As we see from the title, the snake and the mirror are the two most important things in the story. This homeopathic doctor encountered a snake, the snake fell on the doctor. When the snake saw its reflection in the mirror, it was more interesting in that and the doctor’s life was saved.

The snake which had been hiding within the canopy shot down and stuck at Lucky with its fangs bared. Felix watched as Lucky was helplessly attacked by the snake, its fangs plunging deep into his hind legs, making Lucky let out a pained roar.

Felix was standing still in disbelief, he couldn't believe the scene in front of him. The blood throughout his body all went still and cold before rushing to his head. He felt that his head would burst, seeing the scene of Lucky being attacked gave him a huge shock that he couldn't seem to shake.

Felix's eyes kept replaying the scene of Lucky wailing around in the air, letting out sharp cries, and he grit his teeth. He wanted to rush at the snake and attack in a frenzy, but he knew that was suicide. He still had some reason in his mind and knew that the venom from snakes could be cured using the materials of the snake. 

Within a moment, he formulated his plan and proceeded, the struggle between Lucky and the snake was still ongoing and the snake hadn't seemed to notice him, all of its energy and focus placed on Lucky. The whole snake was now visible to his eyes and he was astonished at its colossal size, it was close to a meter thick and 30-40 meters long, its body was coming together and forming an encirclement around Lucky and its head.

Felix used all of his leg power and ran straight at the snake from behind, silently jumping over its hulking body and landing on the top of its head. His sharp hunting knife was still in his right hand and he swung it down towards the snake's eye. He felt the resistance of a rubbery barrier against his knife before it broke through the eyelid, his motion continued forward and his knife plunged into the soft and vulnerable eye of the snake. 

The snake's eye was much larger than a persons, a bit larger than a bowling ball, but his knife struck the spot right where the pupil and iris met, effectively destroying the snake's vision within that eye. From on top of the snake, he could feel the nerves in its body all tense up and then immediately go haywire. It released its bite on Lucky, who fell to the ground, and flung the head of its massive body backwards into the air.

Felix who was on the back of its head was also thrown backwards. The knife that he was holding came out with him, the jagged edges along the back of the blade completely tore the snake's eye apart. He flew backwards high into the air before falling down at a tree, he kept on hitting and breaking branches which gave him a lot of pain, injured him a bit, but also broke his fall bit by bit.

Felix fell to the ground at a place not too far away from the tree, the breath knocked out of him. He tried to get up but only managed to prop himself up somewhat before the snake came into his view. Yellow and green juices and gooey parts of the eye began oozing out of the snake's eye socket, it gave out spasms every few seconds, the damaged nervous system seemed to still have some effects. 

Felix slowly got up, he was hunched over with his hand and arm covering his stomach. Fresh blood seeping out from multiple cut and scrape wounds all over his body, he looked down to check tham and was relieved when he saw that none were fatal, the worst of it was a somewhat deep cut along his arm. 'Fuck that hurt. At least it won't die from it, I gotta kill this little bitch.'

He looked up and saw the face of the snake only 15 meters from, its remaining eye was looking at him with fury, the slitted pupil was narrow to a pin and its rage was focused at him.The energy it gave off was only that of a 4th level beast, but it was much stronger. He felt that it had something to do with the bugging flowers at the edge of the clearing which gave off a strange spiritual energy. 

He spoke towards it in a mocking tone, "Bet your eye feels real nice, eh? Haha." He was just trying to mock the snake to let out some of his own anger, but didn't expect that the snake would become enraged. He felt his heart stop beating for a second and he couldn't hear anything, all of his focus was in his head. 'It couldn't have understood what i said, right?', Before Felix could get any answers, the snake lunged at him.

Felix's gaze switched between the snake and Lucky behind it, his teeth grinded together. The pain all over his body cried out but he proceeded to start a fight with the snake anyways. He felt the pain in every movement, but still continued. The snake was fast, but not fast enough to bite him as long as he kept up his best. The only reason it could even land a hit on Lucky with its huge size and dangerous venom in the first place was because of Lucky's negligence and its sneak attack.

He turned his head and body to avoid another strike of the snake's head. In the short moment that the snake's head layed on the ground where he had just been, he struck out at the same eye and reached up to his elbow before the knife was stopped. 

The snake spasmed for a second before going limp, its whole body falling to the ground and sending a tremor around them. Felix had torn up part of its brain, resulting in it being killed. Before he could give into the pain he felt and pass out, he tore through the scales of the snake with his knife and finally found its heart after a few minutes. Along with some of the meat and blood he had torn out, he carried the heart over to Lucky. 

He only managed to place the bundle of meat and blood in front of Lucky, before the adrenaline coursing through his body ceased and he fell to the ground. He felt a sharp pain in his chest and started puking out mouthfuls of blood. He was laying on his side with barely any consciousness left from the pain.

The peace of the forest came to an explosive end as the earth tore open and began to bleed out. Instead of the liquid ooze of blood, the substance that was poured out from the ground's wound was definitely solid. That much became easily apparent as the object crashed back down to the surface destroying the large pile of lumber which the guild had been collecting. The now shattered log splinters scattered across the dirt where they quickly dissolved into a mass of ones and zeros.

"Well, that sucks," Martial's voice came out as a drawl mumble. "All that work being destroyed by a giant snake. If I weren't so mad, I'd make a joke about how we were snaked out our reward."

His friend's booed his pun, but Martial's words rang true. The being that destroyed their pile of lumber was indeed a massive snake. With scales colored a deep purple, the limbless reptile reached the length and size of a locomotive with several train cars attached. Hate-filled yellow eyes peered down at them menacingly. As the beast's massive snout hissed out at them, large curved fangs popped out and dripped a black poison to the dirt which quickly melted under the acidity of the venom.

Before any other members of the guild could further comment on the turn of events, the snake lashed out. With fangs still leaking poison, the beast lunged at them head first. Its snout crashed into their location, but fortunately they had all managed to jump out of the way of the attack and avoided getting crushed. By the time that they landed in different spots and righted themselves into a proper defensive stances, the limbless reptile had dragged its face from the ground to ready itself for its next move.

Scattered by their attempts to avoid the first attack, the group of friends quickly fell into familiar attack patterns. Martial and Minerva retreated to a safe distance to be effective in their support rolls. Raising his staff, Martial channeled a spell of electricity from his stamina. Lightning blasted off from his staff. Oddly enough, the electricity flew toward his friends instead of the monster. As soon as the lightning made contact with them, it covered them in blazing yellow halos as quick flashing texts of attack and speed bonuses hovered above their heads.

With their combat abilities boosted, the three frontline fighters of the group moved to the action with their weapons brandished. Lucky was the first one to get within striking range of the beast. The centaur galloped to the giant snake and attempted to cut it in two with his massive longsword. Curved on both sides of the blade, the weapon was as long as Lucky was tall giving it a look of one giant wave.

Unfortunately for the guild, the long beast twisted its body out of the way of the swing to effectively avoid any damage. As it came down to rest on the dirt once more, the beast brought the end of its tail up and smashed it down at the frontline combatants. The three warriors managed to avoid the brunt of the attack, but the force of the blow shook the ground beneath them, causing the three of them to stumble in order to avoid falling onto their faces.

Before the snake could follow up with another attack, Minerva used her bow to fire a few arrows into the middle of the monster's body. A large green bar indicating the monster's health popped up above the creature. The damage the girl had inflicted to her foe was minimal, but that wasn't the point of the attack. Text appeared above the health bar indicating that the monster's speed and defense had both dropped from the effect of Minerva's enchanted arrows.

With the snake now weakened, Hookfang jumped into action to capitalize on the opening. He brought his axe up above his head and heaved it down right at the end of the snake's tail, effectively creating a long red gash on the beast's form. Loud hissing sounded out from the monster's maw as its weakened defense and the dwarf's continued strengthening from Martial's enhancement caused over half of its health to fade away from the bar to leave it in a state which was closer to death than to full capacity.

Slitted eyes narrowed menacingly down at the dwarf. Anger obviously fluttered through the enemy program's features as it let out a demonic hiss. Before it could take out its pain on the dwarf, though, the other two frontline fighters moved in to try to deal damage to the beast as well. Once again, the snake was forced to dance away from its enemies to avoid the attacks. This time, though, it did not stick around to try to counterattack. Instead, it twisted its body so that its snout was facing directly down to the soil. It then slammed its face into the turf and burrowed its way beneath the battlefield to be effectively out of danger.

Martial quickly reacted to the monster's newest strategy. Placing a hand on the ground, he channeled electric magic into the terra firma. Although this forced him to cancel his enhancement spell on his friends, it did allow him to push his senses downward below the earth to monitor to the beast's movements. He swiftly figured out whom the monster was targeting, "Lucky, move to your left!"

The centaur took heed of the warning. Using the leg power of a horse, he lunged at admittedly unnatural angle for his species and rolled away. Seeing the mixed being roll sideways like he did would have usually made the others laugh. Considering that the snake popped up right were the centaur was moments before, though, they were just thankful that he did it quickly enough to avoid getting eaten.

Roaring, the snake swung its body around wildly. Its enemies immediately reacted by dropping to the dirt to avoid getting hit by the massive beast. This was exactly what the reptile wanted, though. Turning to the still kneeling Hookfang, it lunged its snout forward with the speed of a whip. Before the dwarf could do anything more than scream in horror, the snake bit down onto the dwarf and dragged him into the air.

"Hookfang!" Hercules shouted in rage. "Martial, full gear!"

Nodding, Martial pointed his staff at the soldier. With a cloud chant, he focused all of his energy to Hercules. The soldier was immediately covered in a massive halo of electricity. Text popped up above his head declaring maximum statistic bonuses. In a blur of motion, the soldier rushed to the giant snake. With speed and agility that wasn't possible for any normal human, he jumped onto the snake's rear and ran up its back without any real concern for the laws of physics.

Settling on top of the monster's head, Hercules looked to see Hookfang struggling in the enemy's mouth. The dwarf's legs were kicking rapidly in a futile attempt to do something to free their owner, "Don't worry, man, I'll get you out of—Woah!"

Feeling the man resting on its head, the snake began to shake wildly once more. In a desperate attempt to hang on, Hercules stabbed his sword into the eye of the reptile. This caused the creature to whine out in agony. Its mouth loosened enough to allow Hookfang to attempt an escape. Covered in mucus and acid that began to burn through his armor, the dwarf tried to pull his head out of the monster's mouth. Before he could escape, though, the snake tilted its head back causing him to slip feet first back into the jaw. With one last hiss, the snake bit down once more to trap Hookfang within its fangs.

"Get me out of here!" Hookfang shouted out while wildly clubbing at the snake's snout with acid burnt arms.

"We're on it!" Lucky rushed to the base of the snake and began to cut at its body. Off to the side, Minerva fired as many arrows as she could to any clear spot she could safely aim at the snake without endangering her friends.

"I-It hurts! The game's not supposed to hurt!" Hookfang shouted. His health bar became visible above his head to show that the remaining damage he could take was minimal. "Why does it hurt so much?!"

"Hold on!" Hercules pulled his sword out and stabbed it down at the snake's remaining eye. This and the previous damage the party had caused forced the snake's health to immediately drop to zero. Trembling, the beast collapsed onto the ground. Its body dissolved into a bunch of ones and zeroes before it disappeared into the nothingness from which it was created.

Hercules landed on the ground which once held the snake and immediately rushed to the downed Hookfang. He was swiftly joined by the other members of the guild. They all knelt around the dwarf only to see that Hookfang's health was at zero just like the snake. Covered in dark acid and with deep fang wounds in his chest, he stared up at them with fear in his eyes as his body disappeared into a spray of numbers in a similar manner to the animal they just slain.

To signify his end, a computerized voice seemed to speak directly into their ears, "Party member Hookfang is dead."

Martial tilted his head in confusion, "That's a new death animation."

"What is taking so long for him to respawn?" Lucky questioned his friends. They had all relocated to a small clearing near the edge of the forest. The three members of the guild that had normal human lower halves were sitting on simple logs to rest. Unfortunately, the centaur lacked such a luxury and remained standing.

"Maybe he's having trouble loading?" Minerva suggested patiently. "Who knows how many people are in the system right now because of the update. It might be slowing everything down."

"Or..." Hercules had a sly smile on his face. "Hookfang could have just logged off and went to the food court. He's always such a sore loser."

Lucky and Minerva shared a look before nodding. That did make sense.

Minerva giggled, "He's probably complaining to his sandwich."

Lucky began to copy Hookfang's gruff tone, "How come those idiots got to live? I was the one that did the hard work. Well, they can just play without me."

The three of them burst out in laughter at the joke made about their missing companion. All the worry in their stomachs immediately faded. There was still one member of the guild that did not look so convinced, however. Martial looked away from his friends. His eyes were locked on the simple village not far from their location. The non-playable characters which lived in the town looked completely peaceful going about their lives, all the while thinking that this world was real.

"I don't know," Martial spoke out. "Usually he would message us with taunts. Why hasn't he?"

The other three members of the guild paused. They all shared looks and thought about the argument. Martial did have a good point. Still, they remained fixed on the idea presented by Hercules.

"Maybe he's just in a really bad mood and doesn't want to talk to us?" Minerva suggested.

"He did look really upset when he died," Lucky nodded. "He was saying something about pain, right?"

Hercules unsheathed his sword and gently pressed his sword against his left hand. With the small bit of pressure he put into the weapon, the blade cut in shallowly to his flesh, "Ow!"

In shock, the red armored warrior pulled the sword away from his limb. He stared at the shallow crimson mark on his hand, "Woah, taking damage does hurts now. Was that part of the update?"

Martial did not appear pleased, "No, it wasn't. The pain levels in VRs are required to be at zero now after there was a huge lawsuit. Real damage isn't transferred when someone logs off, but there were a lot of cases of mental breakdowns from feeling like they died."

"Huh…" Lucky scratched his chin. "Then you think John might just be trying to deal with the pain? Wouldn't he message us to warn us about it? What do you think is the problem?"

Martial bit his lip. Waving his hand, he summoned his menu and began to navigate through it, "I think something's up with the system. I don't know what, though. All I know is that there are changes to the game that I never heard about before. I hate surprises. I'm going to check some things out."

"Okay, you do that. We'll just wait for any kind of update," Hercules suggested. "The system managers will probably fix the problem soon enough, and John will message us when he feels better."

"Yeah," Martial nodded. "That's all we can do. Hopefully they won't take long."

An uncomfortable silence fell over the clearing. No one knew what to say to make the situation better. Unlike the others, Martial didn't shift from the tense atmosphere. He just continued to calmly look through his menu. The other three, though, were not so comfortable. Hercules's eyes drifted to his friends. Worry stood prevalently across both of their faces. He had to fix that.

"Hey, Minerva," Hercules spoke up. "Did you come up with the guild mark design yet?"

Minerva perked up at that. She welcomed the distraction from the serious situation. Opening her own menu, she shifted through her items, "I was hoping to wait to show everyone, but I'm sure John won't mind too much."

"He'll still complain," Martial mentioned.

Lucky scoffed, "He complains when the sun comes up. Might as well give him something legit to whine about."

"Right!" pressing a button on her menu, Minerva summoned a black flag. She then held it up to show the red symbol at the center of the cloth. A white cage with thin bars was holding in a smiling monster with large teeth of razor sharpness. "Tada! The symbol of the Caged Demons guild!"

"No offense, but that's still a stupid name," Martial muttered without taking his eyes off his menu.

Minerva pouted, "No it's not…"

"Don't listen to him, Minerva," Hercules frowned at his friend. "You lost the vote, Martial. No need to pout."

Martial raised an eyebrow and turned to the taller man, "Is that what you think I'm doing? I'm just voicing my honest opinion."

"That doesn't mean you should be rude about it."

Martial shrugged and looked back to his menu, "I said no offense."

"That doesn't fix things," Hercules shook his head in disappointment and turned back to Minerva with a smile. "The flag looks great, Mini."

Minerva returned the look of happiness, "Thanks. I thought the design would strike fear into the hearts of our enemies."

"It will," Lucky grinned. "Especially when I swing my sword at them. I'll put the guild mark right here on my arm. For the pride of the guild, right?"

"Pride, huh?" Hercules looked amused. "Then shouldn't you put the mark over your heart?"

"Hey, I get to choose where my pride goes," Lucky argued. "You keep your pride wherever you want, but mine's in my left arm.

"If you say so."

"By the way," Minerva laid the flag down and summoned a shield from her inventory that had the same mark on it as the flag. "I already put the guild mark on a few weapons."

"Cool!" Hercules reached out for the shield.

Minerva moved the shield away from him and stuck her tongue out mockingly, "No. This is for Hookfang. I'll put the mark on your own shield la—"

"Hey," Martial interrupted them. His normally stony features were marred with concern. "I can't connect to Skyweb."

Lucky tilted his head in confusion, "What?"

"Not just that. I'm totally blind to everything outside the game. And I can't get to my log out menu," Martial gained a hard look at the rejecting beeping sound that resulted from trying to log out. "Something seriously wrong is happening. Until we can figure out what's happening, we should find a safe zone and avoid danger. I think the town is the best bet."

Lucky shook his head, "We can't do that, Martial."

"We don't have a choice."

"No, man. We literally can't," Lucky pointed to the village behind Martial. "The whole town is on fire."

Entertainment has become engrossing to the point that people literally upload themselves into their games. On the day when hundreds of thousands of players excitedly jumped into the newly updated Paradisus, what was once a distraction from life becomes a harsher reality than anyone has ever known.

Lizzy lifted her body up and then stretched like a dog early in the morning, she looked at the map and the hunters seem to be converging on one single area which baffled her compared to the scattered inmates, the group of grouped hunters were much more dangerous.

Lizzy would now have to keep an eye on the grouped yellow dots as she hunted, she looked at the orange dots and found a close one, she got out of the cave and started her journey, this was also the perfect time to ask the system something that was baffling her.

"System the acids I used on that inmate seem to be quite strong why is that?"

"Host as the hosts organs improves and strengthen, the hosts acid would also grow stronger, it uses the same logic as a humans metabolism growing as they grow older"

"Okay I won't question that then since I got an answer"

Lizzy was walking closer and closer on the orange dot to target a new inmate and she hoped it was her granny's murderer, but considering her luck she didn't have high hopes.

A clearing in the forest.

"So what is this meeting about? that you have to wake me up last night and didn't give me a wink of shut eye" Byron.

The man was Byron vakovich, a man from he Eurasian empire, he wielded a rather standard hunting rifle with little to no modifcations, he was a connoisseur of non-modified equipment, he wore a black vest that had pockets for ammo and he had a scar on his rather intimidating face.

"Mr.Byron chill for a bit, there's nothing wrong with getting awoken by two beautiful ladies~" William.

"I have not found any inmates yet and now I'm here on a meeting with randoms" Jonathan.

"Hey kid don't be so chill I feel that they aren't here to play games with us and they mean business" Eric.

"Where are the other two?" Kim.

"Died a silent death due to some sort of attack, their throats were slit clean, I found their bodies without their weapons, those two were classics of this contest and I remember they were master hunters with modified rifles and suppressors, them dying could only mean they were ambushed and I don't believe it was the inmates, I found footprints that could not be formed from the prisoners shoes" Byron.

"Sh*t before we could congregate they had already began to hunt us as well" Ren.

"Hunt us?" Byron, Jonathan, Eric, and William questioned in unison.

"Remember that creature sent to us on our phones? it seems it was a rather unique creature of the island and the government of our countries and fatty Chu wants it, I believe fatty Chu has deployed his special squad to hunt it and us" Kim.

"Well if they're hunting us why don't we show them our true skills hehe" Eric says with a rather ominous smile.

Deepwoods.

Lizzy walked to the spot and found that the inmate was numb from a snake bite and the snake was now slowly moving away from him, Lizzy didn't want it to leave because it was hard to find a snake that was not native to the island, she spat numerous fantasy acid and a line that warned the snake to not cross and even fired a single shot to the dying inmate to kill steal.

Lizzy focused on the snake to know what it was since she doest have snake knowledge except for the newly acquired Burmese python and that snakes are dangerous, the snake was brownish light green in color with its scales edge having the color black.

[Oxyuranus Microlepidotus]
Inland Taipan
Family: Elapidae
Genodes: 1000

"System why does it have a high Genode count?"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for discovering the worlds most venomous snake! The host has been rewarded with a Lucky chest"

"Lucky?! this is not lucky at all!!!"

Lizzy looked at the snake 2 meter long snake that was looking at her, warning her to not come near it, she slowly got near the body and kept eye contact with the snake, she arrive beside the body few seconds later and she then added it to her inventory.

Lizzy stared at the snake and then made her most dangerous decision, she spat limitless amounts of fantasy acid on the snake and the entire area, the snake feeling alarmed by the sudden vibrations from her spitting, immediately attacked her and was splashed by the on the face causing some to get into its eyes, it pulled its head back and hissed loudly it tried to escape and was using its tongue, but acid dripped on its tongue and melted it.

"Did I make the right choice?"

The snake shook its head and tried to escape to who knows where, Lizzy didn't want that and bit the snakes tail, she then spun around and moved closer to a tree where she kept on spinning, letting the snakes head slam again and again on the tree.

"Host has gained 10 Genodes"

"Host has reached the maximum amount of Genodes, would the host want to proceed with evolution?"

"Yes, please"

I was kind to those who were kind and was even kind to those who were not but I also have my limits, they have broken that limit and now it's time for them to pay their dues, with the systems help I can finally have a bit of hope to exact vengeance.

First things first though, I need to become bigger, nobody will be terrified of a 3 inch house lizard!!

The wind was howling.
Nan Baoyi's heart was pounding only to feel the wind had Xiao Yi's unique cold sweet breath and his fresh clothes. The young man was outstanding!
She heard Xiao Yi's muffled voice beside her ears, calmly explaining to her what the long snake formation was.
It was derived from the habits of a snake and there were three kinds of changes.
Attacking the snake's head, the tail would move and roll up;
Attacking the snake's tail, the head would move and bite;
Ramming the snake's body, the head and tail would twist!
More than two hundred soldiers changed freely, the python swayed as though they were not supported by their legs.
How would Second Brother break the formation?
She gripped that lucky coin tightly.
The lucky coin was not circulated in the market. It was a bronze coin carved with auspicious words symbolizing auspiciousness and blessing.
Her lucky coin was carved with patterns of the sun, moon, and stars on one side and a small Han writing of "Good Luck and Success" was engraved on the other side. She wanted to give this to Xiao Yi.
She gripped it too tightly, her tender palms oozed out beads of sweat, drenching the coin completely.
She looked at the ever-changing formation.
She thought to herself, her Second Brother would definitely be lucky and successful!
Looking at the platform.
The crowd held their breath and stared at the situation without blinking.
In the tense atmosphere, Madam Jiang quietly looked at Old Madam.
The old lady kept smiling kindly, only the string of beads on her hand had not been touched for a long time.
This situation was related to the Nan residence's great undertaking, they were all nervous.
She looked at Nan Guang again.
This little brother-in-law and Madam Liu were displaying their affections and had no regard for the crisis that was approaching.
A man like this could not support the Nan residence.
Her eldest brother-in-law died in battle. Her eldest nephew Nan Chengli was the same as her husband, only knowing how to travel around to do business. They did not understand the game of authority in bureaucracy.
They could earn a lot of money for the Nan residence but could not protect the Nan residence from the dignitaries' claws.
Her eldest son Nan Chengshu only knew how to study hard but was not smart. Passing the imperial examination already took a lot of effort, let alone getting a title in the gold list to enter bureaucracy.
Her youngest son Nan Chengyi liked adventures since young. When he was fifteen, he went off to travel around. Two years had passed and there were only a few letters from him, enthusiastically saying how happy he was that he got to save people from danger.
But he could save other people and not the Nan residence.
Her gaze shifted back to the scene.
The young man in black robes and his horse stopped in the middle of the formation, looking grave and stern like a sword that was unsheathed.
Could it be...
Could it be that the future of the Nan residence rests only upon this young man?
Thinking back of all the times and so many years that she neglected him and looked down at him, Madam Jiang softly let out a sigh.
While the Nan family were anxious, many people were waiting to see a fool of them.
Madam Chang said, "My husband is a military officer, under his influence I do know a thing or two about the military. The long snake formation under General Situ's troops was the most famous. That year they could even win against one hundred thousand troops from Yelang. Xiao Yi is young and ignorant, I don't think he understands the meaning of "propriety".
[Translation note: Yelang was a small barbarian kingdom in southern China during the Han dynasty.]
Madam Cheng was upset about the fact that she lost money. Looking at Xiao Yi, she sneered, "Well young people often like to show off in front of others. When he loses face this time, he would know how to behave properly in the future."
"Hard to say, what if Xiao Yi really could break the formation?" Someone asked curiously.
Madam Cheng smirked, "My second son has been familiar with military books since he was a child and he still dares not claim to be able to break General Situ's long snake formation. Who does Xiao Yi think he is, being capable enough to break the formation?"
"That's right, he is overconfident and letting us see a laughing matter here!" Madam Chang ridiculed, "Even if the Nan family have no other youngsters to cultivate, they should not send such a madman to do such things, aren't they afraid of losing face?"
Laughter and ridicule spread all around as if they were looking at Xiao Yi's downfall already.
On the platform.
Nan Baoyi heard the laughter and her face gradually turned red.
She was annoyed but she heard Xiao said calmly:
"Do not care about other people's sneers and abuse. Do not listen to it, do not think about it, do not be afraid. Nan Jiaojiao, the most powerful way to fight back people's ridicule is to be the best and be successful."
The horse raised its hooves!
Nan Baoyi let out a soft cry and in the next instant only saw shadows of swords in all directions. The young man's black spear was quick as lightning, breaking the spears of countless soldiers whenever he passed.
To fight against the long snake formation, he would need to seize the head, wedge its tail, and chop its body!
The black steed blazed forward, appearing like lightning on the head, tail, and body of the snake!
Xiao Yi's shots were extremely ruthless, the troops in the formation had no time to regather their positions and the entire snake was aggressively cut in half!
With just three times of hitting back and forth repeatedly, the whole snake formation was defeated!
The young man in fresh robes rode his horse to the middle of the platform with an unparalleled grandeur!
His handsome looks were completely overlooked, people only admired his formidable force of power!
The entire place was silent.
In just a short timeframe of one incense stick burning finish, the formation...was already broken?
Situ Lin's appearance was stern and could not help but stood up.
In more than ten years in the military, he had seen countless excellent young men.
But no one was calmer, braver, and more outstanding than Xiao Yi!
During the pin-drop silence, he shouted and applauded, "Brilliant!"
He had expressed his attitude towards Xiao Yi.
Everyone immediately looked differently.
Today's Spring Flower Festival actually made the Nan family siblings famous.
What would the Nan family do next?
The dignitaries were busy thinking of plans that the Nan residence may have and the girls in the platform were all convinced of Xiao Yi's appearance and manner.
Xia Qingqing tugged Nan Yan sleeves and talked endlessly, "Yan'er, I think Xiao Yi seemed much better compared to your brother. He is the Nan residence's adoptive son, also considered your brother. Why don't you recommend me to him? My mother is choosing a husband for me recently!"
Nan Yan had lost all her reputation today and did not have the mood to respond.
She listened absent-mindedly while staring at Nan Baoyi viciously.
She would definitely return today's humiliation in two folds!
Nan Baoyi had no time to entertain Nan Yan's stare.
She followed Xiao Yi down the platform, looked up and said, "Second Brother, I ―"
"The young man of Nan family!"
Situ Lin strode over, interrupting Nan Baoyi.
He and a few of his deputy generals all admired Xiao Yi very much and specially invited him to hang out in a restaurant.
Nan Baoyi stood outside of the crowd and watched Xiao Yi leaving with them, letting out a breath of frustration.
The lucky coin was gripped in sweat in her palm.
Alas, she still could not give this to him!
...
After returning home, Nan Baoyi carefully cleaned the lucky coin.
She could win this year's competition all because of Second Brother's effort.
This lucky coin was very auspicious, she must give it to him.
She took out colorful silk threads and wanted to make a necklace with the coin. But because she was clumsy, the fine silk threads were entangled in a ball which looked very ugly.
She had to cut the silk threads.
She held the lucky coin and looked out the window.
It was getting dark but he still had not returned…
After dinner, Nan Baoyi sat in the study, hoping to wait for Xiao Yi.
She flipped the pages of a book carelessly until the moon was up and the candle in the house burned out. The young man still did not return.
She hugged the book and rubbed her eyes, yawning and dozing off.
Her little head touched the table and she gradually fell asleep.


Nan Baoyi grew up spoiled and in a life of luxury but she did not expect to marry the wrong person and ended up with the destruction of her family.
This time when she was reborn, she bit her handkerchief and secretly targeted the lowly adopted son in her residence.
Only she knew that the down-and-out looking young man would have a bright future and be a powerful man eventually.
She changed her spoilt and domineering attitude and be humble and gentle to the future powerful minister, pleasing him in every possible way. It was a pity that he was like a flower in the high mountains and still always ignored her.
She was finally discouraged and planned to find another person to rely on when that fierce and brilliant powerful minister suddenly nullified her chosen husband with a swift move. He leaned against the embroidered couch and lazily stretched out his leg towards her and said, “Jiaojiao, come here, let Second Brother hug you…”

As numerous experts descended from the sky and turned the entire forest upside down, Tang Yue was peacefully slithering away from the danger zone.
Thanks to the underground tunnel shortcut, she was almost within the outskirts of the Eldorian establishment.
She didn't encounter any other beasts en route and was smoothly making her getaway.
There were even 30 seconds still left on her lucky sticker!
So Tang Yue pretty confidently continued slithering away without caring about anything else.
She was completely awestruck by the awesomeness of the lucky sticker. 
It was definitely worth half of her soul strength.
"Master, is there really a treasure in the forest?" She respectfully asked.
At this point, Tang Yue couldn't differentiate between heads and tails. 
Everything that was happening was entirely beyond her grasp.
[Ha Ha. Dumb little snake. I am the treasure that the heavens wanted to destroy.]
"What?" Tang Yue coughed up blood.
[Mmm. I revealed a part of myself and the tribulation lightning greeted me instantly.]
"Then what about luck? Lucky sticker?"
[Ha Ha. Dumb little snake. Everything needs a catalyst.]
[You will understand this when you have more power.]
[System is tired now. Don't disturb me, dumb snake.]
Tang Yue couldn't help but gasp in shock. 
In the name of lucky sticker, did the senior orchestrate and manipulate everything and provide help for her?
She didn't know that the system or rather the elder's soul which had invaded her body was such a heaven-defying treasure.
Tang Yue was a little too tired and worn out to think about these things right now.
She continued slithering towards the elven settlement, dazed and confused.
The remaining seconds in her lucky sticker were also steadily getting depleted.
Everything should have been fine, but suddenly, the ground next to her started quaking.
"Fuck!" Tang Yue's heart almost stopped. This was a very familiar earthquake!
"Damn it. Is fate this determined to end my life today?"
She tried to pick up her pace and slithered faster, but her wounded body did not quite cooperate with her.
"Waaah! Mommy! I am never stepping out of the palace again!"
"Maybe after I reach the Martial realm… no wait, only after I reach Emperor realm!"
Tang Yue was genuinely terrified. 
One after the other, all sorts of beasts have been getting the better of her today! 
The ground which slightly shook now started quaking with much more intensity.
Tang Yue slipped away as best as she could, but a huge crashing noise sounded behind her.
Boom!
The torn apart tattered body of the centipede landed in front of her, blocking her path.
It stared at her with animosity and its mouth was busy chewing on something else. 
Drops of blood leaked out of the corners of its mouth.
The centipede impassively circled around her and blocked her path of escape.
It looked like it was bent on swallowing everything on its path in order to recover its full strength back.
Tang Yue trembled. 
"Damn it! Has the lucky sticker ended already?"
She weakly morphed into her human form. 
Her trembling hands retrieved the mid-grade sword from her space pearl and feebly held it.
Her mind was completely blank. 
Earlier she was toyed around by a mere low-grade beast, now what could she possibly do against a high-grade beast?
As the centipede approached closer and closer to her, Tang Yue collapsed on the ground and held her sword weakly in front of her.
The centipede didn't even bother ignoring the sword and proceeded to open its mouth, with the sword still scratching it.
But in the next instant…
A crisp notification sounded in Tang Yue's mind.
Ding. 1 Quagmire Centipede killed
Ding. 10000 Experience points rewarded
Ding. Congratulations. You have leveled up
Ding. Congratulations. Superfast level up bonus: You have 3 chances for the lucky wheel
Ding. Congratulations. You have leveled up
Ding. Congratulations. Superfast level up bonus: You have 3 chances for the lucky wheel
The monster that was most definitely about to devour her whole, had dropped dead right in front of her, on her lap!
Tang Yue was stunned silly.
She was too scared and frightened out of her wits to even move a muscle.
The sword in her hands dropped and her eyes blinked lifelessly.
Ding. Lucky sticker has been exhausted.
"Ah~" 
Now she understood what had happened!
Tang Yue swallowed the saliva in her mouth and stared at the monstrosity in front of her.
She extended her arm weakly and touched the corpse, even poking it. 
Nothing happened. The beast didn't move. It was definitely dead.
She swallowed her saliva again and retrieved her space pearl to toss in the body of the gigantic beast.
By now, it had almost become a reflex action for her.
Her entire body was still trembling from fear and anxiety.
This was a high-grade beast for heaven's sake! 
It's skin alone was invaluable, let alone its meat and bones!
Everything that was happening felt very surreal to her.
Tang Yue did not dare to linger around any further. If this centipede came knocking at her doorstep, several other beasts could come as well.
She quickly pocketed the damned thing and got the hell out of there.
And just as her tail end disappeared into the tree branches, rustling noises sounded and a group of four elves stepped out of the thickets. 
All of them looked extremely wounded and injured. 
They had also just barely escaped from the calamity back in the forest.
"That… That is Tang Yue? She killed the centipede?" Charlotte stuttered and walked forward.
"You… How did she do that?" Rosalinda was equally shocked.
They had just walked in and only saw Tang Yue collecting dead high-grade beast's body.
The centipede that had terrorized them to death was now being casually pocketed by the weak snake.
Charlotte's eyes almost popped out of their cavity.
She just couldn't believe what was happening in front of her.
"Should we kill her and take it for ourselves?" Herald, one of her companions voiced out.
Charlotte gazed at the disappearing snake and nodded.
Her bleeding lips curved upwards into a sly smile.
"When an opportunity presents itself, how can we miss it?"
The four elves instantly moved, their speeds visibly higher than Tang Yue even at their wounded state.
The night was truly never-ending…


Betrayed by her entire family, Tang Yue, the seventh princess of the snake clan, was betrothed to the tyrannical Elven prince, who is known for his blood lust and cold-blooded murders.

He is even rumored to have killed several concubines mercilessly.

Deemed as a piece of useless baggage and now tossed aside as a political chip, Tang Yue braved herself for the new torturous life that awaited her.

As if this was not enough, someone mysteriously poisoned her in the betrothal ceremony.

But akin to a slap in the face, that poison actually turned around Tang Yue’s pathetic life!!

Poisonous fruits? Sure give me some. I need to snack anyways.

Deadly toxin? Sure. My throat is a bit parched.

Heh. Now you want to actually cut me down? Sure. You just have to slash past this thick skin!

The lowly beast that had invoked its innate ability to evolve silently resolved to conquer the heavens. And of course, she had a master... ahem... system to help her along the way!

"Daddy, daddy."
The pink object started circling around Fearless as soon as it reached the ground. The gang looked closely, and realised that it was a pink snake.
"DADDY!!??" Those that had not seen the snake before all exclaimed in shock. They all squatted down to observe the snake closely.
"Don't be polite, just call me Boss." Fearless replied calmly.
"F*ck you, do you want to die?" Everyone started raging at Fearless for playing with their words.
Fearless pointed at the snake and said, "Trust me, if I am dead, you guys would be coming along as well!"
"What the f*ck is this?" Ming Du poked the snake with his staff and asked.
"Fearless' son!" Wang Yu laughed and answered Ming Du. Wang Yu was the one that got the snake to begin with.
"Son?" Ming Du grabbed the snake in his hands and observed it closely, "It feels more like a daughter…"
Fearless' face changed when he saw Ming Du toying with his snake violently, and shouted, "F*ck you, put it down!"
Ming Du let the down the snake unwillingly and laughed, "Fearless, I couldn't tell before. You are getting better and better at this game, is this the product of your bonding?"
"F*ck you!!" Fearless said angrily, "Get behind me now."
Everyone stood behind Fearless despite not knowing what was going on. Fearless mumbled something to the snake, and it circled around the gang. Then, a pink hexagram appeared beneath them and rose up. The gang was now under a status called "Mystic Barrier".
[Mystic Barrier]: Creates an invisibility barrier with magic. Range: 5 meters. Targets not more than 4 levels above the caster's level would not be able to sense the barrier.
"What the f*ck, it's a group invisibility skill…" Everyone shouted in awe when they saw the description of the status.
Group invisibility skills, as its name suggested, was a skill that granted invisibility to everyone in the group. This type of skills first appeared in the ancestor of all online games, <<LEGEND>>. It was a extremely powerful support skill.
However, this type of skills were considered to be overpowered, so they never appeared again. No one had expected it to show up in <<REBIRTH>>.
Apart from Wang Yu, everyone was an experienced gamer, and knew how powerful the skill was. "What's this snake? A pet?" Everyone asked Fearless with a astonished tone.
Fearless pointed at the snake, and displayed its properties.
<Phantasy Serpent (25) (Uncommon)>
HP: 50
MP: 200 000
Skills:
[Phantom Array] (Active) - Creates a barrier with magic to trap enemy targets within a 5 level difference from the user. Cost : 40MP/second
[Mystic Barrier] (Active) - Creates a barrier of invisibility with a range of 5 meters. Targets not more than 4 levels above the caster's level would not be able to sense the barrier. Cost: 20MP/second. Moving out of the barrier or initiating an attack would stop the skill. Cooldown: 15 minutes.
Owner: Fearless
"Hiss.." Everyone took a deep breath when they saw the snake's properties.
[Phantom Array] was similar to [Dark Barrier]. If used wisely, it could be used for both offence and defence, and would be uncounterable.
[Mystic Barrier] on the other hand, was an extremely powerful skill meant for ambush or protection. It was known that a thief's [Stealth] status would be cancelled if the thief attacked someone, or if the thief was attacked or moved by an outer force. As such, it was possible to surround a thief and beat him out of his [Stealth] status.
However, [Mystic Barrier] allowed the players in the barriers to stay hidden, as long as they did not initiate an attack. Hence, although the gang could not move, the skill was better for them than [Stealth], under the current situation.
"So it's a pet skill, but is there even a pet system in <<REBIRTH>>?" The gang was puzzled.
"No one said there isn't one...I guess there is one, given the current situation" Fearless replied.
Spring Halo was in awe, "Woah, I didn't expect you to get something out of being a pervert. Tell me, did you get this after molesting Angela?"
Spring Halo then grabbed the snake up and smirked, "Hey little girl, come with uncle...I will buy candies for you...Your mom is with me as well…" He looked just like a perverted kidnapper.
Meanwhile, Dominator's Guild was closing on then Quan Zhen Sect gang, when they saw the gang disappearing before their own eyes. They were stupefied.
"What the f*ck, is there something wrong with my eyes? How did they dissapear? Did they activate [Stealth]?" The players from Dominator's Guild shouted in disbelief.
"That's impossible. There are only 2 thieves among them. There is no way that all of them could use [Stealth]. I think they must have used somelike like a teleportation scroll." Peerless Dominator said.
"They are smart to have teleported away, or we would cut them up!" The crowd shouted in anger.
It took them so much effort to finally bring the boss down to half of its health. They were pissed that their progress was disturbed by the Quan Zhen Sect gang.
"Remain vigilant! The reason they started this mess was to take advantage of it and steal the boss. Search around the area in case they are still hiding around here somewhere." Peerless Dominator reminded the crowd.
"Understood!" The crowd dispersed themselves up to search for the Quan Zhen Sect members after receiving the order.
Meanwhile, players were coming to Blazing Sun City from every part of the game. It did not take long before Blazing Sun Plains was filled with people.
In the official statement, lucky bosses were said to drop legendary equipments. After hearing that there was a lucky boss in Blazing Sun City, almost all the big guilds in the server came. Sanguine Alliance and False Symphony were here as well.
There were even more small guilds and random players around. There were people as far as the eyes could seen. It was roughly estimated that there were at least 100 000 players around.
Just how massive was a crowd of over 100 000 people? In reality, that was the population of a whole town. With the number of people gathered in the area, there was not enough place to even stand around.
The poor Goddess of Luck seemed pitiful in the encirclement of over 100 000 players.
"He, did you see that? That's a lucky boss."
"Tsk, I saw it. It doesn't look that impressive...Would it drop something good…"
"F*ck you! Stop pushing around…"
There was only one lucky boss. Anyone who could see it wanted to take advantage of the mess, and those that could not see it kept pushing forward. The whole Blazing Sun Plains was in a complete chaos. The only quiet area was the aggro range of the boss.
Since the players from Dominator's Guild already left the battle, Goddess of Luck had lost its target. It was wandering towards east aimlessly.
No one had dared to stop it, but no one was willing to give it up either. The players had no choice but to follow the boss.


Catching arrows, running up walls, crushing boulders and bending metal, these are but petty parlour tricks in the eyes of a true martial artist. But where can a martial artist stand in an era of material pursuit?

Join Wang Yu, the greatest martial genius the world has ever seen, as he takes on the gaming world of <<REBIRTH>>, where dragons, demons and immortals are more than just legends.

The 2 groups slept soundly, one that was using the other and one that is ignorant to the other.

======

Cuckoooooo

(There wasn't really a rooster in their area, but I like the sound of a rooster to signal that its morning already hehe.)

The two groups woke up rather at the same time. 

"Morning Ai" Liu greeted him with the same manner as always when it was morning,

"Morning Liu" Ai was already accustomed to this routine every time they wake up, so his self would automatically answer Liu each morning he was greeted.

"We should travel now, early bird catches the worm as they say" Ai Suggested to Liu,

"Huh? What do you mean?" Liu asked rather confused

"A-ah nothing don't mind it" Ai awkwardly scratched his head after realizing that he wasn't on Earth anymore, so it makes sense that people here won't understand the idiom he said earlier.

"So where do we go?" Ai asked

"Just follow me, since its still morning we should gather food while traveling so that we have some reserves in case it would rain, calculating the speed and the distance from here to the capital it would still take us 3 days and 3 nights before arriving there, and 5 days if there is any problems towards the path and if there is rain then, we have to wait the rain to stop before continuing traveling," Liu started to get a stick and draw a little map, and he calculated things advanced.


"You're really reliable in this matter bro!" Ai commended Liu for his work.

"You know flattery won't take you anywhere right? No matter how you flatter me, you can't taste my delicious body" Liu started with his gibberish words

"As if I would! I'd rather die than tasting it! DREAM ON!" Ai rebutted towards Liu with a mockery and laugh.

The two stupid duo's continued with their travel. They didn't knew that they were being followed by 3 ninjas in the woods in their backs, the 3 ninjas seemed to be good at hiding and they weren't yet discovered

In the afternoon, Ai and Liu stumbled on a big snake, the snake was enraged, there was someone who would dare to step on its TAIL! The enraged snake stood up and glared at the duo.

Killing intent was emitted on that time

The duo made a run for their puny lives, and the latter followed them frenziedly. 

With Ai recalling something, he pulled Liu with him and said that if they ran in a Zig-Zag pattern then the snake cannot outrun them because the snake would follow the path you would take and the pattern you used.

Liu then analyzed this proposition and he observed the snake, he saw that the snake you go to the trees if they go to trees, if they hop on a boulder then the snake would also hop.

He smiled, and he agreed. They began their Zig Zag pattern

After sometime of running the duo looked in their backs still using the zig zag pattern.

Swoosh!

A snake appeared almost biting the face of Ai, it jumped towards Ai, luckily Ai's face was inches away from the attack.

"What the FUCK!" Liu was dumbstruck, how was the snake reached them? Shouldn't it be left far away ?

"You freaking idiot! I almost got my beautiful face ripped apart with your stupid running pattern!" Liu angrily. 

"I'll Fucking kill you!" Liu shouted, he threw a kick in Ai

"Ah-eh" Ai was dumbfounded also, he was lost at words at this time and evaded the kick of Liu


Ai was also surprised, didn't they say that running in a zig-zag manner would make you outrun a snake?

Then, Ai realized something, shit! I've been scammed! 

"Ah and also, it's not beautiful, its disgusting as fuck" Ai corrected Liu

Your daddy had been embarrassed and scammed! To hell with you zig-zag pattern! I almost had my brother's ugly face ripped apart.

Time flew by and they managed to escape the crazily angry snake.

"Fuck yo mama!" Liu glared at Ai

"Charge experience man! Don't be so angry duh, isn't your fucking face safe?" Ai rolled his eyes to this fumming man infront of him,

"Tsk, I'll get my revenge in no time. Mark my words" Liu promised

"Aye-aye," Ai disregard Liu's words.

Growwwwwllll

A sudden tremor was felt after they fought with words. Like a beast that had awoken and was very angry at that time

"Oh right, we spent running all time, with your stupid idea we almost got killed, and that made us run for a longer time and yes now, we didn't even got a fruit or two to eat" Liu lashed out

"OH yeah!? my fault eh!? I did really wish your face was ripped open that time." Ai angrily answered.

"But well since I was at fault there a tiny bit, then I shall collect fruits then, i'll do the collecting of food later, and wood also." Ai proposed

"Very well then, I'll handle the bush, let's use the same tactic." Liu agreed on the proposition of Ai


Liu was left alone in the area, he was busy pulling and breaking.

He made 15 bushes and they had certain distances to each other, he made the same tactic last night, he was fairly fast in this job so he was waiting on Ai to appear, while doing so he dozed off


"Tsk I'm quite lucky to have these bountiful harvest, hehehe," Ai arrived on the camp

"Oh~ he's sleeping eh~ hehehehe" an evil laughter was heard after Ai saw Liu dozing off under the tree.

"Hmmm, a little bit here and there and viola! Hehehe, I'm a genuis!" Ai graded his work

'Oh Ai already arrived,' Liu heard Ai's voice so he woke up, rubbing his eyes, and yawn he greeted Ai.

"Oh-oh! the food is here! You see I was quite lucky to have these food harvested! See! See!" Ai presented his hard-earned fruits and pointed the woods he collected.

"hmmm" Liu nodded and looked at the fruits Ai harvested and a frown appeared 

"HUUUH?! LUCKY?! FOOD?! The fuck are you playing at! there's only a handful of we can eat! the rest is Unedible they are toxic! THE FUCK ARE YOU SAYING LUCKY?! HUUUUUH!?" Liu angrily shouted at Ai

"Ah-ehem, hehehehehe. You see I'm not yet familiar with the fruits so, WHY ARE YOU BLAMING ME! YOU KNEW THAT I WASN'T  EVEN A BIT FAMILIAR WITH THE OUTSIDE WORLD AND YET YOU BLAME ME FOR THIS SHIT! HECK WOULD I KNOW IF THERE ARE EDIBLE OR NOT! YOU JUST DOZED OFF HERE AND YET YOU SHOUT LIKE TTTTTHHHHHAT!" Ai  with his reply from an embarrassed tone then to an enraged one


"Oh-oh-oh Right, right, BUT IT WAS YOU WHO PROPOSED THIS YOU FUCKING RETARDED ASSHOLE! SO WHY WOULD I NOT BLAME YOU HUUUUUH!?" Liu applied the same medicine that was put to him. 

The argument with this two idiots had its conclusion after sometime, 

"What are you doing?" Ai asked Liu, seeing that Liu was wrapping the extra food in a leaf and hiding it in a hole of a tree.

"Don't you see it's obvious, Im hiding it, wrapping it with leaves so that insects and worms can't invade our precious food, and so that we can have a breakfast tomorrow bird brain" Liu said to Ai

"Huh!? Ya picking a fight!?" Ai lashed 

"Come ya mama! come!" Liu raised his middle finger and beckon Ai

What is Magic? How does it feel to have magical powers? All those magical powers in games, how does one feel to wield it?
 In this story a 15 year-old  boy who wished to have magical powers were granted and transported to another world called World of Magic whereby humans possess magic in order to live. 
Alluka's Adventure starts here!

Lin An had thought about losing on purpose to save his strength and wait for Li Kuang to win so that he could challenge him.
However, Li Kuang was actually defeated by a local camp member before Lin An could even enter the arena.
Lin An had noticed the local camp member in various battles during the previous two days. Surprisingly, he always defeated his opponents by a small margin. When Lin An asked the other camp members about the lucky cultivator, he learned that his name was Feng Hen.
Feng Hen and Li Kuang had been placed in the same group, but Lin An hadn't noticed this because he had been thinking about a plan to avenge his junior Jiuxiao Sect disciples. He had only noticed Feng Hen on the stage during his battle with Li Kuang defeated.
As expected, Feng Hen had won by a small margin.
Lin An couldn't help but pay more attention to the seemingly lucky camp member.
Since Li Kuang had lost, Lin An had to defeat the other opponents in his bracket. Then, in order to get another chance to enter the Dragon God Illusionary Realm, Li Kuang would definitely challenge him.
Out of the remaining competitors, Lin An was the only disciple still in the initial level of the golden core stage. He seemed to be the weakest competitor in the tournament, so Li Kuang would definitely choose him.
However, Lin An would have to make his battles appear competitive. Even though he couldn't lose, he couldn't win too easily either. He would have to avoid using all of his trump cards in his fights. 
If he won too easily, then Li Kuang would be scared, and he wouldn't challenge Lin An.
Additionally, if Lin An exposed his secret techniques, then Li Kuang would be on guard, and it would be difficult to kill him and avenge Lan Qi and Junior Brother Zhou. 
Once his turn arrived, Lin An walked calmly into the arena. His opponent was a thin and feeble-looking man, but what surprised Lin An was that he was only at the intermediate level of the golden core stage. 
Despite his average cultivation level, he had defeated many cultivators who were at the peak of the golden core stage to enter the ultimate rounds of the major competition. Lin An immediately concluded that there had to be something special about his opponent.
He would have to figure out the man's special skills in order to avoid an upset.
The competition began, and after both parties bowed to each other, the thin man raised his hand. In an instant, two blazing golden rays that looked like two golden snakes emanated from the man's hand and spun toward Lin An.
Lin An hurriedly activated the protection of the Eastern Empire Bell and the morality demon sealing technique. He then used his palms, which were covered in golden rays, to grab at the two golden snakes.
However, Lin An was shocked by the nature of the attack.
While his left hand grabbed the golden snake-shaped ray, his right hand grasped at thin air. The golden snake passed through Lin An's right hand like a phantom and bit him, but it didn't cause any damage.
'Is this a phantom attack?' Lin An wondered.
After Lin An crushed the golden snake in his left hand, the thin man attacked again. In an instant, three identical golden snakes rushed out from his hand and flew menacingly toward Lin An.
As the three golden snakes rushed towards him, Lin An understood that he was in trouble. 
After the first round of confrontation, he already knew that there would be a phantom among the three golden snakes. However, there was also a possibility that all the golden snakes were real. 
Therefore, an opponent had to figure out how to differentiate the real golden snakes from the phantom ghost snakes even though they had the same form. 
If they couldn't adapt and differentiate between the real snakes and the phantom snakes, then they would have to intercept all the three golden snakes. If only one of them was real, then the other two attacks wouldn't have any effect.
However, from the pattern of his attacks, it seemed that the thin man would continue releasing more snakes. If he released nine golden snakes, then an opponent would have to use up more energy to intercept all the nine snakes. 
As the number of golden snakes continued to increase, the thin man's opponent would have to exert more energy to defend himself, and eventually, one of the real snakes would successfully launch a sneak attack under the cover of the other fake snakes. 
This would not only increase the investment of defensive magic power from a rival, but it would also cause them to invest too much energy and become bored. In the end, the thin man would eventually win.
Lin An had finally figured out the ability that the thin man had relied on to defeat so many experts and enter the tournament's finals.
Fortunately, the thin man's moves were useless against Lin An. 
He was naturally immune to such probability problems because he had the success rate system. 
Instantly, a virtual screen popped up in front of Lin An's eyes and analyzed each of the oncoming golden snakes.
[The probability of winning the battle against golden snake number one is 98%.]
[The probability of winning the battle against golden snake number two is 2%.]
[The probability of winning the battle against golden snake number three is 2%.]
After obtaining the probabilities, Lin An immediately gave up on his defense against the other two golden snakes. 
He drew out his Nine Nether Weeping Blood Sword and slashed at the first golden snake. After cutting the snake in half, Lin An tightened his grip on the sword and charged at the skinny man. 
Once the other two golden snakes touched Lin An's body, they turned into phantoms and disappeared.
When the thin man saw that Lin An had easily identified the real golden snake, he was immediately startled. 
However, he assumed that Lin An had just been lucky. After calming down, he ignited his palms again and released nine golden snakes.
At the same time, the success rate system's virtual screen quickly marked out each golden snake.
[The probability of winning the battle against golden snake number one is 98%.]
[The probability of winning the battle against golden snake number two is 4%.]
[The probability of winning the battle against golden snake number three is 4%.]
...
[The probability of winning the battle against golden snake number nine is 98%.]
Of the nine golden snakes released, two were real, and seven were fake. Lin An's charging figure didn't slow down. 
He immediately cut the first golden snake in front of him into two halves, and to the thin man's surprise, he didn't bother to defend against the remaining seven golden snakes.
Instead, he waited until the ninth golden snake arrived before he raised his sword to block it. With a flip of his wrist, Lin An cut off the snake's head.
Before the thin man could launch another attack, Lin An was already standing in front of him. 
Suddenly, the nascent soul stage elder referee quickly entered the arena and blocked the tip of Lin An's sword, which was inches away from the thin man's forehead.
At the same time, he announced, "Lin An wins this round!"
If the thin man had realized that Lin An had figured out his spell and given up on using the golden snake secret technique, he would not have lost the match so easily.
However, his proud spell had been broken by an early stage golden core cultivator, which made it hard for him to accept reality.
Seeing that Lin An had easily fought through the nine golden snakes, the skinny man had been extremely shocked, which was why he had failed to react to Lin An's sword in time. 
In order to protect him, the referee had stopped the match and saved Lin An a lot of energy.
The peak-stage golden core cultivators who had suffered defeat because of the golden snakes were all surprised. 
Finally, one cultivator couldn't help but ask Lin An how he had differentiated the real golden snakes from the phantom snakes.
When he heard the question, Lin An put his hands behind his back and replied calmly, "I was just lucky."
After Lin An had exited the arena, the scheduled fights took place one after the other. Among the purple-clothed disciples, only Li Kuang had lost his battle. The other five cultivators all advanced to the next round. 
In the other groups, nobody challenged the winners from the previous rounds. However, Lin An's side had a long line of people who wanted to challenge him.
Since Lin An was only at the initial level of the golden core stage, the other cultivators felt that choosing him was equivalent to winning.
Another reason was that, in the cultivators' views, Lin An's victory had a lot to do with luck. 
The cultivators were skeptical about Lin An's skills. He was yet to show his ability and convince the masses that he was worthy of entering the Dragon God Illusionary Realm. 


Lin An woke up and found himself in an Eastern Fantasy world. 
In this world, power was everything. The powerhouses could easily control it all.
Those who were capable enough could claim everything, be it money, women, or power. A voice sounded in the mind of Lin An, who was still puzzled over his reincarnation to the Eastern Fantasy World.
[Congratulations, host! You have activated the Success Rate System. Whatever you do, you will be able to see your success rate!] 
Since then, Lin An was able to check his success rate every time before he did something!
“The chances of you successfully refining your body with this body refining technique are 90%.” 
“The chances of you obtaining treasures when you open this treasure box are 100%.” 
“The chances of you surviving in this cave are 0%.” 
“The chances of you being favored by the sacred maiden and having a relationship with her are 100%.”


I opened my eyes, breathing heavily. Where am I? I looked around, finding myself to be in a forest of some sort. I looked up and found the leaves of the trees to be blood red, beautifully contrasting with the sky. I was released from his entranced state by the sound of a twig snapping behind me. I whipped my head around before throwing myself to the side as a snake flew past me. The snakes head slammed into the tree he had been leaning on, temporarily dazing it. I stumbled back against another tree as the snake writhed and coiled its body, facing me. I felt around the ground and found a somewhat sharp rock, picking it up and holding it in front of me as if to ward off the snake. That didn't really work as the snake leaped at me. I panicked and swung the stone towards it, slamming into its head and throwing it to the ground.

It writhed around with its head bashed in for a few moments before it quickly lost its vigor, succumbing to death. I slid down the tree and to the ground, panting.'That's strange, why did I get tired so fast' I looked down at himself and saw short the short legs of at most 12-year-old boy. Now that I thought about it my stomach was tearing at me. I could see my ribs defined under my skin when I lifted my shirt up. I couldn't think any further on this as I was interrupted by a voice inside my head.

[Hunted Juvenile Forest Snake x1, 10 SC Awarded.]
[Congratulations! For killing your first monster you have been awarded Starter Gift Pack x1]

I had been a fan of web novels so I'm familiar with the situation I now found myself in. I managed to suspend my disbelief at least momentarily to try something I'd always wanted to do. Status

[Name: Kris Chandler]
[Species: Human]
[Level: 1 (10/100)]
[Strength:2]
[Dexterity:2]
[Vitality:1]
[Intelligence:5]
[Wisdom:4]
[Skills: N/A]

[Would host like to open Starter Gift Pack x1 ?]

Yes

[Congratulations! You have received: Weapon Roulette x1, Armor Roulette x1, Item Roulette x1, Unique Skill Roulette x1, and 500 SC]

System, open all of them starting with the Item Roulette.

[Congratulations! You have received: Lucky Bead (Rare), Sturdy Steel Spear (Uncommon), Leather Chest-piece (Common), and Battle Sense (Epic). System advises the host to equip the obtained items through the use of the 'Inventory' function.]

Inventory

A large holographic screen appeared in front of me,  it had two rows of ten slots and the rest of the slots had small lock icons on them. Four of the slots contained different icons, little chibi versions of the items themselves I figured. I tapped on a little spear icon.

[Sturdy Steel Spear - Uncommon]
[Attack: 15-30]
[+2 Strength]
[Forged by a skilled smith, this spear will serve its wielder well]

As I tapped a button to equip the spear I suddenly felt a heavy weight in my hand. I set the spear down, thankful for the two strength bonus as otherwise, it might have torn my arm out of its socket. I'd forgotten that I'm occupying the body of a child, not even in my teen years yet.
I tried picking up the spear with both hands and swung it around a few times. I could wield it uncomfortably but would tire quickly while using it. I looked back at his inventory, selecting the armor.

[Leather Chest-piece - Common]
[Defense: 10]
[+1 Vitality]
[A mass produced leather chest-piece made for foot soldiers.]

I equipped it and immediately felt the effect of the other point in vitality. I felt his stamina increase greatly, and I felt much healthier, even though he hadn't eaten anything. Speaking of, I'm still starving and that snake was just lying there... Though I can't eat it raw, and I didn't have any way to start a fire. I had an idea. System, you said I gained SC, what is that?

[SC stands for System Currency. SC can be used in the system's shop to buy nearly anything in existence if you have enough of it.]

By the way system, even if I've read system novels before I really shouldn't have adapted this fast. What's with that?

[Notifying host that when his soul transmigrated the system changed it to adapt better to its new environment.]

It's kinda creepy that it can do that but I suppose in the end it helps me survive. Anyways, time to check out my other things, and then check the store. I looked at the little bead.

[Lucky Bead - Rare]
[Luck +5]
[A bead passed down through generations of thieves, blessing it to bring luck to the user.]

I equipped the lucky bead before looking at the final thing remaining in my inventory. It was a book. I tapped on it.

[Battle Sense - Epic]
[Level: 1]
[Battle Sense is a unique skill that only one in several tens of millions of people are born with. As it levels up it will make the user inherently skilled in the art of fighting, at high levels, every one of the user's moves will be a fighting technique in itself.]

That seems like just the right thing for someone like me with no experience in fighting. System, how do I use the book to gain the skill?

[Host just needs to ask for the skill book to be used]

Alright then, system use the Battle Sense skill book.

[Skill Book: Battle Sense (Epic) has been used]

I picked up the spear and as opposed to before where it felt heavy and awkward, now holding the spear just felt... Right. I swung it around in graceful arcs subconsciously minimizing the amount of unnecessary movement. 

[Skill: Spear Mastery (Common) Gained]

I put the spear down and figured the snake wasn't cooking itself.

[System recommends that the host buys the Auto-Cooking function for 50 SC]

Correction. The snake was cooking itself.

18 year old Kris dies saving a child, he gets hit by a truck (ERROR: CANNOT CLICHE HARDER) and his soul is sent across time and space to possess a recently deceased homeless boy.

This is my first real try in writing a story so bear with me as I flounder about trying to piece together a semblance of literature.
