Mirror, Mirror, on the wall
Who's the BADDEST of them all?

The SSG President of the Academy Vs. The Basketball Captain of E-State University. Who do you think will win?

Let's Play A Game
Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the next player of them all?

Mira is a descendant of The Mirror. The Mirror is a millennias old kingdom, who have been protecting the world from The Shard.
The Shard has been The Mirror's arch enemy for over 3 million years, which was when The Shard broke off from The Mirror and it's ways...The  Shard's main purpose is to annihilate The Mirror, and all mankind.
The Mirror has been looking for the heir to their throne ever since The Shard stole the child and dropped it somewhere in a distant dimension...on the planet Earth.
Mira is that heir...If only she knew...

Luo Feng and the other heirs in the Hong Alliance looked toward Bark Mirror, along with heirs from other groups as well. They were all wondering what Bark Mirror Emperor would like to do.
Heng! Heng!
Bark Mirror Emperor smiled and kept walking toward the Hong Alliance group even though he was being stared at by lots of other heirs. He soon arrived at the where Hong Alliance group had gathered.
A universe knight within the Hong Alliance stood up. "Bark Mirror Emperor, what are you doing here?" 
"I'm here… for Blade River Emperor."
"Blade River Emperor?"
All the heirs who heard this stood up in anticipation. They had all heard that Bark Mirror Emperor had once hunted Blade River Emperor, and the latter could only resort to hiding in the Nine Remoteness Whirlpool to escape. Now, Bark Mirror Emperor was back for Blade River Emperor.
Luo Feng looked at Bark Mirror Emperor and asked, "Why are you looking for me, Bark Mirror Emperor?"
"Haha! I haven't seen you for more than 80,000 years." Bark Mirror Emperor looked at Luo Feng, smiled, and showed his fangs. "I can already sense that you're more powerful. Blade River Emperor, have you become undying?"
Quite a few heirs started to wonder the same thing.
"Hmm… Blade River Emperor is indeed more powerful."
"But still, he can't compare with Bark Mirror Emperor."
"Bark Mirror Emperor is a unique life form who can rival a universe knight. As for Blade River Emperor, he is, after all, a human being. It's quite normal that he's less powerful."
There were many discussions among the heirs in the distance. But Luo Feng wasn't affected by the discussions at all. He nodded and answered, "You're indeed perceptive. That's right. I just became undying."
"Congratulations." Bark Mirror Emperor broke into laughter. "The legendary Blade River Emperor—who could kill an emperor limit when he was only a sector lord, who could escape me when he was only a sector lord, and who could stay alive under the attack from Mud Knight when he was only a sector lord. You had 620,000 battles and won almost all of them…"
Bark Mirror Emperor seemed to be flattering Luo Feng, but his tone sounded aggressive. The heirs listening to the conversation were quite disturbed by his words… Luo Feng's reputation was built on them! However, they had to admit that Luo Feng was indeed impressive to have accomplished so much as a mere sector lord.
"Now that you've become undying," Bark Mirror Emperor continued, "I have to admit that I was not as good as you when I was a sector lord. I'm exhilarated that you've become undying. Exhilarated."
"Thanks," Luo Feng said.
"If you were that powerful when you were only a sector lord," said Bark Mirror Emperor, "you must be much more powerful now that you've become undying."
The heirs on the open-air square thought that the way Bark Mirror Emperor complimented Luo Feng was bizarre, but they agreed. Luo Feng must be incredibly strong if he was able to win so many battles without the help of outer force, and he was only a sector lord back then.
"I'm here," said Bark Mirror Emperor, glaring at Luo Feng, "firstly to congratulate you, and secondly… to challenge you! Blade River Emperor, you're worth challenging. Blade River Emperor, you're worth all my efforts. Do you dare have a life or death battle with me, Blade River Emperor?" 
Bark Mirror Emperor gazed at Luo Feng.
Silence. The open-air square went silent instantly. The heirs were all excited, but they kept quiet and watched Luo Feng.
"Life or death battle?" Luo Feng frowned. "Whereabouts? Inside the world of glory?"
"Of course not." Bark Mirror Emperor licked his lips, and his golden eyes glinted with hostility. "I mean a real-life battle. We can pick a place in the Ancestral God Secret Region and have a battle with the promise that neither of us will accept any assistance. It's an entirely one-on-one, life or death battle. Do you dare accept my challenge?" He smirked. "No need to invent excuses. Just tell me, do you dare accept? If you're scared, you can say no. However, I don't think a universe-renowned peerless talent will disappoint me."
Bark Mirror Emperor stared at Luo Feng. "Accept? Or not?"
******
The open-air square was deathly silent. Tens of millions of heirs all listened carefully.
Blade River Emperor was indeed a legend. Would he fight Bark Mirror Emperor after becoming undying? Even though Bark Mirror Emperor wasn't as fabled as him, he was, after all, a powerful unique life form that could intimidate countless undying fighters. Would he accept the challenge?
It was understandable to assume that Luo Feng wouldn't dare accept the challenge. After all, a life or death battle invitation from a powerful unique life form was intimidating enough to most. However, his reputation would be shattered if he said no.
Luo Feng was undying, but Bark Mirror Emperor was undying as well.
They were both undying… yet Luo Feng was still terrified of Bark Mirror Emperor!
******
"Accept or deny?" Bark Mirror Emperor asked again, staring at Luo Feng.
Hu!
Luo Feng stood up, looked at Bark Mirror Emperor, and smiled. "How can I not take the chance since you're leaping to your own death?"
All the heirs on the open-air square were thrilled.
"You accepted it?" Bark Mirror Emperor's eyes gleamed.
"Of course!" Luo Feng said. He looked around. "I won't deny any challenges from undying fighters!" The voice resounded on the entire square.
All the heirs were stunned.
"Oh?"
"Reckless!"
What Luo Feng had just said was so audacious that Zhu Chong Emperor, who had been watching from afar, couldn't help smiling.
A gloomy teenager in half-transparent purple armor chuckled. "Zhu Chong Emperor, he said he won't deny any challenges from undying fighters," said the teenager. It was difficult to tell whether the teenager was male or female. "Are you just going to let him go like that? If I were still undying, I would kill him myself."
Zhu Chong Emperor glanced at the purple-armored teenager beside him. "Purple Rain Knight, you're already a universe knight. Don't meddle." 
The purple-armored teenager was an incredible unique life form with a life gene level higher than that of Zhu Chong Emperor! He was the mightiest undying fighter on Bauhinia Island before, and he had killed quite a few universe knights when he was undying. After becoming a universe knight, he grew to be a powerful combatant in the Ancestral God School.
"He might not even survive Bark Mirror Emperor, let alone me." Zhu Chong Emperor shook his head. "Luo Feng is too arrogant. He may be a peerless talent, but Bark Mirror Emperor is a special life form with a life gene level of 2,000 times. That's a huge gap."
"Yes." Purple Rain Knight nodded.
 Special life forms had their own sense of pride.
"Haha… Fantastic." Bark Mirror Emperor broke into laughter. "I'll send an email to you later and tell you the universe coordinates. I'll choose an area right next to the portal of the Ancestral God Secret Region."
"Okay." Luo Feng nodded. "What time?"
"The sooner, the better. But I need to give you some time for preparations. In half a day, and I'll tell you the location later." Bark Mirror Emperor was further excited.
"Okay." Luo Feng nodded.
"Haha…" Bark Mirror Emperor laughed again. He stared at Luo Feng. "Blade River Emperor, I didn't imagine you would be this brave!"
"I hope you can still laugh at the end of the battle." Luo Feng smiled.
"The one with a strong personality," Bark Mirror Emperor said, grinning, "is always the one who dies first."
Sou!
Bark Mirror Emperor disappeared.
Luo Feng looked around and noticed Zhu Chong Emperor and the purple-armored teenager staring at him. He smiled and vanished.
******
The news incited a firestorm. All the heirs in Ancestral God School were thrilled. Even the battle between two real universe knights wouldn't have drawn so much attention. After all, a battle between two undying fighters with universe-knight power was rarer.
Bark Mirror Emperor was a unique life form with the power of a universe knight. Blade River Emperor, a universe-renowned super-talent of the human race, and he had just become undying!
A life-or-death battle between those two… It was such explosive news that billions of races in the universe knew about it instantly through the heirs on Bauhinia Island. All the superpowers knew about it immediately, and so did the human race.
"What? Blade River Emperor Luo Feng is going to engage in a life-or-death battle with Bark Mirror Emperor in the Ancestral God Secret Region?"
"Is that a joke?"
"Bark Mirror Emperor is a powerful special life form, and he has the power of a universe knight. Even ordinary universe knights can be killed by him. Blade River Emperor is simply reckless!"
"Blade River Emperor has a clone talent technique. He won't die."
"But he can get killed! And then his treasures will be taken away. His true treasures were bestowed by our human race. If they're taken by Bark Mirror Emperor, it's a loss for all of us."
"Reckless."
"Arrogant."
"Foolhardy."
Those universe knights who were already dissatisfied with Luo Feng all thought this peerless talent was too haughty! They had seen many peerless talents who were similarly full of themselves, and they would only come to their senses after they suffered great losses!
"He will come to his senses after this battle."
"However, it will cost him true treasures!"
******
Meanwhile, Luo Feng spent his time in the palace on Bauhinia Island.
"This Bark Mirror Emperor is indeed confident," Luo Feng chuckled.
"Master," said Tian Chen Emperor. "Primal Chaos City Leader gave you a big challenge by letting you live on the mountainside of Thunder Island."
"Of course, I know that." Luo Feng nodded. "That's why I need Bark Mirror Emperor. True gold fears no fire; the stronger the fire is, the purer the gold is. It's about time." 
Luo Feng stood up.
"We congratulate our master beforehand, for we know you will return with a victory," Tian Chen Emperor said respectfully.
"Prepare a celebration feast," said Luo Feng. "I'll invite Thousand Rain Emperor, Cha Man Emperor, and my teachers after I defeat Bark Mirror Emperor." 
He laughed, then teleported himself to the square in front of the leader's palace on Bauhinia Island. He then teleported himself to the secret region through the waterfall.


Year 2056, in a city in the Yuan Jiang Su Jin area. On top of a ruined, shattered six story residential apartment sits a teenager wearing a combat vest, militaristic trousers, and alloyed battle boots. On his back is a hexagonal shield and equipped is a blood-shadow battle knife. He sits there silently on the edge of the roof. At this time, the sparkling sky was shining and there was a refreshing breath within the air that blew towards him. However, there was only silence within the ruined, deserted city, with an occasional howl that makes your heart skip a beat.     

Even Illusion Elder and the other three elders were in shock. They had used the Ancient Sky Mirror because it was a safe haven, but now they found themselves unable to escape from their refuge.
Some super elites began to wish that they had never used the mirror at all.
"You've only just now noticed?" Han Sen said with dark amusement. The red color continued to spread across the mirror.
It was a Real Blood invasion. Real Blood's takeover always started out slow, but the more of the geno core Real Blood gained control over, the faster the process would go.
Pang!
The super elites wanted to escape, but they could only hit the bloody reflective surface. They couldn't exit like they had earlier.
All the creatures and spirits kept pounding the mirror, like a swarm of imprisoned monsters. They were terrified as they struck the glass wall that stood between them and freedom. They couldn't get out.
"*sshole! What did you do?" The few elders looked surprised.
When the super creatures were killed, they'd end up locked inside the mirror. And as Han Sen watched them try to escape, it felt like he was watching a horde of rabid demons from hell.
Han Sen was delighted that he had managed to take control of Ancient Sky Mirror, though. Not only could the object revive fallen comrades, but it could also trap others inside. Han Sen hadn't expected the mirror to have such versatility.
Real Blood gained full control of the mirror, and a connection was established directly between the captive mirror and Han Sen's brain.
The creatures and spirits all crowded to the front of the mirror in a frightened and angry mob. They kept pounding the bloody surface, Han Sen thought they looked like a horde of zombies trapped inside a container.
Han Sen and Death Goddess proceeded to kill the remaining spirits and creatures that were outside the mirror. Once that was done, all their enemies were trapped inside the mirror.
Han Sen then took control of the mirror, forcing it to rise up slowly into the sky.
Rocks broke and tumbled away from the base of the mirror as it rose, and cracks shot across the length of the valley.
"Impossible! How can the mirror be controlled!? Impossible!" The beings in the mirror were all so shocked. 
The mirror's power was special, so finding someone else of the same element to control it was thought to be impossible. They had been happy to add their reflections to the mirror. It did not matter if they were injured or killed; they could come back. In many ways, they were invincible.
But they knew the implications of the mirror being under someone's control. If someone gained possession of the mirror, that person would control all the reflections that the mirror held.
They really didn't want to believe that Han Sen had asserted control over the thing. Unfortunately, it was an undeniable truth.
Katcha!
Ancient Sky Mirror tore its way up out of the ground. The place where the mirror had rested was now seeping blood like a red fountain.
It was like a spring of infinite power. Han Sen realized now that the mirror was using that as a source of constant energy. It was how it kept on reviving the elites who had died.
"Skysword! This grudge seems to reside between you and Illusion only; let us go. If you touch the rest of us, that means you will be going up against the rest of the Fourth God's Sanctuary!" one of the elites yelled.
"Yeah! This has nothing to do with us. Let us go or Yin Demon will come after you."
"The Manlong are heroes. If you kill me, they'll kill you."
"I, Longmei..."
Goddess was inside there, as well. She was in shock, and she shouted, "Han Sen, if you let us go, Sacred will forgive the grudge it has with you!"
Han Sen did not care, though. All he did was stare at them, letting them yell in anger, sadness, and desperation. Whatever their expression, Han Sen did not care.
The mirror slowly flew to Han Sen, and as it did, it became smaller. When it reached his hand, it was only around the size of his palm. He was easily able to grab it.
"Skysword, if you touch us, you will die!" Illusion Elder roared, but he was obviously trying to suppress his fear.
"Die!" Han Sen used his mind to blow up Illusion Elder's body. The mirror was dyed red once more.
"Berserk Super Creature Illusion Beast killed. No beast soul gained. Geno core destroyed. The flesh has been destroyed. The Life Geno Essence is missing."
Han Sen was surprised. This was the first he had never received a Life Geno Essence.
After watching Illusion Elder's sudden demise, everyone became angry and shocked. The rest of Illusion went mad. Han Sen used his mind to kill all the yelling monsters. And seeing that, none of the others dared to speak now. They were all in shock.
But the creatures that were killed inside the mirror did not leave anything behind. He noticed there really weren't any Life Geno Essences being made available.
They had Life Geno Essences, but the mirror absorbed them. They made the mirror stronger.
Han Sen took the mirror and went to sit on Little Star's back. He wanted to leave the valley. Death Goddess came to sit down on it, too. She did so naturally, as if it was something she was used to doing.
Han Sen felt as if he had a bit of a headache. But since Han Sen couldn't undo what had happened, and she seemed to consider him family, he was willing to take her back.
News of the fight spread across all of the Fourth God's Sanctuary. The stories of the fight seemed impossible, but many spirits and creatures had come to watch the attack on Death Goddess. There were too many witnesses for the stories to all be lies.
Han Sen and Death Goddess killed the elites of many tribes, and he had even taken the mirror. News of this was everywhere, on the tip of every tongue in the Fourth God's Sanctuary.
The most shocking news was that Death Goddess was Skysword's daughter. It was difficult to believe, but Death Goddess had said it herself. It was rather surprising.
And as they were all shocked, many were also angry. A storm was brewing.
Han Sen knew things wouldn't be resolved quickly if he was willing to let the creatures and spirits he had collected go.
And of course, Han Sen was not going to do that. So, when he returned, he prepared for a fight.
Before, Han Sen might have been scared at the prospect of taking on the whole sanctuary. After all, it was hard to fight with fists. No matter how strong he was, people would be affected.
But with Ancient Sky Mirror, things were now very different. Han Sen did not have to be afraid.


In the magnificent interstellar era, mankind has finally developed teleport technology, but when trying to teleport, they are not sent to the future, the past, or any land known to men...

This mysterious space is called God’s Sanctuary, where lived numerous unknown creatures. Here, humans will make the greatest leap in their evolution to create the most glorious epoch in history.

"Sacred-blood creature black beetle killed. Beast soul of sacred-blood black beetle gained. Eat the meat of sacred-blood black beetle to gain 0 to 10 geno points randomly."

In the beginning of the battle between Azief and the Demon King, there was someone that would probably be remembered for his contribution to humanity when the battle ended.
That person is Lee Sangmin the Arrayist Sage. 
No one could possibly have though, that someone who is known to maintain a low profile all of these years had somehow managed to do such a big move.
And his deed?
The mass teleportation of humanity, saving countless lives in the process. 
The Mirror Dimension is the place where puts these people. 
Of course this is a stopgap measure. This mirror dimension could not be sustained forever. 
As for the duration of the Time Limit, even the creator itself, Lee Sangmin don't know. Because he had made it using the characters and these character is extracted from the wishes of the people.
It depends on the will of the people in the mirror dimension and their will. 
It is fueled by their desires, wishes and their hope.
All seems good but the Wheel that Azief had summon had a profound impact on the Mirror Dimension.
It seems to bypass those restriction of the spell and the concepts that is embedded in that mirror dimension.
The Mirror Dimensions that Sangmin had created is also affected by the reality breaking pressure of the Wheel
Even Lee Sangmin himself did not expect such situations.
And Lee Sangmin who is now at some other places could still feel the change in the Mirror Dimension even though he himself was not inside the Mirror Dimension
'Something is happening' he muttered to himself as he is frowning. 
Whatever that is happening in the Mirror Dimension, Lee Sangmin is quite sure that it had something to do with that Wheel up in the sky.
He tries to access his power but he is still too weak right now after the successful creation of that dimension. 
The dimension that he had created is based on wishes. It is one of the most powerful thing to base a formation with but it is also highly unstable and at times hard to fathom
And with Lee Sangmin current condition, he could not make sense of what is happening in the Mirror Dimension accurately. 
He stands there on the grassy plains and began absorbing energy while Warp is standing beside him, also doing the same thing.
They were prepared to run and teleported away at any sign of danger.
They after all saw how destructive the power of the three titanic beings in the area which used to be the regions of the North American continent. 
Now who know what kind of region that is after the expansion of the world. the geography of the world had changed again 
Lee Sangmin worries about the Mirror Dimension is warranted
Because there is something wrong with the Mirror Dimension right now. 
The Mirror Dimension is slowly cracking at the edges of its reality lines.
The reality lines are the lines where the true reality and the mirror reality intersected. When these lines touch each other, then the Mirror Dimension would collapse.
Before Lee Sangmin created the Mirror Dimension, he also created a few laws that is embedded in the reality lines of the Mirror Dimension. 
These reality lines contain the Laws of the world inside The Mirror Dimension. One could say it is the code that maintain the stability of the Mirror Dimension.
That is why even though Lee Sangmin was the creator of the Mirror Dimension, even he was not able to enter his own Mirror Dimension, because one of the rules of the Mirror Dimension was that no one above Seed Formation could enter it. 
This is not because Lee Sangmin wanted to exclude saving more people. It is that the energy of Seed Formation leveler would cause the Mirror Dimension to overload.
If there is only one Seed Forming leveler or ten, it would not be such a big deal. 
But if there is one thousands of them or even ten thousand of them? Then the Mirror Dimension would be unstable and crack even faster.
Lee Sangmin ideas and the successful creation of this isolated but connected dimension had saved a lot of people. 
And those who were in the Mirror Dimension had seen the destruction that is being wrought by these three powerful beings. 
The could even see it more clearly than the people in the real world because in the Mirror Dimension, nothing would happen to them.
They could see it without being clouded by fear or the light works that happen when the three beings clashed with each other
They hardly even fight intensely, but the clashes had already created space rips, disasters, calamity all over the world
While they were in the Mirror Dimension, everything mirrored the real world except that none of the effect and disaster that happen in the real world affects them
They clearly saw that if not for Lee Sangmin and Warp cooperating with each other and teleported all those below Seed Formation, the collateral damage would be astronomical.
They are babies, old people, young kids and many more of such people that was spared of such collateral damage casualty because of Lee Sangmin effort.
The people inside the Mirror Dimension was perplexed, puzzled and some of them even panicked at first when they discover that they are inside a mirror reflection of their world.
But then when they saw the destruction that could be inflicted by Death Monarch just by a punch of his and the kind of damage that the Demon King could do just by moving his feet in the seabed, they sincerely pray to whatever Gods there is up there in the Heavens, that the Mirror Dimension would hold and would not break
When they saw the sky inside the Mirror Dimension cracks, they saw light. But the people inside the Mirror Dimension did not feel good seeing the light
Usually light would be associated with happiness, when the people inside the Mirror Dimension saw light from the cracks, they fear and they trembled in the anticipation of a disaster. The crack grows wider in the sky and they become even more afraid.
This is because while the Mirror Dimension is a mirror reflection of the world there is a bit of difference. And that difference is that in the Mirror Dimension, everything is gray colored.
Like they are stepping into a world of black and white.
But suddenly there is golden light entering form the cracks of the world in the Mirror Dimension
How could they not get freaked out?
 They knew that the Mirror Dimension is cracking because of that Wheel.
Even though they could not feel the power of that Wheel, because they were separated into a different dimension, they could see the effect it had on the real world
The cracks that is happening all over the skies and heavens of the Mirror Dimension fills every single person inside it with nervousness
if it broke, then the most logical explanation of what would happen to the person inside the Mirror Dimension is that they would be expelled out from this Mirror Dimension.,
And when that happens, they would find no refuge in the real world.
Those three being did not even fight their hardest yet and they already created all kinds of apocalyptic phenomenon all over the world.
One could only imagine the kind of damage that they would unleash when they go all out against each other.
No matter how big the world had become after the Multiversal Convergence event, none of the people that have witnessed the powers of those three beings felt secure no matter how far they are from the center of battle.
And they are not the only one that is worrying.
All over the world, the great heroes and heroines of the world, once again saw that Wheel and each one of them have complicated feeling when they saw the titanic figure of Death Monarch shining his holy light all over the four direction of the world. 
People from Pandemonium instantly recognizes that Wheel since they have saw it before when Azief uses it against his fight with Sithulran.
Most civilians that is below Seed Forming and Disk Forming leveler has already been transported into the Mirror Dimension.
On the gathering ground of these heroes and heroines, they all look at the sky with a complicated expression
'Shit, how can we help him if this is the scale of the battle' Athena mutters and her words is heard by the other two generals
What she said is echoed silently in their thought. 
Sky splitting apart, and the entire earth seems to be in the verge of collapse, how could they shrimp fight when whales duke it out with each other?
>>>>>> 


In the aftermath of apocalyptic event, a man rises above the others to lead an era. 

With threat beyond the stars, as Supreme Beings of otherworldly star system watches over as Destiny and Fate work their way, an era of Gods descended upon Earth

And in his rise, lies a terrifying secret.  Read how he rises above it all, through all the complicated love life, his determination to push through his own fate and destiny and the Will that pushes him forward.

With all of this, could the Fate that was written be overturned? And will he truly rise to the top and survive?

A great battle for the fate of the Universe began.

This is the story of Lord Shadow.

All over Zhong Yue's body were at least 300 divine herbs. The young man ran as fast as he could, leaving behind afterimages as he passed by but the Heaven Court was not a place he could rampage at.
Along with the six Realm Lords, the few who sat beside Realm Monarch Bo Luo acted right away; they pursued, surrounded, blocked and intercepted Zhong Yue. Strong individuals were born into Bo Luo Six Paths World frequently with Realm Lords being the strongest amongst the celestial emperors while the few who sat beside Realm Monarch Bo Luo were all Creators!
Their total strength was so strong that they could even seize any celestial emperor if they wanted, let alone someone like Zhong Yue!
Even with just a move in their psyche, they could freeze Zhong Yue and with a move in their energy, they could move Zhong Yue a million miles away!
Whereas for Zhong Yue, these guys' powers were overwhelming and they were all immortal beings that were undefeatable.
And now, these guys acted against him because after seeing Realm Monarch Bo Luo being knocked flying away by Zhong Yue's attack, they thought Zhong Yue was a formidable foe at the same level as them. However, little did they know that this was purely the power of the mirror and had little to do with Zhong Yue's own strength.
Zhong Yue had merely supplied his psyche and the rest was up to Xin Huo, who used Zhong Yue's psyche to stimulate the power within Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror.
The Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror was just overly terrifying; back when the mirror spirit was still alive, Realm Monarch Bo Luo had not once, but more than many times had tried to make this item surrender. The result,s however, all ended in failure as he was defeated by the mirror spirit, thus, he eventually discarded the idea of making the mirror yield.
And now, Xin Huo was equivalent to the mirror spirit to the mirror except that he couldn't completely replace the mirror spirit. Hence, Zhong Yue's psyche was required in order for Xin Huo to be able to control the power within the mirror.
But then again, even the mirror spirit failed to unleash the full power of the mirror; she only managed to stimulate the power within the mirror, which was still enough to defeat Realm Monarch Bo Luo.
In order to unleash the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror's power, one would have to fully make this mirror yield and control the totem patterns and Dao of the Heavenly Monarch. Then the user would be able to deliver a power ten times or even hundreds of times stronger than normal!
However, the requirement to be able to pull this off was that the user must at least be on the Creator or Imperial Emperor level.
Celestial emperors and Creators were all incredibly fast and their reaction speed was astonishing; just as Zhong Yue sent Realm Monarch Bo Luo flying away and started running away, closing him to a very near distance away from the teleportal but suddenly, a relentless power dragged him backward and pulled him away from the teleportal.
It was a Creator who cut off Zhong Yue's path. With his overwhelming power, this Creator forcefully enlarged the dimension and created endless dimensions that blocked Zhong Yue's path which prevented Zhong Yue from reaching the teleportal.
Zhong Yue, on the other hand, raised the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror up over his head and pointed it towards the Creator without hesitation. As a huge light pillar swiped past the field, the dimensions created by the Creator exploded and everything returned to normal.
The light pillar however, did not stop and it continued flying forward right towards the Creator, who jumped to the side out of fright as he did not dare to risk his life to stop the light pillar and Zhong Yue ran past him just like that.
"Don't you dare move!"
Another Creator descended from the skies and raised his hands up. Before Zhong Yue knew it, he was already in the Creator's palm. Zhong Yue looked around and realized that hairy flesh pillars emerged all the way into the skies, lifting the skies up.
He turned around and observed the surroundings, seeing carvings all over these pillars as much as mountains. These carvings all over the pillars appeared as gigantic steep cliffs that blocked his path was actually the palm prints of the Creator.
Chu—
Another light pillar was launched from the mirror and this light pillar immediately ripped a hole in the Creator's palm.
But the other palm of his was already raised up high as he was going to kill Zhong Yue like a fly. As he slammed his other palm downwards, Zhong Yue turned the mirror upwards and launched another light pillar that plunged through the other palm again, creating a hole large enough for him to slip through and avoid being crushed.
The Creator groaned from the intense pain and Zhong Yue jumped down from the huge palm before he rushed towards the portal again.
Meanwhile, another two arms grew out below his armpits and grabbed the divine herbs hanging on his body into his mouth to replenish as much energy as possible.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a huge foot stomped the ground in front of him and countless mountains emerged from that ground. With just a stomp, this Creator actually created 100,000 mountains around him.
The 100,000 mountains cloaked in celestial ray stood highly on the ground and the Creator laughed and looked at Zhong Yue who was running away as he said, "Little brat, resistance is futile…."
Zhe—
A bright light shone onto the 100,000 mountains along with their creator, causing them to shrink in terrifying speed and as the light bent, it wrapped around the Creator and mountains before it flew back into the mirror.
Shua—
Another light shot out from the mirror and swiped across the skies, shrouding onto the heaven soldiers and generals, which then shrunk them massively and hurled them back into the mirror.
Before the soldiers and generals knew it, they had already been tossed into a long hallway and they were all stunned as they looked at each other with an empty mind.
Meanwhile, outside of the mirror, the Creator put on a terrified expression and he channeled all of his power to resist the mirror's power to prevent himself from being sucked into Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror.
Fortunately for him, his strength was more than just powerful; though the mirror's light was still pulling him into the mirror, the mirror's strength had been drastically reduced by the Creator's power.
However, before the Creator could even let out a breath of relief, the light pillar vanished without a sign before a tremendous divine ray came charging out of the mirror.
"Not good!"
The Creator shouted and in the next second, he was struck by this divine ray, which shattered his clothes, and ripped his flesh apart. He was sent flying away from the Heaven Court to somewhere far far away.
As for Zhong Yue, he felt completely exhausted after the divine ray was launched, hence, he quickly tossed a couple of divine herbs into his mouth. Though these herbs possessed the ability to replenish energy, they too had some other functions such as speeding up cultivation progress but Zhong Yue had no time to spare on cultivation.
As soon as he consumed the herbs, the excess energy from the herbs leaked out from his body, forming condensed vapor around him and creating colorful clouds all over his head.
Within Zhong Yue's body, the massive medicine energy made his body swell, turning him into a big fatty but he was still moving agilely.
The six Realm Lords, on the other hand, were slower than the Creators by a level, hence, they all witnessed everything from the time Creators started to intercept Zhong Yue to the where they ended up being defeated. They were all shocked, and as soon as they stopped, the Heaven Realm's Realm Lord hurled a skill from far away towards the teleportal Zhong Yue was heading towards, reducing it to dust.
"Damn you!"
Zhong Yue was startled and at the same time, incensed. He directed the mirror right at the Heaven Realm's Realm Lord, terrifying the latter as they jumped to the side before fled.
Zhong Yue then started turning the mirror and just as the mirror was facing them, the Realm Lords didn't dare to linger around anymore as they all fled. These Realm Lords were also quite smart in a way; they rushed towards each corner within Heaven Court, searched for the teleportals and destroyed them all to prevent Zhong Yue from escaping.
This was all because as long as Zhong Yue's path was cut off, they would eventually be able to capture him due to his limited supply of herbs.
An uneasy feeling consumed Zhong Yue right away and suddenly, a voice transmitted right into his mind, "Don't move…."
Zhong Yue's heart skipped a beat and he quickly stopped moving around and this was the time when he saw a stream of raging smoke slithering outside of Heaven Court. This raging smoke did not take long until it breached through the Heaven Court's barrier and sent the soldiers garrisoned all over the Heaven Court flying away.
This smoke slithered in the air for a few seconds before it slammed downwards, overwhelming Zhong Yue and started flying out out the Heaven Court with Zhong Yue in it.
"How dare you!"
Then came the angry shout from Realm Monarch Bo Luo, "Take them down at any cost!"
For Realm Monarch Bo Luo, he was caught off guard and sent flying away by the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror but he sustained little injuries. However, just when he was about to return, he was intercepted by seven weirdly dressed individuals.
These men were donned in long robes and their hands and legs were hidden in their sleeves while they were all masked.
Their strengths were surprisingly ridiculously strong; as they surrounded Realm Monarch Bo Luo, the strongest Realm Monarch acknowledged by everyone, found it difficult to unshackle himself from these formidable foes.
Who are they?
Thought the startled Realm Monarch Bo Luo, Why are they so strong? Since when there are so many hidden strong individuals? Could they be one of the Fuxi Celestial Race? No, no, no. It can't be them. All living beings are registered within Hell and their information are recorded within the Book of Life and Death so it can't possibly be the Fuxis. They must be some known figures within 3,000 Sxi Path Worlds and they covered themselves to prevent from being identified by me!
At the same time, the spiraling dark smoke was cut off by two Creators and it was separated into two streams of smoke.
With a simple swing, a Creator formed a menacing lighting river in the air and blocked Zhong Yue's path.
The river expanded and widened with each second and slowly, stars formed by thunder and lighting emerged within the river, pulling and widening the dimension.
"You! Traitor of the Leizhe Celestial Race!" shouted an angry voice from the outer heaven.
"Watch your mouth! Who are you referring to as a traitor?"
This Creator was from the Leizhe Celestial Race in this life and he sneered, "I've never been one of yours! I merely used your race in order to obtain the body desired by many! If you're that great, then show yourself and let me take a look at your true face!"
As soon as he spoke of this, he saw Zhong Yue pointing the mirror right at him and he quickly fled away in fear.
Though the mirror's strength was unreasonably strong, Zhong Yue who was using this mirror was too weak to unleash its full strength, hence, allowing the target to escape effortlessly.
My weakness in handling this mirror has been discovered….
Zhong Yue's heart sank to the bottom while he controlled the mirror to launch another light pillar that pierced through the river. In a blink of an eye, the countless thunderous stars shattered and the two streams of smoke merged together again before it carried Zhong Yue away.
Within the dark smoke, Zhong Yue raised the mirror up high, launched one after another light pillars that fended off the Creators that tried to stop him.
"The drums!" shouted Earth Realm's Realm Lord.
The countless heaven soldiers started banging on the drums loudly; each time they hit the drums with their drum stick, the drums will emit a shockwave that blasted towards the smoke.
"Not these drums! Let me do it!"
The Realm Lord let out a battle cry and he flexed his muscles, which tore his clothes and he descended onto the South Heaven Gate in Heaven Court where a gigantic drum was positioned on the platform. Besides this massive drum, there were two unreasonably huge drum sticks that looked more like a club and these drum sticks were something not even the Celestial Overlords could lift,
The Earth Realm's Realm Lord picked up the drum sticks, slammed them onto the drum and never-ending shockwaves started blasting onto the smoke with great power that could disperse the smoke anytime.
Zhong Yue's heart sank even deeper into the bottom upon seeing this for while his mirror was extraordinarily strong against other types of attack, it was useless against sound type attacks.
At this dire moment, a loud roar came from the outer heaven as a person hidden within the void pounded his chest, which created even stronger drum beatings towards the Realm Lord's attack.
The second when the two drum beatings clashed, the drum beatings from the outer heaven completely overwhelmed the Realm Lord's.
And under the immense pressure, the massive drum outside Southern Heaven Gate shattered along with the Realm Lord's body, leaving his head running away with his tail between his legs.
At the same time, Celestial Realm's Realm Lord charged right into the golden palace, grabbed a divine bow hanging on the wall within the main hall and charged right back out. He drew the bow and started continuously shooting arrows that formed a line in the air towards the smoke in an attempt to shoot Zhong Yue down!
"There is no hate and vengeance between the both of you, why the cruel attack and killing intent?"
A voice sounded from the outer heaven before a few light arrows rained down from the outer heaven.
The arrows clashed together and the Celestial Realm's Realm Lord was knocked all the way back into the golden palace with rapid heartbeat.
"Creators! These enemies are all Creators!"
The Myriad Realm, Elemental Realm and Prison Realm's Realm Lord all took actions but without a doubt, they were all defeated effortlessly by those hidden in the outer heaven and finally, Zhong Yue was rescued from the dire situation.
With no options left, the Realm Lords could only look at the smoke and Zhong Yue disappeared right before their eyes.

Synopsis
In the world birthed by Pangu, the Three Sovereigns lit the spark of humanity that the Five Emperors would later fan into a blazing fire, eternally branding humanity as the leaders of the world….
This was a time where twilight had descended on the reign of the Human Sovereign and the Five Emperors had yet to emerge – humanity was merely one of the myriad races wandering about the vast cosmos.
This was a desolate and barren era. The monsters, devils, heavenly gods, and deities of all races stood aloft; with the demons, heavenly souls, and spirits dancing freely around the world.
The humans were still a feeble and burgeoning race at the mercy of the pantheon of races that ruled the world together from within the great wilderness.
This was not the era of the Foreworld, but the barbaric and untamed era of uncivilization!
Let us rewind back to China’s ancient and classical mythology and recount the legendary tale of how a single figure led humanity out of an epoch of darkness and into a new dawn.
“Why do I seem like a monster? It’s not that my heart longs for blood, but the indifferent reality, and the harsh truth ... that drives me to kill.”
— Zhong Yue

Things You Should Know
Honestly, judging from the title itself, one’s initial impression would be that the story is simply another boring and cliche cultivation novel. Or at least, that was what I thought at first when I was first introduced to this novel by a friend. But to my surprise, and most likely to yours, (if you read it, that is ...) you will soon come to realize that the plot gets very interesting, involving many characters from the ancient and primeval eras of Chinese mythology.
Every story has their own charms, and every character has their own tale to tell. And this, is the tale of a young man fighting not for himself, but for the betterment of humanity. The plot starts to get really good at around chapter 50-ish, and that’s when the roller coaster starts to rise higher and higher to never come down again (literally, it ended in a climax).

'This one is a 4 star game. Can we go play easier games of 3 stars or less?'
Feather's lost her normal voice. She sounds low, soft, and powerless, but she looks braver and firmer than she did at the beginning.
'The difficulty of games is irreversible. It would be always from easy to difficult no matter how many stars it has. Your next game is always harder than the previous game.'
'If we pick a low star game right now, it will not be easier than a high star game.'
'For example, if we picked the doll catcher machine, the king spider would have come out. Do you get it?'
Ro doesn't feel well about his throat either. He sounds low as well, and gentle.
'Sir, where shall we go then?'
'We have many 5 star games to be picked such as Adventure in the Corpse City, Mirror Maze, Desert Tomb, and Survival Island. Which one do you want?'
'What do you recommend for me to play?'
'In Adventure in the Corpse City, you need to find all the parts of the same person. If you don't have much knowledge about the human body, I don't suggest you to play this.'
'In Mirror Maze, you find the ghost mirror.'
'In Desert Tomb, you need to survive for 3 days.'
'In Survival Island, you need to kill six types of exotic animals or plants.'
'We don't have much time left.'
The sky is turning grey.
The Abyss Amusement Park has daytime as well. When daytime comes, everything will stop running and the living people here will be locked here forever.
Some people didn't manage to get out fast enough and couldn't leave. They had good survival abilities and could bribe the ghosts to get some food and water for them. They lived well here but they had a shorter lifespan.
Feather has parents and her own life. She cannot stay here.
'We will go to Mirror Maze.'
Feather speaks and finds Ro is amazed.
'I trust Mr. Clown.'
Ro gives her a smile in return.
They walk backward and stand in front of the Mirror Maze again.
They see a wall of black stones and there are some broken mirror pieces together forming the letters of Mirror Maze. It must be old, some mirrors are missing.
By looking outside into the door, there is nothing but darkness.
No wind. It is like a giant eye quietly peering at them.
'Sir, can you hold my hand?'
'No.'
Feather is a little scared to get lost in such a dark place.
Ro ties together the red threads on his hand and her hand.
Within a certain range, the thread is able to stretch and connect them.
Feather holds the red thread and follows after Ro.
Sound is forbidden here. Even if she talks, there will be no voice coming from her. Footsteps cannot be heard either.
She doesn't dare to let go of the red thread even though the thread will not fall from her wrist.
She is willing to hold Mr. Clown's limbs even if his body is cold. She misses his legs.
Yet, in a silent atmosphere like this, she hesitates to touch his hand and doesn't do anything except walking and holding the red thread.
Ro is not trying to avoid her, but he knows that everything in the Mirror Maze might be fake. Senses can be fooled as well.
If Feather thinks she is holding his hand, she could have loosened her hand unconsciously and goes on holding hands of other ghosts here, being caught into a deeper illusion.
This place does have some lights. There is a candle every once a while on the wall. Every candle is burning on its end. The guttering of the candles twists into human face features.
Ro has nothing in his mind, not even himself.
Maybe he has too much going on that the mirrors are unable to show them.
In Feather's eyes, every mirror here shows her and Mr. Clown. The reflections move as they move as if they are all normal mirrors.
The lights are dim. The mirrors reflect and amplify these dim lights so that she can see herself clearly in the mirrors.
She sees herself looking pale, and the cherry juice on her dress has dried. It looks like solidified blood stains.
The mirrors don't have her lower body. The candles aren't enough to light her all. Her lower body is in darkness and the path is not clear either.
The red thread is still there. Feather is not too flustered.
A cold wind comes from nowhere and she rubs her arms. While she is not paying attention, she stumbles on an unknown thing on the ground.
She screams and falls heavily on the ground.
As a result of the feature here, there is no sound being heard as if there was a giant monster that eats away all the sound.
It hurts. It probably broke her knee skin.
What scares her most is not the dimmer lights but the missing Mr. Clown.
Both paths ahead and behind have disappeared.
'Sir!'
Her voice is not heard by anyone including herself.
The red thread is still here, stretching to a dark void. She traces the red thread and touches a mirror in the darkness.
The red thread goes into the mirror.
She sees herself in the mirror, touching the end of the red thread.
Is he in the mirror?
In Ro's eyes, Feather stumbles on her own foot and falls. Then she touches the air as if she was doing a dumb show.
She is lost in the Mirror Maze but she didn't know.
She knows a way to test if the mirror has a solid core by putting a finger on it. If the finger tip perfectly matches the reflected one, then this mirror is empty inside and if there is someone behind the mirror, he can see Feather.
If the finger tips don't match perfectly, then this mirror has a solid core and the person behind the mirror cannot see Feather.
Feather points toward the mirror at the red thread.
The Feather in the mirror also points her finger toward Feather.
The mirror is extremely cold. Feather looks up and sees the reflected self giving her a charming but strange smile.
Feather is scared and retreats until she reaches a mirror on her back. The mirror on her back is not that cold.
Now, every mirror has a scared Feather on it as if the smile was just an illusion.
They look all the same.
She didn't get to test the mirror and has to try it again.
She doesn't know which one has the ghost that she decides to use the dumb way to see if there is a difference between these mirrors.
She has tried all mirrors. Every mirror has a solid core. Every reflection has a distance between it and Feather.
Which one is the ghost mirror?
The mirrors are moving toward Feather as if the reflections are besieging her. Finally the mirrors form together seamlessly into a decagon.
No matter where she looks, her limbs will come into contact with a mirror.
Sometimes she touches a mirror carelessly and it feels like touching a corpse.
The ground is still in darkness and leaking some unknown liquid out. Feather looks down and squats to figure out what it is. The reflection in front of her doesn't look down. It looks at Feather with a bizarre smile.
In Ro's eyes, Feather is surrounded by ten medium size mirrors. Her facial expressions switch between scared and calm like a caged bird being alarmed by a sudden change in the surroundings.
It is not the right time yet. Ro sits down and watches Feather circling in the mirrors.
The ghost can change its mirror. If Ro breaks one mirror, Feather will die.
They need to wait until the ghost is relaxed so that they can find it and break it.
In this game, Ro cannot help her as much. She needs to figure it out by herself.
It is normal for an ordinary teenage girl to be fooled by the mirror ghost. She just needs to wait until the ghost is overconfident.
He cannot tell this to Feather because the mirror ghost will know it easily from her.
Wind blows her ears from behind. She turns around and sees the reflection smiling at her vividly and blowing air at her. She looks like a normal girl.
Is this mirror the right one to break?
Feather doesn't dare to act.
Other mirrors are weird as well. She cannot decide which one to break.
'Why don't you act?' She looks at her reflection and figures out the lip language.
Suddenly, all the reflections paste to the mirror and their facial features are pressed and deformed. They all speak at Feather, 'Why don't you act!'
Feather is mad at them and the voices go into her head directly. She has a headache and wants to smash her own head on the ground.
Yet, she doesn't dare to break the mirrors.
A reflection's face skin is peeled off slowly. Another reflection's eyeballs are dug out. Her face looks miserable and twisted while the lip language is saying, 'Help me.'
Other mirrors are similar. There are sawed reflection, boiled reflection, chewed reflection, dismembered reflection... They are Feather's reflection dying in the mirrors.
If they were like a real horror movie, Feather could force herself and just endure watching it. However, the feelings of being killed also come to Feather. A synchronization of pain.
In a silent maze, Feather hears the sound of a chainsaw. From where the sound comes, she feels that part of her body is sawed, including her bones.
Skin peeling, chewing, boiling...
She treats this as a visual reality of 100% pain game and endures it.
If this was real, Mr. Clown would have saved me.
He didn't show up, so all these are unreal.
Feather thinks to comfort herself.
A cold hand raises her head. Someone blows at her ears.
'Girl, you are tough.'
Someone's soft long hair falls on Feather's neck. It has a mournful fragrance.
Feather is not horrified now. She looks back but sees nothing but her corpses in the mirrors.
'Who are you?' Feather hears her own voice resonating.
Quiet.
A puff of grey smoke comes from nowhere and covers the mirrors as if the corpses have grown white hairs.
Feather hypnotizes herself that these are all movie props.
Mr. Clown's words are always correct.
She will find the real ghost mirror.

Ro Ginger's quest to bring a girl out of the Abyss Amusement Park.
This is a short novel and will end within 20 chapters.
Update daily unless I ask for a leave.
Also posted on RRL but slower there.

Duke Gale had a sunny smile plastered on his face as he worked on the piles of papers on his desk. Yes, piles, just around 5 piles of papers the height of an adult's torso just laying on the surface of his antique desk. 

But, a few days ago, these piles were tall mountains that towered over the man and it made Duke Gale cry a little in the inside every time he saw them. He never saw these mini-mountains of papers decrease, he had only seen them increase ever so steadily. If the papers were to increase any more than what he can already barely handle, then his workspace may just become a paper world, populated by one person, namely him.

He despaired day after day as nobles with difficult work would come over to give it to him as his working speed is the fastest. 

But! Writing and thinking and reading takes a long time! He isn't invincible! Nelumbo has a long history and quite a large country. But in recent years, they have been suppressed by multiple countries trying to vie for their resources and land. This is due to the fact that the current ruler of Nelumbo,  King Luken, is a relatively new king, his reign being a measly two years and himself being currently twenty-two years old. This made the surrounding countries look down on Nelumbo.

Of course, King Luken has managed to repel the external forces, but he had more internal problems that were more complicated, from the unrest of the masses to various foreign forces attacking from the inside. It was becoming a hot mess from the inside of the country! And what does a hot mess equate to? Papers. The problems translated into pieces of papers that continuously add up and that the subordinates under the King must fix.

Because of the situation, Duke Gale was flooded with work to ease the problems off the other ministers and officials. And that meant putting the problems on himself. He was exhausted and became snarky and sarcastic due to the huge amount of paperwork he sees every time he walks into the accursed office.

How! Ev! Er! As mentioned, the problems and papers have decreased! Why? Because of the magic wooden mirror. 

While Duke Gale was sulking in his workspace after King Luken denied him to the convenience of a mirror that can answer probably all his questions and may help with his workload, the King himself elegantly barged in with a cold atmosphere. And accused him, his loyal friend, of bad-mouthing him! He was not wrong as he was silently cursing him, but it hurt in the inside!

So he righteously outright complained about the problems that were difficult to solve and said that the King should lend him the mirror to help stabilize the internal problems of the country.

King Luken, seeing the amount of work that had to be done, actually had a twinge, just a twinge, of guilt and handed the mirror over, with the conditions that he would not start showing it off as to avoid resentment from coworkers that would love to lower their workload. Plus, the King was curious at the extent of the mirror's knowledge. Unfortunately, Luken had to leave and attend his own diplomatic duties. Gale had graciously promised the King that he would test the mirror and inform the King of the results at a later date.

The moment Luken gave the other the wooden handheld mirror, Gale carefully held it and bid his friend an enthusiastic farewell. When he left, Gale immediately took the mirror towards the mountains of papers on top of his desk. 

Out of curiosity, he wanted to ask the mirror a few menial questions.

"Do you know my name?"

"Yes." The mirror responded in the same refreshing, monotone voice, which was followed by a period of silence between the both of them.

'The voice is quite nice, but the answer is so shallow. Does it only answer the bare minimum of the question, unless another asks for it to elaborate the answer? What are the conditions to make it fully answer a query?' The Duke felt his stomach burn up with determination. 

'Whatever it'll take! I'll do it to reduce my work!'

"Can you elaborate on the answer?" 

"I know that your name is Gale Beaumont, Gale being deprived from the Beaumont's heritable trait of impressive wind abilities." The mirror rambled on with a patient voice as if gently informing the Duke of common knowledge.

'Why does it feel like the mirror is trying to educate me?' Gale seriously pondered, but quickly shooed the thought away as being a part of his recent exhaustion.

"Can you, from now on, elaborate all your answers?"

At this minute, the mirror paused in contemplating its answer, as if it was difficult. The blond-haired man crinkled his eyebrows when noticing the stop in words. Thinking that there might be a problem with this mirror, Gale was about to lose hope in ever finishing his work. Before he could set the wooden mirror down, the tool spoke.

"Yes, from here on out, I will elaborate all my answers and not answer with single words."

Gale had an incredulous look on his face. 

'The mirror had contemplated on how to elaborate a simple answer. Isn't this mirror a little too thoughtful in its answers? A bit scary, mostly funny though.'

The Duke shook the thoughts out of his head and sighed in relief at the mirror's answer. He excitedly dug through the papers to start off with easy questions and then descending into the hell of hard questions. 

"A river that runs through a decently populated town had started to thin out, it isn't dangerously low, but in the near future, it may disappear and negatively impact the town. Why is the river like this?"

"A river that thins out is most likely due to either a problem upstream with something blocking the water source. Or there are no trees around the bank to stabilize the water flow. Without the greenery, the river banks erode quickly and allow the water to flow unnaturally fast and lose water."

"How do I punish a corrupt noble that is liked by the people without angering the masses?"

"A private trial among the upper class, and send him somewhere to "retire" for all his hard work, without the public being needlessly angry."

"Crops have been growing slower than usual..."

"Add leaf mold, manure or bits of fish into the soil of the crops to promote growth..."

"Radicals have been causing trouble..."

"Put them in trial for disturbing the peace..."

Duke Gale had asked a lot of queries and no matter the difficulty, all of them were fully answered.

He looked at the mirror with worship and personally placed the mirror on a pillow with a few books for it to lean on. The wooden mirror was currently basking in the sunlight, while the blond-haired man continued leisurely do his work. Although the mirror was inanimate, Duke Gale felt it appropriate to give it a break after a few days of his speedy questioning. 

Looking at the drastically decreased paperwork, the Duke wiped a few invisible tears away from his cheeks and felt really touched from the bottom of his heart.

'I should really tell Luken the capabilities of the mirror. Maybe he would let me work with the mirror from now on!'

At the moment, he was trying to figure out how to negotiate with the king about himself working with the wooden mirror. 

Then, Duke Gale slightly frowned in realization. As he thought that it was a little unsuitable to keep calling something he respected just "mirror" all the time.

With a few "hmms" and "haws," Gale suddenly snaps his finger and quickly turns to the mirror.

"Do you want to be called 'Little Ancestor'? It's domineering and powerful, how about it?" He really did feel that the name wait suitable for the wooden mirror. He also thought it'd be funny if even the king had to call the small mirror "Little Ancestor". 

But the mirror's same dull, but slightly urgent tone voiced out, "I don't want to be called that."

Thus, dashing all the funny fantasies that Gale had in his head of all the nobles calling a mirror "Little Ancestor." 

"Then what do you want to be called?" Gale graciously decided to let the mirror choose it's own name. 

The mirror paused for a moment when being asked that question, but answered with a twinge of happiness, the voice being more clear and firm than it was answering Gale's previous questions. 

"My name is Rowan." The mirror, or Rowan, stated out loud to Gale.

The Duke choked back a chuckle as he gazed funnily at the mirror.

'The mirror named itself after the tree it was made out of?' But, hearing the smidge of joy hidden within the monotone voice of the mirror, he simply smiled towards the mirror.

"Well then, hello Rowan. Welcome to the country of Nelumbo!"

Rowan was an intelligent advisor, having the answers to nearly every question, from how to prevent epidemics and to winning a war. He brought forth a decade of prosperity to country Olinthus. In fear of his intellect being utilized by other countries, the royals trapped him within a mirror. His imprisoned self could only answer questions of the beholder. The nobles were delighted to have him permanently tied down.

Until he was accidentally saved from the grasp of Olinthus. He meets a man whom he learns to communicate with despite Rowan's lack of ability to freely talk and the other's lack of interest in talking. From there, their tactic understanding starts to bloom and they help each other in dire times. Maybe even becoming love?
