Aliens descended down to earth on April 30th 2025 8:36pm. They appeared in Seattle Washington, it was a beautiful pink and red sunset as they were seen bursting through the pink clouds. Of course the government attacked first resulting in them starting a massacre earning them the name “pink devils”. That day was the first of a 10 year war. When the war first started the military was confident of winning, but they soon learned otherwise. The aliens had advanced weapons and technology. In the end humanity was fighting a loosing battle, the government decided that the best corse of action was to use multiple nukes. The pink devils were exterminated along with any soldiers still fighting.

That day everyone was celebrating their victory. Unknown by everyone though was that all the nukes had caused a fissure that went very deep into the earth. Apparently there were animals that hadn’t been discovered yet deep within the earth. They started to climb their way up, when they got to the surface the animals started to mutate from all the radiation. At first scientist were fascinated by them however the animals turned into monsters and started killing people. Fissures started breaking the group all over the world destroying major cities, monsters started to appear everywhere. 

Once again the government thought they could handle it. But they couldn’t have been more wrong. Forces across the world were overrun forcing governments to group up and make a city capable of housing billions of people. Everyone left alive soon moved there. Monsters now roam everywhere outside the city. Technology was forced to advance with all the Crisis going but it also had some help from the U.S. salvaging from the alien technology. The only safe place is the city now named heavens city as its currently the only paradise left in the world.

Cody (placeholder) was one of the first soldiers to fight against the aliens and monsters. Unfortunately he was honorably discharged as he suffered from PTSD from watching his friends and family being killed by the aliens. He started to make poor decisions in the field and refused to get therapy. Even though he would have gotten dishonorably discharged if his brothers(close friends in the military) hadn’t vouched for him. He still took it poorly and started gambling and drinking alcohol. He ended up loosening most of his money. He was being beaten by loan sharks unable to fight back as he was drunk, one of his ribs broke and punctured his lung. As he was looking at the sky slowing dying he started thinking about his family. Just as be was about to die a notification appeared in front of him.

{Greetings user, you have attained the despair system}

The age of darkness has arrived. 
When the rift to an unknown plane suddenly appeared on Earth, monsters invaded, beasts mutated while humans, the once-dominant species fell to the bottom of the food chain. 
A hundred years later, three of the greatest classes evolve amongst humans: ability users, ancient warriors, and gunslingers. 
Qin Feng, an orphan of this dark age was tormented just as he awakened his pinnacle level of special ability, barely surviving for ten years in the post-apocalyptic world. 
Hence, he was reborn...


As long as no one opens the door from the outside, Ren Yuan Qizhang can't escape this dungeon no matter how much he tossed.
    Jiang Zhentao returned to the office, feeling increasingly uneasy, making him unintentional to work.
    "Little Liu." Jiang Zhentao called.
    After a while, Jiang Zhentao's police officer walked in quickly, and immediately responded, "Marshal."
    "You ask the army to strengthen patrols and guards, and kill the zombies as soon as they are found." Jiang Zhentao ordered again.
    "Yes!" Xiao Liu took the order and immediately passed the order on.
    Because of the Yuan Qizhang incident, Jiang Zhentao has been uneasy. The military generals quickly learned about the incident and had different opinions on whether to deal with Yuan Qizhang.
    "Since he has changed his corpse, why didn't he shoot him directly?" An admiral really couldn't understand Jiang Zhentao's actions. Didn't he even order that he should be resolved immediately if he encounters zombies? Why did he come here in Yuan Qizhang? Don't do it?
    What's more, Yuan Qizhang is now more terrifying than ordinary zombies. Once he finds a chance to escape, it will definitely cause irreparable losses.
    "Yuan Qizhang is the person who knows the power uplifting liquid best at the moment. If the data is destroyed as he said, then the person who knows the content of the data is most likely to be him, so it is not possible to let him He is dead." Another admiral said.
    "But Yuan Qizhang is a time bomb after all. As long as he does not die, he will always be in danger, and even if he knows the information, he will definitely not tell him. Saying it's all useless, isn't it going to be deadlocked all the time? It's better to kill him directly.
 

    "The data has been destroyed. We can go to the researchers who have studied the power enhancement liquid. They must also know the power enhancement liquid very well. Wouldn't it be better to get the information from them than from Yuan Qizhang's mouth? Easy?" someone suggested.
    Both parties have a certain point of truth, and they kept arguing. The two marshals Jiang Zhentao and Tang Qixu heard them with big heads, and their brows were not even stretched out.
    At this time, Yuan Qizhang's confidant did suddenly receive a text message from Yuan Qizhang. He quickly browsed the text message _ times, and after writing down the content, he immediately deleted the text message.
    Except for Yuan Qizhang, only the confidant knew where those people were from the group of researchers who studied the power-up liquid.
    Yuan Qizhang wanted those people to research the antidote that can dispel the power boosting liquid, but he didn't expect that the antidote had not been researched out, so he was arrested, and then the corpse was changed, but fortunately he still had thoughts. With memory, besides the increase in the force value and the red eyes, it was actually not much different from when it was a human, and even better than when it was a human.
    Therefore, Yuan Qizhang doesn't want any antidote. On the contrary, he hopes that all human beings will become zombies, the Federation will become a kingdom of zombies, and then they will embezzle Mei Empire and Ou Empire and complete his own dominance of the universe. The hegemony.
    Therefore, for the first time, he asked his confidant to destroy all the information about the power booster.
    And secretly dispose of those researchers, and finally post the zombie matter to the star network
    The confidant was drawn and trained by Yuan Qizhang, and he was very loyal to him. Even if Yuan Qizhang is now down, he still works loyally for him and strictly follows his requirements.
    In fact, the researchers who studied the power booster were also secretly cultivated by Yuan Qizhang. When the power booster was tested and effective and publicly disclosed, the researchers who participated in the research and development of the power booster were not real. The researcher who developed the power booster.
 

    On the contrary, those researchers who actually developed the power-up liquid were inconvenient to expose to the public, so the results were replaced by other researchers.
    In this regard, these people who have really developed the power enhancement fluid actually have complaints against Yuan Qizhang, but they have to rely on Yuan Qizhang's support, and they have been burying resentment in their hearts.
    When Yuan Qizhang fell and was arrested this time, these researchers actually had a bad breath, so they were very uncooperative when their confidants asked them to study antidote.
    "The president should have been arrested long ago. He did those nasty things in private and took the credit for us. I have never seen such a president." A researcher said dissatisfied.
    "That is, if he hadn't caught us and erased our names back then, so that we wouldn't be able to live upright in the future, we must also be beloved scientists now." Another researcher also said resentfully. .
    In fact, these researchers were national researchers or local researchers at the beginning, but Yuan Qizhang arrested these people for his own selfishness, and forged the illusion that these people were dead, making these people completely become He only worked for him.
    Because of the forces of Yuan Qi Zhang, everyone did not dare to complain, and could only study the topics Yuan Qi Zhang wanted to study day after day.
    Fortunately, most researchers are obsessed with research and don't care about the environment and for whom they research, but there are also some people who desire fame and resent Yuan Qizhang for letting them lose their freedom.
    So after the fall of Yuan Qizhang, they felt that they finally breathed out a bad breath, and the wicked were rewarded.
    But they can only live underground, because their identities are gone, and in the eyes of the outside world, they are all "dead".
    When the confidant came to the institute again, those researchers didn't have a good face to him, they liked to answer, ignored him at all, and they would not know that after today, they are the real "
    "Dead people", they will never exist in this world, nor will they have a day of seeing the light again.
    After the confidant solved all the researchers, all the materials were destroyed as required, and finally the zombies were posted on the star network.
    It's not that the confidant didn't want to save the Yuan Qizhang in the past. Unfortunately, the military was heavily guarded. Even if he still had some forces in his hands, he couldn't fight against the people of the military, so he has not acted yet.
    After Yuan Qizhang was sent to the dungeon, Jiang Zhentao immediately sent someone to find the researchers who had "participated" in the research on the power upgrade fluid, and wanted to get some information about the power upgrade fluid from them.
 

    If those researchers really have these materials, or understand the power enhancement liquid, then Yuan Qizhang does not need to stay, and there is no need to leave any hidden dangers to human beings.
    It's just that Jiang Zhentao_ has a bad premonition. Based on his understanding of Yuan Qizhang, he always feels
    The so-called researchers who have participated in the research of the power booster may not be true.
    For no reason, he had such a premonition.
    And soon, his hunch was confirmed.
    The facts show that those researchers who have been made public and have received huge honors have never really participated in the research of the power booster, they were just pushed to the front by Yuan Qizhang to pretend to take these honors.
    As for why these people are allowed to pretend to be the leader, it can only show that the researchers who actually researched the power enhancement liquid could not formally appear in the public, so even such a large achievement and contribution can only be handed over.
 

    And what kind of researcher can't appear in front of the public, so what was the purpose of Yuan Qizhang asking people to study the power enhancement liquid? Or does he know that this kind of thing has side effects?
    These questions kept appearing in Jiang Zhentao's mind, and he was annoying, but he still didn't have any clues.
    However, just this bit of trouble does not seem to be enough. More things have appeared on the Star Network.
    Liu Xiaosong is a deep Internet addict. In addition to work, his favorite thing to do every day is to go to Star.com and browse various gossip topics.
    And the topic that has been hotly discussed recently is the various crimes committed by the former president. Every day, countless netizens flood into the government's official blog to make various criticisms, and then various strange things that the former president did. Those who have been persecuted by the former president's family, or who have been deprived of their interests, have also criticized and complained about Yuan Qizhang and the Yuan family on the Internet.
    Although Liu Xiaosong has read many posts about Yuan Qizhang's crimes and knows everything well, he still likes to review the comments below. Sometimes it's very interesting to see other people's comments. Things.
    On that day when he came home from work, Liu Xiaosong opened the star network of his personal terminal as usual and entered the forum he often browsed, preparing to read a few posts about the former president for dinner.
    However, when he entered the forum today, he saw that the hottest and hottest post on the top was not talking about Yuan Qizhang, but a new term appeared: zombie.
    Liu Xiaosong was a little curious, so he directly opened the post.
    Post topic: When zombies appear, mankind will usher in the end times again!
    Content: Are you curious about this topic? Does it feel like you don't understand? But it's actually very simple. Just as the theme says, mankind will usher in the end times again in the near future.
    How did we humans come to the galaxy we live in now? If you have the current life? Where did our ancestors live? I believe that every member of the Federation knows about these historical issues.
    Three thousand years ago, humans were still living on a planet called the earth. Later, because the earth ushered in the end of the world, mankind went all the way to the star field where they live now, far away from the earth, even now that many people are connected in order to find a way out. We don't know what the earth looks like, and we can't go back, because the disasters brought about by the end times make the earth unsuitable for human habitation.
    Today, three thousand years later, everyone probably doesn't know how the end of the world appeared. So let me tell you that the reason why the end of the world appeared is because of the emergence of _ kind of monsters that can't be killed—zombies. Zombies have no reason and no thoughts. , Some are just instinctive desire to eat, and their
    Food is living human beings.
    Zombies are transformed from humans, and once they are scratched or bitten by these zombies, the people who are scratched or bitten will also become zombies, and there is no cure for them. This is how the apocalypse of mankind gradually evolved. It came because the infection of zombie poison was too widespread and easy, and zombies were not easy to be killed, so that human beings gradually went to extinction.
    The zombies that have disappeared for three thousand years reappear, and mankind will usher in the end times. Three thousand years ago, the earth ushered in the end times, and mankind has come to the interstellar age. Then, three thousand years later, mankind will usher in the end times again. What should we do?
    Thousands of comments have been followed under this post, which obviously has appeared _ for a period of time and has been seen by many netizens, but few people really care about it. After all, posts like this every day There will always be so many, everyone is watching it as a joke.
    [Haha, mankind will usher in the end times? Does this poster think he is a prophet? You said that humans will appear in the end times, and there will be the end times. It's really a rumor that all depends on a mouth, and you don't need to be responsible. Oh, I really don't understand why such a post should be put on the top to add fire and refinement? ]
    [Zombie? Can eat people? Did the poster have hallucinations after watching too many movies? Such rumors can be created. I really convinced you^]

Description
Yu Jinli* was a koi fish who had cultivated for a thousand years.

He had taken the shape of a human being, and possesses the ability to predict fortune and change luck.

He was supposed to be a popular Mr. Lucky but who could have thought that…

“Sir, your forehead is covered by gloomy air. I’m afraid there is a looming threat of fatal disaster waiting for you…” Yu Jinli said with all seriousness.

All of a sudden, a big flower pot descended from above and hit that man directly on the head.

“Buddy, the top of your head is green. I’m afraid that…”

Before Yu Jinli finished, the young man opposite him received a call and headed to a hotel nearby to catch his girlfriend in the act of adultery.

“Brother, you…”

Everyone cried: Lord General, please take good care of your wife and don’t let him throw curses around… TAT

Yu Jinli felt frustrated: Obviously, I’m warning them with a good intention.

The nationally acknowledged most perfect man, the young general: Dear, don’t get upset because of those shortsighted people. Come home with me and I’ll make you chestnuts roasted with brown sugar.

Those “shortsighted” people: …

*Note: The two Chinese characters “Jin Li” in the name sounds similar to the two Chinese characters for koi fish. ‘Jinli’ is now a symbol of luck in internet slang.

I woke up / Frozen in times
My fear awake
Moments of life
Drained through steps
Walked in spoken forgotten miles
Miles away
This novelty of times.

I want to walk on these rivers
Of frozen stones
It seems I have been forgotten
On these novelties of written
Stories where i am a hex code
In memoirs of glass stories.

This novelty of times,
This novelty of times (x3),
In memoirs of glass stories,
it should end,
 On the miles of the road,
Of the Earth's end.

A other side of dreams and fears of mankind

Several minutes had passed.
The giant probably remembered something, and it was looking at Yang Dingtian in a somewhat troubled manner like it wasn't sure whether to kill him right away or to leave him be.
So it did recognize the ornament. That was for certain. The ornament probably served as some kind of command signal, but the giant wasn't sure what it was instructed to do. It wasn't even sure if Yang Dingtian had anything to do the Five Elements Hall, to begin with.
It probably wasn't intelligent enough to ask questions. After all, it was just a statue, a gatekeeper built by those in ancient times.
Yang Dingtian, on the other hand, was wandering around the edge of hell. If the stone giant, say, remembered something unpleasant now, Yang Dingtian would've been mashed instantly along with Dugu Fengwu.
"Whoo…"
As though having made up its mind, the giant decided to withdraw its hammer and went back to sleep, which signified that the two intruders were free to do as they pleased.
Yang Dingtian took a long sigh of relief. Without Dugu Fengwu noticing it, he quickly opened his storage ring and put the teardrop-shaped ornament back in.
Dugu Fengwu had her eyes closed this entire time. She was waiting for her eventual end, but since the hit never landed on her, she slowly opened her eyes and saw that the stone giant had returned to being a statue.
"Yang Dingtian, just who are you?" Dugu Fengwu stared blankly at Yang Dingtian, but Yang Dingtian didn't bother to answer back. He was just staring back at her in a very dulled manner.
"Stop asking that," Yang Dingtian spoke after a while, "It's either this or 'I'm going to kill you.' Is that the only two things you know how to say?"
"Honestly, I'm really not sure if I should kill you right here," Dugu Fengwu replied, but Yang Dingtian couldn't care less. It was scary the first time he heard it, but the words started to lose their meaning once they were repeated so many times.
"So do the five doors represent the five elements? Fire. Ice. Gold. Wind. Thunder. Is that it?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"Yes…" Dugu Fengwu said. Yang Dingtian could feel his heart beating really fast now. If what Dugu Fengwu said was true, then today was really his lucky day.
As far as Yang Dingtian could remember, the second stage of the Pig Slaying Sword Art, namely the Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Sword, needed a training ground which was composed of all five elements. In other words, the Five Elements Hall was basically a blessing to him, dedicated to helping him train to the next level.
"You were supposed to die from that fall, but you survived and found a secret realm," Dugu Fengwu exclaimed, "And you said you would become a Great Mystic Martial Master in three months, which is borderline impossible, but now you've found the Five Elements Hall. Are you really blessed by the Gods?"
Yang Dingtian replied, "Actually, I'm not the only here."
"So you're saying I'm here because of you," Dugu Fengwu sneered, "Well, before you get any more arrogant, how about you find an exit? Being a Great Mystic Martial Master is good and all, but it won't be much use if you're trapped here for the rest of your life."
"Yeah, okay. So which door do you think would lead us out of here?" Yang Dingtian asked. "You'd have to try to know," Dugu Fengwu answered, then turned to look at the five tall doors around them. Finally, after having made up her mind, Dugu Fengwu walked towards the golden door.
Yang Dingtian wasn't sure about it, but he decided to follow her. He wanted to explore this secret realm as well, but most importantly, he wanted to find a way out.
As Yang Dingtian stood in front of the giant golden door, he gently placed his hand onto it and, surprisingly, was able to push it open with very little strength.
There was a massive, massive room inside, and at the other end, there was a door that was smaller than the one here at the entrance.
"Wait…"
After just taking one step in, Yang Dingtian found his body to be drastically heavier than outside, so much so that he almost fell flat on the ground.
It wasn't certain how something like this could be done, but the gravity in this room was about three times the gravity on Earth.
There was no gravity back then, and now it was three times the normal gravity. And while it wasn't like Yang Dingtian couldn't move around, the youngling sword in his hand was really starting to become a burden.
Meanwhile, Dugu Fengwu didn't spend any second to care about Yang Dingtian. Three times the normal gravity was nothing to her, so even if there were about one hundred meters of distance to walk, it still didn't take much time for her to reach the door at the other end of the room.
Needless to say, this other door was the second door of the Five Elements Halls.
Compared to the last one, this door was not so easy to open, but Dugu Fengwu could still push it away with her mystic qi and made her way into the second room.
Once Yang Dingtian had entered too, he saw that this second room was smaller than the first one, at just about several tens of meters in both height and length. The door at the end was also smaller, and the route to walk there was shorter.

However, just as Yang Dingtian stepped in, the youngling sword in his hand almost crashed on the ground. It turned out that this room had three times more gravity than the last one, and Yang Dingtian's youngling sword went from 9 times its original 150 kg in mass.
While shielding his body with his mystic qi, Yang Dingtian followed Dugu Fengwu and continued his way forward. He was still managing onto himself, despite the drastic change in the difficulty of this trial.
Having walked through the second room, Dugu Fengwu reached the third door. And although she took some time to open this third door, it seemed like she wasn't at her limit yet.
Dang.
While having arrived in the third room, Yang Dingtian's youngling sword immediately slipped out of his hand. It was like the floor was made out of magnet or something, and there was just no way he could keep holding onto it.
Dugu Fengwu was slowing down as well. It was three times the normal gravity in the first room, nine times in the second, so it's twenty-seven times in the third room.
The staff Yang Dingtian was holding was about more than five tons right now. He couldn't even hold it in his hand, let alone taking a step more from where he was at with it.
Dugu Fengwu, on the other hand, was somehow still managing. The youngling sword she was holding was about 1 to 1.5 tons right now, and she was still walking forward.
Yang Dingtian leaned his body forward. He wanted to grab his youngling sword, but the damn heavy thing just wouldn't move.
"Agh!" Yang Dingtian screamed at the top of his lung. Using both of his arms, he was able to lift the youngling sword at about three cuns from the ground, but the thing still slipped out of his grip and made a loud noise as it fell.
Dugu Fengwu turned her head back, "You'll have to give up that youngling sword here if you want to leave this place. Five tons is too much for you."
"No way," Yang Dingtian stated. "Stay here, then. I'll search the path up head," Dugu Fengwu replied while moving forward with her sword in hand.
Funnily enough, Dugu Fengwu's breasts might be firm, but it was not as if they could withstand twenty-seven times the normal gravity, meaning that while she had to carry the youngling sword with one hand, she had to use her other hand to try lifting her cleavage from bottom up.
If Yang Dingtian weren't in his current condition, he would've burst out laughing the moment he saw Dugu Fengwu like this. However, with all this weight around him, he decided to stay where he was and watched as Dugu Fengwu kept leading ahead of him.
While Dugu Fengwu was finished with the third room, she focused her mystic qi and began pushing the fourth door. This time, however, she had to push the door very slowly instead of pushing it away like before. That being said, she eventually got herself into the fourth room.
The fourth room was even smaller, and it was only about thirty meters tall.
Miserably enough, there was still another door at the end of this room. It's like there really was no end to this whole trial.
Unlike previous times, though, the fourth door closed itself as soon as Dugu Fengwu went in, which meant that she and Yang Dingtian were completely separated now.
Yang Dingtian was left alone in the third room. He was standing next to his youngling sword, trying to pick it up with all the strength that he had. And just as he was able to lift it a bit, Yang Dingtian opened his storage ring and quickly put it in before it fell out of his grip again.
So, no problem with the youngling sword now. With that out of the way, Yang Dingtian started taking slow steps towards the end of this third room, which was twenty-seven times heavier than normal.
After two minutes, Yang Dingtian reached the end of the third door and was now in front of the fourth door.
"Agh…"
For a human, Yang Dingtian was already pretty overpowered. By pushing on this door, he could release about at least several tons of force from his body, but even that was nowhere near enough to make it flinch.
Seeing that he had no chance to enter the fourth room, Yang Dingtian gave up on trying to follow Dugu Fengwu. Instead, he decided to wait in front of the fourth door, while using his qi to resist the heavy weight around his body.
Five minutes had passed.
Ten minutes.
Thirty minutes.
An hour.
Dugu Fengwu was still not back yet. Yang Dingtian had no idea how many rooms she had gone into, and he didn't know how many rooms were there either. And most importantly, was there even an exit out of this place? What if Dugu Fengwu had already found one and abandoned Yang Dingtian?
"Screw that woman. I don't care if you leave me here. It's safer without you around me anyway," Yang Dingtian thought, then proceeded to return to the main hall of the Five Elements Hall.
Actually, even if he knew a way out, Yang Dingtian wasn't planning on leaving early anyway. Finding a secret realm was no easy task, to begin with, so he might as well make the most out of this opportunity.
*************************
Once Yang Dingtian had returned to the main hall, his body was feeling so light that he almost believed he could fly. So this was what it was like to go from high gravity to absolutely no gravity.
As he took a deep breath of the fresh, relaxing air around here, Yang Dingtian could sense a very vigorous source of mystic qi in this palace.
He could feel it with his soul. At the center of this hall, there was a very concentrated, pure mystic qi floating around!
It was just like that time back at the Terror Manor during the Yin Yang Festival. While the level of the qi was not as strong as back then, obviously, given that the Yin Yang Festival occurred once-every-three-hundred-year, the level of the qi's purity was almost identical.

And while still on the subject, the amount of mystic qi here was already more pure than most areas in this world. Most importantly, it's completely pure, which meant that whoever's surrounded by it could just absorb it without any filtering.
Come to think of it that this secret realm was just a massive formation of the five elements, those doors representing the different elements on each side. No wonder there was such a high concentration of mystic qi in the center.
Also, it would make sense that there was no gravity here. Since all the five elements were present, they would, essentially, cancel each other out, hence form a vacuum where only the purest essence remained.
If Yang Dingtian were looking for a spot to absorb the mystic qi here, then it would definitely have to be the center of this hall. That's where the qi was at its purest and thickest.
With that being said, Yang Dingtian sat down and began his meditation. He closed his eyes, channeled his qi around his body, opened the entrance to his meridian, and started chanting lines from the Pig Slaying Sword Art.
Yang Dingtian couldn't believe it.
He knew this place had a lot of mystic qi, but he didn't expect it to be hundreds of times purer than the outside world. There was just a limitless amount of energy, so eager to flood through his body the moment he opened up his meridian.
Better yet, there was no one he needed to share it with. It was all his to take. In other words, a meditation session here would be more fruitful than doing it outside for two to three months.


On the night of his 19th birthday, he decided to bid farewell to his virginity and had a taste of the forbidden fruit. As a result, his body spontaneously combusted and was burning in raging flames!
Afterward, he transmigrated.
He transmigrated to another world, a world where martial strength ruled supreme.
His originally disastrous physique of Nine Yang had become the rarely sought after once in a millennium, Nine Yang Mystic Meridians.
He rescued a mysterious old man and at life’s most crucial moment, the old man took him in as a disciple and betrothed his daughter to the young man.
As baffling as it could be, Yang Dingtian inherited the world’s No.1 sect and became the fiancé of the world’s No.1 beauty.

The first thing she saw were Momo and Aerie looking at her puzzledly.
"Well could you do it?" Aerie asked as Ro got up and walked back to her seat. 
"Yeah. Couldn't you?" Momo shook her head no.
"We did have it once, for like thirty seconds, but it was hard." Aerie retorted with vehemence. "What was it like? What did you see? Did you get it on the first try?" Ro blanched. 
"Um yes. I could just do it. I don't know. It was different all three times. And it feels weird to talk about it. So, don't ask me anymore questions, please." From the corner of her eye she saw Alexi look away. 
"But-" Aerie began. Professor Arzandia cut her off. 
"Something you'd like to add Aerie?" He asked sweetly. "No? Well we're moving on to Shadow magic now, so try to pay attention." Aerie sulked as he went on to say that they were repeating the practice of moving shadows across the room today and the class was to get up and stand at the end of the room like last time. The class complied. Ro found herself sandwiched between Momo and Aerie as practice began. Ro had no problem making her shadow move across the room. She had it run through other shadows on the floor to lengthen it. 
After about five minutes of this Alexi raised his hand. 
"Professor, I can do this already. Can I move on?" His tone was annoyed. Kyzul came over with his bright smile plastered on his face. 
"Show me." He ordered calmly. Alexi did. His shadow lengthened straight to the other end of the room. Kyzul nodded. "If you can do it four more times in a row, you will receive five points and can move on to the next activity. The same goes for everyone else. Once you can do it five times in a row, you will receive five points and can move on to the next activity." 
The class brightened as a whole. Professor Arzandia's class was for students who barely made the cut to get into the school. Based on the aptitude test, his students would have the hardest time receiving enough points to move up at the end of the year of all three first-year classes. The expectation was that half of the class would be dropped before the next year began.  
Alexi was a little different than the other poor performers in the class though. He had missed the entrance exams and his father pulled strings to get him into the school. He made certain everyone knew he didn't belong in this class. For him these simple exercises were child's play.
"Watch this." Alexi told Professor Arzandia as he gathered more shadow to him. When he collected a good-sized ball, he split it into four parts. From each one of these he sent a stream of shadow straight across the room. As the last one of the four crossed into the shadow marking the finish line, Alexi glanced at Ro. He wanted to make sure she saw that he could do this easily. He smirked at her and she looked away, remembering the tower. 
"A little flashy but it does meet the requirement." Kyzul waved his hand and Alexi's name and five tallies appeared on the board. "Anyone else?" Kyzul asked as a lit candle appeared on Alexi's desk. Kyzul looked directly at Ro, who was studying the floor. Aerie nudged her shoulder. Ro didn't respond. 
"Ro can do it too." Aerie stated volunteering her. 
"I can't do it like that." Ro hissed. Kyzul came over and stood beside and a little behind her. Ro felt her pulse quicken. She felt heat along the side of her body closest to him. The image of a half-naked Kyzul leaning over her popped into her head. "Who do you belong to?" his sultry voice repeated in her head. She jumped and tried to shy away. Kyzul put his hands on either side of her shoulders. 
"Relax." He ordered in a quiet voice. "Focus. You can do this." Oddly enough Ro felt her body relaxing under the firm pressure. She allowed herself to slip back into his hold a little more. He held on for another beat then gave her shoulders a final squeeze and let go. Taking a deep breath, Ro collected her shadow. She sent a piece out to the nearest shadow and then from that one to the next and so on until her zigzagging line of shadow reached the finish line. She smiled and repeated the movement four more times. 
"Very good." Kyzul said cheerfully. "Now, I'll give you the points like I said I would but before I let you move on, I want you to do it once in a straight line like Alexi did. Think about how he did it and repeat that." Her name and five tally marks appeared on the board below Alexi's as Kyzul moved away to explain Alexi's next task. 
"How did Alexi do it?" she mused. 
"He gathered a lot of shadow." Aerie offered.
"He was very judicious about the width of his shadow. It tapered off at the far end." Momo suggested softly. 
"I'll try that, thanks guys." Ro said with a smile. 
She concentrated and gathered a large amount of shadow to her. From that she pulled a thick piece and sent it streaming across the room. It only reached about half way. She relaxed and let the shadow pool at her feet again. 
The next time she pulled a much thinner piece and sent it across the room. It thinned near her feet as it stretched over the three-quarter mark. Then it snapped and broke. Both pieces fled back to her pool. This time she grabbed a slightly thicker piece and pushed it to the other side of the room rather than pulled. As it moved this time, she saw the shadow stretching from the pool at her feet in a tapered pattern, with the thin end farthest away from her. It slowed as it got to the end of the room, but it got there. A lit candle appeared on her desk. 
Aerie clapped her on the back.
"Nice one!" 
"Good job." Momo said quietly congratulating her too. Ro, smiling happily, pranced to her seat. 
 "Don't get cocky this is only beginner's stuff." Alexi said with a smile as his candle went out in a small explosion of light. 
Kyzul came over. His face held minor annoyance rather than his usual smile. "Are you done yet, Alexi?" 
Alexi's candle relit itself. Alexi looked at it and the light seemed to explode again leaving behind nothing but the acrid smell of smoke. 
"I am now." He said with a grin. Another five tallies appeared beside his name. The candle didn't relight. 
"Surround this in shadow. Do not hurt it. Five times." Kyzul ordered. He turned to Ro and her lit candle. "Extinguish this flame using shadow." He told her. "Think about the shadows of tiny things." He winked and walked off. 
Alexi finished his exercise quickly and proceeded through three more while Ro spent the rest of her time in class trying to perfect this one. She had figured out that Kyzul had meant the space between molecules before when he spoke of tiny shadows. After that she tried to push the shadows apart in a small explosion like Alexi had done and blew up her candle completely. A new one instantly appeared. Next, she tried to gather the shadows and surround the burning wick, starving the fire. This worked but keeping the shadow together in so much light was hard work. Finally, by the end of class she could successfully do it five times in a row. She hadn't thought Kyzul was watching, but on her fifth consecutive extinguishing, another five tallies appeared next to her name. 
Angelique finished her moving shadow exercise at this point as well, but no candle appeared at her desk. She opened her mouth to complain but then the morning class bell rang. She glared at Ro as if it were her fault that she had taken so long. 
Remembering that she still had to talk to Kyzul, Ro waited until the classroom emptied then proceeded up to his desk. Kyzul was leaning over the desk putting the points into the class's database. Only she, Alexi, and Angelique had received any points from the lesson. 
A breeze blew in from the open window and whipped her hair into her face. When she had brushed it aside, she found Kyzul staring at her, his eyes glowing slightly red again. Startled she began to step back when he caught her wrist and pulled her against his desk. Ro's pulse raced, and her face heated as he bent his head to her neck. The image of kissing her there popped into her mind and sent a tremor down her spine. He sniffed next to her skin and a low growl sounded in his throat.

*Excerpt*:
“Submit.” A soothing, male voice crooned inside the girl’s mind. Ice wrapped around her legs and reached up along her body. With every passing second, her chance of victory slipped further and further from her grasp.
“Just relax.” The voice said soothingly. Listening to it was dangerous to the girl. The too familiar voice spoke in time to her heartbeat in phrases she’d heard it say many times before. 
A shadow passed over her half-frozen body. Looking up, the girl saw the shadowed body of a dragon passing under the sun above her. The dragon’s head was lowered and the she could feel its piercing, demanding gaze on her skin. 
“You’ve done extremely well but you don’t have to fight so hard.” The voice said. 
The girl’s eyelids fluttered. She was so cold. Her breathing had slowed considerably as the ice was now at her waist. White mist formed as she exhaled. 
Fuzzily, she knew she was losing. She’d tried everything, but nothing she could do, none of her magic, could pierce those armor like scale. The voice was wrong. Everything was at stake for her, her heart, her freedom, her life, but she was once again powerless. 
The dragon swooped low over her head. It’s light blue scale’s glittered beautifully in the afternoon sun. 
The ice had reached the girl’s chest now. Each breath she drew was laborious and took a herculean effort. 
“It will be over soon.” The voice crooned softly, “Just rest.” 
The girl foggily knew that if she caved and relaxed the fight would be over. She wanted to fight; she needed to win, but she was so tired. 
The dragon landed in front of her. She blinked groggily at it trying to bring her eyes into focus. The dragon watched her expectantly as its ice climbed higher still on the girl’s body.
The girl could feel her pulse slowing as she tried to shake her head clear again. She couldn’t the ice had reached her chin. 
‘Why?’ she thought fuzzily, ‘how can it end like this?’ She worked so hard, but it hadn’t mattered. 
Despair choked her as her eyelids drooped and then closed. The ice covered her head as the girl fell into darkness.
