There was once a time when Vampires and Humans coexisted in peace, but with the rise of the Mages came the fall of that delicate harmony. War ravished the lands for far too long, leaving it torn and blood-soaked. Desperate to end things, the man known as the Sage-- the man who had brought about the existence of the Mages-- went in search of power and found it. But it came with a price. His sacrifice ended the war, but how long the new peace will last is a mystery that no one can answer.

My name is Damien, and I don't have a last name. Well, it's not that I don't have one; I don't remember it. I can give thanks to my guardian, Elceen. I call him El for short. One thing he's fantastic at other than magic is keeping secrets. 

All my life, I had to run. Run from who, you might ask? I have no idea-another one of El's secrets. What can I do, right? To wait until I'm deemed ready for answers seems like an eternity I'm not willing to serve. I must obtain answers; If not from El, I will get on my own. 

I will find out who I am; I will find out who my parents are; I will find out what I am.

Davis was so close yet the magical beast still wasn't able to find or even sense him.
Within a few minutes, Drake and Kara approached a position 150 meters away from the snake.
Their Soul Forging Cultivation was lower than Davis by two realms, so they couldn't use their stealth techniques the same as him.
The just hid their energy and battle aura deeply as they approached the magical beast before finally stopping at a distance of 150 meters.
They both looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
Spontaneously, Drake jumped above as his hand turned into a fiery palm while Kara extended her hands and pointed towards the snake.
He thrust his palm towards it and blazing heat spread out of his palm, threatening to burn the forest along with the snake.
The snake instantly noticed as it hissed, "Humans!"
The Magical Beast was no fool, it instantly backed from the onslaught by a few meters as it quickly sensed the aggressive duo's prowess, spiraling out of the tree with a dash.
But it suddenly became startled! It looked back and noticed its slithering body stuck on the tree with ice enclosing on it rapidly, making it lower body stuck to the tree.
Its eyes twitched violently as it counterattacked with a poisonous spit at the incoming attack.
Drake narrowed his eyes, and the fiery palm he unleashed collided with the poisonous spit.
Sizzling sounds erupted as the fiery palm turned viscous black before continuing to close in on the snake before it disintegrated into thin air.
With the attack crumbled, the magical beast felt its body going numb because of the ice encasing its lower half to the tree.
When it decided to crush the tree underneath, it's vision suddenly started to look at the ground.
"What?" It didn't understand why it would look at the ground, and when it tried to lift its neck, it couldn't!
*Thud!~*
The Magical Beast felt its vision going blur when it suddenly spotted another human with a scythe entering its narrow vision.
"Ah..." It finally understood and glanced at the tree which was in front of it.
It saw its body coiled around the tree that was encased in ice refusing to let it go, and blood gushing out like a fountain from the place where its head was supposed to be.
"Why is it still alive?" A human woman came near it and asked.
"It's a Grand Beast Stage Magical Beast, so it is bound to have a robust vitality." The man who unleashed the fiery palm landed in front of it.
"Besides, I only severed its head, not eroded its soul. With its huge vitality, it can probably even survive for over an hour..." The man with the scythe replied.
The Magical Beast looked at the three of them but wasn't angered. It realized its fate and accepted it but hate clouded its eyes when looking at the three of them.
"Of course, it cannot do anything in this period of time, so it's good as dead," Drake replied as he shook his head.
"But that's hard to say... What if this snake suddenly pounced on you by sacrificing all its vitality or blood essence? Maybe it can even spit poisonous liquid at you now, who knows..." Davis rebutted.
An icicle suddenly formed and flew towards the magical beast's head with a swoosh before it penetrated its brain, plugging in the blood from gushing out.
The next moment, the snake instantly lost the light in its eyes and its stiff muscles relaxed.
"I can take this as my kill, right?" Kara shot a smile at Davis.
Davis who drew near the head of the magical beast, shrugged a moment later, not worried about the loot.
Kara's smile turned splendid, "Thanks!"
Drake laughed wryly, "Alright, let's continue to hunt..."
The other two nodded and the three of them carried on with their hunt.
Drake silently turned to look at Davis as his eyes emitted a grave glint, 'He's like the perfect assassin right now... If he were close to me in that state, I'd doubt I'll be able to notice him...'
...
As the trio continued with their hunt for the day, they killed two more magical beasts that were at Low-Level Grand Beast Stage.
One was a Giant Monitor Lizard that was able to hide itself and the other was an Orange-Striped Cobra, capable of poisoning a Fifth Stage Cultivator to death!
With Davis's help, taking down the giant monitor lizard was not a problem, and the orange-striped cobra was frozen to death from the onslaught combined by the three of them.
The Giant Monitor Lizard's corpse went to Davis while the Orange-Striped Cobra's corpse went to Drake.
At nightfall, they set up a camp with Sky Grade Formations and secured themselves.
Two tents were put up by Drake and Davis shamelessly took one as if he owned it.
The other two glanced at him and looked at the single tent that was left out with a wry smile.
The two tents were at a fair distance from each other so if there was any 'noise' being made in one tent, the other wouldn't be able to hear it unless one was purposefully listening.
"Looks like we only have this tent left... I'm going in..." Kara spoke as she walked into the tent.
Drake looked at her disappearing figure and then turned to look at Davis's tent.
From the entrance of the tent, a hand reached out showing a thumbs-up sign.
Drake's eyes lit up as he felt that he truly met a friend, "Bro..."
He took a deep breath and entered the tent.
Meanwhile, Davis who extended his hand out of the tent took his hand back and muttered in a low voice, "This is for interrupting at that time..."
His thoughts then turned melancholic and nostalgic once he thought about his woman, 'Evelynn...'
Her ecstatic expression and her rosy lips flashed past his mind. 
'What is she doing right now? Has she already broken through to the Body Transformation Stage and regenerated her arm? I hope she did...'
A moment later, only a sigh could be heard from the lonely tent.


Tian Long, an orphan without much of a life in both his thirty year long life and lifespan!

Other than this, I'm planning for individual mass releases as well but don't rely on it.

The Silver Striped Golden Snake cautiously stared at the floating Light Wind Sword with its forked tongue flickering in and out of its mouth . The incredibly strong and sharp Sword Qi gave off a dangerous air around it that the Silver Striped Golden Snake could easily feel, which made it not dare to attack carelessly .
Jian Chen slowly closed his eyes as he continued to carefully experience the mysterious sensation born from his spirit controlling the sword . Following this, his intention changed, and the Light Wind Sword became a silver streak of lightning and flew towards the snake without anyone moving it, at an unbelievably fast speed .
"Whoosh!"
As the sword traveled through the air towards the head of the Silver Striped Golden Snake, it emitted an ear piercing shriek . Before the Silver Striped Golden Snake could even react, the Light Wind Sword had already pierced deep into its brain . Immediately, a deep wound appeared on its head as fresh blood began to flow out from it, dying the head of the snake a bloody red .
Even though Jian Chen was still bound up by the snake's tail in midair, seeing the wound he inflicted on the snake made him very happy . Since he could break apart the first layer of the snake's defenses, this meant that Jian Chen had a chance of beheading and killing the snake .
Jian Chen once again used his spirit controlled sword technique to continuously attack the snake .
"Whoosh!"
 
The Light Wind Sword under Jian Chen's control appeared to be a silver-white flash of lightning as it stabbed towards the Silver Striped Golden Snake repeatedly . However, the direction he was attacking toward was now the body of the snake .
Following the silver streak of light that flashed into the body of the Silver Striped Golden Snake, another deep bloody wound appeared . Although the wound wasn't a light one, it clearly hadn't damaged the vital regions of the snake .
The snake's heart was located seven inches away from its head . Although this attack had broken the snake's skin right above its heart, its defense provided such a powerful resistance that the Light Wind Sword couldn't harm the heart at all .
Feeling the layer of skin where its heart was being attacked, the snake became more frantic . In a rush, the snake began to coil its body around itself so that it could protect the spot that was just attacked . At the same time, the tail that wound around Jian Chen's body had loosened and released him .
No longer constrained by the snake, Jian Chen dropped down to the ground . Just after he landed, a strong wave of nausea surged through Jian Chen's head, but it was quickly suppressed by Jian Chen's spirit .
Using his right hand as a support, Jian Chen crawled up from the ground with some difficulty . He glanced at his left arm which he had completely lost all feeling . Sensing that his whole body had become really weak, Jian Chen's expression changed . With a sudden burst of power in his right arm, he ripped apart his own clothes, and saw that the entire section of his body starting from the end of his right arm all the way to the left half of his chest was pitch-black . The color was also visibly spreading throughout his entire body .
"What a strong venom . " Jian Chen's face sank . Only a span of a few breaths time had passed since he had first been bitten by the snake, but within this short period, the poison had already spread to half of his body . Such a pace of progression caused Jian Chen to feel terrified . Moreover, the most frightening part was that his Saint Force was unable to suppress the spread of the venom .
Remembering that the light Saint Force was able ot help suppress the venom, Jian Chen didn't hesitate at all . While using his Light Wind Sword to fight off the Silver Striped Golden Snake and prevent any further attacks towards himself, he began to rapidly gather the light Saint Force from within the World Essence toward himself .

 
 
Under Jian Chen's control, the light Saint Force began to gather where Jian Chen was with extreme speed . Upon reaching a certain concentration, a hazy white glow appeared around his surroundings and was growing stronger very quickly . In the span of a few breaths, that previously hazy layer of white glow had completely changed into a strong milky white radiance, enshrouding Jian Chen within it . It was as if he was wrapped within a white cocoon, and while the glow radiating from it was strong, it did not hurt the eyes .
Within the cocoon, the light Saint Force began to enter Jian Chen's body as a steady stream . The quickly reacting poison had finally met with an obstruction, and it began to slow down tremendously . However, that was the only effect . Although the light Saint Force could bring about a miraculous healing effect and heal many of the world's strongest snake venoms easily, it was not so for the Silver Striped Golden Snake's poison . The light Saint Force could only bring about a temporary repressive effect .
On the other side of the cocoon, the Light Wind Sword changed into a silver radiance that spiralled around the snake endlessly, leaving a silvery white circle in the air . Trapped within the spiral, the Silver Striped Golden Snake stared vigilantly at the light while protecting the injured part of its body, without exposing it at all . Even the snake had realized by now that its life was being significantly threatened
"Whoosh!"
The Light Wind Sword swirled around the snake with an ear piercing sound . In a split second, the sword stabbed at the snake's head .
Under the control of Jian Chen's spirit, the Light Wind Sword was simply too fast, multiple times faster than if Jian Chen were to personally swing it . Before the snake could even react, the sword had pierced its head once again .
"Hiss!"
Feeling a sharp pain, the Silver Striped Golden Snake began to hiss in pain while its forked tongue flicked about . Finally, it opened its mouth wide, and a thick gray fog of snake venom began to float out . The fog quickly spread out to the rest of the environment . In a flash, the plant life began to wilt rapidly . Even the nearby trees that had very strong vitality couldn't resist this venom; they withered as the previously lush leaves became orange, falling down to the ground slowly, as if it was autumn .

 
 
As the poisonous fog permeated the air of the surrounding area and dissipated into the surroundings, the previously verdant and lush trees began to wither and wilt as they came into contact with the fog .
When the poisonous fog had first appeared, Jian Chen had immediately held his breath, as the milky white cocoon rapidly dissipated . Even with the light Saint Force, the extremely dangerous snake venom could not be cured, so Jian Chen was very afraid of this fog .
Borrowing the cover of its poisonous fog, the Silver Striped Golden Snake began to move; it immediately slithered backwards to escape . The infamous snake that had spread fear with its name alone was feeling dread in its heart from the speed of the Light Wind Sword, as the snake couldn't follow the blade's movements . In a life threatening situation like this one, the Silver Striped Golden Snake had given up on chasing Jian Chen .
Seeing the snake trying to run away, Jian Chen became anxious . Without hesitation, he commanded the Light Wind Sword to chase after it at the fastest speed possible .
Since he was poisoned by the venom from earlier, he definitely needed the blood of the Silver Striped Golden Snake to cure himself . Otherwise, even if he were to use the light Saint Force to suppress the spread of the venom, he would still die in the end . This was because the light Saint Force was only a temporary measure . Moreover, gathering the light Saint Force took a lot out of him, so Jian Chen wouldn't be able to keep it up forever .
The Light Wind Sword streaked by the forests in a huge ray of light . In a flash, it had caught up to the Silver Striped Golden Snake and stabbed into its body near where its heart was .
Against the fast speed of the Light Wind Sword, the snake had no time to react at all; the sword easily penetrated its underside and through its heart .
When the sword stabbed into its heart, the Silver Striped Golden Snake shook heavily a final time before it came to a grinding halt . With a loud desolate hiss that shook the heavens, it fell to the ground lifelessly .

 
 
"Phew!" Jian Chen let out a long breath of air . The heart that had previously leapt into his throat had finally calmed down, as Jian Chen had finally protected his life successfully .
A loud metallic sound was heard as the Light Wind Sword flew out of the Silver Striped Golden Snake's body before flying around in the sky . Then it flashed towards Jian Chen, and returned back to his right hand .
Seeing the sword in his hand, Jian Chen suppressed the elation in his heart . He immediately ran over to the body of the Silver Striped Golden Snake; he needed to absorb the blood in order to detoxify himself . He had to do it now since in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, every moment delayed added to the unknown danger that existed .
Walking shakily toward the nearly 50 meters long carcass of the snake, Jian Chen knelt down, grabbed onto the bleeding part of the snake's body to bring it to his mouth, and began to suck the blood without any hesitation .
"Gudong!" "Gudong!"
Without stopping, Jian Chen continued to swallow the snake's blood in large gulps . He could clearly feel the special energy from within the snake's blood as it entered his stomach . Wherever this blood flowed to, the slowly creeping poison there instantly began to lessen, as the blood quickly counteracted and cured the poison .
Feeling the changes within his body, Jian Chen started to drink even more of the snake's blood at an even quicker rate, as if it was a delicious delicacy he couldn't get enough of .

After death, Jian Chen’s soul was reincarnated into a foreign world. He grew up with flying speed, but in the end, because of overflowing enemies and from heavy injuries by them, his soul abnormally changed at the border of life and death. From then on, he stepped onto a completely different path of sword cultivation and became the Sword God of the generation.


This is novel is for my personal convenience. So, I am sorry that it starts in chapter 13.

"Madison, darling. Could you come downstairs please?" shouted Mrs Nicholas up the stairs.
I, Madison-Rose rushed downstairs with my big sister Hannah.
Hannah was 19 years old, and the older sister of Madison-Rose and the eldest daughter of Sophie Elizabeth and Michael Nicholas. When she was Madison-Rose's age, her grandma (her mum's mum) forced her to get rid of all her teddies and stopped collecting them. Her favourite teddy bear was a bear called Zoe who had two big black eyes and a big brown nose, two paws and feet. She had belonged to Sophie at first when Sophie was a little girl and her mum forced Sophie to get rid of her teddies (the same thing as what Elizabeth did to Hannah) and put Zoe into a box and into her attic but then she moved and Zoe ended up in the boot of a Toyota and ended up in Japan.
But then she got told by her mother, she has a half brother and went on a search to find him and ended up in Crystal woods next to a camping site in Cornwall called St Meryl's and the forest was hidden.
Inside the woods, there lived Harry (the boss) who was big and giant (he was yellow and wore a pink ribbon) Rosie and Josie (twin bears) are both pink, Rosie with a dark pink nose, black eyes and wearing a light pink bow and Josie is a really light pink wearing a dark and light bow and with black eyes. Lily the unicorn, she's all-white fur, with a dark sparkly pink horn, two pink ears, light blue/green mare, and pink feet. Uni, Rainbow and Star (unicorns) Violet-Rose (she has white fur, red nose and two black eyes, Rory (a plainly peach fur and a dark peach nose) Chocolate (half brother of Zoe, he's dark brown with light brown nose and black eyes) Rudolph who is the only reindeer in the forest (he's brown, and a red and white tiny nose and wore a red and white striped scarf) Ruby (she's light peach fur with tiny black eyes and a button brown nose) snowflake (white fur, red and green scarf and wore a pair of reindeer ears that were brown and had black eyes), Petals (she was the another unicorn that lived there, she was white with a pink mare, pink ears, pink horn and big black eyes) cuddles (he was big but not as big as Harry, he was brown, had big black eyes, a big black nose and wore a red ribbon) Ginger (she is similar to Cuddles, but she had ginger coloured fur had a red heart on the bottom of one foot, a big black nose and two black eyes and a big smile) Magnificent (who is also a unicorn and the smallest one that lived there, she had dark pink fur, purple paws and feet and a sparkly light purple horn and black eyes) polar bear (light blue fur, black eyes and nose with white feet and paws) patches (she was orange, brown feet at the bottom, a brown button nose and black eyes) fudge Chocolate (all of her was brown, she had a dark brown nose and brown eyes) White chocolate (again he was all white but he had black eyes and nose) Patches is all orange holding a red heart saying I love you with a patch that has sew back together on his head, with brown ears, black eyes and brown feet at the bottom.
I wonder what Madison-Rose is doing" said Rosie "yeah, I miss her, I wish she didn't have to go back to England," said Star "and Hannah, Star. But she had to go back, her family holiday ended" said Lily don't forget Hannah" said Rudolph their grandmother doesn't sound very nice, forcing Hannah not to collect teddy bears" said Fudge Chocolate.
Harry walked over; he was gigantic. He was the boss. He wore a pink ribbon and the rest of him was yellow and he had big black eyes. He was very soft.
He smiled at the animals.
Then some other animals began to walk over to them.
Harry smiled at them all nervously.
The blue teddy bear with black eyes and white paws smiled at them friendly.
"Hello," she said
The animals smiled but felt scared.
Harry smiled nervously.
"Hello, who are you?" he asked.

Zoe returns to Crystal Woods in Cornwall and Madison-Rose and her family return for another holiday. Madison-Rose thinks that this is going to be another normal family holiday with her family, Jade and Steven as they have come along but what she doesn't know is there is trouble coming to Crystal Woods as there is a few new faces coming to cause trouble. They want to take over the beloved Crystal Woods. Madison-Rose and her sister, their relationship is so much stronger now and Madison-Rose lets her big sister know. But Zoe has a choice to make when Chocolate wants to go back home, will she stay with her friends in Crystal Woods or go back to Japan with her half-brother?

All of their magical devices had been upgraded by Leon's mother.
Crystal and Vanessa walked out of the gift shop empty-handed. Crystal looked around as there was a crowd near the shopping district. They were selling balloons and cotton candy at the roadside. Crystal wanted some cotton candy but she didn't say anything. She decided to ignore it. The sky was a beautiful blue, with white wispy clouds. She could hear the chatter of people. She saw the glass shop windows with dresses on mannequins and felt an urge to redesign them to suit her needs.
"Where else can we look?" asked Vanessa
"I don't know. I really needed to buy a present for my parent's anniversary. But everything in that shop was hideous and overpriced." Said Crystal
"Why not just get them a cake?" suggested Vanessa
"Good idea! Why didn't I think of that?" said Crystal
Crystal saw small Vanessa become a bit awkward. Maybe she didn't expect Crystal to exclaim like that.
So they headed in the direction of the bakery.
On the way, Crystal felt like all eyes were on them, even though she didn't find anyone staring at them.
Their lockets began to beat in unison like heartbeats and they could hear faint music. 
"Should we transform?" asked Crystal
"Yes of course." Said Vanessa
"What did they say again? We have to make a new dialogue." Said Crystal
"I've already made mine." Said Vanessa
"Eh? What?!" said Crystal
Vanessa went back a few steps away as they left the crowd.
"Dolls and fun, give me magic, and a laser gun!" said Vanessa
Vanessa entered a dimension, different from the one she was used to. Slow pop music began to play. A nostalgic scenery of a carnival popped up in the background. She could see a Ferris wheel in the distance. Vanessa twirled around. Dolls and stuffed animals threw paper confetti at her as her body got covered in purple fabric. That fabric was shaped into a frilly shirt, a skirt and a jabot tie. She hopped like a rabbit once and a pair of bunny ears and a bow appeared on the side of her head. She hopped again and got white shoes that lit up. Her locket remained as it always did, and a large laser gun appeared in her hands.
"I'm Nostalgic Joy!" said Vanessa
Vanessa couldn't help but exclaim when she saw a fluffy purple stuffed rabbit, wearing a bow and carrying a heart magic wand. Crystal exclaimed too. It was by Vanessa's side. 
"Hello." It said 
"It talks?!" exclaimed Crystal and Vanessa in unison
"Choose a name for me, Vanessa Beverly." it said
Crystal felt unnerved. There was something weird about a stuffed animal coming to life.
"Okay. I name you Mabel! Oh wait, does that sound too old?" said Vanessa
"Okay, setting name to Mabel." It said
"I'm transforming now!" declared Crystal
"Yummy sweets and chocolate treats, give me life measured by heartbeats!" yelled Crystal
Crystal felt strange as she entered the new dimension. Happy piano music began to play. There was the scenery of an old-fashioned candy store. She danced with grace and tapped her feet on the ground. Her black shoes were now replaced by pink shoes with heart buckles. Her jeans and t-shirt were replaced by yards of bright candy pink and chocolate brown fabric. They turned into a princess-like dress with brown ribbons turning into corset-like lacing. She tapped her hair with two of her fingers and a bow headband appeared. Her locket stayed as usual, but her glasses stayed too, which now matched. To finish it off, she dipped a plain wand into the chocolate fountain, and there was now a round taffy with a bow on it. At last, a mini bear-shaped custard bun appeared on top of this, with whipped cream and a strawberry. 
"I am Lovely Baker!" said Crystal, before adding, "Where did they come from?"
Crystal saw something she hadn't seen before. Two unknown Magical Warriors, fighting a strange monster-like creature, with green wings and a large axe. There was something human about the monster, with the troubled look on his face. The warriors were on the branch of a tree, and every time they fell, they landed on the branch, just like gymnasts.   
"Hah! Amateurs." Said the girl with the sky blue hair
"I know. I thought they'd never be able to transform. Hey kids, aren't you going to try to defeat this demon? Or are you going to lose the challenge by running away?" said the girl with orange hair in a ponytail
She could tell they were Magical Warriors too, by the way they were dressed. They seemed to be managing well, without Crystal and Vanessa.
"Amy, you idiot! You're not healing me in time!" said the orange haired girl
"How many times do I have to tell you? I'm an exorcist, not a healer!" said the blue haired girl
Crystal and Vanessa looked at each other and nodded.
Vanessa shot a laser, but the sheer force made her unstable and almost fall. She misfired, and the laser was caught between the demon's wing and a bit of Amy's hand.
Amy fell from the tree, and yelled, "Oh, how dare you?"
"Air Knife!" yelled the orange haired girl
She pierced through the demon's heart. He disappeared.
Crystal could see Vanessa shaking. Something bad was going to happen. 
They came towards the two of them with weapons. They were both wearing striped skirts with plain tops and ribbons in their hair. Amy, with the blue hair had her ribbon tied like a headband and it was polka dotted. The orange haired girl had her hair in a ponytail, and the ribbon was tied in a bow to hold in it place.
"You better make up for this." Said the orange haired girl
"I can heal her." Said Crystal
"You? A healer? You look more like diabetes!" said the girl
At once, Crystal felt her mind breaking down, and feeling as if she had done something wrong. 
"It was an accident!" said Vanessa
"Oww. Let her heal me, June. I don't think anything else can fix this." Said Amy
"You should have thought that before you insulted us!" yelled Crystal
They went back and unwound their clocks, as the bunny disappeared. They went to the bakery and bought a large vanilla cake for Crystal's parents.

I whip around to see the small child behind me on the sidewalk. Her dirty orange dress barely visible under the large jacket. She gazes up at me with her big hazel eyes and walks forwards towards me. I back up quickly and scurry away from the little girl, my hand touches the doorknob and grips it. I can feel my knuckles flush white from the pressure and I frantically search the surroundings. 

     The sun peaks its crest over the far hills, streaking orange, purple and pink across the early morning sky. The girl yawns quietly, covering her mouth with her small hand. 

"Please, sir. Can I please come in?" She asks in a hopeful voice. I whirl around and yank the door open before bursting into the familiar room and slamming the door shut behind me. I exhale the breath I didn't know I was holding and remove my backpack. It lands on the floor with a loud thump, a small can of peas rolls out from the broken pocket. I grab the peas and the few other food items I could scavenge from the wasteland and sit them next to my very small stash of survival supplies. 

     I open the tattered notebook, scanning through the multiple pages. I pull the pen from the broken plastic cup it sits in and cross out the mistaken information. My dozens of theories on why their veins coil around the outside of their bodies like vines, what their language could mean and what happens to the people taken by them. I turn the yellowed pages to an empty space and fill in the information that the little girl gave me. 

      The thoughts of the girl stir up regret within my gut. I push the feeling and continue my day, preparing some food for breakfast and checking my map for a new area to search. The regret bubbles up into my chest, making my breathing heavy. I try to calm myself, reasoning to myself that if I took her in it would risk my life as well as hers. Memories flood my mind of the woman in the street. In an action of compassion and selflessness, she saved her daughter from a terrible fate and suffered because of it. 

     My eyes widen in realization. I look further at the memory and see the bright orange and striped stockings of the hungry girl. The little girl, that I shut out, had lost her mother just a few days ago. I watched her mother get crushed then taken by merciless beings. I mentally curse myself, my internal battle between charity and self-preservation raged on within my mind. 

     I open the door, peering outside. Nothing stirs, the chilly morning air covering the landscape in a blanket of serenity. I sigh with mixed emotions at the absence of the girl. I close the door and slink back into my small home. I finish eating breakfast and pack my bag with supplies for the day. I rub my eyes and squint toward the sky, watching carefully for the mini-ships. I run crouched to the ground, following the map that I prepared a few hours prior. My thighs begin to burn and my body begs for sleep, but I push forward. 

     Soon enough, a crumbling shopping district comes into sight. The neon sign directing passerbys into the mall has now toppled over and rests on top of a few cars. I scanned the parking lot for tentacles and orange fabric, resting next a dusty pickup truck. I pull out a water bottle from my pack and sip on the lukewarm liquid slowly, preserving it for later. As the sun rises higher, more sweat drips from my brow in the heat. 

     I gaze into the display windows, peering at the shop's contents. I let out an exasperated sigh at the brightly coloured exercise clothes and aluminum baseball bats. The clothes will only draw attention to me and the bat will do little to nothing against the futuristic technology of the invaders. A vending machine lay on the ground and I rushed over. To my disgust, animals had gotten to the junk food before I did. The bags of chips and sweets had been busted open and the half-eaten snacks covered the tile floor of the hallway. I grunt as I volt over the large machine and land on the other side. 

     I enter into the center of the mall, the high ceiling had collapsed into the building. I step over heaps of broken glass and piles of rubble as I traverse the shopping centre. I stumble past a small store, the walls lined with clothes. I gaze into the small space and freeze. A small orange dress hangs on one of the mannequins, the small mannequin stares into me with dead eyes. I shake the thoughts in my mind and focus on what I came here to do. I thoroughly check a few more stores, finding a few items that will help me survive. 


      I stand up from my position, swinging my backpack to my shoulder. My body stiffens as a low growl echos through the ruined building. I dive behind a fallen column and hold my breath. The jagged teeth appear from above me, the tall alien surveys the area, its yellow fly-like eyes sending a shiver down my spine. I grip the straps of my worn backpack to ground myself and calm my shaking hands. The teeth spread themselves and a long snake-like tongue slithers out of the dark cavern. And when I say 'snake-like' I don't mean like a snake's tongue, I mean like a snake. The tongue reveals it's own set of teeth, the translucent, sharpened bone ready to strike at unexpecting prey. 

     My lungs burn and my vision has gone blurry, I see the outline of the tongue creature searching above me. Black dots swirl around me and my world begins to dim. I  crawl slowly across the length of the pillar, barely staying concious. I manage to stay behind fallen debris and away from the alien's vision until I make it into a hallway adjacent to the room. I breathe deeply, wanting to get air into my lungs as quickly as possible. 

     A spine-chilling screech rings through my head as heavy footsteps rush toward my hiding place.

Most of Earths population has been eradicated. A new hostile race of Aliens have invaded Earth, their technology far surpassing those of humans. Guy has witnessed dozens of unfortunate victims die at the tendrils of the Alien race, all within a few days. He had been smart enough so far to notice their patterns, he knows how they work. He could take the whole ship down if only- what? Kid what are you doing? Go to sleep! Guy is busy planning and he can't do that when you're shoving your teddy bear in his face! Go! Don't bother him. Okay, where were we? Ah, yes. Guy could plunge the mother ship to the ground if- the annoying little girl would stay asleep! Why aren't you sleeping, what could you possibly want? 

"A good night's kiss?"


"F∆ck no. GO TO BED."

"A black striped snake that's about to become a dragon; it's surely a high level commander and nearing the horde leader level!" Gao Feng's expression was extremely serious, and he said in a small voice, "And since it's a mutated twin headed black striped snake, its venom is many times more powerful than a regular black striped snake! It also has two venom sacs, and each of those venom sacs are worth double the amount of a non-mutated black striped snake".
"In other words--"

"This twin headed black striped snake is worth the same amount as four black striped snakes of the same level! A black striped snake that's about to become a dragon is worth around 400 million, so this twin headed black striped snake is worth 1.6 billion! The price is comparable to a regular low level horde leader monster" after Gao Feng said these numbers, the heart rate of the others started increasing rapidly...... they have killed hundreds of commander level monsters over the past few days.
But all of that is not even close to the amount of money that the twin headed black striped snake is worth! Obviously, killing stronger monsters earns money at a higher rate.
"Of course, this twin headed black striped snake is extremely dangerous, once you get bit by it or get poisoned by it in any way, it's certain death!" Gao Feng said lowly, "And it has two brains, so both heads can attack the enemy together".
"Are we doing this?" Gao Feng looked towards the other members of the squad and finally laid his eyes on Luo Feng.
Everyone was silent as they looked at Luo Feng.
Luo Feng was the one to make the decision!
A twin headed black striped snake would make them tons of money! But at the same time, it's extremely dangerous!
"I'm in!"
Luo Feng clenched his teeth, "Captain, what about you?". With his spiritual force, his dodging would be unpredictable!
"Luo Feng, help me a bit if there's trouble" Gao Feng clenched his teeth, "Fighters are supposed to walk on the border of life and death. Wei Tie, give me your shield".
"Here, captain".
Wei Tie had no hesitation as he gave his shield to Gao Feng. And Gao Feng put one of his hammers on the ground. He had a shield in his left hand and a hammer in his right. He laughed at himself: "After all this time, I still rarely use a shield in combat. However, this twin headed black striped snake is just too dangerous. If I don't use a shield, I'll actually be quite scared".
"Captain, I'll attack from afar and you attack up close" said Luo Feng quietly, "If something happens, I'll use my spiritual force on your shield or hammer and you can use that force to dodge away".
"Understood" Gao Feng nodded.
Luo Feng looked at the other three and said: "I'll go down with the captain, you guys stay here. Oh yea, brother Chen, aim with your sniper rifle...... and make sure nobody tries to take advantage of us and steal the kill!".
"No worries, I'll keep aiming below" laughed Chen Gu slightly, "If you want me to fire, just notify me directly".
"Okay"
Through the tactical communications watch, members of a squad can keep in touch any time.
"Captain, let's go". Luo Feng and Gao Feng speeded down the stairs. Against a monster of this level, Chen Gu and the others could do nothing to help.
Luo Feng and Gao Feng reached the ground and, using their memory, went along a ruined, stony path towards the location of the twin headed black striped snake.
"BOOM!"
"HISS~" the ear piercing hiss of the snake carried over from far away.
Luo Feng and Gao Feng exchanged glances, and the tactical communications watch slightly vibrated at the same time. Luo Feng lowered his head to look, and a line of words appeared on the tactical communications watch--"three people suddenly appeared and are currently in an intense battle with the twin headed black striped snake".
Gao Feng also received the news and said quietly: "Didn't think that some other group would get to it first. However, let's go take a look".
"Let's go" Luo Feng also nodded.
The two of them rapidly got close and quickly arrived at the corner of a residential apartment. Past the corner, Luo Feng caught a glimpse of the three men currently fighting against the twin headed black striped snake around a few dozen meters away. The three men looked like they were from Western or Southern Asia. Their hair was slightly curly and their skin color was slightly dark.
The bald man who seemed to be the leader of these three men held a dark, golden bo staff around three meters long.
The staff in his hand was like a swimming dragon. Every time the triangular head of the twin headed black striped snake hissed as it flew over to him, the bo staff would always be quick enough to smash the snake. Even if it couldn't smash the head, it would still smash the body of the twin headed black striped snake. Sometimes, the 'point' on the head of the bo staff would connect, causing the twin headed black striped snake to hiss in rage!
As for the other two, they both held a rectangular shield in one hand and a gigantic scimitar in the other. These two were close together and attacked as a team: their coordination was amazing.
"PENG!"
The rusty fitness machines that filled the sector from long ago were all smashed open by the swinging tail of the twin headed black striped snake, and the bald brute also retreated rapidly. The bo staff turned and formed a whirlwind that blocked all of the scrap metal, and the master of the staff retreated rapidly.
"Great bo staff technique" Gao Feng couldn't help but to say quietly, "This bald guy is probably an advanced level warlord. The other two are probably medium level warlords".
Luo Feng nodded.
This brute dared to go head to head with the twin headed black striped snake, so it's easy to tell that he's strong.
"SI SI~~"
The twin headed black striped snake was enraged, and the cold eyes of the two gigantic snake heads were enough to send chills down your spine. It repeatedly widely opened its mouth as it attacked. Under the attack of the twin headed black striped snake, the three of them retreated rapidly and started to exchange words. After hearing the conversation between the three, Luo Feng and Gao Feng instantly determined--Indians!
After the battle, one of the heads of the twin headed black striped snake was bleeding. It was smashed by the bo staff of the bald brute! However, this wound was clearly not fatal.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
The three Indians swiftly headed towards the direction of Luo Feng and Gao Feng.
"Feel free to fight it if you can" the bald brute squeezed out some chinese. At this time, the twin headed black snake was hissing as it charged over.
Luo Feng and Gao Feng laughed coldly and didn't say much, and then swiftly dodged to the side. They weren't stupid enough to charge directly at a twin headed black striped snake. The leader of the three Indians, the bald brute, couldn't help but to curse under his voice and then shot his three meter long bo staff at the twin headed black striped snake.
"Now is the time"
Luo Feng already grabbed his black throwing knife as he dodged, and this was a 9th series throwing knife! He threw it with lightning speed!
The throwing knife formed a cold light as it shot towards the left head of the twin headed black striped snake. As an existence that is almost a dragon, the twin headed black striped snake is extremely intelligent. It saw that the insignificant human threw a throwing knife, so its left head swiftly waved. The brain of a snake has always worked extremely quickly!
The left head of the twin headed black striped snake instantly became blurred.
"Its intellect was used against itself" laughed Luo Feng coldly, "Change!"
He purposefully threw his throwing knife to make the wiseacre twin headed black striped snake to think he used hidden weapons. Using common sense, throwing knives can't change direction in the air. Sadly..... Luo Feng wasn't some hidden weapons expert, but was tens to hundreds of times stronger than a hidden weapons expert.
When there was just barely a meter left between the throwing knife and the twin headed black striped snake, the knife slightly changed direction. Just this slight change caused the knife to charge towards one of the eyes of the twin headed black striped snake's left head.
"HISS~" the twin headed black striped snake hissed out of rage, and in that short moment, actually made an dodging movement with its left head!
Know that, Luo Feng's throwing knife was already going at a few times faster than the speed of sound, even faster than a sniper bullet!
A distance of one meter and a speed several times the speed of sound, not even a thousandth of a second!
And since the throwing knife was moving so quickly, even Luo Feng couldn't be sure that he changed it at 1 meter or 1.5 meters. Since the throwing knife was so fast, a slight delay means that the knife could've moved forward by 10 meters already. Even if he reacts quickly, in that short moment, Luo Feng can only change the knife's direction once!
And in just that short moment, not only did the twin headed black striped snake react, but it also dodged! Of course, since it was such a short moment, the twin headed black striped snake dodged under extreme circumstances.
"PU!" the throwing knife shot at the mouth of the twin headed black striped snake and drew out a gap, and grazed the twin headed black striped snake's scales.
CHI CHI~~
It only left a white mark, and the throwing knife directly reflected into the ground.
"Such horrifying defense" Luo Feng was startled, "Such amazing dodging capabilities. It changed direction in such a short distance, and this twin headed black striped snake was still able to dodge? This is going to be a problem!" Luo Feng knew that getting rid of this twin headed black striped snake by himself would be extremely difficult.
"Hiss~" the two heads of the twin headed black striped snake both turned towards Luo Feng. Its left head had a huge gap in its mouth, and a deep, green colored blood flowed out continuously.
The bald brute who wielded the long bo staff laughed loudly, and as he retreated, he yelled in his awkward chinese, "Team up, split half?". His gaze was on Luo Feng.
Luo Feng and Gao Feng exchanged glances.
"Alright" said Luo Feng.
"OK!" Gao Feng even purposefully made a gesture.
The three Indians and Luo Feng and Gao Feng, both groups instantly made their decision to cooperate. The bald brute's strength earned Luo Feng and Gao Feng's recognition while Luo Feng's throwing knives earned the three Indian's recognition! Only with strength can you earn others' attention and respect!
And outside of Wan-Ke dream city was a fighter squad of nine that was currently slowly heading forward. In this squad of nine were the members of the tiger fang squad.
"Hm? That's the sound of a snake, and an extremely powerful one at that".
Out of the nine, a veteran whose hair was white spoke.



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.     

Without the protection of his mother's ancestral statue, Chen Changan could only ask Orange to patrol the waters every night. However, this wasn't a long-term solution.
Chen Changan sincerely hoped that the grilled ribbon fish would be judged as the best food.
"Are you willing to accept this grilled ribbon fish as a sacrifice?"
Just as he finished speaking, the corners of the Mazu statue's mouth seemed to open slightly. Chen Changan only blinked his eyes for a moment before the grilled fish disappeared.
At the same time, the Mazu statue's divine power increased by five points.
Chen Changan was in a good mood. 'From now on, I won't have to worry about sharks launching sneak attacks at night.'
"White-quality food can increase the divine power by five points? Not bad, not bad."
But on second thought, the Mazu statue can only force a sea monster back. Its power was limited.
If Chen Changan wanted to launch a counterattack on the treasure island, he would have to bring along a batch of higher-level equipment. The power of the ancestral statue was obviously insufficient.
His first attempt at entering the treasure island could be described as a Level 0 player fighting a boss.
If he wanted to attack the treasure island… Chen Changan felt that he had to fulfill at least three conditions. 
Firstly, knowing one's enemy and oneself would allow one to be undefeated in a hundred battles. Only by searching for as much information about the treasure island as possible and knowing its true battle prowess would one be qualified to claim revenge.
Secondly, before thinking about winning, he had to think about losing first. He had to have at least two items or abilities that could be used for fleeing. It was not embarrassing to flee.
Thirdly, all the tragedies in this world stemmed from the lack of ability of the person involved. Chen Changan had to become stronger in order to be qualified to destroy the treasure island.
Chen Changan still remembered the terror he felt when escaping from the monsters. It was the closest he had ever been to death.
When strange tentacles reached out from the bottom of the temple, his mind seemed to have suffered a heavy blow. Endless fear assaulted every corner of his body.
Perhaps if he looked at those tentacles one more time, he would be so frightened that he would lose his ability to escape.
Fortunately, he had long considered the matter of fleeing. Even in a state of panic, he could turn around and flee and gradually recover his rationality while running. However, the fear left by those tentacles had long been deeply engraved in his mind.
"Just like that water snake?" Chen Changan glanced at Orange and suddenly felt no fear.
While learning how to swim, Chen Changan realized something: Do not be afraid no matter what difficulties you encounter; face it with a smile. The best way to eliminate fear is to face it. Persistence is victory!
Just as Chen Changan was pondering on how to deal with the treasure island, Orange suddenly let out two anxious chirps and swam back in the direction of the raft family.
Chen Changan understood immediately—something had happened to the raft family!
"Let's go!"
Orange immediately bit the rope at the bow of the ship and pulled The Flying Henan People to sail rapidly.
The distance of 100 meters was short.
When Chen Changan approached the raft family, it wasn't a shark attacking, nor was it a Sea Demoness. Instead, it was a woman holding her round stomach, lying on the raft, and wailing in pain.
The old lady—who was originally responsible for delivering the baby—fainted on the raft. The two men stared at each other helplessly.
Chen Changan immediately realized that a woman was about to give birth.
A prompt suddenly came from the system: "Do you accept the task of delivery?"
"Yes."
If you are poor, you will be good to yourself. If you are good, you will help the world!
Compared to billions of people, Chen Changan couldn't be described as poor. Although his ability to help the world was far from enough, the family on the rafts in front of him were all saying the same thing. 
He would definitely not stand by and do nothing!
Fortunately, a few days before Chen Changan transmigrated, he had taken the initiative to learn about the knowledge of delivering a child because of someone's 'abandonment problem.'
"Do you need my help?" Chen Changan wasn't in a hurry to break through the safe distance. Instead, he shouted at the old man.
"Yes, yes, yes. If you have a solution, come quickly!" The old man was so anxious that he didn't care about strangers anymore. Whoever could save his daughter-in-law would be his benefactor.
"Orange!" Chen Changan didn't give any specific orders, but Orange knew what he wanted and pulled the two ships closer together.
The distance between the two boats shortened to one meter, and Chen Changan carefully jumped over. Fortunately, the large raft was made of several ordinary rafts, so it didn't cause too much of a stir.
The old man eagerly introduced the details. His name was Ji Shu, and he had been a soldier for more than 20 years. The old lady beside him was his wife, and she had suffered low blood sugar levels since she was young. There was no candy in the aid food and water given by the Deep Sea World. After working for a while, she fainted. 
He fed her bread and water, but she never woke up.
The young man's name was Ji Shaoping, and he was a graduate student. The pregnant girl was his newly-wed wife, Zhang Li. Their family was forced to transmigrate to this world when the fetus was just eight months old.
Perhaps it was because of the harsh living environment that caused the fetus's condition to be unstable, but Zhang Li had just eaten some bread at noon when she had a pregnancy reaction. Her stomach was hurting.
Despair was written all over Zhang Li's face. Her pale and powerless face made one's heart ache.
Chen Changan thought that this was bad. If the pregnant lady's mentality collapsed, then he—as a keyboard warrior—would have no choice. 
He immediately said in a calm tone, "Sister, don't be anxious. I've learned how to deliver babies before! Don't worry, I'll make sure that both of you are safe!"
Even if he hadn't learned to deliver a baby, he had to say that he had.
Chen Changan was well aware that in ancient times, the survival instinct of a pregnant woman affected the chances of survival. In this sea, the success rate of childbirth was even lower than in ancient times.
Zhang Li's expression calmed down a little as she used her remaining strength to thank him. "Please, Doctor."
Chen Changan realized that because of the white priest robe he was wearing, Zhang Li treated him as a doctor.
Chen Changan did not explain; this was a good thing. It was more important for Zhang Li to regain her confidence than anything else. 
He continued to ask, "Zhang Li, are you hungry? Since you haven't given birth yet, you'd better eat something. The conditions here are simple. Eat more, and your chances of survival will be higher."
Her husband, Ji Shaoping, immediately asked, "Bread, Zhang Li. Would you like some bread?"
A look of disgust appeared on Zhang Li's face. Perhaps she used to love the combination of bread and milk back on Earth, but after eating bread for a week, she felt nauseous just by smelling the bread. The constant fussing of the child in her stomach also made her lose 80% of her appetite.
Chen Changan recalled that he had only taken a bite of the fish on his grill, but he didn't feel the slightest heartache. He immediately said, "I have grilled ribbon fish on my boat. I'll go get it!"
"Grilled?" The old man and the young man both cried out in surprise. 
In fact, when Chen Changan had first met them, he had said that he had cooked food and hot water in his hands. However, he had been chased away by them as if they were enemies and had forgotten most of what he had said.
"Yes… yes." Zhang Li looked at Chen Changan expectantly.


"The whole world found they had traveled in time after waking up one day.
Eight billion human beings woke up and found sharks had become their neighbors, and their only shelter was the wooden raft under their feet. What floated towards them included not only objects from shipwrecks but also numerous monsters lurking in the sea.
Grilling Kelps, Rum, Great White Sharks, Former Dominators...
Fortunately, Chen Chang'an used a cheating program. As long as he had enough surviving points, he would be able to upgrade items such as knives, artilleries, and even nuclear weapons. They could all be upgraded to more cutting-edge technologies.
Wooden Raft -> Black-awning Boat -> Ghost Ship ... Aircraft Carrier
Wooden Axe -> Opening Mountain Axe -> Storm·Opening Mountain Axe ... Magic Opening Sky Axe
One year later, when the others were still struggling to survive, Chen Chang'an had started to conquer the undersea world in magic attire.
""We are rowing a bathtub, but he is driving an aircraft carrier!""
""And there are two fair-skinned pretty mermaid sisters on the ship. They look delicate and touching."""
