A Short Story About A god.. who has lost his title and don't have much time left

He was searching for a peaceful place to spent his remaining time, when he came upon a high school girl called Ayushi

{Gambler: Lucky Avillion
Rank: F-5 (?)

}
As I look at the confusing screen appear on my phone, I look at my stats and see how matching it seems, I am not very athletic, as for why my numbers are down. I am a very thin teen with almost no muscles, the only thing I relied on was my brain power.
I saw the blue question marks on the screen, and clicked the one next to my rank, thinking there might be more information about the subject, and I was correct. {Rank: F-5, win more games, and earn more credits to unlock the next tier in the rank. The higher the tier, the more resources you will receive.}
As I finished reading the portion about my rank, I clicked on the question mark next to credits. {Credits: 500, credits are use for anything you can ask for, go to marketplace to use the credits, you can wager your credits in battles, and events to earn more, or lose.} then next was Points, {Points: 0, use points to increase your stats.} As I finished reading both portions, I already had a grasps about stats, so I skipped it for the meantime. As for the inherent ability it mentions a special ability that we can use in games and real life, and that only 1% of players have them.
There were 4 tabs on the top of the screen, (Gambler, Marketplace, Battle/Events, Leader-boards). As I tried clicked on each tab, to encounter various information, marketplace just showed various items and more to purchase, while when I clicked on Battles/Events, a notification popped up. {Choose Nickname, this will help protect your real name}. After some time thinking about it I went with, Unfortunate. {Confirm|| Yes/No} as I clicked on yes, a new screen appeared in front of me, the battle portion of the tab, was lit up in yellow, while when I tried to click on events, it was closed and said {Must be Rank: D to enter events}.
As for the last tab Leader-boards, it was also closed for me, it also asked for Rank: D qualifications  to be given privileges to use it. I finally finished looking into the app, and was ready to engage in a "battle" hoping to find another clue about Tyler.
{Searching for an opponent.... Searching for an opponent.... Searching for an opponent.... Opponent found.}

"But a hero title for someone like me isn't that too extravagant. Will the people able to accept that?" Vicar said that. 
Sir Esmir then replied that "The town people wouldn't care for that and instead they will be proud because a hero that saves the town doesn't come from a noble's blood and just someone at the lowest rank of society." 
Lord Framer nods his head as he also said to Vicar, "What Esmir said is right, the people will surely accept it. But do you accept that title?' Lord Framer ask Vicar that question. 
"I'm not sure whether I should accept the title as I'm not the one that saves the town. I know that I also have a part in saving the town but that also means the town guards also deserve the title as they also fought to protect the town." Vicar said that. 
"I know what you mean, they all fought in this battle but it's their duty to do so. You, on the other hand, wasn't even a town guard and let you join in the fight where you should just let us handle it." Captain Callum said that with Vicar. 
Sir Esmir then said after that, "You should just accept that title young man. Besides, you're different from the rest. You able to hold your grounds against the skeleton lord, you're a special young man." 
"I'm not that special, I just had the help from the..." Before Vicar said any further, I immediately stop him as I know what he gonna say next. 
"Vicar! Don't mention me, I think they would destroy me if you do so... Do you forget that my origin was from the demon lord." I said that to Vicar. 
Vicar quickly understands what I'm trying to say and immediately changed the subject. "I understand... I will accept the title of Hero." Vicar said that. 
The three of them didn't even notice the change and that means Vicar had successfully changed the subject without any problem. Sir Esmir was happy that Vicar had accepted the title and ask Vicar if he will be joining the celebration tonight. 
After Vicar finally agrees to join the victory celebration at Lord Framer's place. All of them agree to meet up at Lord Framer's house after they had finished up what they all wanted to do in the evening. Before Captain Callum leaves, Vicar did give back the magic sword that the captain lent to him to fight the skeleton lord. 
With that, all of them left the outer wall and the only one that stays in the area was Vicar. 
"Should we head back to the town?" I ask Vicar as he was still staying in this place. I don't know why but Vicar seems to be looking something at this area. 
"Maybe later, there something I want to do first here..." Vicar said that as he kept looking for something. 
I wonder what the thing that he been looking for in this area. There isn't any stuff that he had a drop in this place, so it's kinda makes me curious about what he been searching for. After a few minutes of searching for it, Vicar still didn't find the thing he been searching for. 
I then ask him what was he searching for, "Vicar? What's actually you been searching in the area, is that thing really important." 
"I'm not looking for a thing, I actually looking for someone..." Vicar's answer was kinda surprising me a bit, he wasn't searching for stuff but an actual person. But who was he searching for, there wasn't anyone that he knows at this place. 
"So would you tell me who is the person you searching for here, I could also help you to find that person," I said that to Vicar as I offer my help to him. 
"Sure, I'm searching for Eli." He said that. 
I was more surprised when he said that name, why would he looks for her. Eli wasn't that important to him, I then thought that he might be feeling guilty about how he commanded the skeletons to kill Eli. Suddenly I remember that I hadn't told him that part yet because we were in the middle of a battle at that time. 
That's must be the reason why search for her right now, Vicar must think that Eli was still alive. He doesn't know the truth yet. I was kinda hesitant to tell him about this as he probably feeling guiltily after this and blame himself for what had happened back then. 
But when I think about it, Vicar does deserve to know what had happened when he was being manipulated by the dark ring. 
"Vicar listen... You shouldn't be looking for Eli anymore." I said that to him as he was still searching for her. 
Vicar looks at me confuse, he must be wondering why I said that. "Why?" Vicar said asking me why he shouldn't be looking for her. 
I then tell Vicar the truth about what had happened with Eli. I mention all of it to Vicar and after he listens to all of it. He didn't believe that he had killed Eli that time. 
"What had I done..." Vicar said that as he started to blame himself for that incident.
"You hadn't done anything Vicar, It was the dark ring fault." I was trying to stop Vicar from blaming himself. 
He shakes his head as he said, "It was because of me if only I hadn't put that dark ring on my finger... She wouldn't have died." Vicar said as he really feels guilty about it. 
I know it would be hard for me to convince Vicar that he wasn't at fault at that time. I will try my best as he wasn't guilty at all as the dark ring had controlled over his action and behavior when he put on that thing on his finger. 
"It's true that you put on the dark ring but it was to protect yourself from Eli's incoming attack, we all don't know that the dark ring would control your body..." I said that to Vicar. 
It's taken quite some time for me to finally convince Vicar that he was not to blame for what had happened before when we were fighting Eli. I'm glad that he had accepted the fact already, I know that Vicar does lead to Eli's death but he wasn't the order of the skeletons to kill her that time. 
"You're right ring, but still I need to search for her corpse and give her a proper burial this time," Vicar said that to me. 
"I wouldn't stop if that you wanted to do now, I will help..." I said that to Vicar. 
With that, we search the area which Eli's dead body should be. But for almost 30 minutes, we still didn't find her body in the area. Which is quite impossible as the body should be at that spot where Eli was killed by the skeletons. 
Something was on my mind, I suddenly remember that we didn't saw Eli was getting killed by the skeletons as we just went ahead to the city gate. There might be a possibility where she was able to survive, she was an undead after all. 
She might get away while we were busy fighting the skeleton lord at the front gate. Should I tell Vicar about this, he might search for her right away. I think it for a moment while Vicar was still searching for her corpse in the area. 
I then decided not to tell Vicar about this as he does look tired in my eyes. He has been fighting all of the skeletons all day long and didn't even have rest. The only moment that he took his rest was when he out of stamina and needed to restore it back. 
"I think we should stop searching for Eli's body..." I said that to Vicar. 
Vicar didn't listen to it as he still wanted to continue the search and will not give up until he found Eli's corpse. I started to think about a way to stop the search and somehow find a good way to make Vicar stop. I then tell him something that would make him stop. 
Like I have guessed, it does make Vicar stop and reconsider whether he should do that or continue to search for Eli in this area. Vicar then thinks for a while as to what he wanted to do next. 
After a few minutes, he finally decided to continue the search for Eli's corpse tomorrow as he picks to visit the guard's infirmary. He then thanks me for making him remember about that and Vicar immediately rushed to the guard's infirmary. 
I also wanted to know the condition of that man right now whether he was still alive or not. But I really hope that he was doing fine and I know that Vicar wouldn't forgive himself if he had died before his wound gets treated.

During these few months, it seemed that Hai Mingjiang did not rest even for a moment as he traveled between the five continents and four seas of the Firmament World.
He mobilized the power of hundreds of thousands of sub-pavilions in the Sky-sea Pavilion to hunt for the remaining evils of the Netherworld Devil Sect, as well as the people of the Yin-yang Palace and the Beitangs, throughout the entire Firmament World.
He caught over six thousand people of the Netherworld Devil Sect but more than 90 percent of them were at the Martial King Realm and below.
The Netherworld Devil Sect people below the Martial King Realm were all killed immediately.
Then, he tortured and forced confessions out of the remaining two hundred martial artists in the Martial King Realm until he finally found the one who mastered the Soul-searching Skill, the person in front of him.
"Su... Su Mo, I'll tell you the cultivation method for finding souls. I just beg you to let me live!" Elder Qi said in a trembling voice as he looked at Su Mo.
His Netherworld Holy Sect was already destroyed and the senior leaders of the Sect were all in hiding. He had hidden all over yet he was still caught by the Firmament Palace.
Now, he only wished to survive. However, thinking of how he had pursued Su Mo in the past, he felt desperate.
"I won't kill you!" Su Mo said and nodded his head.
"You have to swear and also promise that you won't let others kill me! Otherwise, I won't tell you the cultivation method for finding souls even if I die!" Elder Qi said apprehensively as he turned his eyes.
He could not just trust Su Mo's words. Right now, the Soul-searching Skill was the only thing that could save his life.
Before he had obtained a proper promise, he would not tell Su Mo the cultivating method of the Soul-searching Skill.
"Do you think you have the right to negotiate with me?" Su Mo's eyes were icy cold and they pierced right through Elder Qi.
"I...!" Faced with Su Mo's gaze, Elder Qi's entire body trembled. For a moment, he could not speak for fear.
"You don't have the right to negotiate!"
Su Mo laughed coldly and continued, "Speak and you shall live, otherwise, your soul will be drawn out and dissipated!"
Hearing these words, Elder Qi's thoughts turned abruptly. He simply closed his eyes with an expression that said they could do what they wished.
As a martial artist at the Martial King Realm and the protector of Shady Hall, naturally, Elder Qi was not all that simple.
He knew that if he could not obtain Su Mo's promise, once he spoke of the cultivation method, he would die.
Su Mo saw his eyes grow cold and knew that scaring him would not work.
"Alright! I swear that I will not kill you and will not allow any disciple of the Firmament Palace to kill you. If I go back on my oath, I will be punished by heaven!"
After a little while, Su Mo made an oath and gave way a little.
Having finished his words, he swung his arm and a jade slip flew to hover in front of Elder Qi's forehead.
Hearing his words, Elder Qi slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Su Mo for a moment then said in a heavy voice, "I hope you will remember your promise!"
Elder Qi let out a breath in his heart. Almost no one dared to violate such an oath as it would bring down punishment from heaven.
Even if one was not destroyed by heaven, one's luck would be up and in the end, reap what was sowed.
He believed that as the master of the Firmament World, Su Mo would not go back on his word for such a minor figure as himself.
With these words, Elder Qi's Mind surged. He began to carve the cultivation method of the Soul-searching Skill onto the jade slip.
After a few breaths, the carving was done. Su Mo immediately took back the jade slip.
He looked at the content of the jade slip closely. It was indeed a secret skill and it was a willpower type of skill.
"Don't worry! It's definitely not wrong!"
Elder Qi looked at Su Mo apprehensively and said, "You can let me go now, right?"
"No rush, I need to check its authenticity." Su Mo shook his head and did not say any more. He waved his hand and absorbed him into the Divine Map.
Afterward, Su Mo dismissed Hai Mingjiang and began to carefully investigate this Soul-searching Skill.
The Soul-searching Skill was very profound but not very difficult to cultivate. One just had to form a profound formation by using one's willpower and then charge it into another's consciousness ocean to retrieve his memories.
Logically speaking, this soul-searching method could only be used to investigate those who possessed a weaker willpower.
If one were to investigate someone with a stronger willpower, not only would it not be effective, it would also cause great damage to one's own willpower.
Furthermore, this Soul-searching Skill could also wipe away memories as well as investigate them.
However, the Soul-searching Skill was a relatively cruel one. It would greatly damage the willpower of the soul being searched and it could even turn them into an idiot.
This depended on the strength of the person's willpower and the attainments of the Soul-searching Skill.
Of course, if the person using the skill acted on purpose, then it was an entirely different matter!
After examining it for a moment, Su Mo understood it and began to cultivate it.
His willpower was very strong and his comprehension was powerful. For secret skill such as this, he only needed three days to cultivate it to the Minor Completion.
After learning the Soul-searching Skill, Su Mo immediately released Nation Master Qu Tan and Elder Qi from the Divine Map.
"Su Mo, can you let me leave now?" Elder Qi immediately asked Su Mo once he came out.
"Let me try something first!" Su Mo shook his head and opened his left hand, immediately pulling Nation Master Qu Tan to his side.
Then his right hand also opened and pressed against Qu Tan's head.
In a flash, a strong Mind flowed down his hand like a rising tide and charged straight into Qu Tan's consciousness ocean.
Immediately, all of Qu Tan's memories was laid out before Su Mo for his inspection.
It was silent inside the hall as Su Mo calmly investigated Qu Tan's memories.
At the side, Elder Qi was very uncomfortable. He was very worried that Su Mo would go back on his word but right now, he was in the depth of the Firmament Palace. He did not dare to escape and also did not have the power to escape. He could only wait calmly.
Time passed slowly, after about an hour, Su Mo glanced roughly through Qu Tan's memories and released his grip.
Thud!
As Su Mo's relaxed his hold, Qu Tan collapsed onto the ground like a puddle of mud. His face was deathly pale and his eyes were soulless.
A helpless expression appeared on Su Mo's face. Qu Tan was indeed a member of the Corpse Hall. He had hidden on Qingyu Island because of a task of Corpse Hall in its early years.
He had no idea where the senior leaders of the Netherworld Devil Sect were hiding.
Su Mo sighed in his heart. Without clues, it was impossible to find the senior leaders of the Netherworld Devil Sect.
Even if he was matchless in his power, it was still impossible to find these people in such a large place as the Firmament World.
"Su Mo, can you let...!" Elder Qi saw Su Mo finish soul searching and immediately spoke.
Before he had finished speaking, Su Mo opened his hand and grabbed him.
"Su Mo...!" Elder Qi's heart jumped with fear. He thought Su Mo was going to kill him and he was immediately frightened out of his wits.
However, Su Mo was not going to kill him. Instead, he pressed against his head and once again began soul-searching.
Elder Qi's lifetime of memories began to appear in Su Mo's mind.


Su Mo went from the pride of his clan to becoming the butt end of a joke in a matter of minutes. The former King of Mercenaries from Earth was reborn in the body of a boy in a foreign world and had used skills in his previous life to rise to the top among his peers, however, his previous training could only take him so far. The next step in this martial arts dominated world was to awaken one’s Martial Soul.
The awakening ceremony ends in disaster for Su Mo as he awoke a Martial Soul of the lowest level. Such a prodigy is now considered worse than useless as his Martial Soul is far too weak! After becoming the embarrassment of the clan, he discovers that his Martial Soul has a unique property: it could level up! This unique martial soul could shake the heavens. 
It was at this time that Su Mo meets the love of his life but the situation quickly deteriorates when she is taken by one of the most powerful forces in the world. Su Mo must rise from the lowest of the low and reach the pinnacle of power in order to save the love of his live within five years or she will forever be out of his reach.
