There are many things beyond mere man’s comprehension that should never be meddled with.

Ram is a fourteen-year-old delinquent from Bangkok, Thailand, living in the Klong Toey slum on the banks of the Chao Phraya River. He runs with the wrong crowd, and his single mum can no longer control him. He has killed many pets in the neighbourhood for fun, and he’s now ready to move on up to bigger game. The last straw is when he’s accused of attempted rape.

His uncle takes him up into the mountains, for contemplation and meditation, and to try to teach him some self-respect and discipline. He leaves Ram at an ancient jungle temple that has a shrine dedicated to the tall, hungry ghosts. Instead of helping Ram, it manages to get him into even more trouble with the monks.

Ram comes face-to-face with his worst nightmare when he realizes something’s should never be meddled with, and the comprehension that mere material possessions cannot save his damned soul.

"Dianne walks into the room...it seems like it hasn't been opened for a long time. Cobwebs hang from the walls and a musty smell lingers about. There in the other corner of the room, a tall, dusty mirror leans against the wall..."
When Dianne finds a hidden room in the basement of her house, she discovers a mirror with a terrible secret. Will Dianne be able to escape the mirror's evil whispers?

Standing on the stage, Zhao Fu came before the mirror. He felt quite curious as to how much of his power the mirror would be able to reproduce.
The magic formation on the stage was enlivened and countless rays of light spread out. The magic formation slowly spun and the spirit qi in the surroundings quickly flowed into the stage as the mirror gave off a light and shined on Zhao Fu's body.
Zhao Fu felt a wave of power enter his body, which was most likely the mirror copying his power.
However, when the mirror sensed various terrifying powers within Zhao Fu's body that were unreproducible, the light gradually faded and the magic formation stopped.
This made everyone look quite surprised and they did not understand what had happened. It seemed that the mirror was unable to reproduce Zhao Fu's power – the mirror could reproduce everyone else's power, so why could it not do so for Zhao Fu?
However, thinking about what had just happened, they could all make a guess; didn't this prove that Zhao Fu was no ordinary person?
The supervisor looked quite surprised and went up to check on the mirror. He found that there was nothing wrong with the mirror, and that it simply could not reproduce Zhao Fu's power.
However, the supervisor soon took out a four meter tall oval mirror and placed it in front of Zhao Fu and said, "Try this."
Hearing this, Zhao Fu came in front of the mirror and the magic formation was once again activated and gave off boundless light. Countless traces of spirit qi flowed into the stage, and the mirror gave off intense light that was twice as intense as the one from before.
The light covered Zhao Fu and the mirror's power entered Zhao Fu. After sensing Zhao Fu's Divine Bloodline and his other terrifying powers, this light also faded.
Even this mirror was unable to reproduce Zhao Fu's power!
The supervisor now looked quite shocked. He looked at Zhao Fu and thought to himself before taking out a nine meter tall oval mirror. This mirror's sides were made from extremely precious Spirit Wood, and its abilities were incomparable to the two meter tall mirror from before.
"Try this one!" the supervisor said to Zhao Fu.
Zhao Fu felt even more curious as to whether this mirror would be able to reproduce his Divine Bloodline and various powers.
Boom!
The magic formation once again came to life and gave off an intense light. Its aura was evidently many times greater than before, and countless traces of spirit qi gathered as a terrifying wave of power entered the mirror.
The nine meter tall mirror gave off a shocking aura and gave off a fathomless light. Everyone else on other stages looked over, not knowing what had happened.
The light from the mirror covered Zhao Fu's body and gave off immense power as it continuously flowed into Zhao Fu's body.
This mirror was evidently greatly different to the two from before. Not only was it more powerful, but when it detected Zhao Fu's Divine Bloodline and various powers, it did not shrink back and instead tried to reproduce them.
Boom!
An explosion sounded out as the magic formation on the stage spun even faster and even more spirit qi poured into it, and the stage sent this power into the mirror.
The mirror gave off even greater aura and light, and it continuously tried to reproduce Zhao Fu's power.
Crack!
A clear sound rang out as a crack appeared on the mirror, which grew bigger and bigger before the mirror shattered and the pieces fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the supervisor was completely dumbfounded. This was an extremely high-grade mirror and was especially made for special existences. It could even reproduce peak Imperial Bloodlines, and yet this mirror could not reproduce Zhao Fu's power before shattering.
Everyone watching could not help but cry out; they had never thought that something like this would happen. Just when that mirror had given off an incredibly powerful might, everyone had thought that the nine meter tall mirror would be able to reproduce Zhao Fu's power, but it had actually shattered.
This was the first time everyone had seen or heard of such a thing. There was only one possibility, which was that Zhao Fu possessed something terrifying that could not be reproduced.
Just how terrifying was Zhao Fu? Even the highest grade of mirror could not reproduce his power. Everyone felt that he was simply too shocking, and he now seemed even more mysterious.
Zhao Fu was wearing a black cloak and no one could see what he looked like. Everyone tried to guess at Zhao Fu's identity and where he came from, and countless people were filled with curiosity.
The supervisor secretly reported this to Outlander Ten College's higher-ups so they would take attention of him. Perhaps he was the peerless genius hiding within the crowd.
The supervisor understood that not everyone liked to act showily and have the whole world know about them; some truly terrifying geniuses liked to keep a low profile and mix in with crowds. It was these kinds of people who were the most terrifying.
Many similar geniuses had appeared in the past; the second-ranked person in the previous examination had been such a person. That person had seemed incredibly ordinary at the start, but he had revealed terrifying power at the end and defeated the top ten or so geniuses and shaken everyone.
"You don't have to do any more exams, you pass," the supervisor said as he courteously smiled. In his eyes, Zhao Fu would become a major figure in Outlander Ten College in the future.
Zhao Fu nodded and started to walk off before turning and saying to Gou Yan, "Don't take too long!"
Gou Yan looked delighted; Zhao Fu had acknowledged him as a friend. After seeing Zhao Fu's terrifying power, Gou Yan felt that the gap between him and Zhao Fu was too great, so he had planned on not bothering Zhao Fu anymore.
However, he was now pleasantly surprised. Gou Yan grinned as he went up on the stage and stood in front of the mirror. This time, nothing out of the ordinary happened and a person who looked exactly the same as him came out of the mirror.
After the doppelganger came out, it drew a long saber and hacked at Gou Yan. Apart from reproducing the person, the mirror would also reproduce all equipment. Of course, the reproduced equipment were not as strong as the originals and could only last for a short while.
Even though the doppelgangers were at a disadvantage, they were familiar with how the real versions acted and thought, so they were always prepared for attacks.
This made the real versions fall into a disadvantage. After fighting with the doppelganger for a while, Gou Yan had received many injuries and was in a tough spot.


“Ding! Soulbinding has been successfully completed; you will now head to the Heaven Awaken World.” After hearing this, Zhao Fu’s vision darkened as he fell to the ground.

With bleak prospects in the real world, Zhao Fu’s life is turned around when countless crystals fell from the sky one night, which people could use to enter an alternate, game-like world. After obtaining an ancient Chinese empire’s legacy, Zhao Fu uses his intellect and resourcefulness to develop his own empire from a tiny village. However, with enemies both in the real world and in the Heaven Awaken World, he must make brilliant decisions and use creative schemes to survive.

"Aren't you guys excited? Today's the day! We can finally get some results for the experiment!"

"...Maria, again, I'm not interested in your experiment! Not one bit!"

"You're probably the only one who cares about these kinds of things. You're weird, like always."

"That's rude, Arnold! I'm perfectly normal! Also, Sen, you never show interest in anything other than fighting!"

Deep within the Forest of Magic, a trio of humans are arguing among themselves. However, this is the usual for them.

Maria, 15 years old, 157 cm tall. Female. She's the twin younger sister of Arnold. She has straight blonde hair which goes down to her back. Her eyebrows and eyelashes are the same colour. Her irises are purple. Her chest is also of a decent size, being slightly larger than the average.

Sen, 15 years old, 153 cm tall. Male. He's a close friend of Maria and Arnold. He has short black hair which barely touches his ears. His eyebrows, eyelashes, and irises are also black. In addition to his short height, he's also slightly skinnier than average.

Arnold, 15 years old, 168 cm tall. Male. He's the twin older brother of Maria, so his hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, and irises are the same colour as Maria's. His hair is long enough to partially cover his ears.

Maria, who is the only girl in the group, is currently in the lead, with the two boys following behind. That's because Maria is looking for something in the forest, which she left behind during her last trip, for an experiment.

She lets out a sigh as she continues walking towards her destination.

"Haah... You guys... Anyway, once we find the mirror, we'll be heading back to Lindis immediately. It's dangerous to stay in the Forest of Magic, after all."

"I wonder if we'll encounter any Orcs this time... There were only Horned Rabbits and Wild Boars last time." Sen replies, while showing his eagerness to fight.

"...Let's just hurry up." Arnold ignores Sen and prompts Maria to walk faster.

----------

After about 10 more minutes of traveling, the trio starts to let their guard down, a little bit. They have yet to engage in battles against any beasts.

"We're almost there." Maria says as they walk through patches of tall grass.

"This is slightly concerning... We haven't encountered any beasts up until now. Normally we would have to fight something every few minutes, when we're this deep into the forest." Sen comments on the lack of beasts in the area, as he lowers his hand holding his dagger.

Arnold remains cautious and continues holding up his shortsword for the next few minutes. He also finds the lack of beasts concerning.

...

"Eh? The mirror should be around here... Where is it?"

Maria continues to search around a tree, only to find nothing that resembles the mirror which she's looking for.

"Are you sure this is the correct tree, Maria?"

"Of course I am, Arnold! See, I left a mark on this tree a month ago! Just give me a bit more time..."

"... I'll look around this area as well. Just in case the mirror is somewhere else."

As Sen said so, he jumps up a nearby tree, and jumps from one tree to another, disappearing into the leaves. Arnold keeps his shortsword ready, in case they get attacked.

...

After one minute, Sen returns to Maria and Arnold empty handed. "I'm back. I didn't find anything in this area. Did you find your mirror?"

Maria shakes her head in response. "I'm pretty sure that I left the mirror here a month ago... Did someone take it?"

"We're so deep into the forest, I don't think anyone will be around to take the mirror... Let's just return while we still can, we've stayed for far too long." Since the trio has been in the forest for around half an hour, Arnold suggests to return to Lindis soon.

"...Fine, let's go... To think that this is the outcome of the experiment..." Maria hangs her head in disappointment as Arnold leads the trio back.

"Are you fine with returning now? Is the mirror not important to you, Maria?"

"Of course it is, Sen! It's for an experiment after all!"

"Not that. I meant whether you use the mirror often."

"Oh. Then, not really? I have multiple mirrors that I can use."

"Haah... By the way, what was your experiment again? I never remember trifling matters such as this."

"Sen! You... This experiment is not...! I left the mirror in the Forest of Magic for a month to see if it could absorb and contain magic, like magic stones can! This is important!"

Arnold, who was listening to the conversation, sighed as he sympathize with with Sen. Only his sister would think of doing such weird and unnecessary things.

Maria continues without noticing his sigh, though. "But, that's strange, isn't it? What happened to the mirror, then? I still think that someone or something took the mirror..."

"I'm more concerned about the lack of beasts. I think that's more important than your missing mirror." Sen replied.

As if responding to Sen, a group of six Horned Rabbits appear.

"Can't your timing be more accurate... Maria! Sen! Get ready to fight!" Arnold, who was the only one on guard, alerted the other two. Sen prepares his dagger and Maria prepares her magic. Though, Sen is clearly disappointed that there's only six Horned Rabbits.

"Let's just finish this quickly..."

I, Mimin, was found deep in the Forest of Magic when I was a baby.

I was taken in by two different beasts, and they raised me as one of their own.

Born as a human, naturally I was not expected to be able to keep up with the lifestyle of the beasts in the future.

However, soon after being taken in, I somehow grew a pair of ears and a tail, characteristics of a beastkin.

Not just that, I was a beastkin who inherited the abilities of two different beasts.

Thus, I became the only beastkin in the world who has the characteristics of two different beasts.

"Uncle Qian." Meng Chuan gave orders. "Open the armory and let everyone choose from it. After everyone at and above the Marrow Cleansing realm chooses their armor and weapons, immediately head to Mirror Lake Dao Academy."
"Yes." Everyone responded in unison, their eyes filled with fervor and fighting spirit.
The Dao Academies needed to be well-protected. Eastcalm Prefecture City was currently being attacked by the demons. The whole city was in danger. The other Dao Academies were too far to head to. Even the ancestral mansion was over five kilometers away. It was simply too difficult for these guards to cover such a distance. They might perish along the way. As for Mirror Lake Dao Academy, it was very close.
Swoosh. A figure charged into the Meng Manor and arrived at the training grounds.
The figure hurriedly called out, "Meng Chuan!" It was a black-haired elder.
"Fifth Elder." Meng Chuan immediately recognized the person.
"Fairy's orders," said the black-haired elder in a low voice. "Eastcalm Prefecture is in grave danger, so you are allowed to do anything. However, please protect the 3000 clansmen in the ancestral mansion! The five Godfiend family clans will also be the focus of the demons' attack. Also, if Fairy and the others were to die in battle and the demon monarchs win, countless people in Eastcalm Prefecture will flee. You must also flee, but do so alone. You are the entire Meng family's hope. Don't fall into a dire situation."
"Understood." Meng Chuan nodded. He knew what his grandaunt's intentions were.
The demon monarchs were now being held down by the Godfiends. With Meng Chuan's speed, no one could stop him if he wanted to leave! Thus, he was permitted to take any action. She even hoped that he could protect the 3000 clansmen at the ancestral mansion.
If the Godfiends were defeated, the demon monarchs would be free to massacre the entire prefecture. By then, Meng Chuan would have to flee!
"I'll be returning to the ancestral mansion immediately. Are you coming with me?" asked the black-haired elder.
"I'll head over to save Qiyue first. Qiyue is still on the way to Blazing Sun Dao Academy," said Meng Chuan. "I'll go to the ancestral mansion after saving Qiyue."
"Okay." The black-haired elder turned and left. Time was precious.
Swoosh.
Meng Chuan took a step forward and leaped past the yard wall. He was like a wisp of smoke that flew across houses as he headed straight for Blazing Sun Dao Academy. His sensory domain spanned half a kilometer, so he was confident that he could find Liu Qiyue immediately once he was near.
Qiyue is in the Mortal Shedding realm; she's an archer who's not good at close combat. It will be troublesome if she encounters a horde of demons. Meng Chuan's heart burned with anxiety.
They grew up together.
Qiyue was very important to him. He had to protect her. Although his father and Uncle Liu were outside, they had long achieved Force and had years of experience fighting demons on the battlefield. Working together, there were high chances they could deal with dangerous situations. Most importantly, he had no idea where his father had gone. Searching for him would be futile. However, he knew Qiyue had gone to Blazing Sun Dao Academy.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Meng Chuan moved very quickly. Suddenly, he saw something a distance away.
From afar, ugly figures were running on the streets. Some were running on the roofs while others were flying in the sky. Demons were generally taller than humans, and it was common for them to be over ten feet tall. Sometimes, one could even see massive demons about 20 to 30 feet tall! All sorts of demons were maniacally advancing, charging towards Meng Chuan.
There are so many demons. Meng Chuan's heart tightened. From the looks of it, the World Entrance is somewhere in that direction, Meng Chuan guessed. The demons head in different directions once they exit the World Entrance.
There's no way to avoid demons on the way to Blazing Sun Dao Academy. I can only storm my way through. Meng Chuan didn't slow down as he rushed into the demon army.
Under normal circumstances, a mortal realm individual's strength was rather useless against an army. However, Meng Chuan's abilities bolstered his courage. He could sense everything within half a kilometer. With his extraordinary speed, he feared nothing.
Oh? As he ran, he got closer to the demon army. At a glance, he saw many demons engaged in battle.
Human experts were holding them back.
Roar! A wolf demon was entangled by a net. It let out an angry roar but couldn't tear the net apart. Following that, three short lances shot out from a house and pierced through the wolf demon's body. It fell to the ground, devoid of any life.
"Let's charge in." Immediately, five demons charged into the house. The room was filled with traps, and three human experts were lying in ambush.
The moment the demons rushed in, two demons were entangled in ropes before short lances killed them!
Ropes were the easiest to obtain and could be quickly set up. Therefore, it was basic knowledge for humans—who had served in the military—to set up rope traps. Clearly, there were many ropes traps set up in the house. However, the demons were no fools. Only two demons succumbed to the traps before the two-storied building was partially destroyed.
If one were to say that the combat skills of the human experts were very brilliant—with them setting up traps and working together—demons only had one skill. All they did was charge forward and kill!
"From the looks of it, the three of us are about to die here," said an elderly, one-armed man holding a saber as he chuckled.
A single-eyed woman was carrying a short lance sack on her back. She wielded a short lance in each hand and once again threw them at the demons. The threat she posed at short distances—like in the room—was extremely high, but the mantis demon at the very front easily blocked it. The single-eyed woman smiled as well. "The three of us are in the Marrow Cleansing realm. Killing three lesser demons makes our sacrifice worth it."
"Madam, Uncle Zhang, let's do it again. Every demon taken down helps," said a tall man holding a shield and a large axe.
The overall strength of the demons was far greater than that of humans.
For example, in this 18,000-strong demon army that had been deployed, there were more than two hundred demons that could release their demonic aura! As for Eastcalm Prefecture, only about twenty humans had comprehended Force. Although humans could generally single-handedly deal with two or even three demons, the most powerful members of the demon army were the eighteen commanders! These commanders all had top-notch demon monarch bloodlines. They were several times stronger than ordinary Core Condensation humans. These commanders were all capable of crushing the human Core Condensation experts.
The weakest lesser demons among the demons… No matter how brutish they were in battle, they had bodies on par with humans in the Mortal Shedding realm. With the decree in effect, Marrow Cleansing realm experts had to use traps, allowing them to use their cooperative techniques to put up a fight against the demons.
Therefore, even the Godfiends admitted that in the mortal realm, demons could indeed crush humans.
However, Godfiends were no weaker than demon monarchs. As long as the Godfiends won, slaying the ordinary demons would be much easier.
"Kill!" The tall, muscular man, the single-eyed woman, and the one-armed elder went into a frenzy. They braced themselves for a final battle as the three demons lunged forward to tear the three humans apart.
Swoosh.
A saber beam flashed past. The saber beam sliced through the three demons. The three demons were cut in half, and their bodies convulsed on the ground.
Meng Chuan's figure appeared near the house momentarily before he left quickly.
Looking at the three demons that were instantly killed, the stocky man, the single-eyed woman, and the one-armed elder were stunned to see the distant Meng Chuan.
"It's Young Master Meng."
"Young Master Meng saved us." The three of them felt joy from surviving a calamity. They obviously wanted to live, if possible.
"Why would Young Master Meng take the initiative to attack the demon army?" The one-eyed woman was puzzled.
"Don't waste time thinking about it. Hurry up, we need to defend Uncle Zhang's place," urged the tall man. The three of them immediately abandoned the house and went to the next ambush spot.
During a demon invasion, humans used the terrain to their advantage. They set up traps in the entire city. This was the most efficient method. There was really no way for them to defeat the demons if they fought head-on.
…
"There are humans resisting over there. Head there." The demon army was advancing. At the same time, some greater demons led the lesser demons to bring hell upon an area.
The demons could afford to lose a lesser demon for the life of a Marrow Cleansing expert. After all, the Marrow Cleansing experts in Eastcalm City only numbered five to six thousand.
Meng Chuan slaughtered demons along the way. When his saber beams killed more than ten demons, he immediately attracted the attention of two demon lieutenant commanders.
"That human is very powerful. He should be a human who has comprehended Force."
"Surround him and kill him."
"Kill!" 
The two demon lieutenant commanders led over a hundred demons to surround him.
This scene was also noticed by the black bear demon commander, who was half a kilometer away. It was fifty-foot tall, far taller than an ordinary restaurant.
"Deal with that human quickly. Head to Mirror Lake Dao Academy and destroy it." The black bear demon commander gave the order. It had a Black Mountain demon monarch bloodline. Normal Core Condensation bear demons were about twenty to thirty feet tall. However, this one was fifty feet tall… Its strength was several times greater than the typical Core Condensation bear demon. Its body was much stronger, so it naturally took up the position of a commander.
It had immense strength. It could crush an ordinary house with a single step. Its voice rumbled, echoing about a kilometer away.
"Head to Mirror Lake Dao Academy."
"Head to Mirror Lake Dao Academy." 
Many demon lieutenant commanders under its command began repeating the order.
"Quickly, kill this human." The two demon lieutenant commanders who were surrounding him heard the bear commander's instructions. They were also rather anxious as large groups of demons swarmed Meng Chuan.
Head to Mirror Lake Dao Academy? Meng Chuan's eyelids twitched as a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
As the eldest senior brother of Mirror Lake Dao Academy, his choice of first rescuing Qiyue before heading to the ancestral mansion made him feel like he had let down Mirror Lake Dao Academy.
At this moment, he saw the thousand-odd demon army heading towards Mirror Lake Dao Academy. His killing intent was cold.
Once I kill the demon commander, the threat of this demon army will be halved.


In a world dotted with World Entrances to a demon world, demons have invaded humans for centuries. Humanity has united and one of the most ancient sects in the world, the Archean Mountain Sect, has set up an entire education system in the form of Dao Academies and defenses at the World Entrances.
Meng Chuan, a young genius, is an expert at the swift saber. Despite his noble heritage, he has one goal—kill all demons. Scarred by demons because of how his mother sacrificed her life for him, he strives to enter Archean Mountain Sect to get the best resources and training.
Other than cultivation, his only pleasure is drawing. And as he draws, he becomes stronger… 
Enjoy this blood-pumping piece of art in Meng Chuan's journey to slay demons with the help of united human comrades.

001
Marcus opened his eyes to see himself in a mirror that covered the entire wall in front of him. Through the mirror, he could see the room behind him was filled with nothing but grey, smoothstone walls with no ceiling.
He turned to look up at the sky of the strange room, but the only thing Marcus's eyes met was a blindingly bright light. He quickly averted his gaze back to the lower half of the room and started moving closer to the different sections, looking for some kind of way out.
Each corner and surface gave the same result; absolutely nothing. Somehow he had entered a room with no doors, no windows, or even a crack that signified some kind of way through. He quickly deemed the place an impossible box that was now his prison.
Marcus didn't know how long he was trapped in the small space, but it was long enough to give him some rising anxiety and irritation with the silence. It wasn't until the silence was broken, did he realize he was no longer alone.
"How are you this evening?" Said a deep voice in a formally polite tone.
Marcus jumped at the sound of someone else appearing and looked around the room for a source. Despite the man's voice being almost right next to ear, there wasn't anyone there. 
He backed up against the mirror and kept scanning the room, searching for this strange cause. Marcus was starting to think he was just imagining the voice. 
"Behind you actually, you're not the first to be confused by this."
He turned back to the mirror and suddenly the voice had a body. A seven-foot-tall man wearing an all black suit and tie loomed over his reflection. Marcus wanted to get a look at the much taller man's face, yet something made him somewhat fearful of his description, like he shouldn't try to memorize his face.
Marcus whipped his head back to see where the man was standing inside the room, yet there was nothing but the white space behind him.
"I am aware, the set up of this place is a bit strange. Try not to think about it too much and let's begin."
"I-uh, okay . . . but where exactly is this place and what's going on? What are we starting?" Marcus asked while suddenly having a hard time working his tongue. The whole situation he found himself in was rather unsettling.
The man didn't respond, he just tilted his head and gave Marcus's reflection a once over. He circled around Marcus, showing off how he was over a foot taller than him, his dress shoes clacking against the stone while his eyes were glancing back and forth rapidly. Yet Marcus could only watch from the other side of the mirror, not truly seeing the tall man who walked around him.
"Hmm, so you're one of the few who arrive calmly, yet they never remember why they are here." He turned away and sat down on a white chair that just materialized itself out of nowhere. 
Marcus looked back and didn't see a chair emerge behind him, further confusing his thoughts on what this place was. He wanted some answers as to what was going on, but the strangely tall man was not interested in filling him in on the situation.
"Can you please at least tell me where I am?"
"Alright." The Mirror man clapped his hands together and a sheet of paper appeared in his hands. In a single breath, he began reading off the information at his fingers.
"Marcus H. Simmons, age forty-eight; born in [REDACTED], raised by [REDACTED]; Married once to a Mrs. Sarah P. Simmons for nine years, and no children to show for it." 
Marcus felt his heart sank at the reminder of his late wife and that quickly brought his patience to an end. This stranger may have sounded formal in tone, but he was just blatantly bringing up his personal life with little care as to explain what was going one.
"I'd appreciate it if you could start answering my questions, and explaining why you are talking about me like you're going through some odd interview."
Once again, the mirror man ignored his questions, talking at him with no change to his tone. "So I can assume this is you? I do like to double check my cases before I end up sending them elsewhere."
"Just where the hell am I!" Marcus was now raising his voice at the man behind the mirror, debating if he should just throw a fist through it. He was tired of this odd game the Mirror man was playing.
Before Marcus could even wind up the punch, the Mirror man's face changed. For an instant, it didn't seem right, like a strange distortion. He quickly looked straight at Marcus and dropped the paper. It disappeared before touching the ground. 
He then stood up from the chair on his side of the mirror and walked right up to Marcus from behind. The chair vanished in a blink as well, leaving the mirror man and Marcus alone once again.
The reaction speed was so fast, Marcus almost fell backwards, but then he notices a cold presence of the man was somehow behind him. A small thought then went through his head.
'I can't touch him, but he can touch me.'
Just when Marcus thought he was gonna die for his blunder, the Mirror man stood back and inspected his reflection once again. After another circle around him, the Mirror man spoke directly to Marcus for the first time.
"Were you afraid? Scared of what I might have just done to you just now?"
" . . . yes, you startled me." Marcus admitted while trying to fight the urge to look away at the man's face. It seemed to be in vain as the intensity of the man's presence was only making it harder to focus on his features.
"I don't know why you'd be so concerned," He commented while taking a step back, "you can't die twice."

Marcus woke up in a strange room that seemed to defy the laws of reality. Inside, he met a well dressed man in a mirror that gave him a second chance in not only life, but to find his late wife as well. The only catch was getting thrown in a new world of magic, predators, murders, and a body that seems a little too inhuman. Read along in hope that Marcus can survive long enough to find his lost soulmate, before his his new name and title as the Great Abomination makes it impossible to find her.

P.S. - There are Cowboy Sorcerers and a lot of mutilation.

An oval mirror with a black and silver frame above a fountain spouting green water at the center of the large room filled with levitating coffins. While all the hooded students were divided into seven groups as they chattered amongst themselves with excitement. At the front, one of the leaders, a young man with brownish red mid-length hair curving inwards. Looking at his group with his silver eyes directly stating, "Is that all for the new student dorm assignments? Listen up, new students. Here in Heartslabyul, I am the rules. Break them and it's off with your head."
A yawn escapes from a tall tan young man with a thin scar running through his left eyebrow to his cheek as his lion ear twitched inside his hooded robe muttering, "...Uuugghh. The stuffy ceremony is finally over." He stared at students in his line with his piercing green eyes telling them, "We're going back to the dorm. Savanaclaw, follow me."
While another young man with wavy silvery blue hair and eyes while wearing a pair of silver glasses. He looked at them with a smile announcing in a 'friendly tone', "To the new students, congratulations on entering this academy. Enjoy your life here to its fullest. As the dormitory leader of Octavinelle. I will support you to the best of my ability."
"By the way, where did the headmaster go? He flew out right in the middle of the ceremony..." Asked a tall handsome man with shoulder length blonde hair and violet eyes as he pulled down his hood to fix his beautiful hair.
"Abandoning his post..." the voice from the floating tablet responded
"Did he get a stomachache?" The choppy white haired man with red eyes wearing a purple turban decorated in golden ornament patterns questioned.
When suddenly the double doors burst open alarming the students. Crowley announced, "Not at all!"
"Ah, he's here." Stated the red haired man.
All the students  see their headmaster carrying a tied up grey cat/ tanuki creature. Though what caught their attention was behind him was a strange girl with a black armor and someone who they familiar with as their skin going pale except the lion man who growled at him. The pale skinned man with short dark hair with pink streaks sticking out of the sides looked at him in suprise.
"Oya? Mal-" The tall man with horns quickly covered the small man's mouth as he nearly called his name. The armor girl behind him tittled her head cutely.
"Heh, mr.horns your name is Maru?"Maple questioned him as everyone thought 'Maru?! Don't you know who he is?!' and the tall man nodded at her as he removed his hand from the short man as he smirked at 'Maru'.
'To think Malleus is going to be a softie on that girl so quickly.'
The students now notice how the girl's armor exposed her thights most of them blushed on that and the headmaster coughed,"I cannot believe you all. We were missing one new student, so I went to find them. You are the only one yet to be assigned a dormitory. Now step towards in front of the mirror."
Crowley states her and she walks towards in front the mirror. The students were very impatient because she walks so slow and Maple seemed to notice that she asked to 'Maru'."Maru-san can you please go beside the mirror I want something to try first."
She asked to him with pleading eyes as the tall man nodded and did as she asked. The students looked gobsmacked and the small man with pink streaks watched her curious.'What will the child do?' 
As Maru standing beside the mirror of darkness. Maple activated her skill and said,"Cover move."
With that she teleported besides him and thanking him leaving the other students in interest on her especially the floating tablet.
The man who controlled the tablet watched her in his bedroom. His eyes sparked at he looked at her as he trying to analyse her magical power but the screen went fuzzy and is now frustrated."How in the world can't I read her magical power and how did she do that to teleport even I can't read this." The long blue flame haired man who is trying to fix  this as his brother shaked his head as a light bulb  appeared in his head,"Nii-san, perhaps you should investigate it outside for yourselve and ask her about her magic, how is that?" The man looked at his little brother nodded at him then he changed in his robe and his little brother looked happy at him that his big brother for once go to the ceremony personal for once as he waved at him.
Back to Maple and the others...
Maple took a step in front of a pitch black mirror as a theatrical mask appeared surrounded by green flames inside the mirror. Stars appeared in her eyes, 'Woah, its like in the disney movie that I watched with my family as a kid!'
The mask spoke,"State thy name child"
'Since I can't use my real name here I should use my username.' Thought Maple and told the mirror her username,"I'm Maple."
The mask raised a brow at her but sort her anyway,"The shape of thy soul is...
......
........
I do not know." 
"Come again?" Crowley asked looking at the mirror with a stunned expression then the mask started to shiver as it started to speak again. Everyone except Maple wondering why the mask was shivering about for the first time.
'Why am I doing this again?!' The mirror thought.
"Her magic is so bizzare than everyone in this world....The color, the shape, all are nothing. She has power that everyone should be feared yet loved. Therefore, they are suited for no dormitory."
"This cannot be!" the headmaster said, looking down in disbelief. "Not only has an ebony carriage brought to us a female student, she cannot even be sorted into any of the dorms! Just how did this manage to happe-"
Just as the headmaster was busy being lost in his thoughts, Grim used this opportunity to finally break free of his grip and jumped out of his hands and whip both.
"Pwah! Well, if that's going to be the case, why not hand that seat over to me!" Grim exclaimed as he landed on his feet.
"Ah! Now wait just a moment, you tanuki!" Headmaster Crowley said once snapping out of his thoughts, looking toward Grim.
"Sure, sure, that human has some magic in them but I'm so much more better at it than she is!" Grim said with a smug expression. "Let me into the school in her place instead! If you need proof, I'll be happy to show you all right now!"
The red-haired boy who had made the beheading statement threw out a hand. "Everyone get down!"
Grim gave an unimpressive roar and shots flames then the whole room is covered in blue flames.
"Waaaah! Ow, ow, ow! My butt's on fire!" the dark-skinned, white-haired boy wearing the long bangle earrings leapt out of the way, slapping at his behind.
Crowley clutched his head theatrically. "At this rate, the entire school will be drowned in a sea of flames. Someone! Please catch that tanuki!"
"Why don't you hunt him down? He looks just like one of your snacks." The beautiful person was smirking unpleasantly over at the tall, dark-skinned young man beside him.
He yawned and waved a clawed hand dismissively. "Why do I have to? Too much trouble. Do it yourselve."
 Maru tried to protect Maple but she doesn't like the screams of the students so Maple smiled at him,"Don't worry about me Maru those flames won't hurt me so let me try to protect everyone in this room!"
The cool grey eyes stares at him as the tall horned man looked at her in defeat and sighed quietly,"Make sure you aren't getting hurt Maple."
She gave him a nod and helps the white haired man who wears a purple turban. 
As she wanted to help the tanned man a light blue screen appeared in front of her.
[Due the arrival in Twisted Wonderland along with your real body. The stats will increased due the lack of  MP, HP, STR, AGI, DEX and INT you will gained +50 each of it. And you also gained the passiv skill Bizzare luck (No matter how low you DEX is you always has the bizzare luck in any strange situation no matter in real life or in game world).]
Both faes looked at it in interested as Maple read the screen box and pouted but smiled anyway.'Now I can walk at least faster here!'
She is now faster as before as she runs over the man who's butt is on fire and he turns at her in suprised as she activated her skill,"[Loving Sacrifice.]"
As she changed her angel form every newcomer students in this room looked at her in shook as her hair and eyes changed color, white wings appeared on her back with a halo on her head and the whole shebang then blushed heavily at her form. The tanned man looked at her in awe as his butt already healed due the skill she mentally casted on him light of Affection.
'So pretty..' Thought the white haired man with ruby eyes as he watched her to fly to the other who needs their help,'She is truly an angel..'
Maru looked at her in interested as she turned in to her 2nd form and the small man teased at him,"My, to think this girl who quickly warms you up turned in to an cute angel Maru-chan~." The tall horned man blinked at him and turned away as he blushed lightly then looked at the small human girl who turned into an angel as the older fae chuckled at him.
Crowley quickly recovered his awe at the girl and coughed then shouted,"Are you all even listening?!"
The man with lion ears whose also a bit amazed that the girl turned into an angel, crossed his arms and said, "If it's just catching some stupid tanuki, can't you do it yourself, Teach?"
"How many times do I have to tell you, I'm not a tanuki! The Great Grim that will become the greatest magician is me!" Grim yelled angrily breathing out flames around the room to stop anyone from catching him and also didn't noticed that the human girl transformed into an angel or didn't seems to care about that as long he wanted to attend this school. 
"It certainly has moxie. Care to help me, Riddle?" The silvery blue haired man turned to the red-haired man whose name is Riddle. They also both interested at the armor girl who turned into a blue eyed blond haired angel but first they must stop this racoon-cat monster as suddenly someone slammed the door and a long blue haired man appeared in the room looked around this chaos as he slowly backs away however what catches his attention was that girl who the man tried to analysed her magic but failed. What the most attention of her was that she turned into an actual angel he gawked at her in awe as he also silently fanboyed over her and the beauty man with  shouted at him.
"Idia! Close the damn door!"Demanded the beautiful man who is also interested in Maple who turned into her 2nd form,'She looks so adorable I wonder if she let me design clothes for her and looks smaller than Riddle perhaps her height is 145 cm. Compare to that damn Neige she would will be more popular than me and that bastard combine.'
The man did as he was told and Maple has a bright idea how to catch Grim so she warns everyone as she equiped her short sword Crescent Moon. "Minna! Please step aside since it will caught everyone!"
They did as they told as their angel open slightly her short sword then shut it.
[Paralyse Shout.] With that the racoon-cat was suddenly on the ground as she paralysed him with her skill. The two mens who were trying to catch Grim looked at the racoon then at Maple then back to Grim who is still on the ground.
Riddle coughed his throat then raised his magic pen(?) and shouted,"OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!"
"Nygah! The heck is this!?" Screamed Grim who is still paralysed and groaned in pain as a red and black heart shaped collar appeared around his neck.
"Laws of the Queen of Hearts Number 23: 'One shall never bring a cat into a festival.'You being a cat means you've broken the rule. I shall have you leave at once." announced Riddle as he and the silver haired man threw Grim out from school that makes Maple sad as she transformed in her original form.
"Wow, as wonderful as ever. Any and all magic gets sealed by your Unique Magic, Riddle."Azul praised the short man.
While muttering to himself, "I want it... No, I wouldn't ever want that cast on me."
Then they both turned to Maple the one who paralysed the grey racoon cat the silver man thought,'She surely is very interesting I can't wait in the future to proper meet her this year and I will also glad if the headmaster let her as a student here.'
'Mmph to think the headmaster would let this girl attend this school, at least I am quit happy that she is smaller than me. I wonder how old this girl actual is...' Thought the brownish-redhaired boy whose face looks like the Artoria Pendragon from the nasuverse who also grew interest on that armor girl.
 She felt sorry for Grim when someone tapped her shoulder behind her as she turned around and saw a long blue haired man who has yellow eyes. He still fidged as he wanted try to say something but a light blue screen appeared in front of them that everyone can see that since the havoc is now over. The man besides her also looks at the screen and look shocked then he looked at Maple the back to the screen.
[As reward for helping the students in the ceremony you gained the skill heat restistance low and blue fire magic as bonus.]
Well it seems our little Maple has now the entire attention from everyone also Idia looked at her whole stats and starts to scream.
"What in Twisted Wonderland do you have those stats and how is it possible?!"
Maple scratched her head a little as she trying to explain to him alongside the headmaster because he also was curious why one of the students just screamed as she was done their eyes growing big as well everyone in this room then Crowley asked,"What some kind of quest do you accepted to landing here in this school miss Maple?"
As Maple trying to remember but her head is kind of fuzzy since she arrived at this world then looked at the screen to look this quest however it doesnt appear and shaked her head then bowed her head politely,"I'm sorry I can't remember it and the screen quest doesn't appear either!"
Every students stiffted as they saw that the girl bowed her head at the headmaster who also uncomfortable because she was polite with on own and he coughed his throath,"Then we could try with the mirror of darkness to how to get you home and everyone please go to you dorms since the ceremony is now over."
With that everyone left even Idia who actually wanted to talk to Maple also grumbly left and Maru who gets shoved at the small man also wanted to stay here. Now its just two of them.
"Now then lets see if the mirror of darkness bring you back home." Said the crow-man.
As Maple nodded at him as he said that she should step in front of the mirror again and Crowley  instructed,"Now enter the Gate, and picture your home clearly in your mind..."
Maple pictured her home in japan and her friends she played in the virtual reality game together.
"Oh, Dark Mirror! Guide these two back to the place they belong!" Crowley announced as there was no reply from the looking glass.
The mirror began to speak,"Its is nowhere..."
"Come again.." The headmaster blinked at the mirror and Maple looked in defeat but tried to be cheerful,'It seems I can't go home right now unless I clear this quest..'
"The place they belong is nowhere in this world...
It does not exist." Told the mirror of darkness as he vanished again.
Crowley looked at her and asked,"Where exactly do you actual came from?"
Maple told her homeland and the headmaster started to think,"Since your here and you have magical power you can attend this school for awhile. We also have unused dorm that I renovated so you can stay here since I can't throw a penniles teenager on the streets and I also help you to find a way home since I am so gracious."
She looked at him happily and smiled brightly,"Thank you so much Headmaster."
Crowley looked at her again and coughed his throat."Now then let me lead you where you going to live miss Maple but before that I must call my friend to customized your schooluniform."
Maple understand and smiled as small flowers appeared behind her.

What would happen if Maple was thrown in another world called twisted Wonderland. Thanks to the bug in the game. Now watch Maple how she get return back or will the boys fall for her cuteness and doesn't want to let her go.
