Chapter 37
Minutes later, Tang Ling stood up after he had completely recovered . After the exhaustion and his weakened state, the benefits of the Level 3 vicious beast meat were on full display .
Overflowing power once again surpassed Tang Ling’s old limits .
Su Yao lit up the oil lamp in the room . His silhouette jumped under the flickering candle and his face finally came into the light .
“Aren’t you surprised?” Su Yao’s appearance was reasonable, but did he not have any questions about the Level 3 vicious beast meat? Tang Ling was rather curious .
Tang Ling did not understand the concept of the Level 3 vicious beast meat, but the surging power in his body told him it must be precious .
Su Yao widened his grin at Tang Ling’s question . He chuckled as the heavy emotions on his face dissipated .
Clamping the cigarette, his eyes revealed a ridiculing gaze although he did not reply Tang Ling’s question directly . “How does swallowing raw Level 3 vicious beast meat feel? It must be exhilarating, isn’t it?”
Tang Ling did not reply, but the sweaty hair matted to his forehead stated it all .
“The fortunate thing is that you didn’t die from the raw power, but the unfortunate thing is that most of the power was wasted . ” Su Yao simply concluded but his words were cold hard facts .
“Yes, I wasted a lot of it . ” Tang Ling was being frank .
“But there must be a way to not waste the energy, is there not?” Tang Ling added as he looked at Su Yao . His look flashed with a trace of yearning and begging like a real teen begging his senior or his parents for something .
His look somewhat caught Su Yao off guard .
This little rascal! It’s best not to get too close . Even if he is weak, there are thorns around him . If it wasn’t for…
The past seemed to trouble him as the ridicule in Su Yao’s eyes slightly faded, and the rigid look on his face also somehow softened .
Su Yao carelessly let Tang Ling notice the moment the changes happened on his face, but he did not mock the boy anymore . Instead, he answered directly, “Of course, there is . Wait until you get into the First Reserved Camp . You’ll understand that the power in your body has a precise operating trajectory . Only then can you completely absorb and utilize the power . ”

An operating trajectory? Tang Ling wanted to ask more, but he felt it was stupid of him . If he could really get into the First Reserved Camp, would the problems not solve themselves?
In the next moment, Su Yao entered his angry mode as he stood up, and stepped over to Tang Ling to grab the boy by the collar . “Remember that pot of meat soup? The reason why you can absorb the power was that it was cooked with a special recipe . Even if it was handled in the simplest way and a lot of wastage was produced, at least, it didn’t kill you . ”
“Did I spend that much effort to save you so that I can watch you stupidly die in front of me?”
Tang Ling was treated poorly by Su Yao, but he did not feel offended at all . Instead, he felt a very tiny bit of warmth .
Truth be told, Su Yao’s looks were scary . He was overflowing with vitality . His extremely short hair coupled with his powerful mustache and beard depicted him as a fierce and tough person . His deep facial features and sharp edges brought a sense of prestige to his rugged looks .
At the edge of his eyes, there was a very deep scar that extended all the way to his mouth . Whether he was laughing or angry, a dangerous and scary air emanated from his face .
However, Tang Ling felt a strange sense of warmth as he felt closer to Su Yao . Therefore, he sincerely said, “I’m sorry . There won’t be a next time . ”
It shook Su Yao again, but as though he suddenly thought of something, he put Tang Ling down and turned around in order to cover his embarrassment and some unknown emotions . He cleared his throat before he growled, “Since you’re apologizing, I won’t beat you up this time! But, kid, I’ll warn you that the ingredients of the recipe aren’t something that you can get easily . I don’t have any of them with me now . Moreover, this is Level 3 vicious beast meat, so the recipe will be different .

“Before you get into the training camp, don’t touch this piece of meat anymore . Wasting in this era is the equivalent of a death sentence . I won’t kill you, but I won’t hesitate to break all your bones . ” Su Yao then turned around again, baring his teeth as he threw his fists into the air and tried to scare Tang Ling .
“Okay,” Tang Ling answered quickly .
Su Yao was shaken for the third time . God damn it! Has this rascal turned into a Siberian husky?
Tang Ling did not notice the minute emotions on Su Yao’s face . He looked at the man with his yearning expression and asked, “The dream… What’s that all about? Can you tell me about it, U-Un… Uncle Su Yao?”
The term “Uncle Su Yao” sounded a little awkward from his mouth, but it was only natural to Tang Ling .
When his pain was temporarily suppressed and he started to recover his emotions, everything Su Yao had done for him was a debt of gratitude for him . How would he not know about it?
Cough .
Su Yao choked on the smoke of his cigarette as tears almost came rolling out of his eyes . He glanced up at the ceiling after coughing for quite a while .
Does Uncle Su Yao not know about it? Tang Ling was puzzled .
Everything in the Mysterious Store was overwhelming to him . He knew that the place was an important path for him to become stronger from now on, but in the dream, life and death were only a line apart .
The more he could wrap his head around it, the better . Kun certainly would keep his mouth sealed .
Tang Ling thought Su Yao knew something about it . Otherwise, he would not have warned him before he entered the dream . Besides that, he would not have reacted so nonchalantly towards the origin of the Level 3 vicious beast meat . The man seemed to know about the reward after the dream .
The reward must be fantastic which was why a piece of Level 3 vicious beast meat was not valuable in his eyes .
In the end, after Su Yao seemingly discarded all the efforts of choking on his own smoke, he flung the cigarette butt away and said directly, which was unusual for him, “I’m sorry . I really don’t know a lot about the strange dreams . I only know that there are only a handful in the world who can enter the dream . That means that even a majority of the Purple Moon Warrior has no right to enter the dream, and neither do I . ”
“That’s why I can’t provide you with help with the dream . The only thing that I can, ahem, help you with is telling you about the rumors I heard: Give it your best every time you enter the dream . I’m saying that you must use all the resources and help you can get and try your best to keep yourself at your prime . It’s all for the sake of survival . ”
Up until this point, Su Yao was afraid that Tang Ling could not understand him, so he added, “Reality affects the dream . You’ve experienced it once, and you should understand it . So, if you are holding a knife here, you’ll be holding a knife in the dream . ”
Listening to what Su Yao said, Tang Ling felt a little excited .
Su Yao did not really reveal much, but the severity of life and death in between his words was self-explanatory . At least, he now knew what he must use after he entered the dream .
Although Su Yao did not mention anything about the Dream Coin, he focused on the survival problem instead .
Tang Ling seemed to have gained more knowledge about the difficulty of the dream now .
He thought of Kun . It seemed like the temptation from that mysterious man was not something that he could easily get his hands on .

RETURN, A Dark Lord story.
Return, Synopsis In the Triangulum Galaxy, one of a number of galaxies controlled by the Empire of The DARK LORD, JENNA OF CHRISTOS finds herself on the run after she killed a patrolman. Becoming pilot on a pirate craft, several years later she and other pirates are devastated by attacks of the Imperial Legion and are now trying to regroup. Seeking funds that will help them hide out for a time, their leader THURGOD DRISTA and JENNA meet with a PROFESSOR of galactic history who gives them information, a map and an ancient artifact described as a singing stone. He tells them that this could lead them safely to a legendary treasure trove, called THE DARK LORDS HOARD, on the forbidden planet TRILLA. The hoard is supposed to belong to the ruler of the empire who vanished close to one thousand years before and is presumed to be gone. The treasure is believed to be hidden in a tunnel accessible from the planet surface but no one who has gone into the tunnel has ever come out alive or sane. Leaving the pirate hideout immediately after the meeting and avoiding a major attack by the legion, the pirates travel to the galactic rim for supplies and to leave a false trail. With them they take the PROFESSOR and ILISA, a serving girl. However CAPTAIN TRASKA the commander of a Legions task force called Detachment T, has guessed the pirates intentions and tracked them to the rim. The pirates leave on their next leg to TRILLA unaware that CAPTAIN TRASKA with his force of heavy cruisers, is already there and lying in wait for them. Allowing the pirates to land, including an unexpected second pirate ship, CAPTAIN TRASKA sends a force of troopers to capture both craft and their guards. Before they can do this, THURGOD, the PROFESSOR and others, numbering thirteen altogether and led by JENNA entered the tunnel complex. JENNA, warned by ILISA that she must be the one to hold the singing stone, carries it in the hope that it will guide her and her companions past the many dangers in the tunnel. Shortly afterward, VIS VISTRICER the Legions overall commander travels to Trilla in an armoured planetoid, a spacecraft as large as a moon. On his arrival at TRILLA, VIS VISTRICER meets with CAPTAIN TRASKA but before they can do much, they are both surprised by one of the LADIES OF THE CIRCLE who is waiting for the outcome of what is happening in the tunnels. In the tunnels, JENNA leads THURGOD and the rest of party through many dangers and tests. Four are killed in the tunnels but the rest finally come to their goal where, to their surprise, in a cavern they meet the DARK LORD who is alive and very well. He has been waiting for them so he can return to the Empire. JENNA finds out that the patrol officer is alive and that she and many others have been manipulated all this time by the DARK LORD. She also finds out that ILISA, whose real name is JURA, is a member of the CIRCLE OF LADIES and was sent to teach JENNA many years before on her home planet of Christos. The DARK LORD restores and fulfills a promise to release JURA from her service as a LADY. He next has each pirate declare their own fate and takes them to the surfaces of TRILLA. There, at their election, he executes two of the pirates while JENNA is pardoned and some have the death penalty reprieved. The rest will face the courts of the Legion. VIS VISTRICER is raised to the rank of STAR COMMANDER, the highest rank in the Legion while TRASKA becomes a COMMODORE. The DARK LORD returns to Tihab, the administrative centre of the empire. There he takes up his residence in a surprised and disconcerted imperial palace. JENNA is returned by COMMODORE TRASKA to the planet Christos where she is welcomed by the planets rulers and her family, some of whom were aware of some of what was happening.

8 105Liber Nominum Universalia
In this world there are things and beings who roam freely in the corners of our visions and places where the light of the sun and moon do not reach. There are things that raindrops have never touched, lands where humans may rarely set foot. And there are those whose names have been forgotten. Maeno Ayumu wanted to be one of the majority who lived without the knowledge of such things. But one summer, a pocketbook and a black cat opened the doors to the Other Side- doors he could no longer keep locked. And thus begins his journey towards learning forgotten names and forging unlikely bonds, so that those who live in darkness may never fade forgotten. Cover picture taken by Julissa Helmuth
