Chapter 4: 4
Chapter 4, Heart Demon
In fear, Zhuo Fan tightened a hand over his chest . The pain was so excruciating, it brought him to his knees, mumbling, “What’s going on? Did my cultivation deviate?”
His heart welled with panic . If he deviated right as he built his foundation, the result wasn’t as simple as losing all progress . He would never again be capable of cultivation, he would become a cripple .
But the pain left as soon as it came .
Zhuo Fan stood up and took a deep breath . He couldn’t make heads or tails of it .
Yet the next step brought with it the same heartache!
“No, this isn’t deviation but… heart demon!”
Thinking of this, he began to look for the source of the heart demon . If a cultivator ignored it, he wasn’t far from deviating and becoming a demon .
Zhuo Fan soon found its source, but the result left him feeling discontent .
Before being possessed, Zhuo Fan was a devoted servant . Luo clan’s young miss was very kind to him and so he pledged life-long devotion to the clan . The resentment before death was born out of regret of not protecting the Luo clan .
It was then the Demonic Emperor’s hatred and his resentment fused, possessing his soul and breathing life into his body . And his resentment became a contract with the Demonic Emperor, turning into his shackles .
In short, the Demonic Emperor lived so he could replace him in protecting the Luo clan, or the heart demon would haunt him .
“Blast it! This punk is the worst . He wants me to be a servant?” Zhuo Fan wanted to cry but no tears came out as he kept cursing .
How could the glorious and magnificent Demonic Emperor Zhuo Yifan, the Eighth Emperor of the Sacred Domain, be tied down by some nameless clan?

Yet the heart demon couldn’t be ignored either .
Helpless, he caressed his forehead, “It would be better if a punk like you wished for vengeance instead . This way, it would’ve taken me a few years to kill him . Yet… you went and ruined my life . ”
“Who’s there? Show yourself!”
An aged voice shouted and Zhuo Fan sensed a thick killing intent aimed at his location .
Shaking his head, he sighed and walked out .
Since he got found out, he might as well go deal with that traitorous Steward Sun…
Seeing who it was, Steward Sun smiled with derision, “Humph, I wondered who it could be, when in fact it was just a little bastard . ”
Then Steward Sun turned to Luo Yunchang, paying him no heed .
“Young miss, I advise you to hand over the Returning Dragon Palm martial art to avoid any unnecessary casualties . I don’t think you want that either . ”
“Rubbish, geezer Sun, you traitor . As long as we’re here, you won’t harm a single hair on young miss and young master . ” The Luo clan’s guard captain took a step forward .
Luo Yunchang glared back, her pretty face filled with resolve, “Steward Sun, Returning Dragon Palm is a spirit ranked martial art handed down in the Luo clan for generations . We will never hand it over . ”
Zhuo Fan snorted inside .
He was wondering why the mountain bandits raided the Luo clan . It was all for a mere spirit ranked martial art .
On the Martial Emperor Continent, all cultivation methods and martial arts were divided into five ranks: spirit, profound, earth and heaven . Each in turn was split in low, mid and high . In Sacred Domain, spirit ranked martial arts were at every corner and mere trash in the eyes of a Demonic Emperor such as himself . He had thousands of them already .

It was a total waste to die for such junk .
Zhuo Fan sighed and shouted bored, “Young miss, it’s just a spirit ranked martial art . Just give it to him and I’ll just give you another . ”
All eyes quivered in shock, then looked at him like a nut case .
“Zhuo Fan, quite the cheeky tone you have there . Taking out a random spirit ranked martial art? On what grounds can a fifteen-year-old Luo clan servant do that? Ha-ha-ha…”
Steward Sun threw his head back and laughed, eyes filled with mockery . Even the bandits followed with their taunting laughter, not hiding their ridicule .
While the guards looked at him in doubt . Even his former friends familiar with him looked oddly .
[This kid is usually honest . Why does he speak nonsense all of a sudden? Did the mountain bandits scared him silly?]
[Eh, that must be it!]
With that, all guards changed their looks into those of sympathy .
Zhuo Fan saw through them and just shrugged . His repertoire wasn’t limited to spirit ranked martial art, and even included Demon Emperor’s ancient art, the Nine Serenities Secret Records . But they’d never believe him .
“Zhuo Fan, enough nonsense . Hurry up and look after the young master . ”
Zhuo Fan turned at the scolding voice to find Luo Yunchang in a mask of rage . But her eyes conveyed a trace of pity .

Re: Pokemon Red
A young man is walking on his usual route from school back home while playing Pokemon Go when the driver of a truck loses control and run into the young man ending his life. But the young man awakens and finds he has been reincarnated, and as his favorite games protagonist Red. With the help of his vast knowledge of pokemon and a reincarnation system will he become a pokemon master or will he aim higher? The story will follow close to the games stories (as best as i remember some of them) however there will be some slight to severe alterations as the pokemon world lacks a bit of common sence that would apply to anyworld. As the story goes on regions will change and new pokemon exclusive to those regions will appear like the game. ------------- Hey everyone this is my first novel and a random idea that came to me while i was reading a reincarnation novel here on RR and i was playing a pokemon game on the side and it kinda came to me. l will have polls occasionally to see how people want things to go down or what possible direction to go. Now a couple warnings the first being grammer. I'm not the best at gramer so if bad grammer triggers you in some way its best to just not bother. Second warning and most important is that this is a more mature take on pokemon. Seriously if you grew up with pokemon like me you probably would like some mature pokemon story. So there will be profanity here in there. Not going to see people cursing up a storm except maybe one of the teams. Especialy team skull they got the whole sterotype going. Gore.... honostly not sure if im going to have detailed pokemon death or just have the normal fainting and any death will be in the background or be hinted at. There will be sexual content but im going to have those in side chapters so people who don't care for them can just skip them.

8 273Tabula Rasa : An Unbound Adventure
It starts as many things do: a clean slate, an empty page. What once was set in stone and wholly writ is gone, and all that's left is the vague notion of absence, a fullness lacking.The feeling of being tetherless, pathless, without direction or responsibility is something many would find terrifying. Others might find it freeing - an opportunity to strike out on new adventures and explore the unknown.Either way, first they have to figure out where they are and how they leave. ====== My first novel on this platform! An avid GameLit/LitRPG fan, I decided to start writing this when I seemed to exhaust all of my options for well reviewed content on the site! Inspiration for the world/general feeling is a mix of Azarinth Healer, Abyssal Road Trip, Winterborn, and the Power of Ten series, with a strong reliance on 3.5 and PF1 frameworks as a scaffold for the world. I see Arc 1 as a Robinson Crusoe style coming to terms scenario, lots of exploration of the System, the MC's options, the island and encounters with the denizens and visitors of the Timeless Isle, with a non-zero amount of introspection around their long term goals. I'll publish as frequently as I'm able but don't have a regular cadence planned at the moment.
