The Urban Dao Child. Chapter 245
Advertisement
Yang Dao sat on the chopper with Feng Yun he laid back in the seat and relaxed. The hard work did tire him. He asked in a low voice, "Where are we going?"
The two leopards sat beside him and placed their heads in his lap. Feng Yun replied, "You are departing on a new adventure with XiaoBai. Dao, be very careful when you go out there. Understand?"
The calm lady sounded unusually concerned and anxious. Yang Dao nodded to her. He asked, "How long I will be gone for? I will need to make arrangements for a lot of things."
Feng Yun said, "You will be gone for a month at the least. Your performance there will decide the actual duration of your trip. Also, you can make the arrangements now. Once the chopper lands, you will have no internet access."
Yang Dao picked up his phone and called Kylie Dew after a long time. The call was answered in an instant. An excited voice sounded from the other side, "Well, how come you recalled to call me, Dao?"
The boy smiled wryly and said, "Actually, I need a favor from you."
Kylie Dew fell quiet and asked after a few moments, "What is it?"
"Can you look after the growth of the AI program I designed in my absence?" his words were like a nuclear missile hitting the target. At this moment, Kylie Dew was shocked, her pupils were dilated to the limit of the human body.
She asked, "What did you just say?"
Yang Dao repeated himself and said, "I have my maid Lisa at home. You only need to go my place once a week only and check the growth rate. I will have your role set as a moderator in the system. How about it can you do it?"

Kylie Dew replied, "I am going right now. Also, can I see the code?" she was obviously in fan girl mode. Yang Dao agreed to her and after disconnecting the call he called Lisa about this. He sent a message to his friends saying that he is going out for a month. Just when he was done with all this he got a call from an unknown number.
He connected the call and found that the caller was a girl. He asked, "May I know who is this?"
The other side spoke, "I am Aina, from the A1 car race. I came third. Do you not remember?"
Yang Dao recalled how the girl just took his number and left. He asked, "Yes, I remember. I did not expect you to call me. So, what's up?" his tone was calm and casual.
The girl said, "I saw your team winning the first prize in the inter university so I decided to call you and congratulate."
The two people exchanged a few plesantries and the girl asked, "When will you be back to race on the circuit?"
Yang Dao thought about it and said, "I don't know but probably when the new season begins. Also, Aina, I need to go, I wish you all the best fro the season."
Aina replied him with a thanks and the two people disconnected the phone. That girl did not call him to suck up to him but was just congratulating her idol for his victory. Feng Yun smiled and said, "We are here."
Yang Dao looked outside the window and found a island surrounded by the sea. The island looked like a sphere with eight cliffs standing around it. Feng Yun smiled and said, "The eight cliffs represent the eight laws of heaven. The island is called gateway. It is completely protected from the satellites and human probes."

Yang Dao nodded as he heard these words. The sylph peeked out from his hair and said, "Master, the elemental fluctuations are very strong here. Unlike the other places. This place is somewhat like my home."
Feng Yun nodded and said, "Little one, you are quite sharp."
Sushi blushed at the compliment and hid in Yang Dao's hair again. The chopper flew closer to the island and Feng Yun said, "The chopper is piloted by my trusted shadow guards. So, it is not a problem. Come let us go."
Yang Dao only understood her meaning when she opened the door and Feng Yun jumped out of the cabin. The boy held the two cubs in his arms and jumped out as well, since he was running low on the source energy. He directly bent the wind to fly to the island. Feng Yun led him to the center of the island.
The pair landed in a clearing. The island was covered in lush green grass, a gentle breeze blowing around. On the four corners of the clearing, four stone platforms were visible. They all had different engravings on them. Yang Dao noticed these engravings and he sensed the four different elements coming from them.
He let the cubs go from his embrace and asked, "What do we do now, Sister Yun?"
Feng Yun smiled and said, "Be patient, let the others come over."
Yang Dao nodded and sat down on the lush grass. He said, "I will take a nap." and laid down on the grass directly. This place made him feel like he was in a paradise. So warm, calm and serene. The felling was flooding his heart and as he laid down, the wind started to brush over him gently, the grass around him became more radiant.
Sushi was flying around suddenly stopped. Her gaze was locked with Yang Dao. The boy was now covered in a dim gloden light. Her tiny body shivered as she asked, "Goddess, is this Dao resonance?"
Feng Yun nodded with a smile. She said, "You seem quite knowledgeable, little one. It is indeed Dao resonance. The one who sleeps in front of us is none other than the Dao Child. This place is the Dao is strongest in the whole world. This is why he is at ease here."
Sushi had knelt down on the ground, and she prostated herself to the boy who slept with a smile on his face. Feng Yun said, "Dao resonance will heal him up. As for the other things related to Dao resonance, you will discover in the future. Now go around and play."
Sushi nodded and flew a distance away but she did not leave like earlier. Yang Dao being the Dao Child was something shockening to her. Soon, three figures appeared in the sky. They were none other than Ryu Jinshi, Laohu Bai, and Atsuji Kurogame. The time of departure was close.

Humanity Extinguished
I had the same nightmare again. The loss of my first life continues to haunt me, but now it aches like an old wound. A more grievous injury to my psyche was the losses yet to come and the inevitable hellscape I would return to again and again. Reincarnation is my curse. The lives themselves weren't all that bad. Losing people you cared about hurt and all, but even that pain was preferable to experiencing the nothingness between lives for months at a time. It was enough to drive anyone mad. Now I have to focus on breaking this horrible cycle. Thankfully I have all the time in the world. Trace is an average man driven by extraordinary circumstances in an indifferent and cruel world. His reincarnations give him a few key advantages but also take a heavy toll on him. He lives in a world where magic is uncommon and underpowered compared to the limitless physical adaptations you can acquire by getting your hands a little bloody. This story is one of hardship and terrible lows, but also monumental achievements and grand heights. The main character has flaws. While some of these flaws will fade with time, others will worsen. Thank you for taking the time to read my synopsis. I plan to release 2-3 chapters a week. Cover art is 'The Siege and Destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans Under the Command of Titus, A.D. 70' by David Roberts.This art is in the public domain.

The Dreamside Road
Five years after the world fell into chaos, a treasure of artifacts is up for grabs. The relics of the Dreamside Road offer a power that could help rebuild or annihilate what remains. Orson Gregory is an adventurer for hire, but hunts this treasure for answers, not glory. Enoa Cloud’s late aunt helped hide the Dreamside Road, but following in her aunt’s supernatural tradition offers her as much peril as power. Together, Orson and Enoa battle a magic-obsessed militia, clash with a host of rivals, and face constant adventure on their journey to find the Dreamside Road. *Updates Monday and Friday The Dreamside Road is now on TopWebFiction! Vote so people know this exists. _____________________________________ NOTE: The Progression tag applies specifically to Enoa. Also, fair warning, that element doesn't enter the story until she begins her studies. Content: Main characters range in age from teenagers to people in their thirties and older, but it will not contain gratuitous violence or explicit sexual content. It also won’t shy away from implication, anything to make this story and its world feel more real. Characters will freely allude to potentially triggering topics, including living with a disability, facing terminal illness, coping with trauma, surviving societal destabilization, and the consequences of bigotry. At its most intense, the Dreamside Road is a hard PG-13. Worldbuilding: This is not a story with a lot of early exposition scenes, conveniently explaining ‘magic systems’ and political dynamics. Readers will learn, progressively, as the characters do. This story/world has a ‘magic system’, or rather, a set of systems, but the effort to quantify and understand the truth of the setting plays a role in the backstory, as well as in some character motivations. In that same vein, not every character has a firm grasp on the nature of their world, and not every piece of dialog from every character should be taken as entirely truthful Worldbuilding. Also, this isn't the softest Sci-fi. There are at least some basic explanations given for various elements, but Royal Road does not give me a spectrum to choose from. Given the choice between hard and soft, let's just say The Dreamside Road won't be cited in any college Physics papers. Setting and Theme: The Dreamside Road walks the line between fantasy and science fiction and deals with finding one’s place in a changing world. Many of the characters in this story are United States natives and the story begins in the United States, my homeland. However, knowledge or interest in this country is not necessary to understand the story, especially as it progresses. Also, as this is a novel that deals with societal collapse and while that damage may be widespread, in story, I don’t want to overstep and critique the culture of others’ unless I have particular knowledge in a given area. Ultimately, the Dreamside Road is American in the same way Harry Potter is English, fantasies that do not have a full secondary world, but with enough original elements to fully diverge the setting from our the real world.
