The Immortal's Wine Store Chapter 275
Advertisement
The next morning, everyone was excited about the third assessment. If they managed to pass this final test, they would become disciples of the Heavenly Sword Tower!
"What do you guys think would be tested in the final assessment?" Beiming Chu asked. He was truly curious about the final exam especially after Lu Sulan spoke about it. Although she said that it was the easiest exam, Beiming Chu was a bit skeptical about that. Who knows maybe Lu Sulan might have said those words to fool them...
Zhu Ren shook his head after a moment of contemplation. He also had no idea as to what would happen during the next assessment. However, he told himself to never fail it.
"No matter what will be tested, I'm certain that all of us will pass." Princess Sylvia muttered with certainty in her tone.
Prince Dante smiled at her words, but he internally agreed with what his sister said. It wasn't because he was arrogant, but it was his trust towards everyone's talents.
The venue for the final assessment was another huge room. However, there was nothing noteworthy about this room except for the door-like object at the center.
This object emitted a deep aura, but the thing that made everyone wary was the feeling of being seen through every time they glance at this door.
Prince Dante went closer towards it, his gaze carrying great curiosity. His sister and the other two followed behind him when they saw him walking towards this 'door'.
Upon coming at a close proximity to this 'door', Prince Dante exclaimed when he realized that he could actually see his reflection on it.
"Is this a mirror or a portal?" He muttered in a daze.
"It looks like a portal, but it also looks like a mirror. What could this thing be?" Beiming Chu said as he glanced towards this 'door'.

It wasn't just them, all the remaining applicants came closer to this 'door' and inspected it carefully. They wanted to find out what kind of object it was since it might be related to the next assessment.
However, none of them were able to tell what it was even after looking at it for more than thirty minutes. They could shake their heads regretfully after failing to guess what it was.
"Where's the overseer? It's almost the start of the final assessment but I can't see any elders of the Heavenly Sword Tower inside this room-" Just as that applicant uttered those words, he suddenly felt a cold gaze piercing through his back. He slowly turned around and saw the familiar face of a woman.
"Young Miss Theia! I mean Elder Theia! This..." He felt horrified at the sight of this beautiful grim reaper.
'Is she the overseer for the last assessment? I thought that this would be the easiest one... Was Elder Lu Sulan messing with us yesterday?' The applicant wanted to cry, but no tears came out...
Those who knew who this woman was immediately stood like statues when they spotted her. As for those who came from outside of the Silver Wing Empire, they gazed at her deeply.
Theia was after all a stunning beauty with a great figure. If not for her notoriety, she would have dozens of suitors lining up her door.
"Woah! Who is this beautiful elder? She looks very pretty!" An applicant exclaimed in admiration as he looked at Theia's devastatingly beautiful face.
Smack!
Suddenly, someone smacked the back of his head and this made him furious.
"Hey! What the hell is that for?!"
"Brother, you are not a resident of our Silver Wing Empire, so you might have not heard of that woman. Listen closely or you might regret it later. Her name is Theia and she is a waitress in Sect Master Jiu's Immortal Wine Store. Don't provoke her if you don't want to die without a proper burial."

Those that heard those words immediately retracted their filthy gazes off of Theia, but there were still a few who failed to contain their lustful gazes.
"Insolent fools!" A cold voice echoed inside the room as a wave of powerful true essence swept through everyone like a gust of wind!
Swoosh!
The dozen applicants who were ogling at Theia fell to their knees in just a blink of an eye!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The remaining applicants who managed to hold their lust were looking at the scene with horrified expressions. They praised themselves for listening to the other's advice.
"If this happened outside of our Heavenly Sword Tower, I would have already killed you all. Thank you lucky stars that you are currently applicants who might become disciples of our sect." Theia uttered in an icy tone, making everyone gulp nervously.
At the far corner, Prince Dante and co. smiled at the scene with a hint of schadenfreude.
"They actually dared to look at her with such obscene gazes. Truly tired of living. Hmph!" Princess Sylvia said in a mocking voice.
Prince Dante and the other two chuckled at her words.
Theia scanned the crowd with an indifferent and cold look. She could see a few familiar faces, but she did not even bother to greet them.
After a moment of silence, Theia's cold and emotionless voice echoed inside the room.
"You guys have already seen the Mirror of Truth and Deceit. It is the portal-like door that you see in front of you. This thing will play a significant role in this assessment, but you guys have nothing to worry about it. The only thing you needed to do to pass this assessment is that you must be able to pass through the Mirror of Truth and Deceit. As for those who would fail in doing it, you can scram out of this building!"
Mirror of Truth and Deceit? Just what was this thing able to do?
Everyone was curious, but nobody dared to raise their hands to ask about this.
"Elder Theia, I have a question." Princess Sylvia raised her hand as she asked fearlessly.
Theia glanced in her direction and said. "Speak."
"What is this Mirror of Truth and Deceit and how could we pass through it?" Princess Sylvia asked.
Everyone turned their gazes towards Theia and waited for her to answer.
Theia's eyes remained calm as she answered in a dull tone. "This thing is capable of seeing through your hearts and as for how you can pass through the Mirror of Truth and Deceit, you will know soon..."

Changement : Version Pile [French]
Notice: This story is in French, not in english, mainly because of my poor english. I may translate it later if I get better, and hopefully I will. _ Les cris de souffrance résonnent dans ses oreilles, dans sa tête et dans son coeur. Cette dernière image, ces derniers instants, ces morts incompréhensible, rien ne sera plus jamais pareil pour Nils Nocquat. Il sombre, et dans les ténèbres, découvre la fache cachée de son monde. Qui est coupable? Démon, Ange et autres Sonen, tous se renvoient la faute, et maintenant, Nils Change, il doit faire un choix. Indécis, il lance une pièce. Pile. Il a choisi son camp. Il deviendra un Démon, le meilleur ou le pire de tous, ce n'est qu'une question de point de vue. - Author's note: this story is a concept. During the first chapter, the main character is faced with a major decision, which will change his life forever, and, not knowing what to do, he decide to play heads or tails, and let fate choose for him. And so there will be two versions of this story, one for each of the result, and their consequences for the main character, as well as all those around him. Here, he got tails. Note de l'auteur: Comme dit plus haut, cette histoire sera en français, car je ne suis pas assez bon en anglais. De plus, cette histoire est un concept un peu particulier, le personnage principal va se retrouver face à un choix décisif qui va changer sa vie pour toujours, et, ne savant pas que faire, il va jouer à pile-ou-face, en laissant le destin décider pour lui. Il y a donc deux versions de cette histoire, une pour chacun des résultats de son lancer. Lien de l'autre version : https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/28318/changement-version-face-french Je vous encourage à ne pas lire les deux versions, ou en tout cas, à ne pas les lire en même temps. Elle sont assez peu similaires, mais des choses vont, logiquement, être répétées, et les confusions risquent d'être rapides, surtout au début des histoires. Dans tout les cas, ces deux histoires vont s'éloigner assez rapidement, tout en restant intrinsèquement liées par leurs personnage principal. Libre à vous de choisir la version qui vous plaît le plus, sachant que vous n'aurez pas besoin de lire les deux pour comprendre toutes les intrigues, elles sont absolument indépendantes l'une de l'autre. Le seul chapitre identique dans les deux versions est le prologue. C'est la deuxième fois maintenant que je publie quelque chose que j'ai écrit, mais ça ne me rends pas meilleur en terme d'orthographe et de grammaire, donc si vous relevez une erreur, où même si vous remarquez des incohérences, n'hésitez surtout pas à me le faire remarquer. Toute critique, qu'elle soit positive ou négative, est appréciée. En terme de rythme de publication, je pense sortir un chapitre par semaine dans chacune des deux histoires.

Dhanurana
Out of an unnaturally quiet night, a bedraggled woman in noble finery requests access to the southern capital. Who she is has been lost to time for most, but her continued existence will throw everything further out of balance. Janurana had barely survived her royal house's destruction at the hands of foreign invaders, surviving day by day in the scattered pocket forests and arid shrub lands, constantly escaping the ghosts of her past. The south has barely survived their recent Pyrrhic victory against the north immediately followed by a coup. The north is bloodied but unbowed, on the brink of civil war, but still ready to take up arms against the southern invaders. The leaders of the south cannot afford another obstacle. And Janurana is just that. Yet her chance meeting with a woman expelled from the warrior class named Dhanur gives them both a chance to avenge the ones they loved, finish what they failed to do, and return to a normal life. *** Set in a fantasized bronze age India featuring LGBT female leads. Told in an omniscient pov with glances into multiple characters. This is my first book even if I've been working on it for a while but I hope you can all still find some enjoyment and take a break from everything happening in the world. Remember to work on your dreams. :)

Life is a game, with intrusive microtransactions.
Life is a simulation. There is nothing wrong with acknowledging we are just a part of someone's dream, lines of code existing to give purpose for some machine or anything, but why would this unknown entity add microtransactions in it? Maybe because that way it can wake up faster, by consuming parts of it's dream, until... well, who cares about an unknown entity that has nothing to do with this particular story?
