The Ancient Genes Chapter 157

Max looked at the humongous door which seemed to be releasing a terrifying aura. His interest was piqued.
"What's behind that door, Old Man?" Max asked with a calm look.
"For the current you…. it's death." The voice replied with a hint of seriousness.
"Interesting…" Max muttered and turned around.
"..."
"You aren't gonna ask about it?" The voice asked in surprise.
"You obviously will tell me. Just look at how eager you are." Max said with a laugh.
"Every time I see you, you seem to become more and more annoying." The voice replied in frustration.
"Just get to the main point, " Max said in annoyance.
"Sigh! Kids these days…..that gate is too much for you. I made it but not for the trial." The voice replied.
"What is it for then?" Max asked.
"It's the resting place for a foe and a friend." The voice said with a deep sigh.
"A for and a friend?" Max asked.
"Yes, the loyal servant of the Heavenly Demon and one of our comrades."
"If he was alive and would have ascended with us, he would be called the God of Charm….hahhaha!!!" The voice laughed and Max could clearly sense a bit of sadness in it.
"Why have you kept them behind the door?" Max asked with raised brows.
"At their level, even after death they could cause devastation. You won't understand. Now that I think about it….it might be an opportunity for you."
"Oh! How?" Max asked in curiosity.
"When u finally reach the Supreme realm, come here. This place might help you to go ahead." The voice said.
The look in Max's eyes suddenly changed. He couldn't help but ask, "So the supreme realm isn't the end?"

"Hahaha!!! There is never an end kid. Want to know what's above?" The voice asked with a laugh.
"Nah! Forget it. I will figure it out myself once I reach there." Max waved his hand and replied nonchalantly.
"You really have changed." The voice replied.
"Oh! Have I?" Max asked curiously.
"Yes...you have become more annoying." Max couldn't help but click his tongue in dissatisfaction as heard this reply.
"Anyway, you have passed the trial. I will grant you your wish." The voice spoke once again.
"I have been waiting for it…." Max said with a smile.
"Not only you but the others as well. The Cemetery will definitely crumble if I use this much energy. But I will bet everything on you and others of your generation. I had already made preparations to let the others develop a proper constitution before hand, let's see what you all could do."
"End this once and for all kid."
Before Max could say anything, a pillar of light descended enveloping Max. It was the same painful feeling that he once felt when the system was extracted from him.
But this time, Max's face remained calm. His brows didn't even flinched and he just sighed.
"Old man, you really did it. Fine then, I might as well put a bit of extra effort for you." Max muttered.
….
"Inhale!"
"Exhale!"
"Hahaha!!! I am finally back."
Max laughed as he looked at the familiar scenery.
The river flowing and the endless greenery. He was back here.
At this moment, a screen popped up in front of his face.
«Gene Combat System installation in process...»
« Estimated time: 7 days»
Max closed the system tabs. He was curious about it. But he couldn't control time. He had to wait.

"Let's just enjoy a bit of scenery."
He unfurled his wings and flew through the sky. He just randomly flew in a direction enjoying the breeze on his face.
" The real world feels good!" Max mumbled even though there was practically no difference between the two places.
"Hiss!"
Suddenly, a hissing noise entered Max's ears and a tail emerged from the forest and came flying towards him like a canon.
"Bang!"
The tail struck and slowly, a snake's body emerged out of thin air.
It was the Water Cobra. It still seemed to have remembered Max's face. Once in the past, it had almost killed Max.
"Grip!"
The snake suddenly felt a strong grip on its tail and it hissed furiously as it tried to move. But it all ended up in vain.
At this moment, a mocking voice sounded, "You think the same trick would work twice."
The grip on its tail was released and the snake immediately coiled itself and took a defensive posture as it bared its fangs at the figure in mid-air.
"What, are you scared now?" Max smiled as he taunted.
The Water cobra's mouth began to shine with white light. It was evident that it was preparing for a breath attack.
But before it could realise, Max was already on its head.
"That really reminds me of something bad. Just close your mouth."
"Bang!"
Max's heel slammed into the Water cobra's face sending it plummeting into the ground.
"Boom!"
Max slowly descended and found the snake struggling to get back up. Its scales had cracked from head to tail and blood seemed to be leaking through it.
Max calmly walked towards it.
Within a few months, their position had changed. Max could feel that he was stronger.
"This is good. But not enough…." Max muttered as he raised his hand and water began to conjure around it forming a blade.
The snake looked at Max with a trace of fear in its eyes.
Max didn't even give it a second look, his eyes tranquil like water and his blade fell spilling blood all over.
"Don't you dare to kill if you don't have the resolve to die yourself." He said this words to the departing soul before further swinging his blade and chopping up the huge beast in pieces and throwing it into the spirit world.
Max turned around and noticed the Elemental Fruit tree. The tree didn't seem much bigger in comparison to others.
"Hm...I should try it...besides, It is just a waste here."
Max pulled the tree out after a bit of struggle and luckily, it entered the spirit world.
"A great day indeed." Max smiled and nodded in satisfaction.
"Its time to head back. Let's see how much the world has changed without me."

RE: Monarch
Cairn is a prince who is already tired of ruling. Faced with an imminent coronation and an overbearing father, he wants nothing more than to drown his responsibilities in cheap liquor and poor decisions. With the help of his sister, he hatches a plan to escape the clutches of the throne once and for all. It all goes terribly wrong, and Cairn finds his priorities shifting in the face of unimaginable tragedy. The change of heart comes too late, however, and Cairn dies. He reawakens to find himself transported ten years in the past. He immediately begins to plan for the future, only to discover his killer has somehow followed him. To succeed, Cairn must unite the kingdom and discover the motivation of his killer, using as many tries as it takes. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I exhausted pretty much every time loop story ever written and decided to write my own. You'll see a few similarities here between this story and some existing stories, at least initially. There's a lot of inspiration drawn from both MoL and Re:Zero, though in terms of pathos and darkness, this story leans more towards the latter. Be warned, it is something of a slow burn. The main character will grow and become powerful, but a theme of this story is that power comes slowly and often at great cost.

The Granddaughter of Time
Teresa Hargrove was okay with giving up. She knew the Earth was doomed and there was nothing to be done about it. What she was not okay with was the Future, an enigmatic woman nearly fanatical in her devotion to making a difference, dragging her along — seemingly, to prove her wrong. It turns out though that the Future is very hard to understand. This story contains heavy themes, including mental illness, existential crisis and death. However, I still tried to eventually convey a message of hope. Several mythical and metaphorical beings in the shape of humans will appear in most chapters. However, they are not meant to be of a specific ethnicity or social background and are instead perceived differently by people around them. For your reading pleasure, feel free to imagine them any way you’d like, even if your imagination contradicts descriptions from the story. Enjoy!~
