《Death… And Me》Death... And Me

"Kalan, Xenkin, are you really going to let this go? So what if two Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators died? They were all at the Initial and Middle stages, but the three of us are in the Late Stage. If we do this together, we can still plunder them of everything they have. However, if we retreat now, we are going to be the laughingstock of the South Region. The Middle-Sized Tribes couldn't wipe out a Small-Sized one. Is that really okay with the two of you?"
Juri, on the other side, started to laugh.
"Small-Sized? If you want to believe that, then so be it. However, I ask you this. If Alanda and I are only two, and we were fighting on the East and West Sides, who killed the Foundation Establishment Cultivator who entered through the north?"
Kalan and Xenkin's eyes opened wide! That's right; Alanda and Juri can't be in two places at the same time. And they don't believe that a Foundation Establishment would fail to run away even if he was surrounded by Energy Gathering Realm cultivators. Not to mention that the Northside was supposed to have more warriors, so getting surrounded wasn't an option in theory.
"He is trying to deceive you. They definitely played some trick that killed the Northside commander. Otherwise, why is only Alanda and Juri appearing here at the moment? Where is that 'helper' that killed the Northside commander?"
Juri laughed once more after hearing that.
"Isn't that obvious? As long as you don't know who he or she is, you will need to divide your attention at all times. The moment you let your guard down..."
Juri stopped talking at that point, but his meaning was clear for all to see.
"Alright. Let's do this then. Hersil Tribe and Bokou Tribe are from outside our territory, so you don't need to be that afraid of retaliation from our side. In fact, my Varen Tribe will not pursue this issue against you either. Why don't you cut your losses here and we pretend it never happened. Whatever happens with our Varen and the Kianme Tribes in the future will have nothing to do with you."

Kalan snorted before asking.
"And why should we do that? So far, it is only your words that we got and no proof that you can really deal with all of us together. We have lost too much, both in resources and face. We can't just step back anymore."
Yasvil Kianme let out a sigh of relief. It seems like they still want to take the Varen Tribe's over.
However, Juri just kept laughing.
"Hahaha! Very well. As a proof of good intention, our Varen Tribe will provide the Hersil and Bokou tribes a total of 50 Steel Swords each. If you didn't live in a cave in the past year, you definitely know about our Steel Swords. In fact, that Foundation Establishment over there can testify for their strength. Also..."
Juri then raised his Sword, which made the commander who battled him sweat cold. He took this chance and quickly sent a Spiritual Sense message to the three leaders.
"That is the Sword, which almost destroyed my Spiritual Mace and suffered no damage whatsoever!"
Xenkin, Kalan, and Yasvil's eyes glued in that Sword.
Juri noticed that their attention was caught and continued.
"I will have one of these swords sent together with the Steel Swords to your Hersil and Bokou Tribes. This will be an extra gift of our Varen Tribe. Also, we would more than welcome creating a trade route between our tribes as well as a way of proving our good intentions. How is that?"
Kalan and Xinkin's eyes brightened. They know the Steel Swords, but they are now too hard to get. The Varen Tribe only puts so many every month, and there is even a queue for those who want one. Getting 50 Steel Swords and even that freakish Spiritual Kaz Sword would definitely boost their powers by a lot.

Yasvil immediately noticed the convictions of the Kalan and Hersil Tribe Leaders waver.
"You can't be serious that you trust him, right? You attacked his Tribe and killed several of their warriors. Can such a blood feud really be wiped out this easily, I don't believe so! Besides, once we clear their Tribe, all their Steel Weapons will be yours to start with, isn't that even better?"
Kalan and Hersil began to ponder what would be better. Both sides had very attractive ideas. Retreat and trust that the Varen Tribe would keep their words. Or attack and then take everything for themselves. But in that case, there is no guarantee of victory.
But it was at this moment that two Strong Spiritual Energy pressures appeared from behind the Varen Tribe's Walls. That immediately caught Kalan and Xenkin's attention. Their Spiritual Sense couldn't go far enough to see what cultivation the ones releasing that Spiritual Pressure had or their appearances. However, they could tell that they are no weaker than themselves. That meant that whoever those two are, they are probably at the same level as themselves.
Yasvil face also turned pale. The only thing that kept this alliance up was the fact that perhaps, the Varen Tribe really doesn't have any other Foundation Establishment cultivator. However, this conjecture was immediately destroyed. They do have other Foundation Establishment warriors, and two at that!
After pondering a bit, Xenkin and Kalan nodded at each other. It was evident that forcing this issue would be very detrimental for their Tribes. Even if they win now, they can't guarantee that they can kill the other part Foundation Establishment Warriors. If those four decide to join some other Tribe in exchange for help with their revenge, they can think of a few ones that would gladly accept them. At that moment, their Tribes would be doomed if they have to fight so many Foundation Establishments at once and alone.
"Juri Varen, our Hersil and Bokou Tribes accept your offer. We will send an envoy to discuss the trade route and take the Swords in a few days. We hope you will keep your words."
Juri laughed while the Spiritual Pressures coming from behind him disappeared.
"Very well."
Juri then turned around and returned inside the Tribe. Obviously, he wouldn't distribute the Steel Swords now since they might decide to attack since they are already here. So he will send them a few days later too. As for the Kianme Tribe, Juri wasn't the least bit afraid of them attacking his Tribe anymore. They would be sending themselves to their deaths if they did so. Last but not least, taking revenge on the Kianme Tribe is not something he can decide right now.

[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License. For those unfamiliar with my writing style, Second Chances was my first attempt at writing. I'm not sure how much I learned in the process, except that readers get angry when you mess with characters they like! Warnings - I tend to info dump. I know I do this, I like slice of life novels that take time to unfold. So don't expect action, murder, and battles in every chapter, it isn't going to happen I prefer the first-person narrative. I will do an occasional POV shift, but it will never be done mid-chapter. I hope you enjoy the story, comments, ratings, and favorites are greatly appreciated!

How a lame loner's life is not like normal dudes
Are you a loner? If you ask me I have to say yes. And it has nothing to do with the plot. The summary is going to be messy so please bear. *The Summary* Join the adventure of our MC Akito. Who's a Japanese 2nd Year High School student going throuh with an unusual problem. And that is the writer has not casted him in a good narrative story. The MC is going through serious depression and anxiety due to this and he doesn't even know what's going to happen with him in the near future. And of course this won't be narrated in the story because the author is a lazy hobo who has no will to write. *Lame unimportant information* *Please skip this part* Its a story of a character who happens to be the character of a writer. And that writer by the way is the character of another story. Basically its a story of that guy. And here the main character happens to be me (the main character here. I'm narrating the story for your information.). And its kind of sad that its a comedy rather than gruesome action fantasy or virtual reality story. But its an uncommon story which you'll never hear about or will never see be famous for some lame reasons. By the way the author doesn't even have any aspiration to imrpove his grammar so whack him for his terrible excuse of grammar. And also be prepared to wash your eyes with bleach after reading it. Bleach is gonna clean your eyes ;)
