Chapter 13
After Chun Yeowun was taken to the medical room, the ceremony came to a halt as all the students needed to meditate to heal .
‘Hmmm . ’
People were curious as to what would happen to Yeowun who vomited blood out from his mouth, but Left Guardian Lee Hameng’s attention was elsewhere . The first rank to the heir, Chun Muyeon of the Wise Clan, and fifth rank Yuchan of the Blade Clan had endured the first test as if it were nothing .
‘They are beyond expectations . ’
Not taking any damage from Hang Soyou’s half-powered attack would require at least hundreds of internal energy .
‘They are beyond the level of students . ’
They were already at the level of powerful warriors . It obvious why the rumor of the Wise and Blade Clans taking the throne was spread .
However, they weren’t the only ones who had withstood it without taking any damage . The other members of the six clans endured without much trouble and there were also eight other students who also endured it .
‘I thought they were all weaklings, but this is interesting . ’
It felt like there might be powerful warriors in this year’s academy . All in all, that was going to be decided after four years when it was all over .
A total of 415 students passed the first test . It was 200 less than the first test from ten years ago as the test had been more difficult due to Chun Yeowun .
Not everyone knew it, but some of the students who looked back like Mukeum were angry to see the intensity of the test because of Yeowun .
After dragging out the failed students, all the remaining students were officially appointed as cadets and they each were given a bronze tag with the number 3, symbolizing that they were now low-ranked warriors of the Demonic Cult .
“Is this the beginning now?!”

“I will go up to the top!”
Then the students began dividing themselves into groups . Hameng grouped them based on their personal information and the result of the test . Other than the five groups of 20, the other remaining groups had 21 people .
“Do you know why there are twenty groups?”
“Mado!”
Cadets answered ‘mado’ to Hameng’s question . This was due to the instructions on answering with ‘mado’ for any answer that required a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’ . No other answers were allowed .
“Until you pass the third test, all of you will be tested on the same day and same time . ”
The academy had no intention to waste money on training up to the third step which was for high-ranked warriors . Therefore, they had a set amount of time allocated for each of the tests .
“The amount you need to learn the ways of a middle-rank warrior is three weeks . ”
‘Only three weeks?’
The cadets were frustrated . They were shocked by the unexpectedly quick pace .
“After three weeks, the twenty groups will battle . Ten groups will be allowed to move onto the next step . ”
This meant that two hundred people were going to fail .
“This is the only and last test where you will need to work together, so if you want to compete against yourself within the group, you can happily fail the test and leave . ”
Most groups were equally formed, but there were some groups with a fewer number of students from the powerful clans . Thus, they weren’t all that excited .
“This ends today’s schedule . You can return to your dorms according to your groups and rest . Starting tomorrow, you will be taught nicely by the staff that are standing in front of you right now . ”
The students then turned to their instructors who were standing there expressionlessly . When they saw the staff members dragging the failed students out by clubbing them with their black clubs hanging on their waists, the students shivered .

“You are dismissed!”
“DISMISSED!”
Students then returned to their assigned dorms . However, one of the students stood in place while everyone left with exhausted expressions . It was Chun Mukeum of the Loyal Clan . Instructor Impeng, who was assigned to Mukeum’s 8th group, walked up to him, “3rd cadet . Why are you still standing there?”
Until the students passed the fourth test, they were called upon by their numbers .
“I have a question to ask, Instructor . ”
“You know I won’t answer questions that are not related to training . ”
“Yes, sir . ”
Instructors did not know all of their students’ names and faces, but they at least knew about the princes of the six clans since they were going to be the future leaders of the cult .
“Good . What is the question?”
“I am sure that I will be the leader of my group . ”
‘Hmm . ’
This wasn’t announced as it was going to be decided tomorrow, but Mukeum already knew that they were going to have group leaders .
‘They don’t care about the rules . ’
He knew the six clans would not keep secrets from their princes regarding the academy, but it was rather disappointing to see it in reality .
“One of my group’s cadets, the 7th cadet, is in the medical room . ”
“And?”
“I do not want one of our cadets to be left out or missing so that our entire group fails . ”
“What is it that you are proposing?”
“I want to let him know what we had heard today while he was gone so that he will not be left out . ”
He thought all of the six princes did not like Yeowun, but it seemed like Mukeum was different . Impeng became pleased and nodded, “Good . I applaud you for your sincerity, and you seem to know about the importance of this second test . So, I will take your advice and go to the 7th cadet and give him the information myself . ”
“Huh? N-no, that won’t be necessary . I can go myself…”
“The main building is off-limits to cadets except under special circumstances . ”
Chun Mukeum became frustrated .
‘Goddammit! This is bullshit!’
His purpose was to go to Chun Yeowun and break his leg or something, but he didn’t think he wouldn’t be allowed to enter the building at all . He tried to imply that he was the heir of one of the six clans, but he realized his background didn’t apply in this academy and gave up .
“Understood, Instructor . Oh, and can you tell me when the 7th cadet will be returning to us?”
He then needed to wait until Yeowun returned .
Around dinner time, Instructor Impeng went to Chun Yeowun’s medical room as promised . Yeowun was in self-healing mode and was asleep . Impeng couldn’t wake Yeowun who was badly injured and asked Baek Jongmeng on how long it would take for the boy to wake up .
“Hmm . He will need at least two weeks in bed . ”
“Two weeks? That will be too long for him to move up to the second step . Can’t he wake up earlier?”
Impeng didn’t like the idea of letting his group fail due to one student . It was survival for the students, but it was a competition for the instructors .
“Well, he doesn’t have any internal energy so it takes time . ”
Impeng then had to leave knowing that it would take two weeks for Chun Yeowun to heal .
‘Well, he’s out of luck . ’
He thought Chun Yeowun was unlucky, but he later learned that it was not true .
The next day, someone walked into the medical room before dawn . It was Submeng the Crazy Blade .
“Heh heh… apprentice . It’s your teacher . ”
He came back too fast .

8 187Ph. D. In Sorcery
Follow Anastasia, the unlucky physicist turned wizard, as her reality gets turned upside down and she is plunged into a world of gods, magic, swords, and adventure. Short and sweet description, anything more would be a spoiler and I detest those. Now, what you can expect from reading: This is my first time writing, or better said allowing someone else to read that mess so don’t raise your expectations too much. Still, I will try to keep the story flowing, while also devoting as much time as I can to editing. In my opinion, the story is written at a faster pace than normal with time skips here and there. I will do my best to not allow the faster pace to ruin the story by using those time skips to raise the skill of the main character. I am mainly looking for feedback while I test myself in new and unexplored waters. I did put a lot of thought into worldbuilding and the magic system, it is something that has been mulling inside my head for years before I sat down to write anything down. First and foremost I am an engineer and not a writer. I will try to do my utmost to make the world logical and consistent, but sometimes I might not express that in a way that’s clearly understood. I have a rough outline with several possible endings, but the story will change and evolve as I do. But in case I have to stop for whatever reason, the story will get an ending. It will be done even if I have to send coded messages from a bunker. I am a big fan of the Dresden Files so you can be certain that everything mentioned will in most cases be used, with a few red herrings sprinkled in the mix. But that also means I will enjoy putting the main character through the meat grinder while I eat popcorn and laugh from my evil lair. Physics, and to be more precise electromagnetism, quantum field theory, general and special relativity are very interesting topics for me that I research in my spare time. That means that the premise of the story will be using that research to bring logic to magic. Stupid I know, magic is magic, but to me, there is no reason why there shouldn’t be a concrete set of rules there. But it is still magic and that allows me to play with some things that shouldn’t normally be possible. I will focus on evolving the main character and having her react as anyone normal would, from my perspective. There will be scenes of battle, gore, and sexy times, but I will not go into too many details, counting on your imagination to fill the gaps. There will be plenty of combat, even battles ranging from a few dozen, a hundred, and thousands of participants. I could go on but there isn’t much to say that would convince anyone to read, either you thought the title was cool or you liked the poster. Or not, but after several days in photoshop, that’s the best I could do. And the title was originally Sorceress with a Ph.D. The new one makes a little less sense but I like the ring of it more for some reason. I just hope someone enjoys what I write as much as I do. In the end that is the reason, I am doing this, because I enjoy putting my thoughts on paper and seeing the outcome. Credit for the art: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/e0o8nw

8 81To live is to Dream (LitRPG; First Draft)
A new Power has come into the World and seeks to change it. Being on the last dregs of sanity and full of alcohol Daniel West receives an opportunity to seek revenge. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To live is to Dream is the second book of the Just a Dream series. You do not have to read the first to enjoy the second, but there will be recurring characters along the line. The first book features Mir, a man that dislikes how his current world appears and hence wants to change it. The second book will feature other people and how the changes implemented by Mir affect their lives. For those interested in my first book, it's easy to find it. Just beware that with the first book, it was my first time writing and there are a lot of grammar errors despite lots of editing, at least at the beginning of the book. The cover was done by Lmarief. I had requested something bizarre and she delivered. I have even used it as part of the story since her interpretation of my imagination was a bit different. Still, I loved it. As a thank you gift, I posted a link to her profile here for others who want a unique cover. https://www.royalroad.com/profile/220043
