Chapter 865: An Entire Wall of Poems
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Zhang Weiyu headed west . Lu Shu did not know whether he had deliberately headed north before going in another direction . In the west was the territory of the West Lord of Heaven, Duanmu Huangqi . He would reach after crossing a hill and a river .
Zhang Weiyu had told Lu Shu that in the past, the female slaves who lived in the peasant households nearby would bathe in the river . These female slaves were much more good looking than the aristocrats .
Lu Shu understood . For some reason, Zhang Weiyu was unhappy with the aristocrats . It was like in the Journey to the West, where the characters headed to the Western Heaven . When they reached it, they were greeted with “Welcome to Tie Ling”… they had walked in the wrong direction! They had gotten it completely wrong!
There were no accurate boundary lines here . Towns were used instead . After a war, if a town was seized, this meant that they would lose the ground occupied by the town .
Lu Shu felt that no matter what Zhang Weiyu did, it was not important . This person was very strange . Lu Shu discovered that even slaves who had not undergone training had three to four times the physical strength of ordinary people on Earth . But Zhang Weiyu was different . Lu Shu felt that he was weaker than ordinary humans .
This was an unusual state . It was as if there was a story behind it . But all these had nothing to do with Lu Shu . More importantly, he had to firmly and succinctly progress to Rank Five .
When he trained in the morning, he suddenly thought that even if he could only eat buns here, he would eventually be able to find a method of cultivation when the time came . He used a tree branch to write on the ground . One day, I will be able to fulfill my dreams 1!

His words were bold and strong . They possessed sword energy within them .
If those who practiced swordplay saw these words on the ground, they might be able to realize something . This time, the branch did not break in Lu Shu’s hands . It was as if his physical power made everything he wanted possible . His swordplay rapidly improved .
Lu Shu was somewhat happy, because the better his swordplay was, the faster the rate at which the world supplied him with Spirit Qi . He would need only 20 days to reach Rank Four instead of a month .
As he was training, the sound of horses galloping could be heard from the end of the road . They had arrived as planned .
What would he receive this time…
He looked out and saw that the lady called Yu Die had come in person .
Yu Die stopped her horse and stood beside Lu Shu . She looked down at Lu Shu . “This peasant . Do I have to personally come down before you are willing to accept my invitation?”
With his swordplay in hand, Lu Shu was more stubborn . “Even if you personally come, I might not accept your invitation . ”
At that moment, Yu Die saw the words that Lu Shu had written in the ground and was dumbfounded .
Lu Shu looked back at his words . Did Yu Die actually understand them? Would he become the Immortal Poet 1 in this world? After that, would he attract aristocrats as his followers and reach the peak of his life? Then, people would feed him everyday . He would be able to safely train and reach Rank One, before breaking free!
In this world, intellectuals were regarded as important by the aristocrats . According to Zhang Weiyu, a slave who could teach could be worth a ranch . This was very valuable .
Furthermore, those slaves who were able to teach would be regarded as important by the head of the family as well . They would be treated much better than the other slaves . Furthermore, some peasants would be crowned as guests of honor due to their knowledge . This was an established practice by the old King of Gods .

Subordinates followed the example of their superiors . If the old King of Gods placed high importance on scholars, the lower levels would do the same . In the past, a slave owner’s family became aristocrats because their son was very smart . This rapid progress in social class was very tempting .
Furthermore, Zhang Weiyu had said that scholars were well-received in brothels . A good poem, even if it was incomplete, would allow the poet to eat and drink well at the brothel for a month .
When Lu Shu heard about this, he felt that this world was not bad…
Lu Shu stood tall and proud . He wanted to make himself seem like a casual poet . Suddenly Yu Die said, “I didn’t expect that you like the old King of Gods’ poems as well . ”
Lu Shu was dumbfounded .
Wait . Something was wrong . He wanted to act like the Immortal Poet . But someone was even more shameless than him!
Lu Shu was slightly puzzled . He asked, “Which of his poems do you like best?”
Yu Die excitedly said, “I didn’t think that I would meet someone who knows poems in this town! I like ‘Ru Meng Ling 1′ . On, we rowed! On, we rowed! Startling the gulls and herons on the beach!”
“Ha ha . ” Lu Shu’s expression darkened . He had copied poems from both male and female poets . The old King of Gods had a very broad range . He simply did not give others a chance…
How shameless!
Thus, he had normalized language and standardized writing so that everyone could read his poems! This history did not even make sense . Why were you so insistent on copying?
Yu Die looked very excited, as if she had encountered someone who understood her . “None of these crude slaves understand the talent behind these poems . You are very good!”
Lu Shu thought about it and said, “I only know a little . Do you have a collection of the old King of Gods’ poems? I want to take a look . ”
He had said so because he wanted to see whether the old King of Gods had missed out anything that he could make up for . If he knew what the old King of Gods had copied, their poems would not overlap .
“Then follow me to the palace . ” Yu Die said excitedly, “It is too inconvenient to transport an entire wall of poems back and forth!”
When Lu Shu heard “an entire wall of poems”, he started to despair…
How long had the old King of Gods lived for? Was he bored because he had lived for so long? Yes or no? Huh?
Lu Shu suddenly felt that when the length of his life was no longer important to the old King of Gods, his life was like a game . Since he was the strongest and had a long life, he could play as he wished .
“Okay, I will accompany you to the palace . But let me say this first . I will not sell myself to be a slave,” said Lu Shu calmly . He suddenly wanted to understand the old King of Gods .
On the other hand, it seemed as if Yu Die had completely changed her attitude . “From now on, you are my friend . Don’t talk about being a slave!”
Lu Shu thought . Had he benefited from the king… needless to say, Lu Shu was suddenly very curious about the old King of Gods . He was the head of the world, but he was very down to earth . He had angered a prostitute at a brothel and even copied poems…
Interesting . This was Lu Shu’s review .
But Lu Shu was slightly puzzled . Why did the old King of Gods fall? Had his life naturally ended, or had there been an accident?

Night Terror
Story is currently 'on hold' for an indefinite period of time - I will eventually post the whole thing when it's complete, see the news post for more details. After dying young, a man reincarnates into a new world as Abe Haruki. 'This whole world is suspicious...' Despite the fact that Haruki had never once met a god, even during his reincarnation, he couldn't help feeling that this world was just too... Intelligently designed? I mean, seriously... Levels? Classes? Stats? Items? You can even level up your abilities! 'Definitely suspicious...' Unfortunately, the Church have been keeping close tabs on him from the shadows. They've heard rumours of a boy, born with a golden ring. With magical affinities that defy logic. Darkness and light energies destroy each other, violently, so how does he have the affinity for both? Can Haruki live his peaceful life along side childhood friend Suzu? Or will they fall to the coming darkness? ::Author's note:: While there are stats and exp etc, it's not LitRPG. They are there, but not the focus in any way. The world is more hardcore - A human is soft, so a pierced lung should eventually kill them. Even though they have a small pool of HP, a single deadly blow can end it all. If you ever want to say G'day, I'm in the discord chat every now and then, so feel free to join the madness ;) Thanks for reading

The Paths of Magick
Credits: Story by Xcaliburnt. Cover Art by @Bervolart. Magick, the power to bend the laws of reality. All because of a mystical substance known as mana. Mages follow the Paths to achieve power, for there is no more addictive chase. Each Path winds and twists, forcing mages through the flames of adversity and challenge. Though the operative word is "path", the reality is far less straightforward. Instead of a road, Paths are like the branches of world trees, erupting into the heavens, intertwining, and ending in sharp snaps. Only the strongest reach the sky. There are several Paths, and many Ways to walk them—variations of the same Path, and like the stars, they are endless. Magick is the sacred flame that scours the fat, rendering the truest self. Superfluous flesh melting away to show the skeleton of one's being. A chance for ascension—apotheosis. Though not every mage works to godhood, if they survive long enough, It is inescapable. Witness the lives of those that tread the knife's edge of self-destruction. Each one intertwined in their search for answers, revenge, and, most of all: power. These individuals have all lost something precious—irreplaceable—and In search of filling the void left behind, they have taken up the mantle of a mage. Per aspera ad astra. Ad mortem vel divinitatis. (Through adversity to the stars. To death or divinity.) There is no consistent release schedule except my consistent inconsistency. Besides, there’s like a thousand pages worth of content, how can—you already read it? Goddamn. Oh, and there is a very long hiatus between volumes as I intend to edit and rewrite a lot. What to Expect: This story is progression fantasy, so expect a healthy dose of training. It's also heavy on slice of life, and it isn't entirely overarching-plot-driven. Expect characters to live their lives, and not always be on some quest to save the world. There's a lot of magic theory and discussion about it in the story. So, if you don't like impromptu lessons on sorcerous theory by traveling monster slayers, this might not be for you. But if you do like it, rejoice! For there is a lot of it. This is also heavy on prose, purple as a bruised eye. I use outdated, uneccesarily collegiate-level terms and play around with the writing style just for the heck of it. I find it fun to wax and wane poetic, and that might grate on you—I don’t plan to change this aspect of the Paths much if at all. Onto the viewer discretion is advised parts: This is grim-dark/ grim-heart. Take the tags seriously. There will be combat scenes that are brutal and horrifying. Fights to the death tend to be. This is a tale about medieval mercenaries (quite literal killers for hire), man-eating monsters, and eldritch gods beyond the material plane. Beside that, there will be traumatic events that are best left unread. I do not detail certain acts I find heinous enough, instead leaving some parts unwritten but still alludded to if not outright stated; there is simply no graphic narration thereof. This is not for the faint of heart.

Re:Stoat
This story is utterly brutal, sick, twisted, and vile. Rape, Murder, Gore, Nature. Elephants rape and murder rhinos... I want to make this story twisted from the start. The world is a viscous and cruel place. My story is going to push limits. Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
