《Netheril’s Glory 》Chapter 58: Lo Lan's journey.
Advertisement
Near the border between the Kingdom of Dylan and the Kingdom of Camos, there was a small city called Dolez, which was good at producing spices. Although it was far away from Dylan's capital city and bordered the semi-hostile Kingdom of Camos, as the spices were in short supply in the world of Pheren, this small spice exporting city was still prosperous and wealthy.
To the south of Dolez, there was a busy road that passed through a lush jungle. This road directly connected the city of Dolez and the city of Kaili in the south of the lush Jungle.
In the past, there was an endless stream of carriages and merchants. However, due to the deterioration of the relationship between the Dylan and the Camos Kingdom that started more than ten years ago, the city of Kaili, which had frequent trades with the Kingdom of Camos, lost its economic importance. In addition, the lord who ruled the city was also incompetent, so the originally thriving city of Kaili had fallen, so this business road between the two cities was in a semi-abolished state, and it became a gathering place for robbers.
In recent years, even robbers had become rare, as there were really no merchants who travelled through this unmaintained road.
But today, a beautiful carriage embedded with gold rims appears on this deserted road. In the carriage's body, a diagonally cutting sword was carved with silver. This sign indicated the noble status of the owner of this carriage, but It seemed that the condition of this nobleman was very pitiful. Not only the size of this travelling convoy was very small, but as escorts, there were only dozens of listless ordinary soldiers following behind, and only one trainee-level knight, who was riding a steed in front of the group, could be told a noble escort.
The owner of this carriage was a 13-year-old beautiful little girl with two brilliant golden ponytails named Lo Lan. She had smooth and delicate skin that was as beautiful as thick pure milk. She had long, slender eyebrows and a pair of charming eyes. And with a small, well-proportioned nose, slightly reddish jade cheeks, and delicate lips, she looked petite and lovely.

Although Lo Lan was very young, her little face, gently leaning against the window, seemed depressed and sad.
Lo Lan Minohorn was the full name of this little girl. She was the only daughter of the Minohorn family; at the same time, she was also the last member of the Minohorn family. Her family used to be as splendorous and glorious as the past Kaili city, but now it had also fallen with the decline of the city of Kaili.
Just after the death of the old Lord Minohorn, there was no one left for the young Lo Lan in the city of Kaili, so with the last few loyal private soldiers and the last remaining bag of gold coins, she set out on a journey to the legendary city of Dolez, which was called a city of opportunities, to find a chance to reestablish the Minohorn family.
Unfortunately, she was not a genius businesswoman, so the burden of establishing a Chamber of Commerce fell on the shoulder of her loyal butler...
Just when Lo Lan was looking at the trees passing by outside the carriage window with confusion over her future, her playmate and maid sitting next to her persuaded,
"Miss, everything will be okay. Dolez is well-known as the city of opportunities. With Miss's ingenuity, why are you afraid that there will be no chance to rejuvenate the Minohorn family?"
"Of course, I am the young Lady of Minohorn family."
After all, she was still very young. When her little maid praised her, Luo Taran lifted her chin with a high-above princess look, but because of her petite figure, no matter how one looked at it, she just looked like a proud little loli. Looking at Luo Taran, the little maid couldn't help but laugh out loud!
"You!, you dare to laugh at me? now see how I punish you."
Lo Lan, with a red face, suddenly threw down the little maid on to the floor, then with a smirk on her face started to trickle her, until the poor little maid smiled so much that tears started to flow out, only after that she agreed to stop!

After listening to the faint sounds of laughing of the two girls from the carriage, the old butler and the tall warrior, who had been expressionless since they were on the road, also looked at each other and laughed!
In the carriage, after a period of frolicking around, Lo Lan, unable to bear the loneliness, sat next to the little maid who had just rearranged her clothes and then she blushed a little and leaned into the little maid's ear and asked,
"What kind of man you like?"
"My lady has become more shameless."
After hearing this question, the little maid's cheeks became steaming hot, she reached out to push away the shameless Lo Lan, but how could the arrogant little loli, who hadn't got the answer she wanted, let her go so easily?
"Say, say it~, otherwise... I will tickle you again"!
"Don't don't don't, I can't stand it, I will say."
Hearing that the young Miss would start her pranks again, the little maid quickly gave in.
"What about the man I like!...... he must be a great warrior who can easily beat five...no! Ten big villains."
The shy little maid said proudly while hiding her flushed face.
"Huh! If it's this young lady, I don't need any powerful warriors to beat bad guys at all. I am enough, so..."
At this point, Lo Lan's milky face also flushed.
"...So as long as he is handsome and has a gentle personality".
With these last words, Lo Lan's voice became so faint that one could hardly hear it!
The young lady Lo Lan's voice was indeed almost inaudible, but another more important thing happened at this moment.
A few lavender light balls suddenly flew out and hit the depleted commercial road about three hundred meters in front of the path of the carriage, and an earth-shattering sound exploded.
After this deafening noise, large chunks of sand and gravel shot in all directions, and the cracks on the ground spread all the way under the wheels of the carriage. The startled horses repeatedly neighed. Now Instead of the original "road", there were three or four deep pits that could bury the entire carriage. This sudden attack that could have crushed the entire convoy into dregs with a single shot made the ordinary soldier's leg tremble. If they weren't more or less trained elites, this coercion alone was enough to frighten them.
The little maid sitting in the carriage was already crying in fear, Lo Lan was kneeling on the floor and shivering like a frightened little rabbit. This kind of force that seemed like it could destroy everything, and the huge pressure, made the little girl's crouch slightly moist!
Fortunately, the pressure came and went quickly. When this terrible pressure suddenly came from the mysterious road blocker, almost all ordinary people slumped on the ground and started to pray as if they had seen a god.
Lo Lan barely controlled her trembling legs and stood up. A little ashamed by her cowardness, she bit her pale lips, restrained her tears, and then stubbornly poked her head to look in the direction of the source of the pressure.
In the smoke and dust flying in front of the road, a young man in a blue hooded robe was steadily walking amongst the flying stone towards the unmoving convoy. It seemed like the surrounding dust and stones fragments were afraid to approach this figure, and his robe was still clean and tidy.
This slightly thin young man didn't look someone strong, but the feeling that he gave to everyone was like a "catastrophe", an absolute, irresistible force!
That was the crushing oppression that came from the massive difference in the level of souls.

Journey West 5000

Unstable and weakened, will he be more hindrance than help? Can he become the warrior he once was?A Monk and a Monkey journey across a world...... where the remnants of technology are seen as magic, while pockets of humanity strive to drag themselves out of ignorance.... where the descendants of animal-human hybrids, once created as instruments of war, now seek to dominate the world as demons.... where beings who call themselves Immortals and Gods preoccupy themselves with selfish pastimes, ignoring everything else. Among other things, a story about growth, grit, and being better than the person you were yesterday. Here's my rambling on why I'm writing Journey West 5000. Journey West 5000 is my crazy ambitious writing project to adapt a classic epic called "Journey to the West" for a global, modern audience. It's a sci-fi story disguised as fantasy, and has some road trip + monster of the week elements (as does the original Journey to the West). No system, definitely no harem, gradual power progression. Hmm, what else can I put here so potential readers know what to expect? My writing style for now is mostly "show don't tell", because I believe that readers don't need to have everything pointed out to them, and that they should be allowed to make up their own minds about characters based on the actions of those characters. I'm also trying to be less long-winded (a weakness pointed out by some friends) in order to write according to something Neil Gaiman said, which is to write as though I'm the one who has to pay for every word, not the reader. This will bring down my chapter word counts, and might drive away potential readers, but I believe there's value in learning to compress and be concise. All chapters posted here will have been edited. Constructive criticism, comments, and feedback would be very much welcome and appreciated. Please, please help point out any typos or grammatical mistakes, I'm striving to minimize those as much as possible. Above all, I hope you enjoy my story.

Yin-Yang
Mages in North America seem to have it all – typically from well-off families, and able to manipulate their environment in ways most of the world would never believe. They don’t even have to bother with the mundane details of life like housework, thanks to their sensitives, who also make a useful source for extra magical energy. After all, sensitives have no use for it themselves, and if mages weren’t meant to make use of it, then the sensitives would obviously have some way to prevent that. That a mage can transform a sensitive physically, with no restrictions beyond overall mass and basic biological viability, whereas magic tends not to work directly on any other living thing, is only further proof. And look at the way they live on their own, barely a step above animals. It’s better for them to belong to a mage. Sensitives in North America live on the edge of society and survival – typically so paranoid they avoid hospitals and anything else that could lead to being tracked, many of them with little or no education and no legal identity or existence. Mages exist, and mages want sensitives for some reason, but no one ever comes back to explain what that reason is. Waiting every day for the hunters to notice them doesn’t lead to much motivation or hope for the future. And once they’re captured, they’re the property of someone with a terrifying amount of power over them. Anything is better than capture. Mages are born to be the masters, and sensitives are born victims. Or are they? Jax’s life is turned upside-down when he’s caught by the hunters and sold to a mage. Andreas is still mourning for his previous sensitive, though, unconsciously creating a difficult standard for Jax to live up to, all the more so while still struggling to come to terms with this new reality as Andreas’ sensitive. A runaway sensitive isn’t what Van expects at the mental health centre. Is this a hunter trap, set for him and the rest of the Donovan family by the hunters? The hunters would, after all, love to see them cross the line openly and finally do something they can be charged with. Either way, Miranda’s genuinely in trouble, and he can’t just abandon her to it. Snatching a sensitive out from under the hunters and hiding her is odd behaviour for a mage – but then, Catherine is an odd mage, living in disgrace in the old servants’ quarters of her grandmother’s house, responsible for cooking and housework. Lila owes Catherine her freedom; is there a way to help Catherine achieve her own, and at what price? Tension is building between traditionally-minded mages and those advocating change, and something has to break. *** Yin-Yang includes a small amount of profanity and no graphic sex or on-screen physical violence. However, sex and gender roles and relationships within the mage/sensitive subculture are non-traditional in mainstream North American terms. The key criterion in a primary relationship is not relative sex or gender, but the pairing of mage and sensitive; given the transformation of sensitives by their mages, physical sex is non-absolute for a sensitive, and gender identity can vary as in anyone else. *** *** The way mages treat sensitives is extremely varied and, in some cases is outright abusive. The struggle against that is pretty much the point of the book. It is NOT grimdark or misery-porn! However, if you will be triggered by this, please, don't read Yin-Yang! *** Complete stand-alone novel, 153K words! Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.
