《Indestructible God King》Chapter 27.2: Virtue Merits For Slaying Demons (2/2)

“Bull crap! I risked my life to scam them silly. I risked my life to dig through the Heavenly Wolf Sect’s ancestral grave. I earned this! Give me my reward now! There’s a seal on the storage bangle that you can’t break. Don’t try to cheat me out of my money!” Zhang Zhengdao jumped angrily.
Princess Youyue looked at the two of them awkwardly.
“Take a look,” said Wang Ke as he took out the storage bangle, reluctantly handing it over to Zhang Zhengdao, “Is it this one?”
“Yes, that’s the one. Give it to me, now!” Zhang Zhengdao snatched it over excitedly.
He only felt relieved after making sure that the seal was still there.
After that, he used his essence energy to force the storage bangle open.
“Rumble!”
A series of muffled sounds could be heard from the storage bangle, caused by Zhang Zhengdao’s efforts.
“It has a password lock; it can’t be opened except by Zhang Shenxu himself. Why don’t you ask the princess for help?” Wang Ke suggested.
“No need. Zhang Shenxu is at the Golden Core stage. I’m also a Golden Core cultivator. His password, ptooey, the seal will be opened soon!” Zhang Zhengdao quickly placed the storage bangle behind his back, away from the other two.
“We’re not going to snatch it from you!” Princess Youyue said. Zhang Zhengdao’s actions were bizarre to her.
“Princess, I know you won’t snatch it from me. But I’m not sure about Wang Ke, this iron rooster. He hasn’t seen the treasures inside the bangle, or else he would surely pounce on me! This belongs to me. All the treasures inside are mine… I exchanged them with my life!” Zhang Zhengdao exclaimed, visibly agitated.
“Forget it, just let him be. Princess Youyue, you’re also at the Golden Core stage now. If it’s not too troublesome, could you help me break these seals too?” Wang Ke requested, looking at the princess.

“Sure!” Princess Youyue nodded.
Zhang Zhengdao was at a loss. Help you break seals?Don’t tell me you have more storage bangles?
While Zhang Zhengdao was still confused about the situation, Wang Ke took out five storage bangles from his chest pocket!
Five?Storage bangles?
Zhang Zhengdao’s jaw dropped. Where did Wang Ke get those bangles?
Before Zhang Zhengdao could ask, he saw Wang Ke take out six more storage bangles from his sleeves, pants, and shoes.
“Eleven? That’s impossible. I must be seeing things. Where did Wang Ke get that many storage bangles?” Zhang Zhengdao mumbled as he rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
“I only have these many. Sorry to trouble you, Princess Youyue. Let me take stock of my storage bag first!” Wang Ke sighed in amazement.
As he spoke, he took out thirty-two storage bags. Wang Ke’s body shrunk in the blink of an eye.
“Gulp!” Zhang Zhengdao swallowed his saliva.
“Wang Ke, where did you get so much good stuff? Did you pillage an immortal sect? When did you do that?” Zhang Zhengdao asked, glaring at him.
“Enough with the rubbish. Take out Zhang Shenxu’s stuff and give me back my storage bangle!” Wang Ke replied with a stare.
Seeing Wang Ke acting so coldblooded, Zhang Zhengdao said with a bitter face, “Humph. You’re such a petty man, to not even answer my question. I curse you so that you only find trash in those storage bangles and bags... Not even a pound of spirit stones!”
But how could there be nothing in those demons’ storage bags? Wang Ke opened each storage bag, and a bright light shone from the treasures contained within, lighting up the entire hall. Zhang Zhengdao’s eyes reddened with jealousy.
“Wang Ke, this storage bangle is already open. There’s a hundred thousand pounds of spirit stones, thirty medicine bottles, and some minor enchanted artifacts! Wah, there’s a flying sword?” Princess Youyue marveled as she handed over the first storage item.

The heart of the nearby Zhang Zhengdao thumped heavily. He felt desperate, eager to simply leap over and snatch everything from Wang Ke. But he no longer dared to act recklessly since Wang Ke had become Chen Tianyuan’s disciple.
“Oh? Sun Song’s flying sword? It’s so so. Princess Youyue, please open the other bangles too, thank you!” Wang Ke said.
“Piece of cake!” The princess continued cracking the password locks for Wang Ke.
Zhang Zhengdao’s teeth itched in envy. Still, he could only wish that there would be more treasures in Zhang Shenxu’s storage bangle. Zhang Shenxu’s storage seal was very strong, which made it extremely difficult for him to break.
--------
Outside the Heavenly Wolf Sect—
Zhang Shenxu rested on a crane, wrapped in bandages; Zhang Li'er’s eyes burned in anger as he looked at him. She felt even more indignant after hearing her younger brother’s recount of the events.
“Wang Ke and Zhang Zhengdao? Don’t worry. I will avenge you!” Zhang Li'er said coldly.
“No, sister. I will claim revenge on my own! Let me do it myself!” Zhang Shenxu said with a murderous rage.
“But...?”
“No buts. I will rinse away this humiliation!” Zhang Shenxu was determined.
“Okay! But did they take away everything from you after you were struck down by lighting? Shall I go back and get them to return it to you?” Zhang Li'er was worried.
“It’s all right!” Zhang Shenxu responded with a deep voice.
“Oh?”
“My white fan entered my body to protect me. It guarded my heart meridian, and it’s still inside my body. I didn’t lose it! Most of my possessions are inside the white fan! There’s nothing much inside the storage bangle; those are all worthless things, let them have it. I will take it as giving handouts to beggars. Humph, I shall exact my revenge later!” Zhang Shenxu said disdainfully.
“So, all the items in the storage bangle they snatched from you were rubbish? Okay then! Let’s forget about it. Humph!” Zhang Li'er snorted coldly.

Living In The System - A LitRPG with more story, less text boxes
In the ancient echoes upon it’s great boughs, Yggdrasil holds all the knowledge in existence. Indeed, all of creation swings from its immense branches and leaves.

A great battle raged in its dew drops and amongst its roots. A War for control. For knowledge is power, and power is everything. A furtive glance over her shoulder told the hurried goddess that she was not being followed. That was good. What she had just done would be a great risk. Placing a new thread on a world so soon to be destroyed was costly. She would be greatly diminished, but her work was not done yet. In the myriad of infinite worlds, there lies Genia. A starter world, of very little importance. It is where she will find her champion. Killian never got the chance to see the world. Yet he is given opportunity. Opportunity not just to see the world, but to change it... to change all of creation. There are many stories to tell upon the Tree of Yggdrasil, where all of creation hangs from its branches.

A Titan's Crusade
Erik Thayne spent most of his life being brutally ridiculed and tormented for his weight and physical appearance, among other things. A social pariah and diagnosed with an eating disorder no one has an explanation or treatment for, Erik spent years trying to overcome his issues with his personal image and escape the ridicule and vicious torment of his peers. After years of dedicated effort, and a fresh start in a town away from his childhood and adolescent tormentors, he had finally begun to truly realize what he'd been striving for all along. Only, fate apparently has other plans because in the blink of an eye, Erik found himself snatched from Earth and taken to another universe, another world, where he is offered the chance to be more than he'd ever imagined. Now, he has to fight to restore the Balance between Chaos and Order on a world of swords and magic, in a universe governed by the System's laws, which resemble those of RPGs from Earth. Erik learned to embrace the things about himself that others taught him to hate, using them to reforge his physical identity into something more removed from his old self-loathing. But can he learn to embrace the darkest parts of his mind just as he did the reviled aspects of his body and become who he needs to be to succeed in the task set before him? It might just prove easier to stalk in the dark as a monster than to walk in the light as a man... *This is my first time publishing anything I've written to a public audience. Due to formatting issues, I forwent traditional stat-screens for something a little less problematic, delineating stat screens by separating them from regular text with horizontal lines in a lighter-grey coloration. Let me know if you like them or not. Criticism is entirely welcome, but please don't hate on my work after only reading 1 chapter. This is a writing project I intend to complete but I have committment problems so we'll see how long this goes on. Also, fair warning, as the description implies, the main protagonist is intended to be someone who has been treated cruelly, developed antisocial tendencies, and ultimately has to question his own humanity--or lack thereof. This story is not intended to be brutally dark but I will definitely be trying to follow a darker theme. It is intended to be violent and some scenes later in the story might be...alarming. There will likely also be some light, non-graphic (think more implied with crude jokes and conversation than actual details, there will be no full-blown sex scenes)relationship scenes planned later and if you're opposed to either a bisexual or gay main character, stay away. I haven't yet decided which way he's going to swing but the odds on him being straight are relatively miniscule, and I've always wanted to write a story about a gay man who basically looks like a lumberjack because who doesn't like giving conventional stereo-types the middle finger? This will NOT be a harem story, and I have no intention to focus on romance over action--it's a consequence of character development where I'm concerned, not the be-all-end-all of the story. The cover-art does not, in any way, belong to me. It was an image titled the Druid King (by duskanmarkovic according to the file name) which I found on Google Images. Until I can get something commissioned, this is the best stand-in image I could find.
