"A hint of remorse? I would rather step over her dead body and her soul every day. I would rather spit on the plants that were nurtured by her blood. A person like her should be spurned forever by the Alps!" Edith declared in a disgusted voice.
She looked completely different from her usual appearance. Her iciness and cruelty made her look like she had been Possessed by a demon. She looked scary and unfamiliar, yet it was in fact the true nature of the girl that had grown up in the Alps and received the best education. Headmistress Perry had personally taught her magic...
The sacred Alps could raise someone like Amelia, who was like a Snow Lavender, full of love for the world, just as it could also raise a murderer like Edith, who was unrepentant even when she was covered in fresh blood. Even when they found out who the culprit was, no one was relieved to learn the truth. Their breaths felt sour from heaviness and sorrow.
"Then why did you place Herr Casa under a Curse? He had nothing to do with you!" Mu Bai spoke up in confusion.
"He deserved it. He told everyone he was feeling unwell, yet he asked me to go to his room to accompany him!" Edith spat coldly.
"We'll hand her to the Casas; I believe they won't have any excuse to trouble us again." Jessie was standing behind Edith, prepared to take her down.
Edith did not resist. She knew it was meaningless to put up a fight. Brianca, Perry, and Ceylan's cultivation levels were something she would never reach in this life.
Headmistress Perry was speechless. She headed to Faerun Castle alone, her hands behind her. She did not want any help from the students. Her stooped back gradually faded into the distance.

Jessie took Edith away and allocated several Maga to keep an eye on her, preventing her from running away.

"Mo Fan, why do you look so down, even though you've already found the culprit?" Li Ximei came over. Her beautiful eyes flickered in admiration.
Li Ximei did not think Mo Fan was very observant or smart, after putting aside his extraordinary strength. She was utterly clueless about the whole incident, yet Mo Fan was able to figure out the truth from such tiny details!
"I already checked. Edith poisoned the venison that the kitchen had prepared for Herr Casa," Mo Fan said.
"So does that mean Herr Casa was poisoned first?" Brianca said.
"Not necessarily, we only knew where the poison came from. Who knew if Herr Casa was Cursed when he was trying to do something to Edith. I wonder where Edith learned these things. They are clearly not her Elements," Mo Fan replied.
"Indeed, that's the confusing part, but I guess if a person is harboring malicious thoughts, they will find a way to do evil," Brianca said.
"There are a few things that I still don't understand," Mo Fan said.
"She did poison Herr Casa…," Mo Fan sighed. "Forget it, I feel like my brain is about to explode after the past few days." Mo Fan shook his head and glanced at the stars in the sky.
"Mo Fan, you really impressed us. As expected of someone from the Clearsky Hunter Agency, we admire you from the bottom of our hearts!" Professor Li smiled.
"You have done the Alps Institute a great favor. I believe the dean will give you her full support during the trial. The Alps Institute will forever be in your debt, too. The entrance will always remain open for you!" Professor Zheng declared.

"I almost forgot that I'm going to be put on trial in a few days; if you hadn't reminded me..." Mo Fan smiled wryly.

The next morning, a huge blast woke Mo Fan from a deep sleep. The vase in his room fell to the floor and broke into pieces from the shockwave.
Mo Fan rose to his feet, sulking over the noise that had woken him up. Shouldn't everything have come to an end now? It was meant to be a quiet, peaceful morning, with the pleasant chirping of birds. Where did the noise even come from?
Mo Fan quickly changed and followed the noise. He saw two powerful auras clashing with one another. The loud blasts were produced when the force of their auras collided with the nearby buildings.
"Headmistress Perry, are you sure about this?" Elder Ling asked Headmistress Perry, his face angry.
Headmistress Perry stood there in plain clothes. She seemed more haggard than yesterday, but she had a vivid light in her eyes as she faced off against Elder Ling from the Casas. Their formidable auras prevented anyone from coming within a few hundred meters of them.
"I've made up my mind! If Elder Ling really wants to cause a scene in the Alps Institute or hurt any of my innocent students, I will not let you leave in one piece, even if it means sacrificing my life! Elder Ling, Edith is my student. Even though she has committed such an unforgivable crime, she is still a student of the Alps Institute. She will be punished by the Magic Courts accordingly, but I will not hand her to the Casas so you can torture her soul forever!" Headmistress Perry declared firmly.
Headmistress Perry did not compromise in the slightest. She went from being utterly respectful to the Casas to resisting them completely. It felt like the woman had changed into a different person. It gave Mo Fan a new impression of the old hag!
Edith was watching, too. Her face was cold, yet her eyes shuddered with a slight hint of emotion after hearing Headmistress Perry's words.
"Headmistress Perry, we aren't afraid of the Casas. If they truly want to take us on, so be it. We must teach them that the Alps Institute is not afraid of anyone!"
"Headmistress, it's time to teach this arrogant clan what we are capable of!"
The voices supporting Headmistress Perry grew louder. Headmistress Perry could have easily handed Edith over to the Casas. She might still have had a chance to redeem the relationship between the Alps Institute and the Casas, but she had decided otherwise.
The Alps Institute had its own dignity. Even if a student had committed a serious crime, she would receive the fairest judgment as long as she still had the seal of their school. The school would not hand her over to the Casas under pressure!
It was the real Alps Institute, smooth and fair, with flesh of ice and bones of jade, firm as a mountain glacier!
"Perhaps this is the power that Amelia's gift has given them!" Mo Fan exclaimed when he saw this side of the Alps Institute.

The Monster Inside: The First Vampire
Despite appearances, there was once a time where monsters did not exist. Where peace and prosperity reigned over all life. But those sinful and demonic forces that had hidden themselves in the shadows just couldn't help themselves could they? They wanted a piece of that prosperity too. They wanted to taint it, corrupt it, revel in its dark side.This is the story of a boy who was tainted. Of a boy who unintentionally bore a seed of sin and who in his naivety let it out. This is the story of how that boy was shamed and disgraced. Of how he was outcast for simply being. This is the story of how that boy learned to embrace the darkness that made him different. A darkness that would later make him known as the Lord of Night. Note to Reader: I understand this book is not for everyone, if there is a writer that can write to please everyone, I have never heard of them. The MC can be frustrating in his decisions as he learns to grow and accept what and who he is. I believe this reality is unavoidable. That being said, if you feel the need to give a review, please do so, just know that I will report you if all that review seems to do is blab toxic language and insult my literary choices without giving constructive advice or alternatives. That's not just a me policy, that's a policy of this website. I'm not writing this note because I'm a writer who does not acknowledge that there are faults in my work. I know there are. That's what happens when it hasn't been professionally edited by someone other than the author. I'm saying this because I'm sick of reading 1 star or 0.5 star rated reviews that seem to do nothing but hate on the book because they don't like the story. No comments on grammar, ways to improve or suggestions for better story arcs. Just plain hate. It's not on, and I frankly shouldn't have to write this note, but needed to get it off my chest. In saying all that, thank you to those who do leave reviews that don't fall into the above category. Your appreciation of my work, or alternatively, your willingness to give advice for improvement, is appreciated.

All Stats Random
Un-reality, the greatest game in the century just launched and Chris starts to play it. He wants to change his circumstances, which are through no fault of his own. But fate doesn't let it be that simple. He gets a hidden unique class, but that class has a special ability, one that randomizes all his stats whenever it wants? What? The world truly can't be fair to him. Not even in a game. Now he has to figure out a way to make this odd quirk of his class work. When he smiles, the world loves him.When he laughs, the world fears him. (and that was my stab at trying to imitate those chinese synopses) Regular chapters, once or twice per week. On the weekends usually. I will finish this novel, be it takes 1 year or 2. It will get a proper ending. Afterall, the ending is paramount. Also, the readers might feel rewarded if they look closely while reading. I try to be quite mindful and put in interesting details or things that would come into play later. And, personally i think that reviews on this site might as well be pointless. Unless you know the reviewer and think that you share his views. Your thoughts on a particular thing (like a novel) can differ from others. So, do give it a try before arbitrarily deciding. This is my try to perfect the 'master of all/everything' type of MC, inside a proper, realistic VR world, from a game design perspective and immersion and no convenient 'convert gold to irl currency' button. It is going to be a game first of all. Not a fantasy world overloaden with status screens and skills you can't possibly keep track of. A game with all of the real world aspects to it. Not a cheap fantasy world with shoehorned in stats.

Unique Fusion Magic Hex
World Essence. The mysterious energy coursing throughout the entire land of Vor'ten, and very possibly the entire world. This energy has allowed humanity to flourish, building great empires and vast kingdoms, conquering nature itself with just a sweep of their hand. Humans were the strongest existence, and with the help of channeling this World Essence, many were able to turn into Magic Knights, gaining magical abilities to combat the various fierce beasts throughout the lands.Alas... those glory days of old were long gone. Humanity has now been pushed to the brink of destruction, and now the remaining members of the human race are encased within giant domes known as 'Alkkras', made with the last remaining bits of the World Essence. It was said that those giant domes were the last gifts left by the remnants of the ancient human race, as a means to protect the future generation from the attacks of the many wild beasts roaming outside. Five Spiritualist Invokers, all combined together, used the last bit of the World Essence and sacrificed their lives to lay a gigantic, 1028-seal formation magic array to form these barriers, forever saving humanity, but also trapping humanity within these barriers.However, the humans were never completely helpless. No matter how little World Essence was left, the humans still had some remaining. Realizing the incoming crisis, the humans found a way to seal World Essence inside a special type of crystal. Soon, these crystals began to become implanted into weapons, turning them into World Essence Weapons, and they began to display properties of their own. Extreme heat. Bone chilling cold. Absurd sharpness. These normal weapons, after being imbued with the energy of the World Essence Crystals, began to form natural affinities to elements. Fire. Water. Earth. Wind. Darkness. Light. Using these weapons, one could become a Chevalier that wielded the power of the elements.However, if one wanted to reach a higher level of enlightenment and understanding, one could become an Invoker. Via the study of magic array formations, one could directly use the power of the World Essence to cast devastating magics upon the enemy. These people were Invokers, highly valued for their combat potential by the Army. These weapons and magical arrays were used in the great fight between the humans and the beasts long ago. They had long since been put away in storage, almost long forgotten...However, after ten-thousand years of suppression, the human race is beginning its counterattack against the Beasts... Synth was an Invoker in the Magecroft Academy. However, his talent was terrible, being only at the Spark Stage. This led to him being looked down upon and bullied. He was unable to cast any Calamity-rank or even Destruction rank spells, and was only able to cast Coalescing rank spells at the age of 17, a record low in the academy for cultivating these rare Invokers. Even though he put in more effort than anyone else, he was still unable to advance his Channeling Energy. But due to his constant research and study, Synth ended up creating a power that would go against the heavens - he had found how to Fuse spells together. After trying it out once, merging the magical array for the Small Fireball and the Mortal Judgement skills, he was able to create a mid-rank Destruction tier spell, Holy Judgement Flame. However, after this, no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to fuse more spells together or even cast them, and noticed a weird, pentagram shaped formation on his left arm. He would later call this mark the Fusion Magic Hex, a curse that prevented the wielder from casting magic that wasn't their own...This meant that with the exception of Synth's newly created skill, , he was going to have to create unique magic arrays if he ever wanted to step on the path of becoming an Invoker! This power that destroyed the laws of the Invoking System, and his unyielding persistence in testing and creating new spells, would later gain Synth the nickname the Unique Fusion Hex, and lead him to become one of the strongest beings in the entire World!
