CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR
You dare not say I'm picking on weak monsters anymore
~
He didn’t really know why, but when he read that blue screen
He just started running not sure what ‘delete’ could mean
He ran into the woods farther than he had ever gone
And even when he tired, still he kept slowly moving on
Achievement: Just Go
I do wish I could say that I felt sorry for you, boy
But seeing you like this, alone, I can’t help but enjoy
Hopefully whatever that great ‘System’ does comes soon
What better time to die than on a sunny afternoon
Twig ignored the message and sat down beneath a tree
He was far too hungry to lament his destiny
He rustled through his heavy bag but then noticed something
“It’s pretty full, but it felt so light while I was running”
Achievement: Full of Yourself
Don’t get cocky brat, you’re still the weakest guy ever
I just can’t touch your stats and make them any lower
Please don’t bother training though, you’d only make me laugh
You’ll still wind up dead in at most a day and a half
Twig was hurt by what he read but something still seemed off
The message was specific for a god who’d only scoff
He knew little of the gods, but how could he know that
None could say when in the future their death would be at
Just as he was going to ask what the god could know
He heard a terrifying sound that shook the ground below
He realized he hadn’t paid attention in his haste
And all that he could do was draw the dagger at his waste

A creature known to many who have led a hero’s life
A bear with hide like iron and horns sharper than a knife
They are territorial and hunt their prey alone
Known to eat their prey right down to the very last bone
The beast was of a level that would cause no hero fear
Unfortunately for young Twig, no heroes would appear
But as he read its status he had a pleasant surprise
“At least the monster’s status still looks normal to my eyes”
Achievement: ‘Eyes’ on the Prize
You crack me up you idiot, what do you mean “my eyes”
You’ve only got the one, or have you yet to realize
Anyways, I guess we’ve come to the end of the line
I’m sure this moment will be a new favourite of mine
He almost had to laugh but one eye was more than enough
He would die a hero, free of any curse or buff
And so he charged the Horn Bear with the knife in his right hand
This was good enough a place to make his final stand

His lord has a task for him, one in which will change his life forever. A haunting past eats away at the Queen of Xer. Cara is hellbent on protecting the ones she loves and the future of her kingdom.

Awakening an ancient civilization from their past may be their only hope now. A spiraling doom awaits the world of Isulia. **************** I put the gore warning not because my book is overly gory (It's not constantly blood and guts). However, there are several moments that are extremely violent. I've always loved shows/movies such as, (The Expanse, The Boys, Banshee, Kingdom of heaven, Vikings, Attack on Titan, Baccano, etc.) I am descriptive of the scenes with violence. So be warned :) I've worked long and hard and have finally finished my third draft. Still needs work but everything storywise is complete. There are still a few things I need to add and tweak. Grammatical errors and flushing out the characters and dialogue still needs work. If you see any errors or plot holes, please feel free to point them out. It helps me improve upon the story.

Heavenly Rebirth - The Martial Hero's Journey
Martial Warriors battle it out in forests, destroying trees in single punches and kicks, uprooting them with ease. There is a world hidden underneath the mundane realm of mortals, one where martial prowess is everything, and living and dying by the edge of one's blade is natural. This world... is being threatened. Enter Kang Yilan, a seventeen-year-old convict sentenced to life, whiling away her days mining ores in the southern mountains when she happens upon a fateful encounter. Read as she embarks on a journey that will change her life, and the lives of millions of others, forever. NaNoWriMo challenge :D and [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Some magic elements are borrowed from Savage Divinity and a handful of other good wuxia/xianxia stories, but the story itself is pretty original if I do say so myself. If you feel bothered by my borrowing elements from other magic systems, a) I'm not making money off of this... yet, and b) almost all Xianxia copy each other. This one, at least, has direction where other xianxia don't.
