《Light of Returning Darkness》CH 15 – KRONOS (1)
Advertisement
Both types of blood entered his heart at the same time by the previous ratio.
His blue eyes gradually changed their color to purple.
Once they completely changed, Feng Luotian’s aura turned to an amethyst-color gaseous flame with golden lightning sparkling around the flame.
“Yah!!” Feng Luotian shouted out, and his lightning-flame aura busted out scorching everything within the room to dust. From his body, lightning struck upward leaving a huge hole on the ceiling, then continued to the sky changing the weather in the process.
The rain started to fall. Feng Luotian deactivated his Theríon as he heavily panted nonstop while kneeling on the ground.
After catching his breath and his countenance getting better, Feng Luotian slowly stood up. He activated his Theríon again and looked at his hands covered by the lightning-flame aura, he emotionally roared: “Hahaha!! My very own bloodline!! The one and only!!
Staring at his own reflection from the puddle on the floor, Feng Luotian touched his eyes: “Let’s call it Purple-eyes Heavenly Demon Phoenix bloodline."
Looking up at the sky, while facing the high heaven, Feng Luotian domineeringly shouted: "With this ability, I will become a God Immortal without a doubt!! Those who dare to touch anyone I wish to protect shall die without mercy!!”
Lightning danced within the cloud as thunder roared out a sound.
It seemed like heaven had responded to Feng Luotian some way.
Feng Luotian turned his attention back to his body: “Let’s see what kind of ability I got.” He then fully activated his Theríon and tried to see what his new ability would be.
In the following moment, two lines of words and a square symbol made of light appeared floating in the air right in front of him.

Feng Luotian furrowed his brows, confused: “KRONOS? What is this? If this is really a special ability of my new bloodline, then it is completely different from what Little Yun got back then.”
‘Little Yun’ was his only disciple and also the first bloodline interfuser in his past life.
Feng Luotian placed his right hand on the square symbol of light.
[Register complete]
After that, the floating words of light changed.
What happened next gave huge bewilderment to Feng Luotian who had lived for more than five hundred years.
STATUS
Name: Feng Luotian
Level: One Fang (413% >> Upgrade? [Yes] or [No])
Bloodline: Purple-eyes Heavenly Demon Phoenix bloodline
Skill 1: Pinnacle Flash Lightning Level 1 (0/500)
Wrap the user’s body in lightning. Speed +200%. Lightning Resistance +20%.
Ability 1: Last Dance Curse Level 1
Increase the user’s power level by 1 for 5 minutes. However, the user has to collect 10 souls within 5 minutes, otherwise, the user’s level will be decreased by 2.
Ability 2: Momentum Eyes Level 1
The user can see the momentum and projectile of every object within 20 meters.
“!?” No words came out for a while. Even the Young Emperor could not find an explanation for this.
Feng Luotian: “Can this be called a special ability of a bloodline? A power to accurately know oneself? At least there is something familiar: Father’s Last Dance Curse and Mother’s Momentum Eyes. But as expected, the original abilities’ powers have greatly fallen until they are barely usable. Now I have to collect 10 souls within 5 minutes? It was only 1 soul before. And the time limit should be at about 30 minutes at One Fang.”
To collect souls was to kill someone and refine their souls. Feng Luotian needed to kill 10 people just to raise his cultivation for one level for just 5 minutes. This ability literally made him out to be a ruthless murderer.

Feng Luotian continued: “And my Momentum Eyes has 20 meters range before it was about 250 meters at One Fang. Anyway, there must be something worth sacrificing these two abilities. Level: One Fang 413%? Upgrade? Let’s try then.”
Feng Luotian tapped at the word [Yes].
Level: Two Fangs (313% >> Upgrade? [Yes] or [No])
“What?!!”
Sensing his own cultivation level, Feng Luotian became even more shocked now: “I broke through to Two Fangs just like that? Does the bottleneck not exist with my new bloodline?”
Cultivation’s [bottleneck] was a stagnation every cultivator had to face when they reached the peak of their current level.
At that peak, to break through to the next level without any mishaps, cultivators needed [comprehension] which was to comprehend the profundity of their own bloodline and Theríon. One would have to capture an essence of what their next level would be before they decided to attempt their advancement.
There was also another part of the breakthrough process. It was a [modification].
When cultivators realized that they had completely comprehended the profundity, a modification was usually how they burst their Theríon all at once, emptying their soul core. After that, they would use their comprehension to adjust, improve, or remodel their whole Theríon, and then put all of it back into their soul core to complete the process of cultivation level advancement.
All of these processes required a tremendous amount of time and effort. One would need to be extremely focused and concentrated without any disturbance, or else, they would encounter a disaster.
Once they had done it wrong, after they put their Theríon back to their soul core, the Theríon would either rebel or explode, causing their soul core to suffer damage, which led to two results: energy deviation or death.
This would be a usual process for cultivation level advancement.
However, there was what they called a [trigger].
A trigger usually came by emotions, such as anger, fear of death, or will to protect those one loved, et cetera. The trigger would push one’s limit and let them be able to advance in their cultivation even before they could completely comprehend their own bloodline.
Furthermore, they could skip such troublesome processes and directly break through to their next level. Nevertheless, the aftermath of such advancement could also leave a scar inside their soul core and would take effect later in their cultivation path, lessen their potential to grow in the future.
One obvious example of the cultivation advancement by trigger was when Feng Luotian got eaten by the Wight Wolf. Both Sun Wuji and Mei Yue’er experienced a traumatic surge of emotion, pushing their own limit until they broke through to their next cultivation level.
Fortunately, with an incredible effect from the energy light wisp of Eternal Dao Lotus Seed at that time, the scars that would subsequently block their talents in cultivation were completely healed.
Feng Luotian stated as he enjoyed this moment: “The percentage of 413% at the start should be whatever energy I have absorbed from the monster cores everyone gave me. Since it can be upgraded again, let’s try more.”
Feng Luotian tapped at the word [Yes] again and again.
Level: Three Fangs (113% >> Upgrade? [Yes] or [No]) Level: Four Fangs (13%)
With that, Feng Luotian effortlessly became a Four Fangs Fighter. He started to grin and began to laugh like a madman: “Hehe. Hehe. Hahaha!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! I don’t mind however those two innate abilities become anymore.”
This was heaven-defying enough to blow anyone in this world out of their mind. Just absorbing enough energy and he could breakthrough at any moment without going through any of the troublesome aforementioned processes.

A Nerd's Wet Dream Come True (Tossing an OC into Marvel)
John was an average man. At least that's what he tells himself at night. He lived in a rented apartment in the decent district, a well-paying job, and more student debt than he cared to think about being steadily paid off. Yet he was absolutely miserable. He spent his days living like a zombie, a slave in all but name to corporate. His only joy these days it seems was reading comics and writing fanfics. SI ones. Choke full of power fantasies and large harems. Yeah, even he had to admit he was a loser. His only redeeming feature seemed to be his photographic memory and the library's worth of comics and books he has read. Yet, when fate took pity on him and had John transported into the Marvel Universe, he was only all too happy to oblige. A second chance to make something of himself. Is he going to finally have the comfortable life he wanted? Will he laze away relying on his past life's knowledge or does he want more this time? Will his ambition and hard work lead to sweet fruits, or will it rot away in the darkness hiding beneath the colorful costumes of the hero's society? Now with crossovers! Be warned if you don't like to see OCs messing up the timeline or DC and other stuff showing up. I swear I'm not randomly adding stuff and there is a legitimate (as far as comic books and fanfics can be) plot reason why. (I'll be honest, I don't know "cannon" marvel really... I watched some movies and animated series as a kid, but I haven't picked up a comic in years. This is just some light-hearted and casual writing for fun. If there are any errors or something you think would be cool please let me know.) I'm also trying to have multiple main characters so that might be jarring for some people while I switch perspective. Sorry in advance, I'm new at this and idk what I'm doing, advice and feedback gladly welcomed!

Not Another Isekai RPG Story Alternate
The story ends at Alternate Route Finale. Ch 2-2 and on can be treated as Extra Chapters. I still hadn't edited that one and it's low on priority. I may come back to it if I'm in the mood. Most of the portions of the story will NOT focus on the skills, stats, grinding or battles. More about the dialogues (or the internal monologues) and the MC interacting with the world (or glitching, if you name it.). ... With parts of his memory lost, Takeshi, a 25-year old lazy office worker was transported to a game world. Using his casual knowledge on video-game mechanics, join Takeshi's journey as he discover more about the world, his companions and himself. (only if you're interested though.) My personal review: from ch-2 on expect a lot of perversion going on. It can be pretty weird, like the MC want to be a girl and Y*ri other girls, Fut*nari folks, Traps, the mention of t*ntacle monsters and some lulzy display (like shoving a morning star up someone's b*tthole in retaliation). In here, the MC will discover new things as he kept on exploring and trying different stuff. This story will mostly be character-driven. Explanations about the world and its mechanics was kept to a minimum. The MC's on the shameless side with not much real-life common sense (maybe) and he's (probably) not righteous at all. The other characters can be pretty weird as well. It won't focus on romance. Well that's about it.

Lost souls, will be rewritten soon. (Old version)
In a world where mages stand above the peasants, the nobles, and the law, it is not surprising that everyone wants to learn magic. Five siblings from a village in the middle of nowhere felt the same. Unfortunately, a dragon brought ruin to their home, eventually cornering the five blood brothers. Luz, the eldest brother, ignored the warnings of his ancestors for the sake of their survival. Using an ancient teleportation spell, he and his siblings were sucked into a portal leading to God-knows-where. In a foreign place far from home, Luz carries the burden of disobeying his ancestors and losing his younger brothers. He sets off to reunite his siblings and slay the dragon that destroyed their village while only being equipped with one useless space spell that drains all his mana after one usage. Author's note: English isn't my first language and this is the first novel I tried writing, which is why some of the earlier chapters aren't that good, even though I grew better over time. I'm still in the phase of editing a lot of my earlier chapters. But unfortunately, I haven't yet found any time for it. Daily updates are to be expected till we reach chapter 100. If your comment motivates me, I might upload up to five chapters.^^
