Chapter 536: 536
Chapter 536 Free Falling
The man who messed with Zhang Heng’s gun surely wasn’t in luck tonight . Falling through the roof, he landed in the bathroom, crashing his head on the toilet bowl, hitting it so hard that bright red blood started to gush out . Around ten seconds later, he finally figured Zhang Heng’s plan .
After the massive blow to his head, he struggled to stand up from the ground, stumbling around a little . When he finally got to his feet, he hurriedly collected the playing cards that were scattered all over the floor, even fishing out some floating in the toilet bowl . Those playing cards were game items; every single one of them precious to him . Once making sure that he had all his cards, he pushed the bathroom door open, slowly limping and wincing .
As soon as he got out of the bathroom, he heard the burly man holding the chainsaw bellowing . But unlike the time when he was on the rooftop, this was a roar filled with fear . It caused the one who messed with Zhang Heng’s gun to waste no more time . He tried to push open the door, only to find it locked .
He then drew an ace of hearts from the card box and threw it at the tempered glass beside the door . When the card touched the glass, powerful kinetic energy was emitted, and what resembled a spiderweb spread across the glass surface .
Without hesitation, he drew a second card, and this time, the glass gave way, shattering into smithereens . He quickly rushed to where the strong man was, but the scene before him almost scared him to death . The strong man was sitting on the boss’ chair behind a desk, eyes wide open, face frozen, and very much dead . His body was covered with multiple open wounds, and both his arms were covered in blood . The injury that cost him his life, however, was the deep gash that slit his throat wide open, the part where Zhang Heng struck his Nepalese saber, thereby extinguishing the man’s life .

When Zhang Heng took the saber out, the sneak attack behind him was here . The man who messed with Zhang Heng’s rifle knew that this was a perilous moment . Besides, his leg was still injured . There was no way for him to escape now . Hence, he could only stay back and fight . To stay alive, he had to use everything at his disposal to deal with Zhang Heng . As an act of desperation, he threw his playing cards at his opponent . At almost the exact instant, Zhang Heng kicked the desk over and ducked behind it . The rain of playing cards whooshed through the air, striking the table and cutting deeply through the hard rosewood with ease . Zhang Heng attempted to pry the cards out using his Nepalese sword, only to find that they were so sharp they even left scratches on the surface of the blade!
Seeing that the first wave of attacks failed to injure Zhang Heng, the man that messed with his rifle became even more nervous . He then took out three more cards to throw at Zhang Heng . When he saw that the overturned desk had shielded Zhang Heng, he charged him in a rage, but he was stopped when he saw something . Left in fear with the hairs on his neck standing, he threw the remaining cards in his hand at Zhang Heng . The salvo of cards somewhat managed to halt Zhang Heng’s advance, and he managed to retreat . Soon, he had successfully drawn some distance between him and Zhang Heng, but before he could catch a breath, he realized that his card box was empty . His expressions changed, his face fell to the ground, thinking that he would surely meet his end here like the strong man . At that time, his ally with shadow wings had finally arrived, and he could breathe a sigh of relief . Even if the two failed to beat Zhang Heng, they could at least escape by air .
However, the happy expression on his face only lasted for less than a second . it was then that he noticed the Nepalese saber stuck in his chest, with Zhang Heng standing adjacent to him still in the throwing posture . The last thought crossing his mind was how Zhang Heng could have managed to hit him from such a distance?

The two battles lasted less than three minutes . They ended later than expected, but luckily, Zhang Heng managed to kill them both before they got to reunite . Initially, the man with shadow wings wanted to pounce on Zhang Heng, but after discovering his two companions getting killed one after the other, he quickly changed his mind . He couldn’t have imagined that Zhang Heng, having lost his gun, would fight so fiercely . A slight delay had cost both his allies their lives .
This time, the analysts in the guild’s strategy department had made a colossal mistake . The reports provided by them were utterly inaccurate-it mentioned that Zhang Heng was only good at firearms and that his weakness was close-quarters combat .
Zhang Heng did separate the three of them before the battle began officially . However, the fact that he could kill the strongman with chainsaw one-on-one, and his ally by throwing the saber, were all considered close-quarters combat . If he were to join Arc of Light, he could have quickly become one of their top fighters, not to mention his excellent marksmanship .
The man with shadow wings knew this information had to be sent back to the headquarters . Since he was the only one left, getting rid of Zhang Heng would be a tall order . Fortunately, unlike the other two, had had a pair of shadow wings . It enabled him to have an easy escape if he couldn’t defeat Zhang Heng in the end .
Now that he had made up his mind, he did not stay where he was . He had just entered the building and only two steps away from the window . It would be a quick and easy escape . Although Zhang Heng’s CS5 was now ready to fire again, the rifle fell into oblivion when the roof collapsed . He only needed to look out for Zhang Heng’s throwing saber .
However, what he did not expect was that Zhang Heng would untie the longbow behind him . The man with shadow wings felt a strong sense of uneasiness . Although he did not believe that Zhang Heng could master archery after he mastered marksmanship and swordsmanship, he had witnessed enough miracles tonight, and his faith was sorely shaken .
However, he had no intention to stand there and see himself getting killed . Seeing that Zhang Heng was ready to draw his bow, he jumped out of the window as fast as possible . This time, he kept his wings folded, free-falling like a stone that was dropping from a great height . The last thing that he saw was Zhang Heng pulling the bowstring . Judging by the arrow’s trajectory of the arrow, keeping up with speed he was falling at was impossible .
So, he was relieved . He was planning to fly to the back of the opposite office building first to be completely safe from Zhang Heng’s attack . When his wings were spread halfway, the arrow that had was released from a great distance away drew an arc in the air, defying the law of physics .
And it hit his heart, dead right in the center .
Standing by the window, Zhang Heng witnessed the guy with shadowy wings behind him tumbling and struggling in the air . In the end, he still could not change his destiny . Despite his efforts, he only met a grim fate, slamming into an SUV parked by the roadside, the impact so severe it caused the SUV’s roof to cave in . The windows were all shattered as well .
Then, the SUV’s alarm was triggered .

Katra
Kardin lived a happy and good life. That is, till he was given a strange orb by an even stranger man, maybe even a demon. He watches as his village is burned, the villagers slaughtered and his friend devoured. He escapes into the Jungle of The Gods, a place of ancient ruins and deadly animals. There, he is changed and his fate diverges from what should have been his death. Now he must forge his own path in a world of great beauty and power, where death lurks around the corner and battles between veritable gods are fought. Where nations clash and ancient beings destory civilizations on whims. But unseen cogs move under the surface, events transpiring beyond simple understanding. Strange and powerful items called Artifacts have started to reappear across the land of Auren, empowering their wielders far beyond what cultivation can give. The Traezar Empire and all of Auren are on the precipice of war and strange beings have started to emerge, all with an agenda of their own. Chaos is brewing, and Kardin must survive it, all while trying to attain vengeance and understand his strange and anomalous Katra. ***Current Schedule*** I am currently releasing 1 3,000(Sometimes I end up writing waaaay more) word chapter halfs every week. If there is not some sort of notice as to why I have vanished, then I'm probably dead. Let's hope I don't die then, eh? *Ducks under flying knife* I own this cover, put my own blood, sweat and an hour of my time into it. Ahahaha! This story is inspired (I stress this word, as because most of the story is different) by Will Wight’s Cradle. I highly recommend you read it! (Please for gods sake, if you have something to say, please do it in a curteous fashion. I don’t need any more maniacs flying at me and trying to stab me with sporks, I am already insane enough to fill that role.*Winks*) **What is This Story?** Think cultivation mashed with western fantasy, put into a pot to boil and then drunk while it's pipping hot. All the while a mad man(me) cackles insanely over the pot, stirring. It draws from xianxia lightly, which means no exasperated angry young masters. No “genuis” or “prodigy” MC, one that is not OP, or anything of the like. If you don’t like cultivation novels, this might still be up your alley. MC focuses on “Life Shaping”, see poll 2 for more Info. Warning! If your are squeamish, that gore and traumatizing content tag is there for a reason. I shall dive into both bloody and disturbing scenes and the questionable ethics of manipulating life, and some of it won’t be pretty. With a dose of realism added in. I do add my own evi- I mean despic- no, sorry, interesting twists aswell. >:) Also, I HATE info dumps! *Steps out of the way of a charging semi* Still not dead! Arc 1 (Kindling): Chapter 1 - 13 Arc 2 (Metempsychosis): Chapter 14 - 29 Arc 3 (???): Chapter 30 - ??? A disclaimer, I am new author and am still feeling out my limitations. This story is my hope of bettering my writing skills and to have fun. Buckle up and enjoy the insane journey that is Katra. (Pronounced as cah-tra)

Children of the Sun
Abigaël Chase, an ordinary physicist with an ordinary life on Earth got transported to another world. A world of magic and war, a world where death was never very far. She unexpectedly survived for many years thanks to a hidden power she didn't think she had. The same power that many people, gods and demons alike, wanted to annihilate no matter the cost. Hunted and cornered, Abigaël bet everything on a daring move which nearly ended up in her death. Having acquired a new body, Abigaël must do everything in her power to return to Earth. For Earth was in danger and only herself held to key to its survival. WARNING : It will contain mature content. I checked LitRPG not because there will be game-elements (pop up screen from the "system", the god or something like that) but because of the world mechanic itself (there will be level up, quest/mission, guild, etc?).
