Chapter 280: 280
Outside the black fog Domain, in front of the Gates of Hell.
Nikorei’s attention was completely focused on the dark door not far ahead.
According to her observation.
The opening of the single passageway of the Gates of Hell was almost today.
Therefore, in the past few days.
She had never left this place.
While she was observing, her mind suddenly moved and her gaze shifted to another direction.
Then, in the next moment.
Nikorei’s beautiful face changed.
That was…

Nikorei was stunned for a moment. Then, her eyes darkened as she narrowed her eyes and looked over there.
Beside him.
Other than observing the movements of the Gates of Hell, Quentin also did not forget to pay attention to her movements. After all, this woman was an extremely powerful existence. Any strange actions of hers were very noteworthy.
So, when Nikorei suddenly looked in another direction.
His gaze subconsciously followed her.
And then…
His expression changed just like Nikorei’s.
He saw it.
Countless bolts of lightning descended. It was silent, and he could not hear the slightest movement.
This movement was very far away.
Although this scene also happened in the Black Swamp, it was very far away from them. If he flew over like this, he would probably need a few hours.
Other than the endless lightning.
He also saw.
When the lightning lit up, countless black fog surged up into the sky from behind.
Although it looked like an ordinary black fog, even from such a distance, Quentin could still sense a rather strange and eerie aura from it.
What made him widen his eyes the most.
Was the endless black fog that soared into the sky.
Looking from afar, it actually looked like a giant that was entirely made of black fog!
The sky was above his head, and his feet were on the ground!
Besides the black fog giant, there was also a scythe that was also made of black fog. It looked incomparably sharp, and was quite breathtaking.

On this black fog giant’s body.
Quentin felt a very familiar aura.
This aura…
He had it, and so did Nikorei. All the A rank existences he knew had it…
Faith!!
This was the power of faith!
He could sense a very strong power of faith from this black fog giant!!
“This is?!”
Quentin’s expression changed drastically.
This scene…
Was very similar to when he had advanced to A rank!
Thinking of this, an unbelievable guess appeared in his mind… could it be that someone had advanced to A rank?!!
How was this possible?!
From the looks of it, the suffocating aura on the other party was clearly not the aura of a normal mage, but more like an aura of a strange creature.
And before coming to the Black Swamp…
It was not that he had not investigated the situation in the Black Swamp.
After all, this piece of land was very dangerous.
According to the results of his previous investigation, other than the current A rank strange creature, the remaining B+ rank strange creatures were quite numerous. However, even the strongest oddities were still quite a distance away from A rank.
At that time, he had also come to a conclusion based on this situation.
That was that it was impossible for the black swamp to produce a new A rank strange creature within the next ten years!!
He did not expect that, in just a few days, he had already been slapped in the face.
Quentin’s face was filled with disbelief.
Who was it?
Which strange creature was it?!
Just as he was thinking about this…
A trembling and hoarse voice suddenly came from the side.
“This figure is… It’s him?!”
“What happened to him? How did he become so scary?!”
Quentin looked over and saw Garros, who was next to Nikorei, pointing at the figure in the sky not far away. He was very frightened.
Quentin raised his eyebrows and immediately asked, “do you know him?”

“Which strange creature is it?”
Nikorei glanced at Quentin when she heard that and did not say anything.
Garros was also stunned when he heard that.
He felt strange.
He knew that this guy called Quentin was from the Hanluo Sect… did they not come here to catch the Scarecrow? Why did they not recognize the scarecrow now?
However, he did not hide it. He pointed at the giant shadow in the sky and told him.
“He is the scarecrow.”

Boom!!
Garros’s answer made Quentin feel as if he had been struck by lightning.
He had never expected that.
This scarecrow had actually advanced to an A rank in front of his eyes?
How long had he been born?
How could he have advanced to an A rank just like that?
Quentin was filled with disbelief. However, when he shifted his gaze to the huge shadow, he realized that this huge shadow was starting to resemble the scarecrow in his head.
Scythe…
The same weapon.
Combined with the reactions of the people around him, it seemed like there was no mistake.
At this moment, Quentin felt that this world was filled with absurdity.
Was this not scarecrow recently upgraded to B+ rank? Why did it suddenly upgrade to A rank after a trip to the Black Swamp? Could it be that it was so simple to upgrade to A rank now?
He looked at Nikorei from the corner of his eyes.
In the end, he realized that the other party was the same as him, and her face was filled with shock.
It was just that the other party had concealed it quite well, so it was difficult for others to notice.
“Damn it!”
“If I had known earlier that I would have killed this strange creature when I first arrived here!!”
Quentin’s expression was unsightly.
Of course, he was only feeling extremely regretful now.
He did not have the slightest bit of fear.
After all, in his heart, even if this scarecrow really advanced to an A class, it would not be a match for him!
It was just a scarecrow.
Moreover, it was just entering an A rank. Although it was worthy of his attention, it was not to the extent that it made him feel afraid.
Compared to before.
At most, it would just take a little more effort.
Quentin’s face was gloomy as he stared at the huge figure in the distance. He began to calculate in his heart.
However, beside him.
At this moment, Garros’s expression was as fearful as it could be.
Amongst everyone present.
In terms of understanding of the scarecrow, no one could compare to him!
He was also filled with fear towards the scarecrow.
This fear was a fear towards the scarecrow’s terrifying strength.
Back then, when this scarecrow was still at C rank, he was already able to unleash his immense strength and beat up his invincible squad to bits and pieces. Even a B+ rank like him was heavily injured.
Now, this scarecrow was already at A rank.
God knows how strong his opponent was now!
Of course, this was not what frightened him the most.
After all, he was currently beside Nikorei. Even if the scarecrow had really advanced to A rank, it wasn’t likely to be a match for Nikorei at the moment.
What frightened him the most.
The speed at which the scarecrow had advanced!
How long had this Scarecrow been a strange creature?!
It had only been half a year, yet it had already advanced to A rank!
Advertisements
In his impression, even if Nikorei had shocked everyone with her speed of advancement, it was still nothing compared to this scarecrow!
What he was afraid of was not the scarecrow’s strength.
It was his advancement speed!
Even an A rank could not stop him…
After a period of time, he really did not dare to imagine how far this scarecrow could go!!

His children and grandchildren create the pantheon.However, none is more feared that his Grandson Aleksandor, the God of Madness. Who's task given to him upon reaching adulthood was to punish the sinners in hopes they may repent and one day be reborn so they may try again for a better life. All his divine life, Aleksandor has known the bitter cold of hate and fear. No mortal prays to him, the evil God. They all, no matter the person, completely shun him. Until Alyson is born. Her life has not been an easy one. Not many know that her birthday coincides on that of the ""Evil"" Gods. Not may know that he has blessed her with a gift. Her parents have done everything they can to make her forsake this God, but nothing has worked. As her marriage day draws near, and the insanity that is her family gets worse, she turns to the one God she knows can hear her prayers, and will answer. But her wish comes with a price. Will it be able to save not only her, but the ""Evil"" God as well, or will they all down spiral into madness?
8 171For Grass and Glory
Being old is difficult. But losing the love of your life to natural selection and being left in the dirt is even harder. Join Walton in his final journey as he figures out if his principals are just as important when there is nothing left to lose. Combating hypocrisy, youth, bad diet practises and a general lack of respect towards humanity, Walton's struggles are the true adventure of the everyday man. A story about unlikely friendship, being old, unexpected beauty, and the obsession of kicking a round leather ball in the best way possible. A story about a new world, and its possibilities. A story about the grass, and let us hope, a small bit of glory? Author note: This is a project of mine I started in 2016 and recently been writing for again. Writing for me is something I love to do, but can't always find the time for. This is also the reason I have not finished (or come close to) Ethereal Space yet. I get distracted. I started this novel intending to create something else, to break a bit with the current go to's story wise in the litRPG or virtual reality communities. So, this is my attempt at "Something different" I would love feedback or just your general opinion. But most of all, I hope it entertains. Enjoy!
8 165Binary of Life and Death
Monsters, gold, chaos, glory, adventure, what more could attract two of the greatest players of all time to Sugarea, the most popular MMORPG of its time. But everyone makes errors, and unfortunate for these two brilliant players, they have made the grave mistake of not actually sleeping like normal humans and missed out on the very moment the new Dark Legion update would take effect. Or did they? They wake in what seems familiar yet not, but they soon realize their predicament. They are inside their game avatar's bodies! A half-Demon and a Dragonoid are now struggling with more than just power, these two men have to find their new purpose and calling in a completely different world. Will they concur it like ordinary land or will they enlighten the planet into equality? Do figures pull strings in the dark or is everything open to the public eye? Nothing is certain except the unknown, and nothing is ever as it seems... This is an Isekai story, as such, some parts may sound either cliché or similar to others, but I assure you, I tried to prevent that. To make it known, I took quite a lot of inspiration from the light novel/anime Overlord, but that doesn't mean it's a direct rip-off of it. You'll find there to be quite the amount of differences. Just a little heads up as well, you should expect irregular uploads, as it takes me a long time to write each chapter. I am currently trying for once every other week on Sundays around 10:00 A.M. Chapters are usually 7k words and up, with the longest (chapter 3) being 10.3k words. So, if you like to sit down and read a long chapter every two weeks at 10:00 A.M. EST on Sundays, then you can waste your time here! Small disclaimer: Profanity is far and few between, and mostly used by side characters, rarely the main character. When something with gore happens, I describe to the best of my ability, which will only get better the longer I write this... :) Small cuts between perspectives happen, and can hide what some characters do, which will be revealed in future chapters, I'm not that lazy... all the time... There are some parts that are long blocks of text, most, if not all, of them, are characters talking, but I try not to info dump. I know one of the tags says "Psychological", and for the most part, it is, but it's not as prominent as other stories, instead, it's more hidden and scattered, but I did try to make the pieces I did reveal all fit together. Cover art is bound to be changed when I have a good picture to use, so the Yin-Yang is a placeholder for now unless yall wanna gimme something to use *wink wink nudge nudge*. So yeah, please give it a try, as I have nothing better to do with my life, and I am banking solely off of a career in literature and am hoping that I can create a story that can actually be called something more than a child's imagination running wild. The eventual and inevitable end to the story won't be for a long while, at least till chapter 40 or so. I have thought long and hard about the message and themes at play, so I hope you, the reader (who has some amazing hair btw), can enjoy and partake on this adventure with me into my dark empty pit of an imagination.
