Chapter 87: Orchid hallTranslated and Edited by: La0o9
“In the past, when the Saint was still young, after her sect was destroyed, the Saint was chased by her enemies. At the time, only Xiuxiu knew where the Saint was”
“Why does Xiuxiu knows?” Gu Qing Shan asked, noticing this matter to be very serious.
“Because Xiuxiu was the sect master’s daughter, the one that personally helped the Saint escaped” white goose answered.
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
“Even after she was caught, she never said a single thing about where the Saint was”
“Even after she got all 5 senses stolen from her, imprisoned inside a Spirit Beast Bag, spending every second struggling to breath, she still didn’t say anything” the white goose had a look of sorrow as he explained.
Gu Qing Shan praised her: “She’s really a good child”
The white goose continued: “When the Saint had finally killed her enemy and saved her from the Spirit Beast Bag, it has already been 5 years”
Gu Qing Shan was shocked: “She withstood such torture for 5 whole years?”
A normal person wouldn’t be able to stand even 10 minutes of such pain, yet an 8 years old child had to silently take it for years on end.
Gu Qing Shan unconsciously held a feeling of respect for her.
“That’s right, at the time both her soul and body were already on the verge of collapse” the white goose lowered his head as he spoke: “The Saint had to spent so much effort, healing her bit by bit to finally get her back”
“As the timeflow inside the Spirit Beast Bag was frozen, when she was saved she was still only 7 years old”
“No one have had to suffer such torture in the entire cultivation world before, so the only choice was to let her keep being 7 years old until both her body and soul are fully healed”
Gu Qing Shan was speechless, then said: “Rest assured, since she’s my junior sister, I will do my best to take care of her”
When the goose looked at Gu Qing Shan, he nodded with determination.

“Then that’s good, we here don’t have many other rules, just that we all take care of each other and cultivate ourselves, that’s already fulfilling Shifu’s biggest wish” the white goose said
If any other sects were to hear that Bai Hua Fairy’s sect was founded with such a pure wish, not many would believe.
But Gu Qing Shan, having been through today with them, could honestly believe it.
He felt a sense of warmth in his heart.
“Bai Hua Fairy’s cultivation is higher than any other, but she really doesn’t mind managing her sect as much” Gu Qing Shan silently thought, “this isn’t like a cultivation sect at all, more like she’s building a home…”
“Come! Let’s go see your home from now on!” the white goose flapped his wings and flew.
“Yes!”
Since Gu Qing Shan still can’t fly yet, he can only glide after the white goose.
They went deep into Bai Hua Palace, passing many buildings and finally arrived at a large building.
On its name plate were two large words:
“Orchid Hall”
As Gu Qing Shan saw those two words, he couldn’t help but turned and asked the white goose: “This is where I’ll live?”
“That’s right” The white goose nodded.
Gu Qing Shan lightly frowned.
Isn’t that name a bit too girly for where I’ll live?
“Can I change the name?” he asked.
“You can’t, the Saint herself wrote that name so why would you need to change it” the white goose sounds a bit annoyed.
Gu Qing Shan could only give up.
Then he remembered and asked: “What’s second brother’s place called?”
The white goose answered: “Cherry Blossom Palace”
Gu Qing Shan felt there really was fairness in the world.
A person and a goose walked into the Hall.
As Gu Qing Shan extends his sight forward ———he really was “extending his sight”, as the interior of the hall was quite large, about as big as two football fields.
“This is really my place?” Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but ask again.
This place is big enough to hold a concert.
The white goose answered: “That’s right, your place”

“Just for me?” Gu Qing Shan again.
“Just for you” the white goose answered.
“For you”
“-or you“
“you”
“ou”
“uuu…”
The sound echoed across the entire hall.
Gu Qing Shan: “…”
White goose: “…”
“Ehem” the white goose was a bit embarrassed and explained: “Before, when it was built, the Saint thought that the bigger she built everything, the easier it would be to make others feel a sense of respect”
“…Truly it will make others feel a sense of respect” Gu Qing Shan reluctantly said.
“Rest up, at night we’ll all have dinner together, to congratulate you joining our sect”
As he said that, the white goose turned around and flew away.
Gu Qing Shan just stood there for a while at the door before entering Orchid Hall.
He walked around the entire hall once.
After only circling it once, he already feel his body warmed up and a bit of sweat on his back.
It’s like he had just done some exercise.
Orchid Hall…
Ok, at least it’s big enough, Gu Qing Shan convinced himself.
In a corner of the hall, lots of cultivation resources are neatly left there.
Gu Qing Shan picked up one of the pill bottles, opened and smelled it.
The excess spirit energy went into his nose, making the entire 30.000 pores on his body felt alive.
Such excellent pills!
Gu Qing Shan silently praised it, then went around to check the rest.
After all is said and done, the treatment in Bai Hua Palace really is without equal, everything he gets is first-rate, and whatever he wants to get are all top-notch.
You could see that Bai Hua Fairy treats her disciple very dearly.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then took out a spirit thread cushion, randomly placed it on the air in the hall and sat on it.
Then he closed his eyes and started meditating.
Night falls.
Cherry Blossom Palace.
Two male, one female and a goose was sitting together.
The table was full of fantastic dishes and drinks, still warm to the touch.
Qin Xiao Lou pridefully said: “Help yourself, all of these are my best signature dishes, be careful with your tongue”
As he saw the goose glared at him, he reluctantly: “Fine, then let our first brother speak first”
The white goose cleared his throat, speaking seriously: “Today we welcome Qing Shan and Xiuxiu into our sect. From now on, I hope we can become like true brothers and sisters while living together”
Xiuxiu softly asked: “Shifu isn’t coming?”
The white goose said: “Shifu is a Saint, she’s always busy with something, so we can just do this kind of celebration on our own and not disturb her”
But you’re already here.
Gu Qing Shan rolled his eyes.
Xiuxiu was a bit disappointed.
Qin Xiao Lou glanced at her and said: “Junior sister Xiuxiu, from tomorrow onwards, Shifu will be teaching you cultivation every day, so tonight will be the only night happy night that you get to escape her evil grasp you know”
Then he used chopsticks to grab and put a drumstick in Xiuxiu’s bowl, saying: “Here, I marinated this chicken drumstick for very long, guaranteed you’ll like it”
Xiuxiu smelled it, then happily said: “Then I won’t hesitate”
The white goose jumped up, stood on Qin Xiao Lou’s shoulder and used his wings to hit him while angrily saying: “Evil grasp! What do you mean evil grasp! Come on, say it! How dare you talk about Shifu like that”
“First brother please spare me; I’ve prepared for you a lot of wine you know!” Qin Xiao Lou begged to be forgiven.
“Hmph, then why haven’t you brought them out yet?” As the white goose hear that, it flew back to its seat.
Qin Xiao Lou fixed his hair in annoyance, then tapped his Inventory Bag and took out more than a dozen different bottles.
“Qing Shan, come, taste these drinks that I brewed myself” he called out, ignoring the white goose.
“Yes” as Gu Qing Shan saw so many kinds of wine, he also couldn’t help himself.
Xiuxiu only looked up, then continued chewing on her chicken.
The white goose scoffed, then took a bottle for his own.
“This shot is for first brother” Gu Qing Shan held up his cup and said.
The white goose also brought up his own cup, pleased: “Hm, that’s right, then bottoms up”
“Yes” Gu Qing Shan said.

Not your average Bird
Rago didn't have what you would call a good life... Or lives, in his case. For you see, Rago is one of an infinitesimally small number of people that remembers his previous lives. In his first life, he was a young spartan warrior that was killed for being too weak. In his second life, he was a young squire in the courts of Camelot that was tragically killed when his master lost control of his horse, and it kicked him in the head. In his third life, he was a child soldier in Africa that managed to escort a group of children to safety before he was shot in the head by their now ex-captors. And in his fourth life, he spent his entire life in a hospital bed being treated for a currently incurable auto-immune disease. ... But, that's when things changed. He was suddenly brought before an all-powerful being and given yet another go at life... Let's hope things are different this time.

The Atropos Schema
Book 1 is now complete! NOTE: I'm adding the "Traumatising Content" tag because important characters are mind-controlled in this story. If you dislike reading about mind control, then this story is not for you. Summary: Tutorials. Monster invasions. Fantasy towns in a post-apocalyptic world. Follow Jarek Novak as he fights for survival with the “help” of his personal A.I. “To recap,” I said, trying to ignore my growing headache. “I have a mind-controlling parasite in my brain. The Atropos Schema is facilitating the destruction of my world as I know it, and if it discovers this parasite, then I’m as good as dead. Currently, my world is being overrun by monsters and soon other sapient species will fight for control over my world—unless they already control my world from the shadows.” Samantha said.

The Beta Test
Our nameless narrator participates in a beta test for an early VRMMO game Meridian 60. That's not the real name but it captures the spirit of the adventure given the chronological and contextual era of the game. His character is unique and special but purely for mundane reasons and not because of any inherent or social significance. The first chapter which is mandatory to submit a story on RR serves as a bit of a prologue with some exposition, although I limited that to a reasonble level. I plan to begin releasing additional chapters starting Thursday, to align with the 48 hour submission approval process and also because I have something to do Wednesday. I haven't written anything but the summary and first chapter, nor have I plotted anything out. This is because my plan is to release roughly 34000 words a day, 10 chapters of ~12.5 pages each, for 3 days at which point the story will be complete. I'd have liked to plan for more but handling the interface tables and so forth needed for a data heavy litrpg slows down the writing process. 100k words is a bit short, a standard pre epic fantasy 300 page spec fic novel, but this is mostly a writing exercise and I am considering a longer project if I can maintain the pace. Probably do a different concept, maybe a dungeon core, over 5 days, since a 500 page novel is more common these days. Slight subversion of VRMMO stories Stat heavy/crunchy No paying your bills by gaming No out of game conspiracies No angst, interpersonal drama, or damsels/dudes in distress Schedule is 30000 words a day excepting the first chapter, a limitation of RRs fiction submission system Fantasy, high magic, male lead, no party, guild, or harem No gore, some profanity, no sexual content, and no current plans for anything traumatic

Corpse Crawler
Ludwig Lock wakes up in a hospital bed to find a weeping woman at his side. After some crying, more weaping and confusion, Ludwig discovers that that lady was his ten year old sister, and that he's been in a coma for fifteen years. He also learns that the world he had grown to know was no more since heroes, villains, and super powers inhabit the streets, being regarded as a lot of things withing an endless spectrum. Just when he was about to finally get started with his new life, Ludwig faced a streak of bad luck, the last event of this chain setting him up to die so a vigilante can save himself. After suffering the worst beating of his life and experimenting the incompetence of the law, Ludwig decides to use his own hands to achieve justice. He will face difficult challenges, traumatic situations, and probably horrible stuff to get his life rolling. But at least he's got a friend to help him. Not a normal one though. ---- IMPORTANT: I personally identify powers as a fantastical element, which is why I don't find weird the addition of other elements of the same vein if it stays within the logic of the world. New and old chapters get updated with relative frequency, (new chapter every week, though it may be delayed a day or more to problems or some other reason) and the story is in a draft-like state, meaning it will probably stay the same but there will be changes on the prose or writing. Also, I would apreciate if it is known to me (Respectfully) which points should I improve on.
