Murim Recurve Chapter 145
Advertisement
Re'Kha continued to drive as she felt the struggles from her character increase. At first, it was tolerable. But now, it continued to increase to the extent the moment Re'Kha took a relaxing breath, her character would take control and would reverse the car.
And, this feeling was increasing constantly until it became unbearable. Still, Re'Kha was a trained veteran that was even able to control herself from shouting when she sustained a heavy injury. So, the time for which she was able to persist with the struggle was beyond what her character could do.
So, an hour later, the resistance from her character subsided. But, Re'Kha didn't let her guard down, for she knew her character was storing up strength to result in a powerful resistance that would throw her control over the body away.
In all her previous explorations, Re'Kha was busy trying to gather as many Prana Stones as possible during the allotted time. Moreover, it took considerable time to finish a quest. The case was the same for every other Harmoniser that they simply couldn't afford to research about Earth further.
But now, because of a difference in her case, Re'Kha had the opportunity to research about Earth further.
Her master's actions caused her to obtain the element of Wood and Wind. So, only when she had comprehended them both to 12 units would she be able to think about increasing the Elemental Qi in her. And, that would further have to wait until she comprehended all three elements to at least 14 or 15 units worth.
Only after then would entering Earth prove useful to her. So, until then, she had no use for Prana Stones. And that was a duration spanning seven years. It was a long time.
And at present, the goal of her visit to Earth was an experiment to determine if this would destroy her connection to the Blinded Ghost. The Prana Stones were just added bonus. She was just obliged to give one Prana Stone to the Vi Clan. Rest was hers to use.

And, this was only brought about because she had coincidently made use of her character's advantages to deal with Quests that were related to them. That way, she was able to quickly finish them.
She had appeared at 9:20 AM and had obtained 6 Prana Stones by 3:30 PM, in just 6 hours. It was insanely fast as compared to others, including her previous explorations. Re'Kha attributed it to both luck and her choice of action with respect to her character that resulted in this.
Now that she had enough time, she decided to visit the city where she had finished her first four explorations. Along the way, she stopped at a shop and bought enough food and water to last her a day.
She also bought a portable charger to keep her phone running. Re'Kha hummed a tune that played on the radio as she inserted her left hand into a bag of chips, took out one chip, and ate it. When she was halfway to her destination, she stopped at a petrol bunk and refilled her car.
She then continued to drive, trying her best to understand the difference between Earth and her world.
Soon, Re'Kha realised a startling fact, "There are no beasts in the wilds here. Even the animals are few and far between. And, they aren't even a threat to the humans here. The animals here pose a faint resemblance to the ones back home, but that's it."
She frowned as she gazed up, noticing a bright orange ball of fire amid some clouds, "And, the clouds are so thin here. The sunlight is clear and the sun is clearly visible."
This was odd to her because even during the Peak Fire Month, the sun wasn't visible in her world. The only difference was the increase in the temperature and the brightening of the place. But no matter what, a thick layer of clouds permanently existed above them.

Using the standards of Earth to measure, the layer of clouds was like a sea that existed two kilometres from the ground. And no matter which season, they never disappeared.
But on Earth, the clouds were both thick and thin. Moreover, most of them were individual clouds that were constantly on the move due to the wind and the changes in high-pressure and low-pressure weather on the land.
As she continued to drive the car, the sun slowly set. Re'Kha stopped the car along the side of the road as she gawked in shock at such a clear celestial phenomenon. She was used to the concept of daylight dimming until it was night. But, this was the first time she witnessed the massive ball of fire in the sky disappear behind the mountains.
Moreover, Re'Kha looked at the other side in the sky, noticing a whiteish-grey object present, emitting a gentle light that was getting brighter as the sun set. The moment she looked at it, a term automatically appeared in her mind, "The moon."
Her world didn't have a moon. Or, even if it existed, she hadn't ever heard about it. After all, their nights were pitch black without a radiance of light present. The only source of light was from the lanterns hung on the side of their streets.
Re'Kha leaned on her car as she glanced at the speeding vehicles on the road and the tremendous noise they produced. She was driving on a highway, so the frequency of the cars travelling on it was very less. There were at most one or two vehicles plying about every ten seconds.
"They are…fast." Re'Kha sighed in admiration from the bottom of her heart at the objects of convenience that allowed such high-speed travel, the concrete roads that allowed one to travel at high speeds with zero risks or discomfort, and finally, the modes of transportation that were relaxing to travel within and that transported a lot of people.
She saw a bus carrying more than forty people and still move at a tremendous speed. As Re'Kha sighed, it had become twilight as she noticed tiny glimmers in the sky. She was shocked, wondering if the sky was about to collapse on her when the logic stemming forth from her character calmed her.

Ebony Chitin - Adventures of The Hive
Ebony Chitin - Adventures of The Hive is a story centered around a Hive mind bug elf, and her favorite human-dwarf mutt Richard. The story will shift perspectives between the two, as well as other members of the Hive. Follow along on their adventures for; the friends they make, the enemies they slay, and the questions they seek to answer. Thank you for reading, as always. ^.^ Afterword: Hello there everyone, and welcome back those that have already read the first story. If you are new, don't worry too much about the first step of the series. Truly, this second part aims to cover most of what was done there. Those that have read it will know a few secrets and plot points before we see them. Though it shouldn't detract from your reading of this one. Honestly, the first one was a bit rough, but do as you will. I will warn that this will tackle some serious topics and might end up getting rather explicit in terms of what is done or seen by the characters. There is a bit to cover, so I'll explain what I can between chapters without overloading anyone, hopefully. -Cover Art drawn by Cozie [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

What kind of changes can these people bring to the world where magical and supernatural forces exist? What will be the future of each of them in this mysterious story? Come with me to travel and discover all this in... Magic x Magic... - - / - Hey, guys! I want to tell everyone that I managed to recreate a text structure that satisfied me. Finding this new structural formula, I proceeded to rewrite all the released chapters (0000~0048). Rewriting the chapters, I would like to make it clear that; 1 The basis of the story will not change. Only a few small details will be changed, so that those readers who do not want to re-read the chapters will not be harmed in following the story. 2 Those interested in starting over will be rewarded with the introduction of new POVs of some already established plots from the already released chapters. And as I said before, the entire story already developed will not change. Treat this as a way of enriching some plots and backstories for some characters. 3 I decided to bring some plots that would only appear after finishing the first arc. These storylines don't have a development in this arc, but they are storylines that are happening at the same time as the events of the first arc. So there are some more mysteries to reward those who will re-read the novel. Rewrite Update:New Reading Aid Rule: Incomplete.Prologue to Book 01 (Arc 01): Incomplete.Rewritten Chapters: 0000. I want to warn you that for now the chapters are being released gradually, don't give up on me... For more details visit my Patreon page, you can find details about me and the novel 'Magic x Magic' in public posts. A big hug to everyone!Cover art by me, ScanLi.
