Chapter 228
“Sui Xiong” opened his eyes . He felt that he had a headache, like he was being bombed in waves with a thousand mushrooms by Team Lead Timo .
Many messy things were spinning around in his mind . There were tidbits of his life on Earth; there were also many inexplicable things that were not related to him .
Nobles, territory, Gods, magic…
What the hell is this!
He wanted to sit up straight, but he felt worn out all over . He raised his head up but fell back onto the pillow which made his headache worse .
He startled the maidservant who was watching over him . The maidservant named Esther was good looking . She watched him in surprise . She then dashed out and shouted, “The baron is awake! The baron is awake!”
A hubbub of noises was heard and many people rushed over . Among them, many were as surprised as the maidservant . More than one of them who he was awake knelt down with tears over their faces as they prayed to some God .
But… he also noticed that although some people were smiling, their eyes had a faint hint of surprise and gloominess .
The hell! Am I traversing? The situation seems to be quite terrible!
As a youngster that always read online novels, he quickly understood his situation .
Hence, he used his feeble voice to speak so everyone could get quieter and stop the noise, to tell them that he needed to rest .
The people who should have been his subordinates immediately followed his orders and returned in silence . Only the maidservant stayed to take care of him .
Sui Xiong closed his eyes and started organizing his thoughts slowly .
A few days later, Baron Keane, who had been sick for almost two months and whom a pastor said would be dead, magically recovered .
A pastor who diagnosed him before checked thoroughly and expressed in surprise that although Little Crick was still weak, he was alright and that he would only need to rest for a month or two until he was fully recovered .

“It must be bestowed upon by the song of remote past!” the pastor said with confidence . “Little Crick’s situation is definitely impossible for a commoner . Only a gift from a great majesty could heal him . ”
It quickly became a topic of conversation among the upper class . Many nobles were shocked and interested .
The God of Art and Culture has such talent? Many were suspicious .
One must know that the God of Art and Culture was excluded by the church of the God of Nobles to the point that He had no place to set foot . Hence, He moved to the Void Mask Theme Park . If it weren’t for the great jellyfish God Majesty, the follower of the Master of Mystery couldn’t have maintained a large-scale temple!
If the God of Art and Culture really had such capabilities, why didn’t He show it when the church of the God of Nobles excluded His church?
Sometime before, the nobles that believed in the God of Art and Culture died one after another…
Or maybe… That was what the Master of Mystery meant? The Majesty that was exceptionally great, even among various Gods, finally decided to lend a helping hand to His useless follower? Or maybe He intended to counterattack the overbearing yet beautiful and elegant traditional Chinese woman (the God of Nobles)?
Various speculations were spread . There was a rapid subterranean flow on the upper of Duchy of Thunder all of a sudden . Faintly, there was also a strong storm in the making .
But all of this had nothing to do with “Crick Keane,” temporarily .
Sui Xiong who had become “Crick Keane” was slowly understanding and mastering the memory that was left in the body from the previous owner .
Firstly, he had to thank the original owner of the body, Crick Keane .
Compared to those that merely had a body, or those whose souls traversed but had no information for reference, his starting point was way better . Crick Keane basically kept all his memory, from as little as a piece of paper, to a book, to the culture in the world; regardless of big or small matters, they were left to him like a huge encyclopedia .

It was a precious inheritance that was indescribable . By fully taking in and utilizing the inheritance, he could smoothly take over the identity of Crick Keane without being spotted by anyone .
Secondly, he was a little vexed, because he realized that his situation was not too good . Baron Keane was one of the very few believers in the God of Art and Culture in Duchy of Thunder . He was also one of the main sponsors of the church of the God of Art and Culture . In his territory, there was even a small-scale temple for the God of Art and Culture .
For Duchy of Thunder, even to the world, the church of the God of Nobles was squeezing out the church of the God of Art and Culture . As for the nobles that believed in the God of Art and Culture, many of them died an unknown death . Crick who was “dying of an illness” was already considered normal; there were even those that died by choking on water or having a stroke in a brothel…
The God of Nobles was too straightforward and too shameless!
In the end, he had to thank the person that let him traverse because he had a great golden finger, something similar to the game system . Not only could he appraise various items quickly; most importantly, he could see the attributes of the people around him .
For instance, himself, Crick Keane: strength eight, constitution nine, action ten, sensitivity 12, intelligence 14, charm 12, reputation 400, working as a level two feudal lord, level four scholar . Current status: “noxious residue . ”
Mm, noxious residue .
The poor Crick Keane didn’t die of sickness, but poison!
He had to thank the person that allowed him to traverse, as he helped him with the poison . Otherwise, he might have died of the poison right after traversing .
Another example: his servant, Amyveile, strength eight, constitution 12, action 12, sensitivity ten, intelligence ten, charm 12, reputation 50, working as a level six servant, loyalty 100 .
Er, the most important attribute of all would be loyalty!
His golden finger system wasn’t like those in the novels that could send him missions and increase his experiences, but it could display his underlings’ loyalties . He had to sing the praises of the person that allowed him to traverse again .
To his current self, “loyalty” was too important!
Relying on the assistance of the system, he could quickly run through his underlings . Among most of them, loyalties were on the high end, averagely above, and rightly so . It could be seen that Crick Keane was quite a good feudal lord . He was especially at ease about Baron Keane’s butler, Layton, and his captain of guards and chief of knights, James . Their loyalties were also 100!
His personal servant, butler, and captain of guards were loyal, top notch! He got the likes of them 32 times!
In his troops, the lowest loyalty would be the chef .
Zero .
Hey! Loyalty zero… This is quite bad! Could it be you that poisoned Crick Keane to death? It must be you!
There were a few workers that had very terrible loyalty: two, three, five… Besides Amyveile, the rest of the workers’ loyalties were quite bad, no one was up to ten .
When “Crick” saw these peoples’ loyalties, he nearly scolded .
D*mn! The house is heavily infiltrated! This is exactly like the video that was spread across the Internet, “Bureau of Investigation and Statistics Secret Meeting: There’s a Kuomintang Among Us!”
As for the other underlings, the situation wasn’t much better .
After going through all the underlings carefully, “Crick” made a decision .
This territory needs a spring cleaning!

The world is wild, untamed. Humanity thrives, but only in isolated, well defended cities, ever shrinking as the wilds slowly reclaim all that was taken. The most capable magic users are raised up as Mages to serve mankind, further their cause, and defend them over the course of millennia. Tala is freshly graduated from the magic academy and determined to make her own way in the world. She hopes to pay off her massive debts, quickly, but still plans on living each and every day to the fullest. Too bad the Academy left some glaring holes in her practical education. Loath to let that slow her down, and with no patience for a standard, low-paid apprenticeship (intended to fill many of those knowledge gaps), Tala strives to learn and improve as rapidly as she can on her own.

RELINQUISH
Sometimes I wonder why the world isn't decorated with something as cool as magic... Why can't we manipulate the laws of the world? Why does the story about God sound too fake to be believed? Why the hope for this world to be saved from the bottom of everyone's heart can never be fulfilled... Then I landed on each conclusion from each of those questions... That humans are the most cunning, meanest and stupidest creatures who are most desperately expected to not have any power including magic itself. That it is not God that we should believe in, because they themselves do not believe in how disgusting human nature really is. That everyone's hope is not for the world to be saved, but for the world to be destroyed in order to save their own selves. That the world from the beginning, was not meant to be saved... (I frequently revise and update the use of sentences in the previous chapters without disturbing the original storyline. so sometimes it takes me a little longer to publish a new chapter.) I have the same novel posted on another website (Webnovel.com , creativenovels.com) with the same name (RELINQUISH)

The Traveling Dungeon
Dale had finally started to get a hold of his existence as a dungeon core. His dungeon was working, the challenges were popular, he had a large swath of texts on magic to work through, and his core was as protected as he could reasonably make it. Everything should have been perfect. Then he reached a tad too far, grabbed ahold of a new skill for the manipulation of Essence and so began his ascension to godhood! Which was a nice way of saying his soul was sucked through space, torn and shredded, and shoved into a conceptual body.ie, he appeared in the Hall of the Gods suddenly. Without clothing.This would have been simply an amusing anecdote if he wasn't then instantly yanked out of the Hall of the Gods by a person who appeared to be cos-playing a cross between a plumber and accountant. Oh, and he had a grip like iron and could freeze the other gods at will. A small detail, but a concerning one.Now Dale is forced to deal with being a God, a Dungeon Core, and act as the lynchpin in a divine universe jailbreak attempt.Oh, and of course, the Gods still have all the drama that you would expect. Naturally.

Bedrock 巖盤 Ganban
Not everyone is born equal. In a world where everyone is born with an ability, some people get the short end of the stick. Kazuki is one of these people. He is one of the few people born with an F class ability, an ability so weak he is powerless against any foe. So weak that he holds the title of bedrock, a title that literally means “at the bottom.” But sometime very soon he will discover his true abilities and become the strongest adventurer in the land. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New version at https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/27723/bedrock-ganban This is the official version again. We decided to edit the chapters and change them instead of making an entirely new account. ~November 30: All of the chapters have been updated and improved. It took a few months, but the story is better than ever! As of today, new chapters with be posted every weekend.~ ~January 20: First off, Happy New Years! I hope you all can make use of this year even more than that last. I know we will....

We'll pick up pace after this week!~ ~April 20: Happy 4/20/2020, since we're starting to write longer chapters, it'll probably take longer for us to post some chapters. The output for chapters should be amped up after AP exams are over. ~October 20: Edited previous chapters some and re-wrote chapter 17 as it was terrible and didn't deserved to be released. Almost done with 18. -Posted 18
