HSSB552: The Brilliant Thunder Sect that got hit out of nowhere
In the battle outside the Star Shifting Sea, other than the Blood Dragon Sect’s Nian Chen, those who had helped in encircling and attacking Yan Zhaoge had also included the Chief of the Evil Shifting Sect ‘Heavenly Evil’ Feng Jingsheng and the new number one expert of Spirit Rhino Island after Fang Kan’s death, the Transcending Mortality Martial Grandmaster Guan Li .
Finally had been the Chief of the Brilliant Thunder Sect, the ‘Crimson Thunder King’ Geng Hui who was acclaimed as the number one expert of the Vast Ocean World beneath the Martial Saint realm, reigning at the top of all the Transcending Mortality Martial Grandmasters .
The Blood Dragon Sect’s Nian Chen, Myriad Sword Pool’s Yan Gang as well as Soul Shocking Island’s Liu Shuo might still be able to suppress Geng Hui with their Sacred Artifacts . However, if they were without their Nine Dragon Fingers, Floating Sinking Sword or Soul Shocking Box, they would only be able to slink away when seeing Geng Hui .
This Chief of the Brilliant Thunder Sect was indisputably the person of the Vast Ocean World who was currently closest to Transcending Mortality and entering Sainthood .
That the Evil Shifting Sect’s Feng Jingsheng and Spirit Rhino Island’s Guan Li would get involved had been within Yan Zhaoge’s predictions .
After all, his enmity with the Evil Shifting Sect and Spirit Rhino Island was not small . If they had the chance to, it was only natural for them to want to take revenge .
While Good and Evil were diametrically opposed, for dealing with Yan Zhaoge, at the very least, the Blood Dragon Sect, Spirit Rhino Island and the Evil Shifting Sect had temporarily overlooked their individual camps by tacit agreement, cooperating for the time being .
However, while Yan Zhaoge had not come into conflict with the Brilliant Thunder Sect before, Geng Hui had actually appeared and tried to kill him with all of them . This really begged one’s attention .
It was not likely that he had come to assist at someone’s behest .
Yan Zhaoge’s battle achievements of having slain Fang Kan and repelled Lin Qiancheng over the Bewildering Maze Sea was something that all of the Vast Ocean World knew . Those beneath the Martial Saint realm who challenged Yan Zhaoge on their lonesome were virtually courting death .
How close a relationship or how huge a price could spur someone to take on a risk as great as that?

If it was unrelated to others, having been the intentions of Geng Hui and the Brilliant Thunder Sect themselves, what reason then might lie therein?
A thought immediately flashed through Yan Zhaoge’s mind .
The Eye of the Thunder Emperor fragment concealed within Yan Zhaoge’s right eye flickered faintly with the light of thunder, causing a slight piercing pain within .
In having slain Fang Kan over the Bewildering Maze Sea, Yan Zhaoge had unleashed the power of the Eye of the Thunder Emperor fragment .
There had been many eyewitnesses back then, but most of their attention had been placed on his Northern Ocean Clone that was in the Martial Saint realm .
However, having properly heard about all this in detail, perhaps the Brilliant Thunder Sect might have noticed An Instant’s Thunder?
Was it that they aspired to such power purely because of the specialities of their sect or was it that they knew about where An Instant’s Thunder stemmed from, therefore sneakily setting their eyes on it?
If they knew where An Instant’s Thunder stemmed from, was it merely limited to understanding, or was it…
Did Geng Hui and the Brilliant Thunder Sect possess an Eye of the Thunder Emperor fragment too?
Yan Zhaoge narrowed his eyes, flying with the Northern Ocean Clone across the great ocean and over onto the mainland towards the region where the Brilliant Thunder Sect had once stood .
At the Star Shifting Sea, Geng Hui had run the fastest . Wanting to take care of Nian Chen and the Nine Dragon Fingers, Yan Zhaoge had ignored him .
However, back then, Yan Zhaoge had mentally noted down Geng Hui’s baffling presence there .
In order to prevent Lin Qiancheng from pulling the wool over everyone’s eyes and fishing in turbid waters whilst also making sure that his judgement went rightly, the three heavyweights of the forces of Evil having swept across the territory of the forces of Good and caused great damage, Yan Zhaoge had decided to first go to the Bewildering Maze Sea to look for Lin Qiancheng .
However, a petty person such as him could never have forgotten about the matter of the Brilliant Thunder Sect .
However, never would he have thought that Lin Qiancheng’s opening of the dragon gate might actually cause a situation such as this where the Brilliant Thunder Sect had gotten hit out of nowhere and suffered a tragedy .
When Yan Zhaoge saw the shattered pieces of the great earth and the decimation of the former mountain range with lofty peak having been reduced to mere basin, he shook his head non-stop as well, “This is really a level of bad luck in itself . ”

That terrifying collision by the light dragon earlier was such that even a Martial Saint would have been instakilled in having met it head on .
While the Brilliant Thunder Sect’s Thunder Fire Peak had been bolstered by them for many years, the Brilliant Thunder Sect martial practitioners had likely not dared to circulate their guardian grand formation for even the least bit of resistance .
They had only been able to flee with all their might, every survivor already being hard found .
If they had hesitated and attempted to put up some form of resistance, they would have been blasted into smithereens along with their entire sect .
Yan Zhaoge surveyed the area . It was totally messed up, with no Brilliant Thunder Sect martial practitioners still present in the vicinity .
Yan Zhaoge believed that there should be survivors . However, there were probably only Geng Hui as well as a miniscule number of their peak experts who had been able to survive this tribulation .
Currently not being visible, it should be that they had retreated after examining the dragon gate at the bottom of that basin and discovering that there was temporarily nothing that they could do .
Without the protection of their mountainous headquarters, the sect had virtually been decimated completely . Under such grave circumstances, if any other enemies of theirs like Yan Zhaoge came looking for them or if any of the other Evil Sects came over looking for easy pickings, the Brilliant Thunder Sect would thereon truly be eradicated completely from the Vast Ocean World for good .
However infuriated and despondent they were, Geng Hui and the others could only have found a place to conceal themselves first, recuperating from their injuries and observing the overall situation .
Yan Zhaoge temporarily set aside the matter of the Brilliant Thunder Sect, carefully examining that basin as well as the dragon gate located within its depths .
Within the basin visibly emanated numerous streams of black qi as that dragon gate that had opened within the Bewildering Maze Sea was now closed again .
However, Yan Zhaoge could feel that the current dragon gate was different from before, merely having closed simply .
There seemed to be a shocking change currently brewing within the dragon gate .
As Yan Zhaoge’s thoughts circulated, the Northern Ocean Clone descended, coming before the dragon gate within the basin and grabbing outwards within the air .
Beneath the force exerted by the Northern Ocean Clone, the massive dragon gate slowly swung open with a creaking noise .
Gazing inside, Yan Zhaoge saw dense death qi coiling within like thick black ink .
However, observing carefully, it was evident that the black qi was actually in the midst of gradually dissipating .
The spiritual qi network of the entire Vast Ocean World was currently unceasingly affecting the spiritual qi flow within the dragon gate .
The death qi was being reduced unceasingly, a flourishing life force instead surging within .
At the same time, Yan Zhaoge discovered that within the dragon gate, a vigorous and authoritative, vast and majestic aura that exemplified the dragon race was beginning to gradually manifest .
It was as though the numerous dragons that had died were currently in the midst of reviving .
It was just that while this qi of true dragons was still authoritative and shocking, it was still rather lacking as compared to the true coiling of numerous dragons .
Yan Zhaoge knew that the dragons had not been revived . Instead, it was like the ice dragon corpse that he had obtained at the old residence of the Glacial Dragon Martial Saint, their spirituality not fading after their deaths as their dragon authority was therefore maintained .
However, this roiling dragon qi intermingled with that dense death qi made for an extremely terrifying domain .
The space and time within the dragon gate was independent from that of the Vast Ocean World, seeming as though it was another world .
Currently, with the dragon qi obstructing the way, if one were to try to go in, they would likely end up the same way as the Brilliant Thunder Sect, with even Martial Saints being unlikely to make it in .
“From the looks of it, we will have to wait patiently for some time until this burial ground of numerous dragons has gradually calmed before only then being able to enter,” Yan Zhaoge gradually came to a realisation, “I wonder how long that might be, though?”
As time slowly passed, the experts of the other sects all rushed over upon getting wind of this . Seeing the scene before them, they all exchanged looks, completely lost for words .

Delve
Summary – Level 1: Delve is an isekai litrpg that follows an average guy who just happened to wake up in a forest one day. He wasn’t summoned to defeat the demon lord or to save the world or anything like that, at least as far as he can tell. The only creature there to greet him was a regular old squirrel. Soon enough, he meets other people, only to discover that he can’t speak the language, and that not everybody immediately trusts random pajama-wearing strangers they met in the middle of the wilderness. Things generally go downhill from there, at least until the blue boxes start appearing. Delve is a story about finding your way in a new, strange, and dangerous world. It’s about avoiding death, figuring out what the heck is going on, and trying to make some friends along the way. It’s not about getting home, so much as finding a new one. Did I mention that there will be math? Summary – Level 2: Okay, but what are you in for, really? Well, this story is supposed to be realistic, or at least, as realistic as a fantasy litrpg can be. The main character doesn’t instantly become an all-powerful god and murder-hobo his way across the universe. Delve is, at its heart, a progression fantasy, but that progression is meant to feel earned. The numbers in this story actually mean something. Everything is calculated, and if you find a rounding error, I expect you to tell me about it. That said, if math isn’t your cup of tea, there is plenty more that the story has to offer. Characters are meant to feel real, and progression isn’t only about personal power; it’s also about allies, connections, and above all, knowledge. Figuring out how the system works is a significant theme. ... What, you want more details? Okay, fine, but this is going to get a bit spoiler-y. Are you sure? Yes! Really sure? I mean, this summary is practically half as long as the first chap– Now! Okay, okay! The main character becomes a magic user, but he takes a route that is not very popular in adventurer culture, namely that of a support. There is a full magic system with various spells, skills, and abilities, but our MC decides that aura magic is the way to go, and that the only stat worth investing in is mana regeneration. Most people at the Adventurer’s Guild think that this makes him a bit of a dumbass, but he’s playing the long game. We’ll see how that works out for him, won’t we? Because of his build, the MC levels up fast, at least compared to normal people. There are no cheats, though, and he is limited in other ways. There are some clear and pretty obvious downsides to his build. That’s what makes it fun, no? Morals? Our MC has them. Again, we’ll see how that works out for him. Realism, remember? Would you be okay with killing someone and looting their body? I sure hope not. POV? The focus is on the main character, but there will be occasional varying perspectives from people around him, or involved in the events related to the main plot. It isn’t going to jump all over the place. Tech is standard medieval stasis. No smartphones, but the MC does have a technical background. Computers and their programming might be involved. There might even be a bit of uplifting down the road, who knows? Anyway, it isn’t the focus. He isn’t going to invent the gun in chapter 1 and change the face of warfare. Romance is not a major focus. Friendships are more the name of the game, though there will be some characters in romantic relationships. There is exploration, though not as much of the geographical nature as you might expect. It is more about exploration of the system and the culture. The pace is slow and detailed, sometimes verging on slice-of-life. The action is meant to be realistic and grounded in the numbers, and it is intended to have meaning beyond simply punching things until they stop moving. The general tone of the story is grey, and some parts can get quite dark. People die. Sometimes, people with names, but not anywhere near GoT level. There is plenty of light, too, though, to balance the darkness. The world is dangerous, but overcoming that danger is why we’re all here, isn’t it? Anyway, if you’ve made it this far through the summary, you clearly like words. I hope you enjoy the story! Cover by Miha Brumec Summary Updated: 2020-06-14

Humanity's End
Given a year to prepare by the mysterious ‘system’ for contact with the wider galaxy, humanity must work to ensure the Earth’s defense is ready to meet any challenge. Sadly, most of the world seems dedicated to tearing itself apart as the year-end deadline gets closer. The west is in barely contained Chaos, while the east descends into internal conflict and war. The Pillar Forts, one of the few successful projects of the United Nations headed by the United States, stand ready to defend humanity against any invasion that may come through the strange Connection Pillars that appeared on each continent. Massive steel and stone walls that surround the Connection Pillars. They are filled with deadly men and women trained in all manner of warfare, each trained in the newly acquired System with skills and magical abilities that they put to deadly purpose. Beside these brave warriors, tanks, helicopters, artillery and more stand ready to defend humanity at each of these powerful installations. But, can they overcome the disparity in levels and experience between themselves and the forces that threaten them and the rest of humanity? Main Characters Jessica Brown- A young African American girl. Her 18th birthday in Detroit was the same day the systems message appeared. She discovered she was Level 7, much higher than most of the rest of the world. Why she is blessed, or cursed, with the power she doesn’t know. But what she does know is that she rather likes the feeling that comes with manipulating magic. The week after her birthday, government workers started testing every person in the US in a massive census effort of skills and abilities. Jessica Brown found herself conscripted into the US Magical Corp, a new branch of the US Military, and shipped off to a Pillar Fort. Somewhere hot and muggy in her ancestors’ home of Africa. As she grows stronger, she finds she has some connection to the pillars. While everyone else sees beauty or danger when they look at the pillars, after connection is made all Jessica can see is a Tree. A tree the size of the entire universe. Isaka Smith - is a third generation American and farmer who just wants to be left alone. But she is dragged into the situation by events beyond her control. When people in her small town had to deal with rioters and looters after the system announcement, she rallied them to defend themselves, earning her a trait that the government found extraordinarily useful. After a visit to a local reservation, she finds herself conscripted to lead one of the many small support towns erected around the great pillar forts. Not near her old home, but in far-flung Africa. John McIntire, the “Fighting Bull” -The commander of the African Fort, but because of circumstances beyond his ability to contend with shortly after taking command after being re-activated from retirement, he finds communication with his chain of command increasingly difficult. The US government, hell, even the United Nations, seems to have fallen into complete and utter chaos. The African Union is embroiled in a bitter civil war just outside his door, and supposedly, most of the world governments are in similar situations. Meanwhile, John must do his best to be ready to facilitate diplomacy, or to match the hostile argument of whatever force might come through the pillar of light when the year timer finishes counting down. Can our heros defend Earth from outside threats, while it tares itself apart? Or will they need to rebuild from the ground up? DEDICATION: This story is dedicated to my father who passed away recently. Jim Holloway, you’ll be missed you old silverback gorilla. Love you dad. Always have, always will.
