Samsara Online Chapter 8
Advertisement
After Xie Feng handed over his mission to the village guardian, he went to a secluded spot in the beginner's village.
...
After walking for a few minutes, Xie Feng finally arrived at a place that seemed to be used for NPCs to feed sheep, cows, goats, horses, and all kinds of animals.
Naturally, these animals are those that were not corrupted by the dark mana of the Moon Devil clan.
Xie Feng looked both ways and made sure no one was around, and after making sure he was in the right place, he activated the Ring Switching skill.
Change: For unknown reasons, the Ring of the God of Destruction changes the owner's appearance by force. Note: It can be deactivated twice a day for 30 minutes (2/2).
That's right. The reason Xie Feng wanted to find a slightly secluded place is because he wanted to return to his real appearance.
At Samsara Online, people always look exactly like the real world. Therefore, in every city in the game, including the beginner's village, there are masks to cover the appearance in case someone does not want to reveal himself.
Xie Feng himself had planned to get a mask from the general store; however, after the Ring of the God of Destruction chose him as his master, it was no longer necessary.
Because the ability to switch forced Xie Feng to change his appearance for a completely different one, it didn't make sense for him to buy a mask.
Swoosh!
The ring on his index finger glowed slightly for a moment and then went silent again.
Xie Feng walked over to a small lake and looked at his reflection.
There he saw a young adult with black hair, dark eyes, slightly above average appearance.
Xie Feng nodded with satisfaction that he was back to normal.
After changing his appearance, Xie Feng ran to the potion store.
The beginner's village, at least where Xie Feng is now, was created extremely brilliantly.

Every important and necessary place for the players is connected with several secondary streets or alleys. These side streets or alleys were connected to a single main street, and this main street was connected to essential points.
The central square, potion store, general store, blacksmith store, food store, etc.
Samsara Online was developed in such a realistic way that, apart from an immersion of almost 100% of the senses, it also had included a feeding and hunger system.
When the player's hunger exceeds a certain limit, the player starts to lose his/her HP points slowly until he/she eats something again.
...
Xie Feng soon arrived at the potion store.
He could not help but look out the window he had previously knocked on and saw that it was still broken. Even the glass was scattered on the floor; apparently the NPC didn't bother to fix it.
Xie Feng made sure again that his appearance was different and entered the store with confident steps.
The interior of the potion store looked a little gloomy, dark. It seems that the old man that Xie Feng had seen before liked dark places.
Anyone would normally feel a negative feeling towards these kinds of places due to the sinister atmosphere. However, it was the opposite for Xie Feng.
If someone gave Xie Feng the choice of living his whole life in the sunlight or in the dark, he would certainly choose the second option.
"Honorable sir, how are you? I wonder if you need help with anything lately."
Xie Feng immediately acted like a polite person to the person he was running from just a few minutes ago because he destroyed his property.
The old hunchback raised his head slightly and looked at Xie Feng through his unkempt hair.
Xie Feng immediately tensed at the sight of the old man's eyes. They were extremely cold eyes like a poisonous snake.

Xie Feng himself is very confident, but at this moment, he realized that this hunchbacked and sloppy looking old man was undoubtedly the strongest NPC he had ever seen.
Even stronger than the Village Guardian.
Xie Feng also realized that if this old man really wanted to catch him before, then he would not have been able to escape even if he activated the movement skill attached to the ring.
For a moment, Xie Feng felt a little worried that the old man would discover him.
[Ding...because of your high charm, you get +2 favorable impression from potion seller Xiao Lei]
Upon hearing the announcement of the system, Xie Feng was relieved that the old man did not discover it, but what he felt most was a surprise.
'Only +2 of favorable impression? Clearly I spoke politely, in addition to my high charm; the favorability should increase by at least 5 points'
"Give me 50 wolf fangs, if you can't, then buy or leave."
[Ding!... Xiao Lei wants you to bring him 50 wolf fangs.
Mission grade: common
Mission time limit: 5 hours
Punishment: Favorable impression -2
Reward: Favorable impression +1
Note: If you decline this mission, you will no longer be able to receive missions from Xiao Lei in the future.
Accept?]
Xie Feng could barely contain the urge to spit in the old man's face and curse him a few hundred times when he saw the system announcement.
If he successfully completed the mission, then he would get one point of favorable impression from Xiao Lei, if he failed the mission then he lost 2 points of favorable impression.
More importantly, there are no more rewards!
'What kind of rewards are these?' -Xie Feng thought to himself.
Xie Feng closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After he calmed down, he opened his eyes again and looked at the old man.
Xiao Lei, the NPC from the potion store, had closed his eyes again lazily and no longer cared for him. In fact, it seemed that even if Xie Feng tried to rob his store, this old man would not move.
No matter how Xie Feng thought about it, accepting this mission was more of a loss than a gain. However, he still gritted his teeth and nodded:
"Okay, 50 wolf fangs, right? I'll get them for you."
[Ding.....mission successfully accepted!]
Xiao Lei did not respond, continuing with his eyes closed, apparently unperturbed by the fact that Xie Feng decided to accept his ridiculous mission.
After accepting the mission, Xie Feng turned around and left the potion store quickly.
He had no confidence in resisting the urge to punch the old man in the face, even with his self-control.
Xie Feng did not stop anywhere. He left the village and advanced directly north of the map into the forest.
His goal was naturally the territory of the wolves again.
Xie Feng did not accept this mission because he was stupid, but because he was intelligent.
Any player would probably be enraged to be treated with such indifference by a careless old man and, after that, receive the mission to kill level 5 monsters only to get +1 favorable impression as a reward.
However, Xie Feng is different.
The reason why Xie Feng accepted that mission is because he does not believe that the developers of Samsara are so crazy as to create a NPC that gives useless missions.
Adding to the feeling of pressure that Xiao Lei gave him when he looked into his eyes, Xie Feng is sure that if he completes this mission, he will get something good out of that old man.

Apex Predator
Earth is a fairly small place, but it's all Bath has. It's the only home he's ever known for all of his 500-or-so-million years of life. One day, Bath realized his treasured Earth was being drawn into the next mass extinction ahead of schedule. So, fascinated by the humans and their quick rise to power (after all, setting off a mass extinction is a pretty sizable achievement), what's a nearly all-powerful, somewhat bored, morally ambiguous, savagely violent, shapeshifting alien entity to do other than assume the form of a human and do some front-line investigating? Little did Bath know he would soon stumble upon a mysterious human organization with a gate leading to planets eons away. And that's just the beginning... A story with aliens, intergalactic space travel, mind powers, and an abundance of adventure! Author's note: ON HIATUS! Hello and thank you for reading! Constructive criticism and grammar-policing are both appreciated. Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are complete at 1271 pages! Part 7 is in progress! If you've ever read any other web serials, you might've noticed that authors get better with time (that is, their art or writing improves). Wutosama of Metaworld Chronicles noted that the first 20 chaps are always a mess. This is also the case with Apex Predator. The first two parts (ranging just under 30 chapters, or 161 pages) are absolutely subpar. While I have edited them as of 7-10-18, they require a rewrite, which is currently in the works but not complete. For a sample that gives insight into what the latter ~80% of the story's writing style is like, check out chapter 56. Vote for Apex Predator on Top Web Fiction! The Apex Predator Discord is here. Cover: original work done by me, the author, caerulex.

Fateless: The Silver Lining
It has been ten years of peace for the Union since the end of the great war with the eastern barbarian tribes, yet in the cold north of the Union's land, a new threat is looming. This time, an ambitious Lord is seeking to restore the yore pride of his kin, forcing the weakened Union into yet another unwanted war, as he ramps up the ranks of his army with thieves, murderers and mercenaries.* * *The temperature inside the forge was nearly twice as high as the one outside. A black-haired girl hammered a steel ingot into the shape of a blade. The heat of the steam was draining her stamina away, but her focus remained sharp as her sweat streamed down her face. Hit after hit, for hours, the sound of the hammering steel followed the rhythm of her breathing. Exhausted, she placed the blade into the water and wiped the sweat off her face using a drenched rag. Why are they screaming? Vatra dipped the rag back in the water, twisted it, and approached the window. Her mouth opened as her world shattered again into the living nightmare she had wilfully tried to forget. She bit her lips; it wasn’t a dream. The pulse of her heart rose. A cold sweat prickled her back. A mother was running, and a child was screaming. A torrent of smoke was emerging from the roof of her neighbour. Vatra’s eyes blinked. The mother lay on the ground, a spear through her back. A torch circled in the air and landed on the roof of her workshop. In the distance, a man wearing a banner well known to the world… Fateless is a philosophical medieval dark low fantasy centered on war, militaristic campaigns and geopolitical conflicts between multiple empires. This story follows the fate of Vatra, a former slave from the eastern Nar Empire who was raised in a culture far away from her own, forced into warfare against her will, and the fate of Lanaya, an ambitious half-angel exiled from her home whose existence is seen as heresy. As they wished for peace, both chose a path opposed to one another until their fate crossed. In this story where war dictates the law, love strikes them as a poisoned balm to which they grasp for with all their might, as it is in the darkest of times that the smallest flames may burn the brightest. * * * Tome 1 already completed and available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/Fateless-Silver-Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot/dp/B09LGSH1KK Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot-100547579135891/ I will publish 1 chapter per week (sometimes 2 if the chapters are too short for my liking).

Winter Sovereign
Serra Recquir, a boy born in the world of Sierra, was born with weak and with mediocre talent. Despite the odds, he pursued the path of cultivation. He faced numerous trials, deadly foes and great friends. Eventually, he stepped into the world of the Divine Realm. Breaking past the limits of the world and traveling to higher planes. After millions of years, he finally reached the summit. Becoming a Sovereign Paragon. Longing for the world he left countless years ago, he finally returns to his own world. Author's Note: This story is different from other wuxia novels. If those novels focus on characters that struggle from the bottom and reach the top, this story is one where someone already reached the top. I figured it would be interesting to start a novel from this concept so I started it. Well, however this plays through, just like how I finished my previous novel, Doll's Smile, I'll finish this novel too. Of course, I'm writing this novel just for fun. I like to write lighthearted novels like this. Novels that I would read while listening to music and eating snacks on a pleasant and relaxing afternoon. Do forgive me if I'm slow in writing.
