《BROKEN CHAINS》Chapter 5.5
Advertisement
Closing the door behind her she let out a sigh, Hai Mei was an inner sect disciple, someone close to the third realm, in the competitive and hazardous world that was the inner sect she had to keep her image at all times, aloof and proud - but seeing this pitiful child had tested her resolve immensely, she wanted to be nicer to the girl but there was no way being nice would help now that the girl was to be placed in the outer sect.
Hai Mei steadied her steps and shook her head, whatever the outer sect might be it was sure as heck better than whatever that girl had come from that was for damn sure, she could not quite comprehend how people could leave their children like this.
Her quick steps carried her thought long white hallways until she arrived at a simple looking wooden door - her gaze wandered back and forth for a moment before knocking. “Come in little Mei.” a gentle old voice rang out making Hai Mei frown slightly, her grandad even after pestering him for years had never stopped calling her little Mei..
“I beg you once more to not call me that way grandfather.” She curled her nose and her slender eyebrows narrowed “I’m here because of that… girl, there are some problems, first of all, she does not have or simply does not know of her name, I do think it would also be appropriate to give her lessons on basic characters and how she has to act in this place, or it will just be a headache later, a child as young as she that managed to awaken on her own might just be a rare talent so I would assume that this is reasonable.” While she might come across as stern and uncaring to others, her grandfather could see through her facade. “Uh, did the little street child really look so awful that you are this concerned about her?” his amused voice carrying just a slight hint of disdain with it, but he simply shook his head. “If you see these things as needed you may do them yourself, don’t waste any more on someone whose worth is not yet determined, little Mei.” he nodded slightly His gray eyes darted to the piles of jade pieces and scrolls on his desk he had to much work for this so he simply waved his granddaughter off. “I’m too old to name children, you may name her - give her something simple that is fitting for her.” There was little Hai Mei could do but leave, her steps carrying her back a lot slower than before.

“What does he mean I should name her..I’m barely 20!” She huffed and puffed recalling the dirty little girl's appearance for a moment before dismissing any thoughts of naming her after that “I will give her a temporary name until she can decide on her own? I mean I can't just give someone a name…” She went back and forth of everything in her mind as the room with both children dreadfully came closer and closer, this responsibility was something she would rather not have right now, taking a deep breath she opened the door just to find her little cousin happily talking to the girl, on and on about different things before he even noticed her. “Oh, big sis! Your back! I have given her a name! Kou! It’s nice right?” for a moment she froze her eyes darting from her cousin to the girl - while the little buy just went on “Kou, after the white gate of Dongzhou city! You know the north gate is made off white stone!” And then he went on and on off how he got the idea and how she had told him that she liked the look of the gate, she did not pay to much attention while sorting out her mind - apparently, she had been worked up over nothing.
“Good, Kou it is, but... It shall be Yun Kou, I’ve spent some time thinking over it - Yun means cloud so it is quite fitting for you since your life now will be spent in our ancient cloud sect” She explained to the girl - before urging her up. “Good." She shook her head slightly "Now get up and follow me I will bring you to the new place you are going to live in and give your explanations."

Elder Cultivator
Anton is a great-grandfather. He is living quite a happy life, despite his advanced age and declining health… until a group of cultivator bandits moves into the area. The nearby guardians of the area, the Order of Ninety-Nine Stars, are unable to track them down as they continue to ravage nearby towns. During one desperate winter Anton is out on a hunt when his family- his entire village- is killed or taken as slaves by the bandits. He lacks the strength to fight them, and he wasn’t even present for their arrival to die with his loved ones. At the pit of his despair, he wonders if he ever had any chance to change things. What could he even do? He cannot even pull his best bow, and his eyesight is failing. If he had been a cultivator… perhaps there might have been a chance, but he was decades- perhaps even most of his life- too late.

Spirit Building/ occasionally System Creation (Ninety-Nine Stars) 3. Constellation Formation (Ninety-Nine Stars) 4. Life Transformation/Galaxy Construction (Ninety-Nine Stars) 5.

What if you can build a town that moves faster than the speed of light? Silas Creedy, a retired Olympic Fencer in his late twenties, has befallen hard times in a crashing economy caused by dwindling rare minerals on Earth and Helium-3 on the lunar surface. He works as a manual laborer for the Space Force, accepting a measly pay while maintaining a strong physique. On Monday morning, Silas receives a notice of termination, but General Grant Freeman makes a dangerous offer: explore a distant star system in a top-secret electrogravitic spaceship while wearing a prototype exosuit that augments reality into a role-playing game. The objectives? Locate a source of Helium-3. Plain and uncomplicated. Silas accepts, but on an Earth-like planet he comes across a seemingly unmanned crashed spaceship that has a remarkably similar aesthetic to his exosuit. As local Fauna attack him, the crashed ship’s AI hijacks his suit’s programming, fends off the the locals, and repairs itself by fusing with Silas’ ship. Silas soon finds himself in the midst of a war between two Kardashev type-3 civilizations vying for dominance over the Milky Way. With his new AI companion, Tracey, Silas decides to go on the run to keep Earth’s location secret.
