《Kenosis of the Light Bearer》Chapter 41 - What can a mortal do to an Immortal?

He nodded his head and entered the next room. Inside there were a bunch of lifeless dolls. Once he entered the dolls sprang up and their eyes sparkled with red light. Their eyes were glass like cameras and their arms were silver like swords that cut the air.
They had a vicious air about them but their blades were blunt and wouldn’t kill anyone. Only seriously injure them. They swung their arms at him and rushed in to attack.
The goal was to defend and survive until the buzzer stops but he didn’t care for such conventional rules. He used his various skills and techniques to completely destroy the dolls one by one. There was a 20 minute limit but before 2 minutes had passed he had already smashed them so bad they were unable to move. There was a second and a third stage but they weren’t real people. Their skills were lacking in all areas and their moves were completely predictable. This was the easier test of them all, when it came to hand to hand skill he was unmatched.
He destroyed them all before they could even enter their second and third modes.
She was wide eyed, open mouthed, jumping around in excitement and smothering him in her cleavage as she celebrated like she won the lotto.
‘Tsk, I’m the one who scored beyond perfect yet she’s the one all excited. Heh…’ He found her to be quite an amusing person.
“B..but, the goal was to survive as long as you can. The minimum to pass is 20 minutes in the first stage. But you beat them all in 2 minutes. The system can’t register it and your score is…”
“Ah, what? My score is what?”
“It’s… Unknown.”
‘I overdid it again. Sigh.’
They made their way back to the office when a bunch of sounds were heard as she tapped away on her screen.

Beep, beep, beep
After a series of noises a gem was produced and handed to Lucifer. It was a simple bronze colored gem and when he rubbed his hand over it some information appeared in the form of a hologram next to an image of his own face.

Name: Lucifer Akira Position: Transfer Student Meal Tickets: 4,501 Silver Ambassador Class Rank: Unknown Overall Rank: 634,141,231,001,203 School Points: N/A Balance: 5.6 Credits Race: Human Type: Mortal

Lucifers eyes lit up, “Oh, it even has my meal tickets?”
The lady nodded, “Yes, it is connected to your silver embassy card. It updates automatically thanks to the campus wide Wi-Fi.”
Lucif nodded his head, “Wi-Fi? The entire campus has Wi-Fi?”
“Yes, quantum Wi-Fi and there is no passcode. Just click and log on.”
Lucif started thinking about the VR headset he had in his bag, apparently it was different from this worlds known VR. They said it was a full dive system. He didn’t know if it would work but he couldn’t wait to test it out. If he remembered correctly, a full dive system was a virtual reality that could transport the user’s consciousness into the game.
He saw it on an anime once but he wasn’t sure about the details.
Lucif looked at the hologram again, and noticed the outrageously high ranking number listed down. He didn’t understand and had a blank stare on his face, “Rank 634 trillion? What the…”
“There’s no way there is this many people on campus right?”
“Oh no, definitely not. On our humble piece of pie in the sky, there are 100 thousand students and 600 thousand or so other residents. This test is the standard UCA test, not only for this school but for all schools in the cosmos.”

“There are over 634 trillion students?”
She scratched her head and said slowly, “Honestly speaking, I’ve never seen a ranking this low before. More than likely the system assigned you the lowest rank. This is the overall system that governs all the planets under the UCA and the rank last forever. Even after you die, your rank will remain on record and will only change if someone beats your test scores. The higher your rank is, the greater your overall prestige will be. As a person who is a silver rank noble or should I say as a silver ambassador of the UCA. Your ranking should be incredibly high. But the system seems to have broken when you broke through its default perimeters.”
“Your true ranking has not been added yet because the system was not sure how to assign you since your scores were unprecedented on the first level. But I had to enter you into the system regardless so your rank is quite low. Sorry about that.”
A vein appeared on Lucifs head, ‘I guess being too awesome does have its short comings.’
“W..wait, you said something about this only being the first level?”
“Yes, this is only the first on the 9 testing levels. The higher you go, the harder it gets. After you pass through all nine levels you earn a ticket to the intergalactic school tournament where you can fight for the prestige of your school and earn eternal glory. This is also the only way to improve your rankings above the 100 million mark.”
“So even with my perfect scores, I wouldn’t be able to rank above 100 million?”
She nodded her head, “You wouldn’t even rank above the 100 billion mark.”
So many huge numbers were making Lucifs head spin, back in his day the population barely peaked over 10 billion. And 10 billion was considered a massive overpopulation.
“But how can my impossible scores get such a low rank overall.”
“Really kid, you are asking me this now? Where were you raised? You should know all about how it works. Well, no matter. I shall explain it since your parents seem to have failed to do so. There are 3 ranking list, if we were to put you on the mortal ranking list I have no doubt in my heart that you would be number 1, not only in the Parafire star system but in the entire milky way galaxy!”
She thumped her foot as she proclaimed boldly, in her mind she was dead certain that no one could match his test scores. “But…” she stopped in place, looked into the distance and sighed.
“What can a mortal do to an Immortal?”

Jack and Jill Conquer the Shattered World
There are our bad friends. Friends who serve to bring the worst out of us. There are our good friends. Friends who inspire us to greater heights, support us, and sometimes act as an example for us. Then there are our good, bad, friends. The ones who get us out of trouble as often as they get us into it. The ones who are with you when you accumulate those stories that you’re probably better off never telling in public...for legal reasons.

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.
