《The Demon's Gate》Chapter 118: A period of waiting.

Chapter 118: A period of waiting. When people saw a large eagle fly out from the courtyard at full speed, they immediately broke down the gate to the mansion and rushed into the courtyard. When they saw that the snow in the courtyard was dyed red with blood, it did not require too much thinking to realize what had happened. There were no corpses or body parts, but all the tables and chairs were broken, food and blood completely covered the snow in the courtyard. For there to be this much blood, it was highly unlikely that there would be any survivors. So the only explanation was that someone had killed everyone inside the courtyard and carried off their bodies. The thought that someone could enter the courtyard of the mansion belonging to the Raging Snow Sect, killing everyone inside it, and then escape afterwards, terrified the people of the city. One had to know that the Raging Snow Sect had invited every influential person in the surrounding area to participate in the birthday of Cui Bao, yet they had all simply died. Yao Jun of course knew nothing about the fear he had instilled in the people of the city. Immediately after leaving Raging Snow City, he started searching the surrounding area for a place where he could be safe for a few days until Guo Luo woke up. Yao Jun decided to not take any risks this time, so the moment he left Raging Snow City, he made Little Gray fly until he found a small mountain that was located a good distance away from Raging Snow City. But Yao Jun still did not feel like it was enough. So the moment they landed on the mountain, he immediately brought Little Gray into the gate, himself entering into the darkness. It was only after he entered the darkness, completely vanishing from the mountain, that he took out his gate and entered it. After entering the gate, he immediately moved over to the place where he had placed Guo Luo. Guo Luo's body was still surrounded by a large amount of medicinal herbs, a refreshing scent continuously emitting from the herbs. Yao Jun walked over and sat down next to Guo Luo's body, placing her head on his lap, he had already given her the antidote, so all he could do now was wait, occasionally feeding her some food and water to make sure that she didn't become too malnourished. His left arm was aching again. The Qi that had forced his bone to stay in place vanished after he finished the fight, so the bone returned to it's previous broken state. But Yao Jun did not care about that at this moment, all his attention was focused on Guo Luo. While Yao Jun was watching over Guo Luo, his Demonic beasts were busy dividing up the corpses that they had acquired in Raging Snow City. Ba-Shei and Sirius took the least corpses, handing over several corpses that would have been theirs to Little Thunder and Little Gray. After all, they were all followers of the demon god, it would not be good if any of them were too weak. Life entered a surprisingly calm period for Yao Jun at this moment. His Demonic beasts were busy eating the corpses and using them to increase their strength, while he himself was calmly watching over Guo Luo. He would send Yun Yantian and the others a message every day, making sure that he knew what they were doing and that they knew what he was doing. The only other thing he would do during the day was take care of Guo Luo, he did not even move from the spot where he had first sat down. “There is a small bakery in Great Rock City, it's owned by a an old man who made excellent cakes. I would run there every morning and get some cakes and bread from him. Uncle Jiang I would call him, despite him clearly being over 60 years of age.” “When I turned five, my father gifted me my first sword. After I spent some time pestering him, he agreed to train me the day after gifting me the sword. My father was a strict teacher, but I know that he was only like that because he wanted to bring out my best.” “My father made a friend while he was fighting for the Yao clan, a man called Yao Wuying. It did not take long for the two of them to become sworn brothers, both willing to give up their life for the other.” “Uncle Wuying's wife died before she was able to birth any children for him, so he always treated me like a son, that is why I call him Uncle Wuying. I have not seen him since we left Great Rock City, but I know that he has helped my parents several times after leaving the city. I hope that he is still doing fine.” As Yao Jun sat next to Guo Luo, he would spend the days gently caressing her hair. When he got hungry, he would take out things from his interspatial ring and use his right hand to make a light soup. Since Guo Luo was still unconscious, he could only feed her mouth to mouth, so he found that soup was the best option. He would also talk to her a lot, much more than he was used to talking. He talked about everything that came to mind. He talked about how he felt about certain things. He talked about how he planned certain things before he had done them. He also talked a lot about his own past, before his family moved to Flying Fish Town. He had told Guo Luo a lot about his past, but there were still many things he had not yet gotten the chance to tell her. He would occasionally send a bit of his Qi into Guo Luo's body, examining the inside of her body and making sure that there were no problems. His Demonic beasts would obviously not come and disturb him as he was doing this, only coming over once or twice to deliver interspatial rings that they had taken from the corpses. As Yao Jun was sitting there talking, he suddenly noticed that the previously un-moving Guo Luo suddenly moved slightly. He hurriedly tilted his head downwards and saw that Guo Luo was moving her head slightly, as if she was just waking up. Seeing her like this, Yao Jun heaved a heavy sigh of relief. All the poison was gone from her system and there were no other problems with her body, so it had only been a matter of time before she woke up. But it was not knowing exactly when she would wake up that caused the days to be almost unbearable.

8 79Re:Eclipse
Felix, an elite soldier, died in combat. He was one of the millions of people murdered every day by an unstoppable foe, who pushed mankind on the brink of extinction. His consciousness was stored in a secret bunker, but, by mistake, the transfer into a new body took five hundred years more than expected. Sadly, the only one available was of a short and weak teenager who died many years before. Many things changed in the meantime: magic, dragons, and other creatures that were once thought to be of fantasy are now common, and a new system rules on everyone and everything, allowing a person to enhance his body past human limits. He'll start again from scratch, trying to master it, but his time isn't infinite: mankind's worst enemy is yet to be defeated, and it's getting ready to finish the job once and for all.

8 150Path of Righteousness
What do you desire? What are you afraid of? You run away from one, pursuing the other. Is that all you are? Conquer your fears. Dig to the bottom and confirm, what you really want... ...For you cannot escape suffering and death. You only have a little time. Use it wisely. Uru, a young boy with no talent for magic or fighting, sets out on a quest to become an avatar of order, the physical embodiment of righteousness, in a distant future, where control of origin energy allows people to defy physics and manipulate causality. Mocked by fate and broken by impossible dreams, all that's left is to stand in defiance to cruel existence. Because there is a Truth out there, somewhere. Singular, transcendent, eternal. What would you sacrifice for it? *** This is a fantastic sci-fi epic. It's going to blend both western and eastern traditional fantasy tropes – like might & magic and cultivation – with rational sci-fi grounded fully in reality, to produce a purely fictional fairy tale. I'd like to deliver something light-hearted and yet wholly serious. An uplifting adventure exploring the unfathomable reaches of humanity, free of indecency, with a healthy dose of humorous banter, legendary beings, and most importantly – lots of exciting, firework-filled mayhem! I've tried reading many web novels, but there's a fundamental problem with them – the eastern ones are annoyingly repetitive, superficial and morally destitute, while western ones are often dark, convoluted and profane. There's only so much one can do to filter out the bad and try to fill in the gaps with their own imagination. It's one thing to eat tasty fast food, but if it's moldy and filled with toxins, then it's not only poisonous, but also disgusting. The appreciation of beauty and higher values is disappearing at an alarming rate. Although there are throngs of talented people out there, none of them are creating what I want to witness – an inspiring battle against impossible odds, ending in absolute victory. A triumph of the spirit so overwhelming, it crushes the spectator into his seat and takes his breath away. I'm looking for a real paragon, so now I'd like to try conceiving one. *** The MC's name comes from Tolkien's Elven dictionary in Silmarillion, 'Uru' meaning 'Fire', and 'Dagnir an Uruloki' meaning 'Slayer of Dragons'. *** Note: I'm neither a native speaker, nor an aficionado of literature – I've never written anything before, and despite proficient English my literary prowess is abysmal. It therefore takes me a painful amount of effort to polish the chapters and bring them up to par. Last year I wrote and posted some on FictionPress, but I stopped since it wasn't going anywhere. The appalling amount of filth and mediocrity being peddled in all the media nowadays – a result of no conspiracy to manipulate the masses, but plain supply and demand – is no longer just the triumph of form over substance, but most worryingly corruption of the latter. Who wants to read about ideals anymore? And yet, masses flock together to gobble up perversion and depravity. That being said, I can't rule out pitiful exposure as the culprit to my failure, so I am now once again trying to increase it here, possibly for the last time. If there are still human beings present, hungry or in need of a detox after eating too much garbage, make yourselves heard, so I can see a reason to continue the story. Otherwise it's pointless – I'm not going to make fodder for the masses, and I'm most certainly not going to throw pearls before swine. I'll simply stop writing altogether.
