《Peerless Hegemon [OLD]》15. Echoing Cries
Advertisement
Kiel was outside, watching the stars as he instinctively connected the dots to form constellations. He was seated cross-legged, and on his hand was a blade of grass. Kiel began contemplating his words. He closed his eyes and revelled in the swamp of emotions.
[What are you doing, Kiel?] From behind him, Ame approached with a question.
[Nothing, this just… feels rather different from anything that I have felt. It is quite lovely.] he answered, as he watched a group of three approaching their home, [Ame, call Mother and Father, tell them they are here.]
[…Okay… try not to kill them out of spit.] Ame reminded Kiel as if it was a joke when she was serious, 'He's not acting like his normal self, Kiel is dangerous when he's like this.'
When Kiel becomes unsettled, only she knew how dangerous he can become… she still remembers the incident with the Stone Python. Ame may like this brother of hers, but she even knows that without Kiel knowing, he was a monster through and through.
The man named Harold stopped before Kiel, and as the other two behind them also did the same, they bowed their heads before him to show respect, "…thank you, for convincing him, the Clan will not forget this, Young Master Kiel." Harold said with respect.
Kiel did not show him affection nor reaction, the boy continued sitting on the grass before finally deciding to speak, "I did not do it for you or anyone else, my parents needed to do this, and I did everything for their sakes, nothing more, nothing less. I have engraved the words uttered by both you and father earlier, though I do not know the incident, I will keep this incident to heart."
Kiel's words were devoid of any prominent emotions, but for some reason, Harold felt like these words held weight more so than anything he had ever dealt with.

'He's not even a cultivator…' it was weird. The atmosphere grew awkward, as Kiel didn't say anything to follow up his domineering words. It was silent throughout the surrounding area.
Harold was having a hard trying to stay there and wait with Kiel as the silence almost choke him, so, he asked, "Young Miss Ame cultivates and has reached the Martial Master Stage of the Consolidated Realm… um…" Harold managed to think about his words and found himself almost looking like he was looking down upon Kiel.
'This is hard.' He said to himself as he failed to even talk to Kiel. An expert like himself was actually fumbling with trying to make conversations… he managed to humiliate himself.
Kiel glanced over at Harold, "Ame chose to cultivate by herself despite what our parents said, she has ambitions she wants to achieve. As for me, I chose not to cultivate… I do not want on cultivating in any way. But it is not like I can't do it; I just don't plan on doing it for no reason. I may be but an ant in your eyes, but at least, I am living a peaceful life with my family… well, at least that was the case before you and your people showed up. I want to live the life of a Mortal, and I will stay like that until my time comes."
Kiel's words only further the silence.
'Just what kind of person is this kid? Even the First Master was not like this… his words, his atmosphere, his presence, all of it are incomprehensible.' The two cultivators behind him thought the same.
Kiel went back to stargazing, and after a few more minutes, Noah and Ava exited their house. They had nothing with them, but an ancient bangle was now found in both their hands.
'A dimensional storage?' Kiel was surprised to see such a thing. If something like that existed, then there should be pocket worlds in this world because a dimensional storage was just like that, a Pocket World.

Kiel stood up, and Ame appeared beside him. Their parents looked at them, and Ava showed signs of crying… she didn't want to cry in front of Kiel, she feared her child may crumble if she does. She wanted to establish a strong front for her son and daughter.
Ava also decided to leave all the talking to Noah as she feels like she would actually cry if she was to even speak. She did not want to leave their sides.
Noah knelt on one knee, he first spoke at Ame, "My daughter, your mother already told me what happened in Town. A Sect is trying to recruit you, correct? My reasons for not letting you and your brother cultivate is so that you will not be entangled in the life of the Immortal World. But now that we are in this situation, I can now see that I was being too narrow-minded… you can pursue your dreams, Ame. Go to them and follow your ambition, we cannot be here to watch over you, so try to make sure not to go into too much trouble okay? I love you, my daughter." Ava and Noah hugged Ame.
"Don't worry, I will be good," Ame said with a broad grin. She was as energetic as ever.
Noah and Ava then moved towards Kiel, who was watching them with his usual expression. Noah had both his hands placed on Kiel's shoulders before speaking:
"I know that you are a filial son, who will do anything for his parents… but try not to live with fear in your heart. Try to live as free as you can, and who knows, while we are away, you might finally understand what your passion in life is. So, while you are waiting for us, you do not have to be so constraint with what you think you must do… just do it and live free. You can cultivate if you want, we will not stop you…" Noah and Ava hugged him.
"We'll come back soon… don't worry," Ava assured them.
Noah then spoke, "Reached out your hands, you two."
Ame and Kiel did what they were asked.
Noah gave them something, on Kiel's right arm and on Ame's left, there were bangles, dangling about.
"This is called, a Dimensional Bangle, it contains inside items that will help you live your lives while we are away… I added something special in yours, Ame, try to put it into good use, okay?"
Kiel looked at his father and then bowed with cupped hands, "Thank you, Father, Mother."
Ame did the same soon after.
Noah and Ava saw this and kissed them on the cheeks before ruffling their hair, "We're going now… take care and support each other, okay? Don't fight."
Kiel and Ame showed them a smile sweetly as they saw their parents leave.
Ava and Noah turned their backs against their daughter and son, and as they approached the Harold and other two, their tears fell once more… but they didn't turn back.
Their steps did not stop, and then, they all flew away using the Spirit Energy of the World.
As they finally left, Ame looked at them and laughed, "Heh, with this, I'll be able to cultivate more peacefully… now… right?" she was laughing, but just like their parents, her tears escaped her eyes, and she fell on her knees as she cried like a child.
This had been her life for years, and despite being a reincarnated person, she still cried. She wailed and Kiel whose tears also fell held her in his arms.
The twins' cries echoed.

Ari-os
Ari-os is a story about a 21-year-old woman who woke up in an abandoned lab with little to no memories of her past. Turns out she is in the future now and the world became a very different place from what it used to be. Magic appeared in the world, changing it forever, and humanity created a way to control it, allowing people to increase their physical and mental abilities while shaping the world according to their will, but something caused civilization to regress, becoming a mere shadow of what it used to be. In her journey to figure out who she was, what happened to the world, and how much time has passed, Kali will discover ancient ruins, fight horrendous creatures, find how humanity has fared in this harsh world and meet with droids that walk the land as remnants from the technology that the world once had. In this story, you are going to see Litrpg elements such as a system with panels, skills, and stats (Although not inside a game, the main character has access to information about her growth much like an RPG). Survival elements will be present but it won't be the focus of the story, but crafting and enchanting on the other hand are going to be quite prevalent. Please, do let me know what you think in a comment or review, all criticisms are welcome. Also, English is not my native language so if you see any grammar mistakes, do tell me :) Chapters of ~2700 words each.

A Dungeon Tested
Its a hard life balancing all the things a successful dungeon should be doing. Will our newest addition to the dungeon race even survive let alone make it to the top where dungeons such as the megafauna roam? Or will our main character suffer in the dust till some inauspicious and ignoble death at the end of some F-rankers sword? Note this is me having some fun while I wait for new releases of dungeon stories. Feel free to comment on that basis. I will be keeping the first few chapters slow so as to give me plenty to build upon later. I have tentatively given this the gore tag for now. With that in mind "Let the games begin".

Binary Progression: Torrented Edition
This was ment to be the self-published 'real' book of Binary Progression; turns out there isn't much of a market for this kind of story... that and it sucked! As such I am writing another (more successful) series but this was just laying about my book folder so I'm posting it here, please forget the fact I said it sucked, pretty please. JohnWillStab is the poorly-named shut-in on a quest to get into MMOs after a failed online career backfired leaving him uninterested in his speciality, strategy games. He discovers an old, abandoned game with an active, albeit very eccentric, community of no more than five-hundred players on a single server maintained by an unknown individual. Unbeknownst to him, the game he found is more than just an ordinary WoW clone and after many adventures with his group, they make the terrifying discovery that after two full volumes this story becomes a god damn isekai. What’s worse, JohnWillStab, the number-one edgelord on the server is somehow ending up in positions of power despite literally being an undead rogue with evil magic tentacles! Will John’s edginess ruin the isekai? Why does the doctor have the highest kill-count in the game? Is 👑 really a valid character you could use for your username? Can the chef perform an exorcism? Why is God asking John for chicken nuggets? Really, he could just spawn them in - in fact, we saw him spawning food in before!
