《Even the heavens will shudder》chapter 1 : Lucius
Advertisement
The Areus continent is huge and countless powers battle for the lands and territories, there is five countries dominating it, the Athistan, Aplon, Treya, Efrea and Odron.
This world is based on strength and the strength of a country is based on the number of warriors and mages, they are the pinnacle of beings in the human ranks of course there is not only humans in Areus there is also magical beasts, a powerful magical beast can take a human form and have the same level of intelligence, they are the most vicious and cruel beasts they also dominate a huge territory, roughly a million square kilometers it is the wilderness , no one knows the amount of beasts that lives in there but one thing is clear it is the most dangerous place on the continent so no one dare to go deep inside it not even the strongest of mages and warriors .
In the largest country Efrea the number of people exceeds a billion, it is ruled by the Valter royal family and king Elias , in this country there is a famous warrior clan , the Odein clan it is ruled by a powerful family of warriors and they are the strongest power in the country of Efrea .
A boy with beautiful red hair was sitting in front of a small lake outside a village the scenery was also beatiful , he appears to be sad and he was crying.
“Sob…sob why is no one nice to me? what did I do to them? Just because I have a weak body from birth they bully me, the only one who is nice to me is uncle Alder “
The boy name is Lucius Odein, he is a twelve years old boy and his uncle that he mentioned is a powerful fighter named Alderman Odein, Lucius was born with a frail body his uncle told him that his mother died giving birth to him and that his father died in the war, the clan values the strong and he is week, he can’t cultivate his body and even train the basics so the clan nicknamed him trash of the Odein .
“What did I do to suffer this humiliation why was I born if I was fated to suffer “(Lucius)
After lamenting for several minutes Lucius decided to return to his house in the clan village, he lives with his uncle that adopted him, when he walked in his village two youths appeared in front of him they were older than him, one was tall and his hair was blond with sharp eyes the other was fat and brown haired.
“Hey watch what we have here the official trash of our clan hahahaha… why are you even living here? ” (blond youth)
“How can he leave if he leave he will surely die brother hahaha!!!” (Fat youth)
“What do you want with me this time are you not tired of bothering me?”(Lucius)
“Shut up trash!!! You dare to talk back “
The blond youth raised his arm and punched Lucius in his stomach, Lucius then vomited and fell on the floor, and the fat youth kicked him with his leg, he was in pain but he was accustomed to this treatment, indeed it is not his first time being beaten, suddenly a shadow appeared in the sky

“What are you doing brats!!!? Go away or I will punish you accordingly “
A loud voice came from the sky it was a middle aged man with white long hair and wearing a blue rob it was the uncle of Lucius Alderman he was suspended in mid air and emitting a powerful aura, the two youth instantly became scared and fled.
“Lucius sorry for arriving late your uncle like always pestered by those vultures of officials “(Alderman)
“Uncle there is no problem “(Lucius)
Lucius stood up and tidied his clothes that became dirty from falling to the ground, Alderman was looking at him with a sad expression.
(This kid if only he was born a bit strong … Alas fate is a cruel thing)
“Lucius I was summoned to the main house rest in our place I will return “
“Yes uncle! “
Lucius smiled for his uncle to not worry about him.
The clan has a total of ten thousand members, all the members who are at the age of fifteen or higher are all already warriors, like all the clans there is a man building and the leader family lives In it, the leader is named Garlan Odein he is the strongest warrior in the clan he was bestowed the title of duke by the king of Efrea.
To become a warrior or a mage isn’t easy, one needs to cultivate his body and spirit, the warriors cultivate external energy and the mages internal energy, and they absorb that energy that is in every particle of the world and refine it to enhance the body and the spirit , warriors and mages have levels of cultivation , if a person want to become a warrior he needs to cultivate and reach the first level of cultivation after that one needs to continue cultivating to become more powerful , there is two stages of power at first , ‘the warrior’ class and ‘the war fiend class ‘ after that if one transcend the war fiend class he can become an immortal , each class consist of nine levels it is the same with mages there is ‘ mage class ‘ and ‘ arch mage class‘ , in this continent the immortals are very rare it is too difficult to become one and most of them don’t participate in the mortal realm , they usually battle when wars breaks out and involve themselves only if another immortal participate .
The leader of the Odein clan is in the third level of the war fiend class he is an ultimate warrior and an asset to the country.
Several minutes later, Alderman reaches the main house. It is a beautiful building befitting a ruler
The two guards at the entrance when seeing Alderman immediately stepped aside to let him enter
“Sir Alderman let me guide you to the place my lord wishes to meet you “
“No need I know where he is “(Alderman)
Alderman refused the servant and headed directly to the 2nd floor, he then walked toward a room when opening it a big elegant room appeared with a large table in the middle at the other side of the table a man was sitting he had long silver hair and a mysterious air around him he was handsome for a middle-aged man but that is the effects of the cultivation to the war fiend class the life span increases and the growth will be slower so he looked in his twenties.

“Oh Alderman you came?”(Garlan )
“What do you need me for my lord?”(Alderman)
“Hmm …sit I will tell you” (Garlan )
Alderman didn’t dare refuse the lord and he sat on a chair
“Alderman Do you remember what happened twelve years ago?”
“How can I forget my lord “
“Good then I will go directly to the main subject their son I will banish him”
Alderman was shocked he frowned and instantly regained his usual expression
“My lord can i inquire why you need to banish him ?” (Alderman)
“Humph! … No need to hide your anxiousness in front of me I know that you will not accept but I don’t care what you think I can also banish you, you know?”(Garlan)
“But My lord that boy is weak and can’t defend himself how can you banish him!”(Alderman)
“Shut up!! I can’t feel comfortable with that son of their in the village I hated his father he took everything that I wanted even his wife …. Anyway tomorrow he need to live I accepted your request twelve years ago but now I changed my mind is what I said clear!!” (Garlan)
(How can this happen?? this fu…. man!!! If only I was stronger but he is way too strong I can only send the young lord to that old man) screamed in his mind Alderman.
“Yes my lord I will follow your orders” (Alderman)
Alderman then left the main house with an ugly expression
“This motherfucker he killed the former lord and now he want to kill his son what a sly bastard “(Alderman)
Alderman held no respect to the current lord he think that he is sly and arrogant beyond limit.
“Does he think he is the only war fiend in the world this bastard the former lord was stronger he only died because he was killed by surprise… oh my lord don’t worry your son will not die I swear “(Alderman)
In his house Lucius was reading a book, he didn’t have the ability to train in martial arts so he immersed himself in reading books and because of that he was more intelligent than others, suddenly the door of the house was opened
“Uncle!! You came “(Lucius)
His uncle walked to the living room and on his face a complicated expression , Lucius was not stupid he immediately knew that something was wrong
“Uncle what happened? Why are you like this “(Lucius)
“Lucius I’m sorry I failed I’m sorry but don’t worry I will protect you “
Lucius was bewildered he didn’t understand what his uncle was talking about
“Lucius what I will tell you now is important okay “(Alderman)
“Uncle what is happening? “(Lucius)
Lucius seeing the serious expression of Alderman began to be anxious.
“The lord decided to banish you from the clan and the village “(Alderman)
“What!!!! Why I didn’t do anything uncle why is this happening to me!!? “(Lucius)
“Don’t panic you will be banished but I have a plan for you to live safely “(Alderman)
“Uncle I don’t want to leave and you are you going with me ?” (Lucius)
“Sorry Lucius but I can’t go with I have some things that I need to do before living the clan “(Alderman)
“But uncle I can’t defend myself what can I do when I live?”(Lucius)
“I have a place that I can send you at don’t worry “(Alderman)
“ is there no other way ?”(Lucius)
“Lucius there is no other way trust me and I need to tell you something that you have the right to know “
“What is it “(Lucius)
Alderman was hesitant but began to speak
“I didn’t want to tell you in this conditions but I must tell you … your mother do you remember what I told you?”(Alderman)
“Yes you said that my mother died when she gave birth to me “(Lucius)
“I lied I’m sorry “(Alderman)
“What!!!! Then … how … and why did you lie uncle? “(Lucius)
“Lucius I’m sorry but it was for your good and …”(Alderman )
“First of all I’m not really your uncle but I was the servant of your father and mother “
“Not my uncle …the servant?”(Lucius)
“Yes your father was the former lord of the clan “(alderman)
“how can this be then my father also ?”(Lucius)
“yes your father also didn’t die in the war but was murdered “(Alderman”)
“Murdered? ..Father and mother “(Lucius)
“She was killed by the same person “(Alderman)
Lucius began to cry he was too shocked his parents were murdered by someone how a can a young boy keep his calm.
“Lucius the man that killed them is the current lord and another person, but the other became something that mortals cannot act against he is an immortal“(Alderman)
Lucius read about mortals and immortals in a book so he knows the mightiness of immortals.
“you can’t do anything but I didn’t want to hide this from you it is cruel for you “(Alderman )
Lucius was clenching his fist his eyes filled with hatred he was bombarded by shocking truths
“Uncle I … I will leave like you told me “(Lucius)
He was angered but he was not blinded what can a weak boy like him do he can only grieve for his parents and live in shame, he had no power to take revenge.
That night Lucius didn’t sleep at all he was too sad and angered at his uselessness that he didn’t have the ability to calm himself
The next day a carriage was in front of the entrance to the village, Alderman walked with Lucius to the carriage. All the bullies in the village were rejoicing that the trash ids finally going to leave
“Hahaha the trash will finally leave the clan what a joyful day”
An elder of the clan was yelling but Lucius and Alderman ignored him , Lucius boarded the carriage
“Lucius remember to go to the person i told you okay and there is a map that prepared for you in your bag “(Alderman)
“uncle don’t worry , can we meet again ?”(Lucius )
“Of course brat what do you take me for huh hahaha then go!!!!?”(Alderman)
(I hope you will be alright Lucius)
The carriage then took of
“Uncle good bye!!!!”(Lucius)
That was the day that Lucius left the village .

Xianxia Online (A LitRPG Progression Fantasy)
When Earth falls to ruin and humanity’s survival is at stake, all of mankind is forced to enter the fantasy universe of the world’s hottest VRMMORPG, Xianxia Online. To uphold law and order, past players’ profiles were erased and forced to start anew, while law enforcers and authority figures such as government officials were granted powerful positions right off the start. After all, this was a world where dog eats dog, and the weak are cruelly left behind. Xuan, alias Zero, had been the top player and a legendary figure on the leaderboards of the game when the news struck. He had been mere inches away from being the first player cultivator to ever enter Godhood, but now, everything he had once possessed—divine weapons, legendary artifacts, and mythical beasts for pets—was gone, along with his thousands of years of cultivation. Having always been a lone wolf and remained anonymous, this reset hit him harder than most players, who could comfortably rely on others for help when needed. But no matter. The path of cultivation was riddled with challenges and hardships—since when did he let something as trivial as this stop him? He may have lost all of his riches, but he still had the most powerful weapons of all by his side—knowledge and experience. Combine that with the various secret treasure stashes he had around the world of Xianxia Online, and his climb back to the pinnacle of strength would be inevitable. Very soon, he will rise to the top again, and crush those who dared to try and tie him down. This game was mankind's world now. And he... was the apex predator. Witness as Xuan climbs his way back to the peak of cultivation and dominates everyone else in existence! ***** Remember that more chapters can be found on Webnovel!
