《Death... and me》Chapter 31: Yin Yang Soul Gem
Advertisement
That night, Rean and Roan returned to their room after dinner. After that, they quickly took out their Spirit Stones and looked at each other.
Roan then decided to talk first.
"The 104th meridian might be weird. No one knows about it. Also, our meridians are in opposite directions as well. My own is on my right shoulder blade."
Rean nodded.
"As for mine, it is in the left shoulder blade. Let's try to open it without using Spirit Stones first."
Roan pondered a bit and nodded.
"Let me try it first. If something happens, call Alanda over."
Rean didn't mind and let Roan do as he pleased. Since he wanted to take the risk first, then so be it. Besides, it doesn't change the fact that it is just an extra meridian. There shouldn't be anything wrong with it.
Roan then gathered spirit energy from heaven and earth and directed it to the 104th meridian. However, nothing happened. The meridian didn't even budge, let alone start to open. Roan tried several more times to no avail. He reached the point to accumulate as much Spiritual Energy as possible and strike the meridian's entrance. Still, the results were the same.
"That's no good, it doesn't open at all!"
Rean then attempted to open his own. Just like Roan, he tried it several times, but they all ended in failure. In the end, he could only give up as well.
After some time, Rean looked at the Spirit Stones on the ground and asked.
"Could it be that we don't have enough Spiritual Energy? What if we use the Spirit Stones to give us a boost?"
Roan immediately shook his head.
"It would be okay if the meridian was opening, and we didn't have enough energy. But that was not the case. The entrance simply didn't move at all. This is not a problem with not having enough Spiritual Energy, but something else."

Rean pondered a bit and then said.
"We know that this last meridian has something to do with the White and Black Orb connecting our Souls through those White and Black Threads. We just need to understand what we are lacking to force them open."
Roan nodded and pondered about this issue as well.
Suddenly, he had an idea.
"When you look at this orb, what do you think?"
Rean pondered a bit.
"White and Black, Light and Dark..."
It didn't take long for Rean to understand Roan's meaning.
"Balance!"
Roan nodded.
"It does make you think like that, doesn't it? It's like Yin and Yang, the perfect balance. So let's try to open both Meridians at the same time. Also, leave your thoughts open so that we can be more precise while trying it."
Rean accepted the idea.
"As much as I don't like it, I will do as you said."
Roan snorted.
"The one who doesn't like it is me, but It is still better than being stuck in the Body Transformation Realm forever."
The two of them opened their minds and let their thoughts go through. At the same time, they gathered the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth before directing it to the two meridians. Sure enough, the meridians showed signs of opening for the first time. Seeing that made the twins ecstatic, but it also perturbed their balance of Spiritual Energy. Because of that, the meridian closed right after.
"Shit! Again!"
Rean and Roan then restarted the process and didn't get distracted by the changes. However, it was easier said than done. As much as they tried to keep balance, they would fail in the end. Some times Rean used too much energy. Other times, Roan was too late with the accumulation of Spiritual Energy.

Three hours later, both Rean and Roan were drenched in sweat. They couldn't help but gasp for air. Still, they understood that it had nothing to do with the other. It was simply too hard to keep such a balance. Besides, the two of them missed the point several times, so it would be meaningless to start accusing. Rean and Roan might not like each other, but they are two grown-ups, after all. They wouldn't start a fight since both of them were making mistakes.
"This is hard as hell!"
"Indeed. The only good news is that it doesn't seem like we need the Spirit Stones to open them. So we can leave the Spirit Stones for later."
"There is no other choice, we can only keep trying more and more. At first, we couldn't keep the balance for even a minute, but we can do that for at least 5 now."
"However, we only reached around 10% of the time we need from what I can feel. Is there really no other way to keep the balance?"
"Stop complaining and let's do this. It might take some time, but it is not like we are lacking it to start with. If anything, we are far ahead of any other kid of our age."
Rean smiled gloomily, but they started again.
The next morning, Rean and Roan went to class, looking like two ragged dolls. Hamarlia asked if they didn't want to stay home for the day, but they refused. The needed some time off after an entire night of tries.
Time passed, and another week went by. This night, Rean and Roan had been able to keep the balance of Spiritual Energy for over an hour already! The two meridians were already over 90% open, needing just a little to open completely.
Rean and Roan knew that they reached a critical juncture, so their concentration increased even more! They didn't dare to slack at the moment.
"Almost!"
"Almost!"
Finally, the last meridian was opened! Rean and Roan smiled brightly! An entire week of effort was paid off in the end. But just as they were about to get up, something unexpected happened.
The Spiritual Energy of the Heaven and Earth started to flow like crazy into those two specific meridians. They soon noticed that those meridians were not connected to their body, but with the White and Black threads connecting their Souls to the White and Black Orb.
However, they noticed that there wasn't enough spiritual energy. Their 104th meridians started to shake as if they were about to close again. Seeing that, Rean and Roan were frightened!
"Spirit Stones, grab your Spirit Stones!"
They reached under their beds and immediately took the Spirit Stones out. The Spiritual Energy inside the Spirit Stones started to rush into the last meridians, then into the White and Black Threads, finally reaching the White and Black Orb of Light.
It was at this moment that they heard.

Only Villains Do That
While waiting on an Akihabara train platform one day, ordinary high schooler Yoshi Shinonome was suddenly plucked from his normal life in Japan and whisked away by a beautiful goddess to Ephemera, a world of magic and adventure, to serve as her Hero and drive back the evil Dark Lord. This is not his story. Standing nearby at the moment Yoshi was isekai'd was a man named Seiji - a rude, cranky, misanthropic musician who was not at all pleased to find himself also snatched up and transported to Ephemera by the goddess's wicked sister, Virya. According to this self-proclaimed Goddess of Evil, the whole fantasy adventure thing was a game she and her sister played to stave off the boredom of immortality, and since the good goddess, Sanora, had picked her Hero...well, Virya needed a Dark Lord. A grown man with his own career and ambitions, Seiji has no interest in playing. Unfortunately for him, the call to adventure was not a request. Now, he must conquer Ephemera and defeat the Hero...or Virya promises to make him beg for the release of death before granting it. Playing along for his own survival, Seiji nonetheless is under no illusions who his true enemy is, and it's not the naive young would-be Hero from his own world. Placed in an impossible position, Seiji must make enough progress toward world domination to keep his sadistic patron goddess off his back, but not so much that he can't strike an accord with the forces of Good and convince the Hero Yoshi that it's the goddesses who are their mutual enemy. Forced to embrace Evil without being too evil, Seiji walks the razor's edge, building his forces and biding his time till he can get revenge on the goddesses and be free of them, his only certainty that he will not be getting out of this with his hands clean. A Dark Lord's gotta do what a Dark Lord's gotta do. Updates Tuesday and Friday. Most Patreon tiers get to read one chapter in advance of the public release!
