《Sinner's & Redeemers》Chapter 3: A Newcomer

"Arugh, *Pant* *Pant* *Pant* this is too... much..." says Benjamin while being exhausted
"Don't give up now. Keep fighting!" says Archlight
"But.. we've been fighting for hours..." said Benjamin
"If you give up now I promise you won't be seeing the streets anytime soon. And you will stay down here training with me until I say stop. You got that?" said Archlight with a annoyed voice
Benjamin also being annoyed and exhausted, immediately struck back with everything he had with his sword.
"Very good swing. Keep it up and I might just stop for the day." said Archlight while smiling
Benjamin continued to swing with everything he had while being extremely fatigued and deprived of sleep. All of a sudden, He gained a huge amount of power. With the amount of power he now gained, he slammed Archlight's sword right out of his hand. It went flying across the wood floor inside the training room.
"I..... I Won. How?." said Benjamin with an exhausted but surprised voice
"What you did is known as "Boundary break." Once a Redeemer exhaust all strength when fighting, something like that happens. Congratulations, You pass again. This time you learned how to use a common Redeemer ability." said Archlight with a proud voice
"I did it... Great." says Benjamin
Benjamin then passed out on the floor, completely exhausted. Now Smiling even more, Archlight picks up Benjamin and brings him back up the staircase that led to the training area and prison cells. While walking through the hall leading to the elevator, Archlight sees a slim woman with beautiful white hair and purple eyes while wearing business attire.
"So... How did he do? said the Woman
"He did exactly as I suspected. Just today he learned the ability to use a common ability." said Archlight being enthusiastic
"So he really is as powerful as you say. By the way which common ability did he learn?" says the Woman
"He learned boundary break." says Archlight
"Boundary break?! At his age?! Haha, I did not even learn that till I was 19!" says the Woman being completely surprised
"Anyways.... Did Roland leave?" said Archlight with a quiet voice
"Roland left about an hour or two ago. I'm surprised you even let him go knowing what's going to happen." said the Woman with a worried face
"Roland is the self destructive type. Once he loses himself it takes a long time for him to come back to reality." says Archlight
"Aren't you his close friend? You should've stopped him before he went and....." says the Woman now getting interrupted by Archlight,
"Believe me, I've tried many times. I see him as a brother, we went through a lot of stuff together. I was able to leave behind what happened in the past. But he.... Simply can't.... Anyways, I'm gonna take Ben to bed." says Archlight
Archlight and the Woman walk away from each other. Archlight still having Benjamin in his arms, he starts walking towards the elevator again. The elevator doors then suddenly open. Maria the maid came out of the elevator.
"Master Arch and Sir Benjamin, What are the both of you doing at this time of the hour?" said Maria
"We just came back from training for the day. Can you put Benjamin in his bed for me? I have to go somewhere." says Archlight
"Your Orders Are My Desires." Maria said firmly
Archlight passes Benjamin over to Maria. She then takes him to the elevator and went upstairs.

Archlight then looks out one of the huge windows in the hallway.
"What am I gonna do with you Roland." said Archlight with a depressing look
It is now 2:00AM in the streets. A young girl is walking alone. Appearing to be lost, a group of thugs in rugged clothes wearing hoodies showed up.
"Hey Missy, you lost?" said one of them
"It's okay, Just come with us sweety." said another person in the group
Another group member then got close to the girl and touched her shoulder.
"Hey Little girl, I think its best you..... AGHHH." the member screamed in pain
"What happened?" said one of them
The group member turned around and had a small knife partially in his neck. He quickly ripped it out before it can cause any more damage to himself.
"OH YOU LITTLE BRAT!" says a group member
One of the thugs picks up the girl by the hair. Now defenseless, she screamed in pain.
"LET ME GO, you, you, YOU WORTHLESS BUM!" said the girl stuttering out loud
Suddenly, a Man wearing a butler suit and gloves started walking up to the group of thugs.
"Let the girl go, you smell like shit from here you fucking bum." The man in the suit said.
"Shutup you rich pig, go back to your fancy ass habitat before we drop your ass." said one of the thugs
Without warning, the man wearing a butler suit lifts his hand. A black mist summoned around the man holding the child in the air. The black mist instantly wrapped itself around the man's neck. Within a second it snapped his neck. He then fell to the ground, now being completely lifeless.
"Holy shit. Those powers.... is he a Redeemer? RUN!" said a thug shouting out loud
Before the group was about to run, another black mist was summoned by the butler. It went straight for their legs, slicing them like butter. Now on the ground bleeding out and missing their legs, the butler walked up to one of them.
The butler summoned another black mist. This time he reached in and grabbed a rifle out of the black mist. The rifle had a beautiful silver finish. On the side of the gun, it had a name. "Despair's Aspirations".
"Heh...heh.." said a thug while bleeding out.
"What's so funny? You wanna die that bad?" said Roland
"Thanks for making our death painless for us." said the thug while in pain
"Painless huh...." said the butler while trying to think
The butler looked at an alleyway. It was extremely dark outside, but he could see numerous people lurking in the alleyway. Most likely cannibals just waiting to be able to feast on the corpses that will be made. The butler looked at the girl and went up to her. The girl had long blue hair and light sea blue eyes. She was wearing rugged old clothes with numerous holes and scratches in them. When the butler walked up to her, he felt a huge presence. Almost like if she was as powerful as him.
"Another powerful kid... What in the world is this world making nowadays." said the butler while mumbling
"Go home before you get killed." said the butler
"I... I... I... Don't have one." said the scared, stuttering girl
The butler then looked at her. Almost as if he wanted to say something. He was about to say something, but a man with a trench coat and a huge 2 handed sword on his back started walking towards them.

"Roland... What is this? And who is she?" said the man with the trench coat
"Archlight... These are nothing but worthless street rats. I planned on killing them. And this girl is.... Well... What's your name?" Roland said while looking at the girl
"My... My... My... name is Angela." said Angela while stuttering heavily
Archlight walked up to the girl. And instantly felt a huge change in presence near her.
"Hmm.... Where are your parents?" said Archlight
"I... I don't know... Mom and Dad went to do grocery shopping a month ago and never came back." said Angela while being frightened by Archlight presence
"Do you wanna come to our home? It'll be safe there." said Archlight while smiling and squinting his eyes
"Oh.. Okay..." Angela said Quietly
"I'm guessing you plan on leaving those thugs left to be eaten alive by those monsters, right?" said Archlight
"Wait... What?!" said the thug
"Please sir! Show us mercy! Don't let us die by those abominations!" said another thug while almost crying
"Let's go Angela, Roland." said Archlight with a blank demeanor
The 3 of them started to walk away. 20 seconds later, Angela heard screams and looked behind at the thugs being curious. Only to see the thugs being mauled alive by the cannibals. She quickly looked away, Burrowing her head in Roland's clothing.
1 Hour later.
Archlight, Angela, and Roland make it to the wall that separates the streets and habitat into two. Archlight walks towards a security booth.
"State your business, Please keep in mind we do not accept government assist or aid cards." said the security guard
"Residential citizen, Number #17077239." said Archlight while looking at his Residential card
"Cleared." said the security guard
Roland walks up the the booth with Angela.
"Residential citizen, Number #17077279" said Roland while also holding his Residential card
"Cleared." said the security guard
"I'll also like to buy a Residential Permit for the girl." said Roland
The security guard gives Roland a forum. Roland quickly skimmed through the form, singing all the required signatures. Roland gives back the forum to the security guard.
"That'll be 50000cC." said the security guard
(city Cash)
Roland hands over the money and Angela gets her Residential card.
"Cleared. All clear, open the gates for 3." said the security guard
The gate now opens, allowing them to walk inside the habitat.
Angela, Roland, and Archlight walked to a huge skyscraper.
"This is your new home." said Archlight
Angela's eyes light up, Almost like a moon's light shining on clear water. Archlight calls a maid down to the ground floor.
"Maria, please take Angela upstairs and clean her up. Give her a fresh bed and clothes if you can. If she is hungry, serve her some left overs from yesterday." said Archlight
"Okay Master Arch." said the Maid with a quiet voice
The maid bowed her head and walked up to the girl.
'Your name is Angela? That is a pretty name. Come with me, do you want some food first?" said the maid
Maria grabbed Angela's hand while smiling at her. She now led her inside the front entrance of the skyscraper and walked inside.
"I'm surprised you're acting so kind to a random girl we just found. I'm guessing you felt her strong presence too perhaps?" Roland said curiously
"Yea. Tomorrow I plan on asking her some questions. She seems a bit Empty and dull. She is probably willing to give up or start over at live. I'll give her shot at training her." said Archlight with a smirk
"But anyways, that does not matter right now. We need to talk." said Archlight with now a completely different demeanor than before.
Roland quietly obliged, they both started walking down the quiet Habitat streets.
8 hours later...
It is 11:00AM, Benjamin woke up on his bed. With sore overused muscles from training yesterday, he could barely move. Benjamin moaned in pain. But with his positive mindset, he powered through and got up. He slowly walked to the bathroom. He brushed his teeth and took a quick shower. After putting on a fresh pair of clothes and taking his necklace, he slowly left his room and went into the hallway. Down the hall was Lisa the maid dusting off parts of the hallway.
"Morning... Aunt Lisa..." said Benjamin with an exhausted voice and attitude
"Oh no, Sir Benjamin you look exhausted. You should go lie down for a bit." Lisa said with a worried voice
"No no, I'm alright. Is breakfast served downstairs?' said Benjamin
"Yes, breakfast is served. Master Archlight is waiting for you. We also have a new person that moved in." said Lisa
"Really? Who is the person?" Benjamin said while being intrigued
"I think she is downstairs right now eating with Master Archlight. You should go say hi." said Lisa
"She?" said Benjamin
"Yea, its a girl. She looked to be around the same age as you." said Lisa
Benjamin now curious, he started to speed walk towards the elevator. Now inside the elevator, he clicked a button named Floor 15. 15 seconds later, he arrived at floor 15. He quicky went towards the dining room. At the center of the dining room was a table with Archlight sitting down. Across from him was a girl sitting on a chair. The girl has blue hair and seemed to be around the same height as Benjamin. Archlight immediately noticed Benjamin now entering the room.
"Come and sit down Ben." said Archlight
Benjamin quickly stat down on Archlights side of the table. Benjamin felt a quick change in the atmosphere around him. Almost like he was being watched.
"Benjamin meet Angela, Angela meet Benjamin. The both of you will be training for the foreseen future together."
Benjamin looked at Angela. He looked at her in the eyes, immediately noticing her beautiful lightly colored blue eyes. Benjamin quickly looked away embarrassed.
"By the way, is it just me or is there a powerful presence feeling nearby?" said Benjamin
"That is Angela, just like you she inhibits extraordinary powers, strength, and intelligence at your age. What you are feeling right now is an ability she cannot control. I simply named it a "Intimidation" skill. Don't worry, you'll get used to it soon." said Archlight
"I.. I.. I'm sorry!" Angela said out loud while stuttering
"It's okay!" Benjamin said out loud
"Anyways, what training are we going to do today Uncle Archlight! Does Angela need to go through the same thing I did yesterday?" Benjamin said with a excited voice
"No she does not, she proved herself yesterday. Today I want the both of you to fight each other with swords once we go to the training room downstairs." said Archlight while trying to look at the both of them
"Fight her? She doesn't even looked all that skilled." said Benjamin with a confused look
"Never underestimate you're opponent Ben. Even if the opponent looks unskilled or weak, you can get killed with ease by staying in that mindset. When you fight anyone, Think of them to be on the same level as you. Until you fight said person, that's when you judge with confidence." said Archlight
Maria the maid serves Benjamin and Angela food.
"Both of you, finish your food quickly. We will be going downstairs soon." said Archlight

Khaldir's Observer
Markus Kuberski, a 21-year-old mechanical engineering student at the Vienna University of Technology and a weeb, is bored by life. He has no girlfriend he cannot meet up with his friends because there is another Covid-lockdown and getting a side-job is also unsuccessful. Therefore, he has started to write a web novel. “If I cannot be the main character with magical powers and a harem full of cute girls in real life then I will create my own universe and be its protagonist.” Although that has been his first thought, he neither dare to use himself as the main character’s template nor write a harem story. “I am not that desperate!” he muses to himself. Little does he know that he will get more than he asked for when a mighty existence becomes interested in his story and makes it a reality. Hello, this is my first attempt at creating something like a novel. English is also not my native language, so expect some grammar and punctuation issues. I am using Grammarly to help myself in this regard, but in some areas, the free app cannot correct everything.There is currently no fixed schedule, although I believe that two chapters per week should be reasonable. Depending on how much time I have, I can write more.

So What If I'm Trash? Who Needs Cultivation?!
Qing Shan Long. They say he isn't human. An escaped experiment from some government facility, a reincarnation of a saint, a freakish superhuman. Whatever he was one thing was clear. Be it Music, Martial Arts, Science, whatever he does he excels. He was a whimsical man. A great man. A man who craving for knowledge and excitement knows no bounds, whose collection of books and personal library would even make Alexander the Great green with envy. He donated to all manners of charities and funded many projects for helping the poor and disabled. A self made man who single handedly founded one of the largest corporations in the world, Wen Qu Technologies, whose influences reach from vast fields of expertise. From objects of war such as the newest aircrafts, droids, and body armor; to life saving medicine and vaccines; to even the mundane such as video games and the fast food industry. A legendary example of determination and hard work. He was in his car being driven to a business meeting to disclose a deal that would help ensure the country could have access to clean energy and help reduce the pollution that has been plaguing his homeland for the past millenia when he was assassinated and woke up in a strange new world. How will Qing Shan deal with his new environment where the strong suppresses the weak? From the top of the world he suddenly finds himself free falling to rock bottom. Unable to cultivate, a weak body, and all but disowned by his family. (For those who read comics and watch cartoons, imagine him as being Tony Stark, Richard Reeds, Jimmy Neutron, etc level of 'Genius'. ) My own spin on some familar tropes. Another reincarnation into another world story. The MC will take over the body of someone with a trash body that can't cultivate and will be hated and neglected by his family. Pretty typical so far right? Except there won't be some amazing miracle to heal our MC, there isn't some magical grandpa to teach him some OP thing which only his trash body can use, there isn't a hidden op bloodline, and he is not from a super amazing assassin clan or genius doctor. He isn't the chosen one, he's just a guy trying his best to make something with a crap situation. First attempt at a wuxia type story! I like playing with common tropes, maybe adding a twist, to playing it straight as a classic. I have absolutely no idea where this is going to take me but please do give your input and I'll do my best so that everyone has a say in where our journey will go. I'll admit the only knowledge I have of chinese history and ancient society is from reading light novels translated to english and some old dramas, so if I make some social passe just take it as because this is another world, not exactly an AU where magic and stuff actually exist. I'm also not actually Chinese and will basically using google to help me with names and other such, if I make a mistake please let me know! (Even if you don't like the story or couldn't bare to get past chapter 1 please leave a comment so I can find out where to improve, thank you!)
