《In-game Item Storekeeper》Chapter 43 - Shut up and Fight (Tian Long Ba Bu)
Advertisement
The bowing crowd quickly gives way to the approaching elderly old man like avoiding a plague.
His reputation of being covered in poison was well-known in the crowd that no one dares to have close contact with him.
Chunqiu: So you’re Mister Shang. I have to thank you for returning one of our sect treasures.
Ding Chunqiu says while holding his feather fan behind his back.
Shang: There’s no need to thank me, Sect leader Ding. It would be better if you agree to my terms.
Before Shang and Ah Zi reaches Mount Manda Manor, they were approached by the members of the Constellation Sect who were looking for the Divine Wood King’s Cauldron.
To avoid further trouble like Xiao Feng had from them, Shang give them the system store's duplicate which he has obtained from Ah Zi and along with it, there are terms Shang has requested something from Chunqiu.
Chunqiu: If it’s about terms regarding Ah Zi, I am sorry I cannot do that. Ah Zi is considered one of indoor disciples and has learnt the sect’s martial arts, so her connection with the sect cannot be cut that easily.
Chunqiu says with a smile.
Shang: If Sect leader Ding is willingly to hear me out, I can list out the benefits you would have once you agree to my terms.
Chunqiu: Then I am all ears.
Shang: First benefit would be getting back one of the sect treasures, Silk Lock.
Shang takes out a white bundle that looks like a fishing net being rolled and tied up.
Chunqiu: I can get back my sect treasure any time I want. I don’t see any benefit in getting back now.
Chunqiu recognizes the bundle and says.
Shang: Second benefit would be getting thanks from an emperor
Chunqiu: Thanks from an emperor? What do you mean?

Shang: Ah Zi is considered one of Dablit Guaif’s princess and the elder sister of young master Duan over there. The emperor of Dablit Guaif himself would hope that she is no longer a member of Constellation Sect.
Shang says while he points at Duan Yu.
Duan Yu who is listening to the conversation, notices Shang pointing at him
Yu’s thoughts: Another sister!?
Chunqiu: Hmph, the emperor of Dablit Guaif should be fortunate that one of their princess is a member of Constellation Sect. Who does he think he is to tell me that she cannot be a sect member! Thanks from an emperor!? I don’t need that!
Shang: Then you should listen to the third benefit which I was about to say.
Chunqiu: Say it!
Shang: Third benefit would be avoiding trouble from one country and three sects.
Chunqiu: Trouble? I, Ding Chunqiu is never afraid of trouble. Even if the emperor of Dablit Guaif is here, I will not give way to him.
Shang: That’s right. To you, an emperor is not troublesome. The imperial temple, Tianlong Temple who is behind Duan Family should be troublesome for you.
This part is a lie. The emperor has not given a request to Shang but even if the emperor did not request, Ah Zi's father, Duan Zhengchun would prefer that she cut off any connections with Constellation Sect.
Chunqiu:...
Shang: That should be one of the sect. Second sect would be Griddha Palace. (Ling-jiu Gong)
????: Griddha Palace?
????: What sect is that?
????: Never heard of it.
This time Shang speaks to Chunqiu by ventriloquizing.
Shang: The head of Griddha Palace is your teacher’s senior and she is a very bad-tempered person. Under her command, there are a hundred and eight martial experts. What do you think she will do when she finds out what you have done to her junior?

Chunqiu: You!
Chunqiu knows Shang wasn't around when his senior, the sitting elderly man, Su Qinghe announces his betrayal of Carefree Sect to the crowd but he hears what he says, he realizes the young man in front of him is not that simple.
Chunqiu: You’re from Griddha Palace!?
Chunqiu says while stepping away from Shang.
Shang: No, I am not.
Chunqiu:...
Shang: Before you say anything, the third sect you should avoid having trouble with would be Xuan Wu Sect.
Chunqiu: Xuan Wu Sect... Your sect!?
Shang: I am the teacher of Ah Zi’s younger brother. If I don’t protect her, can I still be Duan Yu’s teacher? Am I right? Ah Zhi?
Shang speaks to the disguised Ah Zi who is beside him.
Ah Zi nods her head in tears.
From young, she has to rely on her wits while being in the sect and there is no one she could trust. She did not expect a stranger like Shang who she had lie to would go that far to protect her.
Chunqiu: Hmph, young man, as a martial expect, do you think you are already invincible? I will show…
Before Chunqiu could finish, Shang gives one punch to the face that Chunqiu’s body flies far from Shang.
Shang: Just shut up and fight.

Return, Synopsis In the Triangulum Galaxy, one of a number of galaxies controlled by the Empire of The DARK LORD, JENNA OF CHRISTOS finds herself on the run after she killed a patrolman. Becoming pilot on a pirate craft, several years later she and other pirates are devastated by attacks of the Imperial Legion and are now trying to regroup. Seeking funds that will help them hide out for a time, their leader THURGOD DRISTA and JENNA meet with a PROFESSOR of galactic history who gives them information, a map and an ancient artifact described as a singing stone. He tells them that this could lead them safely to a legendary treasure trove, called THE DARK LORDS HOARD, on the forbidden planet TRILLA. The hoard is supposed to belong to the ruler of the empire who vanished close to one thousand years before and is presumed to be gone. The treasure is believed to be hidden in a tunnel accessible from the planet surface but no one who has gone into the tunnel has ever come out alive or sane. Leaving the pirate hideout immediately after the meeting and avoiding a major attack by the legion, the pirates travel to the galactic rim for supplies and to leave a false trail. With them they take the PROFESSOR and ILISA, a serving girl. However CAPTAIN TRASKA the commander of a Legions task force called Detachment T, has guessed the pirates intentions and tracked them to the rim. The pirates leave on their next leg to TRILLA unaware that CAPTAIN TRASKA with his force of heavy cruisers, is already there and lying in wait for them. Allowing the pirates to land, including an unexpected second pirate ship, CAPTAIN TRASKA sends a force of troopers to capture both craft and their guards. Before they can do this, THURGOD, the PROFESSOR and others, numbering thirteen altogether and led by JENNA entered the tunnel complex. JENNA, warned by ILISA that she must be the one to hold the singing stone, carries it in the hope that it will guide her and her companions past the many dangers in the tunnel. Shortly afterward, VIS VISTRICER the Legions overall commander travels to Trilla in an armoured planetoid, a spacecraft as large as a moon. On his arrival at TRILLA, VIS VISTRICER meets with CAPTAIN TRASKA but before they can do much, they are both surprised by one of the LADIES OF THE CIRCLE who is waiting for the outcome of what is happening in the tunnels. In the tunnels, JENNA leads THURGOD and the rest of party through many dangers and tests. Four are killed in the tunnels but the rest finally come to their goal where, to their surprise, in a cavern they meet the DARK LORD who is alive and very well. He has been waiting for them so he can return to the Empire. JENNA finds out that the patrol officer is alive and that she and many others have been manipulated all this time by the DARK LORD. She also finds out that ILISA, whose real name is JURA, is a member of the CIRCLE OF LADIES and was sent to teach JENNA many years before on her home planet of Christos. The DARK LORD restores and fulfills a promise to release JURA from her service as a LADY. He next has each pirate declare their own fate and takes them to the surfaces of TRILLA. There, at their election, he executes two of the pirates while JENNA is pardoned and some have the death penalty reprieved. The rest will face the courts of the Legion. VIS VISTRICER is raised to the rank of STAR COMMANDER, the highest rank in the Legion while TRASKA becomes a COMMODORE. The DARK LORD returns to Tihab, the administrative centre of the empire. There he takes up his residence in a surprised and disconcerted imperial palace. JENNA is returned by COMMODORE TRASKA to the planet Christos where she is welcomed by the planets rulers and her family, some of whom were aware of some of what was happening.

Rise of a Scarlet Devil (Regular+Draft Version)
A young girl slain during a war was brought back to life by some unknown force millennia later. She could only remember a vague face within her memories, uncertain as to who it was but there was one thing she did know. She needed to kill that person. But she was too weak, she needed to hide, to grow. She needed to flee from the battlefield her enemy reigns over. And to do so, she needed to run eastward, towards Helios, a safe haven for those who have lost their homes in the war. And where she would grow to become the strongest Hunter under her own strength. What was it that brought her back? Only time will tell. #Author's Note The novel is organized like this:Regular Chapters (Act, Title, Part (ranging from 1 to 9))Draft Chapter DisclaimerDraft Chapters (Entry Number, Perspective, Title, Part (ranging from i to ii)) Regular chapters are edited chapters that reflect the story aspect more while Draft chapters reflect plot progression more. An occasional interactive chapter will appear in the drafts but nowhere in the regular chapters. Expect changes when reading between Regular and Draft chapters as some events in the story may change in length or entirely removed/changed. Only read the draft version if you want a future view and/or opinion on the story and design elements. The main character is a human from a fantasy world reincarnated as a devil. The story possesses Reincarnators, Transmigrators, and Summoned Persons. though mainly focusing on Magic and other abilities such as Aura and Skills. Wizards (those who prepare arcane spells) and Mages (those who use elemental magic) are separate but seen as the same by common inhabitants of the world but clearly defined as different by more influential persons and by the circles themselves. The main character WILL not be a Mage or Wizard but will incorporate mana into her attacks to aid her as does any high-rank combatants. The system in the novel quantifies a person's abilities and keeps record of them but does not define natural ability, occasionally granting special abilities as skills to a person once prerequisites are met. There is no leveling system and no occupational systems in the novel featuring only a stat based and skill based system. Also, this novel is my first and will most likely be trash.
