《The Man Who Met God》[Arc 2] Chapter 1: Beast (1)
Advertisement
The four were cloaked but among the five, only one seemed familiar; a muscular man with two big burly arms, each tattooed with a cross. However, on further observation, all the four behind the hooded kid had tattoos on both their arms.
The cloaked man pulled his hood back, exposing the distinct scar across his right eye. “Tianyi, we’ve met before.”
“Helto...”
“Yes. Our leader has decided to appoint you as the leader of our…”
Before Helto could finish, a cloaked person stood forward in front of the hooded kid and pulled the hood back.
From my viewpoint, all I could see of the person was the long silk-like ponytail hair.
“What..what! A girl?” I was surprised.
“How can this weak guy be our leader? Why can’t Leader remain our leader? If not, why can’t Helto be our leader? Why that guy?” She glared at me as she spoke, with her tiny finger pointed at me. She continued, “He’s so weak! Leader didn’t even use half his strength but look at him, he got a cut on his forehead! If it were me against him, I could probably even…” A candy was suddenly flicked into her mouth and she suddenly stopped protesting. Instead, her focused was entirely on the candy.
“Ehem. As I was saying, our leader has decided to have you join us as the leader of the bandits. We insist that you join us.”
“As the leader? How could I? Just like what she said, I’m weak! I could neither block all the attacks from your leader nor return an attack! How could I be fit to lead?” I exclaimed. However, none were having their eyes on me except the girl. With her innocent gaze directed at me, she continued sucking the candy in her mouth…

“Woah! Cute…” My mind raced as I observe her petite body and her glossy lips.
Shaking my head vigorously to wipe her image off my mind, my sight moved to Helto, who was looking at his leader as if waiting for his leader to take action...
……
“I’ve got a more important task at hand, so I’ll take my leave now.” Shaking off the awkward atmosphere, I sped off in the direction of home.
In the days that I and my sister spent in the basement beneath our house, several growls could be heard from across the wooden partition, as if a corner of the basement was alive. Though weak, a merciless aura could be felt....
What could that be? Why would there be something like that under our house? No... more importantly, what’s with all those red crosses marked outside each houses? It was as if the Louxtin army were trying to find something… but what were they trying to find?
------------------------------
“Leader, shouldn’t we give chase? Didn’t you say you’d like him join the ranks of us?”
But before Helto could give chase, the hooded kid immediately stopped him.
“He’ll be back, better than before.” Though nobody could see the grin on his face, the tone of his voice sounded pleased. And with a snap of his fingers, the group dispersed.
------------------------------
The trees beside the path were clustered and dense where not even the moonlight can penetrate. Within, a figure followed closely behind its target. It is a shadow; his shadow.
Upon reaching the the ruined village, Tianyi headed to his house and entered the basement.
With that, the figure vanished.

8 124Journey West 5000
With her parents murdered and her brother abducted, a trainee Monk of the Gun pursues the one responsible, the Bull Demon King, undefeated Warlord of the Crimson Army.Struggling to track down her enemy while braving the dangers of the wilds, she enlists the help of Sun Wukong, but 500 years under a mountain have taken its toll. Unstable and weakened, will he be more hindrance than help? Can he become the warrior he once was?A Monk and a Monkey journey across a world...... where the remnants of technology are seen as magic, while pockets of humanity strive to drag themselves out of ignorance.... where the descendants of animal-human hybrids, once created as instruments of war, now seek to dominate the world as demons.... where beings who call themselves Immortals and Gods preoccupy themselves with selfish pastimes, ignoring everything else. Among other things, a story about growth, grit, and being better than the person you were yesterday. Here's my rambling on why I'm writing Journey West 5000. Journey West 5000 is my crazy ambitious writing project to adapt a classic epic called "Journey to the West" for a global, modern audience. It's a sci-fi story disguised as fantasy, and has some road trip + monster of the week elements (as does the original Journey to the West). No system, definitely no harem, gradual power progression. Hmm, what else can I put here so potential readers know what to expect? My writing style for now is mostly "show don't tell", because I believe that readers don't need to have everything pointed out to them, and that they should be allowed to make up their own minds about characters based on the actions of those characters. I'm also trying to be less long-winded (a weakness pointed out by some friends) in order to write according to something Neil Gaiman said, which is to write as though I'm the one who has to pay for every word, not the reader. This will bring down my chapter word counts, and might drive away potential readers, but I believe there's value in learning to compress and be concise. All chapters posted here will have been edited. Constructive criticism, comments, and feedback would be very much welcome and appreciated. Please, please help point out any typos or grammatical mistakes, I'm striving to minimize those as much as possible. Above all, I hope you enjoy my story.
8 211A god's Perspective
Many stories have their hero, an underdog who rises up from nothing to become the greatest. We never see a story where the main character is a god. Many would say it would not be interesting, but give it a chance. You may just find, Once you have been awakened, You shall be awakened for eternity. Please consider donating to help me continue the story, anything you can give will help. If you cannot be bothered to leave a comment and try to help me improve the story, please don't rate my story. Due to lack of monetary support and time constraints, new chapters will be added once a week for the time being. No more and maybe less.
