《Ain't No Rest for the Wicked》Yruen Port
Advertisement
Battle Aura focused on the meridians pathways of the physical constitution while the soul force focused on the spiritual growth. And the combination of two would help in forming chakkar. Allen cannot only rely on Soul force as it would be impossible to rely on only that, he is unwilling to be just like others when he has means and method to evolve.
With his current plan his training of the battle aura and soul force, One would train the internal parts of the body while the other trained the soul. They were to conditions and proportionate evenly which would raise his chakkar volume!
In order to perform miraculous feats with chakkar, ome need to run their chakkar force in their inner pathway in a certain manner which could be aided by the formation of hand signs. Allen doesn't need to go through it, he used the twelve major hand signs to reserve research the various chakkar point pathway and circulated his chakkar in his bodies inner stream. This is completely different from the meridian points of the battle aura which collects strength from the blood itself.
Allen could jointly train all three of his forces by incoperating the three in a cycle through his body.
After a few days of practicing Allen found that he could only cultivate his chakkar pathway and in extension his battle aura and spiritual force for a certain of time.
Through his body, there are various vital points, isle and chakkar path through which he could revolve his energy and cultivate it, using the elemental power from the surrounding, introducing his spiritual force, extracting the power from blood and flowing of chakkar.
There are various levels of these cycles depending on the quantity, quality and types of body points involved. There are the cycle of 16,32,64,128....
Out of this, Allen could only complete the two 16 cycle in a day. The process of completing one certain bottleneck and reaching higher realm is to surpass that certain cycle.
Allen needs to complete and reach 16 times the 16 cycles in a day, only after surpassing this limit would then he can proceed to next step.
Allen continued his journey through the boat, he took some time to explore around a bit, enjoy some meal in the dinning area and mostly cultivate and practice.
...
Yruen Port
Seventeen days passed by quickly, the ferry was delayed a bit due to the detour which is quite normal in the current season. Inspite of that it was currently stopping outside a deck at a middle-scaled city called Yruen Port.
Allen didn't rush to get down as he leisurely enjoyed another lunch, the ship was very busy currently because all of the impatient people were rushing to get down first, various people were also carrying goods and Allen didn't want to be a part of the ruckus.

Finally he decided to go out, as he took a small bag of his goods which contain some of his essential and wrapped it over his shoulder and then pinned his sword on his buckle. He was wearing a loose grey colored shirt which was stuffed in his pants, his toned muscles were showing out. He wore black pants and had his hair tied together behind his back. His face had a unkempt beard, and his black eyes shone with a twinkle and unmatched radiance which people don't dare to look into.
Allen seemed like an unrestrained guy, his face wasn't handsome but his disposition was quite something, he kept his back straight as he walked down the stairs.
"Hmm This again." Allen was walking down when he suddenly felt a gaze on his back, he didn't look because he knew the culprit. This sneaky guy is one of the passenger, his figure was rather normal but he had a hideous scar under his eyes, with only one look Allen could tell he didn't have kind intentions. Allen has noticed this person back when he was buying a ticket. The guy was probably eyeing Allen's money because people like Allen who looks weak and travel alone to these parts aren't very much.
Allen didn't care, to him the hooligan is merely a side character who will be chopped under his sword if he annoys Allen.
As Allen got down, a worker from the port approached him with a sheet of a paper in hand.
"Before unloading we need to tally the people coming in and out, it would be very appreciated if you cooperated." The person spoke in a very business like manner, Allen knew how the port would approach the people unloading to file their entrance. This is a protocol to make sure people with unkind intention don't come here.
There is permit which would be granted to the people afterwards which is needed in order to do any transaction here. Obviously there are some black markets but the best price would be offered only by legitimate shops which would need the permit, the same is for lodging, forming a team, etc.
Those who have previous experience here like some researcher, mercenaries and merchants have permanent permit which could be bought after a series of protocol is carried out.
Allen nodded for him to carry on. He would not mind taking the benefits of this, Allen is here for experience and he would most likely hunt some beasts which fetch a good price.
The worker expected his answer and he asked, "Name?"
"Allen Styles."

"Order of business?" The worker wrote his name and asked ahead.
"Adventuring!"
"Where are you coming from?"
"Alwis City."
The worker looked up from his sheet and said, "All citizens of Alwis City have free entry in the Yruen Port, Do you have any proff of your residency in Alwis City?"
"I have the students identification badge." Allen took out a badge with an iron sword encarved with a silver moon in the back. This is his identification badge in the academy, this not only indicates his legitimacy of being a student but also showcase his Battle Aura rank, every time someone breaks through they can forge another one. Even those students who have graduated could use this as an identify, such is the power of the prestigious academies.
The worker looked at the badge and even through he didn't show it, Allen could see an expression of bewilderment on his face, which is quite normal keeping in mind what his rank and purpose is.
Allen didn't care about him and swiftly received a entry permit. People like him who were questioned and permitted were not many since, most would choose to use the legal channels of authority in their respective cities and ports to get one beforehand. Only mercenaries and adventurers get one after coming here.
As Allen was about to leave, an annoying, sarcastic loud voice boomed in his ears.
"Look what he got here! This punk wants to become an adventurer all by himself. Hahaha!" A brawny huge bare chested man swaggered before Allen and laughed at him. He was accompanied by half a dozens of hooligans who were laughing with him.
"Hey, I heard them speaking just now, this teat sucker is just a mere Iron rank!" Another one spoke as the crowd broke into another round of laughter.
Allen was indifferent to their mockery, instead he could notice the unbridled greed hiding in their eyes. His brows frowned as he looked around and spotted the same scar faced dude who was on the ferry, he was just behind the brawny man who was probably the leader. Allen instantly understood what is happening.
Back when Allen was paying for his ferry fees, he took out his bag of money which he opened to withdraw the coins. What he didn't thought was that someone's greedy has eyed his wealth.
In the Alwis city, there is three general currency units. The lowest one is called bronze Kross, Above that is the Silver Kross and the highest is the Gold Kross. Each unit is ten times the value of the other previous one.
A single Gold Kross is a hundred Bronze Kross. Allen being a top student, have participated and win various academy competition. He has won quite some money and he wasn't much of spender either, after five years of collecting and also earning some money through some odd adventure mission he has collected a sizable amount of money.
Allen has a total worth of 53 Kross Gold coins. This is a lot of money for a commoner. An average family in the outer region of the Zither Moritz Area would need only 2-3 gold coin to go through a whole month. And this is the living cost of Alwis City which couldn't be compared to other regions, in the other market the Gold Kross coins always have a higher value which means it more value.
If compared to them, then Allen is quite rich to have such an accumulation of wealth in such young age but only he knows that this isn't much when compared to the expenses of a Battle Aura Expert. Even some middle grade Battle Aura techniques cost around 50-100 Gold Kross coins, the previous Allen was collecting this money to buy something like that. He previously bought a low grade battle Aura techniques which didn't yield him any benefits.
Although the scared fellow didn't see his full wealth, he was able to make out dozen of Gold Kross coins which were enough to stir his greed, especially with the weak strength and alone status of Allen. He thought that Allen is a dangerous fellow which is why he waited till now to inform his group but after listening to his battle Aura strength he was regretful to not ambush and rob Allen himself.
'I just came here and trouble brewed, is this the legendary ability of protagonist to always attract villains and enemies.' Allen smirked to himself thinking about this, he wasn't worried much because he knows they don't have the guts to do something here and as for the problems later.....
Allen smirk become a bit bloodthirsty as he looked at the group, everyone was inadvertently effected and even the leader took a step back. Allen was quite eager to test his strength against someone and these people would make excellent sparring partner.
"I have got two words for y'all — Fuck Off!"

Paths of the Chosen (Rewritten, Revised, and Reinvigorated)
Daniel Stewart was chosen to alpha test a brand new Immersive VR game, "The Realms". What he doesn't know is that he has also been Chosen by one of the Powers of a far-off world, and is now a pawn in a game much bigger than any he thought he would ever participate in. Will he survive and thrive in this strange new world, or will he stumble and fall, shattered by the ambitions of another? Does he have what it takes to walk the Paths of the Chosen?---Inspired by the Chaos Seeds novels, TheDespaxas's The Gamer, and a wide variety of games and books, although the world, characters, and systems are my own. Expect high fantasy, magic, combat and intrigue, love and loss, grief and passion. This story is intended for adult audiences and contains explicit sexual content, profanity, and violence (including sexual violence, although not by the protagonist and not as a focus of the story). Chapters with such content will be clearly marked, and all explicit sexual content will be behind spoiler tags. I prefer my stories to have happy endings, and especially in these uncertain times, I feel that it is important to maintain hope. While this tale will reach some dark places, I promise to you that, when all is said and done, the villains will be justly punished and the heroes will prevail and prosper. Remember: it is darkest before dawn, but dawn always comes. Please note also that although this story does not have the [Harem] tag, it does have an extremely slow build into a polyamorous relationship. Additionally, starting with Champion (book two of the series), the [Multiple Lead Characters], [Female Lead], and [Non-Human Lead] tags would also apply to varying degrees.This is a complete, ground-up rewrite of the original Paths of the Chosen, following feedback from here and elsewhere. It is now written in the third-person limited omniscient perspective and in the past tense. In addition, while the major plot beats are unchanged, most of what comes between them has been reconsidered and rewritten, with pacing and characterization as a special focus.---Update schedule: 2 chapters per week (Monday and Thursday), not counting bonus chapters. Chapter length is roughly 2,500 words on average, +/- 1,000 words. Chapters with explicit content tend to be longer so that they are still worth reading for those who would prefer a fade to black. --- Cover art by Agri Karuniawan (@artofagri).

The Adventurer's Guild(master)
In a world of adventure, magic, and kingdoms, only one man can keep it all from falling apart. As much as he wished that wasn't the case. This is the story of the man who became the guild master of the most prestigious adventurer's guild in the kingdom, and then came to completely regret that decision, as he is forced to keep the peace, file paperwork, and babysit adventurers. The life of a guild master is not as great as it once seemed. Note: The prologue is an extended -probably should have not took it that far- joke and is completely skippable from the rest of the series. This is my first work on this website, or on any website to be honest, so criticism is more than welcome. Feel free to leave comments on any chapter, not just the latest one.
