《The Strength of Duality (Newly Edited)》Reminiscing
Advertisement
The two Yun Tian hated the most in the Yun clan were his grandfather, the clan leader he had previously looked up to, and his uncle, who had appeared kind and appreciative of him. His early images of them completely faded over time though.
When he failed to break through into the dantian building they had dropped their kind facades. He excused this as himself being incompetent though and held no huge grudge against them.
A grudge was soon born though. They had tried to kill him along with forsaking his parents after their deaths.
But, he had already killed them, so he no longer had any major grievances with the rest of the Yun clan.
Still, these Elders and the rest of the clan had completely shunned him once he lost his ability to cultivate. Thus, while he did not want to kill them, he held no remorse in taking the rest of the Yun clan’s skill manuals and making them miserable.
He just said, “Let’s go Shen Yu, Bolin, Jin, Qing, Zan, and Zhi” and proceeded to ignore the Elders as he walked past the destroyed gate into the Yun clan. The wolves growled menacingly as they walked past, while Shen Yu shot those of the Yun clan hateful glances.
Shen Yu was cute and beautiful, while also not being especially imposing or tall, but when they felt her glare the Elders felt as if they had already been pronounced dead from the iciness and killing intent she exuded.
In response, the Elders could only lower their heads and tremble. Yun Tian’s group was stronger so the Elders could only do their best to survive. Suffering in silence meant nothing as long as they could survive.
After he walked into the clan grounds, Yun Tian called out to the Yun clan members in the surroundings, “No one is to disturb us.”

Besides taking some things, he planned on reminiscing a little on the past first with Shen Yu and he didn’t want to be disturbed.
So, he said to Shen Yu, “How about we take some time to remember the past?”
Shen Yu nodded and held his hand in response.
The wolves could read the mood and did not bother them, besides following behind them.
Yun Tian and Shen Yu had walked around the clan many times with their parents. The sights they saw rekindled these memories within them.
They talked about their memories and the scenes played out within their minds as they discussed them happily and downtrodden at the same time. They both ended up on the verge of tears while they slowly walked toward the courtyard where they had spent most of their lives.
When they got to the front of it and looked inside, they were at least relieved to see that nothing had changed about it and it appeared exactly the same as when they left it. They walked inside and Yun Tian told the wolves, “This is where me and Shen Yu grew up. We lived here with our parents.”
He spotted the wooden training swords they would use to spar and picked up the one he would always use. He reminisced and continued talking to the wolves while Shen Yu stayed close to him.
“My parents sparred with me and helped me train to grow stronger even when I showed no hope for the future. They believed in me. This is the practice sword my father carved especially for me.”
After that, he was about to put away his sword in his spatial bag to keep it when Shen Yu stopped him and asked, “Can you put away mine too?”
She still could not use a spatial bag, so she had to ask Yun Tian to help her out.

Healing what she said, Yun Tian instead put his sword back in the rack that was holding the four wooden swords each member of their family used and then stored away the whole rack.
Shen Yu watched on with teary eyes and said while choking up a little, “Good idea.”
This would be a memento of their parents for them. The two of them sat on the ground reminiscing the past. Seeing as they wanted to stay here for a while, the wolves came and silently laid around them. This brought some warmth to their sad hearts and comforted the two of them.
They did not even go inside the house inside the courtyard and just stayed outside the entire time. They stayed there for hours. Shen Yu laid against Yun Tian and had fallen asleep.
It was already nighttime, but Yun Tian had no plans on resting yet. He had reminisced happy memories and felt sad, but at the same time he had reignited his passion for revenge. And he wanted it soon. He did not want to delay any longer.
He looked at Bolin who lay next to them and said, “I’m leaving for a while. Stay here and look after Shen Yu.”
Bolin nodded and then inched closer motioning to his side. Yun Tian shook his head with a smile and slowly and gently slid Shen Yu from laying on him onto Bolin. Bolin wanted to be her pillow instead of the ground. Yun Tian lost his parents, but he was at least happy to still have Shen Yu and the family member, although they were wolves.
After that, Yun Tian silently slipped away and continued on silently towards the clan’s pavilion used to store skills. He got near the entrance and realized that even the people who would usually be guarding it were gone. The Elders had made sure that no one would disturb him.
He went inside and immediately went to the second floor from the first. The first floor contained all of the clan’s random books with basic knowledge like the language they spoke or even basic fighting techniques.
Stepping onto the second floor, he was not surprised or disappointed when he saw the four books since he had been here before. He knew these were the only low spirit grade skills stored here. He took them without a second glance and then continued onto the third floor.

MeiQ: Lore of the Labyrinth
Omaros City lays near one of several Yggdrasil trees that are scattered around the world. Each tree holds an entire labyrinthine ecosystem within or beneath it, yet the mysteries of their origins and what lays in their depths are only ever unraveled by the most skilled and courageous of explorers. Exploration of Omaros' Yggdrasil labyrinth is still in its fledgling stages, drawing in many with the allure of fame and glory that has yet to be claimed. Enter the harbinger Dubhan—cheerful, determined, and not terribly skilled at thinking ahead—and warlock Allouet— intelligent and resourceful, but desperately in over his head. Together, the two of them have half an idea of what they're doing at best, but that's not going to stop them from aiming for the labyrinth's unknown depths. MeiQ is, at its core, a fanfiction inspired by the Etrian Odyssey franchise, alternatively known as Sekaiju no Meikyuu in Japan. Despite that, it is written with the intent to be enjoyable by those unfamiliar with the series as well. The characters and the city of Omaros are original, while the story draws upon lore and recurring concepts from the game series. However, Etrian Odyssey is known for its lore being sparse and open to speculation, so much of the details provided in this story are exactly that—a fan’s speculation and personal expansion of the lore. This story was also inspired by and written as part of HereBeTreasure's Fast Food Frontpage Competition, enjoy some simple dungeon exploration plot and whatever else pops up from this.

Occultus Draconem
In an ancient time of Kings and Queens, the Humans lived in harmony with the great beings that roamed the Earth. No kingdom was more peaceful than Cadmus, where the Cadmians existed beside the greatest creatures of all, the Dragons. The ruler of Cadmus, King Anguis, although very young, was much beloved. He never turned a deaf ear to the Humans or Dragons of Cadmus, and the kingdom flourished. Under the protection of the Dragons and their Empress, Queen Maeve, paired with Anguis' extraordinary ability to keep peace, the lands prospered and grew tenfold within a few short years. Cadmus and Draconia became the greatest kingdoms known to exist. But it was not meant to last. King Anguis, barely into adulthood, was murdered in the night. His death rocked Cadmus to its core, and the Cadmians mourned with the Draconians, grieving for their beloved King. As Prince Agni, Anguis' younger brother, assumed the throne, he declared war on the Dragons, announcing that the kingdom would be Cleansed. He enlisted a brutal army of elite hunter-assassins known as the Enforcers to carry out the Cleansing, and the kingdom was consumed by a shadow of tyranny. Cadmus became a war zone, and the land of Draconia was devastated. A group of survivors of the Cleansing, Dragons disguised in Human form, created a secret society known as the Occultus Draconem. As King Agni's power grew and the Enforcers became more brutal than ever, a rebellion stirred. The Occultus Draconem began stepping in to stop the Cleansings, fighting back for the freedom of the Dragons and swearing to bring peace back to Draconia and Cadmus. But how can they succeed without the heir to the Draconian throne?
