《The Journey to Godhood: A Madman's Dream》Ch 14

"Ahem... Master don' we first have to get back. I think your father is awake already."
"Aiya, my little disciple you are right. We will go speak with the king tomorrow."
Julius made a strange face. Concerning my parents I guess it was time to come clear. I had hurt them too much due to my ego. If I came clean with my parent, it would make my life much easier.
"Elise give me another bag."
"Yes."
I, Thorus was regarded as an invalid since I came to this world. Now it was the time to show my cards.
I begun converting the bag. It was time to restore my left arm. The reason I refrained from replacing my lost limb was so that I won't stand out. Now that I have gained a prince as my follower I needed to act sooner than I wanted. It was time to tell my parents the truth.
The bag turned in to a black light that shot towards my shoulder. A sharp pain went through my whole body, it felt like my whole nerves were under fire.
"M-Master- what's the matter?"
"A-Ancestor's arm... It regrew." Bould exclaimed in shock. The other weren't off better, it took them a few breaths before calming down.
"Now,now my little disciples. Regrowing an arm is nothing for me. Even the heavens can't contain me."
This was no ordinary arm, it was artificial and was equipped with weapons and a phaser.
The new arm was powered by an antimatter reactor, I could also feed it with mana to refuel the reactor.
I added a few gimmicks like a duranium blade that came out of the elbow. Also my fingers could open like hatches and shoot out mini atom bombs.
But the best part was the build in replicator it could dematerialize matter and form it to any matter I desired.
My new arm could also change its size and repair it self thanks to the nano bots I implemented.
"Master." Elise was clearly moved by my recovery, her chestnut brown eyes were moisten and she looked at me with a warm smile.
Ah, to have someone truly care was too good. I couldn't wait to tell my parents, I wondered what faces they would make when I appear in a grand manner.

"Hahaha, Elise, look master is alright."
"True, it looks like an ordinary arm. But I am sure it's not ordinary." Elise poked my arm in interest.
"Anyway. Before we go I need to do one more thing."
"What can it be, I wonder." Bob asked.
"You idiot, it will be something we can't fathom. Don't even try to guess." Bould looked at me like a fanatic.
I nodded to Bould, this bald guy knew how to behave as an outer sect disciple. I almost felt bad for turning him in to half sword half human. He won't have a peaceful life.
"Computer..."
A sound of acknowledgment rang out.
"Access earths data base, literature of 21th century. Create a profound sect elder inspired by the xian xia genre."
An elderly person appeared out of thin air. His white long hair and bear made me envy him. He wore a white clean robe and looked like Pai Mei.
The newly created elder looked around. When his black eyes me his face revealed a cordial expression.
"Young Master."
The elder smiled.
"Th-This?" All had expressions of disbelief on their face.
"Hoho, good good. This is Elder..." What was his name ? I looked at him, As if he had catched my meaning he cleared his throat.
"My name is Xiao Lee. You juniors can just call me uncle Lee."
"Hoooo, so this is one of master's creations." Elise poked the elder with her finger, the image of the elder flickered and Elis's finger went through finding no resistance.
"H-He...is he a ghost?" Bould and Bob's face went pale.
"I felt no mana or life signs in uncle Lee. So that was why." Julius gulped down.
"Now, now, it is quite rude to poke someone senior sister Elise."
"What?" Elise got surprised.
"Enough, you are not to disrespect uncle Lee. He might be a hologram, but that doesn't mean you can treat him like an object. Uncle Lee is and will be an important member of the Profound Heaven Sect. His seniority is not inferior to martial aunt Elise"
"Eh?" Elise became surprised. I rarely spoke harsh words in the two years I knew Elise.

"Junior pays respect to senior." Julius was first to step forward to pay his respect.
Bob and Bould followed suit and also payed their respect.
The scene became quite awkward with Elise standing there dumbfounded.
With just a chuckle Elder Lee dispelled the awkwardness. He stroked his white beard and said.
"To have been given life I am most grateful. Even if I am just an image, I am glad to came to this world. In my former life I almost understood the heavens and ascended to immortality. But during the heavenly tribulation I was attacked by twelve experts that couldn't allow me to reach immortality. I managed to kill them all but in the process became too injured, which lead me to failing the tribulation. By the 12th tribulation lightning I was destroyed in body and soul."
Shit this story was too sad.
"To be able to see the youth strive again." Elder Lee sighed and stroked his bearded. Slightly bowed, he cupped his hand. Young master it is thanks to you that I can see the light of the day. This one is forever in your debt."
I went closer to elder Lee and tucked at his robe.
"Now, now there is no need to show me so much respect."
Elder Lee looked down and patted me with a smile.
"Young master what is it that you want me to do?"
I grabbed his hand with both my hands. Elder Lee went on his knees facing me.
"From now on you are acting sect leader uncle Lee."
Elder Lee raised his brow in surprise his face showed different kind of emotions.
"For you to trust me with such a huge responsibility I am thankful young master." His hands were trembling slightly. I turned to Elise and said.
"Give me a core."
Elise nodded and was about to toss a whole bag.
"One will suffice. Just give me G rank core."
"What is young master planning?" Elder Lee was already on his feet looking curious.
Elise took out a core and tossed it to me.
"Uncle Lee since you are a hologram you can't materialize outside the holo emitter's range."
"That means I'm bound to these mountains?" A small ripple of emotion showed in his eye.
"Usually yes but since I am the most profound living mortal, I have a way out for you.You will not be bound to the sect grounds and you can even travel the world on your own."
"This- I would be forever be-"
"Yes, yes. Uncle Lee there is no need to thank me so much. You will be an important person to the Profound Heaven Sect. From now on I need to rely on you, I am still a mere child and thus quite limited when dealing with adults. You will be my arms and ears, until I am old enough. In return I promise you, I will find a way to make you truly human with a genuine soul."
Uncle Lee became dumbfounded his mouth was agape, he reacted like he heard the impossible. Even the rest were shocked.
"A-Ancestor can create genuine souls? Like gods?" Bob exclaimed in shock.
"O-Of course it is Ancestor after all, right?" Bould didn't sound so convinced.
"Hohoho, my cute little disciples, creating a soul might not be impossible. The universe is functioning on set natural laws. Since souls are part of the natural law there is only one way to find out how to create them."
Elder Lee gulped down.
"H-How can we find out young master?"
Explaining them would have been too much of a hassle. I needed to go back home quick.
"I will tell you later, right now we need to go back home." I converted the core in to a
mobile holographic emitter. The mobile emitter was in form of a token . This token was out of pure jade and on top the Chinese character for heaven was engraved.
I tossed the token to uncle Lee.
"Exquisite quality."
"Let's head out"

The Ordinary Life of Tom Nobody
[participant in the 2018 NaNoWriMo Royal Road challenge] The Ordinary Life of Tom Nobody is a LitRPG system story where each person transitions into the system, or SCHEMA as this system is known, innocent and unaware of his former life. Following the tutorial, memories return, but by this point, each person has a better chance of accepting their new world. It also gives them an opportunity to start from scratch, fresh without all the baggage of their former lives dictating their decisions in the early stages of the process. I don’t expect this will necessarily turn into an action-packed heroic tale, my intent is to create a character who wants to have just an ordinary, but reasonably comfortable life. I don’t know myself how well he will succeed, there may be twists and Tom may discover some heroism hidden deep inside. I guess we’ll find out together. This is my first writing attempt. I’ve wanted to write all my life, but I’ve never been able to develop the proper discipline to put in the work. I hope I complete the challenge and work my way past this hump. I am writing this as part of the NaNoWriMo Royal Road Challenge. While I will try to self-edit as I go, the challenge requires close to 2,000 words a day, so parts of the story may be rough, and things like plot lines may not make as much sense as any of us would like. If all goes well, and I complete the challenge, I plan on going back through everything and trying to polish it up. In the meanwhile, thank you for reading and I hope I don’t disappoint.

Drakon the Necrolord v2
Rewrite of my novel Drakon the Necrolord. 100 thousand years ago the system apocalypse began and all of the known worlds with sentient life in the universe got merged together forming a super planet. Orcs elves humans dwarves and hundreds of other species now living on one planet. These are the memoirs of one of them. Written with the help of the AI in his head and a little help from his friends. As a note: I have tons of worldbuilding done (probably way more than needed, as that was why the rewrites took so long. Depending on the reception here I might do more stories in the same universe and/or build a wiki with all my worldbuilding stuff.
