《Life of a Villain》Chapter 25: Selection of the Sect
Advertisement
“Fucking Bitch,” Andy murmured, returning his gaze to the Man in front of him.
“Did you say anything?” With a smile still on his face, the crown prince asked.
Andy smiled and shook his head, and said, “Nothing, but I will visit the capital soon.”
It overjoyed the crown prince when he heard the words of the young man in front of him as a novel thought took root in his mind. Suddenly, he patted Andy’s shoulders and said, “Sure, you’ll enjoy your visit to the palace.”
Andy’s entire body shook as the crown prince unexpectedly patted his shoulders, but he stayed still with a smile on his face. But his thoughts were swallowed up by curses directed at the man in front of him. Even though he had reached the peak of the Core Formation realm, the crown prince was one of the few men on this continent who had reached the initial stage of Heavenly Realm, and he didn’t control his power while patting his shoulder.
If the Demon Lord hadn’t restructured his body, a pat from the crown prince would have turned him into a meat paste.
The crown prince, on the other hand, was flabbergasted. In his excitement, he couldn’t control himself and patted the boy on the shoulder, but the boy still smiled as if nothing had happened. He nodded slightly as he reaffirmed his determination to make this boy his son-in-law by hook or by crook.
Everyone on stage was astounded when they witnessed this incident. They were very well aware of the crown prince’s power. Even though they heard that the young man was strong, they had not expected him to be this strong. As they looked at that young man, fire lit up in their eyes, and different thoughts raced through their minds.

Suddenly, everyone’s attention was drawn to the Crown Prince, who rose into the air and his voice echoed all over the place.
“Please forgive me, but I have an urgent matter to attend to.” he paused and turned to face Andy. “Young Master Andy, I hope to see you soon in the capital,”
“Sure, I’ll go to the capital soon,” Andy replied with a smile and a slight nod of his head.
As he heard Andy’s words, the Crown Prince nodded, and his eyes scanned the crowd one last time before rising into the air and disappearing from everyone’s view.
The commotion erupted as soon as the Crown Prince vanished into the sky, while reverence filled many eyes as they fixed their gazes on the sky. Even though many of them were cultivators, they had rarely seen anyone who could fly. Everyone knew that to fly like that, one had to reach the Heavenly realm.
Andy’s indifferent gaze wandered to the sky for a moment before returning to the manager in front of him, who was gazing at him. Every eye on the stage was fixed on him as if they were discerning every expression on his face.
“I think I’m wasting everyone’s time here,” Andy claimed as his eyes scanned the people on the stage.
Nevertheless, the manager hurriedly shook his head and said, “What are you saying, young master? It’s not like that, we,”
But Andy cut him off and said, “Sorry for the interruption, but I believe you should proceed with the selection process. I don’t want to spend any more of your time. Could you please explain the selection process to me? I’d like to be a part of it as well.”
The manager’s face turned strange as he turned to look at the people standing on the stage. But suddenly, a voice echoed throughout the mountains.

“We, the Heavenly Sword sect, would like to offer you a core disciple position and special access to the heavenly sword mountains.”
Everyone’s expressions changed as their gazes were drawn to an elderly man dressed in a white robe and a long sword strapped to his waist. Even though his face was wrinkled, his clear eyes were fixed on Andy’s.
As Andy’s attention was drawn to the old man in front of him, another voice echoed throughout the area.
“We, the Beast Taming Sect, would like to offer you a Core Disciple Position and a special privilege to visit the Divine Beast Mountains,”
This time, it was a middle-aged man dressed in a black robe who spoke those words. He had an appealing square face, his black hair tied back, and his hawk-like eyes were fixed on Andy’s.
As Andy’s gaze shifted to the middle-aged man, another voice echoed throughout the mountains, but this time, it was a woman’s voice.
“We, The Profound Blossom sect, offer you a core disciple position and the opportunity to choose many dual cultivation partners,”
Everyone’s expressions turned weird when they saw a beautiful, mature woman dressed in a blue robe with a pink ribbon tied around her waist. She tucked her hair behind her ears with a meaningful smile on her face as her gaze fixed on the Young Boy in front of her.
Many thoughts raced through Andy’s mind as he stared at the woman in front of her; even he was astonished by her sudden declaration. Even though he knew that the Profound Blossom sect was an all-women sect, he didn’t expect her to declare such a tempting offer that was only made to him.
All this drama was taking place in front of the crowd, while every elder made a tempting offer. The crowd’s mouth dropped open when they heard those words. Despite the enormous crowd that had gathered for the event, there was a pin drop silence as everyone tried their best to hear every word that was echoed throughout the mountains. Many people’s eyes glowed with envy as they gazed at the Young Man on stage. While they were trying their asses off to be selected even as the outer disciple. That man was being catered with wonderful opportunities.
Suddenly, a man scoffed, “Trying to entice the young man with such a disgusting offer? We, the Divine Flame Sect, offer the position of an elite disciple and the opportunity to enter the Heavenly Volcano Mountains.”
Before Andy could look at the man who said those words, a proud voice echoed throughout the mountains. “We, The Eternal Palace, offer the position of Prime Disciple and the opportunity to enter the Divine Realm.”
Everyone fell silent as those words echoed throughout the mountains; It flabbergasted even the elders of the other sect when they heard them.
While everyone was dumbfounded, Andy’s gaze was fixed on an old man in front of him as a smile formed on his face.

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.
