《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.

The Bronze Players of Recreation
The world of Creation has seen a recent explosion of what can only be called an adventurer’s culture over the past few decades. People who were once looked at as nothing more than lower class mercenaries rose to the ranks of heroes and legends as adventuring became recognized as an idealized lifestyle of overcoming hardship and finding triumph. With the establishment of a guild-based government system on the continent of Terramania, adventurers were soon legitimized and adventuring became a phenomenon universally accepted around the world. Redlette had retreated from this world to live on Earth for the remainder of her years, having been born and outcast by the gods of Creation. However, upon meeting a friend that she treasured dearly, she found herself longing for a return to her world—she wanted to experience it properly and go on adventures with someone whom she holds dear. Putting a plan into action, she meets with her friend, an awkward, nerdy boy by the username of Herring who she’d only known through years of playing online games with him, and invites him to go on this fantastic adventure with her. An adventure in another world had always been an impossible dream for Herring, but when he suddenly found himself with the opportunity to embark on one, he knew it wouldn’t be as simple as books and shows made it out to be. Redlette was notorious for rushing into things without thinking them through, and he was flighty and weak. In the games they played together, they rarely grasped victory. They were losers through and through, both in hobby and life. Despite this, though, he takes the leap and sets off with Redlette into the world of Creation. Together they only had one goal: to have fun and go on the adventure of their lives. This time, they’d establish a guild of their own and be free to take on whatever exploits their hearts desired. This is the story of the founding of their guild. Author’s Notes: -My writing style is largely based off of the absurd amount of light novels I’ve read and anime I’ve watched, so it may come off as cartoonish or exaggerative at times. If that isn’t your thing, I’d steer clear of this story.-Not an MMO story.-No numerical stats.-Relatively slow pacing.-Posts are between 2000-5000 words weekly after Chapter 1.

The Lord of the Opera house (DISCONTINUED)
The Zürtzün Empire. Once a mighty nation, it was plunged into war, completely devastating it. The people of Zürtzün felt deep bitterness towards their former enemies and intense anger towards their King, who they felt had betrayed them by dragging them into a war they didn't want to be a part of.

The Opera house, the enforcers of the Herrscher's rule and the exterminators of the Empire's "pests", has been neglected and left to rot. Or so it goes, in the eyes of a seemingly insignificant, but hardworking desk writer. He plans to escape the clutches of the Opera house but inadvertently plunges himself headfirst into the house's affairs...
