《The Divine Mortal》Chapter 12: Get a job becoming servant
Advertisement
"Wow!"
This was simply equivalent to the land of the immortals!
Just how Roy had always imagined them to be, the palaces in heaven should be like this.
Roy was currently in the middle of a tall, lush, green mountain. There were several gravel paths in the vicinity that extended to the peak and foot of the mountain. Old Wang was walking on one of the gravel paths leading to the foot of the mountain. Roy followed behind. As he stepped on the gravel covered by moss, the surrounding spiritual qi flooded towards him. All of a sudden, he felt like he was in heaven and had gone beyond the material world.
"Land of the Immortals!" Being his first time in this place, Roy was feeling agitated.
Old Wang walked quickly to the front and said, "Before we head to Holy Garden, I will only explain it to you once. Our sect is a little unique compared to others. This is because the various Dao techniques of this place are all related to swords. Therefore, we are known as Sword Cultivators. Our sect has a domineering name: Supreme Sword Sect!"
Supreme, superior to all others throughout the skies! It was indeed domineering. With just a name, an aura roiled forth, making Roy amazed.
"The Supreme Sword Sect spans across the land. Our sect is located in the Mega Mountain Range, which possesses the densest spiritual qi across the continent. Within it, there are countless cultivators who are practicing cultivation! Their goal is to become an Immortal of the Heavens, a real immortal!
"Mortals are not allowed into the Mega Mountain Range. In the eyes of the mortals, the Mega Mountain Range is equivalent to the heavenly palace! And you are currently standing on the mountain known as Poro Peak, located within the Mega Mountain Range."

Upon hearing these words, Roy was getting a little agitated. So that's how it was. So a real immortal sect looked like this!
Old Wang continued, "You should know that the Supreme Sword Sect is very big. Among which, the supreme leader is our Sect Leader. He is also the one you met previously. We don't usually get to see him around and he is the most powerful person here. I think that he is close to becoming a real immortal by now! Below him, there are various elders and other senior cultivators."
What?
Close to immortal? That Geezer? My Gosh!
I wondered what cultivation stage he was at! To think that the old man was the supreme leader from one of the biggest sects on the entire continent! The Supreme Sword Sect!
No wonder he was so strong!! He was such a big shot!
Roy was in a great shock by the revelation. Then, his body trembled, recalling the previous encounter.
To think that I was planning to fight such a bigshot. I must be really tired of living..
But something puzzled me..
Why the geeze- I mean the supreme leader wore a ragged clothing when I met him in that cave?
His hair was disheveled and his body reeked of alcohol too. At one glance, he looked nothing more than a drunk beggar to me.
It's unbelievable for one of his status!
I guess the stronger one gets, the more peculiar their behavior would be.
"Other than that, there are also various disciples. Among which, the most precious of all are the core disciples. After the core disciples, it would be the external disciples. The number of external disciples is a few hundred times higher than that of the core disciples." Old Wang resumed his babbling.
"The truth is that within the Mega Mountain Range, we, the servants, are the most common around."

"The cultivators are usually busy with their practice, while we are responsible for their meals, house-cleaning, feeding their magical beasts, planting spiritual herbs, cleaning the palaces, and many other tasks."
"A core disciple will have at least a hundred servants, while an external disciple will have ten servants."
Roy was very grateful to Old Wang. Not only had he taken care of him, he had even given him an introduction to the real cultivation world.
"Remember all of this!" At this point, Wang turned his head around before emphasizing each word. "As a servant, we have to follow the guiding principle: never offend the cultivators! Don't even offend the external disciples. Otherwise, we might provoke disaster. This wouldn't simply be about you, I would be affected too! You have to carve this in your mind!"
Roy had grown up in the palace, so he knew how to position himself. To put it bluntly, in the Supreme Sword Sect, he was of the lowest level. It was the complete opposite of his position when he was still in his branch family palace.
"Don't be demoralized. Even the servants have some hopes." Old Wang added.
"The majority of the servants are young children with barely qualified talents brought back by cultivators from various places on the entire continent. I was also brought to this place because of this in the past."
"In this place, one can understand cultivation and has the opportunity to practice the Ashura Gate of Enlightenment. If your talents are indeed great and you can reach the sixth tier of the Qi Refining Stage by the age of 15, you can also become a real disciple of the Supreme Sword Sect and have the opportunity to really become an immortal in the future by passing some assessments. I happened to miss the deadline by a year and couldn't enter the sect and take the path of the immortal." the old man sighed softly with a gloomy face.
Old Wang seemed reluctant to accept this. As he spoke of this, his expression turned grave as he probably recalled something from the past.
Reach the sixth tier of the Qi Refining Stage by the age of 15, then you can become a real disciple of the Supreme Sword Sect ?
Wouldn't I already qualify to enter if not for the incident?
Haah~ Too bad not anymore..
Roy only remembered one key point: as long as he could find that miracle-granting item told by the system, by the time he was 15 years old, he would have the chance to enter the Supreme Sword Sect….
Well, sh*t I am already 15 y.o. now. I wouldn't believe it if I were able to find one in 1 year, even if someone were to beat me to death.
15 years old, 15 years old!
He was 15 years old now and would be 16 in another two months. He would forever miss out on this opportunity.
"F*ck! What a shame that I have been crippled!" he cursed loudly, startling Old Wang.

Truck-kun Gets Sacrificed
Driscoll is my own version of a world with a game-like "system" of endless possibilities. MC has his own status, classes, skills, magic, and a living greatswordstaff in a world of monsters, demi-humans of all kinds, and even the supernatural. Sound good? Well, at first for Tru, it was a dream come true(I'm sorry). At least until reality hits him again and again. His quest from God is vague and must be discovered by him along the way. Hopefully, he can figure that out someday but for now, this new world's threats and his potential for power are motivation aplenty. With His new partner by his side, he's ready to embark on his mission of infinite sacrifice, however many lives it takes. The setting is pretty standard for fantasy, with my beginner attempts at writing. Litrpg elements are definitely involved here but It'll calm down as the story progresses and the world's foundation is laid. Judeo/Christian themes and principles take a major role and will be a backbone for much of the story. The fights will paint a picture in the mind rather than just be a bunch of number crunching. While he is meant to be a sacrifice to save all of Driscoll, he needs to gain enough power and influence to be a worthwhile sacrifice, or so he thinks. And so carnage will ensue as he avoids death as best he can while at the same time sacking himself for others. Truck Coon is your average determined, jiu-jitsu practitioner, tax associate that just started his new career. He dies to save kids from a semi-truck(Truck Coon got truck-kun'd, making him Truck-kun) and is transported to another world rather conventionally by God. Upon his arrival, he is quickly confronted with his first conflicts in the wild. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. Chapters are currently between 2300 and 4000 words and I try to post weekly, but also deal with severe limitations that cause late posts often. I have zero actual experience with writing stories and only recently started reading web novels in 2020. If you end up hating it, let me know your thoughts in a detailed comment or review, especially if you love it though :D I want to get better and welcome the feedback, so expect changes to be made with any flaws that y'all point out which I don't already have plans to address in future chapters. That being said, keep it constructive in nature, please. I have no Idea how the formatting and such will go, so if you like or dislike some techniques I try, give me that well-appreciated feedback! Thank you for reading.
