《The Divine Mortal》Chapter 19: Conqueror of the Abyss Inheritor (2)
Advertisement
This line of words was left behind by the First Sovereign of Abyss's Gate, Heller.
When appears, invincible throughout the world!
Roy was stunned! This Abyss Gate's First Sovereign, Heller was a little too mad, right? Between heaven and earth, who dared to declare themselves as invincible throughout the world, but this Heller wrote after practicing this inscriptions, he will be invincible against all?!
A simple line of words, but it was extremely arrogant and domineering!
He also got to know that the there was a ring called the Voidweaver Ring, and the two sharp black blades hanging on the wall were called the Blades of Dreadwyrm. Both items were crucial objects in order to inherit this Conqueror of The Abyss Legacy.
"Eh.." when the pain and the pressure had subsided, he gasped a mouthful of air.
"So I have to find these two objects ?" Roy muttered to himself.
What Roy did not expect was, the Voidweaver ring was actually a spatial ring that only existed in legends; according to his 'cheap' father, in the whole of continent, only the Monarch had one, even his grandfather didn’t own one!
The appearance of a spatial ring could cause bloody contention.
Moments later, suppressing the excitement in his heart, Roy did according to the instruction stated, opened his hand. A bright light burst out of his palm then gradually form a dark-colored ring as it floated up, and slipped onto Roy’s ring finger on his left hand by itself; then it seemed to submerged into his body, disappearing from view. When Roy thought of it, it appeared again on his ring finger.
However, Roy was about to explode from joy because when he checked in the system window it appeared as follows.
✡ Voidweaver Ring : A Spatial ring can be used to store nonphysical object

"What?" he stumbled.
"It can store an intangible object?" his wide eyes stared at the hologram prompt before his face. "Does that mean.." he thought for a moment, revealing a smirk.
Hehehe
Does that mean I can store spiritual qi inside this ring right?
Roy then tried to execute the Body Refinement Technique to try absorbing the nearby spiritual qi.
He proceed to stand in a strange position. His feet were stretched apart, toes touching the ground with the heels lifted, hands raised high above the head, his head tilted up, then faint spiritual qi constantly circled around his body, but before it could get too close to him, as if being blocked by some invisible wall, dispersed into thin air.
He continued his practice in this bizarre position, inhaling spiritual qi into his body, then try channeling it into the Voidweaver Ring.
Swosh~
"It worked!" he smiled at this act.
"Though I can only draw a small amount of spiritual qi. At least there's still room for improvement!" he clenched his fist.
He was glad that the last thing he needed to do was to find the Blades of Dreadwyrm.
"Come to think of it.."
"I seem to remember I have seen this blade.. "
"AH! It was present at that cave hanging by the wall beside the jade bed!" Roy revealed a look of astonishment.
"It looks like I have to make a small trip to that forest again."
Roy continued to practice this legacy.
The intensity was high, but the effects seemed to be huge too. It was especially so as Roy had prior experience in comprehending cultivation manual. Therefore, his progress was very rapid.
It was extremely tough to practice and was beyond what an ordinary person could withstand. However, the resilience of Roy's heart was simply beyond anyone's imagination.

Each day, Roy would run within the forest and jump between the trees like an ape. Other than that, he would dive to the bottom of the river, withstand the pressure of 5,000 kg of water, and practice his punches while holding his breath.
Or he would stand below a waterfall and let the endless water beat on his back.
Or he would punch crazily at a giant tree with a diameter of three feet!
He repeated these day after day.
Towards noon, Roy rushed towards the peak of the mountain. Under the scorching hot sun, he was sweating profusely while punching on the rock at the peak of the mountain.
"The so-called Conqueror of The Abyss legacy definitely requires hundreds and thousands of repetitions to master! "
Pa, pa, pa, pa!
That giant rock was shaking incessantly on the mountain peak. This happened on consecutive days. Eventually, cracks started to appear. As for Roy's hands and legs, they no longer looked the same from the beating. However, as his flesh and blood were destroyed, new flesh and blood were born!
Within his flesh and blood, golden shreds of spiritual qi were coursing throughout. The golden threads were even more numerous, especially when the scorching sun was at its hottest.
But, these spiritual qi couldn't be absorbed into his body. Roy's aim was to draw as much spiritual qi as possible and store it in the Voidweaver Ring on his ring finger.
There were injuries throughout his whole body. It wasn't limited to just the surface of his fists.
These injuries brought sharp and tingling pain. However, for Roy, who was totally engrossed in a frenzied state, this was nothing. The pain was especially unbearable when Roy dove to the bottom of the river. He gritted his teeth and endured.
"If I don't hone my will, how can I possibly become a cultivator in the martial way? If I can't become a cultivator, how could I possibly survive in this harsh world!?
"I want to become an Immortal Cultivator! I am definitely going to get stronger after going through more trials!"
With the high intensity training came extreme hunger. Roy had to consume many of the wild beasts on the mountain and treasures found each day. However, there were not many of these.
"The real treasures on this Mega Mountain Range belong to the Supreme Sword Sect. If I can become a disciple of Supreme Sword Sect, I will be qualified to use these resources. At that time, my progress will definitely be quicker."

Dear Spellbook (Link to rewrite in blurb)
A rewrite of this story has been posted here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/49881/dear-spellbook-a-fantasy-time-loop-rewrite Live. Study. Repeat. Tal is a sorcerer in a world where they are killed on sight, traveling with a man charged with carrying out the task. Every night Tal must pretend to study his spellbook to maintain his disguise as a Wizard’s Apprentice. If his disguise slips and his charade is uncovered, it will be his death. Seeking answers to mysteries that arose after his parent’s murder, Tal must accept any allies, no matter the risks, to uncover his family’s secret. But when he wakes up one morning to find himself trapped repeating the same day, he has to overcome his challenges all on his own. This story is an adaptation of a D&D campaign I ran but never was able to complete. I tried to capture the feel of a table-top RPG session —tropes and humor— without relying on the mechanics. This is not a litRPG or gamelit story and no D&D mechanics or system appear in the game. It follows one member of an adventuring party as he deals with the problems with that arise from being an adventurer. Namely, getting roped into adventures. The story has a time loop element, but will eventually move past that. This story explores the magic systems, the history, and the lore of the world through the lens of Tal's entries in his Spellbook and interludes from other written works in the world. New entries on Mondays Credit to JackOfHearts for the cover.
