《The Divine Mortal》Chapter 20: New Legacy Title
Advertisement
His battle strength had risen substantially.
Till late at night, Roy was still practicing these martial arts and movement techniques!
Puff, puff, puff!
Cracks spread from the center of a huge tree under the impact of Roy's relentless exercise. After which, the cracks quickly multiplied and the huge tree fell down in the end.
Pa, pa!
"Darn it. I was too engrossed and had forgotten to pay attention to my surroundings." Roy's heart skipped a beat as he looked to the side immediately.
"Huh, somehow I feel there's someone watching.." he scrutinized his surroundings before eventually shrugging it off.
As it was quite late, Roy also felt quite exhausted, so he planned to end this training session and going back to get a rest.
What he did not know was that a white-robed female youth had already been following him for half a day. She had already been next to him ever since he had started his little training.
However, she was a heavenly immortal cultivator, the one and only Marja Moon. Her expression revealed a look of faint astonishment. How could Roy be able to sense that someone was watching him?
Leaving the valley, Roy did not take any detours, heading straight to his small house.
By the time he reached the wooden hut, it was already dawn. Just as he stepped into his small courtyard, he sighed looking at the dull orange color adorned the dark sky.
"Ugh, I guess I don't have time to rest now. " he recognized the appearance of indirect sunlight being scattered in the sky's atmosphere.
"Junior brot- Senior Brother Roy!"
In the early dawn, Bubu and a few fellow servants hurried over.
They were the only ones familiar with Roy and the late Uncle Wang. They used to chit-chat together when break time and had formed quite solid chemistry with each other in the past few days.

"What has happened?" Roy was about to enter his wooden hut. He was aiming to complete the mastery of his newly acquired skill by today, after taking a little nap.
"I heard that Kicu and a few others were killed outside the mountain range last night! This incident has drawn a lot of attention and discussion, and all the servants are spooked. Rumor has it that a demon from outside has snuck into the Mega Mountain Range to seek revenge against these righteous men!"
"Eh. Is that so?" Roy absentmindedly said.
Serves them right !
Roy naturally bore resentment towards those people for what they did on that day. After all, that Kicu guy was the one who accused him of poisoning one of the Sky Crane owned by that Joke person. If only he shut his foul mouth, any of this wouldn't have happened.
Roy couldn't help but reminisce about the little time he had with his late Uncle Wang.
Uncle was a good person. Why?
He sighed and shook his head lightly to the side.
"Oh. I get it now." one chubby servant said, pointing his index finger into the sky.
"The world is getting chaotic." he looked sternly at Roy before continuing, "It's so chaotic these days. It would be better if Senior Brother Roy don't head out to relieve boredom. There isn't much time left for rest. You should stay in your room and take a good break."
Roy was speechless, they kept calling him senior brother despite being the earlier ones into the job, not to mention their age was more than double his age. He had told them to call only by his name like when they first met, but they persisted on calling him senior brother.
They were truly treating him very well.

"I would still like to go out and take a walk."
"Don't worry, I'll just wander in the vicinity of the back mountain." naturally, Roy insisted.
In fact, there were several times when he wished to tell them about his current situation. However, after giving it some thought, he would still like to keep his business a secret for his own good.
After all, sometimes it's better to left things unsaid.
...
After Roy took a bath and change his worn out clothes into a new one, he prepared to go out to his 'training ground' again.
"Haa.." he stretched his body after a good little nap, "Today is the last day of my days off." he said drowsily.
Roy made his way through the dense forest, before finally arrived at the back mountain.
Within the forest, the morning sun had already risen up from the east.
Layers of mist and haze engulfed the Mega Mountain Range. Even if one stood at the highest point, he would probably still not be able to see the edge of it.
Writhed in immortal mist and under the illuminating rays of the scorching sun, beautiful colors of the rainbow could be seen.
Countless Immortal Cranes were flying in the air, and countless rare and precious beasts roamed within the forests.
Rays of light reflected off from the swords of the immortal cultivators intersecting in the air, forming images of flowers or a thousand beasts.
At the hottest spot under the scorching sun, Roy was only wearing a pair of pants while forging his 'golden' bones. Under the hot sun, the young man had his hair tied up into a bunch. Golden light leaked out from his exquisite facial features from time to time.
After the end of the first tier, Forging Muscles, his flesh had reborn. The new flesh and skin were fair and white. At the same time, one could vaguely see golden lights streaming within. After starting on his training once again, his aura had changed and he was already a handsome man that had a radiant glow.
Amidst his eyes, the natural and disdainful aura was especially eye-catching.
All the rays of the sun gathered into one column and was injected into the body through the symbols.
Forging Muscles! His body was made up of golden tendons that formed a network and nurtured the growth of golden flames in his bones.
After succeeding, his battle prowess had increased substantially once again.

The Beta Test
Our nameless narrator participates in a beta test for an early VRMMO game Meridian 60. That's not the real name but it captures the spirit of the adventure given the chronological and contextual era of the game. His character is unique and special but purely for mundane reasons and not because of any inherent or social significance. The first chapter which is mandatory to submit a story on RR serves as a bit of a prologue with some exposition, although I limited that to a reasonble level. I plan to begin releasing additional chapters starting Thursday, to align with the 48 hour submission approval process and also because I have something to do Wednesday. I haven't written anything but the summary and first chapter, nor have I plotted anything out. This is because my plan is to release roughly 34000 words a day, 10 chapters of ~12.5 pages each, for 3 days at which point the story will be complete. I'd have liked to plan for more but handling the interface tables and so forth needed for a data heavy litrpg slows down the writing process. 100k words is a bit short, a standard pre epic fantasy 300 page spec fic novel, but this is mostly a writing exercise and I am considering a longer project if I can maintain the pace. Probably do a different concept, maybe a dungeon core, over 5 days, since a 500 page novel is more common these days. Slight subversion of VRMMO stories Stat heavy/crunchy No paying your bills by gaming No out of game conspiracies No angst, interpersonal drama, or damsels/dudes in distress Schedule is 30000 words a day excepting the first chapter, a limitation of RRs fiction submission system Fantasy, high magic, male lead, no party, guild, or harem No gore, some profanity, no sexual content, and no current plans for anything traumatic
