《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.

Saint's Supporter
Dumped into a world by myself, set up with a class that requires others to excel with just over a week to prepare for a fight with a literal god. This is just another betrayal to add to the list. I won't stop until I find the person who put me in this situation, along with my friend who I dragged into this mess. Transferring to another world and gaining special powers is a dream for some, but if they were dropped into my shoes... they'd probably give up. But I won't. This story has the following elements: Male MC Light RPG mechanics (no in-story stat tables) Non-standard class for the MC Moderate violence A mix of solo fights and group battles with a balance of tactics, skill and ability usage If you're looking for the below, you may be disappointed: Instantly overpowered MC (no prior skills in combat, every bit of growth is earned) Female MC (duh) Explicit sex (may be referenced, but no NSFW chapters) Health bars (damage taken and given reflects reality) Harem Gore and ultra-violence **This story is a First Draft, changes may take place during the process. Three chapters per week at minimum.** **So, this is set up as a GameLit transported to a new world story initially, but it focuses on how such a system would work in real life. There are levels, abilities and mana pools, but damage and health are realistic and combat is fast and frantic. I think that is an interesting mix. If you have any questions, just ask in the comments. I'm always happy to discuss anything in relation to the story.**

Myth of The World's Trees
And Simon answered their call with a single statement that nobody understood "Et super mos absit hoc hodie!" "Yah!" "WWWaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!" "AAAlllllaaaaallllaaaaallllaaaa!" "EeEEellllleeeeeelllllleeeeeeuuuuuuu!" I, too, yelled a battle cry at the top of my lungs. I had no idea what Simon had just spouted but from Camilla's giggling, I could guess that Simon thought that spouting nonsense was his way of getting out of the earlier predicament. "I forbid death upon this day," Camilla said. "What?" I answered a bit at a loss. "Ancient Latin," she replied smugly, "He said 'I forbid death upon this day'." I laughed aloud "Then he is gonna be really disappointed in everyone here," Camilla did not reply and instead took a deep breath. I did the same, zoning out everything in my surroundings. The environment became a world of electrical pulses traveling across several networks. I perceived the world through my lightning and sped my heartbeat to inhuman levels. I was present now, at this moment, at this point in time. I could feel the electrifying air saturating my lungs, the electrified ground vibrating at the rhythm of the approaching enemy. Then I took a step forward, everyone followed in tandem. Camilla the first, and then the others. Then I took a second step, and this time everyone followed simultaneously. Third step… Fourth step… Fifth step… Then light jogging… Speeding up… Running … Running faster…. Then suddenly, everyone disappeared into motes of light particles that re-constructed itself hundreds of feet above the horde, dozens of miles away from our initial position. We were literally 'diving' into battle.-------------------------------------------------------------------Despite a rough childhood in the slums, Omari had everything a guy could want - a loving girlfriend, an understanding sister, a wonderful teacher, and his dream job.
