《Shared System》26. If you didn't seek death... 2
Advertisement
"Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Zheng Jie: Shi Xiang, you definitely must not abandon Liu Xun."
That was the first thing that come to Zheng Jie after he comes back.
"Wait for me-"
That was what he was about to type, but realizing just what he is doing at the last moment, the sect master stops himself in his track. His mind was full of conflicting emotion. Just what is this "Many Paths of Reincarnation" that affect such a master so deeply?
This matter, perhaps in this lifetime, Zheng Jie will never tell anyone.
For a moment, he felt "love".
The Many Paths of Reincarnation was just that, the moment Zheng Jie pressed that button once upon a time, he enters into the many paths of reincarnation. Remembering it, the life that he experience seems so close and yet so distance.
The moment the sect master activates the system's "Many paths of reincarnation", he experienced the life of another person.
The up and down of that person's life was supposed to be nothing in an enlightened saint's eyes, however how could it be that easy. Only when he left behind everything and starts living earnestly as a normal person, not the disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect's Sect Master, not someone who was enlightened since when he was young, does everything come into perspective.
The turbulent life, it was a short life. Not even stepping past 18 years of age, that was the life that the sect master of the Heavenly Sword Sect has lived, once he activated the Many paths of Reincarnation system. 18 years are short, not even a blink in a cultivator's eyes, especially not even in an enlightened saint's eyes, but only when he is the participant of such a story, was his heart moved.

For the first time in 2000 years, Zheng Jie's heart moves.
It was a fabricated life, nothing to him at all, but damn it-
He can't let go.
That was what the words "Wait for me-" mean.
The moment the heavenly saint realizes the fact is the moment he stops himself.
His heart has moved, but there are certain boundary that should not be broken.
Especially if the other life was a fabricated one, a long dream, a dream of love. The events in the dream could never have happened based on what Zheng Jie knows and the person in the dream would never recognize him.
They were not related in any way, and yet still...
His heart moves.
It was an unfamiliar feeling. Zheng Jie curses the unresponsive system for blessing him with a curse.
For the first time in years, there is a change in his cultivation. However, whether the change is good or bad, Zheng Jie could not decide yet. All he knows is that, there has been a change in him. He curses the system for playing such a trick on him, no matter how much it benefits him.
At that moment however, a bolt of lightning appears in the sky and strike down the Sword Saint Abode just as Zheng Jie curses the person behind his predicament. Naturally even a heaven sent calamity could not get through the mysterious aura that has covered the Sword Saint Abode for millenias, however it did get the sword saint to look.
Zheng Jie looks at the thunder and lightning, many thoughts ran through his head, but none of it is correct.
The heaven sent a calamity after he curses the person behind his strange fate, however how could the System be the one to send the Lightning when it is as unresponsive as the heaven above? The moment he curse the person behind his terrible fate, the heaven itself sent thunder and lightning down to punish him.

Zheng Jie does not understand, but he believes that everything has a cause. Looking at the faraway lightning, only worries fill his heart.
"Fairy Yijun: What are you talking about, you bastard Zheng Jie?"
At that moment someone completely unrelated interrupt the discussion.
...
"Eh? Fairy Yijun. What relationship does she have with this sect master?"
Yating who was reading the chat mutters.
On the other side of the mansion, her uncle Xingyue was listening. He has been listening for a few days trying to find any strange happening, but there was nothing, except for that girl doing strange thing in her room. But it's a lady room so he cannot be that discourteous, but now finally something happens.
"Fairy Yijun? Sect Master?... So it was really a cultivator who is behind this. Very well, let your father here see which one of you has the gut to touch my little niece."
With a fist, Lei Xingyue crushes the tea cup made from mysterious jade next to him into nothingness.
"Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Zheng Jie..." Yating continues to read the screen.
At that moment, Lei Xingue on the other side of the mansion almost spits out blood.
"Z-Zheng Jie? That Zheng Jie?" That Heavenly Saint, who is as difficult to meet as climbing toward the heaven? That Zheng Jie who if Lei Xingyue back then has begged for assistance then things may have changed? That Zheng Jie who is friend with the most important person in the whole Nine Cloud Kingdome right now? That Zheng Jie?
And more importantly, Lei Xingyue's niece even reads the man's title accurately. Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
There may be many "Heavenly Sword Sect" in the Nine Cloud Kingdom due to them opening branch sects everywhere. There is also many "sect master", but there is only one Zheng Jie who the sect master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Zheng Jie who in this heaven and earth has always gone by that name.
With a handkerchief, Lei Xingyue tries to wipe his mouth
"Where did she heard that name? It is a name I haven't heard in a long long time..."
"Bastard Zheng Jie?..." At that moment Yating continues to mutter in her room, dealing critical damage to her uncle on the other side of the mansion.
At that moment, Fang Yijun does not fear death.
"Fairy Yijun: Damn you. I have been waiting a long time for this. Do you know what happened to me after listening to your advice? Do you know how horrible your sect is?!"
Fairy Yijun does not fear death.

Cheep!?
Charles Monroe survived the disappearance of his parents, did his best to hold things together for himself and his sister. He survived when she, too, vanished, leaving behind nothing but a cryptic note. He was devastated, but he kept moving forward as best he could. Cancer didn’t put him down, and after suffering through several rounds of chemotherapy, Charles Monroe thought that things might finally be looking up. That is, until a virulent strain of ebola swept through the city. With his immune system strained as it is, the odds don’t look good for Charles. Now, on the bridge between life and death, he hears a voice claiming to know where his family went. It claims that it needs his help and that it can give him a second life, one far away from all the pain he’s ever known. So, Charles answers as any reasonable person would. He says no. Charles isn't ready or willing to die yet. But, as with everything else to this point, even his choice to keep fighting is taken from him all too soon. With no other option but the dark oblivion of death, Charles chooses to make a deal with the spirit of a distant world that's seeking a wild card in its battle against the gods, monsters, and mortals that threaten its existence. Someday, he’ll find where his family went. Someday, he’ll uphold his end of the bargain and hunt beings powerful beyond anything he’s ever known. Someday, he might even – hatch? “CHEEP!?” Things to Know: -Cheep!? Will release on a minimum weekly schedule. -After a backlog of chapters, posting will slow, but in the interim you can expect a chapter a day up until roughly 25 chapters. -This story at times will potentially carry some heavy moments, but the tone is intended to be lighter overall. -There are invisible game-like elements in this story, but nothing so concrete as a dedicated gamelit novel. -I personally have some issues with anxiety, so I may or may not interact with the community a lot. I'll try if anyone has questions, but I can't guarantee that it'll be consistent. -MC is a non-human lead, and will never actually become human. Romance will potentially happen between side-characters, but not with the MC. -MC IS NOT THE ONLY VIEW POINT. I have to put that out there because people sometimes hate alternate PoV's in a story. None of them will be filler, and they'll be there only to give a little bit more nuance and meaning to the world that the MC has stepped in, or is about to be imminently important. I'll try to keep them down, but this also helps to prevent me from burning out getting trapped in one view. -Most of all, I hope that this story is enjoyable to you, and that you have a great time reading it! -Written by Michael Adams, Cowritten/Edited by Summer Kent

Dark Matter
In the year 2023, scientists investigating the nature of dark matter caused a blackout throughout the entire world of Coranth. With this blackout came the appearance of supernatural and near-magical elemental abilities able to be wielded by all. By harnessing the dark matter in the environment, even ordinary humans now accessed powers that would have been deemed fantasy. These abilities include Wind, Fire, Lightning, Water, and Terra, being the five natural elements of which dark matter is absorbed by the planet itself. Additionally, the two moons orbiting Coranth offer the "Superior" elements of Dark and Light. The year is now 2041, and Dark Matter will follow the story of an adolescent boy named Raiden Sullivan in a dystopian future, 16 years old, eldest of 2, and son to Marcus Sullivan. Raiden is an intelligent young man belonging to a poor family with an absentee mother. He partakes in daily chores to cover living expenses after school and his home life is surrounded by his caring father and younger sister. In truth, this is my take on urban fantasy with slight LitRPG that keeps the "magic" elements somewhat scientific for a more realistic story. In using the dark matter surrounding our universe, humans can now harness elemental abilities as well as absorb dark matter from the beasts/monsters to further strengthen their abilities. For the most part, that'll be the main premise of the power system. Full transparency, this will be the first story I write and also the first story I publish, so please be patient with me. For some context, I'm an avid reader and after 4 or so years of only consuming, I feel that it might be time to try my hand at writing instead. Please feel free to add your opinions and criticism, it would be much appreciated. With that said, I hope you enjoy Dark Matter!
