"Do you think, they will change the exam?" A chubby youth ask the Asian girl beside him.
"Nope, teacher delayed the exam because of someone, you idiot. How could you attend this school if you are this dumb?" The Asian girl with black eyes, black hair, and sharp nose purse her lips with disdain.
"Sorry, Li Xiao Er, I didn't realize at first but after you mention it. I now know the reason why our teacher delayed the exam, I am jealous of how that kid deserve this, isn't only a waste of time?" The chubby youth also have a black hair, and eyes similar to the girl beside him, he was also an Asian youth.
"Fan Guoli, don't look down on others or else it will backfire on you. Stick with the lecture of Confucius 'Don't do unto what you don't want to be done unto you' that our Master taught to us, and furthermore that Jack is not simple at all." Li Xiao Er pursed her lips.
"Eh? Did you sense something from him, Xiao Er?" Fan Guoli exclaimed.
"Yes, my sense told me that he was a dangerous person." LI Xiao Er grips a talisman that she always took with her whenever she goes out. Her family belongs to the Onmyoji, so Li Xiao Er sixth sense was above average as she can see what others couldn't see.
"Goodmorning, are you all ready for the exam?" While the two were deep in thought, Tricia's voice wakes them from their trance. She surveyed the classroom as she notices that 3 of the seat are empty. She gritted her teeth in anger when she realizes that Jack and Romnick who she was worried the most are missing.
While she was surprised that Arvin was also missing, but the anger won over her surprise as she had the urge to shout their name.
"Damn you Romnick this is your fault;" Arvin complained as he entered the class.
"Ehe, you stupid cunt, you dare to blame me? I only help a person in distressed, while you tag along, that's not my fault."

"Tsk, if you get rid of that asshole immediately, but not only you didn't end it quickly. You even played with that asshole while making fun of him, what happened in the end, he runs with the bag of your person is distressed. So we ended up chasing him in the opposite direction of the school, tell me if you are not an idiot or else?"
Arvin and Romnick glared at each other, ready to lash out to fight. Jack look at the two with a helpless expression and notice Tricia with a smile on her face, looking at it, he shivered and sat on his seat.
"So are you guys want to take the exam or not?" A cold voice entered Arvin and Romnick ears as they shivered unconsciously.
Looking at the smiling face of their teacher cold sweat flowed to their cheek as they frost at their place. "T..teacher."
"You two meet me in the teacher's faculty later, take a seat don't waste my time."
"YES." They hurriedly took their sit while wiping their sweat.
"And you too Jack, don't think that I didn't notice you sneak while those two were causing a commotion."
Jack helplessly nod his head.
"So guys I will explain the rules of the exam, per subject will have a duration of 30mins. You are elite from all over the country, so you know what it means to be an elite, unlike to the other school they will have a 1hour of duration during the exam. But that not the case for all of you, this is not the same as the entrance exam, so you guys have to be serious about this."
"So you read the rules of the school, right?" Tricia said with a solemn expression.
"All of you need to get a 95% of the exam to pass if you got below the passing mark it's means that you fail, this is how harsh the school is. Also, all of you are aware that continuous failure is expulsion from the school, cheating is also prohibited so don't do anything that will damage your future."

"I have all of the exams on your every subject." Tricia distributed the papers from all of the students and sat on the front as she monitors the whole classroom.
"No break until the examination is done so it will be finished, after the lunch break. So good luck class." With that, the exam started.
All of the students were happily answering their papers while on the other side, a chubby student named Fan Guoli took a talisman as he put it on his lips while muttering in a low voice. Tricia notices Fan Guoli, but she didn't stop him, because she thought that he was praying.
Li Xiao Er silently shook her head. "Fatty Fan, you will eventually encounter bad luck, if you keep on doing that."
When Fan Guoli is finished chanting, a mist figure formed floating beside his back while putting the talisman inside his pocket.
'Master, what is your order?' When he heard the spirit, Fan Guoli smiled happily, as he ordered the ghost to go behind Arvin and look for his paper. An image appeared on his mind, as he seriously copied everything from Arvin.
"Being a person to control a spirit was convenient in many ways." When he thought, how he became Onmyoji, he was grateful that his father took him to that place. At first, he wants to go home when he saw how many ghosts suddenly appeared as he holds a summoning talisman. But after knowing their uses, a smile appeared on his face as he thought of himself as a genius.
Well, the temple of Onmyoji who practice the extermination and the uses of the spirit also thought that Fan Guoli was a genius for summoning so many ghosts. So being praised made him a little arrogant, and did as he pleases. The priest and other apprentice were having a headache with this disciple, so they decided to send him to this school.
Fan Guoli was also a lazy person he didn't do anything to himself as he ordered the spirit he summoned to cheat on his entrance exam. While he was not the 1st, he got one of the top ten position and enjoyed the praises of his classmate.
Jack who was busy on his exam, suddenly felt cold, so he turned his head and saw a ghost silently floating behind Arvin.
Using his psychic force, he caged the ghost with his psychic energy and spread his hand as he slowly clenches it into a fist. It releases his last cry as he turned to light energy dispersing to the nothingness, Fan Guoli covered his ears as the ghost cries echoed within his mind.
He gasps and suddenly felt the talisman on pocket turned to ash. Fan Guoli face turned pale, as he experiences the death of his spirit. 'The fuck, is that the rebound of a contract ghost after dying?"
When the ghost he contracted with died, he also felt being crush to death with that unknown force. He looks at the remaining talisman in his pocket as he trembled, he didn't want to experience that again. But at this rate, he will fail the exam, so he gritted his teeth and took a talisman and chanted.
Jack frown as he noticed that another spirit appeared behind Arvin, so he crushes it again with his psychic power. Fan Guoli fat face was drench in sweat, experiencing death again made him hesitate to use another talisman. But looking at his exam, he gritted his teeth with determination.
While the class was silent from their exam, one of the students keep on summoning while the other one keeps on crushing. This cycle continued, until the end of the examination.

Ogre Tyrant
Tim wakes up to find he is naked and alone in a fantasy world. However, he is not as alone as he first thought. There are other people running around all over the place fighting monsters for a living. Unfortunately for Tim, he seems to be one of those monsters. Desperate for any degree of safety and normalcy he can find, Tim must tread a fine line between freedom and subservience to survive. All while trying to keep alive a trio of adventurers hellbent on becoming legends. However, unfortunately for Tim, he is not the only one from earth to awaken in this world and the other Awakened aren't nearly so benevolent. Warning: The protagonist begins the story quite cowed and meek but progresses into a more assertive and situationally dominant personality. This is partly due to growth, but also a result of the character overcoming initial shock and longstanding depression. If you think I could have handled a segment better, by all means, point it out and provide your reasoning and suggestion. Everyone's experience of depression is different, and Tim's is a close representation of my own, so it won't necessarily 'vibe' with everyone. Chapters are around 15k words and released approx 1/week over the weekend. Has been reduced to around 7.5k to 9k to better fit my schedule.[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

We’ve all been hurt by those hateful devourers. We’ve all lost loved ones. But no more. No more, I say! Together we unite and make our arduous journey to the dreadful Shattered Suns—the home of our enemy.

8 95Soul Core Online
Soul Core Online was a game that few people were interested in until after it was released, due to its odd way of handling character growth but this soon changed as people started to realise just how different this game was. Unlike many of its predecessors the NPCs in Soul Core Online acted in a way that was indistinguishable from real people and the world felt alive because of this instead of the empty and sterile cities we had come to expect, even walking down the street could give you insights to how these people lived. In my case this was the world that I had always wanted to visit and I soon found myself embroiled in the constantly changing world that is Soul Core Online. This story is currently only available here on Royal Road or on my Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/bkwrm196/posts?filters%5Btag%5D=Soul%20Core%20Online
