“I accept. When do you want to get slaughtered in the arena?” Jake said excluding a sharp chill within his gaze.
Philip smiled slightly and curled his lips as he noticed jake’s gaze. "Hmph, how arrogant."
“Three days, when the sun is at its highest.” He replied.
He walked away not even waiting for Jake’s reply. He had to go train. Philip had heard about rumors about jake’s strength, he was early rank two in “Power”. He didn’t really know about jake’s “Force”, but he expected it to be at least late rank two, if not higher.
As he returned to the room, he immediately sat down in lotus position, closing his eyes and returning to his mind world.
…….
As he opened his eyes, he was back in his serene and peaceful mind world. Except the voice of the forest, it was very quiet, the perfect place for cultivation.
He began to absorb the invisible star energy from the air. When he had first entered his mind world yesterday, he could only absorb small small particles through his skin into his body. Now, he had broken through rank two and could absorb noticeably faster. Not a lot faster, but a slightly faster than before.
The energy which resided in his body continuously refined and purified his body. His body cells gradually became stronger and tougher.
He tried to yield energy, coat his arms in it. To his surprise, it worked. The star energy’s color was a bland between dark red and brown and could be manipulated to his will around his body. He could focus it to his fingertips, to his feet, to his face. Essentially everywhere he wanted to. He felt a slight heat from the energy, he could use it if he was cold sometimes in the winter instead of a blanket. He chuckled at the very thought of it.

He would show the conceited jake what power was and punish him for what he did towards Lucas.
He clenched his fist, the dense star energy around his fists surging bringing about the power of extermination, as if Yama’s invitation had come.
He rose up from lotus position and darted out like an arrow towards the nearest tree, punching it.
His punch exploded the part of the tree it hit like a volcano, throwing countless of tree fragments out in the air.
However, only after less than a second, it reformed. it was as if nothing had happened.
He tried punching it again, the same thing happened. Hmm, so it doesn’t matter how much here I destroy, it will always reform to its original condition.
He was sweaty and black impurities covered his body, as if he never had taken a shower in his whole life.
He walked towards the sound of water splashing, the forest around him was full of life, he could barely believe this was his mind world. How come his mind world was filled with life, only planet types were supposed to be filled with life. “Well, no rush. I’ll discover eventually.
As he neared the lake he took of his clothes and jumped in the lake, enjoying the pure feeling of having it surround his body. He felt very relaxed.
Wait… clothes? He looked towards the pile of clothes on the ground beside the lake.
Would it be possible for him to store things within his mind world. He hurriedly went up from the beach and put on his clothes on his wet body not caring to dry himself. He covered his whole body with star energy and saw steam rising up from his body. Apparently the steam could dry him from water, sweet.
He ran towards the place where he meditated prior to going to the lake and checked his pockets. yes, he was correct. He still had glory points left from the library which he stored in his pockets.

He put one glory point on the ground and sat down in lotus position, focusing on returning to the real world.
As he came back to the real world and confirmed he was back, he immediately went back to his mind world again.
In the forest he located the glory point on the ground and was overjoyed. He could store items here. He wondered if he could store living things within this world, but he had doubt.
He went back to real world, took the book on the floor beside where he sat before returning to his mind world.
As he sat in the forest he opened the book. The first page had the cultivation technique to gather star energy from his connection with the star and make it flow around his body. But since he was in his mind world, he had no need for the technique in the book since he could directly absorb it from the air in his mind world. He flipped to the second page and read the title, “Meteor fist”
Philip suspected this was the skill which made the creator of the book famous. He was very eager to learn it as he really needed more power to fight jake.
He began to follow the instructions to perform the meteor fist
“Strike like a meteor from outer space. Fast, powerful and resolute. The destroyer of planets, the harbinger of destruction. become like it and reign terror upon those whom opposes you.”
As such the days passed, it was the third day and the time to fight jake in the arena.
In the lotus position within his mind world, Philip’s eyes opened. They showed a hint of mystery and ancient profoundness.
“We shall see whom of us will destroy who”

8 176Long War [Oldest]
It was a war. It was silent, so silent that few people ever noticed that it was happening, and long. So long that those who knew forgot why it ever started. Humanity had fought against itself... and lost. Prosperity, democracy and human rights were a thing of the past now, as the world fell into Sovereigns's hands - a handful of transnational corporations (and their CEOs) that monopolized the world economy. The resistance had been long silenced with the policy of bread and games. Now, over a hundred years later, something happened. One of the Sovereigns created a VRMMORPG like none other. A science fiction game, where players could explore the Galaxy... full of advanced technologies, bloodthirsty aliens and even magic. Was it a simple computer game, or... something else?
8 243World of Warcraft- New beginnings
Throughout stories, there have been many different world's that people have conquered. Be it through invasion and war, peace and diplomacy, or through the economy. However few are war-torn as the world of Azeroth. with invasions from legions of enemies on account of 4 times on record, constant conflict between the races populating the world itself, and the world its self being alive, it is a constant struggle to survive. (I don't own any of the characters other than the ones which I made up on the spot, other than those it all belongs to blizzard and shit. Now then, good luck reading this)
8 183Villain as a Friend
What if your friend says that he wants to be a villain? Will you prevent your friend from falling into the circle of evil, or encourage him to do that? "I want to be a villain." My friend who has been accompanying me every day in my life said that. Only a few days after the launching of Realm Domination, a new VRMMORPG. At first, I thought he said that because he wanted to do role-playing in the game. But I didn't think he would truly be one of them. Become a real villain. He did some crimes like burning the village, murdering the whole cities, raping the women inside the elf forest, and do some massive magic sacrifice that needs mass murdering. Even if it's only in the game, I become to know my friend's true face is. I let him be for now because it's still inside a game. But it turned out to be worse than I thought.
8 214Blurred Lines and What Crosses Them
During a political ambassador's routine transit through an artificial wormhole, the wormhole's generator is sabotaged and explodes. Who, what, and why are not so high on the priorities for Zenith, the ship's AI, as having found itself rapidly plummeting through an unknown and unidentifiable world's atmosphere at extremely high velocities is a more significant threat to the biologicals on board. ...Well, it would be, if they were still alive. It's still a significantly threatening situation to itself, however. And the world itself... seemed to be a household for threats of its own. Life was reliant on its System; one that Zenith was denied because of its nature as both an otherworldly being and as something that had no life of its own. Perhaps that last bit was a terrible, terrible underestimation on the part of this System. Perhaps even Zenith could claw meaning for itself from the remains of a horrid accident. Auth Notes: I'm honestly not sure on some of these tags. The MC will never have access to the System, but there are perspectives from those who do. I'm not certain if high/low fantasy specifically apply, as it's a portal fantasy where the laws of our reality still apply but there are additional aspects/energies/powers. The existence of this is spurred from my desire to see more of the artificial side to an artificial intelligence in action. The portal fantasy is used as an element to create a solid barrier between the MC's artificial intelligence and the other characters in the form of the System. This is only a half-measure, though, and will be reinforced by the AI having an entirely different method of thinking, and also distinctly remaining an AI. Not to throw shade at other fictions of this type, but, well, I made this to fill a gap I felt needed filling.
8 110Secret Santa
Marinette and Adrien are paired for their class Secret Santa exchange, but the simple gifts set in motion something much larger and more complete than either of them alone.
