Year 1036 of the Zhang Dynasty - Unnamed plains - Underground
We reached our destiny, but I was tired.
[You should sleep before coming out]
“Did we stop?“ Yue
“Yes, this is the place I was going“ Linjian
“Are we going to battle the spiritual creatures outside?“ Tang
“Not now, I need to be at full strength before doing so“ Linjian
[Better safe than sorry]
“I will sleep now, Tang take this time to get used to your new body and Yue go to sleep to recover your MP“ Linjian
“Yes, Master“ Yue
“Yes, Master Linjian“ Tang
I created an air hole to not suffocate and went to the bed.
(Good night Maria)
[Good night Linjian]

After we came out of the Underground, I used Life Detection to search for spiritual creatures.
[Bronze and Silver Ranks...we are going to be fine here]
(How should I train them? Tang may be able to defeat a Bronze rank spiritual creature but Yue will not)
[You will have to stop their movements and let her finish them, she will get less experience but it is safer that way]
(She will need a weapon)
[Something with a wide range would be better]
I put the palm of my hand in the ground and think in a simple steel spear of one head.

[30 MP CONSUMED]
“Yue, take this“ Linjian
“A spear? I don't know how to use it“ Yue
“Until you are able of fighting by yourself I will cover you, so don't worry“ Linjian
“I will do my best!“ Yue
[She got the spirit]
“Tang do you have experience hunting spiritual creatures?“
“No, I don't“ Tang
He answered honestly.
“In that case we will go together and I will decide who will fight with what, are you alright with that?“ Linjian
“Yes, Master“ Yue
“Yes, Master Linjian“ Tang
[Yes, Master]
(...is it funny?)
[Very much]
......
...
At the end of the day Yue killed three Bronze spiritual creatures, Tang four and I killed two silver ranked.
[This place is filled with them]
(If they try to get inside, that may become a trouble)
[Maybe we can do something about it]
(We can?)
[Yes, the mana power and the spiritual power are completely different energies and that could help us now]
(Are you implying that they will repel each other?)
[Exactly, if you modify your Mana Stones you may be able to create a repellent for Spiritual creatures]
(It is that easy?)
[It is only that easy for you, remember that only you can manipulate mana]
(With the Page of Enlightenment, that is only true for now)
It will really be useful in the future.
(Making repellents for Spiritual creatures will be a future project, right now I need to expand this bunker)
The Bedroom was too small for three people, so this time I make a rectangular bunker with six rooms and one corridor.
I made a new bed for everyone and furnished the rooms with plastic chairs and tables.
“Your abilities are amazing as ever“ Tang
“Lets call it a day, tomorrow we will be hunting Spiritual creatures again“ Linjian

...
While I Lay on my bed, Maria Talks to me.
[So, we are hunting again?]
(Yes and no)
[?]
(Before I was hunting to level up)
[And now?]
(I am creating a new home, a new settlement)
[A new settlement?]
Change isn't only destruction.
(Punching cultivators will not change anything, that will only prolong the existence of a society made for pride and power)
[...]
(I will show those monsters the true face of humanity)
[True face, huh]
She sounds skeptical.
(I know that people aren't all peace, but I also know that they aren't all pride)
[...]
(Strength isn't an end, it is a mean to protect. A father who kills his own children doesn't have any sense, any meaning)
This world without change for over five thousand years is proof of that.
[If a city lord came here...]
(That will not happen)
[How are you so sure?]
(They are too busy meditating to care about some commoner, the only way to find a city lord would be going to him)
After all, Strength is the only thing in their heads and while meditating they get stronger.
(This place will become the starting point for humans and the ending point to cultivators)
[...This may take a while]
I know.
(All my focus is on this, I don't care how much time it will cost)
I made a promise.

Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero (Update 09/19/21)
(Updated 09/19/21) Hello and welcome. If you made it this far and the book title sounds interesting, I'm hoping you'll read a few chapters. Here's a sample from chapter 1 of "Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero."Slowly starting to wake up, I become aware. It's like coming out of a fog.Head hurts.Body hurts.There's a conversation in the room. This isn't my bed. Someone is touching my arm. I crack my eyes to look. She doesn't notice. Is she praying for me? Her hands do feel good…do feel... Slipping back unconscious, my eyes slowly close. I didn't notice the soft green glow under Jenn’s hands.*******************"It does look like he saved them or at least stalled them long enough for us to get there." says the man dressed more like a park ranger than an officer of the law. "I did think he was part of it at first" he continues "but the evidence shows he wasn't there and they were certainly fighting on that back road where we found them""I don't care who he is." says a woman as she enters the room. "He saved and protected my Jenn. I will make sure there's not a mark or a scar on him before he leaves". As she continues the few steps over to the men speaking, even though dressed simply in common clothes, there is no doubt the race of elves is in her heritage. The grace and lines of her form. The elegance and lightness of her step. She glances at her daughter, still watching over the young man in the bed. "Do we know who he is yet?" she asks no one in particular."Not yet dear" a man in a white coat responds. A handsome middle-aged man. Fit, but not that of a fighter or ranger. "I asked Talon to bring another identification stone with him. I was hoping ours was just broke, but it's reading the same.""What do you think is wrong?" Talon asks."I'm thinking we just have to wait until he recovers. I have heard of cases where the stone didn't work. Powerful spells can hide or wipe a person clean. I doubt he's a spy or a criminal. Spells like that are just too high level if, they're used at all. My best guess is, there is just some disconnect with him being unconscious. When he wakes, we can ask him or use the stone again then."I find myself waking up in a hospital bed. The attending Doctor finds it odd that he cannot identify my class. An Officer says I’m a Hero for saving a girl from being kidnapped, but he’s asking too many questions for my liking. I know an accusing tone when I hear it. I don’t remember any of it and I need to find my way home.Author’s notes. Original work. First draft and update of chapters 1-16. Inspired by various fantasy games and books. Written with a focus on character development and interaction. Combat, progression, leveling, classes, but no numbers or stats. I’ll try to keep the language clean, PG-13, no smut. I’m in the US, writing in English. Almost fifty chapters are completed as I pen this introduction. I intend to complete this story or at least bring it to a proper ending. I have a destination in mind. I find as I write, doors and ideas open, while others close and are discarded. The tentative release schedule will be once a week. I'm new to creating. My apologies now while I learn. I have not settled on a book cover or artwork, still looking for something that fits. Registered & Protected #20VjeKDv2U6nynW6

Statless
Summary Alexander Weiss, an intelligent and slightly unusual man, always dreamt of becoming a mage. Sadly, reality is harsh and even his best efforts never allowed him to achieve his goal during his lifetime... or did they? One has to be careful what they wish for, lest they might live to see it fulfilled. Description Follow Alex, a man whose pursuit of magic could not even be stopped by his non-magical reality, going as far as to create it himself, only to encounter an unsurmountable obstacle shortly before achieving his lifes goal, denying him all access to these powers. His journey will take him through a miraculous world, full of wonders, magic and manic beasts trying to devour him! He will learn much about this world during his adventures, exploring individual aspects of the System and the various monsters that came from it... or did they? Strong points What you'll get from this novel is the following (read with overly enthusiastic salesman-voice) : • An ending! I'll complete it, no matter what. Well, not "no matter what", but as long as I don't unexpectedly end, this novel won't either! • Good grammar! Might not be perfect, but it's definitely good enough to not detract from the story in the slightest. I'll also fix any reported mistakes as soon as possible, be they grammatical, syntactical or just inconsistencies. • No plot-armor! Or plot-weapons! Or plot-... potions? And no plot-holes! If you see some, it's most likely information that is being witheld for future revelations! But in the (hopefully) very unlikely case of such a vile beast being encountered, please inform me immediately and I'll see to slaying it without grace! (Translation: If you see plot-holes, tell me and I'll fix them) • Logic! [Hidden : Spoilers][Hidden : More Spoilers] [Moved to Chapter [Hidden Spoiler]'s Author's Note] Marvelous, I know! • Blue Boxes! And maybe something more! • Sensible retroactive edits! Not to be confused with radioactive edits! You'll not have to re-read previous chapters, even if they get some major edits. If they were to receive new information, I'll add that very information to the newly released chapters too, in a reasonable way. • Realism! Shocking, I know! Especially considering the tag related to that and the point about "Logic!". This also means that the story will be... well, realistically depicting a pretty messed up world. Don't expect bunnies... at least not cute ones. • Relatively faster paced! No long and boring descriptions of irrelevant stuff. There will be some longer descriptions about important things, but that's gonna be necessary world- and/or character-building! • Short action! Might not be a plus for some, but you won't have to look at a whole (or, god forbit, multiple) chapter describing a fight against the same enemy... • Strategy and hard progression! It's a dog-eat-dog world! No grinding/power-creep! If you're up against three enemies of your level at once, you've already lost! • Understanding! It will be mostly about discovering the wonders of this new world and how it became like that, all while trying to survive. So there will be enough action nonetheless! • Humor! Sometimes dark, sometimes light, always at the worst moment! • Constructive critics, welcome! Destructive critics, nope... I can handle criticism though, so don't go easy on me! Just make sure it's really a mistake when complaining about something. • Will add more in the future! If I can think of more stuff...
