《The Great Ancestor》Your Ancestor is here!
Advertisement
Both came out of the gloomy tombs after a minute. Ancestor Lan saw this place for first time. He saw the buildings were made in middle age fashion with slanted rooftops probably to sustain heavy rain. Sun was shining brightly on top. He saw a high wall surrounding the area fully with guards loitering around it. This atmosphere brightened up, his already bright mood.
'Wall is must for the good base. Wall is must.' He remembered his great loss is age of empire solely due to single broken wall.
As he followed lead of Situ Rin whose head was stretched so high that, now he was worried it will break anytime soon. As they reached the big building clearly like one shown in Ancient Chinese movies back on Earth.
Guards noticed an aloof figure marching in through the family main hall with hands behind his back occasionally speaking few words with long necked girl wait...the neck was just stretched; aloof skinny figure and quickly ran to stop them.
Aloof or not they had to do their duty. Clearly they didn't recognize skinny ancestor of theirs and were wondering how the duo passed through the main family gate. They yelled to stop them with signs of fear on their face,
"Stop there! This is Situ Family mansion. Outsiders are not allowed. Return the way you came. "
Last line was clearly a way out so they do not need to fight. Guards were aware that anyone who comes through the Main Gate will be accompanied by Main Gate Guards, if anyone is without them that clearly mean that he or she is trespassing, and now this old guy was marching like it was his home, means he had finished everyone on Main Gate. So no way they were no match for him as Main Gate Guards were elite among them.
Ancestor Lan was clearly unaware of all it as he come from tomb which was already in the family compound, and Situ Rin was not well known either leading to this situation; as none of the books or gossipy old ladies told her these things.
Ancestor Lan stopped and was thinking how this situation was similar to normal face smacking scenes in many novels he read on the Earth back then and was little happy. He had free chance to curse so he replied with dignified voice,
" Your Ancestor here wants to meet everyone in family. Assemble them in this hall in front of me in next 2 hours. "
After saying this he released pressure using his Qi which he got familiar with while walking here. He turned to Situ Rin and said,
"Lad Rin send someone to bring me some food."
He headed in the hall thinking about how he had not eaten anything in last few years. Even though it was not needed, the thought that he had not eaten is enough to make him hungry as hell, Two hours' time was for especially for this. Never start game without full stomach. That was code to live by.

Now Ancestor Lan( Lan) was sitting on main seat in hall, stroking his beard while waiting for the food. Guards were standing few feet away near the pillar occasionally stealing few glances at the Ancestor.
Due to previous display of power they do not dare to question whether he was really their ancestor or not? They care for their life more than that. Now they were waiting for the family head while keeping close watch on this person. Close watch in the sense if he did anything funny, they can hightail as fast as can.
Lan was wondering,
'Now that everything is same as other transcended person's novel like on back on Earth, shouldn't I get powerful system? System must be there. I must figure out how to activate it. That must be it.'
Like that he started shouting 'SYSTEM START', 'START BOOTING', 'COME OUT SYSTEM' in his mind.
Why not out loud? That is common sense if you read web novels.
After shouting for while with no result he started pondering on it. It was then suddenly he found himself in front of counter. He can only see the counter in front of him, a metallic figure behind it. The figure behind the counter was similar to the robots from comics back on Earth, Old comic. Old is keyword here. Without any expression or anything on square face, round eyes like camera lens, small mesh at the place of mouth probably speaker. There was scroll on the counter with points written on it. He can't see anything behind the robot other than darkness.
Lan found out that he was not able to move nor he was able to sense his body. After a second of confusion he was overjoyed,
'This must be it. My system, HA HA HA!'
While he was laughing inside, he heard metallic sound in front of him,
"What you want to buy?"
Lan as smart as he was, he quickly started thinking,
'This robot is giving me something awesome as startup reward. I must ask something good or later I will regret it.'
Due to his motto to grab as much profit as possible in any situation, Lan replied,
"Give me most powerful superpower in this world."
Robot replied without pausing,
"Only items in the worlds you visit or have been can be bought."
Robotic voice was devoid of any emotion.
Lan was disappointed still he tried to seek some comfort by buying a gun.
"Give me most powerful gun."
After few second of whirling sounds robotic voice replied,
< Improvising…..
Synchronizing with current Body….
Body cultivation exceeded the starting limit…..
Generating solution...
Solution Generated!
1. Host cannot kill any living being.
2. System store items cannot be used to harm any living being.

BAN will be permanently applied for current world of Inzar.
>
Now Lan was flabbergasted. He was regretting accessing system. If he did not wake up the system. The entire ban thing would not have happened. But now he cannot kill anything. But being smart and cunning, he felt little relieved. He never killed anything in his last life, not even chicken. He may have boasted about burning heaven, but actual killing was always different. Now he can harm anybody without fear of killing.
'Hu hu,' Lan was very satisfied with his positive thinking. Then he remembered that by killing, the protagonist gains experience to level up. Now that I cannot kill, won't I be stuck at the same cultivation level? Just before he can ask, robotic voice replied.
"Host can buy items from shop and can increase the cultivation level by using Fame points. Fame Points are points which are shown on scroll here. When a person come to know your identity, whether it may be a false identity or true one or he is referring to you in any way you will get one Fame point daily until the person in question forgets about you. Currently you have 33 Fame Points."
Robot was now explaining as much as possible.
Lan heaved sigh of relief, he can make progress in cultivation. Now he was sure that he can leave this world quickly and start completing his 'To Take Revenge' List. He did not forget that he cannot kill only in this world, if he leaves this place he can do as he wants.
He mentally praised his mommy for giving birth to such genius son. Still he felt sad that he did not get anything for free. Just then robot quipped,
"Congratulations Host for accessing system for first time. You are given special skill Status. You can view Information about anything you wish.
Status will be applied to living beings. Consent of opposite party will be required to view their
status.
>
Lan was neither sad nor happy. Anything he got for free is good. But he was not sure that this damn robot can read his mind. Still he asked one doubt out loud,
"Oh! Main thing; how to enter this place? I tried many things before entering; I was not able to enter."
Robot replied,
< From now on whenever you think about it you can enter this place in instant."
>
With current affairs being so shocking, he felt need to transfer some tension to other people. Lan returned to his body with few candies in his hand.
After returning he found out that, time was not passed at all.
'So that means when I am entering in that place, that does not affect this world. And by the look of guards my body was also here. That's sad; I cannot hide there during emergencies.'
After few minutes of chewing on candies he bought from system, Situ Rin returned with plates of food. He grabbed other chair and placed a plate on it and started eating the seafood dishes. Why he was eating directly by hand? He was like this in his last world so he doesn't want to forget his roots and habits. Yes, it is all about being ground to earth; nothing about being lazy to use something else, And for washing hand? He doesn't think he can kill germs due to new ban. Yes, it was all system's fault. He was also worried he may catch disease due to that.
Robotic voice replied in his mind.
<"Host, your body will be automatically healed continuously to compensate for 'Kill-ME-Not Penalty'."
>
Lan kept praising his mom for her noble did.
Seeing the skinny old man grabbing plates after plate and munching on food guards were amused. By the look of it, now they can somewhat believe that the old man must be hungry ghost who crawled out from coffin. Situ Rin believed that this was due to generation gap and she will respect Ancestor's way of doing things. So she was now glaring at the guards who were stealing glances at Ancestor.
When Situ Rin was threatening last few guards with her glares, Lan finished eating.
After eating he distributed all the energy he got all around the body. His skinny body quickly bulged up.
'How I did it? Don't ask it was all instinct. Yeah.. Instinct is the keyword, like how tiger knows to bite and teenager knows to masturbate.'
Now he looked like any other old man in seventies. He bought rubber band from system and tied up his hair in ponytail. He also combed his long beard to produce pointy end with comb from system. He did not like buffed body, he again did some adjustment and become skinny like super strong old guys from novels and manga's, who has one paragraph of description about how wind can blow them and all. When he was thinking whether to purchase hair gel to shape his beard more properly, he heard footsteps outside of the hall.

P.A.R.A.D.O.X. PROJECT: Aeon Genesis
The first project focusing on four protagonists within the same world set around fictional 14th-century Europe.This is the first P.A.R.A.D.O.X. PROJECT focusing on 3 (+1) protagonists within the same world set around fictional 14th-century-esque Europe. Each story has its own protagonists (Male or Female Lead), genres (mainly Western Fantasy), and can be read as a standalone. Status: OngoingUpdate(s) per week: 1Words per chapter: 3000 - 6000 *** ‘A human or not; a king or a servant; hope or despair; a hero or a villain.’ Depending on one's perspective and how each story portrays, one will view an individual or a group as evil or virtuous. Because of that, it depends on the reader and listener to believe which one is the truth. More people read and trust multiple (trusted?) sources that either complement or contradict one another. The contradiction becomes the source of debates between those who believe and those who don’t. From that difference in belief, two groups appear: The Majority and The Minority. The majority, having more people, suppress the minorities’ beliefs, claiming theirs, the majorities’, to be the truth. However, the majority are not only composed solely of those who share the same belief but also those who know the truth but afraid to admit it. They have to keep quiet and turn a blind eye for their safety. The majority had to submit to those with power and authority. With the majority under control, those with power and authority can create, manipulate, and/or fabricate truth and lies by force. The reason was for one’s or group’s personal benefits. In the end, there is no such thing as ‘absolute truth’; only sugar-coated lies created by the top. Don’t believe me? It is up to you to decide. Go and read it yourself.

Transformers: Heroes
Heroic Decepticons Alternate Universe. A century ago, the eons-old war between the Autobots and the Decepticons suddenly and inexplicably came to an end. Since then, many have gone their separate ways, whilst others still hold onto the bitter memories of war. Now, as Autobots and Neutrals join forces in a new directive to capture every Decepticon still left alive, it appears that the Autobots will finally get their chance to even the score, and defeat their enemies once and for all. But when they become the target of seemingly random, yet terrifying attacks, some begin to realize that the enemy may be much closer to home than anyone could have ever imagined. Author's Notes: While it helps to have a little bit of prior knowledge about the world of Transformers, you don't need to be a Transformers fan to enjoy this story, or even a Decepticons fan! One thing I can say for sure is that it is unlike any Transformers fan fiction you've ever come across. This story aims to explore one possible set of motivations in depth in a setting of ongoing conflict between the Autobots (and, more recently, the Alliance - a collaboration between Autobots and Neutrals) and the Decepticons. Although this story takes a lot of things from the G1 cartoon, it is by no means strictly G1 toon oriented and introduces characters and/or ideas from other continuities (Sentinel Prime, Jhiaxus, Thunderblast and Rook (not the Autobot Rook - the other Rook!). Set primarily on Cybertron and Alternity City, it also deviates from certain key elements common in Transformers canon. For one thing, the general consensus that all Autobots are good and all Decepticons are bad is challenged, and a new meaning to the motivations behind their conflict is offered (which is a recurring theme in my Heroic Decepticons Alternate Universes). Some personalities have been altered from their canonical profiles as a necessity (Megatron being the most obvious example) and developed to a much deeper level than the original cartoon allowed. I hope you enjoy and thanks for reading.
