《Harmony: An Assassins Tale》Chapter 6 : The Mysterious Man's Strength?
Advertisement
As I charged to tackle the mysterious man, he dodged it with ease and stood there waiting for the next attack. For the next 10 minutes it seemed as though he wasn't trying to attack me rather simply dodging my attacks at him. "Come on you old man! Are you to scared to fight back? Do you really think I would go easy on you for being old?" I said, taunting him to attack. When I charged again, he said, " I will not attack because I do not need to. You will lose all your stamina before I even need to attack, and I'm not that old, you little squirt." This time I decided to call out my Soul Emifer, as I know that there is no time limit. When I called it out, I learned a few tricks about how to use it and I split the rock into 8 pieces, afterwards I shaped each of those pieces into different shapes, one was a gun, another was a sword, another hammer, a pickaxe, an axe, a shovel, and two more swords.
With those 8 items, I firstly through a shovel at him. Afterwards I supposed to the three possible places he could dodge it and sent the pickaxe and hammer. Afterwards when he went to the spot I wanted, I cut the tree around that area, then I would corner him with the swords and send the final blow via gun. Atleast I thought it was foolproof. The plan worked up until i shot him, when he simply dodged it all by jumping up and to the side. "Well done, sonny! If that was any other person in the entire planet, they would have died, consider yourself unlucky! I suppose I better attack now!"
When he came to attack, his fists were like bullets, I couldn't see them but there was one single problem I was facing. The fact that it didnt hurt me at all, it felt like a baby trying to knock down an adult. "Really, old man? You are this weak?" I said, and he laughed , saying, " Oh, but I didn't even hit you once, because I know that it would have killed you, if you want to see my strength, come at me, and I'll knock you out with a flick." he said, taunting me this time. I knew that was physically impossible unless you're some monster, but I didn't care, I went for the punch, and hell if I was to know, that single flick actually did send me flying. when I hit the fence, i coughed out some blood, saying, "Dammit, why.. am... I.... so.... weak."

After that I was taken to the Mysterious Man's House and he healed my wound. "First of all, I have a name, but since it is classified, simply call me Sensei from now on." When he came to heal me, it happened pretty instantly, and I thought what could his SE be? Is it healing, jumping, insane strength, just what could it be?! After healing my wound, he told me that the next day we will start our training. I was partially excited and partially down for it. I still had no clue where Hartsen~Sensei was and where the hell I was.I asked him where we are and he said, "We are in China, where most 'Kung Fu' masters where born. To be honest, Kung Fu was a means of hiding the identity of Soul Emifers to this world, and 'Kung Fu' was meant to destroy the spirits, but that aside, let us start our training!"
The first thing he told me was to go the the great wall and run all the way around it. "No way, That's impossible! No human could do that." And then Sensei told me, "If I'm not back here within 10 minutes, then consider me dead." and with that he ran, he ran like a beast. After 8 minutes there was still no sign of him and I was getting bored, so I decided to summon my Soul Emifer and try to strengthen it in a few ways, but mainly to increase my control on the weapons I create. Sure enough the moment the clock hit 10 minutes, he was there, and with a few bags of stuff. "Damn, I was here by 5 minutes, but since I said 10 I decided to buy us some food and snacks. Anyways, do you understand the capability of your SE? You just need to try."

I felt a bit encouraged so I decided to run around as well, and he proprosed the same deal, "If you come here by 10 minutes, I will teach you everything I mastered, elsewise your training will get more intense from the day onward." and with that I ran off, as fast as I could. I continued running and running around to see how far I will go, but it didn't seem like I was going anywhere, but I continued on running. My feet where aching and I couldn't tell where I was. Finally, when I met Sensei he told me two things. "First of all, its been 3 hours, and second of all for an entire loop there would have been atleast more than 3~4 hours for you, so I decided to make it easier." Before hearing his explanation I dropped down on the stone and fainted.
When I woke up, it was Sensei and he said, "Wakey Wakey! Your wounds are fixed and your stamina is back, time for some more intense training!" With that he took me to the backyard and told me to dig. To dig until you see stone, and then break the stone with your hand. "Your training will end when I see a piece of stone on your hand and your knuckles bleeding." With that we both started pummeling the ground. Sure enough, both of us got to the dirt, and with one massive punch, Sensei broke a massive hole into the ground, making a miniature ravine. I to, tried to do that but with no avail. Then he told me, "For the next 2 weeks, we will continue these two types of training, and when the time comes, after two weeks you will see how much stronger you are." With that I started my training for the next two weeks and I was ready to become stronger than before. I walked to Sensei's house, ready to endure the suffering of the next 2 weeks.

Falling from Earth
He won. He defeated Fate. He took his life into his own hands, the only way he knew how. He killed himself. ......................... He cheated. Fate cheated too. He didnt die. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm a amateur writer. English is my first language. I appreciate it when people point out grammar issues. I also appreciate constructive critiques. I'm writing this mostly because I've read so many novels on here that i feel that I should give back to the community. Will be at least a chapter a week. Every Friday. I keep a buffer of 3 chapters, so if i get on a roll and write more chapters, there will be more updates. My chapters will be at least 3000 words, prologue excluded. I'm shooting for more like 6000 words a chapter, mostly because i never like how small the chapters are in most novels on here. Not enough MEAT. Oh and comments that touch my heart get me excited to write. Just figured that out.

Papercuts to Fell Immortals
Qing Shen is a girl from the counrtyside, forced into a role she never wanted by a Young Master who's infamy is spread throughout the land. As a Cultivator in the path to immortality, Qing Shen has to deal with her own problems as well as the mysteries surrounding her Young Master. Things, however, are not as they seem, and the young girl finds that sometimes the truth is more unbelievable than the lies we often follow. . . . If you want a less hidden-meaning summary: This story is about the struggles of one girl as she tries to become an Immortal. There won't be any meaningful romance, but there will be a plot that spans most of the story, and violence. Oh the violence! I'm not going to say that my ideas are 100% original (because hoo boy are there a lot of Wuxia), but hopefully I can write something entertaining. Guaranteed things: 1. Cliche events with a twist (I mean, it's literally in the description) 2. Important Characters will have backstories and motivations that will hopefully make them not one-dimensional (honestly, that's just normal stuff...) 3. Untrustworthy characters (everyone in the story lies, even me, so don't trust everything you read... but at the same time, trust everything you read) 4. Goodish grammar (not gonna say mine's the best, but it's readable in most cases) 5. Plot! (Everywhere!) 6. worldbuilding? (Should be there somewhere, but I probably won't do blatant info dumps... probably) 7. Character development? (Its there... at some point...) 8. The story gets dark at some points (if you don't like characters dying, then this might not be your cup of tea) 9. A strong main character? (She'll be strong, yes. However, her enemies are also strong. If everyone is strong, then is she no longer strong? My brain hurts) 10. Wow, this list is going on for awhile... uh, Believable and reasonable Action? (I mean, I'm writing for mainly my fun, so if I want a fight scene, then I might craft a scenario to explain it... or I might suddenly throw in a Dragon and call it a day) This story also goes by the same name over on Webnovel.com, but I'm going to be updating it here because, well I want to. They are both by me, and created by me. If there's anything that seems like a copy of another work, then that's just the genre being saturated by everything under the sun.
