《Game of World's Heroes》Question 12 - Who are you?
Advertisement
Smells of medicinal drug spreading in this small white room, I who just arrive in my medical facility hear a sound from inside a room, Dana's voice. He opens the medical facility and treats some patients himself because of my lateness.
It can't be helped though. After her first loss, Yan nags me to redo the match a few times. Although I didn't use my bloodline in later matches, I still managed to win over her. She still has a long way to go to become a great cultivator.
She became depressed after losing to me consecutively. After I think about it again, it seems I got overboard myself. I need at least lose once to not crush her confidence, I'm the adult one here.
Well, I will buy her something to make her happy later, after all, I don't yet give her any gift after her breakthrough other than those cakes last nights.
"Maybe a bracelet or a doll," I mumble while thinking.
After I consider what gift I can give to Yan after this, I shift my attention to Dana's who checking his last patient today.
"Your crack bone is a bad one but not dangerous. However, you better to not use your left hand for a week, it will recovers within a week with your bloodline. Give this recipe in pharmacist, they will give you medicine to ease your pain," Dana says.
After hearing Dana's diagnosis, he seems dejected, a normal reaction for a farmer who can't work for a week in this fruitful season.
Well, nothing Dana can do about it, doctors aren't god who can heal everyone at will, we often encounter uncurable sickness and give the patients the bad news, their reaction is varied after hearing it -- denial, helplessness or even pure acceptance. We need to tell patients the truth from time to time, of course, some of them isn't a pleasant one -- after all that is one of doctors jobs.

Anyhow, this case is a mild one though.
The patients after dejected for a while he let out a little laugh, says it his time to rest for a while from farming and then thanking Dana for his diagnosis.
"Good work Dana," I say while bringing some cookies and milk for us after the patient left.
"Thank you," he says while taking one of the cookies in the plate.
We're drinking the milk and eating the cookies while talking about what happens when I didn't come yesterday. We talk leisurely, about the patients and Yan breakthrough.
"Hee, I didn't expect Yan already in the tenth level of Qi condensation," he says with amazement.
"I know right, she is a real genius in cultivation," I say proudly.
"Said a monster in cultivation himself," he jeers after hearing me boasting.
"Oh yeah, I nearly forgot about that," after saying that, he goes to another room and bring back a full stack of documents, "This is the result of research last month Vys."
"Oh, this fast."
I open the document one by one, looking at the data and analysis. The tip of my lips curled upwards. I feel elated after reading at the result, my hypothesis is proven true.
"Dana, can you step backward for like five steps," I instruct him.
I close my eyes, feeling abundant Qi around me. I purposely choose this place as my workplace because of Qi purity in this place. Therefore, I don't need to go to another place for what I do after this.
Cultivating is like building a home, to reach tall heights we need to make a solid foundation. Without a solid foundation, a cultivator to breakthrough will be smaller for each stage, the first foundation for every cultivator is Qi condensation stage. Therefore, many cultivators stay in the tenth level for many years, they refine their Qi to the upper limit and then attempting a major breakthrough to Foundation establishment stage.

Many factors that determine how long a cultivator stays in the tenth level like talent and meridians. However, this time I will attempt something that no one in this world did before. Well, maybe someone attempts it before but failed. Nevertheless, I will be the first one succeeded in doing it.
I activating my bloodline.
Qi gathering around me and then it flows into my body, it goes into all my bloodstreams and my Dantian. Slowly, Qi filling and reconstructing and strengthening all of my cells. While my body gets rebuild, the Qi is also refining my Dantian after each blood cycle inside my body.
Everything around me got pushed --chairs, tables, everything -- except for Qi which still flowing to my body, they swirl surging in my bloodstreams without a drop leaking outside my body, this situation can be achieved when someone did a perfect meditation and that situation exactly what I do now.
My body gets warmer in each cycle, but there no pain at all. I just feel a pleasant sensation when Qi flows inside my body. After a while, the process is finally complete and then I open my eyes looking at my hand, still experience warm feeling from earlier.
"Finally, I'm in the eleventh level."
Vys: … I am whom I chose to be. I am me.

The White Rabbit
In the Urillian Empire, the Empress Xandra rules three-quarters of the planet Xren from her home in the capital of the Earth Continent. Both the fire and water peoples have fallen under her might after a series of wars stretching back three centuries. Earth elves, under Xandra's rule, have spread throughout the planet and established colonies, and are, by all accounts, enjoying what seems to be a prosperous and happy existence. But not everyone in Uril is happy. The holy books speak of elves as the Chosen People of Thesis, tasked with guiding and protecting the lower races. For some people, this scripture has been interpreted to designate their life as one on the lowest rungs of society. Humans have been reduced to a slave class, and serve their elven masters under Xandra's rule, kept at bay by the constant fear of the dreaded Emerald Knight, and their own perceived weakness. Humans do not lead long lives, nor do they possess the wisdom, power, or magical acumen of their elven masters. But there is hope. A group of people have banded together to fight against Xandra, her Knight, and her empire. They call themselves the "Knights of Order" united under the principle idea that Xandra's reign has brought chaos unto Xren, and they wish to restore order. These Knights are led by a man named Xaxac Brigaddon, spoken of as a legend. They say that when the moons are full, some humans transform into powerful beasts. They say that Xaxac is the most powerful warrior on Xren, that in his youth he was enslaved and forced to fight other humans to the death in a bloodsport called "cage fighting", that he could not be touched and held the world championship title for three years running until he faked his own death and escaped his master to join the resistance. They say that he has friends in high places- noblemen, pirates, and the devil himself. They say that if you can find him, he can ferry you to freedom in places where the Earth Elves fear to tread. They say that he is immune to magical attack, and his eyes shine like the silver moon. They say that he is descended from Quizlivian Brigaddon, one of the humans who helped the demon Magnus escape a god. They say that if you want to walk the Path of Order, you should follow the White Rabbit.Come and watch the transformation from human boy to Knight of Order: The life and times of Xaxac OfAgalon OfLangil Brigaddon. Content Warning: This work is based on the real experiences of human trafficing survivors. Xaxac's origins are based on true events, and they are presented realisitcally; this includes but is not limited to: isolation, gaslighting, emotional and sexual abuse, and grooming tactics. This work is meant to hold a mirror up to society; it is based on the real of experiences of people who have experienced slavery and/or abuse. It is an adult work and probably should not be read by anyone under the age of 18. If you are a survivor of human trafficing and/or abuse, your feedback is welcome, but please do not read this if you think it may trigger your trauma. I did not write this with the intention of harming anyone, but rather to provide accurate representation for a group that does not normally get it in the hopes of changing the zeitgeist. I would like to see a world where more people understand what these experiences are like, so that real survivors do not have to deal with microagressions from an ignorant public. Reader discretion is highly advised.

8 1398System Supervillain
I was there when it happened. When the walls of reality came crashing down upon us. When everything changed. I was there. I watched it happen. There wasn’t anything I could do, of course. When two veritable demigods are fighting to the death, getting caught in between is a great way to end up very dead. Or worse. That’s when it happened. Raw time crashed with pure paradox, and the universe itself screamed in torment. Night turned to day turned to yesterday and tomorrow and blue and yellow and whale and petunia, and then it snapped back, all at once, with a thunderous roar that was not heard but felt. And then I saw the blue box for the first time. ------------ A System Apocalypse event happens in a world of superheroes, like you would see in the comic books. What happens when the world changes, and heroes and villains are now bound by a System that limits their powers? What will change, and what will remain the same? This story will incorporate Champions/HERO System 5th Edition rules. There will be dice rolls determining the action, and blue boxes with lots of crunchy numbers. If you're not down for that, there are plenty of other stories on this site that you'll like. But if that sounds fun to you, then welcome aboard, and I invite you to see what happens when someone becomes a System Supervillain.
