《UNBEATABLE! INVINCIBLE! UNPARALLELED! [REMASTERED!]》Chapter 1: Fate changed! [RM]

Knock! Knock! Knock!
The sound of a wooden door being knocked rapidly echoed within a room, after which a high pitched voice from the outside, seemingly coming from a lady in her early 40s could be heard calling out.
"Young man, time to wake up! Help your mother here to collect some firewood again today!"
After the voice called out, the person who was sleeping soundly under a thick blanket began to jolt slightly amidst the faintly lit room, where lights could be seen penetrating through the tiny holes of the wooden wall.
"Hmm..."
The person under the blanket opened his eyes drowsily. He wanted to continue sleeping in his cozy room. After all, the sways of the translucent white curtain that appears to be ever so enchanting from the cool breeze outside which entered his room through a half-opened window, made his bedroom feeling quite blissful to be in.
He yawned slightly and slowly rose up to sit on his bed. Raising both arms into the air to perform a morning stretch, he turned his head towards the window looking outside. His expression groggy, he then slowly moved his legs down the bed and stood up.
"Another new day..." he mumbled to himself as he reached for his clothes hanged on the wall.
The young man then stepped out of his room with his movements a little sluggish as he wiped his eyes with one hand and another tucked closely inside his clothes. He let out another yawn.
"Finally up eh? You sure know how to sleep..." sighed his mother feeling somewhat helpless inside the kitchen as she prepared breakfast.
Her name is Meng Yue, and with a height of only about 145 centimeters tall and a twin ponytail hairstyle, she was often teased by the villagers because of her height and small face.

When she looked up after setting the table, she had to shake her head in defeat. After all, the similarity of her son to that of a peasant by the streets with his bed hair sticking out was quite uncanny.
Then, seeing her son still standing around like a fool, her brows curved into a frown. With both hands on her waist, she shouted slightly, "Go and wash up already!" becoming a bit impatient.
...
Splash! Splash! Splash!
Wiping his wet face with his sleeves, he then tidied up his long black hair that reached down to his shoulders. From the reflection of the water in the well, one could see that this young man had thick eyebrows that was shaped like a mighty saber.
He finally looked like a proper person.
This audacious-looking young man in his twenties, is called Duan Li. Named after his mysterious father, Duan Ju Dai, who according to his mother; had somehow disappeared after trying to get some milk outside only to never return. After that, whenever he would ask about when his father would return, his mother would then just smile as she repeated the same answer time and again, "He is a great man, he must be somewhere out there protecting the world from evil," albeit with an apparent regretful face, until eventually Duan Li decided to stop asking altogether.
One would have to wonder on how many cows does someone needed to milk to have yet return even after two decades had passed.
Thus, Duan Li swore that one day, he would beat his father up if the latter did not return with at least a caravan full of milk.
...
After he was done washing up and finishing his breakfast, Duan Li then set out to go to the nearby forest.
Humming his favorite song that he once heard when he passed by a local brothel, Duan Li strolled through the forest slowly with an axe up on his right shoulder as he looked around to find some suitable trees to chop for firewood.

In their small village, firewood is considered to be one of the essential commodities used as a fuel source for many things such as cooking and heating a bath. Therefore, Duan Li and his mother would get by everyday from selling firewood to the village central market.
Because of this, they could be seen as a low class family, a little impoverished even, if one were to observe their living conditions. Nevertheless, they still live happily together while practicing this frugal way of life. As a result, they could last day by day without ever going hungry.
In fact, there was once a wandering monk that had passed by and greeted them as though seeing some old friends living the way of asceticism. Of course, the said person was then beaten up by his mother who was offended somehow.
"Hmm... seems like this tree should do it..." thought Duan Li to himself as he swung his axe into a chopping motion.
Tak! Tak! Tak!
PANGG!
Halfway chopping through the tree, his axe suddenly seemed to hit a solid object before repulsing it forcefully causing the axe to fly away from his hands and stuck into a nearby tree trunk. Duan Li was utterly shocked as the powerful force also made him stumbled backwards before making him fall flat on his bottom to the ground with a loud 'thud!' sound.
"W-What just happened...?" he said to himself in a daze as he stood up slowly from the ground. He felt quite rattled by that sudden impact and force.
Duan Li then approached the halfway chopped tree trunk to get a closer look and to his surprise, he found a tiny pearl the size of a marble ball being lodged firmly onto the center!
"Eh?"
As this was the first time he ever saw such a thing inside a tree, he was quite surprised. The pearl gave off a mysterious feeling to it. Its crystal clear-like glass appearance made it possible to see its innards which contains some form of a shrouding mists with golden glow around it!
"What is this thing...?" he said curiously as he lifted his right hand to grab at it.
Just as his fingers touched the pearl, a blinding flash of light suddenly blanketed the entire area before his head was then assaulted by an unbearable sharp pain that felt like his brain would burst apart at any moment.
Unable to withstand the pain, his mind then went blank as he blacked out and fell to the ground, unconscious.
...
In a kingdom far, far away, an old man with a long white beard draped in a luxurious white robes fell off from his chair.
Padah!
"Aiyoh!" he shouted in pain.
Rising haggardly from the ground as he put both arms onto his chair to support himself to stand up, he then muttered with bated breaths and wide eyes!
"The stars of the Nine Heavens has merged together!"
His white beards trembling and his face horrified when he stared at the ancient murals on the ceiling.
"T-This... what could this possibly mean??"
…
From that day onward, the fate of the entire Tian continent has derailed from its original course, forever changed by the unique destiny of a single person...
And that person, his name is Duan Li.

Alviona (undergoing Rewrite).
This fiction is going to undergo severe Editing and a Rewrite over next few months. Here is what it hopes to accomplish: 1) Fix the glaring issues from Style in every chapter 1-31 (Dialogues, POV switches and Head-hopping too much) 2) Add some new chapters in and justify the development between Sofia and Anita 3) Remove the info dumps and make it more organic 4) Finalize the genres that this fiction belongs to 5) Create warning in the synopsis relating to the contents of the fiction. 6) Overhaul and show what Mira's view on Alviona is (slowly) 7) Introduce new characters 8) Show chapters the way they were intended, as clues apparently were not visible at all! 9) Make Alviona a bit more serious. 10) Make me (Author) enjoy reading my own work more (yes! :)) Hi. I have been gone for quite a long while. With heart surgery and such that has happened two months ago, I had not had a chance to log on RR due to being hospitalized. I had some other issues that the admins were kind enough to deal with on this fiction. It's good to see everything in one piece. The synopsis has been removed. Chapter 1 should be coming out sometimes before christmas. A lot has changed. I hope for the better. Instead of edits, I have re-read every single chapter and found it to be unsatisfying. A lot did not make sense and unless you have previously speculated what Alviona is, many things she does won't fall into pieces. Well then, time to address all of this. Ladies and gentlelmen, this fiction is undergoing a full scale re-write. While the characters and developments stay the same, it's being done differently. So much that the world should feel darker as it should have been. For those who have stuck around and know the story: Awesome. I worked hard on this, and hope that you will like my re-write. For thos that are new: Welcome. Give me some time, as I am super sluggish. I don't know much time is some time, but I gurantee chapter 1 will be up before Christmas. This said, again, thank you and know that I am back. And that this fiction will be completed. AT ANY COST. I will update synopsis after I post chapter 1. I might post Alviona (revised, as this current one is far too.... simplified, watered down, and dissapointing version of it) seperately. Those that want this, here. But I don't want to add chapter 40. It won't make sense without the backup and world-building of re-write. It will piss myself off. Now then, let's write hm? *This beautiful piece of art is provided by Charee from DeviantArt* https://www.deviantart.com/chalii

8 375Cinder Souls II
Dark Souls is known as one of the hardest game series to have ever existed and with the third installment of Dark Souls, being Dark Souls 3, the makers of the game decided to not make another. With the licensing of the game being put into limbo, a game company called Virtual World decided to buy the right to make another game in the series, this game was called Cinder Souls. Something was different about this game compared to the rest of the series and that was it is on the World Gear, a device that put your consciousness inside of the game and gave you complete control of your character's body. This game exploded and sold over 5 million copies in the first week since it had something other games didn't. Freedom. You could do 18+ actions, take over kingdoms, destroy guild bases entirely, and even rob NPCs. Of course there are laws in certain areas that prohibited certain actions but that all depended on what guild was in control of the land you are at. There are 4 continents with there being several countries dividing each continent into different sections and each having their own difficulties. The strongest continent of them all is Land of the Gods, which only the most legendary of players can enter and become apart of. It is a small island which only has 10 inhabitants but these 10 people could easily take over any other continent on the planet but decide to lay dormant on the island, waiting for something strong to spice up the game. Each of these 10 players is considered a God in the game and even have their own following base. Each God had major influence over the millions of other players in the game but that was all in the past. Now it is time for an update, a completely new world with new enemies and new beginnings for all and that update is coming soon. Its supposed to arrive in one day in fact. This update would have new quests and new adventures and the game title will be changed to Cinder Souls II, whether you kept your character or not is unknown but what was known was that the real world was excited for this. Since it was an update, you didn't have to repurchase the game so old players began to dust off their old copies and prepare for the copious amounts of fun in store for them. This story follows one of the best players to have ever graced the game, Frew, the God of Miracles, and his new adventures but it is not as expected. Not one of the 14 million players could expect what would be coming up next in Cinder Souls II nor would anyone be prepared for it. *****WARNING, IF YOU ARE HERE FOR THE VIRTUAL REALITY ASPECT IT IS NEXT TO NONE EXISTANT EXCEPT FOR CHAPTERS IN THE FAR FUTURE***** For the original cover picture, check out this link! ----> https://www.pinterest.com/pin/420875527667199123
