《The Glory After Rebirth》C48. Our Marshall Will Arrive Tomorrow
Advertisement
This fast horse caught the attention of a lot of people. The man on the horse in black suit didn’t look like a messenger. No one knew who he was.
After entering the city, he first asked the way then went straight in the direction of the Ling Family and arrived soon.
“Who are you?” the Ling Family’s guard asked.
“Excuse me, is this Ling Xingzhong’s home?” asked the man on the horse.
“Correct,” the guard answered.
The man dismounted and said, “My master asked me to deliver this letter to Master Ling. He told me to hand the letter in person. Please pass the words for me.”
Was he the messenger? He didn’t look like the messenger. These two guards eyed the man from head to toe. Then one of the two guards went in to pass the words.
“Follow me,” soon the guard returned and led the man into the court yard.
Ling Xingzhong was sitting in the hall when he saw the man come in. When this man moved, he demonstrated such agility that was never seen on an ordinary servant. Ling Xingzhong was confused and couldn’t help asking, “Who are you?”
The man in black suit entered the hall and made a bow with hands folded in front. “Are you the Master Ling?”
Ling Xingzhong subconsciously sat up straight and nodded, “Yes, I am.”
The man in black suit handed the letter to Ling Xingzhong. “This is the letter of my marshal. Please check it.”
Marshal? Ling Xingzhong’s eyelid twitched when he saw the name on the envelope. He took the letter in a hurry and opened it. His face sauddenly changed as he saw the content of the letter. He stood up and asked, “May I ask when the marshal will arrive?”

“Tomorrow morning,” the man answered.
“Thank you for delivering the letter, young man. I will schedule it right away, and we will meet the Marshal at the city gate tomorrow morning,” Ling Xingzhong said.
“Our Marshall meant that you should keep his arrival quiet. He didn’t want to disturb anyone on this trip. It is no need to meet the Marshall at the city gate. He will come directly to Ling Family tomorrow morning,” the man said.
Ling Xingzhong was surprised. “Got it. I will never get this out.”
The man smiled and said, “Sorry to trouble you, Master Ling. I shall return to the Marshal.”
“Thank you, young man. Please take care.” Ling Xingzhong accompanied the man to the doorway, watching the man ridding away.
No sooner had the man disappeared than Ling Xingzhong ordered immediately, “Hurry up and ask the Second Master to come back.”
“Got it!” The servant hurried to Yamen to find Ling Zhaowen when he heard Ling Xingzhong’s serious tone. He didn’t want to waste any time.
“Father, what happened?” Ling Xingzhong hurried to find his father after he came back home.
“Read the letter first.” Ling Xingzhong calmed down now, handing the letter to Ling Zhaowen.
Ling Zhaowen was shocked after quick skimming. “Is Yuwen Tong coming?”
“Yes, his people are almost at Tanyang City. He sent words that he would be in city in tomorrow morning,” Ling Xingzhong said.
“Why is it so sudden!” Ling Zhaowen was genuinely surprised. “Should we inform Lord Tao? Should we be ready to meet?”
“No, the man who came just now told us that we should keep it quiet. Yuwen Tong doesn’t want to disturb anyone,” Ling Xingzhong said.
Ling Zhaowen understood what his father said. He calmed down and said, “Father, what do you think the purpose of his visit this time? It is the most reasonable approach for him to keep quiet if he is really not satisfied with this engagement. Now that he has received the letter about breaking off the engagement, why should he come here on purpose?" He’s Coming!

The False Paladin
Divine Paladins, a title given to those who were blessed with the Lord's Favor, are the pillars of the kingdom of Calorin. However, a kingdom cannot simply be built from ideals of honor and duty. Sir Roel, the 58th Divine Paladin, knows that he's no hero. His sword is fake, his actual powers are middling, and his thoughts grow more cynical with every passing day. Upon receiving his next task, an order to assassinate a member of royalty, he wonders if the only thing he can do is bow his head and obey. Set in a medieval-era world in which brute strength is often subordinate to the schemes and machinations of the ruling class, this is a low fantasy story about a hero who struggles not only against monsters but also the idea that he's supposed to be the one fighting them. This fiction updates once to twice a week and each chapter is a minimum of 1000 words.

Binary of Life and Death
Monsters, gold, chaos, glory, adventure, what more could attract two of the greatest players of all time to Sugarea, the most popular MMORPG of its time. But everyone makes errors, and unfortunate for these two brilliant players, they have made the grave mistake of not actually sleeping like normal humans and missed out on the very moment the new Dark Legion update would take effect. Or did they? They wake in what seems familiar yet not, but they soon realize their predicament. They are inside their game avatar's bodies! A half-Demon and a Dragonoid are now struggling with more than just power, these two men have to find their new purpose and calling in a completely different world. Will they concur it like ordinary land or will they enlighten the planet into equality? Do figures pull strings in the dark or is everything open to the public eye? Nothing is certain except the unknown, and nothing is ever as it seems... This is an Isekai story, as such, some parts may sound either cliché or similar to others, but I assure you, I tried to prevent that. To make it known, I took quite a lot of inspiration from the light novel/anime Overlord, but that doesn't mean it's a direct rip-off of it. You'll find there to be quite the amount of differences. Just a little heads up as well, you should expect irregular uploads, as it takes me a long time to write each chapter. I am currently trying for once every other week on Sundays around 10:00 A.M. Chapters are usually 7k words and up, with the longest (chapter 3) being 10.3k words. So, if you like to sit down and read a long chapter every two weeks at 10:00 A.M. EST on Sundays, then you can waste your time here! Small disclaimer: Profanity is far and few between, and mostly used by side characters, rarely the main character. When something with gore happens, I describe to the best of my ability, which will only get better the longer I write this... :) Small cuts between perspectives happen, and can hide what some characters do, which will be revealed in future chapters, I'm not that lazy... all the time... There are some parts that are long blocks of text, most, if not all, of them, are characters talking, but I try not to info dump. I know one of the tags says "Psychological", and for the most part, it is, but it's not as prominent as other stories, instead, it's more hidden and scattered, but I did try to make the pieces I did reveal all fit together. Cover art is bound to be changed when I have a good picture to use, so the Yin-Yang is a placeholder for now unless yall wanna gimme something to use *wink wink nudge nudge*. So yeah, please give it a try, as I have nothing better to do with my life, and I am banking solely off of a career in literature and am hoping that I can create a story that can actually be called something more than a child's imagination running wild. The eventual and inevitable end to the story won't be for a long while, at least till chapter 40 or so. I have thought long and hard about the message and themes at play, so I hope you, the reader (who has some amazing hair btw), can enjoy and partake on this adventure with me into my dark empty pit of an imagination.
