" Where am I? Didn't I die to that serial killer? The writing seems like Chinese, am I in China? I guess I should ask around. Excuse me, do you speak English?"
" Yes, I do. Is there anything I can help you with?", says a stranger.
" Uh, yes. I am sort of lost right now, and I don't exactly know how to speak Chinese. Is there like a job I can find where I don't need to know Chinese?"
" Yes, there are many jobs here that you can do that doesn't require you to know English. In fact currently I am looking for a tutor who can speak fluently in English for my son. Do you want to be son's tutor? I will pay you a lot, as long as he shows signs of improvement.", said the stranger.
" Sure. My name is Zheng He. What's your name?"
" My name is Xia Fang. "You have a Chinese name and you look like a typical Chinese. But then why can't you speak Chinese?", said Xia Fang.
" I wasn't born here. I was born in New York. Though my parents were both Chinese I didn't really want to learn Chinese because everyone around me always spoke English and I didn't feel like I needed to know Chinese. My parents didn't mind so I ended up not learning it."
" Oh, I see. Do you currently have a place where you can stay?", said, Xia Fang.
" No. I don't have a place to stay currently. Though I'm going to look for one today."
" How about you stay in my house. Don't worry it's free. All I ask of you is to spend more time teaching my son English.", said Xia Fang.

" Sure. Thank you so much! It would've been so hard looking for a place to stay without knowing Chinese."
" No problem at all. How about I show you the way to my house.", said Xia Fang.
" Sure, let's go."
...
" Were here. You will be living in the blue room on the first floor. The room's practically empty. The only things in the room are a bed and an old tv. " said, Xia Fang.
" You have such a nice house and my room's so big as well. It's so kind of you to let me stay here."
" It's nothing. And if you need anything just go upstairs and knock on the door. I'll be there most of the time. And if I'm not there you can just tell my wife. How about you relax for now. We'll talk more about my son's lessons in the evening." said, Xia Fang.
" Ok, sure. I should be dead right now. Yet I am in China right now. Something really weird is going on right now."
System," Hello. You may be wondering what I am. I am the System. I will help you rise to become the most feared person in this universe. And you might be wondering whether or not you are hearing things. No, you are not. Only you are able to hear me."
" What are you? And why will you help me? And what do you mean by saying that you would help me become the most feared person in this universe?"
System," One question at a time, please. Like I said I am the System. I will help you because you are my master and I don't know you're my master either.. And my job is to help you become the most feared man in the universe. I will help you become a being that every evil being in this universe is scared of."

" Ok. So how are you going to help me?"
System, " First of all I will help you to unlock your cultivation talent. Then I will help you rise to the peak of cultivation."
" Ok. But I how can I trust you about this so-called 'cultivation' thing?"
System," I have unlocked your cultivation talent."
" So what is my 'cultivation' talent?"
System," So far you're cultivation talent is F-Grade. The different cultivation talents are SSS-Grade, SS-Grade, S-Grade, A-Grade, B-Grade, C-Grade, D-grade, E-Grade, F-Grade. SSS-Grade is the highest while F-Grade is the lowest."
" You're kidding me, right? How is my talent that bad? You must've made a mistake. How about you check again."
System," Nope. Your talent is indeed only F-Grade. But this is to be expected. Your parents weren't cultivators so you have the average cultivation talent just like everybody else."
" Ok, whatever. But what does cultivation talent do?"
System, " The higher you're cultivation talent, the faster you can reach the next cultivation state."
" Oh, so what's my current cultivation?"
System," You currently do not have a cultivation as you are in a planet where cultivation is sealed. If you wish to cultivate then you will have to move to a different planet that doesn't seal one's cultivation."
" Ok. But how do I move to a different planet?"
System," I will be able to teleport you to the nearest planet. But I do not know if that planet block's your cultivation or not. Also, it will take me 3 days to get ready."
" Ok. So, until then I guess I should just try to live a normal life."

A healthy mind in a healthy body
288 A.D, he was born. 297 A.D, he realised he had evil impulses. 298 A.D he heard of Anthony of Egypt, and sought to follow his example to learn how to suppress his impulses. 303 A.D, he saw his people be persecuted. 306 A.D, his world changed thrice, the persecutions ended forever, this fact and his hermit lifestyle brought him peace which came with strange abilities, and through them he joined the Hidden Side of the World, back then not yet hidden. 307 A.D, he sought for a way to cure myself, yet he stumbled across something more. A reckless ritual connected him to a well of knowledge, driving him insane and immortal, causing him to be treated as a commodity in the supernatural community, an Oracle. 2019 A.D, its been 1712 years, and the lusitanian has ended up in the other side of the world in less than wholesome hands, a place which may have answers about the mysteries of his abilities, when an unexpected event cuts the connection and his sanity and mortality return. Gaius Atiius Quadratus will not forget this kindness. The MC is based on the monk class of many rpgs, but the story isn't Litrpg. Also he will gain non monk abilities after a while. Fair warning I don't understand the rating system but I'll say M-rated just in case. This is my first story, I accept criticism but I would like the critic to explain the reasoning behind it. Also I'm still figuring how this site works and I have no schedule so updates may be sporadic, at least once a week. Not a native speaker but in the practices, too lazy to actually get the diploma, I got an average of 9.7 out of 10 at the Cambridge C1 level, the CAE, second highest european level for foreign languages, so it should be no problem.

Lifestones of Lebreima
Lottica and Nick probably could have dealt with the sudden death of their parents. They probably really could have coped. IF. IF they hadn't had to deal with foreign grandparents who wanted to whisk them off to Lebreima, a small Old World country thousands of miles away from their friends and neighbors. IF they weren't being pursued by a sinister figure in a cape (a cape of all things!) who may have killed their parents. IF, in the ruins of their house, Lottica and Nick hadn't found what their dad had hidden there, along with secrets that were about to change the universe as they knew it. IF (and this deserves the all caps) THEIR DEAD PARENTS HAD JUST STAYED DEAD.

For you, I tore out my eyes and offered them to the Demons. For you, I was hunted for a hundred years but the Conquerors. For you, I groveled before the Devil's Statue for a thousand years. For you, I burned myself alive to appease the Devil's wishes. For you, I cut out my soul and offered it to the Devil-King below. Only...if I could see your jade-green eyes sparkle as they had before. When...will I see your jade-green eyes again?"
