System," Congratulations! Undying Body has leveled up to level 6. You are now equivalent to Muscle Refining Stage 6."
" I knew it... He wouldn't disappoint me. He got me straight to stage 6, I was only at stage 4 before I lost my cultivation."
" The hell?! Why aren't you fu*king dead yet... How are you Muscle Refining Stage 6? Just a few moments ago you didn't even have a cultivation. Well, it doesn't matter. I'll kill you nevertheless."
" He looks so angry. This is the best day of my life. With him around, it won't be too long before I reach a new realm."
…
System," Congratulations! Undying Body has leveled up. Your body is now equivalent to Muscle Refining Stage 7."
" How? He's still not dead. And now he's at stage 7. He must've been hiding his cultivation the whole time. What if he's at an even higher stage? I need to run before he tries to do anything to me...", thought the stranger.
" Where the hell do you think you're going? Today you're going to die by my hands, and no one is going to be able to save you. You got so mad when I said that you were weak. But I've been letting you hit me for so long and you still couldn't do jack to me. Now that you no longer have a use, you should just die."
" No! Please don't kill me... I beg you-", said the stranger.
System," Congratulations on killing a Muscle Refining Stage 7, you have gained 1,000 xp points. Congratulations, you have reached Muscle Refining Realm Stage 2. From now on you can use skills."
" 1,000 xp huh? How helpful is that even? And wasn't I stage 7? How the hell did I turn in to a stage 3? Yo System, what are my current stats?"

System," Here are your stats:
Cultivation: Muscle Refining Realm
Stage: Muscle Refining Stage 3, 440 xp/1000 xp
Body: Undying Body Level 7
Skills: None"
" Wow. This whole time I didn't even have a cultivation... I destroyed that nub with the power of my body only. But what are skills?"
System," Skills are techniques that you can use to battle others. To learn a skill you must either comprehend one or kill another person to learn their skills."
" Oh. But then why did the person I killed not drop any skills?"
System," The person had yet to learn any skills."
" What the hell? He was bragging about being so strong yet he didn't even any skills... Also, why are you talking to me in such a mechanical way? You used to talk normally back then, what happened?"
System," I do not know how to answer your question."
" Wow, you're pretending for sure. There's no way you would change that much after a single upgrade. Well, whatever. Now that I've become so powerful I don't think there's anyone that can contend with me anymore, so what should I do now?"
System," You are recommended to stop bragging. Not that long ago you were nearly killed by Fang Zhi, only because of my help you were able to escape alive."
" What do you mean? Even if you didn't help me, I would've been able to escape."
System," But then why were you begging me to help you escape? You seemed quite desperate."
" I was just pretending. There's no way I would be scared of him."
" Oh, really?", asked Fang Zhi.
" Wtf?! System help me escape!"
System," No can do. I need to power up for another week to be able to teleport you again."

" Didn't you say that you teleported me far away from him? If so, then how the hell did he find me that quick???"
System," If you had paid attention earlier, you would've known. But since your such a dimwit, I'll repeat myself. Even though the teleportation can teleport you very far away, I can't control where it teleports you. So you can only blame your luck for being teleported so close to him."
" Tf? What's the point in even using teleport, if it's that bad."
System," If I remember correctly when we were at Fang Zhi's lair, you said any place is better than that place."
" Why the hell are you so determined to prove me wrong every time? Can't you go easy on me, just once? But seriously, help me escape please!"
System," Like I said, I need one week to power up. So until then, your gonna have to survive on your own."
" You shouldn't have escaped. You only pissed me off more. I was thinking about giving you a painless death, but since you enraged me even further, I'm going to make you feel like your in hell. Now let's go to back to my lair, shall we.", said Fang Zhi.
" I'm dead this time for sure. He nearly killed me last time, and there's no way the System will be able to power up in time..."

The Beaumort Society
The city of Omen is on the cutting-edge of learning and science, and the things going on behind the backs of the Institute and the government, and sometimes with their approval...well, they don’t really matter. Conspirators operate just below the surface, societies clashing, fighting for their own mysterious ends. It's here that the individual known as Nemesis Jones, a self-styled private investigator, arrives, stumbling onto the doorstep of a curious bookstore called Beaumort's. He's here in search of answers, but all he seems to find is more questions - like the strange girl who arrived at Beaumort's shortly after him, and the peculiar stranger who just may have the answers he seeks. After he stumbles upon a conspiracy tied far too closely for comfort to his best friend, it's up to him and some other nosy eccentrics to unravel the mysteries of the city one by one, beginning with the murder at the Theatre Obscura. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, all of this is explicitly outlined in Nemesis' job description. [ILLUSTRATIONS BY @THEEGGGARDEN ON TWITTER] [UPDATES 13TH AND 27TH OF EVERY MONTH]

I do not know when the next port call will be so I will be on another Hiatus for an undetermined amount of time. Scribblehub is not blocked on my work computer so I will be able to update my story on that website. It can be found here.) This story is a draft, I'll be doing my best to update monthly; work might get in the way of that so some update might be delayed an extra week or so. There will be roughly 31 chapters in total (I have the entire plot written down for the first book and the overall plot written down for the entire series.). (Summary is also a WIP and will change later to better fit the story. Any advice on how to write a summary for multiple POV's would be amazing)

Vendor of Spirits
A warlock once made a pact with the Powers Above. He snuck in a clause that resurrected him whenever he died, with all his memories intact. He lived for thousands of years in a hundred different bodies, changing the world into a dystopian regime where he could freely pursue his passions: alcohol, television and ducks. This made the Powers Above very angry, so they erased his memories and reincarnated him as a simple barmaid in a sleepy village where she could do no harm. I don’t know any of this, of course. I just find it very annoying that she’s chosen me to tag along with.
