《The Torture System》Morning-Star Hotel

" System, can you teleport me to the Sun Sect?"
System," Yes, but I won't."
" Why?!"
System," I'm too lazy to do it."
" Please, I beg you, almighty system..."
System," Alright useless bastard. I'll need 2 days to power up though."
" Ok, sure. I'll find a house to stay while you power up then. Wait... I don't know what the currency of this world is..."
System," You ever heard of the saying, the strong feed on the weak? You probably didn't. Just go to any hotel or whatever and tell them that you need a place to stay and that you have no money. They'll let you stay there for free and give you money."
" But that's just blackmailing them with my power. I don't want to be such a despicable man."
System," You didn't pay the noodle shop you ate from. You just walked away after eating their food."
" I... Look, I forgot k? There's no way I would've done that on purpose."
System," Well, suit yourself."
" I'll listen to you this once. But once I have money I won't do this again, ever. Well, I should ask around for nearby hotels. Uh, hello? Is there any hotels near here?"
" Uh, yes. There are many hotels near here. I would recommend you go to the Morning-Star Hotel. They have the best overall prices and services.", said the stranger.
" Thanks. Also, can you take me to the Morning-Star Hotel?"
" No problem at all. Just follow me.", replied the stranger.
...
" This is Morning-Star Hotel. I'll take my leave now.", said the stranger.
" This place seems like a decent place to stay. I wonder how they'll respond to me not wanting to pay up... I hope they don't get too mad."

" Hello, sir, welcome to Morning-Star Hotel. We promise to not let you down.", said the manager.
" I would like to book a room for 2 days please."
" Sure, I will give you one of our premium rooms. Enjoy your stay. If you need anything just call me.", said Chen Feng (he's the manager).
" I'm really sorry but I will be unable to pay you. I came from a place that's very far away from here and the currency seems to be very different. So if there's any way I can compensate you, I will be happy to do so."
" No, please. You coming to our hotel is a blessing. There's no need for you to pay at all. Just enjoy your stay.", said Chen Feng.
" Thanks so much. I will never forget your kindness."
" How about I take you to your room.", said Chen Feng.
...
" This is your room. And if you need anything just dial 1 on the phone and it'll tell you all the options.", said Chen Feng.
" Alright, thanks. (thinks to himself) This room is really nice and clean. I didn't think they would have such nice hotels... Well, I am a bit hungry so I guess I'll call for room service." (dials 1)
" Press 1 again to file any complaints, press 2 for room service...", said the phone.
" Hello. What would you like to order?", said Yue Feng.
" I would like some dumplings, pork chops,..."
" Sure. The food will be sent to your room as soon as it is ready. My guess is that it'll take approximately 20 minutes for the food to get ready.", said Yue Feng.
" Alright. I'll wait then."

" Ah, the food looks delicious. Tell the chef that they're the best cook I met in my life."
" Oh, thanks. Also if you need anything else just call room service again.", said Yue Feng.
" Wait, you made the food?"
" Yes, I did. I am the head chef. Today none of the other chef's are here so I made the food for you personally.", said Yue Feng.
" I see. No wonder the food looks so delicious. It was personally made by you."
" Alright, I'll take my leave then. Bye.", said Yue Feng.
" (while eating the food) This food is delicious. She really is a great cook. (after eating) I guess since I have nothing else to do, I can go to sleep."
System," You lazy fu*k."
" The fu*k is wrong with you? I can't even take a break now?! Who do you think you are buddy? You can't tell me what to do. Screw you I'm going to sleep.

A Spirit Vein's Guide to Immortality
TL;DR Synopsis: Man dies from falling banana, gets interrogated but answers vaguely, suffers consequences Actual synopsis: Spirit veins. Many consider them to be the pillar on which the world of cultivation is built. These things served as the foundation for the first few realms that would allow humanity to achieve its everlasting dream of immortality. However, in the present age, these pockets of condensed energy only exist to be under the foundations of massive organizations, fostering a new generation of fighters while passively radiating the energy they contain. Nevertheless, spirit veins are still an important element in the world of cultivation, albeit much less so. With that in mind, have you ever considered what it would be like for someone to turn into a spirit vein? No? Well, Arthur never thought about it either. Going through the usual reincarnation schtick (if one could consider it usual), Arthur was eventually brought into a place where a god asked him where he would like to be reborn. Unsurprisingly, Arthur told the god his ideal rebirth. However, soon enough, he would come to realize that he should have been more specific with it. Now being reborn as the smallest spirit vein, or if you could even consider him a spirit vein, Arthur wondered what he could do other than wait for time to consume him…and that’s where the system came in. With it, he would experience multiple stories of hardships, adventure, romance, and action…all underground. Unless…? Do keep in mind that English is not my first language, so I would like to apologize in advance if there are any grammatical errors, typos, miscalculations and so on. In fact, I'd highly appreciate it if you tell me those mistakes. Also, this story focuses quite a lot on the gradual progression of the MC at the beginning, but in the long run, upgrading sprees would probably be more common. Thanks for reading this small note!
