《The Torture System》Crescent Faction

"I would like to take the test."
"Ok, follow me. Wait here. In 5 minutes the exam will begin, until then you can read this paper. It has all the rules of this exam in it." The elder said.
"Ok. (thinks to himself) I wonder how strong the elders that will be foreseeing the exam are. I couldn't see through the previous elder... System, how strong was that elder?"
System," The previous elder was Bone Refining Stage 7."
"Oh, so that's why I couldn't see through his cultivation. It seems I'm the only participant this year..."
"The exam starts now. All of you can go ahead and enter the cave." Another elder said.
"Alright. This should be very easy considering that I have fire resistance due to Undying Body. This heat... It's definitely over 10,000 Celsius for sure. Though I don't feel pain, I am feeling much warmer than I expected... System, what's the temperature here?"
System," It is currently 25,000 Celsius in this cave."
"That's just fu*ked up... Do they really think ordinary people in the Bone Refining Realm can actually survive in this heat? Any other person would've died unless they also had fire resistance or were already in the Soul Refining Realm. No wonder no one ever passed this test... It seems I have reached the end of the cave."
"Well done. You are the first person to ever beat this test. Also from now on, you are an official student of the Sun Sect." Chun Li said.
"That's great. I am really happy that I managed to pass the test, it was really hard..."
"The test... How did you beat it so easily." Chun Li asked.
"I can't actually tell you... It's a family secret and so I am unable to tell you."

"I see... Follow me, I will show you where you will reside from now on. (brings Zheng He to the place) This is will be your new residence from now on. If you need anything or have any questions just ask around and if they can't answer then ask to bring you to me. Also, it seems that I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Chun Li. I am also the head of Crescent Faction." Chun Li said.
"Crescent faction?"
"Oh, I must've forgotten to tell you. The Sun Sect is broken up into 3 factions. The Crescent faction, Eternal Faction, and Immortal Faction. The Crescent faction is the weakest faction while the Immortal Faction is the strongest." Chun Li said.
"How do I get into a stronger faction?"
"Every year there is a test for people who wish to join another faction. As long as you pass the test that the faction made, then you will be able to join that faction. Also, the Crescent faction's test is the same as the entrance exams. Also, those exams will be taking place in 5 days. I need to go somewhere, so I'll get going now." Chun Li said.
Ok, bye. So I have to live in a cabin huh? Well, at least I don't have to pay rent... I guess it doesn't really matter that much since the test is in 5 days. After the test, I will be in the Immortal faction. If the people in the Immortal Faction also have to live in these cheap as cabins then I'm going to have to teach the sect leader a lesson. It's way too obvious how cheap he is."
"Hello, my name is Chao Fei. I am also a student of the Crescent faction. I've been in the Crescent faction for 3 years. I am also your neighbor. So if you ever need anything, just call me." Chao Fei said.

"That's great. My name is Zheng He. And I do have a question for you. Do the people in the Immortal Faction have better places to live than the cabins that we live in?"
"They do. I heard rumors that the people in the Immortal faction each get a mansion. But I don't know for sure since I don't know anyone who's in the Immortal Faction." Chao Fei said.
"Alright, thanks. I'll see you later then."
"Same to you." Chao Fei said.
Zheng He takes a bath and then proceeds to sleep.

Empress of Blue Flower Mountain
Once upon a time, there lived two great and mighty spirits on the mountain. One loved humans, the other hated them. When their differences could not be reconciled, they came to blows, and the human loving spirit was chased out. The banished spirit wandered the world. Rather than an exile, the spirit viewed her situation as an extended vacation. She saw all the sights and people she'd only ever heard about on the mountain. But it was a little lonely. No one could see her or hear her. She was a rootless spirit with no place to call home. And then, one day, she found a friend. When anger and jealousy take everything, only love can create something new. This is the story of perseverance, sacrifice, and forgiveness.

8 159Empyrean Ascendant
Lucas wakes up in a new world. A world with different laws. A world of magic and monsters.

Note: English is not my first language and any corrections in that regard are appreciated.
8 73The Pet Dragon
Reborn as a dragon and stumbling through the world the MC feels rather disadvantaged. This story is a writing challenge for myself for fun and I'll start with one chapter every day though they might not be particularly long. I did not plan anything out but I have ideas. Freeform was supposed to be this but my ideas were too complicated and I couldn't keep myself from overthinking it. Well, that failed. I will resume this story at a later date.
8 190Alphas & Omegas [Dropped]
Alphas are second class citizens to the omegas and receive very little if any schooling. Alphas work all the menial jobs and some are even slaves. Cyrus Adkins is a high schooler who is fighting a personal war against the omegas. Will his war bring freedom to the alphas or is this just the beginning of his end.
8 138The Sleeper's Serenade
An age ago, the last of the gods ascended. Centuries have come and gone without them hearing their true names. A poor fisherman and a worse drunk, Harpis Akkeri, is stumbling and struggling to find his place amidst the bitterly divided city-states of his home. Unknown to most, there is a secretive organization keeping order through manipulation and murder, but are they the puppet or the puppet master? Not all who work in the shadows are willing to suffer them, and the greater good for all does not always suit those who execute it. Facing death, in a moment with nothing to live for, Harpis finally begins to fight. If he can find his voice, the gods may yet have ears that listen.
8 102Beyond the Ordinary
A mysterious organisation is acquiring people. Why do they want them? Who are they? Is there any connection to the questions asked by astrophysics? Where do wrestling stars actually come from? Is cosplay just an excuse? What is the plural of elf? If you are short and bearded do you have to enjoy caves? At least one of these questions will eventually be answered. Any resemblance to a RPG is purely coincidental. No squirrels were harmed in the first few chapters of this story.
