《System of Gods and Devils》Chapter 7: Trash
Advertisement
After 13 years,
A silhouette can be seen sitting on top of a mountain peak filled with bone-chilling snow and the scorching sun glaring like a predator on whoever on top. The Scorching Snow Mountains is one of the forbidden places in Yuan's country.
Usually, the Scorching Snow Mountains have been regarded as hell for cultivators because of its unusual cold and heat. Even the Emperor once went to Scorching Snow Mountains in regard to find treasures in this strange place as the authoritative expert in the country, but he failed to find anything. He was bedridden after returning the Scorching Snow Mountains of severe injuries and Qi deviation. The Qi deviation caused his cultivation to go berserk and nearly died. From on then, he announced that the Scorching Snow Mountains as a Forbidden Zone.
But a boy of 14 years of age stood on the top of Scorching Snow Mountains seemed to enjoy the climate, he had a calm and bright face, a sturdy and well-built body, a slightly messy hairstyle that seemed carefree, and was naked with bits of cloth appeared burnt on his body.
If you carefully look at his skin, there is a translucent glow to his skin, making other's feel Ethereal. It's was the sign of the birth of the Immortal Jade body.
This a place considered hell for cultivators, but for him, it's heaven. When they first found out this place, Kanna and Mia literally jumped in joy. Because for Yin-Yang cultivation this is considered as a holy grounds. Even at the Upper Realm, finding an exact place like this is difficult. The Scorching Snow Mountains is like a place made for Yin-Yang cultivators to refine their bodies without an external source or refining by a slow process.
Roger Dream had finished his upgrade of Spirit Jade Body to Emperor Jade Body in his Eighth birthday. But he wasn’t satisfied with that, so he further upgraded his body into Immortal Jade body.
On top of his shoulders, suddenly two little lolis appeared with a flushed red face with their eyes closed with both hands.

Roger Dream looking at the Loli and sinisterly smiled, "Hey Mia. Kanna. Both of you seen my naked body countless times. Don't you think you guys should take some responsibility?"
"What... What responsibility....?" asked Mia while flustered in red face.
"Since you guys saw my naked body. Isn't it correct for you guys to show your naked body in return," asked Roger Dream while sinisterly smiling.
"You...You..... You Pervert." said Mia and disappeared in Puff of smoke.
"You. Aren't you ashamed of bullying a little girl?" asked Kanna.
"Hey. When you guys did became close. Didn't I thought Gods and Devil race hate each other." said Roger Dream with a fake astonished face.
Hearing this Question, Kanna got in thoughts. Then quickly regained her previous face and said,
"Humph! In front of a Pervert like you. I even feel sorry for a devil regardless of the hate."
Even though she said that he knew Kanna was lying. Recently, Kanna seemed to act like a big sister to Mia and seemed to care for her like a real Sister. Even though he never saw them talking too much, but he knew their relationship has gotten closer.
"OK. Let's stop this nonsense and talk about important stuff," said Kanna.
"OK," said Roger Dream.
"So when are you going to start cultivating. We said you need to refine Yin-Yang Qi till Emperor Jade Body. But since you found this Treasure trove especially made for you, your body has been upgraded from Emperor Jade Body to Immortal Jade Body. Which can be considered as a normal level Genius even in the Upper Realm. So why are you still refining your body and not started Cultivating." asked Kanna.
Hearing this question, Mia silently popped up beside him awaiting his answer.
Kanna asked again "If it is any other people, they would’ve started cultivating after getting bullied. But why are you still waiting without cultivating?"
"Didn't you said that I'm getting bullied? Isn’t it obvious that the weak will always get bullied wherever they are? That's why even if I transcend to the Upper Realm, I want to be strong and don't want to feel helpless waiting for others to help. I want to stand at the peak of heavens unhindered." said Roger Dream seriously.

A form of respect can be seen from her eyes for the first time. And Mia also looked at Roger Dream with a smile for his courage.
"OK. Since your body has been upgraded to Immortal Jade Body. And from the process of Refinement, your strength should be able to topple an Intermediate foundation stage expert. And that without a cultivation base. If anyone knows that they would be shocked enough to fit a watermelon on their mouth." said Kanna proudly.
Roger Dream laughed and said.
"OK. OK. Let's return home and have a feast." said Roger Dream happily.
"Yay," yelled Mia who was silently listening to their conversation. After tasting her first food, she became addicted to eating human cuisine.
Looking at Mia both of them laughed which made her blush.
While returning on his way, Roger Dream recalled how these years been tough on him. He has been verbally bullied to the extreme. Everybody looks at him like trash. But no one ever touched him because of his beautiful sister who was the star of the school. His beautiful sister during her first year in school, she has been found out of her Pure Yin Body. It is also considered as a thousand-year Genius. She has been studying under the school's Great Elder as a Disciple. She's also has been given an Essence Cultivation method from the school and considered as the next head of the school.
But still, Roger Dream doesn't want to stand behind her sister for protection like a coward. Knowing her brother well, she doesn't get involved when he was bullied even though it breaks her heart every time. But still, she won't allow someone to touch him. Once there was an incident where the bully thought his sister won't come to save him and started beating and wounding him. When she heard that her brother is getting pounded, she rushed to the spot and killed the bully and his friends in anger. This was the first time she killed anyone, but still, she killed for her brother. This event shocked the whole school, everyone was shocked to see their angelic beauty turning into a demonic goddess. But the higher-ups were satisfied with the results, as the next generation head, they need her to be ruthless toward enemies.
Even when the bully's clan asked for justice, the school banned their family from entering and joining the school forever. The families got devastated and even kneeled on the gates for weeks, begging to rescind the banishment. But still, none happened, this news also terrified everyone at the school. From on then no one ever dared to touch Roger Dream. But they still bully him verbally behind his back and write trash on his seating place because of jealousy.
Roger Dream should also be considered as a genius, but he kept his upgraded Emperor jade body hidden with the help of his system to not attract the attention of any influential experts. Even his parents thought his reincarnation was the source of his problem in cultivating. So they became overprotective of him during those years and kept saying "We will always love you." Even though this made him feel guilty, he still kept everything hidden not to make his parents worry.
When he thought this time to show what he is capable of to his parents and make them proud, but the heaven's had another plan.
He entered his house to find his parent's missing and found a note and a ring on the table. He took the note and silently read it while a drop of his tears fell on the letter.

Epilogue
Revised version now available! Amazon paperback, ebook, audiobook, Kobo, B&N, Google In the war-torn land of Cyraveil, four heroes strove to overthrow an empire. By cold steel and elemental sorcery, they brought peace to a warring land on the brink of destruction. As the flames died, the realm needed strong leadership, and who better than the champions who had saved the kingdom? But when the people sought out their saviors... they vanished. Matt, Blake, Jen, and Carl: the four mysterious companions, who together had deposed an insane ruler and saved countless lives, were gone—spirited back in a whirlwind of magic to a sleepy suburb in Mellbridge, Oregon, never to return. The friends found themselves home in the real world, exactly as they'd been the night they were taken, as if no time had passed... except only three came back. Hi there! This was my entry for National Novel Writing Month, because why only write one series at a time? The more the merrier! (meanwhile, my keyboard bursts into flames...) I'm also the writer of The Last Science, an ongoing low-fantasy/speculative sci-fi series. If you're familiar with that, you know what to expect here: lots of character-focused drama and dialogue, not a whole lot of traditional action. However, I'm writing a bit differently than usual here, and in a very different structure, so there should be some surprises for returning readers. I hope you enjoy it! [Discord] — for those of you who want to hang out and chat. Cover art (fullsize): Path of Revelation, by taenaron (Tobias Roetsch), modified by Etzoli. Normally I like to do my own cover art from scratch, but I was in a rush for the contest. Might be replaced down the line if I get time.
