《10k Years Silent Cultivation》Cowardice
Advertisement
Gary fell for a long long time.
Gary lost track of time.
Gary was certain that his 6 months were about to be up, and he'd be spared from the misery that was eternally falling down.
Gary was certain that Gary was dead.
Gary prays that he'll be alive again.
Gary hopes that his new life will treat him better.
"I sense cowardice"
Gary hears a strange voice before being engulfed in light.
"Holy shit" Exclaims Gary.
General Gary awakens to find himself sitting alone in a war tent.
General Gary finds a letter in front of him.
The letter tells General Gary that he is a general in the Violet Sun legion, of the Luxurious Violet Empire. He'd just lost half his forces in an engagement with the Green Orchard Association, and somebody has to pay for it. Whether it will be General Gary or his remaining troops, only time will tell. The inquisitor is on his way to General Gary's tent. He only has mere moments to act.
"This is a legacy!" General Gary thought.
Inquisitor Marcus was currently one angry minotaur. His post-breakfast pre-brunch snack break had been interrupted by an imperial order to go punish the rabble for their incapabilities. Marcus had left a perfectly good half-eaten chocolate bar, and he was in quite a rush to return to it. He decided to not go through the hassle of punishing the soldiers, and decided to go right ahead and punish the general. With this kind of failure in his record, it was unlikely that this 'General Gary' would ever pose a future threat to Inquisitor Marcus.
Inquisitor Marcus walked into General Gary's war tent.
On the other side of the table sat a corpse.
General Gary's corpse.
General Gary is dead.
Inquisitor Marcus has no doubt in his mind that General Gary, whom he had come to torture and possibly maim, was indeed dead. It would be redundant for Inquisitor Marcus to mutilate a corpse. Also, likely far beneath him. Inquisitor Marcus merits mutilating living enemies, thank you very much. Inquisitor Marcus wouldn't have killed General Gary, but it was within his rights.

Judging by the copious stab wounds on General Gary's body. Inquisitor Marcus could assume that the peasants had turned on General Gary for his gross negligence.
Legally, Marcus would have to execute the soldiers for treason, but it was almost brunch hour and Marcus still had a chocolate bar to finish.
Satisfied at the situation resolving itself, Marcus ordered a soldier to dispose of General Gary's body, returned home, and resolved to write the report shortly after post-dinner midnight-breakfast.
General Gary's corpse was lying in a corpse pile.
General Gary's corpse held a referendum, and elected to no longer be General Gary's corpse.
General Gary made his way out of the corpse pile, and removed the resplendent armor he had been wearing.
General Gary was no longer General Gary.
General Gary was now Gary.
Gary ran off into the woods. Gary found a village by following the road, stole a cloak, and ran in the direction of the Green Orchard Association.
Gary eventually made it to a keep of theirs. Inside the keep he claimed to be a deserter, and provided the leaders with secret documents Gary had pilfered from his war tent.
Thanks to these documents the Green Orchard Association was able to temporarily push the Violet Sun Legion back. The last dozen battles had been a total rout. Thousands of children had been left missing a parent, and thousands of spouses had been left widowed. General Gary was revealed to be alive, and became an eternal idol of treachery within the Luxurious Violet Empire. To the Green Orchard Association he became the savior of democracy and freedom.
Gary was neither of those.
Gary was just a coward.
Despite these events it would be a long war yet.
For his contribution Gary was no longer Gary. He was now, once again, General Gary.

General Gary sat in his war tent under the banner of the Green Orchard association. When suddenly, a white light consumed him.
"Glorious! Just like a true coward. Despite them not being punished, you abandoned your men to potential torture, mutilation, and death. Then you deserted and joined the other side, and divulged secret documents causing the deaths of tens of thousands of soldiers." A voice said out in the void that Gary now found himself in.
"Here's a little gift for you now. Find the next on Helena. This projection's out of energy" Said the voice.
Gary woke up at the bottom of a crevice. There was glowing blue grass underneath Gary. A stream passed by Gary. Little droplets of water tickled him occasionally.
Gary was not sure who, or where Helena was, but he would look into finding her.
In Gary's hand was a skill booklet
Chasing Starlight
'There's more to see beneath the stars.'
This skill allowed a True Self realm cultivator to move at extreme speeds. One would be able to travel to either side of Timor in less than a second, at the cost of all their energy and possibly an entire cultivation stage. Upon reaching mastery, the true use of the skill was to travel to another world as a True Self realm cultivator. One would likely lose all of their cultivation, and would move at only about a tenth of the speed of light. One is not aware during the journey. They are immediately put in stasis until arrival, or interruption. An immortal once mastered this skill and accidentally entered the Doors dimension. It's assumed that he stepped into the wrong door and wound up in a dimension where oxygen is always solid. Nasty places to be. Very hard to breathe.
Gary now assumes Helena is a planet, and he must physically go there. Wonderful.
Gary has acquired a skill book for a True Self realm cultivator.
Gary was not in the True Self realm.
Gary did not have the strength to protect such a valuable book. Make no mistake, the book was indeed valuable.
Gary's net worth was suddenly 10,001 Garys. That's 10,000 more Garys than before! Hurray for Gary!

A Will Eternal
A Will Eternal is the fourth major xianxia novel by the renowned Er Gen. It tells the tale of Bai Xiaochun, an endearing but exasperating young man who is driven primarily by his fear of death and desire to live forever, but who deeply values friendship and family. The story takes place in the same Universe as Er Gen's other novels, but is a separate story and can be read alone. That said, it does have connections to the other novels, especially I Shall Seal the Heavens. Those connections only pertain to a handful of chapters, so you can read the novel as a whole and enjoy it without first reading ISSTH. However, the best reading experience would begin with the later portions of ISSTH. This novel is much more comedic and light-hearted than Er Gen's previous works, although it has its fair share of action and drama. For a more detailed introduction, check out this video by the translator himself!

8 77Spiko's Journey
This is a Story of Spiko. An once normal cat, now a cat-girl. Which found herself in a new world. Searching for her home and anything that can hold her attention long enough. Join Spiko on her travels, in a world that is as unforgiving as it is breath taking. Be warned. This is a somewhat slow burn story. I expect that I will need a few chapters to get the rough outlines out there. General Info: -I really do this mostly, cause i need to freshen up my grammar and stuff. So, I will go over these chapters a lot, if I find errors (or you find them). I will mark revised chapters and what I changed in them ( if it is of importance to the story). I'm sorry for anything i might unleash onto the world. -There will be a little of everything in this. But I will never do harem stuff. Or horror just for the sake of it being horrific. No needless bad popes, bandits that rape villagers. Just for a hero to save the day. No stupid tropes. No OP Powers that can call forth doom to anyone. Spiko has Plot Armor as thick as any MC that you can't really kill off for good. But no Demon Lord will trip over a pebble, onto a peel of any fruit of choice and then die in a comedic way. When she needs saving. She's a tough cookie, which will find ways to get out of trouble (or into it). -Yes, the picture shows Spiko in her true glory. Before a lot of other stuff happened to her. And yes, Spiko is a weird Name for a cat. I'm weird. -Thoughts of Spiko are in Cursive = Why is that flower blue? -Descriptions and passive observational stuff that is coming from 3rd person view is in normal = There stood a blue flower, as Spiko shifted her wary gaze. -Distinct sounds are in bold = Swish (goes the cat paw on that blue flower!) -Talking is as always in "Hey, stop that!" -System stuff will be in tables = [Stat gain Stuff and so on] -There will be light GameLit stuff. I won't overdo it and if i do anything GameLit, it will have a reason and explanation. Do excuse the table formatting. I'm not great with word processor programs. -I'm crazy. Updates: Saturdays + whenever I feel like it (atm about 2~4 chapters a weekend + maybe weekdays. I guess?).

The surviving humans were trapped behind boundary walls a hundred feet high, and all magic was forbidden.And now the war is returning. The Relic Guild are all that stand against the end of the city.
