《The Sleeping Immortal》Chapter 7 - Sleep Cultivator
Advertisement
Gawking at the information overload Saefwyn sent out, Fiend Yuki was still processing it then Saeflwyn suddenly said, “Enough with that, it’s time to eat now. I’m going to make something with the cheese I’ve been saving up for special occasions.”
Listening to Saeflwyn mention food Fiend Yuki brightened up clearly not remembering that he already ate all the cheese…
Saeflwyn quickly floated towards the kitchen and starts to rummage around, and after a few minutes of looking, shifts her eyes towards Fiend Yuki “Hey… did you eat it? My cheese?”
“Ah… I think so, there wasn’t much stuff to eat and I was hungry…” mumbled out Fiend Yuki in response.
Saeflwyn stopped searching and sighed dejectedly then took out some herbs and meat which she then placed onto a pan and set it about her stove, then with snap of her fingers a fire appeared in the stove.
Startled by the sudden appearance of the flame Fiend Yuki gasped saying “MAGIC! Wow, hey hey Saeflywn teach me that stuff!”
Looking back at the awe filled face of Fiend Yuki, Saeflywn smugly looked back at Fiend Yuki, saying “You won’t be able to control the elements until you figure out how to use Elemental Qi, or the Life Flame which all living creatures have.”
“Then how do I do that, I wanna go snap and bam there’s a fire you looked so cool doing it…” Fiend Yuki said while using his puppy eyes and flattering Saeflywn hoping to get taught how to do it easier.
“First you’d have to start at the Huotain level which is broken down into blood, vessels, bones, muscle, skin, and organs. Then break into Xiantain where you discover Qi and cultivate Qi inside your body, or infuse your Qi into your body making it stronger. Qi and body cultivation can be trained up to here together seamlessly. Up to here then you’d have to choose one or the other to cultivate faster, or risk Qi deviation. And Xiantain is also where you begin to control your Life Flame, being able to control a small part of it to appear outside of your body if you focus on Qi cultivation, on top of your skin if you’re concentrating on body.” explained Saeflywn while Fiend Yuki was trying to engrave her words into his mind.

“Then do you have any way for me to learn it? Like a book or something?” Asked Fiend Yuki eagerly.
Glancing at Fiend Yuki and his thirst for power Saeflywn smiled inwardly, then waved her hand causing 2 steams of mist to drift over to one of the closed doors pushing it open and taking 6 books out then pulling them to float in front of Fiend Yuki. “Read those for now and if you have any questions or need to know how to do it, ask me later after we eat.” gingerly said Saeflywn.
Seeing the books floating right in front of his face Fiend Yuki couldn’t control his excitement grabbing the first one right away, right as he grabbed the book a notification popped up on his eyesight prompting him.
Congratulations: Hidden Quest found

Blankly looking at the message, Fiend Yuki was stunned at how lucky he was to have have the system which would make him more stronger faster. While still stunned he got a series of new messages following that.
You've found the Book: Houtian Development - Blood
Collect all six to be granted the ability: Sleeping Houtian Cultivator
With a shit eating grin appearing on his face Fiend Yuki quickly glances at the other 6 books still floating and quickly grabs them all. Hardly containing his excitement Fiend Yuki waits for the new message which pops up shortly after.
Congratulations

With eyes glistening from excitement Fiend Yuki quickly looks up his new ability: Sleeping Houtian Cultivator.
New Ability
Sleeping Houtian Cultivator
Houtian? Sleeptian more like. Sleep for 24 for each of the stages of Houtian. Currently 0/6. Requires 10 Intelligence, Constitution to level up.
Passive: For each stage completed gain + 5 to each unlocked attribute
“Whoa…” mumbled Fiend Yuki looking at his new ability think about how easy this is going to be for him, sleeping just 6 days to breakthrough to Xiantian this is going to be easy. The only downside is that it has requirements but shouldn’t be too much of a hassle.
While he was in gagaland Saeflywn awoke him by saying “Food’s ready” by which he got up to eat.
After eating it became dark outside, and with the want of getting his ability leveled up Fiend Yuki quickly said to Saeflywn “Goodnight” then ran away and back into the room he woke up in and fell asleep promptly.
Saeflywn wanting to keep talking to him to relieve her boredom, and loneliness tried to wake Fiend Yuki which sadly for her was to no avail saddening and making her angry at Fiend Yuki which unbeknownst to him sparked terrible consequences for him later on when he woke up next.

In each life, he gets a reset and another chance to save Lancelot from being betrayed and killed by the Knights of the Round Table. They claimed that Lancelot's deep, dark secret - screwing Queen Guinnevere, caused a massive civil war that effectively screwed Avalon too. Truth is, Lancelot did have HER deep, dark secret. That SHE was probably the only woman in the world who wasn't into other women. After literally lifetimes of reliving and dying in the same damn cycle, Mordred's done playing nice. Screw trying to persuade the Knights of the Round Table Lancelot didn't swing that way. This isn’t a story about becoming a hero amongst heroes. This is a story about becoming a villain, so that a hero amongst heroes stays a hero. _____________ Cover Image credit: assassin__s_creed_ix_by_remussirion-d4ecbhf

8 161Delicate as Glass
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Nuri, an [Assistant Glassworker], only has a single Skill. It’s really not fair. He’s worked in the hot shop his entire life, following in his father’s footsteps after his parents passed away, but he’s stuck. Despite possessing above-average talent as an artisan, he still hasn’t shed his [Assistant] status, gained a second Skill, or even leveled enough to reach the first Threshold. Besides, he’s bored; most days he daydreams of adventure and becoming a hero, or pines for the renown that’s sure to be his if he evolves his Class into a [Master Glass Smith], but nothing ever changes—until suddenly, fate strikes, and nothing is ever the same again. These days, Nuri sees more magic, prestige, and adventure than he can handle as he gets swept up in realm-shaking conspiracies and desperate fights for his life. Maybe a boring life wasn’t so bad after all. Disclaimers: 1) Names were mostly chosen through random generators and aren’t necessarily final. If they seem derivative or boring, blame RNG. 2) Skills, Classes, levels, and the entire system is currently a work in progress; please be kind if it’s not very well fleshed out yet. 3) This is the first full-length novel I've set out to write without a single plot point ready. I had nothing in mind other than a recent visit to a hot shop. Molten glass is pretty awesome. 4) Related, I know much less about glass than I’d like. I did some research, but mistakes are bound to happen. If you have a correction, thanks! Please be polite about it. 5) The prose is my experimental attempt at first-person, present tense. I realize it may not be everyone’s preference, but I hope you’ll give it a try anyway!
