Chapter 14: The Entrance Exam
1 week later.
Standing in the massive courtyard looking up to the stage and crystal wall, there were thousands of boys and girls aging from ten to twenty-five. These ranged from nobles to orphans, there were also the parents which, also took up quite a bit of space as they were watching if their son’s or daughter’s Ki cultivation was good or not.
In the middle of the crowd there stood a small boy and girl both of which you could mistake for being dolls, these two were Elias and Jessica and they both grabbed a lot of attention from their opposing genders.
After a while three elders from the capital’s palace took their retrospective positions on the stage and started to explain the rules of the exam, and also introducing the sect’s representatives, who were observing the new possible students from the sidelines.
Finishing the formalities, one of the elders said “Everyone please form an orderly line, so we can make this process simple and quick”. Saying this all of the examinees all rushed to form a line. Elias and Jessica however just walked to the back as they did not care wherever they were in the queue.
One after one, duel after duel. All of this bored Elias to death as they all possessed average talent and were taken in by average sects, whenever someone had the cultivation of a C rank as they were under twenty-five they were immediately hailed as geniuses and were taken in by all the major sects.
Suddenly Elias quickly recognised someone who was about to be tested, as it was the boy in the inn’s turn to be analysed and Elias watched this with a cruel grin. As soon as the boy put his hand on the crystal wall it revealed:

Name: Daniel Menthez
Age: 17
Cultivation: Peak C rank
Element: N/A
Quickly the entire courtyard seemed to buzz with talks some saying about his cultivation at that age and others commenting on his background, all of this seemed to inflate the boy’s ego as he seemed to look down upon the crowd as if he was a king, until his gaze lied on Elias and a large grin spread on his face, and as he drifted over to Jessica he licked his lips which was filled with obscenity.
Time flew by and it was now Jessica’s turn to go up, as she raised her hand towards the wall it glowed and revealed:
Name: Jessica Ravencroft
Age: 17
Cultivation: Mid B rank
Element: Fire (Yet to be fused)
This caused a massive uproar as this kind of talent is once in a thousand years, quickly the sect representatives from all around tried to get her to join, as her talent would set them apart from the other sects. But to their dismay she answered them all by saying “Whatever sect my lord chooses, I shall also join that one as well” pointing at Elias who then had seemingly gained the whole courtyard’s attention.
As Elias walked up the stage, there were thousands of gazes resting on his back as they all wanted to see the man who had one of the best talents in the whole of the human continent as a servant.
Feeling all of the stares at his back Elias couldn't help but look proud and smirk at the obvious glares from all of the sect representatives. Putting his hand onto the Crystal wall it glowed a lot brighter than when Jessica put her hand on, and the revealed information looked like this:
Name: Elias Tails
Age: 10
Cultivation: Early A rank

Elements: Lightning and Blood (Fused)
Silence. No one spoke, they were all fixated onto the crystal wall and then to the arrogant looking boy on the stage, all of the elders on the stage and the entire sect representatives looked like their eyes were about to pop out, seemingly looking at the monster before them.
Walking up to the stage Jessica said “Fufufu my lord, your talent is too much for them they have already seemed to have forgotten about me”. Hearing this the entire courtyard started a gossip spree and all of the representatives rushed towards Elias with benefits of all shapes and sizes as they would get two of the biggest monsters in the human continent in terms of talent in their sects.
Considering all of the offers, Elias noticed one representative did not get up in fact he did not offer or get up the entire ceremony which surprised Elias, walking up to the old man Elias couldn't sense the rank of he quickly said in an arrogant manner “I'll join you” pointing at the old man who opened his eyes in surprise but quickly said “why?” this made Elias smile as he did not accept him on talent alone he replied quickly saying “Your interesting, plus you seem to smell of blood hehe” hearing this the old man again had a look of surprise on his face as he didn’t believe anyone could smell this, but he quickly smiled “Fine, I'll accept both of you , welcome to the Blood Demon sect. Meet me tomorrow at the city’s gate at nine, if you're not there I'll leave without you” saying this the old man quickly disappeared leaving Elias with a savage smile on his face as he knew things were about to get interesting, just from the name he seemed to shake with glee.
After getting out of his stupor, Elias looked around again for the arrogant boy, seeing he was still there he smiled at the boy making the boy shiver, Elias thought to himself ‘Kukuku I’ll leave him with a present so he won't forget me, trying to compete against me’.
Soon after both Elias and Jessica escaped from the public and retired in their inn for the last time.

Earth Exodus
Elliot isn't the first one taken, he was the last, or one of them at least. Careless divines, gods, or higher powers had been snatching humans through numerous means over the years. Those that returned brought minor tokens of their previous power if anything at all. Over time unrestrained magic became commonplace on earth. Which must have brought attention to us. The earth is ravaged by increasing levels of rogue magics, divines, and a war over resources and experience. Eventually resulting in a mass exodus of the remaining powerless humans by a coalition of gods.Now translocated to Vauthia where everyone has been given a path to power. They're met with an unfortunate reality. They've only been rescued from one dying world to be tasked with saving the new one. While at the same time they're apparently supposed to compete with one another. Meanwhile Elliot wasn't just given a path to power. He was given a choice. The opportunity for true power is offered. When as he reaches for it the power isn't all it's cracked up to be.Systemless in a world where everyone else has access to one Elliot must grapple with a multitude of problems from without and within. The 'gods' might actually be incompetent, uncaring, downright malicious, or all three. His power is constantly three steps behind those who chose the quick path to power. There's also the antisocial tendencies he's brought with him from earth. Can he trust the 'god' who seems to be taking him under their wing? Will he be able to catch up to his fellow earthlings who're ever increasing in power? Is it possible he may just break out of his shell along the way?*** What to expect ***The initial start will be quite slow, building the setting, history, and individuals involved. There is a small bit of progression in these early chapters for the MC, but more along the lines of figuring out how their systemless power works. though once the story gains traction it won't stop.*** Don't tell Elliot, but ***Elliot hates to admit it but he's very clearly antisocial. Not to mention troubles with thinking that stem from several un-diagnosed disorders he'd rather believe don't exist.*** Image Copyright *** //In this satellite image released by Copernicus Sentinel imagery, 2020 twitter page dated Dec. 31, 2019, shows wildfires burning across Australia.

Gangs From Another World
This story takes place in a world like our own where magic and high technology rule the day. This particular world is ruled by a feline race. The race is divided up into 12 clans (like Greek city-states), with their own territories, solar systems and planets. These 12 clans answer to the original Home World for external disputes, negations, emergencies or to direct military operations only. Within the time-frame of this story, a new Emperor has recently ascended the throne, approximately a year has past since the ascension. He was the previous ruler of the Clan Ya-kith-Thar or Clan founding #3, world of the artisan cats. Unfortunately, not all residents have benefited from technological wonders. The forgotten, who were not lucky enough to be Royal born or middle class and above, experience a hard life, like those of the colonial worlds. The poorer denizens see the technological marvels from their windows, and yet experience little of it. This is the story of one such group living in the ghetto of the Capital city, written by Horus Blackburn, leader of the North-Central Gang.
