Help me find errors/mistakes, thanks!
Second chapter of the day, since it's still early might shoot for one more! Also give me your opinion on whether or not you would like to see the war that's going on. (I was thinking of showing it, but considering you guys will know about the results sooner/later I wasn't going to really showcase it. However, the war does have some interesting bits that some of you might want to know for future reference. Would try to finish it all in 1-2 Chapters but who knows, I will take you guys opinion seriously!)
Soaring Dragon Continent, Forest
The scene in front of Qiu Zhen’s eyes made him freeze up. The view made his eyes grow big and soon some words came out his mouth. “This is...a field full of Daylight flowers and MoonNight Roses!”
This scene would make any person who could refine pills drool, because these two herbs were grade five. Grade five herbs could be used to refine a grade five DayNight pill which was capable of increasing the cultivation speed of anyone at or above Mystical level by 150%. For normal cultivators this speed would be a drastic increase, but for someone of the Dao realm or below it would increase their cultivation speed by leaps and bounds.
Wiping away some drool that leaked out his mouth, he was ready to harvest them, but he had one problem. In the field of herbs were thirty Black Fanged Red Wolves, and their cultivation was at the first level of the Dao realm. Facing one wouldn’t be a big deal on Qiu Zhen, but facing thirty of them was even if someone was at the third level of the Dao realm. Not to mention that Qiu Zhen was currently exhausted after his battle with the three Demon bears.
Luckily for him, the Black Fanged Red Wolves were sleeping, but that didn’t mean their killing intent was gone. When they slept they were always slightly alert, the only reason Qiu Zhen didn’t alert them was because his footsteps were light. Sweat appeared on Qiu Zhen’s forehead, he was excited and angry at the same time because a field full of Grade five pill material was in front of his face, yet he couldn’t obtain it because of the beast.

Qiu Zhen looked straight up at the heavens with a teary look in his eyes. ‘Why! Why are you making this hard on me!’ Qiu Zhen didn’t understand why the heavens weren’t on his side, after finding this batch of herbs it had to be guarded by beast. This made Qiu Zhen feel as if the heavens themselves were setting him up to be killed.
Qiu Zhen had two options, one was to leave before the wolves sensed him, or try to harvest a few herbs. Glancing at the heavens Qiu Zhen hoped some sort of miracle would happen not to let him get caught, because he was going to harvest some herbs.
Qiu Zhen held the three blackish red demon cores in his hand and clenched them, he was debating over whether he should use one to fill his qi essence or not. If he used one of them then Qiu Zhen could fight, but if he waited until after his qi was filled then it would help his cultivation soar.
Qiu Zhen gritted his teeth and started absorbing one of the demon cores, it would be a lose but it would help fill his qi. To his surprise when he absorbed the qi in the core, it only filled his qi by 10%, this meant that even with these three cores he would only have around 40% of his qi filled. The amount he absorbed from the cores was 100%, but the drawback of having the 5 Heavenly Dragon tattoo made it so the amount he needed to refill would be greater than his output.
Qiu Zhen approached the edge of the Daylight herb and dug his hand into the soft ground, picking the herb. He obtained it with ease, and approached a MoonNight Rose hoping for the same success. Once he obtained both, he focused on the tattoo and instantly a pill was refined. The color of the pill was bright yellow with multiple rings of black around it. Qiu Zhen could feel the essence it held, which was due to the effect of the tattoo. Not only was this a grade five pill, the rank of this pill was the highest; rank ten.

Qiu Zhen didn’t waste any time and popped the pill in his mouth, he retreated a few meters and sat down to circulate the qi. Around five minutes passed before he fully absorbed it, the first absorption of any pill would give the cultivator the best results. Qiu Zhen absorbed 100% of it, and with it his qi refilled by 20%, but this was only for the first time he took the pill.
Sighing Qiu Zhen looked at the field filled with the herbs and shot a glance at the pack of wolves. ‘My luck is truly terrible’ Qiu Zhen’s figure vanished and he went for the pack of wolves. The Black Fanged Red Wolves, could sense the danger coming and they became alert. Opening their golden eyes, they started growling, but they didn’t see anyone.
Bang! Bang!
Qiu Zhen quickly got rid of two wolves, after leaping into the second level Dao realm his cultivation his strength was enhanced by bounds. Facing these wolves whose hide was softer than the Demon bears was easy to pierce through. His speed was fast, but the wolves already got ahold of his scent, so no matter how much fast he went they would know what direction he was coming from.
The twenty-seven wolves ran after Qiu Zhen, who was darting towards one wolf hoping to chop off its head. Bang! His palm stuck the head of the wolf, and it was blown away leaving behind a pool of blood. Turning his body he struck out multiple palm strikes to hit the other wolves coming his way. Bang! Bang! Bang!
Twisting, Flipping, Jumping, Qiu Zhen was doing it all while throwing out multiple strikes attacking the most vital points of the wolves. The downside to him moving and dodging so fast was the consumption rate at which his qi left his body.
When a wolf attack left, Qiu Zhen would rotate his body barely dodging its attack, only to strike it head causing the wolf to be blown away. Qiu Zhen was drenched in sweat and blood, he was giving off this terrible odor that would make anyone hold their nose.
Currently out of the thirty wolves he faced, only five were left, but his qi that remained was only 15%. Qiu Zhen’s lips curled, and his eyes were fierce he knew he would win. “Come!” Facing the taunt of Qiu Zhen, the five wolves growled showing their black fangs.
“ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR!”
The five wolves felt a shiver down their spine, they knew that the beast which was coming wasn’t something they could face. They fled for their life, leaving Qiu Zhen alone. Qiu Zhen was drenched, and his breathing was becoming heavy, he knew that whatever beast was coming was coming because he smelled blood. When one fights demon beast, one must know that the blood can attract another demon beast. Qiu Zhen almost forgot about that because in all his fights so far nothing had appeared, but whatever was appearing now was something that made his hairs stand up.
Leaping out of the darker part of the forest was a beast whose fur was red, its fangs were 2 meters long and at least 1 meter thick. The body of this beast was 3.5 meters tall, and the look in its golden eyes could make any beast stand scared stiff.
Qiu Zhen’s body stiffened at the sight of it, he never imagined that such a beast would appear in this small forest. The smile on his face disappeared, and his legs tensed he wasn’t staying to fight, he was going to flee. “R...Red...Demon furred lion….!!”

Champions of the Boundary
In reality, there exists a realm between reality and fantasy, where all maner of magical creatures exist, and the warriors summoned as they died in reality fight against the forces of a powerful being known only as the Shadow of Life. Here, they live in a world with experience and Levels, Classes and Skills, and they fight against monsters, training for years just to achieve a Level that can allow them to make a small difference. Yet even with this training, it is not enough. The Crystal Adventurers are forced to retreat further and further every year as the Shadow of Life's monsters grow stronger and more numerous, destroying cities at an increasing rate. If the city of Maelnor falls, then it will be less than a year before nearly all of the Crystal Adventurers are wiped out, both those brought to the realm upon death, and those born and raised there. Legends tell of a prophecy that describes a team led by the legendary child of the prophecy, a child whose destiny is not to end the Shadow of Life, but to act as a harbinger, one whose very existence will turn the tides of war, one who must meet three seemingly impossible or currently unheard of criteria before the tides truly change. This is the tale of Team Noruva, which consists of a quiet, yet wise healer, a silent, but thoughtful rogue, a knight with an iron will, a wolf beastborn who gained access to the System, and their leader, who ignores the impossible and does whatever he wants, because why the hell not? This is the tale of their adventures and daily lives, their ups and downs, their struggles, successes, and losses. **REGARDING PoV'S*** There will be 5 total PoV's in this story. However, four of them will take several dozen chapters (beginning Chapter 73) to start happening, with the first two "Books" focusing just on Zack, which is why there's the Multiple PoV's tag on here, even though only one's around at first.
8 166For Grass and Glory

Join Walton in his final journey as he figures out if his principals are just as important when there is nothing left to lose. Combating hypocrisy, youth, bad diet practises and a general lack of respect towards humanity, Walton's struggles are the true adventure of the everyday man. A story about unlikely friendship, being old, unexpected beauty, and the obsession of kicking a round leather ball in the best way possible. A story about a new world, and its possibilities. A story about the grass, and let us hope, a small bit of glory? Author note: This is a project of mine I started in 2016 and recently been writing for again. Writing for me is something I love to do, but can't always find the time for. This is also the reason I have not finished (or come close to) Ethereal Space yet. I get distracted. I started this novel intending to create something else, to break a bit with the current go to's story wise in the litRPG or virtual reality communities. So, this is my attempt at "Something different" I would love feedback or just your general opinion. But most of all, I hope it entertains. Enjoy!
