《My Hermit Life》Chapter 46
Advertisement
The first thing Solomon did after waking up was to
activate the voyeur formations that Solomon set up
to assess the situation happening in the manor.
What he saw made Solomon roll around from
laughing; the lord of the manor despite being a
chunky fellow was pacing around in his office with
some city guards nodding to his words. The
daughter was crying in her room with a few of her
friend holding her and consoling her. The majority
of the servents were packing up and leaving since
the lords of the manor lost most of their wealth.
The only servants who stayed were the elderly or
those who were raised by the manor lords family to
be loyal. Solomon knew that his amusement towards
their situation was extremely sadistic but he
didnt care. Solomon was too busy being aroused by
his treasure and wealth. Soon enough though
Solomon turned off the formations and got to
organizing his new found wealth. All he was to put
books in the library; money in money room, and he
planted the seeds in the plant room. Everything
else went into his miscellaneous room.
He also recorded everything down into a little
booklet/ journal, this was for organization.
After all that Solomon went into a three day long
seclusion and then he went out for a night on the
town. He did this to listen in on any rumours
about the robbery. The first place he visited was
a bar on the main road; from his house to the bar
took Solomon five minutes while running at a fast
pace, but it would have taken a mortal a hour or
more to do the trip.
Inside the bar Solomon found a stool right next to
the bar, he also ordered a grain alchohol.
" Keep these coming would you hun. "
" You got it sir. "
This was the only conversation between Solomon and
the bartender. After that Solomon focused on the
ambient conversation.
" Did you hear about the robbery that happened to
the to the Treen family recently? "
" Yeah its crazy isnt it. "
" I heard the only thing they were left with was
the change in their pockets. "
" I heard even clothes in their dressers was
taken. "
" Naw it was only some gems that were laying
around the house that was taken. "
" Bull, if it was only some gems the Treen family
wouldnt be freaking out so much. "
After four glasses Solomon had had enought
listening around inside the bar. The only crap he
was hearing was bull. He wasnt hearing anything
interesting or of value. So he just went from bar
to bar, party to party, he even went to a funeral
for a while. Eventually he decided to go to a high
class party; he put on some fancy dress clothes
and groomed his hair. Despite all that Solomon
still stuck out slightly from the other party
goers; each of them straying away from him;
Solomon didnt care though he just wanted to hear
rumours.
When he sat at the bar Solomon ordered a higher
class version of the stuff he always gets. Once
again with minimal coversation with the bartender.
" I heard the Treen family was completely robbed
by some anonymous person recently. Good, they got
what they deserved. "
" Yeah I heard that slutty daughter tried forcing
some hunk into marrying her. Maybe hes the one who
robbed them. "
" I did hear that the city guard has been tracking
that fellow down. Trying to find him and

interogate him. I wonder if the Treen family had
some special treasure for all the attention. "
When Solomon heard the casual conversation going
around the ball room he became slightly nervous.
After all despite the weakness of the country
overall it was still Solomons first robbery. This
meant he didnt have the resistence built up to
pressure that some veteran thieves would have.
After a few hours of listening around Solomon went
home since he had completed his objective of
finding out the situation. To get home Solomon
went to a secluded alley and ghost transformed
after that he waited for a little while. After
exactly one minute of waiting an elf came around
the corner. Solomon was almost positive he was
being followed, but he had zero way of knowing,
thats why he went with the wait and see tactic.
Eventually the elf just sighed and walked away.
Solomon didnt do anything against the spy since
that would make him more suspicous than just being
sneaky. And Solomon didnt want put on a list so
early in his carrer.
When Solomon reached his house he went into his
and Lorettas world and waited. After one day
inside the world Loretta showed up right beside
Solomon. This was a setup Solomon and Loretta came
up with in order to meet each other frequently,
each time one of the two entered the world the
other would feel it and enter as well at the
earliest convience.
At first the married couple didnt do anything
other than stare at each other for a little bit
and then they made out.
" Whats up hun? Its only been a week dont tell me
you are already having trouble. "
" Not trouble per say but more like potential
trouble. I just wanted to talk with you and I
wanted to ask if you had any good scouting
techniques. . . . Oh and I wanted to see how your
conquests are doing. "
Loretta smirks and then she and Solomon walk over
to a small sitting area Solomon had built nearly
one million years ago.
" I have wiped out a few bandit compounds as well
as two prisons on the out skirts of Shent. My
undead army is coming around to be absolutely
massive, though only amoungst beggining
necromancers. Unfortuantely its getting harder and
harder to upgrade individual undead which sucks
royally. This means that my monster undead are
still more powerful than my humanoid undead. I do
have a route picked out that will let me wipe out
ten compounds and two more prisons in one week. I
think that by the end of the year I should be able
to take down Shent. If the dont find me first of
course. "
Solomon didnt say anything he just smiled and let
her talk, simply enjoying listening to his true
love. After an hour Loretta had talked about
everything going on in her life, from her army, to
her battle with Loretta, and even her favorite
undead soldiers. Loretta eventually caught on and
stopped her ranting.
" Anyway how have you been doing hun? "
Solomon gave the run down of his week to Loretta
occasionally laughing at or with her. He finished
his story in around fifteen minutes.
" Oh I forgot I do have a technique given to me by
mom. It is a skill developed by her clan, but I
have permission to let you learn it. It is called
Divine Sense and it uses a special organ connected
to your brain and eyes to send out a signal. This
signal lets you see everything within its range.

At novice mastery you can see ten feet,
intermediate mastery thirty feet, advanced mastery
you can see 100 feet, surperior mastery is five
hundred feet, and max mastery is one thousand
feet. Ive leaned a secret though . . . . . . you
can increase the range infinitely using your
mastery trick. Though at a certain range your mind
wont be able to handle the crazy amount of
information. "
" Well what are we waiting for lets fuck . . . . .
then you can teach me Divine Sense. "
" Hahaha lets go babe. "
After that Solomon and Loretta made love, spent a
week together having fun, and then another two
days for Solo to learn Divine Sense.
" Well we should get back to doing our own thing.
Dont forget to use those formation blue prints I
gave you. "
" I wont hun. Make sure you rob that country
blind. Ill miss you. "
" Ill miss you to. "
With that they hugged kissed and then they left
their world.
( P.O.V Change )
The first thing Loretta did after leaving her and
Solomons world was to call in some of her undead.
Through out her week long vacation with Solomon
Loretta would bring in some un-dead to up-grade.
Thanks to that she wasnt to far behind in up-
grading the un-dead. She proceded to do some basic
modifications on one hundred un-dead, mainly
skeletons and zombies. After she did that Loretta
rested for four hours inside of a tent.
After she finished resting Loretta rounded up her
military in a basic attacking formation; one that
was created by Solomon; it wasnt the best but it
was pretty damn good especially considering hed
never been in a war since his birth. After that
she proceded on her three hour long march towards
a prison.
When she arrived there was a small militia of
around seven hundred surrounding the prison in a
crescent formation. Apparently her recent
conquests had reached the country she was planning
to invade and they had sent a defense formation.
Loretta wasnt nervous though and so she sent
thousands of un-dead to just destroy the
formation. The militia clearly wasnt expecting
such a thing and some nearly ran away. But they
had a charismatic general who held them all
together.
The undead leading the charge were a bunch of modified rhinos. Each rhino had a thick bone plate over protecting their bodies, each plater also had spikes on them. The rhinos were also covered in extremely tough skin that Loretta had to personally make using her weaving; she also made the skin itself stronger before killing the creature that originally used it. ( Think of bastiodon from pokemon. )
With the initial clash the one hundred rhinos took out at least two hundred humans but it was more likely three hundred. After the rhinos charged straight through the militia they stopped and started to do a slow 180. The rhinos would no longer be effective though. Instead the follow up un-dead which were humanoids reached their enemies. The humanoids were all equipped with blunt spear like weapons; basically a bludgeon on a long stick. After that it was an all out blood bath, as the un-dead advanced so did Loretta and her army. Each time she crossed a dead body she would resurect it and send it to the back of her army.
Like that she easily and cleanly finished off her enemies and wiped out the prison.
( P.O.V Change. )
When Solomon woke up he was already reminiscing his meeting with Loretta. Meeting with Loretta got Solomon thinking about his parents and master. He started wondering what they were doing.
( P.O.V Change )
In an un-named area deep in the heart of No Mans
Land where only the fiercest Gods and Beasts roam
easily; there are two Legendary Beasts fighting. A
flaming golden lion that hasnt been heard of by
mortals for hundreds of thousands of years and a
brown stag with skin and fur like rock and antlers
like obsidian. Each of their strikes would bend
space and cause flashes of light like a strobe
light going in high gear. Right as the battle of
beasts was going to climax a peculiar noise
sounded out.
' Thump ' ' Thump ' Thump ' ' Thump '
Such an odd noise caused both of the beasts to
pause and look in the direction in which the noise
was coming from. At first they could only see a
cloud of dust, but as the noise became clearer and
clearer so did the thing making it. What the
beasts saw is something seen once in a lifetime,
often less; it was an odd creature with roots and
bark contricting its metal body; its legs would
propel it forward at high speed despite only
spinning. As the creature got closer the noise it
was making became more pronounced with the beat of
a unique roar sounding out.
' Doo doo doot doot doot do doot ' ( A song beat.
)
Eventually the beasts could hear a mortal language
they had never heard before.
" We like to party. We like, We like to party. "
The beasts slwoly heard odder and odder sounds
that sounded completely unnatural.
When the creature finally passed them, the two
beasts saw a golden furred monkey with buff
muscles and shining hair. When the monkey turned
its head and looked at them they saw one hand
propped up on a wheel, the monkey was leaned back
in his seat, he had dark glasses covering his
golden eyes. He flashed a smile and then kept on
his way.
( P.O.V Change )
On top of a small island in an unnamed sea. There is a storm that makes space tremble, some Gods couldnt live for more than a minute inside of such a brutal storm. This was called a space storm; space storms can do anything from nothing to destroying entire solar systems. In the midst of the storm is a dark dragon whose scales can absorb light. This was Solomons mother Shie, she was busy comprehending the Storm Dao as well as nurturing the Storm Gourd she was gifted by Solomon.
She was also absorbing the rain drops into the gourd. This was for later use; once her gourd completely absorbed the storm she would leave the island and go to her own Dao Comprhension Formation.
( P.O.V Change )
Inside of a house, housed on a random planet, inside of a random solar system , inside of a random galaxy, inside of the same universe that Solomon resided in. Currently on a bed inside of that house is a young looking Aopara who is layed next to a young looking Goddess who is actually twelve million years old. The Goddess is asleep with a peaceful smile on her face. On the other hand Aopara is slowly getting up from the bed with a strained face. When he finally gets up he slowly puts on his clothes. Right when she was about to put on his last article of clothing, a shoe, the Goddess wakes up.
" WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? "
Aopara says nothing he just races through the wall at a speed faster than light while holding his shoe. He uses every escaping technique in his arsenal to escape. The whole time hes doing that the Goddess is chasing him in her lingerie and yelling. Eventually he slowly starts pulling away from her and after a week long chase he gets far enough away to be safe and happy.
" Hohoho just like old times. "
( P.O.V Change back to Solo )
" Meh who knows? "

A World Worth Protecting
By the year 3029 CE, Earth’s technology has developed rapidly, borders no longer exist, and Earth has been unified, marking the beginning of the era of the Federation. At that time, a huge sword flew from the heavens, piercing the sun and causing a huge sensation on Earth. Perhaps because the scabbard of the sword was already in tatters, countless shards have broken off from it following the collision with the sun and spread across the universe. Many of these shards have landed on various places across Earth. With the arrival of the bronze sword and its shards, a new unlimited energy source has suddenly appeared on Earth. This energy source has since been named Spirit Qi. Spirit Qi is like air, thick in some places and thin in others. As the Federation and other factions gather more shards, they discover more information on cultivation, pill refinement, Spirit Stone refinement, and other techniques. The words on the shards have an ancient feel to them, making it a trend for people to use ancient language. The appearance of Spirit Qi rapidly makes the original energy sources obsolete and has completely changed people’s lives. Not only has the Spirit Internet been formed, Spirit Qi has also changed the course of Human Civilization, causing the world to enter a civilization of cultivation. This would later come to be known as the Spirit Inception Era.
