《My Hermit Life》Chapter 56
Advertisement
" Kill him already Alphonse, you're holding the team up. "
" You know I don't kill Thyne, even the boss has consented to me not killing. "
After that scuffle Solomon and the squad leader Thyne had a staring contest, Thyne wanted to intimidate the up and coming rookie who thought he was special because the boss gave him special attention. To bad for him though that Solomon wouldn't be scared fighting his boss let alone some petty lackey who was to big for his britches( breeches ). Thyne eventually relented and had a different rookie kill the target, that rookie was of course all to happy to suck up to Thyne, much to Thyne's delight.
After the poor fellow was murdered the group of seven set off to deliver the supplies to the base. The mission was originally supposed to be a supply mission to pick up some ingredients, somehow though, one of the gangs controlled by Gabby found out and tried to disrupt it. Of course it was all set up by Gabby who sacrificed some members of a gang she thought was kind of suspicious. She also did it to not make Solomon seem suspicious, especially since he was already under scrutiny from his no kill policy.
The reason Solomon didn't want to kill anything was because he didn't want his first kill record to be something weak and worthless as killing some petty gang member in an above averaged sized country. No Solomon wanted his first kill to be a certain level eighty. Solomon just used the excuse that his clan didn't want him killing anybody since it would hurt his record, something that is fairly common in big clans. Once Solomon got his first kill though he could basically kill whoever he wanted and it wouldn't really hurt his future Divine Domain.
When the group got back to one of the many safe houses scattered through the city Solomon branched off and started to head back to Gabby's place. Originally Solomon offered to move out of her house, but Nath wanted him to stay close to Gabby, that way he could report suspicious activities. This lead to poor ol' Gabby having her hand's full planning not only legit missions, but also fake ones to throw Nath off of Solomon's scent.
On his way to the mansion Solomon thought of the past few months he had spent at with Gabby.
After joining Nath's gang Solomon hadn't been given many missions, and any that he did get were only small snatch and grabs. That lasted for about a month until Solomon could be trusted, and the only way he could be trusted was by " selling out " Gabby multiple times. He also had to make dozens of formations that he had to give up, though almost all of them had a little extra gift Solomon couldn't wait to use.
When he was finally trusted Solomon was put in a group that was pretty low on the totem pole, but still better than his previous position. After about another month and a half Solomon was personally promoted by Nath who seemed to show him quite a bit of favor. This was because Solomon had a 100% mission completion rate.

Eventually Solomon was put in another group with a much better position who would mainly do supply missions, Solomon's specialty. To not seem to suspicious Solomon had to ruin his 100% completion rate. In order to get his third promotion Solomon had to perform hundreds, nearly a thousand, missions. In the end though it was worth as Solomon was instantly promoted to working in a group who took orders directly from Nath's second in command, Cobe.
Cobe's missions focused mainly on tracking and reporting on any suspicous members of the gang. He also sometimes gave out mission to raid a merchant caravan, rich household, or even to betray a supplier. Of course they wouldn't let the supplier know that they were betrayed and would instead act like Gabby's gang did all the damage. This was also a tactic that Gabby would frequently use, though she didn't use it any where near as frequently as Nath's gang.
As Solomon was thinking about such things he reached the front gate of the mansion only to discover a carriage parked there.
When Solomon was about to go past the wooden carriage a guard walked up to him in an aggressive manner and tapped him in the chest.
" Halt, state your business and leave, you are permitted in the vicinity of this carriage or mansion! "
Solomon squinted his eye's and was about to flare up, but in the end he kept himself calm, something he was proud about.
" I have more than enough right to enter the mansion, considering I live here. Now move. "
" It is impossible for Lady Nicole to be living with a male, be happy I don't beat you for disgracing Lady Nicole's name civilian. NOW You Leave! "
The instant Solomon was about to bring the guard to the ground Gabby came out and yelled out. She was followed by a black haired pansy who looked less like a man and more like a prepubescent girl.
" How dare you attempt to stop my cousin at the door, Andriele tell your guard to stand down. "
" My apologies Lady Nicole, he probably thought your cousin was some idiot trying to court you. Stand down. "
When Solomon heard what the " girl " said he had a look that thought " did this idiot just say that? ". In the end Solomon decided to drop it and was going to walk to his room to once again study the Dao. That was until the prickish looking fellow put his hand on Solomon's shoulder.
" Hey listen, I'm great friends with your cousin so how about one of these days you and I go out and get dinner, that way we can connect a little. "
Solomon just mentally smirked a little, though he kept his face impassive.
" Doesn't matter how friendly you are with my cousin I'm just not into you, sorry bud but you'll have to find some other guy to " connect with ". "

After that Solomon walked off while Gabby tried hiding a smirk, and then the prick and his guards had slightly pissed of looks.
After a few hours Gabby found Solomon meditating on the couch.
" Bro you have to be careful who you make fun of, that fellow you called a homosexual, his father is one of me best customers. He is also the one who provides most of my drug supplies. Listen I appreciate you shutting up that annoying prick, but please hold you insults next time. "
" I will sis. . . . . How about I make it up to you. "
After that Solomon didn't wait for Gabby to answer and instantly teleported to his and Loretta's world. When Gabby opened her eye's she saw a scene that made her eye's cry gold. She saw a plot of land that easily equaled a city in size. It wasn't the plot of land that made Gabby have money symbols in her eye's not it was the thousands of plants that would fuel her drug trade. Literally everything Gabby would need to fuel all her drug needs and then some.
" HEHEHE, hehehe, HAHAHA! "
Gabby had an insane life that could only belong to a crazy greedy person who saw the path to billions. After that Solomon got to work processing all of the ingredients that would last Gabby for months, maybe even a year. It took him around three weeks, it would have been a lot faster except Solomon had to keep going on missions.
One day while Solomon was cooking some food Gabby yawned and walked into the kitchen.
" ' Yawn ' Oh hey bro, I didn't know you could cook. "
" I can follow a recipe, if you wanted me to make a new type of dish or do my own spin on something I'd be screwed. To be honest I was kind of missing some of the foods from my old world and I decided to try making some replicas. Though to be honest I can't find many ingredients that taste similar. "
" I literally let out one statement and you give me an entire rundown of your day. How did Loretta, Deam, and I put up with you for a million years? "
" I'm funny and I barely talked because I worked out for eighteen hours a day. "
" Oh yeah, you should get back to that. "
Solomon just gave a small dry chuckle and got back to cooking some eggs. The eggs were from a type of chicken that Loretta had made during the million year training session. It was a mix of High Dragon DNA and a species of chicken that was rumored to be one of the first creatures on Spinoza( Name of the planet Solo and the cast live on, for those that forgot. ).
The original chicken DNA actually came from Aopara who had some laying around. He had it near to DNA of cyclops, various Gods, and many non sentient Legendary Beasts.
When the many clans originally started pioneering onto Spinoza the chickens were actually one of their biggest enemies. The chickens that were never given a proper species name could easily fight against the Gods of the various clans. The scary thing about the chickens wasn't that they had powerful DNA Skills or were amazing at magic. The scary thing about the chickens was their physical bodies which could easily break space and kill Gods.
Loretta tried to recreate the chicken species and evolve it towards a better power. This lead to a stupid dragon chicken that was twelve feet tall, had shining white feathers, a golden beak, claws sharper than a sassy gay dude, and it could breathe fire, which was the High Dragons race skill.
Solomon really wanted to raise the Dragon Chicken as a mount, but it was to stupid and proud. Stupid because of non sentience which could be changed, and proud because it had DNA from two extremely powerful races.
Since he couldn't raise it as a mount at that point Solomon instead to keep it as a pet and mascot, he also decided to eat her eggs. Honestly though Solomon had no idea how she actually got pregnant since there weren't many creatures strong enough to make her submit. Those that could already had to many mates, this lead to the poor poor girl living a life forever alone. It was so bad that Solomon considered her having raped a poor male creature.
Since she went through so much trouble to have babies Solomon took one of the chickens seven eggs. The one he took was one the the poor girl had not incubated for some reason. In the end Solomon felt bad for the lonely hen so he made an incubation formation and a life force formation to make sure the other six eggs live.
It took Solomon a solid three hours to cook the egg, this was because he was cooking with mortal fires as opposed to Mana powered fires.
When he finally got to eat the golden and white egg Solomon had a true surprise waiting for him. . . . . The egg was . . . . Absolutely disgusting. In the end though Solomon made sure to eat so as to not waste the life of the poor un-born chicken.

Alviona (undergoing Rewrite).
This fiction is going to undergo severe Editing and a Rewrite over next few months. Here is what it hopes to accomplish: 1) Fix the glaring issues from Style in every chapter 1-31 (Dialogues, POV switches and Head-hopping too much) 2) Add some new chapters in and justify the development between Sofia and Anita 3) Remove the info dumps and make it more organic 4) Finalize the genres that this fiction belongs to 5) Create warning in the synopsis relating to the contents of the fiction. 6) Overhaul and show what Mira's view on Alviona is (slowly) 7) Introduce new characters 8) Show chapters the way they were intended, as clues apparently were not visible at all! 9) Make Alviona a bit more serious. 10) Make me (Author) enjoy reading my own work more (yes! :)) Hi. I have been gone for quite a long while. With heart surgery and such that has happened two months ago, I had not had a chance to log on RR due to being hospitalized. I had some other issues that the admins were kind enough to deal with on this fiction. It's good to see everything in one piece. The synopsis has been removed. Chapter 1 should be coming out sometimes before christmas. A lot has changed. I hope for the better. Instead of edits, I have re-read every single chapter and found it to be unsatisfying. A lot did not make sense and unless you have previously speculated what Alviona is, many things she does won't fall into pieces. Well then, time to address all of this. Ladies and gentlelmen, this fiction is undergoing a full scale re-write. While the characters and developments stay the same, it's being done differently. So much that the world should feel darker as it should have been. For those who have stuck around and know the story: Awesome. I worked hard on this, and hope that you will like my re-write. For thos that are new: Welcome. Give me some time, as I am super sluggish. I don't know much time is some time, but I gurantee chapter 1 will be up before Christmas. This said, again, thank you and know that I am back. And that this fiction will be completed. AT ANY COST. I will update synopsis after I post chapter 1. I might post Alviona (revised, as this current one is far too.... simplified, watered down, and dissapointing version of it) seperately. Those that want this, here. But I don't want to add chapter 40. It won't make sense without the backup and world-building of re-write. It will piss myself off. Now then, let's write hm? *This beautiful piece of art is provided by Charee from DeviantArt* https://www.deviantart.com/chalii

This is my first time writing a story, i dont know if you guys will receive it well or not. I started to read LN from NU and RL, and it enchanted me. But unfortunately the author and translator are humans too so they couldnt keep up with my reading rate. From what i had read, i started to imagine what if the world like this, or what if this character had an ability like this or what if the decision the character made was different than the stories. All of that keep coming up as i read, and then a few weeks ago i started to write what i imagine into a new story. Through writing the story i learnt that making a story isnt as easy as imagine. I must think of name, plot, character personalities, the environment, etc. Then one day i decided, fuck it lets post it first and see how it is going to be. To tell you the truth i like chinese martial arts story better but i cant make chinese name since i dont know the language. I learnt from the internet that creating a random name in Chinese is dangerous so i make this story to be Japanese like western story. But i still want to add martial arts and cultivation element to it. I will write what my imagine is like, something will be changed along the way thats for sure but i hope you guys will understand it. Each chapter will at least have 1500 words but i am not so good at english so correct me if there is something wrong with my grammar. I post this so that i can share what i imagine. One last thing, i like OP Main Character and although i dont hate training plot but i dont like weak main character. I hope you like what i write, any critics and suggestion is welcomed so write it on comment section so we can discuss it with the others. Warning For you guys that dont like OP Main Character, bad language, violence, and maybe in the future there will be NSFW content, dont read it For those who seek perfection, you wont find it here Strategy, Business Management, Trickery not my forte so dont seek it here but i will try to make it if possible Character skills will randomly appear as i tried to think what op skill i want for my character so bear with it Plot will be good, well i hope so if not then bear with it
