Finally after some promblems I'm able to write on. Even if say this I will propably not be able to continue with a chapter every day, becourse of RL Stuff(School, Parents,...) but I will try to.
Chapter 15: Amused
Reis woke up and sleepily rubbed her eyes while looking around her. Then she noticed something. She was floating in the air. But not only she was floating, the whole furniture and even the dust hid in the corners of the rooms were floating midair.
Also there was a vast quantity of golden colored qi rushing towards a single point in the room.
At that place in the middle of a dense cloud of qi was a young looking man sitting in a meditation position and wearing a dark blue robe. He had a serious expression and a profound aura surrounding him.
It took Reis a moment to realize that this youth was Zes. But then she moved and suddenly fall down right on her head.
„Hahaha, long time ago I have seen something that funny. Well, it's been a long time since I have been in contact with a person so...“
Still laughing Zes stopped meditating and stood up. Reis quickly stood up and rubbed her hurting head. And she angrily stared at him.
„I wouldn't have fallen down if you wouldn’t have meditated so early in the morning. Also isn't it rude to laugh about someone that was hurt because of you? “
Zes amused looked at her as she finally noticed that she was talking to her master, an immortal of the nascentstage, which subdued 7 other nascentstage cultivators. She paled and covered her mouth.
„Uh...I'm sorry Master. I wasn't quite awake yet so please be merci...“
But he just cut of her words with a wave of his hand and casually smiled.

„Don't worry about it. It was partly my fault and …. you know what, as a compensation I will buy you something in town, OK?“
He left the room like this and Reis flabbergasted followed him. But Zes actually did not leave through the door but just jumped out of the window.
After she jumped out of the window, she quickly went to Zes who was waiting a few meters away.
The pedestrians didn't mind it at all. It was a common for cultivators to quickly leave without being noticed. That's also why you have to pay the logging cost in advance.
„Why haven't we taken the door master? With your strength, there should be no one that can threaten you and the other nascent cultivators of the city shouldn't dare to attack you. “
Zes scratched his head and smiled wryly.
„I just don't like to stand out. I guess it's a habit from the times when I was too weak to fight the demons and had to hide. “
He looked around and then went to a little shop.
„Never mind, let's first go shopping a bit. I do not really plan to stay here for long so I have to quickly buy the stuff I need. “
Reis looked at him and pondered if she had touched something she shouldn't have and then quickly followed him.
This way they spend a few hours buying thing like herbs or medicines.
At some point Zes stopped and looked at Reis.
„Are you hungry? “
Embarrassed she nodded. Zes went towards a pretty expensive looking restaurant and taken some places for them. Shortly after that two bowls of food was standing in front of them. Reis had a bowl of rice with some side dishes while Zes ate a strange looking bird.

„Master? “
„Hmm...(eating) what is it?“
„Um, I don't know how to say it, but.....
Somehow I feel that your cultivation is weird. Maybe it is because of the fact you are no demon but still...“
Zes swallowed a piece of mead.
„What's wrong with my cultivation? “
Reis hesitated.
„Frankly speaking, …. it is just abnormal quick! How the hell have you gotten to the peak nascentstage in just one night? “
Zes blinked and then grin.
„Oh, it's that? Well you know this is the first time I have ever really cultivated. “
Reis just blankly looked at him. Then she jumped up and cried out.
„YOUR FIRST TIME? “
The people in the restaurant bewildered looked at her standing while the chair she sat tipped over.
Embarrassed she immediately sat down and shyly apologized.
After this, there was a long period of silence when Reis was too embarrassed to say anything and Zes was too busy to hold his laughter.
Finally Reis asked again.
„This was really the first time you have cultivated? How the hell have you reached nascent stage? “
Zes finally succeeded in holding his laughter back.
„Well, yes it was the first time. By the way do you like rice? “
Perplexed she nodded. (By the Way Reis is German for Rice)

Elder's Game
In a world set upon by an ancient threat, a new cycle of civilisation competes for power and resources. Amidst the games and politicking of Elder beings, the masses are unknowingly ensnared in plots and schemes that were centuries in the making. At the heart of the world’s workings lies the Tyreal Valley—a land that promises to fulfil the desires of those who seek it. As a haven for the truly strong, the path to this promise is paved more often than not in warfare and blood. To two young stragglers fighting for more than just their own fates, it is left as their only answer. But maybe that’s just what their enemies want. Magic system vaguely similar to GameLit ones (no system nor interface to help), with certain elements that are a bit more analogue. Politics, war, looming apocalypse, a tiny dash of kingdom building, and a minor bit of crafting. There is a bit of a progression element as well as both environmental and cultural exploration. The story follows two youths more directly influenced by aforementioned Elder beings than most. Neither lead cares for politics but certain situations force them into participating, forcing them to make decisions that shape their morality. Initially, the focus is on the male lead as he comes of age in an environment with little scope to change his future, only to be thrust into new circumstances that permanently kill some of his hopes. 3k words every chapter
