《The Legend of the Legendary Xu Xian》Book#1: Life Volume#2: Acadamia arc chp#10: Invite to the Acadamia
Advertisement
I don't know if my fight was taking too long or others finished early, almost all the youths were here seeing me preform.
Off course I wasn't going to take this attack head on. I quickly dodged to the side with a swift step. An executioner style hit has the maximum power but all the more openings after the attack.
His sword crashed in the ground and the sand flew in the air, I can imagine my head being crushed by this strike. Now his head was down, like he was bowing.
In Greek mythology, when Achilles was a baby, it was foretold that he would die young. To prevent his death, his mother Thetis took Achilles to the River Styx, which was supposed to offer powers of invulnerability, and dipped his body into the water. But as Thetis held Achilles by the heel, his heel was not washed over by the water of the magical river. Achilles grew up to be a man of war who survived many great battles. But one day, a poisonous arrow shot at him was lodged in his heel, killing him shortly after.
I kicked this monster's heels as hard as I could and struck him with my sword. His chest touched the ground, as he landed on the floor filled with sand.
I gently placed the tip of my sword on top of his neck. By rules it should clearly be my victory.
'You bastard! you lied! this is wrong' cried the monster, who still was laying miserably on the floor.
'There are no wrongs in battle, only winners and dead and you my friend are so dead' as I said that, an evil grin formed on my face.
But what was this, no one was coming to announce my victory? Seeing the opportunity this monster started getting up.

I hastily backed away. If I am near this monster when he stands up, I am surely done for.
'Yes! he is a tree. Imagine! he is a tree' I charged towards him as I said that. He was still getting up, as they say 'The bigger they are, the harder they fall'
He was on his knees right now, as I stepped on his shoulder and slid on his back and finally hitting the back of his right knee with the pointy tip of my wooden sword. Once again he fell to the ground, this time crying with pain while holding his knee.
No matter how much he trains, he can't train the back of his knees? But what do I do? I no longer have any tricks up my sleeve. If he gets up now, I am in real trouble.
Despite my barrage of wild hits, this monster still stood up. He was raging 'Despicable!' he shouted.
I could not see any chance of me winning this. But I was excited at this moment, battles that I can't win are the only ones truly worth fighting.
After this my mind became blank. Only darkness and emptiness was in my mind. I was once again feeling that pleasant feeling, connected with everything.
With my blood surging, I only had one thought, which is ‘come!’
At that moment, people watching from both sides became nervous.
Everyone of them understood the position I was in. Everyone was greatly confident in this monster, it seemed he was at the top and they were feeling sorry for me.
Just by exchanging one blow to each other, alarm bells rang in my heart, the enemy is not as weak as this monster had expected “Not bad kid, but in my eyes, you’re nothing worth mentioning!”

“Haha, then come! Fight!” I did not wait for the enemy to come but instead, chose to attack first.
The two men continuously exchanged blows, sounds of the swords clashing raised the anger of this monstrous brute while my excitement.
Following the clash of the swords, the onlookers noticed that even though I was being pushed back I was still taking his blows head on. To most of them it was an act of bravery but for those who knew of this monster's strength, their face quickly paled.
Suddenly, the skies darken, seeing this sight, I could not help but smile.
The weather conditions is like that, during summer, rainstorms appeared regularly while during winter it rarely appeared.
My feeling of numbness increased, as the insanity opened for display in my eyes lightened. Seeing this scene, people could not help but feel shiver running down their spine.
I was truly enjoying this. I continued to block and retreat while attacking, my arms became more and more numb but I was showing no signs of backing down from this head on exchange.
At this moment, the dust that merged with my body, surged up. It moved towards my numb hands and I could feel my power rising. Now I was pushing this brute back.
After one more strike my wooden sword broke, but no worries, I slashed his face with it. His face showed the ravage of my strike, blood gushing out from the wound as he crashed to the floor, breathing relentlessly.
Finally the monster was down. With this the announcer finally came down and officially announced me as the victor.
As soon as he did that, representatives of various academies rushed towards me. One offer after another was presented to me, I was in no position to stand much less to think. Then suddenly everyone stopped, an old man wearing a long white robe walked towards me and said 'We would like you enter our Holy acadamia'
After seeing Braids techniques I came to a realization, these secret family techniques are really dangerous. And seeing how Holy acadamia is considered the top, if I enter maybe I will be able to quench my thirst for strength.
Thinking this, I singed a contract stating I will join Holy acadmia. The rest I didn't bother to read.
Shilfa and Qin came rushing towards me, I was badly wounded but I didn't want to ruin my perfect demonic reputation in front of a massive crowd so I persisted as I walked towards the exit.
A room quickly came into my vision, without bothering to see whose it was, I barged in and located the bed as I fell helplessly on it.
I moved my neck, I could feel a fresh cold breeze coming from right of where I laying. In front of me there was.....
But suddenly a very loud earth shattering scream was heard 'Aaaah!' that shook the heavens themselves.

Cheep!?
Charles Monroe survived the disappearance of his parents, did his best to hold things together for himself and his sister. He survived when she, too, vanished, leaving behind nothing but a cryptic note. He was devastated, but he kept moving forward as best he could. Cancer didn’t put him down, and after suffering through several rounds of chemotherapy, Charles Monroe thought that things might finally be looking up. That is, until a virulent strain of ebola swept through the city. With his immune system strained as it is, the odds don’t look good for Charles. Now, on the bridge between life and death, he hears a voice claiming to know where his family went. It claims that it needs his help and that it can give him a second life, one far away from all the pain he’s ever known. So, Charles answers as any reasonable person would. He says no. Charles isn't ready or willing to die yet. But, as with everything else to this point, even his choice to keep fighting is taken from him all too soon. With no other option but the dark oblivion of death, Charles chooses to make a deal with the spirit of a distant world that's seeking a wild card in its battle against the gods, monsters, and mortals that threaten its existence. Someday, he’ll find where his family went. Someday, he’ll uphold his end of the bargain and hunt beings powerful beyond anything he’s ever known. Someday, he might even – hatch? “CHEEP!?” Things to Know: -Cheep!? Will release on a minimum weekly schedule. -After a backlog of chapters, posting will slow, but in the interim you can expect a chapter a day up until roughly 25 chapters. -This story at times will potentially carry some heavy moments, but the tone is intended to be lighter overall. -There are invisible game-like elements in this story, but nothing so concrete as a dedicated gamelit novel. -I personally have some issues with anxiety, so I may or may not interact with the community a lot. I'll try if anyone has questions, but I can't guarantee that it'll be consistent. -MC is a non-human lead, and will never actually become human. Romance will potentially happen between side-characters, but not with the MC. -MC IS NOT THE ONLY VIEW POINT. I have to put that out there because people sometimes hate alternate PoV's in a story. None of them will be filler, and they'll be there only to give a little bit more nuance and meaning to the world that the MC has stepped in, or is about to be imminently important. I'll try to keep them down, but this also helps to prevent me from burning out getting trapped in one view. -Most of all, I hope that this story is enjoyable to you, and that you have a great time reading it! -Written by Michael Adams, Cowritten/Edited by Summer Kent

No Strings Attached [Rewritten]
Warning Just so you know, you better be paying attention to the chapter title or else it's going to be like travelling across multiverses. Explanation Due to a single comment made by a wonderful person, or some douchebag in real life, I have decided to create two seperate stories. A rewritten version, and the original version. The rewritten version will somewhat follow the original storyline of the original version, but will have extra content, extra side stories of course rewritten personalities. The original one will be like a rough draft of where I want the story to go. Like for instance, the original story is like the first Link from 'Legend of Zelda', choppy but fun to read. The rewritten story is the Link from any game during and after Windwaker, smooth and somewhat follows the main premise. Overall both are going to be probably terribly done but hey, I'm creating a furture and past story so what should you expect. - Styx Whatever just put up the revised description. - Ariel Edited Summary Jay W. Blu, a dashing and charming rich boy who's been spoiled his whole life. He is very cocky, has a case of egomania and isn't exactly what you call a 'Relatable Main character', unless you somehow fit one of these descriptions and then relate all you want. He had everything you would probably want if you weren't pessimistic, realistic, or chronically depressed. But as most reincarnation/summoning stories go, he get's himself killed at whatever age he was and is sent to another world. Normally, he would be summoned as something you would call a hero, but since that's to cliche by my standards he is something else. Instead of being the hero of the people that he was told about by a friend, he instead summoned as the anti-hero aka, 'The Hero of Demons'. Now he must traverse the lands slaying opposing heroes as he tries to keep his mind straight, although it's to late. There will be weird people along the journey like a fangirling war general, a hive mind and a manly magical girl? Oh well, Jay is too pure to see love anyways.
