《Reincarnated As the Strongest Ancestor With a System》25. Targeted
Advertisement
With a pair of chopsticks, Qin Yuan picked up a piece of roast lamb covered in bits of seaweed.
He dipped it in the green chili sauce and studied it for a while from left to right before popping it into his mouth.
"Mnm..."
He started to chew it which turned out to be very soft and tender with a salty taste mixed with sweet and spicy.
'How about mixed with wine?' He wondered inwardly then looked at Jian Yixue who was standing by the table.
"Miss, my hands are full, can you help pour the wine into the cup," he asked with a wink and glanced at the wine bottle and gold cup in front of him.
The calm and cold Jian Yixue quickly became sullen at his request.
She remained still as if a heavy weight was pressing on her body.
Holding her breath, she began to grit her teeth as her gaze shifted between his face and the table.
Even so, she still didn't move.
And over time, her eyes suddenly became red.
Qin Yuan was shocked, before he could say anything, tears fell from her eyes.
"You..."
Qin Yuan didn't know what to say.
She didn't seem afraid of anything, not even him, but suddenly burst into tears.
"Are you just trying to embarrass me?" she asked in a sobbing voice.
"..."
"Wait, Young Lady, please stop..."
Qin Yuan didn't want to be seen as a female bully, he wanted to calm her down but wasn't sure how.
After a while of looking around, he finally grabbed her hand.
“Alright, didn't you want to cultivate beside the Supreme Spiritual Stone Source, now you can do it,' he said.
He then stuffed her body into his Space Artifact and moved the Supreme Spiritual Stone Source inside there.

Phew...
He sighed.
Now he couldn't help but wonder about her past.
He then peeked into the space.
Inside, she stood wiping her tears, still sobbing.
Qin Yuan did not think she was faking it when he saw that because she would be too extraordinary if she could fake it under his gaze.
After calming down enough, she looked up as if staring at him.
Her expression quickly turned cold.
She took a deep breath before walking towards the white stone that was floating a few meters in front of her.
"Ayy..."
Qin Yuan shook his head and then looked up at the stairs.
A handsome young man in a black robe climbed the stairs.
His hair is short and slightly curly.
He had red eyes that looked like blazing fire, enough to make anyone respect him.
Qin Yuan put a hand on his chin.
He studied his as he arrived in front of him and said, "Interesting, are you Yan Zhaoge's son?"
The youth nodded and cupped his fists while slightly bowing. He replied, “My name is Yan Di, the first son or the second cield of the Thousand-Flame Great Emperor.”
"Your mother should be that Red Dragon right?"
"Yes."
"Okay, so what's your purpose in meeting me?"
"Actually it wasn't me..."
Yan Di glanced at the ring on his finger, he didn't say anything else.
Qin Yuan who understood what he meant then sent a Spiritual Body into the ring.
Inside was just an empty space with a table and two chairs in the middle.
A young man who was also wearing a black robe sat on one of the chairs.
He was very similar to Yan Di.
But while Yan Di gave off the feeling of a divine being, this youth didn't have any flashy aura at all, he looked very ordinary.

Even Qin Yuan felt he was just a mere mortal.
Of course, that was only if he used a casual gaze.
When he used the Heavenly Eyes, even his heart couldn't help but tremble.
He had never felt fear since arriving in this world, everyone he had met up until now made him feel superior.
This youth, on the other hand, gave off a feeling as if he was a hell that could burn the world.
A friendly smile appeared on his face as he looked at Qin Yuan.
"Brother Qin, long time no see, I didn't think we would meet each other again," he said.
Qin Yuan unhesitatingly sat in front of him.
"I don't know what shocking news you were going to tell me so you came in stealth."
"Do you want me to say it right away?"
"No need to mince words..."
"Alright, it's about the Seven-Paths Great Emperor, he's targeting you..."
"He?"
Qin Yuan knitted his brows.
"You seem to have noticed."
"The Holy Sword Emperor told me that he was the one who told him that I was about to run out of life."
"Oh... He went that far."
"Do you know why he targeted me?"
Inwardly, Qin Yuan wondered if it was because he was a reincarnator.
Yan Zhaoge shook his head. "My investigation concluded that he had an unknown plan... I think there must be something about you that made him target you."
When he said that, he looked at Qin Yuan suspiciously.
Qin Yuan pretended as if he didn't know either, he then asked, "Is there anyone else he's targeting besides me?"
"Yeah, he also targeted the Goddess of Ice."

Keys of the Endpoint
Keys of the Endpoint is an illustrated web serial about the re-birth of civilization in a fantastical world suffering from a recent apocalyptic event. Every day, people appear from the storms that ravage the Endpoint. Whisked away from their own time and place by storms in their homelands, these newcomers find themselves in a hostile place made up of ruins and people from every timeline imaginable. Stranger still, they all soon discover they're carrying silver keys that grant each holder incredible powers. On Earth, most people have mundane excuses for the disappearances, but not Isaac. Having lost his brother Finn to one of these storms, Isaac becomes obsessed with finding a pattern. Not to prevent more people disappearing, but rather to get taken by the storms himself in order to find his brother. While chasing Finn’s faint trail, Isaac soon discovers how little he really knew about himself, his brother and how much loss one person can take. In Keys of the Endpoint there's portal fantasy, personal drama, magic (useable by everyone), plenty of combat, power progression, mysteries, factions, feuds and eventually war (in that order). The magic system is well defined and modular with nigh infinite combinations. The story starts out with one of the two main characters looking for his lost brother but quickly expands in scope from that point on.

The Dungeon's Champion
An overpowered dungeon hunter adventure Matt is a young New Yorker at an all time low in his life, when suddenly a tower appears out of nowhere, right under his apartment. Stuck on top of the tower, Matt had 2 options: wait for help to arrive, or enter Tower and find his own the way out, and Matt wasn't much for waiting. The tower, it turns out, is actually a dungeon full of monsters and chests filled gold, jewels and magical treasures, but the dungeon also possesses its own consciousness. Fortunately for Matt, the dungeon gives him everything he needs to succeed, but Matt can't help but think that the dungeon has not revealed everything, and may have a hidden agenda. Even more troubling is that Matt suspects that the Dungeon may be suffering from a multiple personality disorder. Between protecting a village from crazed dark mages and their soul starved demons, organizing the opening of a dungeon in New York, reforming a crime syndicate on another planet, stopping another dungeon champion from getting him killed, and last but not least, finding a way to thwart some Gods before they stop him; the impromptu dungeon champion has his work cut out for him.

Candle burning in the dark
This is the story of Alyssa and Mireille, two girls in a world of Magic. They are forced to leave their homes by differing circumstances and must come to terms with their own magical abilities and the problems those bring. Alyssa is hunted for what she is, while Mireille is not certain what and who she wants to be but drifting along is not an option when her life is on the line. They live in a world that is torn by strife where humanity is not the pinnacle of existence. This is a world of high fantasy. It is my first written story. I am a non-native speaker. I will not go out of my way to shock people but the content will at times be traumatizing for sensitive people. At the moment I would guess the story to be PEGI 16 perhaps? It's light on the profanity at least? Cover from unsplash.com
