《The Lonely Wanderer》Chapter 11: Good news is a double edged sword
Advertisement
Continuing with Shenzi’s two hours of training. Feeling the air flow of Qi, learning how to track the assassin’s steps when in stealth. And mainly how to attack while concealing one’s killing intent. Two hours fly by as quick as could be and slowly 5 am approaches. Shenzi meets his new Instructor. “Hi there young lad, I am Instructor Smith. From 5 am to 9 am I will be teaching you Blacksmithing. In this world, one’s weapon is the most important. Once you have run out of Spirit Force, you’ll be damned without a good weapon. First things first a Blacksmith is only comfortable with their tools. Thus you’ll be learning how to make your tools to then use for creating your weapons, armour, arrows and more.” Lazily scratching his head Instructor Smith begins his lessons plan. “Today your first lesson will be creating your hammer, learning how to smelt metals with your Flame Spirit Force. And last but not least, making your weapon." Four hours fly by, with sweat falling from Shenzi's body and completely exhausting his Flame Spirit Force. Shenzi successfully holds up the sword he created. The sword is measuring out to be 2 1/2 meters, with a blade as thin as the wings of a cicada. Tinted with a red shade, created from 10,000 Year Spirit Lava Core. With pride in himself, Shenzi names this sword Worldly Purification. After thanking Instructor Smith for his teachings. Shenzi's new teacher comes in. "Hell handsome I am your next teacher Instructor Storm. From 9 am to 2 pm, I will be teaching you archery. In this world, there is no such thing as overlearning, only ignorance of one's abilities. " For your first lesson today I will be teaching you archery basics. And how to manipulate your Spirit Force to control the flight of the arrows. What is frightening about archery, is that once you reach an expert level. You no longer remain stationary. However, since your my first student it would shame me if you cannot run and shoot arrows at the same time. So today I have placed targets all around the outside compound. I will be controlling all of them with my Spirit Force. If you shoot an arrow and it doesn't hit the bullseye, the previous arrow you have shot. All 100 other targets will use .1% of my Spirit Force to shoot arrows at you from every direction possible. Think of this as being awarded for your success. And being taught a lesson for your mistakes. Within four hours Shenzi can be considered to have become a porcupine more than 1,000 times. While two pm slowly but surely flows by. Shenzi's torture has come to an end. Next up is his last instructor for the day. To his surprise, Reiya arrives "What's good little shit? I hope you had a good time with all the other experts. I had to call in some old favours for these rotten bastards to train you with me. Don't you waste these precious favours I have made use of." From two pm on to nine pm, I will be your last instructor. I will be teaching you Sword Dao, as well as Spirit Integration. In the world of cultivation, people can leave Spirit Imprints on their weapons. The terrifying thing about these Spirit Weapons is as your spirit grows, so does your Spirit Weapon. What's even more critical your Spirit Weapon will get used to your Sword Qi. While using your Spirit Weapon, It will enhance the effect of your Sword Qi by two folds. For your first lesson. I will summon a vortex of Sword Qi one of the Demonic Spirit Force, and one of the Purifying Spirit Force. Inside it will be like a pressure cooker. The stronger your Sword Qi becomes, the less suppression you will feel. Inside if you make a mistake by cutting the wrong "core" of each Vortex. It will be the equivalent to your full powered Waxing Gibbous. If by chance you gain enlightenment, The pressure will further increase on your Sword Dao. Only through tribulation after tribulation, will you be able to conquer your Dao Path. Now before we start your training, I have a piece of good news for you. This current generations Demon Lord is trapping Adria's soul. This demon lord is beyond his previous generations. With overbearing strength able to rip apart the Deity Formation surrounding hell. You will have a tough road ahead of you if you wish to save Adria's soul.

8 133A Canopy of Stars
Arden, planet of a billion souls, has been destroyed. A solar body, known only as The Dark Star collided with the world, shattering it. Through the actions of ancient heroes, and the sacrifice of the Gods, life found a way. Floating through the black sea of space, orbiting the destructive beauty of The Dark Star is Shatter, a coalition of continental rocks, surviving as best they can. Through magic and technological advancements, the fractured remnants of the planet have been made halfway habitable. In addition to shattering the prime material plane of Arden, The Dark Star’s destructive force also fractured the planar system, collapsing ancient barriers and forcing the wild elemental and chaotic magics of the planes into conjunction. The Kingfisher, helmed by the enigmatic and powerful Captain Thunder and her miscreant crew, do odd jobs to survive, operating outside of the law. One such job takes them to the shard of Evergreen, a fragment of planet covered in brilliant forests and the capricious and deadly faerie folk who call them home. Unfortunately, while the job seems simple enough from the outside, it quickly embroils the crew of the Kingfisher in a dangerous storm. Can Thunder and her crew keep to the sidelines when war is brewing around them?

Playing around with friends, going to school, and going on trips with his parents every once in a while. But life had other plans for his future than letting him grow like any normal teenager.

But life was not yet done playing with his life, so it showed Julian that he had no talent to do anything that would lt him gain his revenge. It had become clear to Julian that the heavens did not favor him, so he left on one last journey when… ***** Ahhh I don't really know what else to add but ill write it here anyway, this is my first time writing a story, so I am still experimenting with things, so it is possible that you might find the beginning of the story to be a bit slow, but I assure you the later chapters and things I have in plan will not disappoint you. Oh, I also forgot to mention that I have taken inspiration from waaaay tooo many novels that I liked, and while there aren't any specific ones that I based this upon there are a few that I definitely took inspiration from like : the author's POV, chronicles of the heavenly demon [you can probably see where this inspired me ;)], etc.
8 180The Prodigal Prince
The Crowned Prince Nicholas Bennett Caspian Remington III has decided to abandon his country and title at the age of 12. He is not sure why, but his "6th Sense," as he has come to call it, tells him he has to leave before he is engaged to Scarlett Lola Barnes otherwise he will not get the "optimal" results. If you are confused, don't worry, he is too! He has a checklist in his mind titled, "The Perfect Game Walkthrough," whatever that means, and it has guided him since he was 6 years old. Though he has tried to fight the feeling all his life, it is like he is being controlled by someone else at times. Nick still has some control, mostly in conversations or when the 6th Sense is not guiding him, but for the most part, he has learned to go with it. It has helped him save himself and his family on more than one occasion, both politically, from corrupt nobles, and physically, from assassins that he fought off himself! He does a routine that would be demonic for any kid, let alone when he started it at 6.
