《The Lonely Wanderer》Chapter 15: The same scent
Advertisement
Two days pass in the blink of an eye. Shenzi awakens to a series of notifications running through his mind.
"Congratulations host has broken through into the second stage of Compressed Worldly Sun"
"Congratulations host has developed 365 Yang Meridians"
"Congratulations host's mutated heart has awoken a small part of Primordial Chaos Seed"
Upon his shock and excitement, Shenzi is awoken by the sounds of the cocoon hatching, the young girl's life he saved has been given a second chance.
Upon waking up the eleven year old girl thanks Shenzi, "Thank you for saving my life mister. My name is Lotus, I hate to ask but mister is even stronger than 2 ago. I beg of you please save my village from the demons. And I will become your slave in return"
Shenzi raises his hand to pat Lotus's head affectionately, "Don't worry Lotus, with me around slaughtering the demons, and saving your family and loved ones is not an issue."
With his acknowledgment, Lotus brings Shenzi to her village. Without knowing she'd come "home" to see anyone or countless corpses. Lotus was determined to find out even if she has to lose her life for it.
Traveling south for more than 4 hours at high noon Shenzi and Lotus arrive at her village. Outside the sign with New Heart Village, lays broken and with blood stains on it. Looking into the once "peaceful" village a scene right out of the apocalypse is going on. Demons slaughtering, plundering, and raping the village women and of age teens.
Seeing the bloody and hard to digest scenes. Shenzi clears his mind, knowing now's not the time to let rage blind his vision. But to slowly let out his rage slaughtering all the demons.
After summoning Black Heart and his Worldly Purification. Shenzi stabs both swords into the ground, Channeling his Sword Qi to form a kilometer wide dome surrounding New Heart Village. Shenzi ignites his Retribution Flame, this time feeling the difference containing a slight hint of the Chaos Dao. Controlling it with his will one thousand swords fly out from the Tears Of Rose pocket world. Forming one big connected Descending Phoenix formation.

Spreading its wings proudly and cawing in excitement. The Descending Phoenix swoops down into the village claiming tens of demons lives. Controlling his Descending Phoenix Formation with thirty percent of his Spirit Force. Shenzi snaps his left hand's fingers, forming columns of floating swords. Compressing all their Sword Qi into one point, the Sword Qi forms into 7 meter long sword slashing down with an energy wave claiming hundreds of demon lives.
After killing three hundred some demons. The commanding demon general in charge of pillaging New Heart Village takes notice. Unsheathing his greatsword, the demon general cleaves down with one hand. Effortlessly tearing the Descending Phoenix Formation.
Upon meeting eyes with the demon general Shenzi grows cautious. Smelling the same scent of himself in the demon general, following his own path of Sword Dao. While having his own distinct Sword Qi exclusive to himself. Shenzi becomes excited and filled with battle lust. The first enemy that's not a run of the mill pussy shadowing the efforts of someone else's sweat and blood into forming their Dao path.

Survival Recommended
The universe is destroyed and its inhabitants are thrown into Existence. Eli finds himself in a new world, with a new body, and a System that's more interested in how he'll die. Follow him on his journey of survival in Realms above ours. The story is already completely planned as far as major plot elements go, and it's LONG, chinese novel long. The premise isnt exactly the most original, but after a couple chapters you won't mistake it for any other novel. Be warned this has little in the way of childish wish fufillment and lots of characters are going to die, so don't get too attached. As this is my first attempt at writing, the begining will probably be a bit rough. Please don't shy from criticisms, and I plan to rewrite most of the begining chapters as I get better.

Joshua Hall is an intelligent and promising college sophomore. But when he accidentally witnesses Sara Wilder, a new and quirky acquaintance, receive an eldritch mark of possibility from her mother, everything changes. Josh can now see marks, eldritch symbols of power brought from another plane of existence that empower the weak and the futureless, that are invisible to most. But that's not the only thing that he's seeing, as strange dreams haunt Josh's sleep and threaten to destroy his sanity. With his mind and body struggling to handle the impossible things he can now perceive, Josh has to decide: accept a mark himself, or attempt to forget everything. This is a bit of an experimental project for me, as it isn't my norm in genre or topic. Expect: -Slow build storytelling -Character details -Foreshadowing -Dialogue driven narrative -Dynamic action scenes -Some mild graphic descriptions of injury -Sexuality is a factor -No explicit content (at least not directly) -Mild body horror -Light cosmic horror Reviews and critique are highly encouraged. I am a civil and fair responder, don't be afraid to initiate a conversation. If you see this story posted anywhere outside of RoyalRoad or Inkitt, please let me know as those are the only sites I currently host on. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
