《The Lonely Wanderer》Chapter 18: Expanding New Heart Village.
Advertisement
Ever since Shenzi had opened the Mercenary system for New Heart Village within one month, Shenzi had led all the mercenary groups. Going through villages, and towns controlled by the demons, and their vassal social forces. With two goals in mind, one to be able to sharpen their combat experience. And the second to "plunder" resources from the demons, that belong to the humans of the Yang Major World.
Through all the killing, the humans living in New Heart Village. Are ridden of their innocence, for the first time many have taken the lives of demons. Despite not being taken over by the demons, the seeds of fear and hopelessness has been planted deep in their hearts. To rid their fear the easiest and most brutal way is by killing. While doing so not only does it give them faith in themselves, having life and death battles changed their mindsets entirely, while also advancing the techniques taught to them.
After wiping out more than six towns and five villages, Shenzi absorbs them into his New Heart Village. Acting as a base implementing the Mercenary System with the same rewards and point values in all his recently obtained territories. Not only does this lessen the pressure food wise for such a vast amount of people. It opened mining plants, fisheries and more.
With such an amount of humans, Shenzi implements plans creating roads that go through each of the territories. Making blueprints while having taught many people blacksmithing, a general idea is formed and gained the consent of everyone. While humans are advanced in this world, for many, who are bound to never reach above the third stage of cultivation. The transportation will make it more convenient and less energy consuming, and makes it easier to assemble and assist his forces during invasions.

With his dream view slowly coming to shape. Shenzi begins setting up his government of sorts with easy to follow the rules.
All those who murder/rape will be sentenced to execution in the center of New heart village. If more than two people fancy the same item, whoever has more points obtains the merchandise. Or you can trade an item of equal value.
After setting up his chain of rules, Shenzi goes off to gain intel on the demons of this world. Who their leader is, how much resources they have, and their maximum strength of battle force. Knowing your enemy and all his weaknesses is the easiest way to victory. With his plans set in mind, Shenzi packs all necessities required for his ten thousand kilometer journey to the center gathering of Yang Major World. Walking into the tiger's den is never safe, but risk comes with an equal reward.
While the central city formed an equilibrium with demons and humans coexisting, many fights happen on a daily basis. Children lose their parents, slave trading, theft and more. When demons run a world, all their cruelty and sick entertainment become forced upon the humans. With no one as the "leader" of humanity, humans are like a headless chicken. Able to put up a fight, but lacking in the ability to free themselves entirely from the demons lording above them.
Walking his way through the Abyss mountain range, Shenzi runs into many hoards of mutated beasts. Killing his way through the hoards, Shenzi gains plenty of kill points while consolidating his recently achieved Sword World. To improve his Sword World, every human demon and mutant beast killed a sliver of their life essence is absorbed. Shenzi's Nature Qi cleanses all the impurities leaving all the pure essence to be consumed. While the amount is small, over time the more obtained builds a firmer foundation.

Having caught various types of mutant beasts, Shenzi begins roasting them to perfection. Having eaten his fill, Shenzi enters into a state of cultivating Nature Qi. Taking all his clothes but his pants off, Shenzi sits cross-legged absorbing all the Nature Qi. Cycling through the Empyrean Flame four times, enhancing the pureness of the Nature Qi. It gets spit out flowing through all cells, bones, meridians. Continually upgrading his physique, while also dispelling all impurities absorbed into his body.
As the night goes on Shenzi is awoken by the clangs of weapons crossing. Having long finished his cultivation routine. Shenzi leaps up into the trees going to the source of the fight. Concealing all his aura forming it into a wave in the surrounding seventy meters to throw off others detection. Shenzi views the fight between two groups of humans.

The tenuous balance on the frontlines between the Everdream Empire and the Beast Alliance threatens to shatter. Ephraim the Relentless’ time is near, and his death will create a gaping hole in the Empire’s defenses. If left unattended, the Beast Alliance will push deeper into human territory, thereby destroying the decades of peace the Central Territories have seen. Their peace coming under fire makes the populace recall memories of a time before cultivators existed and of a time where the blood of all genders and ages littered the streets. As a result, the entire Empire draws the same conclusion; they need strong cultivators immediately.

Fortuna Verto
A girl’s luck changes when her world changes upon itself, sending her back and forth between a world she knows and another that shouldn’t even exist. Working with her parallel self from that other world, the two must adjust to their alternate form when visiting the other’s world, as they search for a way to escape the chains of misfortune they are bound to. While this story is the conclusion of the trilogy, it is also fully capable of standing alone in its own light, as the world of Celese itself is no longer a place the characters will be journeying through. However, the events of the story are a spoiler for all previous books, in case that matters to anyone. This book has an additional chapter after the final chapter that represents the trilogy conclusion, and should not be read until all three books are read first. Fortuna Verto continues the events of Essentia Animus to advance society into a sci-fi interpretation of Celese, bringing events to a distant world of another star. At the same time, events interpret a real-world advancement into a similar sci-fi age of another planet that shares Earth’s galaxy, a planet that has also been linked by the Celesi Veil. English remains predominant in both worlds of the story, but the presence of both sides makes certain Aethyx terms stand out, while Earth-styled scientific terms will also stand in a powerful contrast. Instrumentation remains an important aspect of the Elemental Era, but the influence of the gift has grown distant after discovering the superiority of the elements. Harnessing the elements had eliminated some of the original limitations of instrumentation, allowing for a self-sustaining focal source that provides solutions to problems such as automation. This turns the development available from the previous modern-day sense of a fantasy to one that is deep-future. Finally, opening access to the passage across the veil will open this progress in comparison to a very similar deep-future parallel world without such fantasy elements, contrasting the laws of physics with the laws of elements in a convergence of time and space.

In a world where cultivation is the highest form of virtue, the purity of one’s blood is of absolute value. Saul is neither Arloni, nor Delcairan. He’s both. But when a strange ring suddenly falls into his hands, nineteen year old Saul is more than willing to push the boundary between fantasy and reality. However, things are not as they once were in Falden. At a time where Saul finally confronts lord Albryte’s sons after years of torment and abuse, his father’s health is fading fast. Suddenly faced with the consequences of his actions, Saul is forced to make a difficult decision. And as he fights his own battle, dark forces descend upon Lucidia. Followed by a pair of glowing red eyes, a stranger appears in the night, visiting Falden with unfavorable intentions. Even worse, nameless assassins strike at the heart of the capital, leaving Eliza Zaryph, the black sheep of the ruling house of Lucidia, shouldering the burden of governing a kingdom that once turned its back on her. As the world marches toward chaos, their lives take a drastic turn. Will Saul abandon those he holds most dear? Will Eliza drown herself in the past? Or will they struggle against fate and seize the future with their own hands? Tomorrow remains uncertain. But the Sun will show them the way. Author's Note: Inspired by the Wuxia/Xianxia genre the magic system is comprised of cultivating through different Worlds of power, where each World offers more strength and abilities. Currently there are five Worlds known: Essence Practitioner, Essence Channeler, Essence Warrior, Essence Conquerer, and finally Essence Ruler.
