《The Beginning of the Age of Heroes》Chapter 18
Advertisement
It took a few days to get to land and once they did, they all had to walk a long way until they finally saw what looked like a city that was carved into the mountain side. The heroes assumed that this was Nanda Parbot, where they would be spending most of the next three years finishing their training.
"Well, this place looks interesting. I can see there is no modern technology here, which I guess that is a good thing being that we don't need distractions while we are training." Oliver said.
"Yes, training is the most important thing that you will do here, and it will be taking up most of your time, until you are ready to be set out on the world as assassins." Nyssa said.
"We are somewhat used to that with being trapped on that island for two years. We are not used to technology, so there is no real loss in not having it around." Laurel said.
"That does make sense. So, when do we start our training?" Sara asked.
"First, you must meet Ras Al Ghuk, You will pledge your loyalty to him, and then we will start your training." Nyssa said as the heroes followed her to the throne room.
. . .
Not long later the heroes were escorted into the throne room where they saw a man sitting on the throne and assumed that this must be Ras Al Ghul. "What do we have here, Nyssa?" Ras asked.
"I have brought you some new recruits, father. They are willing to learn all of our teachings and will be loyal to you." Nyssa said.
"I see. Very well. We will see where you stand with your skills as of right now and then we will work on you from that point and make you into some of the best fighters in the world." Ras said.

The heroes got down on their knees and bowed to their master, knowing that this would be required. Ras then asked them to stand and Nyssa took them to a room where they would see what the new recruits could do.
"I want to see what you can do against one of my own students. It will show me where you need the work while also showing me where you already excel." Ras said and the heroes nodded.
After the heroes had shown Ras what they could do, he was very impressed with what they already knew and knew that they would pick everything up rather quickly from the way that things looked. The heroes then started their training with learning things that they didn't know already.
"I am very impressed. You will be working with Nyssa and some of my other students with your training for now. Once I see what you are capable of, some you might even get to be trained by me. I do not take students on very often. They have to be very good for that to happen." Ras said.
"Thank you, Master. We hope that all of us are able to train under you at some point." Oliver said.
"Very well. While you are training I want you to think of new names for yourselves. Being a part of the League of Assassins means that you have to throw away your past life." Ras said.
"Yes Master." The heroes all said as they got to training with their new teachers.
. . .
Ras had given them until the next day to come up with their names. Right now they were resting from a hard day of training. Oliver and Laurel had their own room. As did Barry and Kara. Sara was with Shado, which left Thea in her own room, which Oliver didn't like too much, so he got another bed moved into his and Laurel's room so that his sister would never be alone in this place. He knew that Thea could use her powers if need be to protect herself, but he didn't want to take the chance of someone sneaking up on her.

"Thank you for letting me stay in here with you and Laurel, Ollie. I can take care of myself, but what happens if someone were to sneak up on me?" Thea asked.
"I was thinking the same thing. That is why you are in here." Oliver said.
"Yeah, Speedy. We would never leave you alone here with the way that we know that the League is." Laurel said.
"So, what do y'all think of the training so far?" Thea asked.
"It is a lot more work then what we have been doing so far, but I do have to say that I am learning a lot already." Laurel said.
"I agree. I think we are going to be very dangerous once we get out of the League and head back to Starling City." Oliver said.
"I hurt all over. I thought we would be done with that after we started training with Slade and the others on the island, but I think I actually used other muscles that I have never used before." Thea said.
"I agree with you Speedy. I am just as sore now as I was when we started our training on the island. I guess it does have it's positives though. We are going to be very strong when we get out of here. I wonder how we are going to explain that to everyone being that we were supposed to be on the island the whole time." Laurel said.
"We will figure something out, but you do make a good point." Oliver said since he knew that they should be skin and bones if they had been on the island the whole time.
"Yeah, I guess we will. Although we know we can't tell them where we have really been. I don't think a secret society of assassins would like it if someone spoke about them to the public." Laurel said.
"That is a good point. Now let's get some rest. We are going to have an even longer day tomorrow." Oliver said as they all laid down and went to sleep.

Lucky for me, my past lives were quite badass in their respective universes during their prime until their untimely deaths...well most of them, I think. Their experiences remolded the current me to become their best version. I learned something: As powerful as they were, they still died for one reason or another until it was ultimately my time to live. In this life, I vow to learn from their mistakes and live forever. Besides, there must be a reason this {Requiem System} I got was given to me in this life. I am scared I am the last life to be reincarnated. If I die, there won’t be another do over.

You just have to live with it and hope for the best.

A series of Transmigrated Misadventures.
This is an original story about a sadistic and scheming human and his defective sometimes malfunctioning cube about how they travel to different worlds with different settings where they make people's lives miserable. Zhang Fei was anything but a normal person. He was a sadistic human who made the lives of his book characters quite miserable so when he died he was bounded to a system by The voice and entered the realm network. He got a second chance at life and could now practically make the character's lives a living hell but he soon found out that there is a downside to being a sadist as well. that's all folks , so the novel is a bit different from the normal system novels you read, the Main charachter isn't a good guy like in most novels, well he isnt a bad guy either, he is just a sadist. But the point is i tried to make the story as different as i could while still keeping the system/trnasmigration formula with it, so i don't know how you will interpret the story but i hope you still read it and enjoy it. i am not chinese so i might have butchered up the chinese names in the novel. and first time writing so if its a little bad please forgive me. And almost forgot any constructive criticism is appreciated. as it helps me know what i am doing right and what i am doing wrong and i have also posted the same story on wattapad.com. enjoy. Arc 1- [The Cube, The Sadist and The Villainess.] (COMPLETED) Arc 2-[The Lonely Island] (ONGOING) Writing in Quotation marks-"For dialogues of characters" Italic writing- For inner monologues and thoughts Bold writing in brackets- [For the dialogue of system]

Sara's (not really) Fabulous System Armageddon, Book I: The World Ended at Rush Hour
Planet Earth, Monday, October 7th, 2019. 18:30 * * On a fateful day, during rush hour in eastern North America, Heavens and Hell crumbled and fell from their higher dimension on Earth. It came from "above" but not the same above we regard in our tridimensional Euclidean reasoning. No, it came from "above" as in from a higher dimension. Bits and pieces of those places fell on Earth from all directions, this time in tridimensional Euclidean space. Satellites, the ISS, and space debris all were wiped clean from orbit. Even those that didn't crash with the falling debris were knocked off orbit by the shockwaves. On the ground, power distribution lines were disrupted and most power facilities were left abandoned by their dead staff. Most of these had emergency shutdown routines that engaged in a few days. Some others had a survivor among their staff that followed protocol and activated their SCRAM switches, stopping the power plant. Long-distance communication disappeared the internet along with it. The world was plunged into technological darkness. Nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every thousand human beings perished immediately in the pulse of magical energy from the torn spatial boundary. Spirits were rent asunder and vanished, their fate neither salvation nor damnation, only oblivion. The criteria used for this culling was latent magic potential. It didn't discriminate against education, gender, age, or ethnic group. But of the around seven million survivors, most would meet their doom moments later. Those on moving vehicles, like the ones driving on highways suddenly had to contend with high-speed uncontrolled cars and trucks driven by corpses. Trapped in their vehicles and helpless, they became part of the long snake of crushed metal. Very few survived. Those in the air or out in the sea were alone and probably unable to control their rides. Airplanes crashed, and ships kept their course or drifted away, depending on their autopilot. Several ended their own lives in utter despair after seeing their loved ones die in front of them. Another large group would die at the hands of other survivors. Violence and aggression became the norm. Only a few sparse pockets of not-so-sane survivors managed to band together and cooperate for the sake of mutual survival. The sole survivor in a five-over-one apartment building in Georgia, a girl became the keystone to humanity's survival. Sara's fabulous System Apocalypse had just started. She has only one remark. It was anything but fabulous. * * Updates every Wednesday and Sunday.
