Chapter 339: Extra – Ladies Nigh
“Yun, are you really okay with just handling the store?” Milk asked Yun when she closed the shop for the day. The shop instance was empty with nearly no one around while Jin was busying doing up his gadgets and dungeons.
“Meh, it’s not that bad. I am part of the System and so when Jin asked me for my help to do so, I would do it for him.” Yun replied as she took a cup of black ivory coffee to drink and asked if Milk wants one. She took up Yun’s offer and looked around Jin’s shop instance.
“It’s so much different from before. Remember the days when it was really just a small shop.” Milk said as if it was something very nostalgic and Yun laughed at the absurdity of the exaggeration Milk gave before putting the saucer and cup of hot coffee down in front of her.
“Girl! It’s barely a month had passed since Jin opened this shop.” Yun blew her hot coffee to cool it down faster.
“Does not feel like a month at all. All the planetary travel kind of spoil my sense of time.” Milk put her hand near Yun’s coffee to cast a minor spell that was consisted of a small wind breeze. Yun thanked her for it was the right temperature when she sipped on it.
“Oh yes! I did not imagine you to be that strong when you fought against Jin.” Milk was surprised by the moves Yun had done when she saw her fought with Jin in the random arena and Yun can only smirk at her comment.
“Mind your own business, Milk.” Yun said as she checked her watch and felt it was not the time to sleep yet. “You want to come with me and walk around the shopping district? There are some night activities we can partake. It feels too early to sleep.” Yun said and suddenly a few monsters started to appear in the shop instance as they always do when the Master Jin was not around.
“Lady Boss! I want to walk around the place too! I heard there is this place where you can sing your hearts out!” Zhi Nu came out from the Sanctum of Worlds.

“Oh Karaoke? I guess we can try that. They should be open till early morning. Let me check if we need to make any reservations.” Yun took out her phone to check the site.
“Then, let me join too.” Que Er the Magpie Queen appeared in front Yun as a magpie before she turned to her human form. Not only her, Nyanmi and Meomi, the werecat sisters also came out from their instance too. Surprisingly, Ke Mi, the Zither Mistress was interested in this particular karaoke activity. If it can increase her exposure to music, she would not hesitate to join.
“Count me in.” Sandy emerged from a pile of soil near an artificial tree and Yun laughed. “So this is a girl’s night out? Well, why not?! But first! Clothes! You ladies need more fashion taste!” Yun said and pointed especially to Que Er and Zhi Nu who were still in their traditional Chinese garb.
Yun clapped her hand and everyone was teleported to the Armoury store where hundreds or maybe thousands of clothes were being sold. The Red Pandas attendants immediately came towards Yun and asked if there was anything they could do.
“Get them suitable modern clothes, those without inscriptions. We just want a night out.” Yun smiled gently at the red pandas which they bow in respect before they scattered out in search for the right clothes for the monsters.
Milk chose something rather modest for her body size. A green chiffon blouse and black long pants. Sandy actually took something more casual, just simple shorts and long sleeve shirt with a panda cartoon graphic.
The werecats despite always in their werecat forms had changed into humans just for this occasion. Their long turquoise and light purple silky hair were of something to envy as it was natural rather than dyed. Of course, because of their hair colour and style, they decided to wear something a little more loud. Black leather jackets with short leather skirts and broken stocking nets. The cats purposely matched with each other for the occasion.
In the meantime, the immortal girls took a simplistic approach to their dressing. Que Er wore a cardigan with a white shirt and black pants while Zhi Nu wore a long dress with a duster sweater. For Ke Mi, Yun personally chose a light pink one piece dress and assisted her wearing it.

“Don’t worry Ke Mi, when we reach there, I will create a portal for you to come in. Great White Snake, you better transport her carefully! Do not dirty that dress!” Yun said and the Great White Snake beside Ke Mi stuck its tongue out in acknowledgement.
“Actually, if you use this pair of magical boots, she should be able to walk normally.” Shu suddenly appeared in the armour store and held onto a box. “The only bad thing is that there will be roots wrapping around her legs and she cannot run with it because the roots would be heavily strained and break. But with that dress, Ke Mi can hide those hideous roots. Maybe when Jin complete that Gearbox, it could serve as a replacement for Ke Mi’s legs too.”
Ke Mi extended her hands out while showing an “I want this now!” expression as she desperately wanted to go out with the female monsters. Shu grinned widely as he placed the shoebox right beside her and she picked it up to use it immediately. The ladies were all cheering for Ke Mi as she took her first step up and walked around in the new boots. She did not know it was that simple to stand up with it.
Yet, it was an extremely magical moment for Ke Mi.
Yun, on the other hand, had no sense of appreciation for such magical moments and hurried the entire group. “Time is not waiting for anybody! Be quick or we will miss out the reservation!”
The girls quickly went out of the armoury store and subsequently out of the shop instance for the very first time. If not for Yun, they might never see what the outside world looks like. Even though Ke Mi could walk, Sandy took the initiative to piggyback Ke Mi as the girls ran excitedly around the shopping district to see the various shops. She did not want the little girl to miss out or anything. Although a number of shops were closed since it was already past midnight, the products behind the glass panels excited them.
It was then Yun beckoned them to go into the Karaoke store where she had reserved a large room. (all expenses were forwarded to the System’s user. Keke!) They ordered many tasty quick bites, and alcohol for the older ladies while the younger ones like Ke Mi and Sandy had soft drinks.
Yun then introduced them to how the karaoke system worked and began to sing a song as part of the demonstration. She later played a few modern and classic songs with singers covering the lyrics too so that they knew how the tune would go. It took some time for the monsters to get used to it but within an hour, they managed to get the hang of it and started to repeat some songs they tried for the first time.
The cats similar to their attire loved rock music while the immortal ladies preferred music videos that suited the traditional Chinese music. Sandy and Ke Mi loved the modern songs but since Ke Mi could not sing, she summoned out her Zither and played along with Sandy and the accompanying music. Milk somehow knew some songs from the radio she last heard when Jin and the Bellators went to the Zoo and she had been singing those songs too. Nonetheless, most of them would try to sing along with any song even though it was unfamiliar. The camaraderie between the ladies for that night was extraordinary.
Even when they were not singing, they would be playing some simple games that involved drinking. For example, if any of the girls went off tune, Milk and Yun would drink a cup of beer and they would see who can last longer than the other.
All in all, they had their fun on their very first ladies night.

Riftwalker
Legend speaks that a roaring force of insatiable abyss lies beneath the peaceful overworld. Named the Rift after its chasm-like entrances, this unexplored void has consumed the underneath for eons. What had seemed just a myth crawled out of unreality in the form of eldritch creatures. Reborn as something not entirely human, mankind rejected the boy. Thrown into the Rift by people who feared him, he had to live in a world run by monsters as a newborn. Surviving, however, wasn't his only difficulty as he soon had to decide whether he would save the people who banished him or simply idle as the Rift engulfed all life. As of chapter 9, Riftwalker is on a very small hiatus. I'm very busy with work atm :( Here are a couple of things to expect: Lots of action and exploration! Diverse and refreshing creatures; There are good and evil. Satisfying progression and coming of age. The protagonist stands out but isn't overpowered. There are some litRPG elements, but it's not a determinant factor. The fights are decided through one's combat skill and experience and not stat-checking. Oh, and some other info: There is a bit of gore, but nothing disturbing. Occasionally, there will be images of the scenery and landscape. Chapters will be around 1,5k to 2k words long, and the releases will probably be relatively slow, sorry.

The Rebirth of a Emperor
An Emperor reaches the end of his days, exiled and living in misery in a faraway land together with his entire dynasty and some friends from his time of rule. He regrets never being able to return to his beloved country and wonders if he made the right choice by leaving his throne to avoid a massive conflict but tries to comfort himself knowing many lives were spared. As he dies however, visions of a strange future appear as if to answer his doubt, making him shed tears of remorse, for his country's fate is not a good one after him, making his end truly a miserable one. However unexpectedly, his eyes open again to a place never seen before to a people he had no recollection of, in the embrace of a woman he at first has no idea of who it was. This strange, absurd situation quickly makes him realise what just happened, he does not know how he came to grasp the situation, but something made him understand this: This isnt his world and there is no turning back, no way to see his homeland again nor his family. In this horrible realisation, he cried, much like the infant he was now, marking his rebirth to this new world, which he saw as a punishment from God for his actions. ----------- Note from author: this story is the first i ever published, so please, to anyone who takes an interest in it, have a bit of patience with me and if you can, give me a bit of good old criticism. For now i will publish small chapters for i am not very confident in this, but as i write more and gain some experience i will release longer and better ones. Also English isn't my mother language so any advice or correction is welcomed.
