SL: Chapter 542 – Day 5,004 – A Gaggle Of Governors

I sat on my throne in the council chamber while Clarissa went through various administrative tasks. There were several questions that were asked, but nothing that concerned me. I had dinner with all these governors over the last several days.

Zone disputes had mostly been settled, thank goodness. I was glad I hadn’t been around here for that. Level 3 zones were in contention, but it was ultimately ruled that cities had to effectively grind a portion of the zone for a set period of tim...

SL: Chapter 541 – Day 5,003 (Part 2) – A Meta-Point Question

“Ah, the points?” he asked, and I narrowed my eyes.

“Clarissa?” I turned to her.

“I have already sent the request to pull that much from the treasury and our emergency reserves. But I would insist on the answer first,” she said, and I nodded at this turning back to the man.

“The deal is done. We are moving the points. Now your part?” I asked.

“Points first,” he nervously said.

“Alright. While you have proven you might have a legitimate answe...

SL: Chapter 540 – Day 5,003 – Grinding Teams

“Gooood morning Systemic Lands! This is your host and high priest, XLR8 coming to you with live celebration commentary, for those grinders still hard at work out there in the wilderness.

“It is day 5,003 on the calendar in our glorious empire, with our even more glorious Emperor. The weather, lovely as always. We have a slight chance of a breeze and pleasant weather across all cities. No change on the horizon.” I smiled at this. The joke hit the same every time I listened to it. 2023-06-03 23:02:03 +0000 UTC View Post

CC: Chapter 33 – The Crashing Wave Sect

I looked out at the massive waves crashing onto the coast. I knew the ocean was rough, but this was crazy. The waves were about ten feet, or three meters tall. And this was supposed to be when things were calmest at the coast. The coast was all rock, there were very few sand beaches, with how rough the waves were.

Looking out at the crashing waves, I didn’t expect anything to get easier in my hunt for a green ocean lily. I was now 35 years old with 1.2 million points aligned. I was ru...

MM: Chapter 83 – Slither’s Nest

The soldiers had swords, not guns. Their armor looked worn, and their fur wasn’t that clean. There was a general smell ever since I arrived. Apparently, the snakes didn’t believe in plumbing. Several creatures were rushing about, as smoke rose in the distance behind us from the burning warehouse in the town.

I hopped off the cart. Firefur didn’t hesitate to leave immediately. The poor voles pulling the cart with him on it, and several other goods in the back. I moved forward with ...

MM: Chapter 82 – Traveling Through The Southern Continent

We traveled through the night and into the next day. “The slaves pulling this cart?” I asked.

“Ah, you haven’t seen them before. They fail during birth but aren’t taken in as food. We will pass by several farms with creatures like them. Rote jobs that don’t require much thinking. They are managed by attendants, often low ranking ones. The high ranking ones serve a snake directly.”

“And they are above food,” I muttered.

“Indeed. Generations of hypnosis has...

MM: Chapter 81 – Firefur

“May the Warrior watch over you,” Paladin Amberheart told me as I got on board the stealth ship.

“Thanks,” I told the badger as I climbed down the ladder to the stealth ship. Its profile was incredibly low to the water. The stealth ship unmoored from the Night Blade and set off towards the Serpentine River in the middle of the night. I watched as the battleship faded in the distance behind us.

We entered the mouth of the river and traveled up it for about an hour,...

SL: Chapter 539 – Day 5,002 (Part 2) – Festivities

Breakfast finished and after some polite goodbyes, I made my way outside. The inner city was off limits, except for Imperial Government business. But around the inner wall, there were a large number of shops and restaurants.

There was a commercial loop around the inner wall, and then several different sections of the city. Four main roads went North, South, East, and West from the plaza to the gates. In addition there was another large loop road done mid-way out between the inner city a...

SL: Chapter 538 – Day 5,002 – Opinions

“Emperor Michael,” Captain Francis greeted me in the morning.

“Captain Francis, another fun day,” I replied as I looked at myself in a body mirror, making sure my appearance was good.

“You mentioned I could speak to you if there is an issue. There is an issue,” he said.

“Alright, sitting room or my office?” I asked.

“Here is fine,” he replied. I nodded at that, and we both sat at a nearby table. “The assassination, I think it was a poor choice,”...

SL: Chapter 537 – Day 5,001 (Part 2) – God Or Not A God

“My apologies Emperor Michael,” Oliver said and bowed his head.

“It is fine. Things got a bit heated, but we are having a conversation. Don’t worry about the people listening in. You are petitioning me. You. You want religion, but I cannot allow other public religions. While I can argue on a theological standpoint, there is a societal one as well,” I replied.

“What about mixed used spaces then? Like a school, that then is used as a church?” he asked.

“People ...

SL: Chapter 536 – Day 5,001 – Glorious Return

My airship swooped in from above, finishing off the monsters, chasing us, before passing over the wall into Purgatory. I enjoyed standing at the front of the airship, looking down at everyone else. I was their Emperor. Their protector. And to some, their demi-god.

It felt weird to think that I had arrived to this place almost 5,000 days ago. That was around 13.7 Earth years. Days were easier to deal with. Both for myself and others. It was a good way to separate Earth time and Systemic ...

CC: Chapter 32 – Going Multi-National

I didn’t think I pulled one over on elder Xu Xiaoli, offering profits, not revenues. But she didn’t call me out on this, which I was grateful for. Perhaps she didn’t understand the difference, which would be a bit dangerous if the confusion persisted. My hope was she had decided to treat the entire investment as a minor issue. Regardless I planned to give her detailed statements about the company on a yearly basis and make sure she was paid off.

Taking any risk about her backing w...

SL: Chapter 535 – Day 4,935 (Part 4) – Dinner Continued

“Thank you, Michael, for not forcing me into a war,” Michelle said as I polished off another burger. “I need to consider completely redoing how I handle things. Since capturing a level 7 won’t be simple.”

“Impossible in my opinion. A hundred minutes on something like the level 7 over there,” I waved my hand in the direction of the moltenlands in front of us. “I don’t have the stats for that. I can’t get close.”

“There has to be a combination, that I am not ...

SL: Chapter 534 – Day 4,935 (Part 3) – Talking With Michelle

A chair had been brought up to the second deck. I had a plate with three mystery burgers on it. One thing that I loved about fighting crazy monsters, was that it kept me in shape. As long as I kept up the grind, I wouldn’t get fat. I had a rule, that while I was grinding or fighting, I could eat whatever I wanted. While back in the city I would watch out for how much I ate.

The long break from all the curse damage had been annoying but necessary. In truth I didn’t need to eat that m...

SL: Chapter 533 – Day 4,935 (Part 2) – Reckless Round 2

Kicking off a piece of ground, I raced for the monster. Air Burst. Air Burst. I couldn’t afford to let it unleash a beam attack. While I wasn’t sure if it could track, I didn’t want to find out. “Die!” Its thought screeched in my head as it gathered up energy.

The amount of power was immense. This was exactly the kind of skill I wanted. Just one massive artillery strike to blow anything and everything away. If it could be prepared ahead of time, then that was...

SL: Chapter 532 – Day 4,935 – Crushing Bugs And Hell Lords

“Die!” I yelled out as I kicked off an exploding chunk of ground, twirling through the air, like a sub-sonic missile, and kicked open the Giant Centipede’s head. I snatched the crystal out of the air, before it fell into the churning terrain of the moltenlands as I continued to constantly move.

Shouting out ‘die’ was a way for me to alleviate my frustration. I didn’t mind grinding, I had done it a lot in the past, but fighting these monsters in this terrain was frustrating. ...

CC: Chapter 31 – Imperial City And Market Research

Going through the streets, I felt like I was back in a modern city. All the steel, glass, and grim looks from people moving through the streets. I had seen such sights before, but I was still going through culture shock right now.

There was a mortal doorman at the entrance to the 20 floor building. Rickshaws, carts, and people moved in a constant flow in the street behind me. “Name and purpose of visit,” he said in a bored tone.

“I am Yuan Zhou, here to see Zheng Ting,” I ...

SL: Chapter 531 – Day 4,911 (Part 2) – Viewpoints 48

Young Michael

“Time to get up,” I said with a bit of exasperation. Us lifers, got assigned to a new kid each to help them adjust. The first time it was interesting. Now it was a chore. Since I was the chosen child, I was assigned Laurance. At least the airship trip during the upgrade had been quite fun. A shame we couldn’t come back and see the huge battle. I heard it was epic and Emperor Michael was unstoppable like always.

Laurance had stayed up late cryin...

SL: Chapter 530 – Day 4,910 – The Old And The Young

Clarissa

I watched the plaza for when people would arrive shortly from Earth during the arrival. Normally the age of the arrivals range was restricted with a lower and upper bound based on the level of the city. Now that we had reached max level, it was time to see the age range of the people arriving.

The age of majority was 16 years old. But teens 14 years and older could request emancipation. Michael had brought that up as a point of why Qi Ji Long couldn’t b...

SL: Chapter 529 – Day 4,908 – A Child Or A Man

I thought back to the conversation I had yesterday as the Crystal Vortex flew to my planned grinding spot.

There was a knock on my door to my office. I would be leaving tomorrow, but there was one more thing I needed to handle before I left. “Enter,” I called out. Captain Francis escorted a Chinese teenager into my room. Qi Ji Long was around 16 years old.

“You can leave Captain,” I told him. He nodded and closed the door behind him. It didn’t escap...
