Chapter 314 – Day 688 – Neo Brasilia And News

It had been a hassle, but it was done. I had managed to collect 11.2 million points in five days. Hope and Bao Wang would get 4 million each. That would be enough for them to have stats to survive a level 3 zone without me babysitting them.

They would be able to grind themselves up after that. I would invest a lot of the remaining points back into my health insurance, around 2.2 million points. The remaining 1 million points would be used to upgrade the city.

With Purgatory gone a...

Chapter XLV – Day 540 – A Brewing Situation

I had just returned from my trip to level 4 zones and fighting level 5 roaming bosses. I killed them one after another. It was difficult but possible. My Kung-fu had been refined perfectly. My skills had been brought into sync.

As power coursed through my body, I felt myself getting rid of the impurities left behind. While I would never deny how much I liked my Dragon Empire, I enjoyed the feeling of crushing my enemies beneath far more. Be it monster or human, it did not matter, only m...

Chapter 313 – Day 682 (Part 3) – Is It Even Possible?

“You want to fight your way through the Forbidden City?” Bao Wang slowly said and was clearly turning that thought over in his mind. “If you can fight the Envoy on even ground, then it should be possible. But the hardest part will be locating the Divine Empress and making sure she doesn’t return.”

I nodded at that. “That is the biggest problem. Everything else can be solved with force. Would the people rise up?” I asked.

“The people? There are only slaves and soldi...

Chapter XLIV – Day 23 – The Homunculus

I looked across the battlefield at the thing in front of me. It was neither human nor monster. It was something else. Its shell looked quite fragile. A fake person, a homunculus. The Astrologer should have been named Fleshcrafter instead. My army cowered behind me, completely useless. It was up to me to once again deal with everything myself.

It had been using rings to unleash devastating energy type attacks. But it could only have so many of them and I did not see a sword of any of the...

Chapter 312 – Day 682 (Part 2) – A Plan

I had two options. The first option was to attack the Empire and the Divine Empress by extension. To weaken it and drag it down. To become a rebel and fight every moment of every day, with my life on the line to find some way to kill her.

That route was one of hardship and suffering. There was only a small chance of winning, and even that chance sounded more like wish thinking. Trying to crush an evil empire sounded great in the movies, but in reality, it was daunting. If I was stronger...

Chapter XLIII – Day (1) – The Calamity

I was resting in my room. It had been hard dealing with one of the many things the Astrologer had done to me. I had underestimated the man. He would still die for thinking himself above me, taking responsibility for what he had done.

There were still residual effects I had yet to find. I could almost sense what he had done, but it remained beyond my grasp. While it was frustrating not earning crystals myself, my Empire toiled away to increased my strength while I spent nearly every mome...

Chapter 311 – Day 682 – A History Lesson

I had rested up and it was early the morning. I had been giving a lot of thought to Bao Wang’s information. It was bad. Incredibly bad. At least from the viewpoint of beating the Divine Empress in states.

With nine cities, she could easily have 90 billion points worth of stats for as long as she had been ruling. That was around 190,000 stat points. The number was mind boggling. That was on top of her meta-point.

It was obvious why I didn’t stand a chance against her. It was lu...

Chapter XLII – Day (1,029) – The Second Treaty Of West And East, Vow Of Vengeance

Rage coursed through me. All my advisors were kow-towing in front of my throne to avoid my displeasure. The Astrologer had managed to halt and then push back our advance. Already the battle lines were impacting our resource generation.

Our earlier incursions had been repelled. Now my Empire was on the back foot. I could not take the field against the Astrologer and was still trying to pinpoint exactly what he did to me. The challenge was that, while his attack was inactive, it was impos...

Chapter 310 – Day 681 – Easy Information Extraction, The Dragon Empire

“The women are used as sex slaves. Endlessly raped by the soldiers for their amusement. The ones that manage to survive long enough, they are shipped to the Forbidden City. There the Divine Empress and the Master Fleshcrafter alter the unborn children to serve her will.”

“The children are the harbringers of her will. They swept to the East first entering and killing off anyone they encountered. Then the soldiers. But I am skipping ahead.”

“The old and people who object a...

Chapter XLI – Day (1,043) (Part 2) – The Sword Of Stars

I shot across the battlefield. Kicking off the ground to constantly adjust my trajectory as I headed right for the Astrologer. Three of his Valkyries moved forward to intercept me.

I ducked under a sword swing. Jabbing out. Her armor took most of the blow and she went stumbling back. I didn’t hesitate to see the follow up as I struck out again. The war hammer hit my hand and bent. My other hand lashed out for her eye. She let go of her weapon and retreated.

The third Valkyrie sw...

Chapter 309 – Day 680 – Esperanza In Chains

We came to a stop at viewing distance from the city walls. I had Hope wait with the cart of supplies to the South of the city. I quickly made my way towards the gate. There were soldiers in black armor and black helmets.

It was like a teenage edge lord had designed them for maximum edginess. All they were missing were the random spikes. Oh, their boots, helmets, and elbow pads were spikey. Maximum edginess achieved. I walked towards the gate and counted 20 soldiers standing outside and ...

Chapter XL – Day (1,043) – War Of West And East

Explosions rippled across the battlefield. I sat on my elevated throne at the rear as both sides kept their distance and jockeyed for position to out flank the other side. Beams of various types of energy cut across the battlefield impacting trenches as I calmly waited for my true opponent to arrive.

We were holding, but not winning. The Astrologer had been sighted, but he hadn’t shown his face since I had turned up. It was annoying. My Lord General was observing at my feet and giving...

Chapter 308 – Day 679 (Part 3) – Viewpoints 29

Hope

Everyone else had run off. They said no one could survive the injuries Champion Michael had, but he was still breathing. I couldn’t just leave him behind. So, I had stayed. I couldn’t move him on my own. The weight of his armor was too much. I had been a uber driver and college student before all of this.

I had heard stories about him. How he allowed the city to increase in level. How he ate level 4 monsters for breakfast, despite monsters turning to dust...

Chapter XXXIX – Day (1,139) – The Power Of Flesh

“Divine Majesty, I have come to present the culmination of my research,” my Master Fleshcrafter said as I sat on my throne. He had been working hard and his results were impressive, but it appeared he finally made a breakthrough.

“My thanks to the Divine Majesty’s Envoy for securing the notes from the United City States. They were quite helpful in working out some key issues,” he said.

“If your research is promising, he will be allocated another 1,000 stats,” I calml...

Chapter 307 – Day 679 – I Just Want A Restoration

“I see the city wall,” Hope said. More beautiful words had never been spoken.

“Keep quiet and keep an eye out,” I said and continued to drag myself up the incline of the terrain towards the city wall. I almost paused when I realized I had made a horrible pun. Now if only I could weaponize puns. That would be the ultimate skill from a meta-point. Punny attacks.

That brief amusement helped keep my spirits up as I reached the wall. I levered to sit with my back against it and...

Chapter XXXVIII – Day (1,271) – The Imperial Court

“Lost,” I said calmly even as I raged inside. “We have lost an entire city,” I replied as my Castellan kow-towed before me. “I told the Lord to not engage with the UCS. What does he do? Answer me!”

“He disobeyed your will, Divine Empress,” my Castellan said. There was a quiver in his voice. Pathetic weakness. Both for his failure and his lack of ability to answer for it.

“And who is in charge of the city Lords? So that they may know of my great mercy and kindness...

Chapter 306 – Day 678 (Part 2) – The Bleak Future

Hope was clearly becoming exhausted as I dragged myself towards Neo Brasilia through the forest at night. “Acid Shot.” Another butterfly monster died. I was on full monster duty, since she could barely stand up straight.

We couldn’t have a talk to take our minds off things since I needed to constantly pay attention to my surroundings with my ears. That was the problem with only having one eye and dragging yourself across the ground.

I didn’t dare stop for fear, I ...

Chapter XXXVII – Day (1,565) – The United City States

I looked at the man before me as he gave a deep bow. “Greetings your majesty-“

“Insolent dog! That is Divine Empress you stand in front of,” my Envoy said as I sat on my throne overlooking the proceedings with distain.

Our respective clearing groups were at the boarder between our nations. There were conflicts and disagreements about the boarder. I was tempted to act personally, but the United City States had several cities under their banner, and I suspected a few people ...

Chapter 305 – Day ??? – Waking Up

I let out a groan as I woke up. Everything hurt. I began to cough, blood and spit came up. I could tell by the taste. I tried to open my eyes…eye, but I couldn’t. My hands moved down my body and I felt a flask. It was a monumental effort to get it free and open. I stuck a finger inside. The crystals inside the flask broke down.

I then began to quickly pour the water over my face. I aimed for my mouth and eyes, but it went everywhere, and I didn’t mind. I swallowed a bit, and my br...

Chapter 304 – Day 676 (Part 4) – Clarissa’s Escape

Clarissa

“Alert from the East gate, several soldiers turned to dust,” a runner rushed into my room and quickly reported.

Another runner quickly came in. “A woman in black and white was just seen approaching the plaza from the East.”

A third runner game in. “Critical death, Naran has perished.” I quickly stood.

“Omega protocol,” I immediately said, not hesitating for even a second. My personal guards rushed off and I immediately touched ...

Chapter XXXVI – Day (1,671) – The Son Of Heaven Versus Hei Long! Fight!

I strode into the city. I had trained and prepared. A new warlord had arisen, greater than the rest. He called himself the Son of Heaven and claimed its Mandate. I would correct him of his foolishness. For I was Hei Long.

“Halt!” One of the soldiers said to me at the foot of his palace. “No one is allowed entrance.”

“I am Hei Long. I will have words with your master. Step aside or die,” I said calmly. The eight guards drew their swords or prepared to make hand signs. 2023-01-10 00:03:01 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter XXXV – Day (1,822) – A Fight Against Death, The Mandate Of Heaven

I sat down on my cart and enjoyed my fish stew and rice. While it wasn’t cheap or easy to prepare beforehand, it was worth it after a hard day of work killing monsters. It was good to use chopsticks picking each and every piece up.

The city itself was a mess with various factions, homelessness, crime, and other rampant problems. But none of that mattered to me. While I was not one of the elite, hunting down level 4 monsters, I was close.

The number of stories I heard each time I...

Chapter 303 – Day 676 (Part 3) – These Eyes Can’t See Mount Tai

“The Astrologer uses a refraction null index of various layers of energy. By inverting the type and harmonics of certain energy types, he is able to align his movements and senses. My research into counter refractions combined with the various types of energy has yielded interesting results.”

“That is why the Astrologer trusts me. He is focused on getting another chunk of divinity as you call it, but he wants me to unlock the processes behind it, to create a new type of energy. Th...

Chapter XXXIV – Day (2,154) – Dark Deeds And Martial Power

I danced over the large boulders. I was pushing myself beyond my limit. But it was only natural. For even with the 200 stat points in Body I needed to not hesitate and to strike at my foes. The people stronger than me had been out here far longer. But they were lazy, weak, and indolent.

I was Hei Long and my kung fu would not fail me. “Hah!” I delivered a brutal axe kick on top of the black frog’s head, slamming it down into a crevice. Its mouth was out of position. I leapt after ...
