Piercer of Heaven (Chapter 35)

“Lin Xi, are you okay?!”

Suddenly, a tall, broad-shouldered young lady, more handsome than pretty, rushed out of the crowd of students. Coming to Lin Xi’s side, she showed an appearance of wanting to help, but not knowing how.

The protagonist, pale and trembling from pain, opened his mouth as if to say something, but no words came out.

“Soul Force can allow a cultivator to withstand a level of pain they are normally unable to.”

Xu Shengmo didn’t even look a...

A rewrite...

Hello guys

After rereading my dark son fanfic, i feel like it isn't turning out how i wanted. Among other things, I'm regretting setting it during the old republic time period. something i realized from writing my other stuff is that people arent necessarily familiar with lore outside the mainstream, so some of the characters will most likely be unknown to most of the readers. characters like clone wars anakin, ashoka, obi wan and those guys will probably be more fun for people to see d...

Dark Son of Mortis (Chapter 6)

AN: I wanted to put out six chapters of this before continuing Piercer of Heaven. Next chapter for that tomorrow.

-------------------------

About two weeks later.

The ‘Demon Savior’ of the Old Ways, a young boy around fourteen years old, stood inside the Spire—Zakuul’s capital city.

“Good grief…”

Lifting his circular cloth cap, he scratched idly at the top of his head.

“…how do people even make something like this?”

Dark Son of Mortis (Chapter 5)

Centuries ago, before the time of Emperor Valkorion, planet Zakuul was a savage, primitive world.

However, it wasn’t always that way—once, they were part of an advanced civilization, inhabiting a solar system a few lightyears away. Their home world was named Iokath, a beacon of technological advancement others could only admire from afar.

Their story was a long and tumultuous one, but its conclusion was ultimately tragic. A civil war, fought with tremendously advanced weaponry...

Piercer of Heaven (Chapter 34)

AN: Here's one for you guys, 500 words more than the usual. It should be noticeable, at least it felt that way when I reread.

----------------

Xu Zhenyan exchanged greetings with Leng Qiuyu and her friends. However, he couldn’t help but feel something was off—the three girls seemed uncomfortable and embarrassed, and Leng Qiuyu kept sending him strange looks. It was different from her depiction in the novel—reserved and having a noble bearing.

Not want...

Longer chapters

hello everyone

i promised you guys i was gonna do extra chapters, but... yeah.

i dont want to go back on my word, so instead, im going to be putting out longer chapters while i work on that. the average chapter until now had a wordcount of 1.5k, im bumping that up to 2k. hopefully after getting some practice and getting back into releasing daily, i can up it even more, maybe to 2.5k. however, i probably wont go back to my old 3k wordcount chapters because i had a ton of people at ...

Dark Son of Mortis (Chapter 4)

Though the strange-looking, bandaged creature cut quite the figure, the crowd’s eyes were transfixed on the space behind it.

Like taking a walk in its backyard, a small, at least compared to its companion, cloaked individual emerged from the shadows. From top to bottom, it was covered in black, and the space where its face should be was a dark, gaping hole.

Coming to a standstill a distance away, its gaze presumably swept the crowd, judging by their uncomfortable shuffling.

Piercer of Heaven (Chapter 33)

Here we go fellas, back on track!

-------------------------

After the lesson, the students were made to depart, except for Gao Yanan and Jiang Yu’er. Being the only two exceedingly gifted in Medical Arts, they received special instruction from Assistant Professor An until after sunset.

Currently, the twenty-something lecturer entered Medicine Hall, navigating the tall, multi-story building like a modern hospital block. On the middle floor, she found a roo...

Dark Son of Mortis (Chapter 3)

AN: I'm sure you guys remember me saying I wanted to get back to my regular daily update schedule. I can confidently say I'll be able to deliver on that promise from tomorrow onward. Not dropping Piercer of Heaven, so dont worry. But I do want to write this on the side, I get a story in my head now and then and I feel I have to write it, so this will be that...

The Dark Sun of Mortis—Chapter 2

Although he was from Celestial stock, the Son was still a creature of flesh and blood. Within seconds, the heat, emanating from the planet’s core, caused his skin to crisp and the fluids in his body to boil and steam.

Before he struck the red-hot, glowing magma, he’d already burst like a leather wineskin, held over an open flame.

Yet, although he suffered such things, he was not aware of them. It was as if his body and spirit were disconnected, the latter having been drawn int...

Piercer of Heaven—Chapter 32

After a brief, awkward breakfast, the Medicine Hall students assembled in a courtyard. It was a scenic, beautiful place, almost like a garden.

“Good morning, everyone, I’m Assistant Professor An. I’ll be responsible for your introduction to cultivation.”

A youthful, pretty woman with hair in a pixie-cut addressed them, her tone soft and quiet. Her expression was a bit vacant and absentminded, and she clutched a black book under one arm.

From his position near the mid...

The Dark Son of Mortis (Star Wars)

AN: You guys know me, always tinkering with something... I tried to resist the urge, but I'm too weak. At least, I hope this is somewhat enjoyable.

------------------------

On an average planet, orbiting an unassuming yellow sun, four individuals lived—a Father and his two Children, and a single female Servant.

They would have seemed like simple people, living a primitive, simplistic lifestyle. That is, if any wandering travelers ever stumbled across them...

Piercer of Heaven—Chapter 31

AN: It's a bit slow going, but I have hope the pace will pick up soon. I'm trying to cut down on the chapters-upon-chapters of filler.

-----------------------------

The Self Defence students, having already eaten, watched the other departments’ arrival. Naturally, Lin Xi and friends were among the spectators—Meng Bai, Zhang Ping, Li Kaiyun and Xiang Lin.

“I’m telling you, it’s better not to have such a big appetite.”

Meng Bai, seeing Li Kaiyun grow...

Updates

Hello fellas, sorry for being so inconsistent. I'm trying to get back on schedule after getting bad sleep for a few days.

I haven't forgotten about the extra chapters either, working on those.

Piercer of Heaven—Chapter 30

The Medicine Hall students’ journey lasted four days.

The first and second went rather smoothly. Though the youths tired and hungered, they rested and ate well before departing.

However, as time went on, those energy reserves that helped sustain them ran dry.

Blisters formed on their pink, tender feet and the wild onions, mushrooms and stalks they foraged made their stomachs cramp. Even under the guidance of seniors, gathering herbs and making ointment for their sores, the...

Piercer of Heaven—Chapter 29

The Medicine Hall elder’s words started a discussion among the students.

“’Awarded half a point’, what does that mean?”

Because of how tight-lipped Green Luan Academy staff and students were, not much was known about its operations.

Expecting the confusion, a senior teaching assistant offered an explanation.

“For doing noteworthy things, points can be awarded. The amount is determined by the level and difficulty of contribution. These points can be exchange...

Trying to write more chapters

Hello guys.

I'm trying to give more advance chapters to you, my patrons. Not more advance chapters, but more chapters per tier (2 advance chapters for tier 1, 4 for tier 2 and so on). So more free chapters.

It'll take a while to get it done, and I'll probably start doing in incrementally but anyways. Just wanted to let you know I'm thinking about you guys <3

Piercer of Heaven—Chapter 28

Glancing at the scrolls, Xu Zhenyan tried distinguishing them from each other.

‘I guess I’ll have to cheat.’

Unable to make out anything from sight alone, he resorted to spirit-sense. He was looking for Gao Yanan’s scroll, the one reading ‘Medicine Hall’.

‘…there!’

Excitement welling in his chest, he noticed a peculiar, icy ki. It was faint, almost non-existent and evaporating quickly.

Fighting to keep a smile of his face, he pointed at the scro...

Piercer of Heaven—Chapter 27

As the day went by, Azure Lake became more peaceful.

During the past few hours, academy staff escorted failed applicants from the area. The process was organized and careful, not letting anyone take chances.

During this, a one-armed old man went to stand by the lakeside, casting his gaze over the long, swaying stalks of grass and weeping willow trees.

“One does not need to be a Green Luan Academy student to have valor and loyalty, or to obtain glory.”

Though his vo...

Piercer of Heaven—Chapter 26

The examination only ended the next day.

The same black-robed lecturer who’d replaced the old, curmudgeonly announcer stood at the podium, a scroll in his hands. He scanned the thousand-something applicants, his gaze indifferent.

While the two-day assessment went on, those who finished were free to rest and socialize. However, they weren’t allowed to leave the area. For that reason, when the time came to announce those who passed, it only took a few minutes for them to gather....

Piercer of Heaven—Chapter 25

“Alright, put it back”

The black-haired man instructed Xu Zhenyan, apparently having seen what he wanted.

The youth did so reluctantly. During his upbringing, he’d precious little interaction with soul weapons, contrary to expectations.

“Give these objects a look. How should their lines match together?”

Suddenly, an old, hoarse voice spoke.

Turning his head, Xu Zhenyan spotted a grey-haired woman, her face lined and wrinkled like a raisin. Her appearanc...

Piercer of Heaven—Chapter 24

Xu Zhenyan really wondered what he was going to do.

The next part of the assessment, aside from determining whether one passed or failed, would sort students into departments. There were six—self defense, medicine hall, natural arts, statecraft, internal study and spiritual sacrifice.

Truthfully, which department one landed in wasn’t that significant since students could freely take classes from any department.

What departments did determine was ‘homeroom’ a...

Piercer of Heaven—Chapter 23

Xu Zhenyan entered the waiting room, giving the gathered students a once-over. Naturally, Leng Qiuyu caught his eye first, like a rose growing in a field of weeds.

The weeds in question were Lin Xi, as well as that pathetic piece of garbage, Zhang Ping.

‘I really wonder if I should just off the guy when I get a chance.’

It wasn’t that he felt threatened by Zhang Ping. Rather, he felt the title of ‘demon king’ was completely wasted on him.

‘But if I do that,...

Piercer of Heaven—Chapter 22

Eventually, the old man called another familiar name. However, it wasn’t someone Xu Zhenyan met before, but someone from the novel.

“Leng Qiuyu.”

A young lady separated from the crowd, immediately drawing everyone’s attention. A collection of silent gasps rang out from both girls and boys as they noted her appearance.

‘So beautiful…!’

Xu Zhenyan, even though he expected it, still felt his jaw drop. It was no exaggeration to say he’d never seen such a pr...

Piercer Of Heaven—Chapter 21

----------------------------------

Naturally, Xu Zhenyan was immediately aware of Lin Xi’s approach. In truth, as soon as the protagonist came within his vicinity, he noticed him. Given who the fellow was, it was impossible for him not to.

Picking idly at his bowl of ginger-pickled trout, he wondered how Lin Xi spotted him through his ‘ghost walk’.

‘As far as I know, heightened senses aren’t part of the reincarnator package.’

In this world, the ‘sixth sen...

Piercer of Heaven—Chapter 20

Xu Zhenyan barely returned to meditation when he heard more noise outside his tent.

‘For the love of…’

It was both frustrating and puzzling. He wasn’t cultivating per se, but if he was, the consequences of being interrupted could be disastrous. For that reason, the academy actually forbid students visiting other rooms after hours.

For novices, being interrupted at a critical moment could mean deviation, leading to coma or death.
