Chapter 44: Confrontation

I am not particular when it comes to hiding immortal cultivation. Part of it was Kiana’s kindness. Another part is its futileness. There’s no point in keeping it to myself. I already resolved myself to change the ending of this world, for the better or worse.

Finally, it is the discovery I made two months prior.

It started with converting Kiana’s ‘gun-kata’ into spiritual qi compatible.

It worked.

Later on, I asked for ‘other’ cultivation systems...

Chapter 43: Redhead With a Mech

“Ah? Big sis ran an errand in the town.” “You can ask us to do it next time. It won’t take up much time.” I chatted with Seele for a while.

“Ah? Big sis ran an errand in the town.”

“You can ask us to do it next time. It won’t take up much time.”

I chatted with Seele for a while. Kiana remained dead silent. It made me give her a second look.

What I did not expect was her gaze. She is already looking at me. Our gazes met. Her shoulders jolted in surpr...

Chapter 42: Flying Sword

The flying sword is like a thin hoverboard. It is nigh-impossible to step on it without using [Cloud Seeking Steps].

I willed the sword beneath Kiana’s feet to float up. The burden started to appear. Lifting her higher consumes more spiritual qi and exerts mental fatigue.

Nevertheless, I can sustain it for a while.

“Oh! Can we do it outside? It’ll be uber cool!”

That is the beginning of it all.

Bam-!

Chapter 41: Late Stage Qi Refining

Ring-!

I was woken up by the alarm clock. My squinted eyes looked at the time.

7:50 AM.

My mind got fully awake. The soft cushion of the bed made it quite the challenge. I recalled everything we did last night.

After I ate the two apricots, I gave the remaining one to Kiana. She meditated as usual before going to sleep.

As for me?

I got too impatient.

I wanted to satiate my second dantian to the fullest. I meditated in qi c...

Chapter 40: The Right Way of Cultivating

Before I knew it, ten days had passed. It is currently March 27, 2012. 

“I think… you should incentivize these treats.”

“Hm?”

My usual routine with Kiana (i.e., eating outside) did not change. Rather, it only became more absurd.

Kiana’s breakthrough ten days ago caused her stomach space to expand to a black hole. 

Porridge? She will inhale it all in ten seconds.

Crepes? She fits ten of them all at once, like a squirrel.

Pancakes?...

Chapter 39: Spells' Convenience

The bright light outside indicated it was morning. It is hard to get a ray of sunshine within Siberia. The heavy snow and shitty climate change brought by the honkai eruption existed for a decade.

The next thing I felt was the cool sensation sweeping through my entire body. I closed my other eye and used my x-ray vision to take a look at my dantian.

It can be considered as automatic cultivation. The medicinal efficacy of the spiritual plant is blending with my automatic spiritual ...

Clarity gradually returned to my mind. The first thing I did was to open my eyes. 

“What kind of buff is this…”

Things became extremely clear in my eyes. Whenever I focus on it, my eyesight turns into a magnifying glass. It is somewhat similar to the times I had a fever. Only, it is very clear.

Chapter 37: Gacha? Again?!

I am strong.

Nearly three months ago, I was still struggling with basic exercises. Not only did I build up a body surpassing a peak athlete,I can also conjure spells that can drastically affect my surroundings. 

Coupled with my Sword Heart…

It’s not the time to be inflated.

“Fu…”

I looked at the bed opposite of mine. Instead of the typical Kiana glued to her phone, she is now actively cultivating. She sat on the bedside ...

Chapter 36: Diligent Tuna

“...areas that are off-limits to us. Keep watch for the signs… Cocolia Matushka told us about it when we first arrived.”

Looking at Seele who solemnly explained the ‘restricted areas’, I nodded my head. Her dark blue eyes focused on me alone. Her short blue hair, paired with a long sleeved white dress, made her look extremely stunning. The hint of blush on her cheeks made her... cuter.

It is my first time appreciating her looks seriously. I could not speak properly with ...

Chapter 35: Seele

I can recall Seele’s words in chapter… I can’t remember which one. It’s somewhere during the Herrscher of Domination. She always buys some stuff in a nearby city… or town? 

She mentioned how she could not afford to buy some cakes, and that she’s always given free food by the shop owners.

I mean, Cocolia holds a position within the Russian Government. She can afford to construct a research lab at the bottom of the sea. Why not afford to give them more allowance? View Post

Chapter 34: First Morning

“Hm.”

I stretched my arms. It is currently morning… 7:30 AM, or so the desk clock says. My cultivation session remained mostly the same.

I woke up at 5 o’clock and started a round of [Ten Direction Body Art]. My body, which became stagnant after the completion of the jing dantian, grew slightly stronger. The complex postures, breathing rhythms, and spiritual qi circulation is quite a pain to deal with.

Nevertheless, I carried on with completing it once a day...

Chapter 33: Future Plans

Cocolia’s story became more interesting to my ears. There are smaller details the game did not mention.

For example, Siegfried’s actions right after he left Kiana. He did not make a fuss on Siberia, but rather, the regions outside it. That’s how we came across Siegfried’s traces near St. Petersburg. 

Cocolia handled one of his governmental cases and knew about it. Her position as a high military official is confirmed as well.

As for the things after that, it bec...

Chapter 32: The Orphanage

It did not take long before the car we were riding went off road. Siberia’s most notable feature is Lake Baikal. In Winter, like now, its water surface turns into ice. Its surroundings are also covered with snow.

If it was my previous world, the snow would have begun melting. It’s a real hassle to drive in such conditions.

Due to the honkai, however, winter takes up most of Siberia’s climate. The remaining half, sometimes a quarter of a year, takes up the summer. That’s ho...

Chapter 31: Hiding Under the Lamp

A/N: The finale of "Achievement Hunter" is now uploaded on Webnovel/Scribblehub. This fic should be published by then.

Chapter 30: The Silent Duck

I thought for a while and decided to grab one of the sword cases. I held it with my left hand. My right hand became coated with a hazy silver light. A mere touch is enough to pierce through someone’s skin.

I haven’t tried it against other targets yet, but this should suffice.

Once I reached the front door, I placed the sword case against the door. My left hand opened the peep hole.

“Hm..?”

There isn’t anyone in front. An incredulous thought appeared in my min...

Chapter 29: Duck's Visit

Small actions tell a lot of stories.

Kiana may have quite a lot of bad habits, but she is street smart. Without using the black card, she managed to sleep on the streets and eat. She is observant enough of her surroundings—to people.

She might not be the best judge of character, but she can differentiate blatant ill will and genuine sincerity.

That is what Kiana saw on Shi Tian.

For some reason, she saw a sincere look on him. She does not know if it was prot...

Chapter 28: Taixu True Spirit

The incident in Irkutsk was a big deal.

Keyword: was.

It is forcibly suppressed by government agents (i.e., Schicksal) later on. The scene of someone killing off goons in broad daylight is too shocking. There is also the arson incident where one person got burned to death.

It helps that Siberia is half-closed to the outside world. The presence of news reporters here is minimal.

In the end, it was reported as a shooting incident involving arme...

Chapter 27: Learning, Xianxia Edition

For the nth time, Kiana arrived while Shi Tian was in the middle of his cultivating session. She saw something different this time, though.

“Ow!”

She thought something had gone in her eyes. She rubbed it off and found nothing.

“Ow!”

It happened again when she intently stared at Shi Tian. Staring at him would cause a slightly painful sensation. His literal aura is so sharp it can affect things.

Simultaneously, Kiana sensed the transparent blue gas...

Chapter 26: Sword Heart

“Huff…”

I took another deep breath. My entire experience today was a rollercoaster. It cost me a lot mentally.

It’s around… what?

Oh. 11:38 AM. It’s still the afternoon?

The entire chase felt like hours. From rescuing Seele up to driving outside the city, it took less than fifteen minutes. 

I do wonder how Bronya got here, though. 

I looked at them through the back mirror. Bronya is hugging Seele. The latter is crying, it seems.

White hair, cocky look, and a business suit.

Shi Tian turned out to be right. The masked men inside the tinted blue van are kidnappers.

“How many times did I tell you? As long as he steps inside a precinct, we can get him out safely!”

Its driver, the boss, had his mask removed. He dislikes it whenever he’s driving. He did not have any hair. Several piercings could be seen on his right ear. Everyone who sees him will move away from his path.

Chapter 23: Kidnapping? Kidnapping!

Kiana stared at the newly bathed Shi Tian. He sat on the bedside across the couch. She could see some similarities from the previous him, but growing up by two years in a single night is still shocking.

He no longer looked like a kid. His height almost caught up to hers. His peaceful look held a specific charm. His mental age matched up his physical age better.

“He grew up.”

That wasn’t her main point.

The entire day passed without us doing much. Kiana took the initiative to sight-see. I followed her lead and got to know more things in this city. A single day is not enough to explore all of it.

She regained her typical carefree, “whatever works” self. I am glad to see this.

She shouldn’t feel responsible for me.

I opened my eyes in an instant. My heart sank. The familiar ceiling greeted my eyes.

Wait, ceiling?

My breathing is disordered. I was killing a dozen zombies in a minute. Kiana appeared, killed off the incoming few, and we started running away.

The details are very chaotic. Vague, even. 

Turns out, it’s just a dream.

Something struck my cheek. I looked at it and saw a white foot pressing on me.

Chapter 19: Two Lives' Differences

It took some time to clear out most of the zombies. The ones who fell amounted to one in ten people. If there are a hundred people, ten of them become undeads. That is resulted by their initial exposure to the honkai.

If I did not halt the honkai eruption with the magical [Two Phase Art], maybe 90% of this town would have already turned into bloodthirsty maniacs.

Considering Schicksal or Anti-Entropy… heck, even the military can arrive. We chose to leave immediately after we kil...

Then, I saw it. A woman is grotesquely bitten to death by a man. Vague purple lines can be seen on his neck. Blood splattered in his mouth and coat.

Once the MANTISes’ strength was revealed, it became a stabilizing beacon....
