(AKJ)Chapter 37 - Petty people are everywhere

Damovotsk, Molkovia, Earth.

Demian's P.O.V.

In the bathroom, the young man took off all his clothes and observed his body more closely in the mirror. Admiring his own figure, he did not know whether to laugh or cry, as, his smooth skin was filled with ugly bruises, overshadowing his growing handsomeness. The only places unscathed were his hands and face. The former because of wearing gloves during the fight and the latter due to Bryn...

(AKJ)Chapter 36 - Finally healed up!

Damovotsk, Molkovia, Earth.

Demian's P.O.V.

Five days later, Demian was sitting in the bathroom with his upper torso naked. The three girls were around him, with the two sisters silently gazing at their mother's careful movements while the latter was gently removing the bandages from his body. Once done, she commented with some surprise on her face. “I still can't believe it only took you a week to heal from that kind of injury. Th...

(AKJ)Chapter 35 - The training resumes

Damovotsk, Molkovia, Earth.

Demian's P.O.V.

Once there, Sera moved naturally toward one of the treadmills she always used, before turning it on and starting to run confidently. As for Demian, he sat cross-legged close by and began to meditate instead of working out because of his injuries. And thus, two days passed by quickly with the young man's meditation session only interrupted by meals and a few hours in the day dedicated to lea...

(MNIBP)Chapter 36 - Five-Elements Fenrir Scripture

The Highlands, New Jersey, USA.

Ben's P.O.V.

As her information came up, Kate looked a bit embarrassed but Ben quickly reminded her. “Don't worry too much about your current cultivation Level. Cross and Marco were just lucky to have their 'Supe genes' activated randomly. That's why their Rank is higher than yours. As for me, I was a Peak human before breaking through and May is in a special situation.”

(MNIBP)Chapter 35 - The three recruits's cultivation information

The Highlands, New Jersey, USA.

Ben's P.O.V.

After a restful sleep, Ben woke up completely energized, but thinking wryly. 'Thank the Entity, I'm both a Novice Rank Warrior and I've got my physiology Perk, otherwise...' Gazing at the innocent-looking succubus laying on his body, he chuckled discreetly. The handsome man stared for a while at her captivating sleeping face before starting his 'training routine' while waiting for ...

(MNIBP) Chapter 34 - The three Perks and the Healing Serum

The Highlands, New Jersey, USA.

Ben's P.O.V.

When Ben and May arrived in the master bedroom, Ben closed the door, while the woman activated the device hung on the wall close by. Noticing Ben's curiosity, the raven-haired beauty explained. “Nat told me that there was something similar to that anti-noise gadget they used at our old place.”

A look of realization appeared on his face. His lips could not help but twitch however as he had a fe...

(MNIBP)Chapter 33 - The Cultivation Ranks

The Highlands, New Jersey, USA.

Ben's P.O.V.

“Good question!” Natalia exclaimed while clapping her hands once, before continuing. “The Ranks are simple. It starts with Mortal transcending which is everything below what we call superhuman. Then, you've got Novice, Elite, Master, Grandmaster, Legendary, and Mythical Ranks. The differences between each Rank are enormous. Or so I've been told.“

For a few seconds, the redhead had a ponder...

(AKJ) Chapter 34 - Learning about the Fighter Ranks

Damovotsk, Molkovia, Earth.

Demian's P.O.V.

After a night of restful sleep, Demian woke up feeling very energetic, unlike the previous day. He finally stopped feeling any pain from his injuries. At least as long as he did not use the muscles or stretch the skin in that particular area. 'I wish I had something to detect the improvement in my healing factor. Or even my overall strength. It'd be very helpful for me to plan things out......

(AKJ) Chapter 33 - Taking out the bullet

Damovotsk, Molkovia, Earth.

Demian's P.O.V.

When the group arrived upstairs, Adeliya seemed to sense his curiosity since she commented with a smile. “The two of you have never been up here, right?” They both shook their heads but kept silent. “There's not much to see, actually. I just didn't want you guys to bother my patients. Not because I care more about them, but simply because some of them can be rather tricky to deal with...

Changes and goal for 2024

First of all, I want to say thank you to all of you, and in particular all of you who donated money! It comforts me in my decision to keep doing what I love, even if I can't be financially independent with it for now. 

Second, Happy New Year to all of you! I hope you'll also find what you love to do this year! Maybe you already did, though. 

Third, about the changes. It's quite simple. In the coming weeks or even months, I'll increase your advanced chapter privileges. Wh...

(AKJ) Chapter 32 - Am I doing the same thing?

Damovotsk, Molkovia, Earth.

Demian's P.O.V.

Once there, the group of four left the car, with Demian briefly glancing at the sign plastered on the building that said 'Maximov's Driving School'. The building's style was in the image of the city's mainstream architectural style which was a blend of the Cold War era from the soviet side from his previous world and modern Western architecture, also from his previous world. A bit too cold ...

Merry Christmas Everyone!

I wish all of you a Merry Christmas! I wasn't supposed to write anything this week, but I found some time to write Chapter 32 last week, and Voila! There shouldn't be any more chapter this week though, but I'll be back next week!

See ya!

(MNIBP) Chapter 32 - The three cultivation Paths

The Highlands, New Jersey, USA.

Ben's P.O.V.

Everyone nodded at her question, prompting her to turn her body toward the opened hatch and put her left foot on the first step of the descending staircase. The following scene confirmed Ben's hunch as the group started descending the staircase two by two until they reached the bottom which was further than the man expected.

The ceiling should be around 10 feet (around 3 meters) from the ground wh...

(AKJ) Chapter 31 - Shopping is a necessary evil

Damovotsk, Molkovia, Earth.

Demian's P.O.V.

The SUV quickly took the direction of the closest shopping area from where they lived, which was less than 10 minutes away and located in the northwestern part of Damovotsk. During the journey, Adeliya, who sat in the front passenger seat, grabbed her phone and made a call to the driving school's owner while the others chatted quietly.

After a few minutes of negotiation, the ol...

Demian's apartment building in Harlem (Previous life)

Hello dear patrons! I've started using AI to make stuff so I thought I would share the images in my mind with you guys! In any case, here's the apartment building where Demian, or Damian, lost his life.

Enjoy!

(MNIBP) Chapter 31 - The reason for getting the car

The Highlands, New Jersey, USA.

Ben's P.O.V.

A sudden chuckle coming from the man beside him broke him out of his daydream, prompting him to smile and ask the other man. “Keys?” “On the ignition.” “Thanks!” Ben responded before walking swiftly toward his dream car. His fingers stroked along the hood until he reached the driver's door. He then put his right hand on the handle, pulled it smoothly to open the door, and finally embarked in...

(MNIBP)Chapter 30 - Finally arriving at the safe house

South Brooklyn, NYC, USA.

Ben's P.O.V.

Those words brought out a warm feeling from the depths of his heart. “Sure.” He said while basking in the presence of his closest people for a few moments before they were interrupted by the others' voices. The group chatted a bit before they all embarked in the three vans, with the Parkers and Agent 28 getting into one of the bulletproof vehicles with 28 driving.

Natalia, agent 25, and the new addi...

(MNIBP) Chapter 29 - Asgardian tech?

South Brooklyn, NYC, USA.

Ben's P.O.V.

Once she was done with the injection, she put away the item before continuing her explanation. “The pistol is specially made for 'normal' Novice Level Supes. Otherwise, a normal needle would have a hard time penetrating our skins.” As time passed, Ben could feel a growing itchiness where his injuries were located.

He could easily guess that the sensation was simply his body working in overdrive to h...

(MNIBP) Chapter 28 - The Ten Rings' appearance

South Brooklyn, NYC, USA.

Ben's P.O.V.

When the two heard the woman's voice, they simultaneously turned back to see three people coming toward them. Natalia had a cheerful smile on her face, but Ben noticed the relief in her eyes as her gaze fell on him, or more precisely his injuries. Behind her was Flint Marco with what Ben was starting to understand was his usual irritating grin.

The silver-eyed man did not know him enough to accurately k...

(MNIBP) Chapter 27 - HIgh-velocity bullets are a pain

South Brooklyn, NYC, USA.

Ben's P.O.V.

Pushing his perception and brain process to the maximum, the silver-eyed man felt like time slowed down around him, with Cross flying through the air not far from his own airborne body with brown scales spread all over his body, or at least on the parts he could see. On the side of the boat, or more like the ball of flame that was formerly a boat, a big part of the dock was taken out by the explosion.

(AKJ) Chapter 30 - How do we get the bastard?

Damovotsk, Molkovia, Earth.

Demian's P.O.V.

After an unknown amount of time, Sera's voice started resounding in his ears. “Babe, I've got a question.” To which he responded absentmindedly, still pondering over the new information he just acquired. “Yeah?” “I've been thinking about something... You didn't tell me if you could Soul Bond with multiple people...”

“I think I can, but why are you asking?” He tu...

(AKJ) Chapter 29 - The Organizatsya

Damovotsk, Molkovia, Earth.

Demian's P.O.V.

“Why didn't I remember that ring before?” He muttered, surprised as his gaze focused on the plain-looking silver ring he was wearing on his left ring finger. Shaking her head at his question, Adeliya replied. “I don't know... Now that we're talking about it I recall the time you bought it, but...”

She paused, switched her gaze from the ring to his face, and asked. “I'...

(AKJ) Chapter 28 - I decided to live with no regret

Damovotsk, Molkovia, Earth.

Demian's P.O.V.

“Alright, but let me finish taking care of your injuries. I don't want to be distracted while listening to you.” Adeliya instructed while fiddling with his wounds' dressing. “Sure. But didn't you say I would tell you while you dealt with my injuries?” Shaking her head, she replied. “That was before I saw the current state of your body.”

Nodding his head at the logic...

(AKJ) Chapter 27 - I can feel you

Damovotsk, Molkovia, Earth.

Demian's P.O.V.

The sensation was hard to put into words, but if he had to he would describe it like this: 'You spent your whole life alone in a small dark empty room and one day you heard one of the walls breaking apart. Once the sounds stopped, you instinctively walked in that direction. After only a few steps with your arms extended in front of you, you suddenly touched someone. And as if you and the ot...

(AKJ) Chapter 26 - His first Soul Bond Partner

Damovotsk, Molkovia, Earth.

Demian's P.O.V.

While the young man was enjoying the smooth feeling of her skin, he started talking, while Seraphine kept silent. “I've... Okay, I feel a bit nervous now.” Taking a deep breath, he resumed. “A month ago, after being knocked out, I got back my... My previous life's memories.” He then paused for a second, waiting for her reaction and expecting the worst.

Instead, he notic...

(AKJ) Chapter 25 - Why do you love me?

Damovotsk, Molkovia, Earth.

Demian's P.O.V.

After a dreamless night, Demian finally regained consciousness. Instead of opening his eyes right away, the young man checked his body state, feeling that his wounds were seemingly much better than yesterday, or at least the pain he felt from the small ones disappeared completely. As for the holes in his left side and left shoulder, although slightly aching, seemed less severe than the prev...
