"Don't allow the unholy beast time to recover! Charge in! For Solaria!"
A platoon of knights, their armor adorned with the symbol of the sun, valiantly rushed forward to confront the menacing creature. Behind them, a smaller group of priests chanted sacred incantations and summoned golden spears of radiant light. Each priest extended their hand, directing the beams of divine energy toward the approaching monstrosity.
The creature, despite its injuries and being greatly outnumbered...

“Bob… are you in there?”
“... Assuming control of the autonomous overseer puppet designation number 52384… “
“I guess I got my answer, is everything proceeding well? Or do we have to move on to plan C?”
“Processing, please wait…”
“How reassuring…”
Zhang Dong gave out a big sigh while moving his neck away from the sharp blade-like arm. His blood was staining the appendage but luckily it had not reached his jugular. As Bob assumed contro...

“But if I don’t do something…”
The ceiling above rumbled as the frantic Bernir searched for a suitable weapon for the occasion. The testing facility housed numerous runic devices capable of harming even the most formidable monsters and causing significant damage to city blocks. However, amidst the current chaos, he found it challenging to make a choice.
“I don't think this will be much help..."
Bernir raised a substantial o...

The strain on Zhang Dong was immense. With each passing moment, the Overseer puppet's resistance grew stronger, its form warping and changing in desperate attempts to break free. Its sickle-like appendages thrashed about, aiming to strike at Zhang Dong, who was doing his best to fend off the attacks while maintaining the delicate balance of his own cultivation.
The meadow quaked as the puppet tried to free itself from the hold. The intricate formations glowed brightly, struggling to con...

Zhang Dong could feel it - the white seed that he had nurtured for three hundred years was finally cracking. From within these cracks, a strange aura that he didn't fully understand began to radiate as something slowly emerged. A tiny white sprout started to emerge, taking root inside his very soul. It was really small, but the spiritual force that it generated was unlike anything found within this world.
As the sprout continued to grow, the meadow around Zhang Dong seemed to come alive...

The searing, blazing sun engulfed the imprisoned eldritch horror, and its writhing, monstrous form was consumed by the intense heat. The monster's deafening roars turned into agonized screeches as it desperately attempted to break free, but the combination of the magical prison and the searing flames made it a grueling endeavor.
The immense ball of flames illuminated the entire compound, creating a light so intense that it seemed like daytime. Armand, Lobelia, and Aurdhan stood there wi...

The two looked at each other with love in their eyes. There was not much left to say; everything had already been discussed. Zhang ...

The horrific incantation continued to flow from Ozrelak's lips, the words an unholy and blasphemous chant, echoed through the whole compound. A sinister aura enveloped the area as the warlock started to transform. His body twisted and contorted, morphing into a nightmarish tumor of flesh and strange appendages.

A woman's eerie laughter filled the air as her body was lifted off the ground. A dark, s...

‘There are a lot of them… To think that someone like me would have had such a big family circle…’
Zhang Dong's thoughts transported him back to a time before he had arrived in this world. Before that strange email had changed the course of his life, he was just an ordinary person leading a solitary existence, stuck in a dead-end job. His previous family had been something he felt he didn't quite belong to.
During those family get-togethers, he often found himself on the ou...

A profound sense of pride and accomplishment welled up within Zhang Dong as he watch...

Zhang Dong continued to play the role of someone ensnared by the time-stopping technique, maintaining an appearance of vulnerability while his mind raced with thoughts and plans.

Its movements were deliberate and methodical, as if it were conducting a thorough inspection.
