‘Why does it always have to be some kind of arena?’

Zhang Dong found himself walking into an underground crime den that was in possession of a huge battle arena. The city that was already huge and housed multiple off millions of people also had a vast array of underground tunnels and structures.

It hadn’t been long since they left the restaurant in which he got into a verbal argument with Crimson Fiend. It was clear that this rather musclebound idiot was planning to kill the...

“You’re back?”

“Yes my Lord.”

“Is something the matter? Does anything require our attention?”

“I’m not sure, the state of the city has been improving lately, it’s mostly thanks to Lord Arthur’s managing capabilities.”

“Hah, well glad that all that studying paid off, they never let me do much besides read boring books, think they wanted to sell me off as a pawn to that rich merchant family remember? Luckily the girl never did fancy me too much....

“You dare go against the Phantom Devil Cult!”

“I dare! Why would our Crimson Fiend Cult be afraid of your little cult?”

“Little? You really have a death wish, brothers to arms!”

‘Why do these things keep happening to me…’

This was supposed to be the easy part of the job. He was already inside the outer city and ready to visit the tourist attractions. First, his attempt of heading out by himself was thwarted by his new cult members. He did not expect s...

Update.

Okay, I'm back to writing. US next release will be on the 16th and Runesmith will be on the 17th. Then we'll go back to the usual schedule.

Break for a week.

As I've said last month I'll be taking a short break due to the weather. So I'll be back to writing next week after 7 days, which will probably push the next few releases a bit back.

Runesmith: Chapter 254 – Angry Skeleton.

Congratulations, your Basic Runic Region skill has leveled up.

‘Level four already?’

Roland was surprised by the prompt after a certain sword dinosaur had been defeated. He was standing on the side with his hammer being used as a long ranged weapon. Close to the dead monster was Agni who was still ferociously biting into the dead creature’s neck. While he was still behind in levels the monster’s fighting pattern was already known to everyone here.

“He’s a dead man…”

“Stop, he might notice, you want him to kill both of us?”

Zhang Dong was looking at the hidden messages between two cult members that were a bit higher on the totem pole. They were now looking at a trembling cultist that was begging for his life. It was the same person that had interacted with the gate patrol and apparently the man he was impersonating would normally be mad. It was due to this person not being able to take care of the situation witho...

“I just can’t relax, what is that maniac up to? Should I just run and leave a body double instead? No… they would figure it out instantly…”

‘This guy is quite talkative…’

Zhang Dong was keeping himself hidden while looking at an old-looking cultivator. From a quick scan, he could see that the person was a middle stage nascent soul cultivator. His Dao was a mix of the people that he already faced and not something that he couldn’t emulate at this point. It seemed ...

“Well if you change your mind then be sure to inform me, we still have some time before it starts.”

“I will, Lord Arthur.”

‘That about covers the outside, now should I call it a day or try to get in…’

Zhang Dong looked was sticking to a large tower that was situated on the outskirts of this Demon City. There were six others just like it and together they created a hexagram formation. These towers looked more like occult monoliths and in each one, a nascent soul demonic creature resided. For him that could mask his presence, it didn’t pose a problem as the guardians were still unaware of his presence...

Runesmith: Chapter 252 – Fast progression yet again.

‘This Rapid Assembly skill is actually quite nice…’

Roland thought to himself while looking at the skill that had already leveled up to the second level. While it seemed it was poised for assembling things like golems or machinery with moving parts it also worked on his runes. It didn’t even use up that much mana but made the process of runesmithing faster by around ten percent.

‘The level up added another five percent, that would boost it up to fifty percent when I max ...

“Team Alpha reporting in, Patriarch!”

“Good, as you can see this place needs a lot of work, I managed to plug up most of the holes but those darn worms keep wandering back in…”

Zhang Dong had spent half a day clearing out the worm nesting space. The cavern was really huge and able to even hold large-scale ships inside of it. This seemed to have been a naturally formed underground cave that the sandworms just expanded even further.

He underestimated the characterist...

“This place is really a shithole…”

Zhang Dong gave out a sigh while looking at a giant sandworm attacking a bunch of traveling merchants. The monster in itself wasn’t that strong as it was on the lower spectrum of foundation establishment but there was more than one. The people it was attacking were fighting back and actually winning but this didn’t take away from the fact that this was a place not meant to live in.

He had ventured out of the coastal city and began his m...

“Agni, why are you still sulking?”

“Wooorf…”

Roland managed to return to his secret underground lair after almost a week of grinding. He had lost himself in the leveling-up phase due to how fast he was progressing. It only took a few days to get ten whole levels. While this rapid pace was also quickly declining he could see himself achieving level hundred fifty in under a month.

‘Could probably do it faster if I could just focus on leveling up…’

“W-we won?”

“How could these many monsters fall in such a short amount of time…”

“It’s all thanks to the new Patriarch!”

The people from the Onyx Moon Sect looked with awe at the massacre that took place. Even a single one of those huge monsters would have been a catastrophe but all of them were now dead. The whole shoreline was riddled with sea creature corpses that were filled with spiritual energy. To these demonic cultivators that could use the beast core...

“That's about it…”

Roland screwed in the last screw to the device he was assembling while Agni gave out a yawn. After clearing out the last of the monsters there wasn’t really much to do for him anymore. Even if they spent a week here the monsters wouldn’t respawn that fast. Thus the only thing he had to do was to sniff at the strange thing that was standing there.

“Be careful with that Agni.”

Agni moved his head sideways while looking at his ...

‘This is…’

Zhang Dong looked at his map, there he could see a reddish tint that looked like fog. It was an indicator that something that didn’t belong to this Empire was coming. They were coming from the dead sea filled with monsters that he had to pass to get here. The water elements were out of order and when floating out to get a better look he could see a massive tidal wave coming.

There was a problem here, the master of this area was no...

“What do you mean they vanished? How could that many grand demons just disappear? Clear this issue out before the Demon King notices, we don’t know what he might do if he finds out…”

Two nascent soul masters were whispering between each other while making sure that no one could hear them. Just a day ago some of their capable masters had vanished without a trace. There was a possibility that they had fled but it wasn’t very probable. After the new le...

“That takes care of the chamber guards.”

Roland relaxed while looking at the victorious Agni that was standing over two monsters that looked like crabs covered in volcanic armor. The ruby wolf wasn’t much behind when it came to fire resistance and with the added armor, the volcanic decapod had no chance.

The creatures in this part of the dungeon were randomly chosen and these were not the best of guardians in a tighter corridor. The most dangerous part about them was the hig...

Zhang Dong looked at the list of Daos that he received after absorbing the last opponent. They didn’t put up much of a battle as he was just too fast for them to react to. All of them fall to his blade and quickly had their nascent divinities absorbed into his seed.

It wasn’t a feeling he was ...

“Aye, he’s right, it’s just his luck that is terrible.”

After receiving a smooch on the cheek from Elodia, Roland was ready for the small one-man expedition. Next to him was his canine companion that was itching to sink his teeth into some salamander meat. Ever since getting back home, Agni had become restless. It was clear that he couldn’t wait to have another adventure with his master, jus...

The old nascent soul demon could feel life leaving his body just after receiving one hit. His ribcage was dented inwardly with a palmprint burned over his chest. He instantly could feel strange energy invading his body and it was something that he was familiar with. Yet it was too late for him to call out and warn his allies as his body was siphoned towards his attacker without him being able to resist.

Zhang Dong was right outside the giant pagoda and almost free from his recognizance mission. What he just needed to do now was to find a hidden spot and change his appearance again. Then he could start mapping out the island with his system to prepare the invasion plans. Perhaps even taking some time to l...

‘They really are overdoing it with the women here… Is this a dual cultivation sect or something?’

Zhang Dong had arrived at the large pagoda tower that was much larger on the inside. There he could see various young and old cultivators running around. The number of female figures was overshadowing the male ones. It also seemed that most of the people in higher places were men of advanced ages.
