Chapter: 46 - Artificial Sea After lunch, Eric and Meghan split up. Meghan had a full day with lab experiments and classes. Undergraduates get the least resources among all college students, taking turns to do experiments. They can not be absent despite doing nothing. Eric just made rounds in the administrative department, getting his student id, dorm key, registering for student lockers and gym. He finished the tour at the library, finishing the online orientation offered to students. When it all finished, it was four in the evening. He decided there’s no day like today to start working on the demolition. At this point, he figured the AI system that is using him has some sort of inner regulations. Digitization never allows you to take actions that are otherwise not permitted by the government. He can not dismantle a house he does not own. He really wants to confirm the extent the game can affect reality. At the same time, he wants to see how much information the system can dig up for him on authorized land aft

His girlfriend did not even have time to know his full name.Even worse, just as he turned to Meghan, Meghan turned to him with a very guilty look.“ My father wants to talk to you. He’s on face time. “ she said, extending her phone to him.Eric gave her an ironic smile.“ So does my mother. She’s on face time. Here. “ E

Chapter: 44 - Breakup a pair“ Then, do it, Father. Divorce mother if you think that is right. “ Eric egged on his father. “ You … !!! “ his father sputtered at him, holding the back of his neck. He is too angry to say anything else. Just like that, the quarrel between father and son ended. His father had never been one for long conflict. That’s a major reason for why he was held under the thumb of his grandmother. Eric thought of his past life looking at his father’s retreat . ‘ Just how blind I was to not see this undercurrent in my own family in my last life ? ‘ he wondered. His grandmother never liked his mother. Yet, he wrote it off to be a typical mother-in-law to daughter-in-law conflict. Their interaction did look very similar to what most of his classmates' mothers themselves were experiencing, just a little bit more intense. However, he should have questioned why his grandmother did not favor him. It is more than weird, given most asian grandparents would be biased towards their grandsons. Then the

Chapter: 43 - Divorce“ Alright. Today, do what you want. Tomorrow, I want to go and register at S-City university. Come with me if you want to. “ Eric told them. “ Come by for dinner at my place. “ Teddy told him before leaving. Eric agreed, and went home after doing his back home shopping. When he went home, his father was waiting for him, along with his grandmother. He had with him a few books in a bag. “ Don’t you know to come and greet your elders when you are home ? Such a mannerless child. Just like his wild mother. “ his grandmother scolded him as soon as he entered the home. Eric almost never took such a bashing quietly. “ Elders have to act like elders to be given respect. You don’t make a warm meal at home to welcome, nor do you ask if your journey was safe. What sort of elder is that ? That’s a robber, pretending to be family. “ Eric snapped back. “ Eric Wu ! What sort of attitude is that ? Greet your grandmother properly. “ his father scolded him. “ Look at him ! Look at him ! His uncle

Chapter: 42 - ReunionHe returned to an empty home. When he called his father, he realized his father was living at his grandmother’s home. Eric wondered for a moment if that might be the reason his father did not call ? Other than his busy schedule, his grandmother disliked his mother and themselves. So, probably his always passive father did not want to confront grandmother, thus, did not call them. ‘ Never mind. It’s more important to settle college. ‘ He called his buddies first. “ Yo, Teddy ? Still alive ? “ He poked fun at his friend. His friend has got bad grades and a strict mom. The stereotypical asian mom who can hit you with anything ranging from a slipper to rolling pin ! She also came from the countryside, a desert, thus was friends with his mother. Consequently, he is friends with the guy. All the fun in his life is a direct result of being friends with Teddy. “ Dude ! How dare you call me only now ? Do you know how worried we have been ? “ Teddy ranted on the phone. “ Worried ? Why ?

Chapter: Reborn DrowsWhile Adele and Neil were discussing these details, Orion and his subjects were busy as bees. The flame crystals brought back by Neil had been handed over to the Drow king. At the time, the most vibrant flame crystal was placed in a cradle, in the center of an altar. Five Drows surrounded the altar, looking at the circle pointedly. Orion stood in the head position, the five Drows started chanting. After a time, the Drows stopped chanting and looked at the center, where a flame crystal was placed. Their eyes are full of expectation. Nothing happened. The light of hope in their eyes dimmed at the result. Their gazes turned to Orion, as if asking if they should continue. “ Continue. “ Orion ordered. The king looked on emotionlessly, despite the turmoil going on inside his head. Orion’s newly acquired ‘King’ title is not steady yet. Most of the old leaders did not agree to support Neil, but Orion just pushed it through, by the virtue of providing food and a safe place for Drows.

Chapter: Barrier - Peace Sasha woke up quite late. she was lying on the furs in front of fireplace, like a kitten. She hadn't slept this well for a long while. It’s almost like a dream. Perhaps it was, given Adele was standing in the corner, staring straight at Sasha. Sasha wondered why she was able to sleep this well in the middle of a battle field. The answer was surprisingly simple. Because she was surrounded by family, and friends. Valerie fought with her life on line to protect Sasha, despite being a Snorc. Dan … he smelt like home. There are no other words for it. He was her only family, until Rudy arrived here, and probably would be her only light, when the world becomes cold and dark. Dan and Valerie's predictions about Snorc peace treaty being a ruse came true. Even so, the Snorc attack came far too fast. So much so, the defense could not even gather compleetely.

Chapter: The smallest crackNeil’s heart filled with unspeakable dread when he looked at the invisible shield membrane slowly covering up the temple. Every cell of his body rejected that shield with all of its being. Neil acted involuntarily. “ Retreat ! “ he screamed at the top of his lungs. His desire to take every last one of the elves with him powered his next spell. ‘ Collect ‘ Neil commanded with all of his being. His magic exploded, pulling all the nearby flame crystals, every last one of the flames whooshed out, becoming a red crystal as they rushed towards Neil. Neil, with Merlin on his back, rushed as fast as he could towards the portal that’s becoming unclear by the second. The space has become destabilized, and the time space continuum broke as the shield continued to cover the flame temple.

After their decimation of fifty priests, the priests ran away, and grouped together among them. They went for the necklaces of the fire priests, coalescing the necklaces with their own. “ Merlin ! Collect the red necklaces. “ Neil commanded. The next moment, the mana blade in Merlin’s hands vanished. He stuck to Neil’s back, while Neil cut off the head, Merlin collected the necklace. They worked tirelessly, decimating the priests. However, there was no end to them. “ Blluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrroooo

Chapter: Event Dungeon beginsWhile setting up camp meat just retrieving their modular home for Neil and Adele, it meant something far more complex for Drows. All the space mancers came together with their latest catch of space crystals. Then, they set up a hexagonal space barrier around a gigantic field, isolating the space from the time worm. Cosmos gave an unnecessarily long explanation, which could be summarized into ‘ this way, we don’t get sucked into the time worm’s belly accidentally ‘. The memories are cut off when Caspian and Xena enter the temple - however, at this point, Neil has come to a conclusion about one thing. They never entered the time worm’s inside. They only fought in an ephemeral space that reflected the fire temple, they did not go inside the fire temple exactly. However, the things he had in his hands are real. In Particular, land tokens have come up with real land. That means only one thing. That the real land tokens are still out there for him to grab. On top of that, he has s

There are many who excel in algebra, yet more who excel in philosophical nonsense, but there are very few who understand both. Zion was that rare breed. Forgoing all his golden fingers, this is one skill he acquired with his own two hands. The moment the whip surrounded himself, Zion cast a weight reducing spell on himself.The whip’s movement happens because of the swing of the wrist. Once this movement is done, the whip can not be changed from its course. The vampire had already used the right amount of strength for surrounding him.

Chapter: Bright ManorBright manor was a surprisingly small, yet lavish place. The gardens that lead to the manor are full of greenery, yet, one could see almost all the plants in the gardens are functional in one way or another. There are fruit trees full of foliage. They were cut and made to look pretty, but they serve half as decoration, half as food source. The hedges are full of lavender, which is currently in bloom. Sure, they could be called ornamental plants, but this variety is a special honey producing kind, which is full of nectar. The bees buzzed around the bushes, yet, the main walkway is free of insects. The principal of the town school trudged the walk way dejectedly in his best suit. He is thinking over the excuses he could make to the lord so that he could mitigate the effect of two students taking up skills before attending royal academy. At present, the school principal’s only saving grace is that he had never discussed the performance of students in front of the lord beforehand.

She paddled the raft all the way to the front, then got off the boat, stepping right on the reeds. She jumped on the reeds all the way, to create some bruises on the reed. Then, with a vine, she started threading the reeds into a bunch, one reed in twist. She pushed as much of the reed's body in the pond as she could, then she started working on the tops. Elephant reed, as the name suggests, does bear some resemblance with the elephants. Especially the gigantic man sized leaves at the end of the reed. Only, these leaves could not be cut without burning off one’s fingers, or melting metal. Fortunately, she has a blade which is neither metal, nor mana. She cut through the membrane exactly in half.
