Death of a Soldier, Birth of a God
The sky hung dark, almost metallic, weighed down by heaps of smoke that choked out the sunlight."Hold the line! Don't let them breach the perimeter!"Kael shouted orders through the roar of exploding shells. Crouched low behind a chunk of shattered concrete, his gear soaked - mud mixing with sweat and the blood of those he’d fought beside for years. Not just soldiers - he saw them as family. Named leader of the Ghost Squad, handpicked from the toughest fighters around. Supposed to be unstoppable.Yet now, they’re dropping fast.Chief! We’ve got no bullets left!” a kid soldier named Jax shouted from the ditch nearby. His shaky fingers clutched the useless gun. “Where’s that rescue rider? Shoulda showed up way before now - been over twenty minutes.”Kael bit down hard, then jabbed at his comm piece. Crackling filled his head - sharp, sudden, relentless."Command this Ghost One," Kael barked into the mike. "We're pinned down in Sector 4. Casualties are at eighty percent. Immediate evac

The First Kill
Fading from Kaelen’s chest came a glow - warmth throbbing inside. Not sharp or scorching, just heavy heat crawling beneath his flesh, moving slow with each thump of blood. Instead of fire, it felt thick - like molten rock seeping through veins.Kaelen dropped to his knees, gasping hard. It felt wild. Seventeen years - this frame stayed wrecked, couldn’t keep a hint of energy till this second when power ripped inside like it might tear everything apart."System," Kaelen bit through his teeth. "Status report. What is going on with me?"[Responding to host. The 'Old Dragon Bone Training Method' reshapes your body slowly - melting out weaknesses while hardening bones like dragonhide, one piece at a time.][Progress: 40%... then 60%... now full at 100%.][Reconstruction complete.]Kaelen hit the ground face-first, hands vanishing into soggy earth. Sweat streamed down, drenching what was left of his ragged blue cloak. Totally wiped out, he suddenly felt something wild - pure power surging t

Crashing the Party
The moon floated above, a ghostly orb watching silently over the wide city - heart of the Azure Dragon realm.Kaelen moved down the dusty path leaving the Shadow Forest behind. Though his robe used to mean status, it hung in tatters - muddy and marked with old boar gore. Wind swept through his tangled hair under the dim sky. Anyone seeing him might’ve thought he was just some runaway scraping by after ruin.Yet how he walked said otherwise.He wasn’t dragging his feet like someone who’d lost. Instead, he glided - steady and sharp, like a wild cat hunting. Each footfall was careful, quiet, purposeful."According to Kaelen’s memories," he thought, analyzing the map in his head, "the Vance Estate is just past the Merchant District."While moving ahead, folks on roads gave him dirty looks - horses turned aside, avoiding the so-called beggar. He paid no attention. Thoughts stayed locked onto the screen flickering at the edge of his sight.[Current Quest: Return to the Clan.] [Objective: Re

The wager of Life and Death
The quiet inside the old hall pressed down like it could break you.Hundreds of eyes stayed locked on Kaelen. A few showed fear, believing he’d come back as a spirit seeking payback. Others looked lost. Yet the figure perched on the tallest seat - Lord Magnus Vance, head of the family and Kaelen’s dad - just stared with quiet, sharp focus.You’re breathing,” Lord Magnus said. Not with joy - just dull, like someone announcing a score. No dash forward to grab his boy. Didn’t wonder if he was bruised or broken. Just laid it out plain.“Let down, Dad?” Kaelen said - voice thick with mockery.Lord Magnus narrowed his eyes. "Watch your tone. You have interrupted a sacred ceremony. If you are alive, you should have sent word, not barged in here like a bandit.""I was a bit busy," Kaelen replied, stepping over the shattered remains of his portrait. "Climbing out of a grave takes time."Darius, now back on his feet after being stunned, moved ahead. Yet his good looks turned hard with fury. Sti

Hunter and Prey
The Shadow Forest got its name from more than just the trees. Instead, it came from how dark clung low, gobbling up whatever moonlight slipped through.Most growers stayed away after dark. Since the creatures came out then - mean, active at night, moving together in groups. Yet Kaelen didn’t see risk. To him, it felt more like a free meal pass for leveling up.Kaelen slipped between the low branches without a sound. After ditching his ripped noble clothes, he knotted the sleeves at his hips so his arms could move easy. Sweat shone on his torso, showing off tight, wiry strength."System, scan for targets," Kaelen commanded.[Checking...] Target spotted - 50 meters up north. It’s a Wind Wolf, rank two"Only Level 2?" Kaelen frowned. "That won't be enough."He had to close a three-part gap in just 72 hours. Taking out weak enemies wouldn’t work this time. So he went after top-tier beasts instead.He headed north regardless. Out of nowhere, a Wind Wolf stepped into the open - coat dull, t

The Dragon’s Inheritance
The cave felt chilly, yet wet - nothing like the sticky woodland breeze carrying traces of iron. Moisture clung to stone surfaces, while patches of soft-glowing moss cast ghostly green flickers across cracks and corners.Kaelen stepped slow, eyes glowing with the power to see through lies. Though the beast called Shadow Stalker Panther lay still on the ground, he figured threats liked sneaking up when things seemed safe. Quiet spots? They usually meant something worse was waiting.The sticky-sweet smell, almost like medicine, got sharper each time he moved forward. Not quite honey but close - mixed with something sharp like storm air - it rushed into his chest, shaking off the fog in his head."System, analyze the air composition," Kaelen whispered.Check shows strong Yang energy here. It’s coming from up ahead - about twenty meters awayKaelen turned a tight corner in the passage then paused.The cave widened into a round room, tiny and quiet. At its heart stood a short rock platform

The Price of Arrogance
The broken pieces of the blade dropped onto the rocky ground, ringing softly - almost like mournful chimes at a burial.Darius gaped at his bare palm, mind blank after the sudden turn. The blade - made of Blue-Steel - could cut stone without effort. Still, Kaelen broke it clean, like brittle wood in winter.You...” Darius staggered backward, confidence gone - just raw terror now. “What in the world are you?Kaelen stayed silent. Instead, he shifted forward.He skipped the complex moves. Instead, he drove upward using raw power. The rock under him cracked from the force.Boom!Before Darius had time to react, Kaelen slipped past his defense."Since you like to use your fists on those weaker than you," Kaelen said, his voice cold and flat, "let’s see how you take a punch."Kaelen drove his fist into Darius's gut.A loud snap echoed when Darius’s costly metal chest piece folded up like paper. That power kept going - ripping past bone, squashing insides."Gahhh!"Darius gasped, his eyes w

The Cursed Blade
The stroll toward his room took forever - yet, outta nowhere, Kaelen moved forward like he finally mattered.Beyond him, the Grand Arena erupted in disorder. Shouts from Elder Boran rang out, furious, calling for Kaelen to be taken. Yet amid the noise came Lord Magnus - his dad - cutting through, shutting the old man down."Darius lost," Magnus had said, his voice cold and final. "In our world, the winner takes everything, and the loser eats dust. Darius is now a cripple. Kaelen is the Heir. If you touch him, you defy the clan."Kaelen grinned. Practical guy, really. Doesn’t matter to him who I am - just that I’ve become the top runner in his barn right now.Kaelen reached his yard. Nestled in the far edge of the property, it looked worn out - chipped paint, wild grass poking up between broken boards. This wasn't some noble’s chamber; just a worker's hovel, really."This dump," Kaelen kicked the rotting wooden door open. "I’ll have to move into the Heir’s Pavilion tomorrow. But for no

The Sword Feeds
The moon was hidden behind thick, bruised clouds, plunging the Vance Estate into darkness. It was the perfect night for murder.In the secluded courtyard where Kaelen lived, the wind rustled through the overgrown weeds. To the untrained ear, it sounded like nature. To a veteran soldier like Kaelen, it sounded like footsteps.Five shadows moved across the tiled roof of the dilapidated shack. They were dressed in tight-fitting black leather, their faces covered by masks depicting a hissing viper. They moved with absolute silence, their breathing controlled, their Qi suppressed to be undetectable.These were the Black Viper Assassins. They weren't cheap thugs; they were professionals hired to erase problems.On the roof, the leader of the squad signaled with two fingers. Target inside. Kill on sight. Make it look like a cultivation deviation accident.The assassins nodded. They drew their weapons—short, curved daggers coated in paralytic poison.They dropped from the roof, landing in the

Breakfast with the Dead
The sun climbed above the Azure Dragon lands, spilling soft gold across the Vance family grounds. High up in old oaks, birds called out while breezes carried jasmine from hidden corners of the garden. Peace hung thick in the air that day.A quiet moment broke - suddenly, a shout rang out."AAAAHHH!"A girl servant let go of her clothes bin, fingers darting to her lips while gazing at the central yard.Most times, folks trained here at dawn or met up with kin. Right now, though, the place smelled like raw meat and blood.In the middle of the yard, just before the stairs to the old hall, lay a disturbing heap. A stack of four lifeless figures - bodies without heads - piled up tight, one over another, almost orderly. Shredded black armor clung to their frames, torn and ragged. On top sat their snake-like masks, carefully arranged, empty eye sockets gazing ahead.Murder! Someone killed a man at the big house!" she yelled, stumbling back fast.In moments, the yard filled up fast. Soldiers
