The old teacher continued his lesson in the amphitheatre, his voice echoing off the stone walls. “There’s a saying from Lao Tzu, ‘The world is a small place; you don’t need to leave home to see everything.’”

He paused, letting the words sink in. “Does anyone know why he said that?”

One of the students raised his hand and answered, “Because we have the internet?”

A few others chuckled at the response.

The teacher smiled gently. “Yes, but in the old days, they didn’t have the internet. So how could they see everything?”

Silence filled the space as the students, all first-years, struggled to find an answer.

“The answer,” the teacher began, “is the heart. The non-physical heart, where your feelings reside. This is the most powerful tool you can use to connect with the divine power. If you understand your heart, you can see everything in this world without ever leaving home.”

Another student, skeptical, raised his hand. “I don’t believe it. Can you prove it?”

The old man smiled. “Have you

    In one of the restaurants inside the Academy, which was bustling, filled with the scents of various dishes, a senior who had spent eight years studying on academy decided to teach his juniors.The warmth of the dining hall contrasting with the coolness of the evening outside.As they having their meal, the senior spoke, his voice carrying a tone of wisdom that had come from years of learning."In the whole existence, there is a God, the True Source of everything. And just as there is a God, there is also a Darkness, with a name that cannot be spoken."The juniors, who was listening intently while having dinner, looked up, curiosity etched on their face."Below God, there are Angels who work to control the whole existence. On the dark side, there are Fallen Angels, just as strong as them," the senior continued."From the True Source side, there are also gods, deities, or spirits. And on the dark side, there are Devils, Titan, Demons, Imps, and all dark creatures. And in the middle of i

    Panic spread among the other dark followers.“What happened?” one of them demanded, fear evident in his voice.“The curse... it backfired,” the stricken follower gasped, blood trickling down his chin.“How could this happen?” another follower asked, his voice trembling as he looked at his fallen comrade, dread creeping into his heart.The senior follower added, “If Alex has a more powerful demon or a demon guardian, the demon we sent to execute the curse would be terrified. It would abandon its mission and turn on us instead.”“I don’t understand,” said another junior follower, confusion etched on his face.“Let me put it this way,” the senior explained. “Imagine I give you a knife to stab Alex. But when you approach him, you discover he’s protected by a formidable fighter. The fighter gives you a choice: either die by his hand or return to your master and stab them instead.”The junior’s eyes widened as understanding dawned on him. “So the demon we sent to Alex chose to return and st

    One student quickly asked, "Master, how can we connect to the soul?"The old master smiled gently, the lines on his face deepening with wisdom. "There is a teaching from ancient Egypt about how to access the soul," he said, his voice soft yet resonant."And every one of you almost uses it daily."Curiosity sparked in the students’ eyes as they leaned in closer."What is it, Master?" another student asked, unable to hide the eagerness in his voice."Dreams," the master explained."Our body is physical, born from the earth, but our soul is life itself. It is like gods and demons in soul form—non-physical and eternal. When you sleep, you set aside your mind and physical brain. Instead, you operate through your soul.""But dreams are so random," one student murmured, a frown creasing his forehead."The randomness of dreams is always shaped by your desires and your negative emotions," the master replied, his tone now more serious."The more you crave and cling to these desires, the more yo

    Alex looked around, his eyes filled with desperation as he took in his surroundings.He was 10 years old and poor, his clothes ragged and filthy, his body a testament to the harsh life he had endured.The streets had been his home for too long, ever since the war had ravaged the land and left him with nothing.Life had lost its value, and he knew this might be his last chance to change his fate.He had heard that the King of Qin would be passing through the area, and if the king took a liking to him or offered him work, he could finally have enough to eat.The thought of a full belly was a distant dream, but one worth risking everything for. The alternative was certain death by starvation.As the royal convoy approached, Alex joined the others, kneeling on the dirt road as the king's carriage drew near.But as it was about to pass him by, something inside him snapped.He couldn't let this opportunity slip away. With a burst of adrenaline, he leapt to his feet and rushed forward, start

    The old master, noticing Alex’s bewilderment, smiled knowingly. "I wanted to show you," he said, "that the memory of the soul is much clearer than the memories of your brain. ““When you access the memories of the soul, you can see everything in vivid detail. The soul records memories in the aether, where they last forever, captured with a perception that transcends the physical."Alex nodded slowly, still trying to process what he had just experienced. It was more than a memory; it was as if he had truly lived those 49 years.The old master stood before his students, his eyes full of quiet wisdom. "Has anyone here successfully accessed their soul memories?" he asked, his voice carrying an air of mystery."I will grant a special gift to those who have."Silence followed his question. No one raised their hand. Alex, though he had experienced more than he could explain, kept his hand down too.He didn't want to stand out, knowing that drawing too much attention could lead to problems, a

    "Master, where is this place?" Alex asked, glancing around the enormous library with endless shelves and countless books."This is the place what people refer to as the Akashic Records," the Master replied."But the truth about this place is far more than that. This is the Plane of the Planning Dimension, where fate is woven, past records are preserved, and all possible futures is stored."Alex's eyes widened. "How can I access this knowledge, Master?""In this universe, always remember—there is never a free lunch," the Master said, his gaze steady."Everything comes at a cost. In our world, we use money to buy books or information. But here, in this realm, 'energy' is the currency."The Master paused, letting his words sink in. "In the past, people would sacrifice their life energy just to glimpse a few lines of the secrets of the heavens," he continued with a faint smile."But now, we can use our hearts to access the True Source Love or the source energy of everything, the Creator's

    Alex suddenly found himself back in the amphitheater.The old master had guided him through the Akashic Records, revealing knowledge that seemed endless for a hundred days of intense training.Yet, when he glanced at the clock, only ten minutes had passed in the real world.The old master opened his eyes, slowly surveying the gathered students."Is there anyone who reached the Akashic Record realm?" he asked, his voice echoing.Maladin raised his hand. "I reached the realm, sir, where there's a vast library full of books."The old man nodded approvingly. "Yes, you are correct."The students broke into applause as Maladin stood, showing off his arrogant face.Maladin then turned his attention to the rest of the group. "In this batch, Alexander Kingsley was said to be the smartest of his time, but it seems like he is nothing."Alex looked at the old man and used telepathy—a soul-to-soul communication that allowed them to exchange thoughts rapidly.“Did he arrive at the Akashic Record pl

    Alex looked at Eva. She was beautiful, perhaps one of the most breathtaking women he'd ever seen.Her beauty was only matched by her wealth, as she was the richest woman in the Empire since the Sharp family had been granted the exclusive rights to do business with ex-Draconia,ex- Aslan, and the Empire itself.This made her not only wealthy but also the most sought-after woman in the entire Empire.Before Alex could respond, Joseph walked up to them, his expression stern. "Eva, do you know this man?"Eva’s voice was laced with anger as she replied, "Yes, he was fired from the military and later became my sister’s bodyguard until a year ago, when he ran away with Crystal Gavin."“Gavin the traitor?” Joseph’s eyes narrowed. "You betrayed the Empire by supporting the traitor!""And you betrayed my sister!" Eva added, her voice shaking with emotion.Alex shrugged nonchalantly, “Alright, can I go now?”“No!” Eva’s grip tightened on Alex’s hand, her eyes flashing with fury. "You cannot run a

    Every gaze in the grand hall sharpened into daggers, piercing Alex like he was some audacious fool daring to spew nonsense before his in-laws.How could this impoverished Baron, a nobody among the elite, dare disgrace himself publicly?Worse still, he had the audacity to threaten cutting Ophelia D’Arcy from her prestigious family ties."What kind of lunacy is this?" murmurs ignited around the room, growing louder and bolder."The gall of this man!""Does he have a death wish or something?""Pathetic! Just as they're about to soar high with the Golden Guild, this fool wants to leap off the ship already? Absolute madness!"Viscountess D'Arcy fixed Alex with a frigid stare, her voice colder than a winter frost."This is strictly D’Arcy family business. You, Alex Leonhard, are no D’Arcy. Kindly show yourself the exit."Alex's jaw tightened defiantly, eyes blazing with fierce disdain."Believe me, Viscountess, I wouldn't linger another damned second in this pitiful charade.

    "People from the Guild are already here, seizing our assets as collateral," the butler continued frantically."The banks caught wind, too—they’re calling in all loans since our agreement with the Golden Guild was the security! We’re ruined, sir! Our capital is gone! Bankruptcy is inevitable!"Robert felt a chill run down his spine as cold sweat broke across his forehead. The world spun sickeningly around him. "We're finished…," he whispered, barely audible.Suddenly, Robert’s knees buckled beneath him, sending him crashing pathetically to the pavement. His phone slipped from trembling fingers, shattering into shards on the unforgiving ground. Crawling desperately, he clasped his hands toward Alex, trembling uncontrollably, utterly broken."Who… who the hell are you?" Robert’s voice cracked, a whimpering plea. "It was you, wasn’t it? You destroyed me!"The crowd gasped audibly, utterly astonished at the sight before them—the powerful Robert Carrillo kneeling pitifully before Alex Leonha

    The bystanders froze in their tracks, eyes widening and ears perking up as the cutting words sliced sharply through the air.Gossip—cruel, relentless gossip—was the sport of choice for nobles bored of their lavish parties and endless luxury, forever eager to mock and crush those already fallen.It had begun quietly, a whisper snaking through the elite circles the night before.The rumor claimed Ophelia D'Arcy had secured her coveted contract solely because she'd tangled intimately with Robert Carrillo.After all, how else could a mediocre figure like D'Arcy have secured a collaboration with the prestigious Golden Guild?In truth, the scandalous rumor seemed disturbingly believable.Robert, noticing the growing audience gathering hungrily around, raised his voice deliberately, theatrically, "Does anyone wonder why Ophelia D’Arcy managed to snag the Golden Guild’s contract?"Alex Leonhard's icy eyes narrowed dangerously as he hissed through gritted teeth, "Oh, enlighten us, Robert—why?"

    Alex felt a surge of deep satisfaction flood through him at Viscountess D’Arcy’s pronouncement, his tense shoulders finally easing with relief.Beside him, Ophelia D’Arcy's face blossomed into a serene smile, her long-held anxieties gently melting away.At last, the coveted headship was within her grasp.No longer would she suffer from scornful glances and whispered mockeries.Her parents, whose heads had long been bowed beneath the weight of ridicule, could finally stand tall, pride radiating from every pore.Viscountess D’Arcy turned sharply, eyes glittering with anticipation as she fixed her granddaughter with a piercing stare.“Ophelia, there’s something important I require of you.”“Of course, Grandma,” Ophelia responded immediately, her voice respectful yet wary. “What would you have me do?”The old woman leaned closer, her voice dripping with ambitious fervor. “I want you to personally invite Miss Jessica Golden to tomorrow’s banquet.”She paused, her eyes igniting with fiery e

    “Splendid!” Philip sneered, his voice dripping with sarcastic delight.“About damn time! You should've divorced Ophelia ages ago!”“Indeed!” echoed the chorus of the family, their voices merging into a spiteful symphony. “We’ve long accepted the necessity of you cutting loose from Ophelia!”“Yes, divorce her right this instant!” came another sharp voice, resonating with bitter contempt.The family’s collective pride had always recoiled in shame from the day Ophelia tied herself to Alex Leonhard, the poorest excuse for a baron anyone had ever laid eyes on.In the corner, Alex watched quietly, calculating.This uproar provided him the perfect opportunity to sever the marriage he believed had been forced upon him by the manipulations of the Demon King.Once freed from Ophelia, he would fulfill his obligation with the herbal remedy and then ride away to Miracle City, unburdened and unattached.Yet, amidst this chaos, Ophelia’s voice cut sharply through, startling everyone.“Marvelous sug

    “What? You—you actually pulled it off?” Philips stammered, his eyes wide with disbelief, panic clawing at his chest.The realization that his precious land would slip right into Ophelia’s grasp gnawed at him mercilessly.“Yes,” Ophelia replied happily. “I met Jessica Golden!”“No way!” Olivia sneered, her voice dripping venomous disbelief.“Absolutely impossible! You’re telling me you got face-to-face with Jessica Golden herself? Don’t make me laugh!”“Oh, I did more than meet her,” Ophelia replied with smug triumph, lifting her chin defiantly."Jessica Golden personally handed me the signed contract.”Her words detonated across the room, stunning silence gripping every heart.Philips slammed his hand violently onto the polished mahogany table, eyes blazing with fury."Ophelia, do you seriously think we’re idiots?” he spat viciously."Jessica Golden of the Golden Guild is a titan among the city's elite. Why in God’s name would she lower herself to even glance in your direction? Do you

    Meanwhile, Ophelia stood anxiously in the crowded hall, surrounded by people all impatiently waiting for their appointments.A few guests recognized her right away. Their eyes narrowed with contempt as they leaned toward each other, whispering loud enough for her to hear every cruel word.“Oh look, isn’t that the granddaughter of Viscountess D’Arcy?” one noblewoman said with a sneer, her voice oozing mockery.“The D’Arcy family has one foot in the grave, yet they still shamelessly show up here hoping to grab a piece of the Golden Guild project.”“I heard the old viscountess married her granddaughter off to the poorest baron in Haventon. Pathetic. And now she’s here? Maybe she should be peddling potions in the back alleys instead.”Those bitter words quickly drew attention, and the gathered elite cast scornful eyes at Ophelia, barely hiding their cruel amusement behind silk fans and smirks of mockery.Ophelia tightened her fists till her nails bit deeply into her palms.She muttered so

    Ophelia D’Arcy's voice sliced through the tense air like sharpened ice, her gaze colder than frostbite as she snapped, “I'm sorry, Grandpa Carrillo, but I don’t recall ever needing your help. And watch your filthy mouth! You're old enough to have grandchildren who are my friends—don't you have a shred of dignity left?”Robert Carrillo stood there stunned, his jaw hanging slack in disbelief.Rage and confusion battled across his wrinkled face. “Ophelia, I’m doing you a favor! Why are you still defending this worthless fool? Wake up and see reality—yes, I'm older, but I have wealth that could drown this pathetic bastard. What could he possibly offer you?”Alex Leonhard’s eyes flashed dangerously as he seized a glass from the table and hurled its icy contents straight into Robert's startled face.Dripping with chilling menace, Alex warned softly, “Better wake up, old man. Consider that a kindness—if I'd struck you with my hand, you’d already be dead.”“You insolent bastard!” Robert sputt

    Looking at her parents, who were mercilessly ridiculing Alex Leonhard, Ophelia D’Arcy let out an exasperated sigh. Her voice, trembling with emotion yet fiercely determined, interrupted the mockery.“Dad, Mom, stop blaming Alex for everything. It was my decision. I just can't bear seeing our family mocked and humiliated any longer.”“Haven’t we endured enough shame all these miserable years?"Her voice softened slightly, eyes distant with a glimmer of uncertain hope."Besides, grandmother won't accept any more excuses this time. Someone has to step up to the challenge. Who knows? Maybe fortune will finally smile upon me.”Ophelia’s mother, incredulous and visibly panicked, blurted out harshly, “Have you lost your mind?”“Even if your grandmother herself crawled on her knees, begging at their gates, they wouldn't even glance her way! You’ll bring nothing home but disgrace!”Her father's eyes hardened as he snapped sharply, “Ophelia this time you made a mistake.”From the sidelines, Ale
