The Urban Dao Child. Chapter 170
Advertisement
The night passed in silence. Yang Dao spent the whole time meditating and sorting out the clutter in his mind. What Feng Yun said to him in the evening left a deep impression. The cloudy sky outside was the reflection of his heart and soul.
Slowly as the night passed the wind of growth washed over the world and the boy, clearing away the clouds and his heart at the same time. The next morning, he opened his eyes, shining with sparkles. They were clearer than ever. He stood up from his spot, took a shower, changed into fresh clothes, and went outside his room.
It was early, given Feng Yun and the other's routine they were still meditating. Yang Dao entered the kitchen made himself a simple meal and started to eat in silence. The maids saw him and wanted to approach but the calm atmosphere was so satisfying that they restrained themselves from disturbing the scene.
After breakfast, the boy stood up and said to one of the maids, "Please tell the others that I have gone to the office." the maid nodded and Yang Dao walked outside. He spotted Lisa working in the garden.
She also noticed him. She smiled and bowed to him, the boy returned the smile and after a nod, he continued forward. He drove his car to the office.
...
When the rest of the people gathered at the dining table the maid told Feng Yun that the young man has already left home for an hour or so. Atsuji Kurogame asked, "Xiao Yun, did you went a bit too hard on him yesterday?"
Feng Yun only replied, "Sometimes we need to be hard on him. Too much affection and pampering will only spoil him and distract him from his path in the future. He needs to realize that only with determination and focus can things be done otherwise, they vanish in the air like a puff of smoke before you even know."

Ryu Jinshi nodded and supported her action. He said, "Have him enroll in the assassination circle. He needs to temper himself also time has come to start punishing the sinners."
Laohu Bai sighed and said, "We have some military assignments for him too. But he needs to compete in the inter-college tournament before that. Yesterday his friends told me that he is now a member of the cycling team and they only have few weeks before the competition. I think we can let him travel after that."
Atsuji Kurogame nodded, "So it is decided, let the young man go out after his competition."
The people were planning to guide the Dao Child of further training the person himself was sending off two girls back to college and taking Frieda to the lab. he intended to have the work done and dusted within a week.
Freida was more than happy with this. The two people came to the lab and Yang Dao entered the lab without much nonsense. Yurika saw this and shook her head. mary asked, "Why do I feel like he is different?"
Yurika shook her head and said, "This is how he used to be back in the Bell City. Focused and sharp. He would seldom talk to others and just drown himself in work to complete his goals. Something must have happened yesterday that made him like this. But don't worry he is normal. We should start working as well Sister Mary. I don't want to lose my bonus."
Mary chuckled and the two people started to work.
...
In the lab, Yang Dao sat in front of a Computer and was inputting the data in the 3D printer to make the parts he needed. Frieda was contacting a few people to enquire about the motor assembly and the battery components for their robot.

After an hour she was done contacting 3 vendors, who sufficed their needs and placed the orders. These vendors were small companies but they did good work. She informed Yang Dao about this.
The boy took advantage of the time, while the printer was printing the parts he went to Mary's office.
Mary asked, "What is it, Boss?"
Yang Dao replied, "Acquire Swift Electronic, Power Command, and Chipset Nation. Do not change the name and the management but have the three bosses here in the building. I will hold a meeting with them. I want this done by the evening."
Mary did not understand his logic but she nodded. She asked, "What about the funds, the rest is already involved in investing."
The boy said, "Mobilize the funds from Paradise hotels. Anything else?" his calm voice held so much commanding aura that Mary felt scared and shook her head.
The boy nodded and walked back to the lab. Mary said, "These two siblings sure take after each other." sighed and started to do what the boss had just told her.
...
Yang Dao came back to the lab, he and Frieda assembled the parts they have been talking about and needed to be included in the bot. The two people were going through a lot of combinations of tools and placements.
They did not notice that the sun has come down. Suddenly the door was knocked and Yurika popped in her head. She said before the boy can say anything, "The three companies are acquired, their bosses are waiting in the conference room."
The boy took a deep breath and nodded. He left the arrangement to Freida and followed Yurika to the conference hall. Three middle-aged men sat there waiting for him. The boy walked in the room and said, "Thank you for coming over, I can guess that you would like to hear why I acquired your companies?"
The three men nodded. The boy spoke, "The answer is simple, I will make you the richest and the biggest names in your field. Do you believe me?" his tone was confident but the three people had also researched the person they were meeting.
Given his achievements, only a fool would not believe him. The three people nodded and Yang Dao briefed them about his plan.
The three people nodded and assured him to meet his requirement completely. After that, they left. Yang Dao was now rushing to the completion of his first goal, Getting a foothold in the market.

Reinventing the Struggle
The (sort of) original working title for this was "Reincarnated into a neo-feudal world of mecha knights, I will reinvent the panzerkampfwagen and mess up the social political order!" or something along those lines. And honestly that's a good enough synopsis given the nature of isekai titles. This story is unapologetic trash but at least it's the least cringe stuff I have written so far, so here it goes.

The Grey Realm, an Erebus Story.
Written by: Staugroan and The Inklets. Edited by: Claudia Adams. In the beginning there was a god, who watched over and made one world his own. Soon after the god grew restless, but happened to stumble on a small world filled with life. This world was named Erebus by its peoples; humanity. The god was so fascinated with this new world that he started to copy it back home, creating oceans, forests, deserts, and so forth. Then the god created life and eventually his favored creations who would be immortals and be the better of mankind in every way-the elves. So often the god had traveled to Erebus that the two worlds became linked by magic and their inhabitants could cross at will. Relations between the races flourished, and a great empire was born in the Grey Realm, home of the elves. But the god once again grew restless, and set loose great beasts that stood at the top of any food chain, the apex. At first the elves met the challenge and fought them head on. But mankind was not so lucky, they died in droves to push back even a single apex. Something had to be done. Elves and man worked together to begin sealing off the worlds to protect mankind, to limit the ways in and out to better fight the apex off and keep their fellows safe. The ritual had adverse effects the likes of which neither the elves nor man could predict; the sealing of the worlds started slow, but the magic had never been done before, and in their ignorance it spread to completely cut the two worlds off from one another. It ejected the apex, and other magical being back into the Grey Realm, saving Erebus. At first the elves were content, they would find a way back once the apex were dead and gone. But the seal had done more than keep Erebus locked away. The powersource of the seal was magic itself, from both worlds, and it consumed it all greedily. The elves, weakened without their magic, crumbled into ruin, and the apex were free to hunt the other races of the Grey Realm. Two-thousand years later a strange phenomena is occurring and magic is slowly returning to the Grey Realm, and tears open that allow passage to Erebus. Thu'lain and a few elves must make the journey to fallen kingdom of the elves Anosora, in the hopes of reclaiming what was once theirs. They must face their nemesis the apex, and survive not only the species that have turned against them, but a terrible being left behind by the god to kill even the apex. Uch'l'thein, the faceless terror.
