《Death… And Me》Death... And Me

Sometime later, Leu brought a few skill manuals for swordsmen. But as Roan looked through then, he noticed something different.
"This... Why are all of them made for Core Formation Realm and above?"
Leu smiled bitterly before asking.
"My question is different. How can you use such skills without even being in the Core Formation Realm?"
Roan's eyes narrowed.
"What you have here is just a general explanation of how they work. Would you mind if a take a look at the real one? Of course, I'm not saying the entire manual, just the first part is enough."
Leu pondered a bit before asking.
"Would you let me take a look at your skills too?"
Roan immediately accepted. He wanted to confirm his theory about those manuals. He had a few copies of the manuals he made for the Varen Tribe members in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, so it was easy for him to bring one out.
As the two of them looked at the other's manual, they seemed to arrive at the same conclusion.
"The meridians path!"
The way Roan projected the use of his Sword Skills was completely different from the norm. In fact, Leu was surprised that Roan's meridians didn't explode while using this skill.
"Are you sure you are using that technique with the instructions of this manual? I find it quite hard to believe."
Roan then put Leu's manual down before nodding his head.
"I was the one who created it, after all."
Leu looked at Roan as if he was looking at a ghost!
"You... created it?"
Roan nodded and then made a question of his own
"My question isn't much different from yours. How come you guys can't see the waste of energy when using this sword skill with such a messed up path? Sure, it is a lot easier if you ask me, but at the same time, you lose way too much energy on the process. To be very honest, I can't think about any other word than 'ugly' when I look at this skill. Especially since you can only use it at the Core Formation Realm or above. That is one more defect of those points to connect the Spiritual Energy."

Leu narrowed his eyes after hearing that. Although Roan really looked like a kid, he can't help but somehow believe his words. Of course, he still had many doubts.
Roan noticed that and then suggested.
"Why don't you give a quick try with mine? This is the same skill you saw back there, the Third Form of the Death Style, Three Claws of the Dragon. Of course, you won't be able to use it in the end since I only gave you a small part of the manual. Still, you should be able to confirm if the path of the meridians that I found out is wrong or not. It wouldn't cause you any harm either since you will only try it for a few seconds."
Leu pondered a bit and had to admit that Roan was right.
"Very well. Give me a few minutes to get used to it."
Roan smiled after hearing that. Sure enough, someone with higher cultivation can learn much faster. Not to mention that as manager of this place, he had seen all the techniques for sale, so his knowledge and experience were much higher. Roan thought that this man would take at least an hour before being able to do it. But it seems like he won't need to wait for much.
Around 12 minutes later, Leu opened his eyes again. Spiritual Energy then started to gather around him. Since he wouldn't be able to use it, there was no need for a sword. He only tried out that crazy meridians' path that Roan suggested. At first, he began very slowly, afraid that he might hurt himself. But as time passed, his expression changed. In the end, there was nothing but disbelief in his eyes. Let alone hurting himself, he even felt comfortable using his meridians. As if this was the way it was supposed to be since the very start.

Leu couldn't hold his excitement before asking.
"How much do you want for the full copy of this technique?"
Roan pondered a bit before smiling.
"I don't need any payment, but I do want to see all your techniques with similar attack power."
"Deal!"
Leu understood from the very start the value of this technique. Not only would you be able to use it in the Foundation Establishment, but even Energy Gathering Realm cultivators could also do so. Of course, the Energy Gathering ones would take a very long time to get proficient enough to use it. However, it was totally worth it. As far as he knows, only the Sects and big cultivator families have secret techniques that allow their descendants to use some skill before the Core Formation Realm. Even so, he doubts that there are many available for Energy Gathering ones.
Not too long after, the employee entered the room carrying several manuals for several types of weapons. At the same time, Roan wrote down the complete manual explaining how to use the Death Style Third Form.
Leu quickly left after that, leaving Roan on his own in the room. Immediately after, he went upstairs to practice this technique himself. At his cultivation level, he wouldn't need more than a few hours to be able to use it at a basic level. If nothing goes wrong, then he made a really great deal today.
Roan didn't mind it since he would also take a few hours to browse through all those skill manuals. What he wanted was not to learn them, but to use as a reference for future skills that he will develop. The Death Style only had five forms, and so far, he had only used four of them. Roan kept the fifth one hidden as a trump card. Only he and Rean knew about it.
Roan wasn't afraid of others using his Death Style Third form against him. The reason for that was quite simple. That is not the full version of the third form. The full version used two elements at the same time, which are Rean and Roan's Dark and Light Elements. Also, it needed the support of the 104th meridian, something that others simply didn't have.
If someone really used it against him or Rean in the future, they would be courting Roan- cough, cough. Courting Death.

The Undead Revolution
This was my first attempt at writing a story, in hiatus indefinitely. This story follows Silvy, half-elf, a rare race despised by both humans and elves. Having never met her father, the first years of her life were spent together with her mother, who had to leave her native village because of the blasphemy she had committed by giving birth to Silvy. At the age of eight, Silvy became an orphan and was left to fend for herself. Her mother had died of illness, Silvy’s life turning upside down: the child went from living in a modest but cozy home with poor but daily meals to live outside the walls in the slums, where crime was commonplace and food was scarce. Luck had yet to abandon her completely though, because a group of orphans like Silvy decided to help, integrating her into their group and teaching the tricks of the trade; that is, stealing and swindling. But fate had not yet finished playing with her. Kidnapped and frightened, her life will turn upside down again when she awakens as undead, but still able to think clearly.

To remake the world even better than it was, dragging earth forward onto the galactic stage. It will require violence, lies, betrayals, magic, more violence, and the occasional genocide. But, hey. Everything worth doing is hard, right?
