《Death… And Me》Death... And Me

Roan's interest was immediately piqued to know of that. 'Rank Ten Bloodline Trial? Such a thing really exists?' He soon asked through their Soul Connection.
'Yes,' Rean nodded as he responded. 'However, this Bloodline Trial is only active when a new head is about to be selected. From what Palaris told me, that's the reason the Soul Rulers are the main force controlling the Bloodline Trials around the world.'
He then continued, 'Every time a new head is selected, the previous head will become one of the Soul Rulers' Ancestors and retire from the position. That means the Soul Rulers definitely have a few hidden old monsters with Rank Ten Bloodline Soul Marks. Obviously, none of the other forces outside dare to cause trouble for them.'
Roan nodded, saying in response, 'That makes a lot of sense. They have that weird tree that can gather this ridiculous amount of Spiritual Energy for themselves. Their own members probably have no lack of Rank Nine Bloodline Marks, which only emperors and the like are allowed to have outside this place. On top of that, they also have old monsters with Rank Ten Marks. Whoever comes to bother them will only meet their maker.'
Rean sighed before saying, 'It seems like we finally know who owns those Spiritual Senses.'
Ever since Rean and Roan had arrived in the Soul Rulers' territory, Rean's Spiritual Sense Bending Skill picked up a powerful Spiritual Sense that far surpassed any other sense watching them in the area. Every now and then, that Spiritual Sense would disappear and be swapped by another one of equivalent power, though having a different owner. 'Obviously, those Spiritual Senses are these Ancestors who take turns to watch over their territory.'
Roan agreed with Rean, saying, 'Yes. However, there's a gap between those senses.'

He then pondered on his experience over these two years as he continued, 'Every time a new Ancestor takes place to watch the Soul Rulers' territory, the other disappears way earlier. It does make sense, though. After all, it isn't as if anyone would notice the exact moment one of them leaves, and the other comes in.'
Rean shrugged his shoulders, responding, 'I noticed that as well. There was even a time where we didn't even feel their Spiritual Sense for an entire day. In the end, they've been in power for so long that they became lax. They simply don't believe anyone would be able to notice these gaps and use it against them.'
'However...' Roan warned. 'There are moments when they swap very quickly. That being said, it will be up to our luck when we decide to make use of it. If we try something the moment one disappears just to be caught by the next one, we'll be forced to improvise.'
Rean sighed before changing the topic, asking Sister Orb, 'By the way, how much longer will it take, Sister Orb?'
[I already took control over the Soul Stone Formation System. However, I can't modify it to your liking. The only thing I can do is mess things up.] Sister Orb replied. As she mentioned in the past, she could only analyze and control formations but not build them. She's like a car driver who could use a car but had no idea how it was made.
Rean was more than satisfied with that, saying, 'That's good enough for me. If I could, I would ask you to do it straight away. Every time I think how many kids have been transformed into Soul Stones while I've been here makes me feel like storming out to kill all those scum.'

Rean quickly calmed down before continuing, 'Don't worry, I didn't have much time to look into the Soul Stone Formation, but I made sure to pay attention to the details that mattered to me. You just need to mess the runes I'll tell you about, and the whole thing will blow apart.'
Rean then showed an evil smile as he said with a malevolent chuckle, 'Anyone close to it at that time better be at the Saint Realm or else. Otherwise, they'll blow to pieces with the formation. Hahaha!'
[Well, the Zasfins in there definitely wouldn't expect something like this to happen. You might even get some of the Saint Realm ones if you catch them off guard. After all, the amount of Spiritual Energy used to operate that thing is simply ridiculously high.] Sister Orb wasn't any happier with what was happening in that place either.
'What about the Bloodline Trial Control Formations?' Rean asked soon after with a hint of optimism.
Sister Orb couldn't help but take on a gloomy tone as she answered, [Those formations aren't so simple. They aren't at the level of a Natural Formation that can control time, but they're really intricate. I believe I'll need at least another half year to finish obtaining control over the overall system.] She was already using the whole Soul Gem System's processing power on it, but it was still far from enough.
*Chick! Chick, Chick!* Out of nowhere, Kentucky's Spiritual Sense message came out and asked, 'Rean, Roan, can I help when the time comes?'
Sister Orb had been helping Kentucky perfect his vocabulary during these two years. By now, Kentucky could pretty much use Spiritual Sense messages like any experienced Rank Five Demon Beast. It's just that he was still acting like a kid, though...one could only imagine how bored Kentucky felt while still confined in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Besides, he saw how many girls were being sent to become Soul Stones, which truly angered the perverted bird.
Rean smiled before saying, 'Of course, you can help! As a Demon Bird, and a Divine one at that, you're definitely much faster than Roan or me when it comes to flying. It will be up to your speed to get the kids into the Dimensional Realm as fast as possible.'
*Chick!* 'Leave it to me! I'll fly faster than any Stage Four Demon Beast!' Kentucky responded as he used his wing to pat his chest.
On the other hand, Roan was thinking about something else, muttering, 'Half a year...it might be enough.'
Rean understood what he was talking about. 'Indeed. The Spiritual Energy here is dense as hell. Not to mention that we can leave our mirages outside to fool the Zasfins while Sister Orb keeps watch. Thanks to that, we have time to fight against each other or Kentucky in the Dimensional Realm to get used to our cultivation. If things continue like this, we should be able to enter the Nascent Soul Realm any time soon.'
Indeed, the Nascent Soul Realm! At the moment, Rean and Roan had already achieved the Peak of the Core and Soul Fusion Realm thanks to the environment. That's just how dense the Spiritual Energy concentration in this place was.

The Trespasser
Synopsis Following his di—instincts, David finds himself in a weird situation; the next thing he knows, he's in a different world, dying, and manhandled by a big-ass alien. When the Source comes to his aid, granting him the access that—like every other sapient—he's due, David barely manages to get out of the fight with his life intact, but is that enough? Of course it isn't. The very Source giving him powers is also poisoning him to death. Oh, there she is, the petite female alien. Will that be enough to save him? Of course it won't. If he wants to be saved, he has first to save himself. The only way to do so is by getting to know the world around him, but even before that... Why the bloody hell did I have to be called Deviant!? *** Blurb? Blurb. The Trespasser starts slowly, I believe I've written a decent world, and I want you to find out what it's all about, won't just throw it in your face because of *levels*. I do not like stories that don't make sense. David is not a murderhobo, he respects life and answers to the world and the weird situations thrown at him with irony and sarcasm; so you are looking for easy killing streaks, you will not find them here. So, a man finds himself into the wild? It's a different world, and yet he can breathe its air? Finds himself in a lucky-low-level zone? Oh, look at that, people speak English—how likely is that? So, nope, not for me, gentleman. You won't find anything of the likes here. Again, a man finds himself in a new world but only thinks about the system? Yeah, that's not exactly how it works. David will try to find out what it's really all about, what the aliens want, how they work, why is that Fay really helping him? You can kill somebody to get levels, and yet there is not even a form of police? Not gonna happen here. Man becomes suddenly overpowered in a world where people can live for thousands of years by having enough luck to face only lower-level people? Hahaha—nope. Lastly...Spaceships and fantasy with LitRPG... say what!? Well, what's wrong with that? Let's make it happen, shall we? *** You want even more info? Really? Alright... David will start from the very bottom of the food chain, so there will be a settling arc—it's inevitable. David will find true companions, with personalities and backstories, and they will have a life of their own. There will be enemies, and those enemies will have a life of their own, too; there will be no evil just because. The world-building will have true depth; it will not exist just because the protagonist visits it. There will be both Fantasy and (Soft) Sci-fi—yeah, you heard that right. There will be rationality to every action taken, as long as the characters are aware of what is going on. There will be a godly system. You will come to read because of the world-building, but you will stay for the characters. The dead stay dead, and you will weep for them. There will be no action without a reaction. Lastly, there will be laughs. Are you still up for it? Then get in but fasten your seatbelts because it's going to be a wild ride. *** Release Days: Twice a week Release Time: ~09:00 PM UTC Words per chapter: ~3000 This web novel is also available on other platforms.

Daily life of a cultivation judge
Tired of those cultivators who think it is righteous to eliminate a sect or clan root and stem all in the name of revenge and avoiding future troubles, fights over treasures that end up destroying cities with no consequence whatsoever to the culprit, these psychos whose aim for the peak always involves a trail of carnage and bloodshed in its wake for some reason. Then look no further than the daily life of a cultivation judge. Yang Qing, is a young genius cultivator from a low-tier family whose only safe choice to get resources and hopefully lead an easy life led him to the courts of the Cultivation Order Society. Author’s disclaimer: Hey there this is my first novel so any criticism will be well taken though beware I’m a million-year-old monster who has cultivated the way of the sword to the peak. The daily life of a cultivation judge will be true to its name so it will be heavily on the slice of life lane with a bit of action here and there.Meaning we will see the life of Yang Qing when he clocks in and out. Hopefully, it will be one of those novels you read if you need to relax or are in a slacker mood like one of those otakus who listen to the noises of cicadas in the summer famously used in most animes. And it is in the slacker spirit that chapter release will be on Wednesday,Thursday and Friday. Sank yuuu Cover art by Conny Schneider on Unsplash
