Chapter 1688: 1688
“Soulman bro, why did you have to come here bringing these others, and bringing them for free too?” Lu Li asked curiously .
“Um, my name in Soulhun . It’s like a doppleganger . In Shadow Realm there’s a type of weapon called the doppleganger weapon . Those with this weapon are called the doppel lords . It’s the top weapon of the last patch and I have three,” the blue-robed mage said, thinking he should show off his own glory .
As a failure in life – failing in business and having no choice but to go back home and continue the family business – Soulhun always thought he was to use another way to protect his own dignity .
“Ok, ok, I thought you and Soul Eater had some connection,” Lu Li said in a dumbstruck way .
“That previous boss of Peerless City before, right? I saw him a few times way back then, but we couldn’t get along, so we lost contact . I heard he’s really not been going well recently…”
“Alright, alright, you still haven’t said why you ran over here to boost . You’re not lacking money . Oh no, you’re bringing someone along for free,” Lu Li hastily said, cutting him off .
This person really practically had nothing on him .
“Haven’t I been taken along for free for a long time already? I just want to give back to society, so I ran over here to bring someone for free . I just didn’t think I’d bump into these evil people . These days, the problem of bullying is so serious in games,” Soulhun lamented .
“You’re coming for free . What about those people who do this for a living?” Lu Li asked .
“Rubbish . They say they have to make a living and need to raise a family . I gave them a bit of gold, but they went back on what they said . They said I had to pay them every Instance Dungeon, Soulhun said indignantly .
Lu Li could do nothing better than sigh at these local despots .
“The two leaders inside, they’ve all been respawned,” the messenger outside reported timely .
“Soulhun, brother, you game to go out together?” Lu Li asked .
“No reason not to be, but you haven’t even been game enough to reveal your name . Isn’t that a bit chicken?”

Soulhun had already seen Lu Li’s information ages ago . Though they were in the same team, Lu Li had hidden his own name .
“Me? Lu Li . You follow behind now,” Lu Li said, no longer continuing to cover anything up . He told him his own ID, then took the lead in heading out of the Instance Dungeon .
Lu Li was dead silent when heading out, but as soon as they were out, he entered Stealth straight away .
Enhanced Stealth wasn’t just more effective, but it also increased the effectiveness of Lu Li’s other skills . Especially since Lu Li was such a high-level thief, the shortened time it took to do things had an immediate effect .
After Lu Li went out, he quickly appeared next to the leader .
Soulhun was still digesting the ID info that Lu Li gave him . He had played Dawn for a short time, but Lu Li’s famous name had spread well beyond the game, and most people in the entire gaming circle knew about him .
This feeling was like seeing a legendary character .
Perhaps, in some people’s eyes, Lu Li was on the same level as the old boss of Peerless City, Soul Eater, but in the second-generation-eyes of Soulhun, it wasn’t like that .
Soulhun couldn’t look up to someone like Soul Eater – he felt like he was simply playing around with such a big club . Soul Eater was no different to himself, who had failed in business .
However, Lu Li wasn’t the same . He was a true high-level player that Soulhun aspired to be but could never reach .
Lu Li’s identity as the boss of Ruling Sword wasn’t enough to shake Soulhun . What Soulhun focused on was Lu Li’s talent . There was no Thief who was a match for him, and he had taken many more victories than losses against fellow high-level players .
“Hey, come out faster! Help me attract attention!” Lu Li called out .
“Oh, right, right . I’m coming out now,” Soulhun said right away .
At this, the Mages guarding outside saw the figure of a blue-robed Mage exit the Instance Dungeon . They immediate surrounded him and the Thief, determined to show these guys who wanted to challenge their authority what power really meant .
Lu Li was very pleased with the behavior of this rabble .

If it were elite players encountering this situation, they certainly wouldn’t just surround a target as soon as they saw them . It wasn’t necessary at all .
Even that that pitiful guy leading them was left alone again .
He stood outside the circle holding his arms, watching the battle scene with a cold laugh . At least from appearances, they had already solidly taken the advantage . The blue-robed Mage would be killed and couldn’t be saved unless he was frozen!
Lu Li stood behind him, stretching out a pair of evil hands .
And again!
The guy leading them was nothing more than a corpse, lying down on the scene .
The blue-robed mage Soulhun slid back into the Instance Dungeon again, and the Thief commander who was attacking them disappeared without a trace . They didn’t even know if this Thief was inside or outside the Instance Dungeon .
Life was meant to be messy . It was just that today was a bit too messy .
Standing in front of the angel, the guy leading them felt that this dark world was filled with malice towards him . For the first time, he realized that though he thought he had strength in numbers, it could be said that too many chefs spoiled the broth .
Once ambitious and filled with aspiration, these feelings slowly faded into thin air .
He laughed at himself, then went back on the road home . Surely nothing bad could happen three times in a row, he reassured himself . He needed to finish off these two people, putting a full stop to his squandering .
Just as he was respawning, he met with a new wave of attacks .
Poverty limited his imagination, or perhaps, low-level playing skills meant that he had no way of understanding how a real high-level player fought . Lu Li was standing next to his corpse, waiting till the moment he respawned before decisively attacking .
It definitely wasn’t what he imagine Lu Li would do, as he thought that Lu Li would’ve already escaped .
Only after killing the guy leading them again did Lu Li flash back into the Instance Dungeon . He even was able to pick up what the guy dropped for free . Perhaps it was because he had same PK points on him, but every time he died, he dropped the equipment he had on him .
Now, he looked extremely pitiful . He had been stripped of his clothes by Lu Li . The corpse that lay on the ground looked like it had been humiliated .
Collecting Corpses!
This phrase was on the minds of all the players there . There was no other word that could describe what it was like at the scene .
Most people would only collect from corpses when they had the advantage, like when they were repeatedly winning against a weaker target .
The guy leading the group hadn’t respawned in a long time .
The Thieves helping Lu Li watch were staring at the corpse turn back into computer code . This mean that the leader chose not to respawn where his corpse was, but rather respawn back where the city was .
“So weak-minded! What’s the point!”
Lu Li was really not happy .
“Sometimes it’s better to forgive and forget as they say . You’ve already killed them so many times,” Soulhun said, speaking up for the guy . Lu Li still couldn’t figure out if he was a natural at acting, or if he really did have a good heart .
“Screw it, I’m gonna go do my own thing . Do you want to come to my guild?” Lu Li asked .
He didn’t give out this request just to be nice . If the club had a few more of these rich second-generation kids, they would be better off .
It was just like with Her Tears; they contributed much more to the clubs .
Also, Soulhun seemed to be a decent character .
“Really? That’s sounds good, but I’ve got these three other guys here, see…”
Like before, he had such a strong sense of righteousness . Even in his overjoyed state, he wouldn’t forget his sworn brothers .
Lu Li stared at them for a moment, but couldn’t tell if they were being serious or not .
Regardless, if one extra person joined or four more joined, it didn’t make much difference . The other three looked to be relatively sharp and had a strong sense of justice too, so Lu Li didn’t really mind taking them in .

Decompose!
Dear diary. When you read stories about some people missing and returning after years of absence claiming they were living in another world, your first reaction is to scoff and dismiss a story as a tall tale, right? I know I did. All the time. Until it happened to me and I no longer did. That day was today. Some god of thunder smote me. If it were Chris Hemsworth, I wouldn't mind but it was some barbaric Hitite god that abaondned Earth some four millennia ago. Yes, what can I say? I love the seventh art. I have more hours watching movies than any other activity, including sleep. What? Do you think I'm exaggerating? Maybe I am. I'll really miss hollywood the most. And my biggest regret is that I never got to visit the holy city of cinema. I did not come to another world to be a hero even though there was hints that they hoped I'd save it. I did not come with overpowered abilities able to, dunno, leap tall castles in a single bound, faster than a speeding crossbow bolt, be more powerful than a eight-horse carriage, the bounds. No. After the asshole god that murdered me brought me to his world, he gave me some boons from his discount bin and "The Power of my Soul (tm)". Forgive my french, I hope you understand I am rather upset at dying. And he somehow decided that my power is to recycle stuff. How awesome is that? Not much at first, I must admit. At least I got all my camping stuff and equipment with me. There's no lycra in the other world. I'll make it someday, but that day is not today. So here I am. In another world, in the middle of nowhere. I'm no heroine. As the song goes, I'm your basic average girl. And I'm assumed to be here to save the world. But almost everything can stop me, because I'm not named Kim. Wish me luck, diary. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This novel is going have the following features: slow-paced slice-of-life No GameLit / LitRPG elements. Movie references. Sandra likes the seventh art. Journal / diary style crafting (includes chemistry, engineering and metallurgy) low magic technological advancement (for Sandra, at least. She is not against sharing though) personal relations clash of perception between the modern and ancient customs. bits of tension, fighting, and plot here and there. I won't repeat myself though. Once she crafts a good batch of soap, for example, she'll just note, "I crafted soap again." Once it is estabilished how she obtains compound X, compound X2 that is obtainable from the same process will also just be mentioned. I'll try to be as realistic as I can with the crafting, chemistry, and technology. Cover: Public Domain Image by StockSnap from Pixabay. No attribution required but we do it anyway.

Project Pegasus: An Airplane Crashed into Me So I've Been Reincarnated as a Skeleton
“Where am I?” The place seemed familiar yet my head ached each time I tried to remember it. “This place is kinda creepy.” Wait, what happened to the school? “There should be a plane crash around here somewhere. Also, why am I still alive?” Or maybe... This is the afterlife? “Wait. Nevermind that.” “How in the world could a plane even crash on me like that?” As I stood, I got a glimpse of my right hand touching the ground. “AHHHHHHHHH---!!!” There was no flesh. “Sh*t. What is this?! Why are my hands just bones?! Am I decomposing?! It doesn’t seem to hurt though.” Just like normal, I could feel my heart beating faster, however, as I touched my chest, I felt my fingers sliding through the intervals of my ribs; my heart was gone. “Aaaaah!” As I panicked, I heard a girl’s voice behind me. “Ahm... Suddenly, something touched my right shoulder. My body froze. Slowly, I looked at it; I saw a hand wrapped in white bandage.

Cry of the Mer Extras
A collection of Cry of the Mer shorts and extras. This will mostly be a series of scenes from Luna's point of view. Things from her past and scenes that have already happened, but from the different perspectives. It may also include the same for other characters such as a look into the pasts of Katie and Riley as well. Basically all the world building stuff there isnt time for in the main plot. This is mostly what I'll be writing on my phone on my breaks at work to keep readers having some content as I cannot work on Heart of a Mer while there. Most of you know the situation already, so this is my compromise for less main content. I do take requests if there's something specific you want to see.
