《Rise of the White Dragon 》Chapter 71: About Origin
Advertisement
[A group of nearly thirty people returned from the mysterious crack. Some of them brought with them parts of scorpions and giant spiders.]
[How did you guys get out of this place and how is it there?] a reporter asked the group of people.
[We managed to find the exit because my daughter took a photo, and coincidentally the crack appeared in the photo, and then, we believed it to be the exit and went to that location.]
[Can we see the photo?]
[Yes, of course.] The mother of the 13-year-old girl with long dark hair and light brown eyes, showed the picture of a desert and not far away was the image of the mysterious crack.
[This is fantastic!]
[Is it really another world?!]
[Could it be that there are fairies and elves?]
Many people at the site who saw this were amazed, but they were unaware of the desperation that this group of people had to endure, in addition to the fact that more than ten people had died inside the crack.
This report soon went viral. Many television stations that were on the scene were making this story appear more than once a day since it was bringing a lot of audience.

- In the Dimas living room, sitting on the couch -
Cristina was exceptionally happy to be called beautiful by her family. She still remembered that Luan once said to her that if cultivation continued, people's appearance would improve. 'Big Brother was right!'
"Mom, can you explain to me what happened inside?" Luan asked. He was curious as to how his mother was able to launch something like a missile at Naga.
"About that... I don't know exactly." Maira started to explain what happened and told about the voice she heard in her mind, about her connecting with a digitized Origin, "Well, that's more or less what happened."
"I understand. So I felt that your spiritual power got bigger..." Luan became thoughtful and then said, "I have some techniques that can help strengthen your spiritual power, but you will need to be at least 20 times stronger to be able to learn this completely. Currently you have already become 10 times stronger, yes? When you reach 15, I can already teach you the first two parts of the technique."
"As such, I will strive to reach that level of power soon." Maira no longer wanted to see her daughters being hurt. She understood that if she had not connected with her Origin, something very bad could have happened to her daughters. Just thinking about it made her heart tremble with fear.

"Brother, do you know if I have an Origin and what is it?" Catharina asked as she looked at him. She was curious and had some yearning to be able to have the power of an Origin. If she had something like that, in the future it would be easier for her to become stronger.
"Hard to say, not even I know about mine," Luan said, "Each person is different and has different types of Origins which can connect with them. In our case, we have many ancestors who were descendants of different types of Origins. We can end up connecting to the same Origin that one of our ancestors connected to, or we can end up connecting to a completely new Origin, which I think is the case with our mother."
"Is it something like a family tree? Since each path can lead to an Origin of an ancestor?" Catharina asked.
"Basically that. Therefore, the Origin that connects is indefinite, but the Origin that you have the most affinity with will always be chosen. I see that in the case of Cristina, she has not yet connected with her Origin, but she can already use fire. It is almost certain to say that her Origin is something related to fire," Luan said looking at Cristina.
"Changing the subject," Luan continued, "Mom, I finished the game. I intend to go to grandfather's farm this weekend."
"Oh, so fast? Let me see." Maira had high expectations for this game. She knew it would be popular mainly because of the dimensional cracks that were being spread all over the world. Now that from within the dimensional gap some people had brought proof of the other side, it was inevitable that it would convince many people.
"It's in my office on the laptop. By the way, I still have some unfinished things, and I have a business dinner later," Luan got up and said.
"Okay, Luan. Your work is important, especially for you who started recently." Maira smiled and said, "When you get back, we'll talk more about it."
"Okay, mom." Luan nodded and looked at Maira and his sisters and said, "From now on, avoid going out in the car; we don't know when a new dimensional crack will appear. It would be a problem if you were pulled in again. Until you are at least 20 times stronger, try to train as much as possible. I'm also going to create pills later on to help you grow even more."

"Okay, Luan, we understand. After what we've been through we don't want to go through it again, at least not while we're weak," Catharina said with a forced smile. Remembering that they were almost killed, it made her tremble with fear.
"I'm going to my room to get ready." Ingrid was wearing a casual, post-bath outfit, a white T-shirt, and denim shorts.
"Mm, I'm going to change clothes too." Luan left as soon as he finished speaking.
On the way, he went up to his room. He reflected that his mother would be better off training the same body technique as himself which increased spiritual power; that would be ideal for her Origin.
'Well, when I get back, I need to do some tests with her. Maybe she can already start learning this technique. I also need to teach Catharina another body technique...' Luan sighed when he thought there were too many things to do.
After changing clothes, Luan now wore a dark gray suit and matching pants in the same color, black social shoes, and a wine red tie with a white dress shirt under the suit. His white hair was combed to the right.
Ingrid also finished getting dressed. As she didn't need to wear makeup, it didn't take long for her to get dressed. She wore a dark gray suit with a white button-down shirt underneath and a black skirt that extended to her knee. As for shoes, she wore a 7cm high heel, making her perfect curves become even more aligned and sexy.
Seeing Luan in a suit, although it was no longer a novelty, it caused a little turbulence in her heart. She couldn't resist Luan's charm, and almost stopped walking just to admire him from afar.
"Mm, you look beautiful." Luan's lips curved in a smile when he said that.
Ingrid was shy and happy, but she said while pouting, "Likewise. You are very flirtatious; I bet many women at the company will pass out when they see you arrive at the company's headquarters."
"Jealous?" Luan's smile got even wider. He saw her blush when she heard his question, and he found it amusing.
"Who's jealous...? I just asked a casual question, it has no other meaning whatsoever." Ingrid denied it, but her reaction gave her away.
"Okay, let's not waste any more time. We still need to take a taxi to get the car," Luan said. He and Ingrid had not gone back to pick up his car, which they had parked away from the incident, after they had rescued his mother and sisters.
"Yes, you're right." Ingrid nodded.
Arriving outside, a taxi was waiting for them. Luan opened the door for Ingrid to enter and also got into the taxi. Minutes later they arrived at their car and said.
"Thank you, it's just this far." Luan said to the taxi driver and handed over a 100 reais bill, "You can keep the change."
"Thank you sir." The taxi driver thanked him and left happily. Although it was not a very large sum, he had only taken them on a small run, so the value was almost five times the normal value.
Luan walked towards the Lamborghini and pressed the alarm button, unlocking the doors. He opened the door for Ingrid and got into the driver's seat.
"Thanks." Ingrid was happy to see the small gestures that Luan made for her. Even though he didn't need to do so, it wasn't like it was difficult, but that in itself showed how much he cared about wanting to please her and treating her like a lady.
Luan just smiled in response and started the car. Taking the highway, he drove towards the headquarters of the company.
"By the way, do you think Elias will accept the proposal you made him this morning?" Ingrid asked.
"I believe so, it's not like it's a disadvantage for him," Luan replied.
"Another thing, how were they not able to see even the car when they left the dimensional gap?" Ingrid asked, curious.
"I used two types of skills together: invisibility and illusionism." Luan gave a brief explanation.
Invisibility was the ability to make the user invisible to the naked eye, as this power made light pass through one's body, and did not reflect any image to people's eyes. Even so, people could still touch, hear, smell and read the minds of those who used this skill. The ability, however, could not work with other rays (X-rays, Ultra-Violet, Infrared, etc...) Anyone using invisibility could still be seen with special equipment.
Illusionism, on the other hand, was the ability to alter the perceptions of others, creating false images and sounds capable of deceiving the five senses.
Anyone who could use the two together was often a force to be reckoned with

Old Riding Author Lunatic Asylum
Just off the A19, in the dark, incomprehensible lands known as Yorkshire, there lies a town. A town where shadow-silent alleys glint with the secret hunger of knives. Where blood soaks the chipboard window shutters of forsaken terraces stretching off into the night. Where the smog-choked air rattles with the depraved laughter echoing out from clubs that can only generously be described as post-apocalyptic. Well, that’s Middlesbrough. But down the A19 a bit (an impossibly long way down, actually) there lies another town: Raughnen, in the ancient, forgotten Old Riding. It is an equal match in muggery and thuggery alike. It also has magic spells and pointy wizard hats. And now, across the miles and across all sensibilities, a pretty nasty power (a magic one) calls out for its pretty nasty counterpart (a decidedly unmagic one): a proper sound Boro lad. Nothing good can come of it. This is a collection of one novella and four connected short stories: I. A Yorkshire Summoning II. Old Riding Day Trip (the novella) III. Heaven is a Parmo IV. Death on the 66 V. Death on the 257 In total, this comprises 34 chapters totalling around 35,000 words, so try not to worry. It will be over relatively quickly. There are three more short stories with more tenuous links to the core collection: Rush, Paper Round and Scenario 79: Sausage Fingers, all of which can be found in my collection Short Records of Misadventure. Reading these may allow you to make more sense of certain parts of the story, if any sense is to be made at all. NOTE: There are instances of prejudice and discrimination within these stories, including elements of sexism and ageism, which are purely the thoughts and actions of the characters involved and which certainly do not reflect my own views on these matters. ANOTHER NOTE; A WARNING, PERHAPS: This can get a bit weird. In less than 150 pages, we have four viewpoints, first and third person narratives, and a completely disjointed plot with lots of gaps, dead ends and no real resolution. Also ZERO lunatic asylums. It's all a bit odd. If that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, which it most likely isn't, it might be best to move on now.

Popcorn isekai fic. The cover, drawn by yours truly, will reflect the current evolution of the main character. Also, he'll be pretty weak-to-strong, since, well, maggots are kind-of-really weak.
