Chapter 825: Vol V Chapter 185
There was a period of time where Sui Xiong had noticed Fira Kenji .
That Pigman chef did not really have any special talent on his own . It was just that he had extremely good fortune . This was not long term, but it was extremely good at specific points in time . Such occurrences were not new, as one’s luck usually was like the sea waves, high and low at different points in time . However, normally, one’s luck was not so volatile . Those with better luck, such as Kabbalah, would generally have good luck most of the time . For those with bad fortune, they would also generally have bad luck most of the time .
Take Cambrona, for example . One may guess that his marriage with a goddess used up his entire life’s good fortune, as his fortune in the past years was rather poor . Cambrona often met with issues at work and life . If not for his steadfastness and positive attitude towards life, he certainly wouldn’t be where he was at now .
For people like Fira, his fortune was usually average, but when it swelled at certain times, now that was rare . Taking Earth as an example, it would be like a normal man managing to win millions of dollars in the lottery… It was somewhat equivalent to that .
Of course, if one were to compare Earth and this world, the millions of dollars on Earth definitely would be worth little to the advanced mages of this world . Here, advanced mages’ societal position was comparable to that of the core leaders of second-world countries on Earth or 2nd tier leaders in first-world countries .
Using China as an example, these mages would be comparable to provincial departments with lots of power and little constraint . Furthermore, high ranking mages were two grades lower than Legendary Masters, which were at the top level . Evidently, this position was much higher than that of normal wealthy tycoons . The more Sui Xiong thought about it, the more it seemed incomparable to Earth .

The best example he could think of was from a famous Chinese television series Lian Sheng San Ji . He did not know if the story of the fellow who became a chief completely due to good fortune was true or false . According to his professor, stories in the Ming Dynasty tended to be exaggerated . Even the famous Qing official of the dynasty, Hai Rui, was about to lie about his own daughter starving herself to death when he did not even have any children! The people of the Ming Dynasty could be said to be a little crazy!
However, in this case of Fira, Sui Xiong was observing the situation with his own eyes, and he had to admit it was real even if it was highly unbelievable . To be honest, Sui Xiong was confusing himself while comparing Lian Sheng San Ji to Fira’s situation, when what he was really recalling was a plot on some online fanfiction .
Being able to pick up a ring that contained an old grandfather, inheriting its powers and skills and finally trying to swallow the protagonist but instead being swallowed by the protagonist, where one’s soul became part of the protagonist’s growth… This storyline seemed somewhat similar, and he wasn’t sure where he had seen it before .
Sigh, what a tough experience for the old grandfather!
Sui Xiong thought to himself, amused . He held in his laughter and continued questioning Wall on the happenings of the last ten years .
“There really isn’t anything much else to highlight… Oh yes, Miss Felix recently entered the Legendary Realm . Is that considered news to you?”
“Not really, I knew that would happen sooner or later . ”

“In that case… Oh yes, Kalisa Riley has been pregnant for a few years now, is that worth mentioning?”
Sui Xiong was shocked .
“A few years? What, did she give birth to an alien?”
“An… alien?”

“Oh, wait . Never mind . ” Sui Xiong laughed dryly as he suddenly realized his mistake .
In this world, strong creatures were pregnant for long periods of time . Dragons were usually pregnant for tens or hundreds of years, and a few elemental creatures could even be pregnant for the time period of a whole generation . That was equal to a few thousand years! Leon Igor was already a legendary peak master, and Kalisa Riley had become a legendary creature with Sui Xiong’s help . With such backgrounds, it was no wonder that she was pregnant for so long as their child was definitely not just a normal human . Conversely, if this child was conceived with only a time period of nine months (which was normal on Earth), it would be extremely strange here!
Once Sui Xiong heard this news, he hurriedly headed for the Human Realm as this became his top priority . If Wall was so casual and calm, that would probably mean that nothing much else of concern had happened anyway .
With this traveling speed, he arrived at Garth City quickly . There, he discovered that the city had several the Goddess of Family’s patron saints, and the people had received them quite well .
When Leon and Kalisa had gotten married, the Goddess of Family and Goddess of Love had both blessed them . Goddess of Love had left right after and did not stay to share her faith . She was only interested in Kalisa alone, and she was already certain that Kalisa would become her holy spirit after death; thus, the Goddess of Love did not do much more . On the other hand, the Goddess of Family took a greater interest in the city and arranged for several of her patron saints to stay and promote her faith through various charitable activities and promotions . The people had been rather receptive to her efforts, it seemed .
However, it now seemed that there were too many patron saints around, yet they were not engaging actively in preaching . This confused Sui Xiong . Why would patron saints gather and yet not preach their religion, what else could they be doing?
He was not worried that they would harm Garth City as the Goddess of Family was not strong . Furthermore, her faith was calm and gentle, and her followers would not do evil deeds . Sui Xiong could also see that these patron saints were full of goodness and were not here to create chaos .
What were they doing here, then?
“Oh? You’re wondering about the Goddess of Family’s patron saints?”
Once Sui Xiong met Leon, he immediately questioned Leon about the situation .
Leon smiled and said, “I invited them here . Kalisa has been pregnant for so long . Although I know that this is normal, I’m still a little worried, and so I invited them here to monitor her as well as bless her…”
“And so many patron saints came?” Sui Xiong was shocked . “Isn’t this a bit over the top?”
“Actually, I did not plan for this . I merely invited one or two, and two or three as a follow-up . I did not expect the city to slowly fill up with all of them…” Leon smiled awkwardly and rubbed his nose .
Sui Xiong couldn’t help but laugh . Normally, Leon was a stable and ingenious man, yet when it came to his own wife and child, he became an emotional fool . Before Sui Xiong had entered this world, he had had a friend with an IQ of 146 . However, even with such high intelligence, whenever he discussed his family, his IQ immediately appeared to drop . He would act like a “foolish father” or “foolish husband . ” Now, Leon was like that too, how amusing!

A Titan's Crusade
Erik Thayne spent most of his life being brutally ridiculed and tormented for his weight and physical appearance, among other things. A social pariah and diagnosed with an eating disorder no one has an explanation or treatment for, Erik spent years trying to overcome his issues with his personal image and escape the ridicule and vicious torment of his peers. After years of dedicated effort, and a fresh start in a town away from his childhood and adolescent tormentors, he had finally begun to truly realize what he'd been striving for all along. Only, fate apparently has other plans because in the blink of an eye, Erik found himself snatched from Earth and taken to another universe, another world, where he is offered the chance to be more than he'd ever imagined. Now, he has to fight to restore the Balance between Chaos and Order on a world of swords and magic, in a universe governed by the System's laws, which resemble those of RPGs from Earth. Erik learned to embrace the things about himself that others taught him to hate, using them to reforge his physical identity into something more removed from his old self-loathing. But can he learn to embrace the darkest parts of his mind just as he did the reviled aspects of his body and become who he needs to be to succeed in the task set before him? It might just prove easier to stalk in the dark as a monster than to walk in the light as a man... *This is my first time publishing anything I've written to a public audience. Due to formatting issues, I forwent traditional stat-screens for something a little less problematic, delineating stat screens by separating them from regular text with horizontal lines in a lighter-grey coloration. Let me know if you like them or not. Criticism is entirely welcome, but please don't hate on my work after only reading 1 chapter. This is a writing project I intend to complete but I have committment problems so we'll see how long this goes on. Also, fair warning, as the description implies, the main protagonist is intended to be someone who has been treated cruelly, developed antisocial tendencies, and ultimately has to question his own humanity--or lack thereof. This story is not intended to be brutally dark but I will definitely be trying to follow a darker theme. It is intended to be violent and some scenes later in the story might be...alarming. There will likely also be some light, non-graphic (think more implied with crude jokes and conversation than actual details, there will be no full-blown sex scenes)relationship scenes planned later and if you're opposed to either a bisexual or gay main character, stay away. I haven't yet decided which way he's going to swing but the odds on him being straight are relatively miniscule, and I've always wanted to write a story about a gay man who basically looks like a lumberjack because who doesn't like giving conventional stereo-types the middle finger? This will NOT be a harem story, and I have no intention to focus on romance over action--it's a consequence of character development where I'm concerned, not the be-all-end-all of the story. The cover-art does not, in any way, belong to me. It was an image titled the Druid King (by duskanmarkovic according to the file name) which I found on Google Images. Until I can get something commissioned, this is the best stand-in image I could find.
