《The Legendary Martial Artist: Failed Beta》Roadblock
Advertisement
It had been more than two weeks since I arrived in this world, and without games, television, or any civilized distraction, I had not grown bored.
In my old world, even though I was not an athlete I always felt pretty good moving on my two legs. Sometimes I will even move aimlessly and things In my head will get clearer.
I had not been able to do so for what I considered as too long of a time. Being unable to use my leg and only feeling them by inheritance the only thing reassuring me that my situation could get better was the interface.
"There is also the fact that as Sun Chen seems more handsome than average" I threw an uncle joke at myself.
The only men that I had seen since I woke up were the young master of the Wen Family, Wen Tian, and two of my old subordinates who were now openlydisrespecttctful to me.
They came yesterday to tactfully gloat at me seemingly wanting to see my reaction when I learned that I was removed from my functions as chief of the Wen family.
Knowing the old Sun Chen he would have been so angry that he could launch an attack forgetting even that he was injured.
But I was not him, so all they got was that desiring looks that you give to the dumbest idiots.
It seemed like martial artists were all handsome or pretty in the case of women due to the constant exercise that their bodies went through. Some were bulky others were on the lean side, there were even some chubby ones.
Still in terms of looks mine was above anyone I had seen so far. I could understand why my predecessor has so many troubles, at that time he had good looks, talents, and strength. How could the other not be jealous of him?
I was not the original Sun Chen, apart from some empathy, I did not have to feel abandoned or betrayed.

Annoyed, I could only look at the group of idiots while searching for a way out of my predicament.
Every night, Wen Xia's maid will visit me. She will apply the medical paste on me, mostly on my legs before going back.
Even though the treatment was slow, as I had expected something more magical and fast-acting after traveling to another world, I knew that it was effective thanks to my status panel.
The first treatment has been the most effective as it had instantly added one point to my constitution. the other treatments altogether had only added another point.
I was well versed enough in this domain due to my profession and knew that it was due to the resistance that my body was building toward the medicine. The treatment will only grow less effective as time went by and I could probably gain another point two weeks later. But this increase was only a side effect.
The wounds on my chest and arms were also closed. They were fatal wounds left from the fight against Jiang Chen. Now my skin looked as good as new.
It also seemed like the medicine has accelerated the regeneration rate of my internal organs in some ways. I was now able to talk and move without feeling pain and coughing blood.
Now that things were going better I could not help but reminisce the most embarrassing events during the last few days.
I had started to feel like a liability. At first, I could not even shit and piss properly. I had to hold on as long as I could.
It is not exactly how I imagined my life in this world even more so when I had such a bug to help me.
Embarrassingly, felt thankful as Wen Xia's maid will come every night to take care of me.
She had a smug expression on her face. I could see that she felt that I was less of a man. It was also possible that I was imaginative things.

For whatever reason, even though she did not seem to like me that much apart from Wen Xia she was the person who assisted me the most in this time of need. Even to this day, I was still unaware of her real name... Many times, I tried to start a conversation but she never answered. The best response that I received looked like a condescending smile.
Was she mute? Or was she one of these legendary people easy to misinterpret that made people angry with every one of their actions? She remained a complete mystery.
Yesterday and the day before, I managed to piss and shit by myself without making a mess. When Xia's made did not need to hold my private part anymore.
This is how I was spending my day in the Wen Family residence.
I had also tried other use of the interface.
The first was of course the item description. For me, it was by far the most useful one. If I had it in my other life, everything even a grain of sand could have seemed much more interesting.
ITEM BEDSHEET CATEGORY FABRIC QUALITY WHITE DESCRIPTION soft warm and comfy, it is easier to have a good sleep
It took me some time to discover that most of the items in my room had "white" as their rarity.
To identify an item, I needed to touch it but also to see it. For example, I could not identify air or the molecules, the atoms, Oxygen, and whatever other compost of air, because I could not see them.
I managed to examine a grain of sand and succeeded. It was also of white quality under the "materials" category.
I started to search in the room and found a lone weapon hidden under the wooden floor.
It was a steel knife with a "light blue" quality under the "weapons" category.
I had not experienced this item descriptions option during the beta test, as it was always one of the most basic and boring features of the game (for some). Because of my earlier lack of concern, I was now confused about the grade of this item.
Light blue was higher than white for sure! But what will come after that?
As for the second use of the interface, they were the perks of skill practice.
I had started to practice the Zither Palm Technic, my fingers were constantly moving and my hand will often seem itchy. On the day, I accidentally pinched the buttock of someone who was taking care of me and could only apologize.
I was really sorry, but Wen Xia's personal maid did not seem to buy it. If a look could kill I would have died many times that day.
I was grateful that the mysterious woman did not kill me the day and did not stop to treat me.
I also started to get the feeling that in order raise my mastery of the technic, I needed to play a string instrument.
Sometimes when I was trained, profusely, I will receive a notification.
You gained 10 experiences points.
After a week of training, I only had 200 exp. It was insufficient. To level up any of my professions, craftmanship, or pharmacy I needed 2000 experience points.
It was an ominous circle as I also needed to level up one profession to obtain additional skill points.
I also had to resolve the problem with the popup as I felt that they were going to get me killed one day.

Apex Predator
Earth is a fairly small place, but it's all Bath has. It's the only home he's ever known for all of his 500-or-so-million years of life. One day, Bath realized his treasured Earth was being drawn into the next mass extinction ahead of schedule. So, fascinated by the humans and their quick rise to power (after all, setting off a mass extinction is a pretty sizable achievement), what's a nearly all-powerful, somewhat bored, morally ambiguous, savagely violent, shapeshifting alien entity to do other than assume the form of a human and do some front-line investigating? Little did Bath know he would soon stumble upon a mysterious human organization with a gate leading to planets eons away. And that's just the beginning... A story with aliens, intergalactic space travel, mind powers, and an abundance of adventure! Author's note: ON HIATUS! Hello and thank you for reading! Constructive criticism and grammar-policing are both appreciated. Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are complete at 1271 pages! Part 7 is in progress! If you've ever read any other web serials, you might've noticed that authors get better with time (that is, their art or writing improves). Wutosama of Metaworld Chronicles noted that the first 20 chaps are always a mess. This is also the case with Apex Predator. The first two parts (ranging just under 30 chapters, or 161 pages) are absolutely subpar. While I have edited them as of 7-10-18, they require a rewrite, which is currently in the works but not complete. For a sample that gives insight into what the latter ~80% of the story's writing style is like, check out chapter 56. Vote for Apex Predator on Top Web Fiction! The Apex Predator Discord is here. Cover: original work done by me, the author, caerulex.

Cardinal of Sin
They say sin comes at a horrible price. Or...perhaps I'm misremembering the saying. Regardless, I'm usually inclined to agree with the aforementioned statement. When one is held hostage by their own carnal instincts; never being able to fully control their primitive impulses...Well, let's just say, it would destroy a lesser man. That, I know. I died because of my lack of self-control, after all. I must admit, though. I didn't expect to change this belief of mine after meeting my end, but here I am. Breathing. In a world I don't belong; a world of magic. Here I am, whisked into another reality with the power to sin. To conquer.
