" How would i forget this place? "
" This place is where i quit playing before the reset, and the place where i usually go when I'm bored, or grinding the boss area. "
Shinzu was in the world [ Blooming Hill (Lvl Cap: 45) ] the place Isn't that beautiful anymore, where the flowers and orchids bloom together. The place was a total mess, and the beauty isn't there anymore.
" Everything has change. The world, the system, and my goal. "
" My goal here is to destroy the system, and find my sister. "
" And of course, without getting strong, you cannot wish to destroy the system itself. "

While roaming around and talking to myself, a shadow portal from the ground suddenly showed up far away from me, where the shadows from the ground they rise. They keep coming out from there, and i just stood there watching those ferocious monsters rising from the ground endlessly, and they are about hundreds of them or so. I didnt just go out there, and started fighting all of them like a madlad. I tried to go back to the other way and found a [ Blooming mushrooms ] near to a river.
" Beneath this river is full of [ Poisonous Coral Thorns ] and about 20 meters deep. "
You can usually find a [ Blooming mushroom ] near here.
" And before the update, this mushrooms were classified as [ Rare ] item, and you will rarely find it here. "
" Back when I'm still around level 40, i tried eating one of this mushroom and heals you for about 400+ health minimum. I guess this is the reason why its hard to find these mushrooms... "

" Fuck, if I had my old account i can use the skill [ Vision ] and find hundred of this shit without an effort. "
I saw a [ Undead goblin lvl 47 ] it was alone near in the river, and he have [ 1100/1100 ] health. The goblin have a dagger, and his size was not that big, the goblin was just on my stomach level. And the first thing that came to my mind was.
" Since this Undead goblin is all alone, and no signs of other enemy near to him. "
" I can take care of this one "
I suddenly attract the attention of the goblin by throwing a rock, and the Undead goblin notice me, and tried running at my direction. I was 1 meter away from the lake, and waited for the Undead goblin to come in a short distance. I then dodge its swing, and quickly goes behind to his back and grab its neck with my right hand and my left hand to his left hand, while pushing the goblin under the water with me. While we are falling under the water, the Undead goblin tried moving and struggling his left hand, and I said to my mind.
" FALL DOWN!!! FASTER!!!!! AND DIE!!!!! "
The Undead goblin was struggling so hard but i had to keep my grip on, so that the undead goblin couldn't swing its dagger. Once we reached the ground level, a [ Poisonous Coral Thorns ] stabbed through the Undead Goblins body. I tried pushing it further to the Thorns, so that it will die, and I saw the Health of the undead goblin suddenly reducing, while it was impale to the thorns.
[ Undead goblin lvl 47: 1100/1080 [ -20 Poisoned, Paralyze ]
I tried to hold my breath for about 4 minutes, and after that, the undead goblin perish.
I returned to the surface level immediately, and started coughing the water while laying down with a serious eyes.
" I will destroy the system, just you fucking wait. "

I took a rest for about 10min, and not for long, i equipped all of the item that I obtained from the Undead goblin, and said to my mind
" Its time to Grind them all "
" Before that, I need to check my personal status, and upgrade my skill points. "

" Now you might say, why I put all my points to the strength, Its obvious, were using a melee weapon to fight, and to increase my physical body capable of punching stronger."
" Let's not waste the time for now, and Grind the shit out of them. "
I roam around as i clearly observe my surrounding, and a group of [ Undead goblins ] was circling around to the campfire. Luckily, i was at a far distance observing them, and i saw a giant cage beside those undead goblins, and there were 2 women and 3 men trap in the cage. I saw the other man raping the woman, by thrusting her back and forth all over again, the other people inside the cage were scared and shivering. I had to come up with a plan to save them, and not so long, their boss showed up, he was huge compare to his comrades , his size was about 6-7 Undead goblins combined, and his name tag above him is [ Unknown ] as I was focused staring, and analyzing the situation. An arrow suddenly hit to my right shoulder, and it was painful, and I can't also move my body. The first arrow was a shock, not until they fired the second arrow to my left shoulder, the pain was doubled, and all I can think to my mind while lying down.
" Aghhh, Shit!!!.. Where did th-at came from?!, that wasn't a fucking normal arrow!!!, Arghh!! how can it hit thro-ugh a armor!!!. "
before they come and take my things, i unequipped my armor and dagger, and quickly put it back to my inventory.
" System Inventory open "
1.) Leather armor [ Info ]
2.) Iron dagger [ Info ]
3.) Leather boots [ Info ]
( 3 ) items were found
And a group of Undead goblins surrounds me as i was on the ground resisting the pain, and one of the Undead goblins suddenly talk.
" How did you know, this garbage human is here my brother?.
" The boss had sense a human presence, and the boss tried to talk to me in my mind saying. "
" FIND THAT HUMAN PRESENCE!!!!. "
" Then what should we do to this garbage human, my brothers?.
Should we kill him, and eat him?. "
" The boss need one more human to complete the ritual sacrife my brother. "
The other goblin suddenly smirk
" And after that we SHALL FEAST, AND ENJOY THEM!!!!, MY BROTHERS!!!. "
The undead goblins suddenly carried me as they throw me to the cage. My body was still on the shock, and cannot move. The only thing that I can do for now is to observe. No one tried to help me, and that's the reality. And all i can hear was a moaning sound from a girl near to me, and at that moment, i slowly fainted.
One hour has past by, and i slowly regain my consciousness, as I slowly open my eyes, and slowly stand up. And only i, and a young girl, who was sitting to the corner was left, She was staring at me, while hugging herself naked, at a sitting position. I then notice, that I'm shirtless and both of the arrow got remove to my shoulder and was wrap with a clothes, I then ask the girl.
" Are you the one who help me?. "
The girl just nod as i stare at her body, i then notice outside, that, the other humans that were in this cage were burning in a crucifixion way. I couldn't think of a way to get out because a [ High undead goblin ( lvl 75) ] were guarding the cage. And they were 18 of them, and about a hundred [Undead goblins lvl 47] were dancing around the burning crucify humans. Only men were crucified, and the women are being raped continuously by the undead goblins. And a moment later, a [ High undead goblin ] showed up to the cage, and he was about a human size, and a strong body, he was about to take the young girl hair and drag her outside with his one hand, I then hold the high undead goblin hand and said to him.
" What will you fucking do to her?. "
I said that with a serious eyes and face, but the high undead goblin smiled at me in a scary way.
" Fuck off Human. "
I tried stoping his hand, but I couldnt even pull his hand, I tried doing it with my two hands, and its still has no use. And the young girl was crying while being drag outside, my veins are showing as I tried pulling the high undead goblin. The high undead goblin stop, and punch my gut with his left arm, and i got pushed back even further, it was painful, and i started to vomit a blood. The undead goblin then said to me while i was laying down and enduring the pain.
" YOUR PISSING ME OFF GARBAGE HUMAN, KNOW YOUR FUCKING PLACE!!!!. "
After a few minutes, i was crucified, while burning and watching the young girl getting raped. All I can think was.
" Is this how i die?. I couldn't even save a life, I was so reckless going here. My goal is to destroy the system, but it just ended here?. "
[ System alert ]
[ Health: 90/220 ] -2 [ Burning ]
[ Mana: 120/120 ]
" If there is one more chance, i will not forgive all of this bastards right here, and kill all of them. "
" And continue my goal, for now, this is the only hope i got. "
My eyes are slowly fading as i was burning, i then slowly said.

BODY&SHADOW
AN ILLUSTRATED NOVEL • UPDATES TUESDAY AND FRIDAY In a time before living memory, the King Dragon of the Void watched the world and realized there was a crack. He realized that humanity was destroying the rock upon which they lived; they leaked life’s code into the churning chaos. At first the change was imperceptible: nanites overtook microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, amoebas. Insects became increasingly inorganic; birds and lizards followed soon after. Even humans were infected by their own advances, cell by cell, till there was not a person left on earth who wasn’t at least part synthetic, the product of a prior generation’s carelessness. The world’s population was ravaged by mechanical viruses with no vaccines; they were mercilessly overtaken by bacteria that knew no death. Soon, most of the planet was empty and only a handful remained who remembered the hedonist realm they came from; only a few were left who remembered what the world looked like when their buildings touched the sky. The King Dragon of the Void watched the rock turn. He watched humans cower as the Old World fell down around them; watched their great monuments crumble into dusty ruins; watched their codes become precious, ancient gem memories forged under the crushing pressure of so many fallen stones. The world has spun many times around the sun since chaos swallowed man whole. It is a simpler time than the one that died out, but the people now are not immune to the folly of the people before. There is old code everywhere: in the water, in the air, in the trees. The heart of man has been replaced by power cores, many of which are hard-coded with preternatural abilities—when they die, an esoteric mountain sect collects their cores and stores them in their hollow mountain home to preserve the sanctity and dignity of human death. They’ve learned to harness artifacts of the old world, gemstones full of codes their nanite infused bodies can parse as spells imbuing their users with great power; they inlay them into their bodies, into their skins, connected to their cores by copper conduit and gold tracers; they dress themselves in tattoos to advertise their prowess; they battle for relics in arenas, fight for them in the open world wherever they are found. The King Dragon of the Void watches the rock turn and wonders: when will this hunger finally make the rock stop spinning? WELCOME TO FANXING CITY … Twenty-five years ago, Fanxing City and the surrounding lands were commanded by the mad King Zao Beiguan. For many years, the King hoarded wealth, artifacts, food; he demanded tribute from a people already taxed to the edges of their existence and expected they be happy with their circumstances. Noncompliance was often punished harshly, bodies displayed proudly on Fanxing’s streets as a warning, from the city gates to the Zao palace’s golden doors. The youths of several prominent clans came together to overthrow the tyrant and made names for themselves as legendary heroes across the land: Tian, Ren, Feng, Gui, Ma, and Zhenxi. Even wanderers from the Luanshi sect descended from Yunji mountain to aid the rebellion. When the dust settled after three years, Tian Yunyong ascended the throne of Fanxing and swore to honour his slain father’s memory, and has maintained Fanxing’s peace with generosity and mercy where fear and cruelty once reigned.
