《10k Years Silent Cultivation》Learning To Read
Advertisement
Gary really pushed his nose up to the grindstone. He worked as often as he could, barely getting even 6 hours of sleep. He frequently tousled with some of the other vendors for the best spots on the street, ate as little as reasonable, and had nearly beaten a mugger to death for stealing his coin purse. Gary made sure to bury his coins in his dirt floor until he had enough.
Gary eventually managed to save up enough money in just 4 agonizing months, that I'm sure Gary will remember fondly. Gary managed to dig up all of his money, place it in a sack, and charge his way to the library before someone could take it from him.
Gary placed the sack of money on the librarian's desk.
"Oh hello there" squeaked the slightly startled librarian.
"I'd like to learn how to read" said Gary.
"Okay. so this is?"said the librarian gesturing towards the sack.
"400 silver" Gary says.
"I see... normally we accept bank notes" whispers the librarian.
Gary mentally slaps himself on the head.
After getting everything in order, and counting all 400 coins, the librarian told Gary that he would be meeting with a tutor there in the library three times a week for half a year. Gary thanked the librarian and made his way back home. He decided to relax now that he'd paid for what he wanted. A loaf of bread only costs a couple of copper coins. 400 silvers was the equivalent to 20,000 loaves of bread. Gary could've had quite a lot of sandwiches with that much bread. Pity.
Gary entered another routine of studying, working, and sleeping for the next six months. He crammed as much of the language as he could into his tiny little mind. Finally, Gary has attained the magnificent achievement of basic literacy. With this he can attempt to take the first step on the path to his goal of becoming an Immortal and freeing himself from the shackles of society, and social hierarchies. Gary believes that he will never experience true freedom until he can exist outside of the rule and expectations of civil society. With cultivation he might just be able to build a path towards that ideal.

Gary made his way home and took out the book his father gave him.
Big & Strong, Baby's first cultivation manual
Gary's eyes glazed over. Presumably he'd pierced the veil and seen through the secrets of reality. Perhaps the weight of his decisions began pressing on his soul leading to some sort of self-imposed anxious penance. Or his soul's been summoned to the high court of the lord to be taught how to bring about all earthly pleasures.
Gary stood there staring at the cover of the cultivation manual for nearly an hour before sighing, and opening it up to read.

Cthulhu Gonfalon
Cthulhu Gonfalon is a story about a man who woke up in another world. After a drink over his loss in a game, Sui Xiong ended up in the middle of the sea. Surprisingly, he now found out he no longer existed in a human shape but in a spirit state without any flesh. In order to survive and find a way to return to Earth, he then searched for a body to accommodate his spirit. After several confrontations with some creatures under the sea, he decided to settle for a jellyfish flesh. This Jellyfish was extraordinarily huge. With its tentacles, it caught others’ spirits to nurture its own power. In this world, Sui Xiong wasn’t only matchlessly powerful but he also had an ability to cast magic. With this gifted ability and combined with his knowledge from the civilized world on Earth, he could help a deceased person resurrect, change a person’s look, and do tons of other crazy things that he didn’t know. As his journey to discover this world went on, he encountered many bizarre and mystic creatures along the way, who were Gods, Humans, Devil Beasts, Giant Dragons and lots of other undetermined organisms. Some of them might insanely worship him, while others hated him. Some might become his enemies. Some might end up becoming his teammates in the end. From a gamer on Earth to here, he became a God (even he himself could not verify this yet), had his own religion and even a church with a Holy Land to fight for justice. What kind of world is this? What kind of existences might live in this world? What kind of secret this world owns? Can Sui Xiong return to Earth? Keep on following the story to find out the answers for those questions. Little explanation about Cthulhu: Cthulhu has been described in appearance as resembling an octopus, a dragon and a human caricature, hundreds of meters tall, with webbed human-looking arms and legs and a pair of rudimentary wings on its back. Cthulhu’s head is depicted as similar to the entirety of a gigantic octopus, with an unknown number of tentacles surrounding its supposed mouth.Thank you for reading updated Cthulhu Gonfalon novel @ReadWebNovels.net

Love Against the Karaoke Heavens
If Xi was looking for love—which he isn’t—the very last place he’d think to find it is in the chatroom of his variety stream. Still, it finds him anyway, in the form of a guy shameless enough to defy the heavens. Features chatroom flamewars, silly banter, hot smut and an overabundance of misused tildes, all in a lightly sketched futuristic setting. Inspired by the author’s deep love for danmei, kpop, and internet slang. All fluff, with any angst just a seasoning to highlight the merciless sweetness. No fat anxiety included.

Since humans were first born onto this world, they have been marked with an emblem. This emblem would dedicate their fate. Those marked with the strength’s emblem would become great warriors, while those marked as the wisdom’s emblem were destined to become great mages.

In a world where the emblem determines one's fate, Lynn, a 15-year old freshman, is one without these two. To be one out of a billion, will he be able to survive in this world? 500-2000 words per chapter. 1/2 years per update.
