.................................................
The Giant named *** ****.
The green mountain, and the morning dew surrounding it, covered the entire Golden fog sect like a luscious curtain. The lush forests on the mountain, accompanied by the abundant greenery of the surroundings, complemented each other and made the sect look like a heaven on earth.
Standing in the skies, Riddick looked at the sect seriously. With a cool voice he asked, "Are you sure that this is the right place Roger? I’m not sensing any familiar auras from this place."
Roger, who was standing behind Riddick, nodded his head and said in a low voice, "Master, you asked me to find the remaining fragments of your last incarnation. However, it has been a hundred million years since then, so it is difficult to investigate.
This sect which resides on this mountain is called the Golden Fog Sect, and has been here for the past ten million years or so. They have an incredibly long history, and it is known to all the cultivation world that they had an incredible dao reserve, which I assume is a part of your body."
Riddick nodded his head slightly and flew towards the sect at high speed. He was trying to find the wisp of his unique Qi, which couldn’t be reciprocated anywhere by anyone. As they neared the sect, Riddick's face changed, not because he noticed an incredibly thick elemental aura, but rather because of the minute amounts of Qi which shouldn't exist in nature.
"This place is the Great Golden Fog Sect. If you have no business with us, then I respectively ask you people to leave now." An elderly voice rang out in Riddick's mind.
Riddick frown simply deepened, and he simply flew forwards searching for the source of the frigid Qi he sensed a second ago.
"Don't try to be foolish junior. Speak your purpose, else I will be forced to take action against you." The elderly voice rang out like thunder as an old man came out of the fog.
He had a long beard which reached his chest but the look in his eyes was very sharp.
Riddick looked at the elder and then simply flew towards the mountain as if he didn't care about him.
"Impudence! How dare you disrespect me, you scoundrel?" The elder roared as he unleashed a surge of violent energy towards Riddick.
"Humph!" A cold snort rang out as the three metre giant behind Riddick narrowed his eyes.

The elder was shocked to the core because he could clearly see his energy being vaporised by that single snort. Roger was a man of few words, but he wasn't a man who was well known for patience.
Riddick didn't even check the elder, as he immediately entered the fog and directly flew towards the mountain.
Roger stared at the elder and said in a low voice, "Tell your patriarch to come pay his respects to my master. The next time you try to disrespect him, I won't stop it with a single snort."
Roger eyes were red as he looked at the elder with an incredibly dominating aura, and then he too vanished into the fog following behind Riddick.
The elder stood there dumbly with a stupid face for a second and then he took out a jade transmission slip and said in a fearful voice, "Sect master, a pair of incredibly strong people have invaded the sect. For some reason, they are going towards the mountain."
"Are they strong enough to defeat you?" A deep voice rang out from other side.
"I am not certain about the first one, but the second.... He could have killed me with just his aura." The elder said in a fearful voice.
When Roger collapsed his energy blast with just a snort, and looked at him with those deep red eyes, it was as if he had fallen into the hands of a death reaper, so the elder was especially thankful to his fate of being spared. However, the thought that he had almost touched the shores of the netherworld made his mind tremble in fear.
Deep inside the sect, a man with a scar on left eye was sitting cross legged meditating. He suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the fog outside his little hut. He was the sect master of the Golden Fog Sect.
The scarred sect master slowly came out of his hut and scanned the fog. Needless to say, the fog wasn't natural fog. It was a formation made by the Golden Fog Sect.
The fog was mainly a defensive formation, but it was also very adept at confusing enemies and that was the reason why they were called the Golden Fog sect.
The world of cultivation was very chaotic, and for a sect to survive for a million years was very rare. The Golden fog sect relied on the fog formation to protect itself in case of crises for many millennia.
"Intruders. I am still willing enough to overlook your rude actions. Stop trying to invade my sect and get out of my sight else..." The sect master said in a loud voice.
Roger frowned and was about to take action when Riddick lifted his hand and said, "Don't mind him. Our target is there." Saying that, he pointed at the mountain before him.
The sect master frowned as he didn't hear a response. He closed his eyes and scanned the fog. A look of astonishment and fear appeared on his face as he saw Riddick standing right beside the mountain.

The fog formation which can bewilder even the experts of late deva stage was easily seen through by Riddick. This was inconceivable for him, but in reality, Riddick was only following the frigid Qi in the air. That naturally led him to the mountain.
The sect master ground his teeth and then he took out a jade slip filled with a small amount of golden fog and crushed it.
Deep inside the mountain, a man was sitting in a meditative position. He had wrinkles all over his face and he looked like he was on the verge of death, but his eyes suddenly opened the instant the jade slip was destroyed by the sect master.
"Who dares to invade my territory?" A loud roar rang like thunder as the old man disappeared from his place and reappeared on the other side.
Riddick stared at him and then thought, "A Yaksha." Only Yakshas had the power of teleportation.
Watching Riddick, the old man frowned. As the old man stood there with a dominating aura, the sect master hurriedly arrived and bowed slightly as he said, "Junior greets patriarch."
The patriarch looked at Riddick and then he glanced at Roger. He snorted as he said, "No wonder you weren't able to stop their advance. There is a Yaksha among them."
The sect master sucked in a cold breath. He then sighed in relief that he didn't try to confront them himself.
"However, that ends now. Brother, I, Roaring Mountain have no enmity with you. So I ask you to peacefully leave my territory." The patriarch said in a calm voice.
Riddick’s face which still had a frown, stared at the patriarch as he asked, "Why do you have the aura of the frigid Qi which is emanating from this mountain?"
A look of astonishment arose in the patriarch's face as he heard Riddick. His face sank and then it turned serious as he said, "Stop talking nonsense junior. I will only say it once: Leave now."
Riddick narrowed his eyes and flew towards the mountain. The patriarch face twisted as he roared, "Don't test my patience... Junior."
However before he could move an inch, a black staff appeared infront of him at lightning speed and grazed his chin.
Fresh blood sprayed as the skin on his chin was torn open by the staff. Roger appeared behind Riddick standing in between the patriarch and Riddick.
With a cold voice, Roger said, "I missed on purpose. Next time you raise your voice in front of my master, I won't show any mercy."
Riddick stopped for a second and glanced at the patriarch and then at Roger. He then simply touched the mountain. Like he teleported, he appeared on the other side of the rock wall.
The middle of the mountain was a small cave filled with a small puddle of golden coloured liquid. Riddick stood beside the puddle and then observed it silently.
Minutes passed by and then he silently murmured, "This fog isn't something formed under the heavens. It isn't formed by the elements of this universe either. This is the source of that Frigid Qi."
Riddick frowned as he sat beside the puddle and then observed deeply. His right hand suddenly flared as the white Void energy materialised in his hand. Looking at the white energy and then at the Golden puddle, he thought, "It is very similar to my own Void energy, yet it isn't. What is this? I haven't seen anything like this in all my lives."
Riddick sat there thinking for a while and then finally he opened his eyes and touched the puddle gently. A feeling of freshness drifted into his body from the fog. Riddick frowned slightly as he suddenly transmitted a bit of Void energy into it.
Faster than the thunder and sharper than the wind, a tyrannical Will came like a tsunami, assaulting Riddick's mind. Riddick mind spun, and before he could react, and before he could call for help, his soul was assaulted by this Tyrannical Will, which bore it’s way into his soul world.
"What is happening??" Before Riddick could even think, he was knocked unconscious by that wave of Will.
Riddick consciousness slowly woke up in the empty space of the universe. He had no idea how much time had passed since the incident, and he had no idea where he was and how he got there, but Riddick knew one thing for certain.
The hundred kilometre tall giant sitting in front of him in a meditative posture wasn't someone he should even imagine to meddle with, not even in his dreams.
Covered with a faint golden glow, the giant looked much bigger than anything Riddick had ever seen in his life. He had a huge staff in his hands and above all was the huge tail which was slashing like a whip around him as he sat there meditating.
The giant slowly eased his breath as he slightly opened his eyes and saw Riddick's small figure through his slits. With a deep voice he sighed as he said, "Another victim of Karma."
Riddick heard the words and asked in a respectful voice, "Are you an Overgod, Sir?"
The giant narrowed his slitted eyes and said, "There is no such thing as an Overgod in the multiverse kid. My name is Son Goku, nice to meet you."

Gaijin
Gaijin means outsider or foreigner. That goes doubly so for David Wyatt after he found himself in a world being chased by something that looked eerily like a stereotypical Japanese Oni. Now, he has to figure out how he can find his place in a world where most people dislike him on principle. At least everything is also out to eat him in some way… wait, that’s a not a positive. This is a Eastern Fantasy GameLit story. It is primarily told from the main character's perspective with the very common trope of an isekai. There will be my own spin on things, so facts I pull from eastern mythology and legends will be drastically different in some aspects. In the end, this story is just for your and my enjoyment. There will be guaranteed chapters every Friday at 15:00 CST, and I will randomly post chapters at other times when I get in the mood for writing or when I like a particular scene.

Quantum Worlds (A LitRPG dark fantasy)
Find the missing VIP in an illegal game world. Kill the monsters. Return home for the paycheck. Decorated Marine commander, Damon Williams, never thought his latest mission would take place in a full-immersion world fighting monsters… but when a high-value VIP disappears after being stealthily transported to a banned MMORPG, he's their only hope. Damon must lead a group of rescuers into an unforgiving world infested with terrifying monsters and worse. Pain is real. Death is permanent. He and his crew must adapt quickly, trust each other, and fight to survive. And if all that's not bad enough, they'll also have to race against time to avoid the realm’s disintegration and mutation effects. Quantum Worlds features race and class designations, unique creatures, dungeon crawling, level progression and Easter eggs that reference video games and pop culture. This a dark fantasy, but it also has sprinklings of humor throughout. It is a multi-cast, multi-pov story. In many ways, it is a melding of one of my favorite novels, “The Stand”, with my favourite genre, LitRPG. I don’t espouse to be anywhere near Stephen King, but I would like to think that I have succeeded in many areas here (you’ll be the judge of that). So, this thriller-style story has a lot of build-up and lots of drama. When it hits the 100-page mark, it starts to take off with some intense action and fight scenes (although there are battles long before that). Nothing comes easy for this group of rescuers. And the dangers are very real. This saga is already over 100 chapters with more to come. I hope you enjoy it and look forward to your reviews, comments, and feedback. Thanks. Chapters are uploaded every day at noon ET. Please do not repost this work anywhere without my written permission. Quantum Worlds is a participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge.
