Soaring Dragon Continent, Tavern
In a tavern not far from Serpents Valley, a black haired youth was currently drinking his tea. His features would be considered handsome, and by his height you can tell he was around thirteen-fourteen years old. Whenever someone was talking he was all ears, listening for new information about what was going on in the land, or about the emperor.
Creak.
The tavern door opened and two men walked in, grabbing a seat at the counter. “Phew! Leaving the kingdom of Fu to join the new kingdom of Chang Chi is long. All those bandits took our money and supplies, it better be worth it, this new kingdom!”
His companion patted him on the shoulder and gave him a light smile. “Damn right it's worth it! Chang Chi announced that with the birth of his kingdom everyone would have a new start! Think about it man, all the beauties will be looking for someone and by joining up we’ll be the first in line.”
The man chuckled as his face brightened up. “Yeah maybe you’re right, speaking of beauties emperor Chang Chi got him a new wife. I heard she's a grade above anything we’ll ever see. Back in Fu some said she was a goddess that descended from the heavens, If I meet her I could die happy.”
His companion pulled the man's ear and whispered to him. “If I were you I would I wouldn’t speak of her. They say during the war emperor Chang Chi forced lady Jun Jiaying Jun to marry him. If you want to live keep quiet, you never know who's listening.”
The youth who heard all of this raised his eyebrows, ‘it seems Chang Chi has been busy’. One of the first things Chang Chi did after becoming the emperor was announcing the birth of a new kingdom fully under his command, and then he got himself another wife. When Chang Mu was the emperor, Jun Jiaying claimed she would never get married and now all of a sudden she marries Chang Chi , something isn’t right.

Qiu Zhen is the youth who was in the tavern, this is what he has been doing since traveling towards his school. He has stopped at multiple taverns and listened in on the conversations the people had. Mortals might never get involved with the cultivation world, but what happens in that world always manages to make its way to the ears of mortals.
Qiu Zhen thought after leaving who best to get information from than a mortal, whose words travel quick. Since traveling for a week already, Qiu Zhen has learned that Chang Chi's first daughter, Chang Jia has started looking for a husband. Qiu Zhen also found that many people who participated in the war died after the war, and Chang Chi named the day the war ended a day to remember Chang Mu.
Qiu Zhen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, Chang Chi was putting on a front for all these people to believe, but Qiu Zhen knew that Chang Chi was naturally a dirty person. With a day to remember Chang Mu, many people will naturally think Chang Chi is paying respects to his lost brother, but really it's to keep the attention off himself.
Qiu Zhen stood up and walked towards the entrance of the tavern getting ready to leave when a group of men swung the door open and entered it, bumping into him. The front man had a robust build with unkempt hair, he glared at Qiu Zhen. “Move it kid!”
Qiu Zhen shot a glance at the man, but he did nothing to him and left the tavern. When he glanced at the man, he noticed that each one of them had a cultivation at the sixth level Qi realm. However Qiu Zhen paid them no mind and went on traveling north towards the valley.
“You Damn Ant! How dare you bump into me and waste your food on me!” A loud voice echoed out the tavern.
“Damnit, let me go! It was your fault, you bumped into me!”
“Let you go? Fine! I’ll kick your ass out of here!” Bang!

A body was sent flying out of the tavern creating a huge hole in the wall. The body shooting backwards flew straight at Qiu Zhen, who managed to dodge it.
“Hehehe, you taught him boss. Now they know who they should respect.”
When Qiu Zhen was the emperor in his past life and even before he was the emperor he usually paid these things little mind, but since being reborn, he can’t turn a blind eye to it anymore. If Lien Meili turned a blind eye to what was happening when his village to raided then most of the people would never have survived, if any.
Qiu Zhen couldn’t stand watching these cultivators causing trouble in the tavern with all those mortals. Only true filth has the nerve to beat on the weak, these cultivators are trying to bully the mortals to gain respect, when all its causing for them is fear.
“Dirty Filth come out the tavern and meet your new grandfather!” Qiu Zhen’s voice was loud, causing many in the tavern to look out the hole and see who he was talking to. “Dirty Filth, you won’t come see your grandfather?”
“Hey brat, who the hell you talking to!?”
Qiu Zhen’s lips curled down and he looked at the man with disgust. “Dirty Filth, I can’t believe you’ve gotten uglier since I’ve seen you! Come let grandfather show you the way to the bath!”
On the man's forehead a vein could be seen, his face grew bright red. “Damn brat, you dare call yourself my grandfather. Look at you, you’ve probably never gotten wet between your legs yet!”
Qiu Zhen’s eyebrows slightly twitched, he has the soul of fifty year old and he has experienced many things, but his current age is fourteen and he hasn’t done the thing between male and female yet. “Don’t worry Dirty Filth, granddaddy has tons of experience. In fact this grandaddy might have enough to make your mother sing!”
Behind the man the people in the tavern started laughing at the man, this kid was only thirteen-fourteen years old, and yet he is saying he could make that man's mother sing. Qiu Zhen is truly giving the man no face, and he is slapping him in the face multiple times.
The man's face and his whole body shook, his hands were clenched drawing blood that seeped down his fist. “Damn Brat! Today this daddy here will teach you how to respect your elders!” When the man moved his figure seemed as if it completely vanished to the mortals, however to Qiu Zhen whose cultivation is way above his, the man looked like he was running.
Bang! Bang! Boom!
Qiu Zhen’s palms slammed against the man causing him to fly back, Qiu Zhen dashed after him and slammed his palm against him again causing him to fly back the other direction. Qi has been practicing Sky Burning moves, so with a palm strike he can send his Qi out with the fire element causing an explosion. When the man went flying the second time, his body exploded in the air causing him to look burnt.
“Boss!”
The rest of the men's group flashed all surrounding Qiu Zhen, the highest cultivation they had was the fifth level of Qi Realization. “You’ll pay for that you brat!”
Qiu Zhen snorted coldly at them, and his body seemed as if it was slowly disappearing. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The group of cultivators bodies shook and they coughed up a mouthful of blood. In less than the time it took for three breaths, Qiu Zhen used Thunder Gods Step to cause shockwaves in the men's bodies. To a cultivator of Qiu Zhen’s strength or above it would cause hardly any damage, but to these people who were a realm lower than him they felt the power it contained.
His figure that seemed as if it was disappearing suddenly seemed completely stable and you can see that Qiu Zhen was in the same spot. Qiu Zhen shot a glance at the hole in the tavern, “They shouldn’t cause you any more trouble”. Before anyone could blink, Qiu Zhen was gone.

The Arcane Gunslinger
A lazy celestial being's mistake leads to Sergeant William Remington, a decorated member of the Coalition Marines, to be placed into a new body. His old life aboard the Valkyrie, an interstellar destroyer has also been replaced as he finds his new body in an unknown world. Where he learns of magic, skills, the system, helhorses, and slinging lead with ancient revolvers. Initially, he is skeptical of his new norm but the desire to survive leads him to try to earn a living while he figures out what just happened to his life. He's a fighter but far from the elite, a grunt with some experience. But what better way than to fall back to what he's familiar with, weapons and going after criminals and rebels. With the added challenges of monsters. This is my first Litrpg writing. It's a wild west fantasy setting with the MC taking a role as a gun-slinging bounty hunter in a world of magic and monsters. Hope you enjoy it. UPDATES AT 3PM EST ON MONDAYS AND THURSDAYS! Warning. The story has a slow start because I'm trying to keep my MC realistic. It takes him some time to adjust to his new surroundings, start to make some friends, and really get into the swing of it. I kind of think it's dumb when an isekai's MC manages to blink twice and suddenly adapts to their new world without any sort of struggle or learning period. So not doing that but don't worry Will may be confused and a bit unfocused at first but he'll grow into his own. Also using it to practice my digital artwork... which is far from par but improving. Keep an eye on author notes for maps and depictions of monsters and characters.
