here is chapter 6 (7) I know it's bit strange with the two chapter 3 but sorry, got no time to change it.
Chapter 6: Awakening
„Now you’re out of your hiding, let's start fighting for real. “
The green clad man forced out a smile and said.
„Well, I would rather talk with you than fight you. “
„Oh, so suddenly. “
The girl said in a theatrical fashion. She shook her head and grinned.
„As soon as you have to fight fair you lost all your balls. So what did you wanted to talk about? If I like your question I might even answer it.
Aren't I benevolent? “
The man suddenly regained his earlier behavior.
„Oh, I just wanted to talk about the fact, that it was your sooo human loving clan, which has opened the door to this realm. And let the other demons i.....“
Her facial expression rapidly changed.
„SHUT UP. “
The man just continued.
„in. Now that I think about it. All this humans died because of this. Quite ironical hmm? “
Pure sadness and anger surfaced on the girls face.
„Shut up. “
„SHUT UP. “
„SHUT UP!!!! “
Her eyes that were full of confidence just a moment ago now were cold and blood thirsty. An ominous aura enveloped her.
But the man didn't seem to care for it at all. He didn't stop but rather continued.
„Oh, isn't it the same with the humans of this village? They also just died because of your carelessness. “
Finally the girl lost all her reason and charged at the man. Pure helplessness and grief could be seen in her eyes, as she thought about the billions of humans that died just because of the carelessness of one of her clansmen.
She grieved about the meaningless deaths of Ari and the other villagers, and she was angry on the man that let her think about all this.

As he was confronted with this berserk girl, the man wasn't fearful but actually glad. He had deliberately spoken these words in order to get her into this berserk state. In order to let her lose her caution.
With a thought he activated a technique.
Suddenly the space around the girl changed and formed a quadratic cage with her in the center.
As she was trapped inside the cage the girl quickly regained her sanity and tried to use a technique to break free. But something interfered in her concentration and made it impossible to channel her qi.
„What the ….? “
The man made a wide grin.
„Surprised? This technique was developed by myself in order to catch troublesome pets like you. It first catches the target and then interrupts the channeling of the targets qi by shaking their concentration.
Its only flaw is that it's easily discovered when activated and you could normal easily dodge it. That's why I first made you drop your caution by driving you berserk.
Aren't I a genius? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA“
With these words he started to fanatically laugh.
For real? I was fucking caught by a retard that laughs like some evildoer in that old human movies.
„Ok, you genius, you caught me. What know? “
She asked with an ironic voice while making a poker face.
„Oh that's easy, I will sell you to some rich cultivator and make some nice money. “
„Can this cage thing move? “
The man was cough of guard.
„M-move? “
„Of course, how are you intending to get me to your client otherwise? Don't tell me you have forgotten to find a way to move your caught prey. “
„I-i...........“
The man made a panicked face.
„Just a joke of course this thing can move what do you take me for? “

The girl thought for a second.
„A dumb, ugly, unfriendly idiot that had some luck and somehow managed to catch me? “
„Ok, I can understand the dumb and unfriendly part, BUT WHERE THE HELL AM I UGLY (reference chapter 4)? “
„Oh so you admit that you’re dumb? “
„What? AH, whatever! “
The man had finally enough and ignored the girl. He made the cage follow him and shoot of into the direction of the next city.
After some attempts to further anger the man, the girl gave up. Tears were coming out of her eyes as she thought about all the deaths she and her clan caused.
===================================================
Back at the place they both had fought a youth came out of the woods and saw the dead bodies of the villagers.
He started burning the corpses and pray for the deaths, as he saw a movement. He quickly walked towards it and saw an injured boy lying there.
The boy fearfully stared at the youth.
„Are you a demon? “
The youth stayed silent.
„Why have they killed them? We have never done anything to them. Why had they died? “
Tears started rolling down his cheeks.
„Do you want revenge? “
The voice of the youth suddenly sounded.
„Huh? “
The boy startled.
„I can give you the power to oppose the demons. But first I want to know, what would you do with such a power? Kill all demons, take revenge for your family? “
They stayed silent for some time. Finally the boy gave a reply.
„I would get revenge. “
The youth sighted and turned away just planning to leave.
„And after that I would make a place where we, humans can live without being hunted. A place we can live our lives free and doesn't have to hide.
That is what I would do with such a power. “
The youth startled and then turned back to the boy.
„If it's like this …..“
Suddenly a light enveloped the youth. This light was gentle and calm, but also powerful and tyrannical. The voice of the youth once again called out.
„YOU THAT ARE OF MY KIND. WITNESS THE MIGHT OF THE HIGHEST DAO. AWAKE THE TRUTH INSIDE OF YOU AND UNDERSTAND THE WAYS OF IMMORTAL. “
The light enveloping the youth entered the boys mind and something inside of him started to change. A truth emerged inside of the boys mind and knowledge about cultivation appeared in his memory.
„I gave you the power to become strong. Your fate is in your hands. You can survive in this world and truly become strong. “
With these words the youth turned around and left.

Golden Age
In the latter half of the 21st century fully immersive virtual reality has finally become mainstream; a brand new game company called Aurum Productions promises to bring about the most realistic fantasy MMORPG ever created with their flagship title, Golden Age. A new player who goes by the name, D0n, loads into the world of virtual reality for the first time in his life thanks to these promises. But what catches his attention isn’t the wild monsters, the in-depth quest lines, or the ability to perform superhuman feats — what draws D0n at first is a bit more… mundane. Sure he’ll put in the time to level up his character… just as soon as he can finish applying the last layer of paint on his new coffee table… and after he lands that triple backflip he’s been trying to do all day… not to mention the lady next door was talking about a new horned rabbit stew recipe she was working on… Sure a world of swords and magic in virtual reality means a whole slew of fantastical experiences you can’t get anywhere else, but it’s not like those are going anywhere. And virtual or not, D0n is determined to live out his reality with a pace and vision that suits him best. It’s just a shame that his habit of a personalized play style has some far reaching consequences even Golden Age’s dev team could have never predicted. New Chapters uploaded every Wednesday.

[Nudity Yes, but as of now no sexual content.] Phill is dying(Yeah, that cliche again). He has cancer and around a year to live. His degrading health has rendered him unable to go out as usual as once he used to do.

That and all the world"s" of Ulteria to explore, but there will be someone and... READ THE CHAPTERS TO KNOW MORE. Note: *This story is solely focused on world-building. World-building that would help me with another project I have been working on for the last 4 months. That means it is a writing practice project for me. *Not a power fantasy. It is more inclined towards paranormal-romance twisted with virtual reality( no harem elements either), and how could I forget about the VMMORPG? So you could expect lots of new species, magic, races, system twists, and a lot of other things. That is if I update it( Naash scoffs at himself.) I am not going to update it constantly, not even twice a week. So any 1 or 2 stray readers who stumble upon this and mistakenly like it (Sorry in advance.) [I am sorry : ( I can't seem to get the spacing right in the chapter. I am going crazy, please ignore it. I will figure it out] This story is also available on webnovel under my username: Naash.

The Book of Hickory
Now why did Hickory go and punch that Angel? Sure it spooked him, popping up right there at lunch, and yet, it wasn't fear that balled his hand into a fist - Cause wouldn't you? Wouldn't anyone - with a sick Ma at home, Da long dead, buried, all them prayers piling up on bruised knees, unanswered? Hickory was angry, all right. He was fierce, now - cause that Angel didn't show up to give no help, that Angel came by asking for it - with all that power just plain to see, the power to fix the world and all that ails it! And now look what poor Hickory has to do - to save the world? Now how is he supposed to do that when its taking near everything he's got - just to keep them chickens safe, Ma fed, and himself out of trouble - All he wanted was maybe just a dance with May, maybe a bit more, to hold her close? That she's sweet, now, a voice like an angel, but now she's over there lookin at him like he's more than a man. And that's not to say Hickory is bad, not all the time, not ever on purpose - just there are things a man has to - That drinking and fighting ain't wrong just as long as the chores are done proper first, that those parts of life that make it worth living ain't no sin, that loving a lady is proper and Hickory just has so much love to give! And May is special, right, sweet and soft, now she's sophisticated. That she wears her passion like a pearl necklace? That certainly Hickory would notice, naturally - that she's already spoken for, perhaps taken? That ever since Hickory came back, that all she can think about is swallowing - those strange feelings, because it wouldn't do, would it? For a Lady? But certainly she can worship him and still be seen with Weston Covanger? Because Weston needs May, that what happens in the Study is only half the battle, the Men's Business, and he's far too proud to settle for half of anything. That if he wants to move up the ranks of his family, to be more than a Covanger, to become the Covanger? He's going to need a woman in the Kitchen as well - he's going to need May. And if that seems a bit old fashioned? A bit too much like the Wild West? Well the West is starting to get wild again now that everyone starts to Drink. A different take on LitRPG where answers aren't given - they must be earned, discovered and fought for, one at a time. An orator style, a long read, filled with magic buildings, crafting, alchemy, but most of all - This is a story about the human spirit. About understanding what defines a person, their morals, their beliefs, and also faith when everything they understand becomes challenged - changed. So do they. People can change. They will. Just not always for the better, not always - sometimes. Sometimes that's enough. Sometimes that's even everything.

Rooms of the Desolate
Rooms of the Desolate is a collection of short stories designed to guide the reader through the many rooms and mysteries of the bleak and greyscale labyrinth of the Desolate. The first entry, "The Forever Tower" follows an unnamed wanderer climbing an endless, colourless tower; the only world they have ever known. As they slowly ascend alongside the masses, they consider the nature of their world and look to the corridors as temptation beckons. The second entry, "Production Line", follows an engineer in a boundless factory, who encounters a product that does not wish to bow to the overseers and makes them question their belief in the truth and duties they were made to believe. Content guidelines: Current entries do not include explicit profanity, but future entries may do so, hence the presence of that tag. Some entries do include gore and violence, though not currently to particularly extreme degrees. The Desolate is exactly that: a desolate world; as such, it is bleak, downtrodden, and may deal with mental struggles. Cover art credit: Adam Borkowski on Pexels.
