"did the monster just talk?"
"why yes I did."
"it responded! it has intelligence!"
"tell me... how would you feel if another human was amazed if you talked?"
" " "annoyed" " "
they said it in unison. what a dramatic change, i would have said their retarded.
"that's how I feel right now..."
"and why should we care about what you feel?"
"because it effects if you live through this..."
and with that I ran behind them and cut their armour up to their chests with my claws, and removed a finger from the one that talked rudely. I think being a monster has gotten to me, because I did not feel anything from doing that.
"!?"
then they passed out. maybe from fear or shock. I picked them up and dropped them into the patrol area and shapeshifted into my human form, but with powers that are essential for an isekai type character. with that I check my status.

so I have found out that the stats in the brackets are visible only to me and people with high appraisal. that is really convenient if I ever want to hide a title or an embarrassing skill.
"so... now that I'm human, let's register for the adventurers guild."
when I get to the front gate I see no guards, but I sense a magic barrier deflecting all monsters from entering the town. but this is me we're talking about, I have nothing to worry about. I enter without a problem. Tel'so is a beginners town so all of the bad equipment stands and poor quality potion stores are-
"hello sir, are you new around here?"
"yes, I am. could you tell me where the adventurers guild is please?"
"oh sure! the guild is the only building with a white roof and a sign on the front with crossed swords over a shield."
"thank you."
and with that I go the guild passing a line of slave traders carrying their newest line. it made me sick, there were demi-humans like beastmen in this world too, there are at least a few beastmen in the crowd and a few more in the slave line-up. after taking a moment to look around I head to the adventurers guild. and when I enter, low and behold a cat-girl is the guild receptionist.
"hello there who might you be?"
"uh, hi my name is rai I'm here to become an adventure."
"okey hold on a moment while I get the magic form."
magic form? I'll be fine if it gets my real race, but won't that mean that I will be an important monster that is able to give requests? it can't cure boredom though, without being an adventure my new life will be very boring for all of eternity, because I'm immortal and all.
"here you go, just put your hand into the box and your information will automatically be filled in. also if you want to update your information for a higher rank or for a higher chance of personal requests and higher pay for quests just ask and do the procedure again."
"thank you"
as I did that I adjusted my level so that it is 107 and my stats accordingly. that way I will automatically be a high ranking adventure.

the paper says:
name: rai
race: human
lv: 107
recommended rank: AA-
optimal weapon: ancient magic scythe
optimal armour: ancient mithril armor
I than returned to the cat-girl at the desk.
"so I'm done with the thing..."
"that's fine leave it on the counter and I will bring you to the testing room."
"testing room?"
"yes the testing room is used when a recruit is recommended for A- or higher."
"by the way... what's your name?"
"it's crathy."
the testing room is a large underground room created with magic that regenerates the stone if it's destroyed. making it perfect foe testing the strong.
"oi, so this is the new recruit that was recommended eh."
"yes he is megean. don't go easy on him his was recommended to be AA-."
"so your the new hot shot huh? but your so small? ha, I bet you can't take me on even when I only use my pinky"
when I appraised the muscular fox-girl she had a new category, class. her class was holy Paladin. she seemed tough, but the boasting conflicted with the 'holy' part of her class. it seems her class ability is to tell if a person is hiding their true race and smite the evil alignment for 200000% damage.
"carthy! leave here now! I don't want my one true love to be hurt!"
"don't call me that in front of the new recruit!"
just than my dreams were crushed. the busty cat-girl was in a relationship. with another girl. then she left the room.
"so what's a monster like you trying to become an adventurer, hmm?"
"so I was caught, huh?"
"the moment you walked in..."
"well there's no point in hiding it anymore..."
after saying that i transformed. black smoke like particles swirled around me in the second that they stopped I was back in my 'original' form, the zoroark.
"danm, I never thought such a handso- ,uh, big monster like you to want to help humans..."
"that's because I don't... if I didn't I would become very bored very quickly..."
"is that so... also I should mention that this room has a magic that forcefully negates all magic when someone enters the room..."
"oh is that so..."
"that means that your transformation is a race skill... so what are you a doppelganger?"
"someone would find out sooner or later... I am the first one of my kind to show themselves to humans... we usually live in our parents pocket Dimensions until we come of age... except for me..."
"well what are you?"
"I'm a shapeshifter"
the moment I say that she bursts out in laughter. she is now ROFLing.
"shapeshifters don't exist in anywhere other than obscure children stories intended to scare the child into behaving."
"than tell me... am I lying?"
the moment I said that, she stops and starts to kneel.
"I am sorry for my ignorance imposed on to you. I did not know that there were any shapeshifters still alive ever since the great purge 975 years ago..."
"that happened the year after my birth than..."
"eh..."
"as of now I am 976 years old, even though I have the mental age of a 17 year old human I have survived this long haven't i?"
"EH!!!"
I don't know if that was a scream of surprise for how long I have 'lived' or of joy that a previously extinct species has come back.
"why'd you yell?"
"..."
"..."
"my old master was a shapeshifter. I too have lived at that time. she told me that her son was hidden well, and that if I ever met a shapeshifter after that..."
"so you knew my mother?"
"yes, I did, and you look exactly like her... when she was not concealing herself that is."
"I am the guild master of this branch of the adventurers guild. I maybe only an A- rank but I will use my sphere of influence to make you an adventurer when your In your original form."
wait... does that mean that when I chose my original form I altered history!? so now all accounts of adult shapeshifters will be zoroarks and prepubescent shapeshifters will be zoruas?! I just allowed nimtendow to copyright strike this whole universe...
"thank you..."
"now than, let's cure your boredom shall we?"
"with pleasure."

Across the Realms [Dropped]
Disclaimer: I'll leave this on here for anyone to read. The last time I uploaded a chapter was nearly a year ago, and to all the readers who still kept their trust in me after I came back from my umpteenth hiatus, I am sorry. I will not carry on writing this; I started off without the correct foundations of a novel, nor commitment to fully finish it and I do not want to lie to you all once again. Maybe one day, I may decide to re-write the novel, with a new basis or at least a comprehensive starting point with many of the narrative errors cleared up; but, till then, this is goodbye. And, once again, thank you for the motivation you gave me. Even now, I see many emails come through with people commenting. Goodbye. A child blessed by the Astral. An unprecedented destiny. Watch his path, as he marches up the stairway of Heaven. A March of a Sovereign. [Adventure, Wuxia, Martial Arts, Fantasy] This is a Qihuan novel; it has eastern and western fantasy elements. More often than not in Xianxia or Xuanhuan there is a severe lack of character development, being a western writer I'm changing that. My characters, from my totally unbiased view, feel fleshed out and actually have emotions. This is my first attempt at a novel, I'm writing as a means to better convey my thoughts. I will, hopefully, steadily improve chapter-by-chapter. I'm very open to feedback and constructive criticism. As one can see this is a cultivation novel, so you know how this goes. I've decided to jump-start the whole rags-to-riches scenario. He is strong from the start and is given the utility to do so. *The cover art is not my own, all rights reserved to the owner. I will take it down if necessary. *The style of the recent chapters is comparatively different than Chapter 1.

It's not Red Line's only problem... Someone is hunting the Talented and killing them, and time is running out before they strike again.
