《The Lonely Wanderer》Chapter 36: Sabre Guard Aria
Advertisement
Kneeling on the ground reeling in shame, with thousands of questions yet no answer to pacify its rocked mind. Hearing what Shenzi had just said, while the tip of White Flame lays pointed at the back of its neck. With one false move, it's once strong head tightly screwed on, would fly through the cosmos seeing the stars, sun, and the moon.
After what seemed like a year to the Humanoid it gives in, "Human you are right, in this world words weigh more than gold. I take no shame in losing to you. I would still be misled thinking I was the imperial king or some big shot. I hope you will not mistreat me, instead of allowing me to further my cultivation. I will be your sharpest Sabre and most loyal subordinate. I may come across as looking down on you, but the way you used your technique has many flaws but already got incomparable might."
Looking into the Humanoid's eyes, Shenzi says "Tell me do you have a name?" Thinking for a couple of seconds to itself, the Humanoid replies "No I do not have a name since I was born. Then later I gained intelligence and the ability to cultivate." Pondering to himself for a while Shenzi finally decides "Good from today on you will be named Aria it's a name that weighs more than you can imagine. Do not bring shame to the name you have been given, furthermore before I completely believe you. You must allow me to bind your soul. I do not believe this is looking down on you. I have to take this step to protect my life."
Without wasting a moment, Aria abides and enters Shenzi's Spiritual World. Upon entering Aria is shocked to the core of his existence, the flow of speed 30x that of the original world, the abundant Spirit Energy, most important of all the abundant Soul Energy that seems to be an endless amount.
Smiling upon seeing the shock on Aria's face Shenzi speaks out, "Now sit down cross-legged and do not reject my spirit wrapping itself around yours."

In most cases, many would feel extreme amounts of pain during the Soul Binding process. Opposite to Aria's case, Shenzi's soul is one that has been nourished by Compressed Worldly Sun's 14 Stars, and the slight but overbearing Dragons Intent.
Instead of suffering from backlash and hours of cruel pain. Shenzi completes the Soul Binding in fifteen minutes, while his soul had greatly enhanced Arias to the point of her forming a Soul Spirit. When Shenzi had spent this time binding her soul, It would only be natural to find out everything about the person or thing. Even with finding out Aria being a woman, his admiration from the previous fight had not lessened. Instead burns stronger knowing he's got a battle-thirsty ally to train together.
Aria looks at Shenzi with a complicated look, "You must know by now don't you?" Nodding his head in approval Shenzi replies in a relaxed tone, "In this world, gender does not matter. What does matter is that someone has the proper mindset, with the appropriate mindset nothing is impossible."
"I do not want to build a kingdom or some glorious sect, what I have built is simple. I want to provide a place where everyone can have peace, where no commas and digits are the greed of my people. Instead, everyone should strive to improve themselves and grow along everyone else. Family bonds and camaraderie shine bright, that's the place I have built. I hope whatever resentment you have against me, will be appeased by the safety net I have given rise to."
Aria nods her head and speaks with more confidence in her future, "I guess there's no need to beat around the bush anymore. What you have come for is probably the treasure, whereas fishing me out to fight was just a bonus. Well, I will tell you now, the so-called cache you and many others have wandered trying to claim. You're looking at it. Before I had become a humanoid when I was just a Mutant Beast, I happened to come across a strange tablet. It granted the user to achieve one random Domain from 15,000 other varying domains. However, fate did not work in my hand. It reacts to a particular type of bloodline, but I have gained enough already as is from it. However, I have learned it has a secret. Whomever the domain is granted to, it needs to be done by two individuals following a master and slave relationship. I believe you have the fortune to achieve the domain that resides in this tablet."

Aria takes out a four by four tablet, handing it over to Shenzi for inspection. Upon scrutinizing it, the weak but overbearing Dragon Intent awakes for the second time.
The sky violently tears apart, an incalcuably large claw descends grabbing Shenzi and Aria. Without a moment to even react, even if given a chance the difference between the two parties. Would be nothing but a fart that slightly stung, but was still a fart in the end.
Upon entering the tear in the sky, Shenzi and Aria reappear in a desolate world. Unsure of their safety Shenzi brandishes Worldly Purification and Blackheart. Spreading out his Spirit Force in the surrounding fifteen-kilometres, Shenzi scrutinizes the area. Upon confirming their safety, including underground to make sure no Mutant Beasts are preying on himself and Aria.
With Shenzi's awoken Dragon Intent surging, and the Empyrean Retribution divine body. Without any sound, Shenzi feels a calling from deep within his blood, and bones calling out to him. For an unknown reason, Shenzi can't help but feel a sickening sadness wash over him.
With tears streaming down from his eyes like a torrential flood. Shenzi races off into the direction of the calling from deep within. Memories from ancient times suddenly appear in his mind. The fall of the immortal realm, the descent of the demons, the strongest cultivators who have reached the Divine Sword and Divine Sabre rank.
Upon the fall of the immortal realm, the current cultivation system has been cut off after stage 10. To reach the world of immortality, one would have to be bathed by the immortal Spirit Force. One would be cleansed of impurities from the lower realm. Now those who are termed "perverts" for reaching the peak of the 10th stage. At the start of the 10th stage. One will gain an Immortal seed, and the seed produces the immortal Spirit Force. To achieve the "real" stage of immortality. One must have their fleshly body equivalent to that of immortals and must have five separate domains from the 5th stage onwards. Combining the main domain created at the fifth stage, and the five others from stages 6-10.
In the current day and age, reaching the immortal stages is impossible unless one can create an entirely new path of cultivation.
In seven hours which seemed like years to Shenzi had passed but in reality, in the minor realms Yang Major World. Only one second had passed since Shenzi and Aria were taken away. Another three hours pass and Shenzi arrives at the end of the desolate lands. Upon exiting Shenzi sees a beautiful woman pierced through the heart, nailed to the rocks.
Upon seeing the women for the first time in his life, all the cells in his body, his blood, his organs. Everything heats up to an extreme point as if the rage of Primordial Sages was about to explode throughout his body.
Moments later after Shenzi arrived, the desparingly long ten hours of ancient memories come to a stop. However, the most important and heart striking memory of them all sticks out. This woman was Shenzi's birth mother, and the memories he witnessed. Were from the time his mother was the past generations "Shining Star" before the demons descended tearing the Immortal realm apart.

Hazelsong: A LitRPG Novel
Release Schedule: I will be moving to a set release schedule as of 1/1/2022. A new chapter will be released every Saturday at Noon EST. If I have time that week for a second chapter, I will leave a note on the Saturday chapter and post the second chapter on Sunday at Noon EST. An up to date character sheet for the MC Erik will also be posted on Sundays at 12:15 PM. If life happens and I am for some reason unable to write that week, I will post a blank chapter giving you an update on where I am with my writing. Saturday Noon EST: First weekly chapter Sunday Noon EST: Second weekly chapter (if I have the time) Sunday 12:15 EST: Updated character sheet Synopsis: Years after surviving a deadly accident, Erik struggles to come to terms with his painful disability. When offered the chance to playtest the world's first full immersion VRMMO, he wants nothing more than to retreat back into his secluded life, until he learns what Hazelsong really offers. An escape from the pain. Hazelsong is a world of magic and adventure, a place where friendships are formed, loot is won, and glory and fame are there for the taking. While the threats feel real and the stakes are always high, there is only one thing Erik is really in danger of. Forgetting which world is actually real. Story Themes: Hazelsong is a LitRPG novel that not only explores the fictional world of a realistic online fantasy realm but the life of a man suffering in silence from chronic pain and PTSD due to a significant physical injury and disability. Mental health is an important subject and we all know at least one person in our lives who has or is dealing with some form of mental illness. I plan on putting my best effort forward to represent these illnesses in a fair and accurate manner. Not as a cheap plot device to help make the protagonist more unique, but to help paint an accurate picture for those of us who have been lucky enough to not have to suffer in silence. About the Author: I am Ash Durra, general video game nerd and a connoisseur of fantasy and sci-fi of all shapes and sizes. Needless to say, I am not a professional author (B.S. and M.S. in Education, 8 years teaching). After really getting into LitRPG novels over the past several years, I found my way to Royal Road, which has inspired me to use my spare time to begin writing a story of my own creation. As this is a hobby, I am not writing and posting chapters on any kind of specific schedule at the moment, though my goal is to post on average 1-2 chapters a week. I am incredibly excited to share this story with others as I write it, and I look forward to any constructive feedback about how I can improve in my writing.

A Ten Pound Bag
A serial saga with short chapters published each and every morning to read over your coffee or tea. This is a "versus life" story with no great evil to face just life in a hard place during a hard time. Our hero and his companions get catapulted back in time and must find a way to not only survive but prosper. This story is definitely "R" rated maybe even NC-17 but don't expect explosions, blood and orgasms at every page turn. Bad words and uncomfortable topics are addressed in this story, this is not for every reader. This is a technical story and develops slowly at first, full technical details, maps and research are available over on Patreon. I hope you enjoy this story as much as I am. -Emmeran
