*************************************
'"Please, kill me"'
'"I don't deserve to go on living."'
'"This is the worst disgrace in my entire life"'
'We are currently walking in the direction of the rear army. We just passed the dividing river of the two kingdoms and everyone managed to wipe their asses, literally speaking.'
'Those adventurers who had extra clothes with them handed them over to the others, so they could change their clothes. Thanks to this they all became clean again.'
'Anyway, they are still mentally unstable...'
'Fabio: "..."'
'The guild master remained silent. From time to time he looked up to the sky sighing, and then looked ahead again and continued walking.'
'And so, the time passed.'
'Until we arrived at the Golden Lion guild's territory.'
'"Guild master!" With a big smile on his face, Fabian walks up to Fabio and says "How did it go? You sure won with honors!"'
"'Kill me!'''
'''I don't want to go on living'''
'''Parents, I failed you'''
'His very cheerful words made everyone remember the tragedy that happened just an hour ago and they began to murmur as if they were reciting an evil spell to invoke the devil.'
'Fabian: ''..."'
'- Did they lose so badly? Was there even psychological damage? Just what could have happened?!'
'Fabio walked past him and spoke in a low tone to prevent his words from spreading. "Pay everyone half of what you promised... Except for Emir, pay him double! Do whatever it takes to make him go away!"'
'Fabian: ''..."'
'- My Holy God Solus... Even the guild master?!'
'Without energy, Fabio sat down in a nearby place to keep the last of his dignity... Or at least that's what his look says.'
'"You are allowed to rest. My men will come at once with your reward."'
'Fabian was the one who took command and gave the orders. Everyone heeded his words and sat around.'
'Some time later, the men arrived with sacks of cloth filled with coins.'
'"Emir!" shouted Fabian.'
'"Right away!"'
'Unexpectedly, I'm first on the list, so I approached the place and received my reward at Fabian's hands.'
'"Huh?! My reward is a gold coin!!!!"'
'I made sure to shout it out for all to hear it.'
''- God... I'm just asking for peace...don't I even have the right to that?' Fabio trembled as if he just needed one more push to erupt like a volcano.'

'''Did you hear that? That's twice as much as promised!'''
'''The guild master is generous.'''
'With that I'll be able to buy my grandmother's medicine!'
'The rumor quickly spread like gunpowder, letting everyone know the good news... Although I have no idea what gunpowder is.'
''- Ah, now I understand why the guild master wants him out of his sight' Seeing the mess caused, Fabian quickly understood Fabio's suffering.'
'Ignoring Fabian's gaze, I walked behind him and approached Fabio.'
'"Guild master, as for joining your guild-...."'
'"Go away!!!" He interrupted me.'
'You don't want me to join your guild? Hmph! Your loss!'
'Unlike my thoughts, my expression shows sadness as if I'm suffering from a lot of injustice.'
'With such an expression, I'm leaving the Golden Lion guild's territory.'
'***'
'While Emir was walking away from the place, one of the Golden Lion guild members approached Fabio. He is one of the few next to Fabian who stayed to protect his guild's territory since, although this is a safe place, they must always demonstrate presence.'
'- If I take care of this Emir guy, the guild master will owe me a favor, won't he? He might even promote me directly!'
'He still doesn't know that Emir is a disaster summoner, so he feels that his small being is enough to do the job.'
'"Guild Master, if that Emir is causing you trouble, I have the assurance to take care of him without drawing attention to myself!"'
'Hearing these words, Fabio felt they were touching his sensitive nerve as if a lightning bolt fell from the sky and gave him the final blow, to subsequently have his ashes eaten by a pig.'
'If it were up to him, he would remove the name 'Emir' from the face of the earth. He doesn’t want to hear it again!'
'- Um. Why is the guild master shivering? Is he cold?'
'At the man's strange look, Fabio stands up and looks him straight in the eye.'
'"Don't mess with Emir..." With bloodshot eyes, he shouted, "That guy has the Luck attribute in negative numbers!!!!"'
'- God only knows what disaster he will bring upon us if we keep him around!'
'From that day onwards, the Golden Lion Guild would not cause trouble to anyone with 'Emir' as a name.'
'***'
'"Well, I finally carried out my revenge and besides... There were zero deaths!"'
'I can be considered someone fair and magnanimous. Even though your guild sent the 3 annoying beauties on a risky mission whose end could have been serious injuries and, in a small chance, death. All because of your grudge with the Golden Archer who practically did nothing.'
'After all, let's think about it. If me and Alessia hadn't been on that mission, they might well have had the above two possibilities happen to them. Following the laws of revenge, everything suffered must be repaid double. And, since there were no deaths in my revenge, we could say that I was quite considerate in carrying it out.'

'"As long as they don't bother me or my close ones again, then I will completely forget about the Golden Lion Guild."'
'I'm not spiteful, I just don't like to owe anyone anything.'
'With a renewed mood, I open the map on full screen and look at what Alessia and Delia are doing.'
'"Alessia is at the borders, along with the 3 annoying beauties. And, by the blue and red dots near them, they must be performing a monster extermination mission."'
'It's quite rare to find a monster in these places, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. Besides, from the number of red dots, they must be facing a pack.'
'They seem to be fine, so I won't interrupt them.'
'"As for Delia... ... ... ... ... Mn, there's a big line in front of her tent."'
'Her miraculous healings must have attracted a lot of attention, and now everyone is running to her for help. She's someone who keeps her word, so I'm sure she'll limit herself to the rank of being a skilled Priestess.'
'Besides, she has the [Perception Inhibitor]. It's impossible for them to recognize her.'
'Hm… I have free time... What do I do?'
'Emir: "..."'
'I'll go keep old Gerald company, and after that… I might go to Erick's.'
'With plans ready, I headed into the forest and, without anyone seeing me, I activated [Space Travel]. The next second, the illusionary gate appears in front of me and I walk through it, reaching the dirt road that connects to Danes City.'
'"Haa... My dumb horse is with Delia, so I'll have to run to get to the city."'
'Luckily, now that Space Travel is at level 33, my distance to the city decreased tremendously.'
'If I used to see the city Danes the size of a thumb, now I see it as the size of an open hand. That's an enormous improvement. That change alone has already saved me several hours. And if next time I had my horse nearby, the ride would only take a few minutes!'
'"The unaffiliated travelers would want to cry blood if they found out about this," I smiled.'
'Since Alessia's mission could end at any time, I'll corroborate the theory behind the [Safe Point] another day.'
'Then activating the Agility profile, I ran towards the city...'
'"What are you doing here?"'
'Hey, I've been running for almost an hour and this is how you greet me?'
'Old Gerald stands behind the counter with a hand on his cheek. He looks incredibly bored. And it is not surprising. The chance of customers coming in is so low, even more so with all the added restrictions on his signs.'
'Haa, if you want a clientele, just lower your entry conditions. You shouldn't be so stubborn.'
'"I came to visit you"'
'Old Gerald: "!!!!"'
'- How many years has it been since I've heard those words...? ...No, wait a minute. I think the other day someone said something similar... Ah, right.'
'From the look of surprise on his face, I should say that old Gerald must have very few friends. It is to be expected, few are able to put up with a cantankerous old man.'
'But then his look changed, showing a smile that made him look quite young.'
'"Boy, this is your lucky day"'
'Emir: "..."'
'The last time I heard something similar was yesterday, and I was just starting my revenge. Could it be that I'm about to hear something that will bring me a lot of trouble?'
'"Thank you, but I don't want your luck."'
'I quickly declined.'
'"Really? Well, you can have it your way."'
'His response is quite far from my expectations. Initially, I thought he would get angry and throw all the weapons around at me, but in reality... Did he respond like a man of his age?'
'Did he take the wrong medicine?'
'- My hand is shaking from hitting him! Could it be because his face looks punchable?'
'I feel that this old man is slandering me in his mind. Shall I bring Melisa to put him in his place?'
'Our clash of glances lasted for a few seconds, until I stepped aside and raised the white flag. After all, he has only a few years left to live. If he has a scare, he might have a heart attack and I might have to pay for his funeral expenses...'
'Hey, why do you have a shoe in your hand? What are you planning to do with it?'
'"Cof, cof, cof... Well? What was that you wanted to tell me?"'
'I bounced back to the principal topic, because I'm afraid that the shoe will head towards my face if I keep bothering him.'
'Sighing, he put the shoe back on and said "I have a friend who was born with the Clairvoyance ability, and one of these days he will come to visit me..."'
'He paused and then smiled mysteriously.'
'"Would you like to know your future?"'

Fighting to be Kind in a Cultivation World
Aren't you tired of the typical cultivation story, where an isekai'd person comes into the world and becomes a brutal or selfish person? I know I am. So instead of being fully changed by the world, I want this protagonist to stick to their beliefs and help to change the world (and people) for the better. There will still be main character development and tests of those beliefs, but I want them to maintain that aspect. Brief Synopsis:American is thrown into a typical Xuanhuan cultivation world where the masses of the people are typically sacrificed for the abilities of the few. This is meant to be an alternate take on how protagonists approach these worlds. Main character comes into the world w/ scanning, healing, and monster taming abilities. The release schedule will begin on Dec 1st. The schedule is 2 chapters/week (Tue & Fri) at 11pm. Please like, comment, and follow, as that helps me to gauge interest in the series. Final note: I notice that many cultivation novels treat abuse or sexual assault as a throwaway tool to set a stage. I think the way it is normally done is both lazy and a disrespectful to victims. If you have any suggestions on how I can improve the way I've done it in this series, please let me know. I want to do this the right way. P.S. *Nudge, nudge* If you are looking for a sneak peek of up to 16 chapters ahead, check out my Patreon. :D
