Tang Yue's mind and body convulsed with gut-wrenching pain, as she cursed her miserable fate. However, she was far from giving up. She mustered all her willpower and withstood the tremendous ordeal as she kept on twitching in pain for what seemed like an eternity. But she still didn't dare to let go. Surprisingly after a prolonged silence, the elf sitting in the front subtly smiled and mumbled, "Just a few more minutes. Then it will all be over... little snake." He then closed a curtain-like divider…-

In the shallow hours of the late evening, a single bristle wolf driven carriage arrived at the red stone serpentine palace entrance. From the luxurious royal carriage carrying the crescent moon symbol, the insignia of the Elven Empire, a tall lanky elf stepped out. Unlike the serpentine clan members, the elf had pale white skin. The man's long slender ears reddened in the presence of numerous eyes staring intently at him. Though the elf was appropriately dressed in formal combat clothes, including shiny…

"Here lass, wear this pendant around your neck." The Emperor fished out something from his pocket and handed it to the young girl standing in front of him reluctantly. Immediately gasping noises erupted from all corners of the chamber. Even Tang Yue herself couldn't believe her eyes! She blinked and stared at the item in her hands. Her hands were visibly trembling. The emperor had just handed over a precious storage pouch to her! Storage pouches were compressed bags that can store an enormous amount of…

A quaint drizzle earmarked the fateful day on which Tang Yue was mercilessly going to be sacrificed. As if she had forgotten all about that, the young snake girl played with the raindrops dripping from the holes on her chamber's ceiling. She took a long listless look at the dull red stone ceiling of her chamber in the secluded corner of the palace. It was a blatant reminder of her social status and her insignificance in the serpentine clan. Heh... Isn't a luxurious life waiting for me? Tang Yue…

"Don't keep beating down a dead snake... It might just come back alive and devour you wholly..." - Epigraph. ..... "Yue, you have to do this for your father. I wouldn't ask you for this if there was any other way." Tang Shen, the serpentine clan Emperor's younger brother requested his daughter with a pleading tone. Any other daughter would have been touched by her father's miserable hopeless pleading and immediately sympathized with him, but Tang Yue looked at her father with her unwavering cold…

The rest of the meeting passed in a blur of planning. The first thing I learned was that I had been a bit ambitious when assuming that the territory push was going to be global. The push for territory was going to happen in six key locations across the surface of the world, each location equidistant from the two next to it, in one big ring. The hope was that after the push had been made in those locations the rest of the people on the planet would be incentivised to make pushes of their own, to…-

Silence fell across the holographic meeting as Lara and I stared one another down, neither of us willing to give any quarter as we both stared daggers across the table. "You… know each other?" Tessa asked from my side, "How is that even possible?" I mulled the question over in my head, wondering how much I should give away considering the situation that Lara and I had found ourselves in when we had last met. Destroying a planet in combat was certainly one way of getting to know someone. I didn't…

One by one, other figures flickered into life thanks to the hologrid. I was surprised by how realistic it all looked. Of course, I had been in some pretty realistic holo-simulations since I had been transported to this universe. Heck, I had fought in them, and they had been brilliant. However, they had also been powered by manna in some way. They didn't just rely on technology to work as these did. In other words, I was being blown away by the ingenuity on display here, and it made me wish that…
