East Branch, South Lawn Monica waited impatiently in a blue and green dress that matched her eyes. The stars waited behind her like a curtain of blossoming flowers that only added to her beautiful, charming smile. She saw Howard running towards her and took a deep breath. She didn't know how to tell him what happened to her the last month. 'I bet he'll be really impressed!' Monica bit her bottom lip, her smile widening, as Howard opened his arms and picked her up into the air. He smiled and instantly…

"It's time," Howard took a deep breath, and walked towards the exit of the Door of Sacred Chaos. "Thank you so much, Argatha. I'll probably be back in 5 years." "I'm sure you will. Jenny, I packed the Ki Dagger and a few other things in your bag. Now, if you two don't mind, help me see a pose. I want to make sure you two choose me again next time." Argatha smiled and held up her hand. The transparent droplets of water around her had started to touch the ground and pop, which meant the array was breaking.…

Jarkales Monarch Caravan, Fifth platoon. The dawn of a new day descended on the Sorcan Mountain Pass. The sun hid behind the clouds and dropped a trail of shadows on a set of marching men. The Jarkales traveled in groups of 10 normally, but during conquests traveled in groups of roughly 1000 with 10 Captains and 100 lieutenants forming their power structure. In a few days, they'd meet up with sixth other platoons and attack the East Branch from six different directions. General Lorklan had selected six…

One month later, Howard opened his eyes and activated the Ki Array from inside of his two hands. A large flame instantly birthed from his hands and seemed to set everything around him on fire. Luckily, Argatha had been prepared this time. She smiled and gently landed in front of Howard and raised her hands to begin clapping. "Quite impressive, you learned that technique in two months. Now you have two months left to learn how not to use it. Two hours has passed in the outside world since you entered…

"There is one technique I can't let Jenny know about." Argatha sat down at a large round table in the center of the greenhouse. In the greenhouse, there seemed to be a lot of exotic plants, some of which he recognized from when he met Earl. Howard noticed two Light Core Fruits and a dozen other rare herbs. However, his main focus was on Argatha. She placed down a cup of tea and smiled at him. "Drink this while I tell you about it. It's a technique you can only use three times, and if you use it a fourth…

"Two Rules for training in the Room of Sacred Chaos." Howard read the stone slab with a rapt focus. "Rule number one, you can only train your body for five hours a day. And Rule number two, you can only train Ki for an hour a day." "I guess that means a single day in the array will probably be equal to a few minutes where Founder Arista is. Does that mean you'll have eighteen hours to spend time with me?" Jenny blushed and leaned in close enough to touch Howard's lips with her finger. "Mmm, what a dream.…

Howard found a poorly lit room in the corner of the Unclaimed Shrines. Looking up at it, he noticed the grey walls and the strange flowers that looped in what seemed to be an endless curtain of vines. He felt a little bit terrified, but since he had to get stronger quicker opened the doors. Jenny followed after him into the dark space. Luckily, there was a small glowing light switch on the right side of the door. Turning it on, he watched the fluorescent lights on the ceiling slowly turn on, and the…

Unclaimed Shrines, Jarlon Valley, Sunrise Howard's small blue bus arrived in front of a 20 by 20 meter bungalow on the peak of Jarlon Valley. He'd been told to come here to meet Founder Arista and Barmenthol before heading to the East Branch. Apparently, they had to go over battle simulations with the Jarlalen. However, he felt something else seemed amiss. He looked and noticed a few Varlen dream beasts sleeping in front of one of the Unclaimed Shrines, and they looked like they had been here for…

"The ground here is fertile like expected," Bermenthol studied the brown dirt in his hand. "I can see why the Jarkales want to attack and claim the Jarlon Mountain Pass. In a few months, there will be lush vegetation for miles. It will make us quite a killing if we sell the crops grown here in the open market." "There is a trading post in the Open Furnace where 10 different nations go to meet. It's considered a neutral territory there. If you let us travel, we can leave twice a year and return with a…

One months later, Howard and Barabin both had sweat dripping down their countenances. Howard had almost hit Barabin three times in a row, and seemed to be growing stronger during their battle. The longer they fought, the more Howard used Barabin's own Ki against him. He had even reached the doorway to mastering Ki Resonance. Howard looked down at his feet and took a deep breath after unleashing dozens of salvos of flames. He stood on the ridge of the mountain with a white shirt on and a pair of black…
