“Come come, enter the arena everyone!” Marlo exclaimed, his body shaking with vigor as he spoke. “Everyone line up next to each other and let me take a look at you!” Everyone quickly lined up nervously and stared at the giant man who was towering above them. Though he was not using his cultivation to pressure them, just his presence seemed to achieve the effect. “15 young and talented people, ready to join my class,” he said, his tone sounding all too rehearsed. “15 people with hopes and…-

Marlo’s Self Defense for beginners At a specific penthouse in New York, a small child had dozed off in the living room in front of the TV. Drool flowed down the side of his face and the various colors of the cartoon that were flashing on his innocent face made him look very adorable. His mother, who was standing over him, was smiling at her child – but her smile was tinged with sadness and anxiety. After a short while she picked him up and took him to bed, before tucking herself in beside him. She…

Bluebird Portal Even though Lex was at the peak of his physical fitness, he felt exhausted when he got home. He’d picked up an inordinate amount of Chinese take out on his way as well as a pack of cigarettes. He wasn’t really a smoker, he’d paid extra attention to ensure he never got addicted, and never kept any on him. He’d only occasionally buy them when he was feeling stressed, and would quickly discard the pack after smoking a few. Setting his food down on a table and turning on Netflix he…

The lab was a large, rectangular hall with various machines placed in glass cabins. A few people in lab coats were gathered around each machine discussing things in whispers. A few people were getting tested at various machines but Lex could not tell what the machines were for. “Let’s get the boring stuff out of the way shall we,” Hamid said, grabbing a clipboard a doctor brought to him. “Since you are currently in the Body Tempering realm, your registration is currently quite simple. Other than…

Lex frowned as he mulled over what Jessica told him. It seemed like he really had underestimated the dangers that came along with cultivation. He thought, similar to the many novels he’d read, once he started cultivating he’d have a huge advantage over everyone and people would admire him wherever he went. Now it seemed like he needed to be more careful. As for joining an organization, it all depended on what the requirements were. Lex was about to continue asking more questions but the car came to an…

Cultivators on Earth Lex was taken aback and the surprise showed clearly on his face without the Host Attire to help him control his expressions. For a moment they both just stared at each other before they both quickly regained their composure. “How can you tell?” Lex asked, not bothering to try and hide the fact that he was cultivating. He needed to learn more about cultivators on Earth, and how he could come in contact with them. An opportunity such as this would be impossible to find…

With a thought Lex returned from the Inn back to his apartment. He could return from the Inn back to wherever he entered with a thought. Returning back to the Inn, however, took a few minutes, during which if the process was interrupted it would be cancelled. Lex wasn’t sure why there was a difference in coming back from the Inn to going there, but it would go away when he raised the Inn level. Or so he assumed. The first thing he did when he was back was check on the Fancy Monocle. He was really…

It was 6 in the morning, daylight was slowly creeping up, painting the horizon in a golden hue. A cool breeze was blowing and the soft tweeting of a few birds could be heard in the distance. Lex sat in a garden chair, a cup of hot chocolate in his hand and before him on a table lay a notebook full of scribbles and random notes. Yesterday when Lex returned to the Inn it was already night. Bastet and Falak had not left either of their rooms nor requested anything either, so there was not much to do. Lex was…

Mo’s Blessing disappeared from the list! In the few moments during which Lex read the list and was deciding, someone actually took Mo’s Blessing! Was it the being who had it in his collection, or did someone else use it? It didn’t matter, Lex suddenly panicked. With one less option, he knew which one he had to choose and after giving the Bangle one last look filled with temptation and longing, he quickly selected Regal Embrace. Living was the most important, and maybe he could get another chance to…

Lex led the cat Bastet to the lobby and gave her a tour of his humble establishment. Initially he had been very pleased with the manor, but while showing her the eatery, the lounge and the back garden he was all too aware that Mary had said the Inn was at most acceptable for those at the Foundation Realm, and Bastet was clearly above that. He did not know exactly what requirements beings at higher power levels had and how he was expected to meet them, thus he did his best to make his place seem as…
