Somewhere on Earth, in a small village surrounded by mostly barren land, a black cat was sitting comfortable on the roof of a shed. The cold night air did not seem to bother it as it looked at the villagers, as if surveying its realm and its people. The villagers were gathered around a bonfire and were mingling with one another in a warm and joyous atmosphere. Life was tough but it was pleasant. The cat yawned as if relaxing after a hard days work and was ready to proceed with its nap when it suddenly…-

Lex’s thoughts ran wild for a few minutes before he finally forced himself to calm down. Video games that let him run his imagination wild were always his favorite, which is why he had lost countless hours in games such as Minecraft. But too much freedom, too many options, had its own problem which often led him to start various projects at once without finishing any. But he had learnt from his mistakes and knew it was better to move systematically rather than haphazardly. His first decision, before he…

“Brain tumor!” Lex exclaimed in shock. “Yes,” Mary responded, “according to a full body scan you have a developing brain tumor which has been interfering with your normal brain chemistry. According to my deduction this is what has been primarily responsible for your demotivated state for the last 8 months. Other than this your body is suffering from various minor ailments as a result of poor diet, lack of exercise and other environmental factors. However, this is not a reason for concern.…

The voice was loud and extremely clear. It jolted Lex awake from his somnolent state and found that he had been lying on the sidewalk all night. Rubbing his aching head he looked around but could not find who had been speaking to him. He quickly dismissed the voice from his mind and ventured towards home in slight alarm. He couldn’t quite remember what he was doing last but he was sure that he had no intentions of taking a nap on the sidewalk, and he couldn’t help but think of all the diseases or…

In a small room, in the center of a star, in solar system of little renown, a slightly chubby man was lying in bed with his feet up in the air. As he stared at his toes unknowingly his mind wandered through his memories of any time he even remotely did something interesting. He had changed his position multiple times, and although with his cultivation it was impossible for him to get cramps, he did his best to find the most uncomfortable position possible so that in the unlikely chance he finally did get a…

Arthur woke up in the morning to the sound of strange noises outside. The sounds were faint, coming from far away, but Arthur's keen senses allowed him to prepare himself. "Myla, wake up," he said, shaking the sleeping woman awake. "The beasts are coming." "What? Where?" Myla asked, quickly getting to her feet. She looked around, but there were no beasts in sight, and it was still early in the morning. "The beasts usually come in the afternoon," she said. "Why are you awake so early?" Arthur…

They had gathered all the needed supplies for them to last a few days. That is considering they do not perish fighting the beasts in the following day. So, with that idea of trying their best not to spend the resources, Arthur and Myla decided to shower, not using the stored water, but the nearby river. "This feels so good," Arthur said as he took out his clothing, jumping in the water. The only thing he had on was his underwear, and Myla could not help but stare at his muscular body, and how…

Myla had taken the trial before, so she knew what to expect: a beast attack. The beasts were of all kinds, but most were fire elementals, and their power was equivalent to that of a rank 1 Official Mage. This was the same power that both Myla and Arthur had inside the trial. Myla could feel the difference, as she was much weaker than her real self outside of the trial. Arthur felt it even more acutely. He felt as if he was naked! But he knew he had to endure it if he wanted to find answers about…

The trial was not something Arthur expected. He never imagined his current power wouldn't matter inside of it, but that did not discourage him, no. He was a person who reached his current status by hard work and skill — a bit of luck too — so there was no way he would back down on trying. 'This trial may have the answer I am looking for. Also, dying inside has no penalties as well.' "So, do you want to go there tomorrow morning to try out? We can spend the night here," Myla said. She had…

The village looked the same every day, with nothing new happening. Arthur stayed in the same inn he had been the last couple of days, chilling before leaving. Myla did the same after visiting her father's tombstone. Arthur was not the slightest concerned about her running away — he would notice her departure, and she had no chance in terms of speed. It was early in the morning when Myla and Arthur left the island. Myla had a massive sword she always used as her transportation, and Arthur followed…
