"This is going to take forever." Kaze gruffed while rolling his back in the tub, casually pushing as much glass into his back as possible. It wasn't breaking past the first layer of muscle tissue, so he tried pushing it in. Unfortunately, it only served to grind the glass into dust. "Perhaps I'll teach Evalyn the technique, and let her practice on me for a few hours." Kaze pondered, "It will be the first time I'll let her hit me with it in—" The emperor sighed again. His mind always flooded with…-

Evalyn's eyes trembled after hearing the word . "Large quantities of Qi can only be handled by those who cultivate with techniques or have physiques to support it." Kaze explained. "Yet they're pumping the world full of it in high quantities. Soon people will die or go insane, leading to people that attack people randomly like zombies. They're not infectious, as it's a meridian issue and treatable so long as someone can learn cultivation. However, it's also worse because they have full faculty to use…

Kaze stepped out of the shower, turned around, and waved his hand. Boiling water materialized from thin air, crashing into the walls and tub. "The stench is unbearable. I can't believe how… disgusting I used to be." He scoffed while summoning more water. Putrid-smelling black gunk lined the tub and the shower walls. It came from the twelve hours Kaze spent cultivating the first stages of the Onyx Definition body constitution. Cultivators used body cleansing treasures to release impurities before…

"I will be in closed cultivation for the next two days, three at most." Kaze explained to Jake as the latter dropped him off, "After which time I will begin fulfilling my obligations." Before Jake could speak, Kaze shut the shuttle's door and walked into his home. He then got onto his phone and summoned memories of various apps and security features. He pulled up Yanko, the largest platform that allowed anonymous posting, using a VPN. "I won't ever move freely again if this isn't anonymous." Kaze…

Jake watched in bewilderment as the geeky, acne-riddled man of eighteen made his stylist giggle and blush during the haircut. He was even more shocked when she snuck Kaze her phone number, which was painfully obvious because she needed to help him with his phone. After saying goodbye to the stylist, the emperor led Jake to Jackson Street Park in the city's center. Meridian City was a megacity with 18 million people, making it one of the largest in the world. It also had one of the largest harbors,…

Jake's eyes lit up when the emperor asked him to lead him somewhere they could post the video. He didn't have friends, so he enthusiastically led Kaze to his dorm room, filled with action figures and posters of his favorite bands. "I'm sorry I don't have another chair." Jake apologized awkwardly while motioning to his bed. Kaze closed his eyes and sat on the bed, triggering horrifying memories of his dark past. He had things to do and not enough time, so he begrudgingly accepted. Jake opened his laptop…

"G-Greg, don't." Evalyn pleaded as the athlete approached the emperor, "He's just a bit crazy." Kaze gave her a bitter, sidelong glance. "You're not dating anyone, so don't insult me, least of all out of pity. Okay, Eva—" Greg threw a sucker punch before turning back to Kaze. He planned to insult his bleeding body but turned just in time to watch a fist crash into his jaw. He stumbled back, crashing into a few students watching the impending beat down with anticipatory grins. The hallway fell silent…

"The killing must wait…." Kaze muttered under his breath. "You again. How much money would it take for you to film something and post it on social media?" He asked the geeky blonde-haired man next to him. "I… I don't want any trouble. Or to be involved in a m-murder—" "Murder? Cease such simple-minded rabble, you buffoon! You don't yourself killing someone. You let it spread word of mouth so people's imaginations magnify their fear." The emperor scoffed. "I want you to film me pummeling a few…

Kaze watched clouds pass his throne room's windows with an unreadable expression. While he appeared to be in his mid-twenties, the profound aura he exerted made the chamber suffocating. Only immortals at the pinnacle of cultivation could enter it. One such cultivator stood before Kaze. He was an elder man with long grey hair in a ponytail and a neatly groomed beard. While most who entered the room knelt by necessity, he calmly walked to the emperor's side. "You look dissatisfied, Emperor. It leaves me…
