It was late at night, and within his cabin, Daniel was quietly lying on his bed. In his hands was the pirate captain’s spatial bag, which Daniel had waited for a chance to inspect since the very moment he obtained it. Heimart and Ligart were sleeping, and the petite girl was still lying in her bed, completely hidden by her dark grey cover. Daniel injected a bit of his ki into the captain’s bag, forcing part of his consciousness to slowly seep into the bag. Inside it, almost as if following…-

As the warship sunk, the few experienced spiritual cultivators within managed to avoid drowning through the use of water essence, but unfortunately, not even they could escape Daniel’s finishing blow. In fact, the moment the pirates had retreated from the ship’s deck, Daniel had jumped back in the water, and dived right underneath the sinking ship. Usually, pirates were amazing swimmers, but today, water would turn into their worst nightmare. No matter if a martial or spiritual cultivator,…

The crossing from Cerulis to the island where the tournament was held, would last five days. Two nights and one day had passed since the fleet had departed from Cerulis’s harbor. Inside Daniel’s cabin, Heimart, Ligart and Daniel had spent the past day and a half talking, and becoming acquainted with each other. Unfortunately, no matter how long they waited for, they didn’t have a single chance to interact with the fourth passenger of their cabin, as he seemed to move from his bed only when…

"What tournament?" Asked Daniel with curiosity. A confused expression appeared on the old man’s face, which then asked hid "What other reason would you have to be here, if you’re not heading to participate in the tournament?" "I’ve just arrived to this city from the direction of the beach, I know nothing about this tournament.. What is it about?" Daniel asked. The old man fixed his clothes and cleared his voice, as if preparing to recount a legendary tale. Then, with a deep voice, he said…

Challenging the slow yet constant action of the waves, was a long beach made entirely of fine white sand. In the middle of this beach, a young man was standing silently. His feet were burrowed deeply into the sand, and with them, he felt the typical freshness of the grains that rested right underneath the warm surface. His clothes didn’t appear to be suitable for a trip to the beach, as they covered his body completely, almost as if he just came from a place with a much colder climate. This…

Within the frozen surroundings, dozens of young men and women stood, completely unable to move. No wind could be felt, no moisture in the air.. No sound reached their ears. The only one capable of feeling what was really happening, thanks to his spiritual senses, was Daniel. In the air directly above the building, a large scale battle was currently taking place. Boulder-sized stone hands rose from the ground, thunderbolts crackled through the space, and the moisture in the air evaporated as…

For the next few days, Daniel, almost completely devoid of karmic points, spent his time while quietly getting used to his martial and spiritual rune. Thanks to the two runes, everyone who wasn’t already aware of his cultivation stage, would see him as a common fourteen year old boy at the second stage of martial, and spiritual cultivation. The past few days had been a little slow for Daniel, which unable to leave the building, did not have any opportunity to gain karmic points, and therefore, was…

Daniel kept cultivating for the rest of the evening, and when the two rank 4 beast cores had disappeared from his hands, two hours later, he had consumed six hundred karma points. "Woah.. I should be careful when using the second level of ’Time is Precious’". He thought. As Daniel was in the middle of his thoughts, his two old teachers appeared within his room. They both wore satisfied expressions, as they had found Daniel cultivating instead of wasting his time like many talented individuals…

The screams, one by one, slowly came to an end. A quiet veil of flames kept consuming everything within the room, and as the last of the screams quietened, it started to abate. Daniel was still sitting on his unscathed chair, and the moment the veil of fire was extinguished, he started to hear the sound of crying. Not far from him, the man was desperately trying to make his way out of the morse of dirt and water. His eyes directed at the burned archives behind the old man’s desk, and his voice…

A tense period of Daniel’s life had started. He had the resources to cultivate, martial and spiritual arts to practice in, and he wasn’t in any need of money. But alas, there were still a few pressing matters which kept biting him in the neck. Like his debt, His uncle’s freedom, and last but not least, Mea’s safety. Of course, some matters were much more pressing than others. For example, paying his debt could be done at any time, and while saving his uncle was important, he still wasn’t in…
