"The title dual pioneer allows you to gain an extra class. It will bourgeon your dual mind skill. The higher the level you reach, the more times you will be able to split your mind. The dual mind skill, will double every five levels. "
"Please state the parameters of your second class. This class must differ from your first class choice to avoid a class between abilities. You do not have a time limit due to your title as a pioneer."
"Hahaha!" Will laughed aloud.
His face contorted in hysteria and a tinge of insanity.
"If this is a dream, I never want to wake up!" Will thought to himself in excitement.
"Wait-"
Will knew that he needed to focus. He still didn't know what exactly was happening, but he knew that it was important and that he needed to focus.
"Water Meister –Humph!"
He scoffed at the thought of this class. It sounded weak, and nothing like a class that dealt with martial arts. Will was a bit irritated by this, but he was pleased with his title of Dual Pioneer. He chose his class and was awarded a title, now he had time to think. He sat cross-legged in the middle of the sidewalk.
Will thought "Hmm, something that has to do with swords –and Dao."
The Dao was still a confusing concept for Will. From what will understood about Daoism, it was about becoming one with nature, etcetera. He still had much to learn about Daoism. As a result of all of his research about eastern religions, mysticism, and Warcraft, Will created his own Dao, his own philosophical path to walk through life. He did mention the Dao when he was choosing his parameters. However, he could not fully elaborate on what he wanted, because of the time limit. Will couldn't ask for a class that had Dao in it. A Dao is something personal that each individual walks.
"Sigh –"
"I can't just ask for a Dao... So, I will ask for a class that will improve my mind and body! I just need to include the art of the sword." Will thought.
The title of Water Meister was important, because water is one of the five elements that are fundamental in Daoism. But, he now needed to think of a way to combine this power over water with the use of a sword. It took some time for Will to organize his thoughts once again. Then, he stood up and said,
"For my second class, I want a class that uses Mana and Qi. Qi must be the primary effector and Mana the second. The class must improve my physical and mental ability with the way of the sword; and it must increase my insights into whichever Dao I pursue.
The class should have some immunity to blade attacks and place a restriction on any being using a blade against me. This must increase as I grow in knowledge and wisdom in the way of the sword. The class should grant me knowledge on blade techniques. I want the class to have the strongest Mana and Qi development and refinement possible, specializing in the way of the sword. This must be compatible with my physique and improve my physical ability especially agility and endurance.
All that I have said must be passive and have the ability to grow with my level."
"Parameters accepted. Please wait. Due to the specific requirements stated, the system will take time to find a class that meets the parameters."
"It worked?" Will thought.
"I thought that it might not, because I was excessive. I don't even know if the system has anything to do with Daoism or something similar. I hope I didn't waste my time!"
"Agh!" He exclaimed.
"What do I do if it just gives me something random –Then what?"
Will could only wait and worry about what was to happen next. He immediately began to regret what he said and thought about what he should have said instead. He became so anxious that he started to bite his nails.
Somewhere in a small, simple, dark room, a middle aged man meditating on a prayer mat. He wore plain black robes, but nothing in particular stood out about him. He was not much to take notice of. It was almost as if he were a part of the room, and that it was empty. Suddenly, the door slid open and a woman ran in shouting.
"Lord Modus! Please forgive my intrusion, but there is an urgent matter regarding the system!" The woman said as she bowed.
The man opened his eyes to reveal their dark brown color and cast his gaze towards the woman. There was a hint of amusement on his face.
"Adelda, I told you before, you don't have to bow every time you see me. I don't like that sort of thing." Said Modus and signaled her to rise.
She rose, but then fell to her knees. Annoyed at this, Modus said again,
"I told you, I don't like that sort of thing!"
Adela looked into his eyes with reverence and worship beaming from her expression. Modus' expression melted from annoyance to helplessness.
"Sigh, anyway, I know that you wouldn't disturb me for something trivial. What is so urgent?"
"Yes Sir, Firstly, a lower planet has been added to the system."
"Oh my, that is indeed quite rare." Modus said as he raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"I am unable to access the system to ascertain the reason why. I came to consult with you Lord Modus."
"Hmm. Let me see."
Modus closed his left eye and began to move his left hand from left to right. He could see things that Adelda couldn't. His expression changed many times. Finally, he opened his eye and threw a rock to Adela. The rock appeared out of nowhere, but Adela caught the rock and ignored its sudden appearance as though she knew it would happen.
"Inside that, you will find an explanation as to why earth was deemed worthy to become a part of the system. Now –I hope the other reason is important enough to disturb my meditation, otherwise, I will be angry." Modus toyed with Adelda in a playful tone, but she knew that he was very serious.
Adelda swallowed and said, "Sir, normally I would have approached another system administrator with this issue –However, before you left for your meditation, you told me that I must only disturb you if an interesting user appears. I believe I have found one."
Modus grinned like a child, yet somewhat sarcastically. "Oh? What did they do? This they gain a rare ability, or level up quickly? Perhaps they unified an upper world? If it's any of these, I will be somewhat disappointed."
"Sir, I assure you, they did something far more interesting and rare. Please look at the user called Peerless Dao Master on Earth. He is a boy of 16, in the city of Cardiff."
Modus grew suspicious of the anticipation on Adelda's face. He closed his left eye and waved his left hand abut again.
"Hmm, His beginner stats are normal. His class is –oh –Water Meister? It is rare are indeed. That is a Duos Class with much potential that is usually wasted. Gaining a Duos Class in the beginning is interesting, but I don't see why you are acting so smug about this."
"Sir, look at his second list of parameters."
"Second parameters? That means that he intentionally chose a Duos Class. He must be smart –interesting. Keep an eye on him Adelda. If –"
"Sir I apologize for interrupting, but you are missing the point! Please look at the parameters he has requested for his second class."
Modus was irritated that he was cut off in the middle of his sentence. No one would dare interrupt him. However, he decided to see what this woman was being so persistent about.
"Sigh –Fine, let me see –WHAT?"
In surprise and amazement, Modus stood up gawking at what he was reading. As soon as he finished reading, he started to pace back and forth in the small room, mumbling to himself. He stopped, and then grinned devilishly at his thoughts.
"Adelda, I assume no one else knows about this?"
Adelda nodded fiercely.
"Good! I will take full control of the conquest system in this world; I will also take charge of this boy and his class. You will be promoted three ranks and from now on, you will work directly under me, and no one else. "
"Th ... th... three ranks?"Adelda stuttered out her words in bafflement.
She was so thrilled, her body shook. She was just a minor system controller. She had just been promoted three ranks, because of the discovery she made. It could take centuries to be promoted just to a sub rank! She immediately expressed her gratitude and handed the control of Earth's system to Modus before being told to leave the small room.
In his dark room, Modus grinned as he sat down. His eyes lit up with excitement.
"A Dao of the sword. Huh, he didn't ask for power, but understanding. If I do this right, this boy may change everything. Ha! Let's see –he needs some sword Qi –Stances –Flexibility. It seems that Adelda forgot to check this boy's history. It's a good thing I didn't, hehe. What a frightening –"
Modus' voice trailed off while he closed one eye and started waving about using both of his hands this time. His hands moved so fast that they were blurs.
After a half an hour of waiting, Will finally heard the sound he was waiting for.
"Ding!Congratulations, you have been awarded the class –"

Solitary Sword Sovereign Immortality Is All I Ask
...The voice suddenly went silent. The world suddenly stopped. All that was moving stilled, even the birds were frozen in their flight. The color drained from the world, becoming monochrome, black and white."What!"Will was again surprised and left bewildered at what was happening around him. What seemed to be a man in dark oriental style robes appeared in front of Will, he was taller than Will, and wore a red dragon's face mask. It was Modus. There was something intriguing, yet daunting about his presence. Will immediately could tell that this man was not a normal person, he was powerful. His very being exuded an aura of supercilious authority."I am Modus," said the darkly clad man."Who are you?" Will was brought out of his paralysis of bewilderment."As I said, I am Modus. Understand this –I hate repeating myself." The man replied.Will was nervous; he was not sure how he should deal with the situation. He ra

As soon as Modus faded away, the world melted into its usual color and time began to flow again. Will still stood by himself in the middle of the street. He acted rationally when everything was happening, but the reality of what happened suddenly hit him. He felt as though he had taken morphine. He was numb with euphoria. His worries melted away and his mind swayed as though he was floating in water. Yet, he started to wonder what he should do next."Become immortal? How am I supposed to do that?"Will was familiar with the concept of ascension into immortality. His Chinese novels heavily included this idea as part of the main story lines. Unfortunately, in most of the novels that Will reads, this was a feat regarded as almost impossible. The characters that were able to achieve this state had a lot of help from other characters and developed surpassing talents."Sigh"
Solitary Sword Sovereign The Art of the Solitary Sword Sovereign
The information that flowed into Will's mind was about cultivation. There were three types of energy that a human was able to use: Qi, mana, and yuan. Qi was the energy of the body. Mana was the energy of the spirit. Yuan energy is a fusion of the two. There are different yuan energies, one that is primarily Qi, one that is primarily mana, and one that is a balance of the two. Once a player has reached a certain level of skill and ability, they are able to use yuan energy. The closer a player's yuan energy is to a perfect balance of the two, the better and more affective the energy is. It is when yuan energy is at a perfect balance, having equal amounts of Qi and mana; it is considered very high quality. These players are then called a practitioner. Practitioners have a greater advantage of other players who cultivate and absorb energy from the universe, because they are able to use both types of energies.Cultivation is

...Next thing Will knew, he was in a beautiful garden. It was decorated with beautiful flowers of all kinds. There was a big pond near where he was standing, and next to it was a table with two chairs. On the tables were delicacies, food like sandwiches, pigs in a blanket, cheese and many other things."This is..." Will was stunned by the sight. Normally he wasn't much for aesthetic beauty, but he couldn't help but marvel at the sight, especially the food. Will was a serious glutton. He loved any food, so long as it had starch, cheese and meat, especially meat.Will was once taught an African word by his best friend. It was nyama. It meant meat. Will noticed that his friend would always shout this when he saw a girl with an ass. At first he found it odd, but eventually he was doing it too!"Please join me." Modus was standing right next to Will. He pointed to

Chapter 7 – Sword Totem...Will was in the zone! He finally felt like he somewhat understood the essence of those words! It was only when he was about to die, that the idea hit him. Death was the end of a life! A previously obvious assertion that now bore so much weight.Or one could say the absence of life. Just like how darkness is the absence of light, or cold is the absence of heat. To understand death, one needs to start by understanding life.In everyday life, the cycle is constantly around us. When we accidentally kill an insect, or when we pluck a flower or even killing rodents in your own homes. Every human usually ignores such acts, yet they are in fact killing.Every human is a killer. When you engage in any one of these things you feel no revulsion, nor do you feel any guilt. In fact, it even feels natural.So why is killing other humans is treated differently? Because we make it relevant, we say we are justified in killing other creatures, because they are not sentient,
Solitary Sword Sovereign First Kill
Chapter 8- First KillWill suddenly found himself in a vast jungle. It looked like a rainforest, vines crawling everywhere, the tree branches connecting, forming a vast network. In his entire vision, all he saw was green, with the occasional splash of color here and there.There were insect like noises all around him. It looked to be daytime.Will was rather surprised.This is a dungeon?To be honest, the place didn't look like a dungeon; it looked more like an episode from a program on a nature channel. Will put the rusty sword into the storage ring and decided to look around.[Welcome to the dungeon King Yama's Gate]These words suddenly appeared in Will's vision.Ok. So this really is a dungeon. Will also noticed that his senses and strength were weaker here. As if they were being suppressed in some way. He was still far stronger than when he was a normal person, but he was feeling weaker than before. It took Will a few seconds to get used to this change.After the floating words

Chapter 9- Perfecting Technique through Slaughter...Suddenly, Will felt the ground tremble slightly; his senses were heightened, so he could tell that whatever was causing the earth to shake was nearby. He looked around and found a tall tree.It was the tallest tree around, and it was perfect for Will's purposes. He climbed the tree quickly with nimble and agile movements, and when he reached the top, he looked around, only to see a ridiculous sight.Whatever was approaching, it was coming from all around Will, and as it got closer, trees were mowed down as if they were grass.This sounds like a monster horde. Indeed, just as Will thought, it was a horde of monsters. Or rather to be specific it was a pack, a pack of large grey wolves which had encircled Will from all directions. At first Will was happy. With such a great amount of enemies he could get the practice he needed. Soon however, Will's smile turned into a frown.The number of wolves seemed endless. It was as if a massive

Chapter 10- The Valley of the Shadow of Death...For the first time in my life, I truly feel powerless.It had been many hours since the start of the battle between Will and the horde of guardians.This horde was much smaller in number than the previous one. There were only ten thousand at most in this one, were as the previous horde had hundreds of thousands, if not more.Unfortunately, it seems the difficulty was inversely proportional to the size. This small horde was far more difficult than the previous one. Not just because these wolves were stronger, but more importantly, because they were far more intelligent.When they attacked, they did so with order and near perfect teamwork. Unlike their predecessors, these enemies knew how to use their numbers, and their abilities well.They always attacked in groups of threes. One would attack with a barrage of wind blades; each one compact, powerful and well placed, then another guardian would attack from the opposite side with its claw

Swoosh!A humanoid silhouette was sliced in two instantly, its body parts falling to the ground as if they had been lifeless, to begin with."Hah."Next, to the body, a young man sighed in relief. He was of a medium build, less than average height, with dark hair, brown eyes, and a light brown skin tone.Normally a person his age should be filled with the vigorous nature of youth, however, this young man appeared somewhat more mature. His heaving chest and deep breaths revealed that he was tired.His expression displayed indifference, his faced hardened by constant battle. He was brandishing a sword, the edge of the blade covered in blood.Surrounding him, there were approximately 50 or so corpses littering the floor."Damn, these guys didn't give me enough experience!

...As Will traversed the tunnel, he met a variety of different monsters, each troublesome in their own way. Yet, despite their formidability, each time Will fought he would adapt and achieve victory. The same applied even for the last batch of creatures he had to fight. Humanoid creatures that had blades as arms and an eel-like head. They were called gagan and had an E+ rank. Despite their rank, one was not that much for Will to handle, and a group was also easy to deal with.The Gagan were humanoid both in form and in nature, their team battle tactics were worthy of praise as far as Will was concerned. Their ability to use spaces and their communication was uncanny. All Will heard was something akin to squealing. Nevertheless, these squeals were definitely more than they seemed. The Gagan did not have any extra abilities besides having a tough exterior and being very nimble.Their blade-like limbs made for effective weapons, but there was no weapon that could pose less danger to Wil

What a Man Does for Big Butt's...
...The first opening was an important event, particularly because it determined ones future cultivation path. Many warriors did countless hours of research and searched for areas with the most ideal locations for a breakthrough. Some even had so many resources they had access to places where world energy was so dense it liquefied.Since one's first opening decided their future path, it was crucial. Will had used his first opening to comprehend not an ability, not a technique, but an intent, and from one of the five constitutional base elements at that! Such an achievement was absurd. This had without a doubt meant that Will's path along the Dao of water would be smooth sailing if he trained hard enough. Little did Adelda know that Will did far more than just understanding a bit about water intent...At some point, Will had opened his eyes and had walked out of the water. His eyes were shining with incredible vigor and his entire temperament had changed. Aside from the obvious bruises

...Spiritual veins were veins that transported energy from the pores on the skin, to and all around the body. Meridians, on the other hand, were broad valve-like checkpoints that existed in the complex network of spiritual veins. There were actually thousands of spiritual veins, but only 20 of such meridians.Places, where spiritual veins intersected, were called acupoints. One could freely operate one's acupoints to assist in directing energy, but meridians were different.There were two types of meridians, called the Eight Gates and the TwelveDoors, respectively.How many meridians you had unsealed at birth was a measure of your cultivation talent. Especially your Gates: the more you trained, the more Doors you could open. The number of Gates however never changes, you are stuck with that number for life.In the beginning, Will had six Doors that were unsealed and five unsealed Gates.Each of the Doors was trait less and thus

At the bottom of the lake formed at the base of the waterfall, was an underwater cave. Within that cave was a young man, dutifully training his sword technique. This cave did not exist when Will first arrived here; he had dug it out to make it his temporary home.The creatures above ground were far too strong for him to fight constantly. Will had no idea where Modus had sent him, but he knew this was definitely a higher level area. The average creature here could easily give the Storm Wolf King a good fight.Thus Will decided to create a hideout for him to rest after a good day's adventuring. The inside of the cave was large, about 800 meters in diameter. The entrance to the cave itself was not that large and was usually frozen shut. Will would only create an opening while he was leaving or entering.Within the cave was a small lake with a somewhat large patch of land in the middle. From above the ground, it looked like the letter O with the water constant

.."Fuck off!"Swoosh!It took nothing more than an instant, and yet, at that moment, a creature with an E+ rating was beheaded by Will, its existence passed off as if he was swatting a fly.Will was running with all his might. He had been moving so fast that he could barely tell what the creature was. Even the usual notification that the system gave hadn't reached his eyes. All he had seen had been a weak, furry, humanoid obstruction, so he had taken care of it.With a frantic expression, Will ran forward as fast as he could within the jungle. From time to time he would come across a 'powerful' creature, but like the ape-monster from before, it would be greeted by Will's sword and sudden darkness.Will did not care who or what he ran into. Be it a creature, trees, rocks or any other obstruction within his path, he would merely swing his sword and make way. All his focus was on trying to make sure he was going in a straight line.

Splitting The Earth
...As Will heard Modus mention intent, he could not help but gulp. This is what he had been waiting for. He more or less understood energy, so Modus' explanation on that was Will's secondary objective. His real target was to hear Modus talk about intent. However, thanks to his explanation Modus had answered a few of the questions that had been pestering Will. Yet, even more, questions were created."Intent is very difficult to describe or explain, especially to those who have not yet experienced it. However, luckily you have quite an experience with it already. It's just that you did not realize It." said Modus with a cheeky grin.At this point, Will had more or less recovered quite a bit so he was able to sit up straight. Even as he sat up, his eyes and focus never stopped payingattention to Modus."Wait...could it be bloodlust?" said Will with some uncertainty."Exactly! Well done. To be honest you were very close to that conclusio

...Under normal circumstances, if one were to be compared to an animal, one would be offended or displeased to some extent. Modus had done the exact same thing to Will, and had compared him to a dog no less!Despite this seemingly cruel comparison, Will realized that Modus had been quite generous in implying that he was a dog. As far as Will was concerned even if he had been called an ant Will would still have felt that Modus was justified. Such was the gap between an Immortal such as Modus and Will."This is indeed a difficult question, thus in order to solve that problem the system was created. We, the intelligent, would forcibly teach you, the dog, how to read and write. For that to happen we have to make you evolve first. That is the purpose of the system. To speed up the evolution of mankind across the universe and bring out its true potential."After a while Modus had revealed what Will felt few people would know. This was without doubt valuable info

He could barely remember what had happened before he had lost consciousness, so he looked around to see what had occurred.As he started to take in his surroundings, Will felt something he had not felt in a long time; fatigue. Not fatigue of the body, but the fatigue of the mind. All of his 64 minds could barely concentrate on anything at all right now. Let alone think, he could barely even take in his surroundings.As he was lying down, Will's weak mind decided to simply cultivate, to recover the lost mental energy that had been launched. After cultivating for what seemed like many hours, Will's mind finally achieved its prime state. He started to remember what had previously happened.After he had killed the Helios Warhawk, even though exp had entered his figure, his body had started feeling weak all of a sudden.
