Solitary Sword Sovereign The Nail That Sticks Out, Gets Hammered
Chapter 12- The Nail That Sticks Out, Gets Hammered...The system had four ways of categorizing skills. The first method was through skill books, which are dropped by demonic beasts once you kill them. This is purely a random process that depends on chance, because monsters can drop many things besides skill books, such as items, scrolls, ores etc.Modus had ordered Adelda to remove this aspect from every kill that Will made. Apparently Modus said that this difficulty will 'temper' the boy and make him stronger. He also ordered her to make the boy's map and information options inaccessible. He made her modify the system around Will quite a bit, and often to make his battles more realistic and bloody.One can try and emulate a skill from a skill book, if you do it successfully, you gain the skill permanently and the system will reward you, depending on the difficulty of the skill, for example, Will's water blade. It is a very common skill, one that the system has, thus it does not cou
Solitary Sword Sovereign Blood Calamity Part 1
Chapter 13- Blood Calamity Part 1...At a slightly distant location, six giant wolves were flying in the sky. These wolves were slightly bigger than the guardians, but the aura they radiated far surpassed the latter. 5 of them were silver, and one was white. The white one was flying at the head of the pack. Its presence and its grandeur far surpassed the other five.Once they reached their target location, the wolves halted in midair, what met them was what could only be described as a mass graveyard. Thousands of corpses littered the ground, going as far as the eye could see.The ground had been stained red by the blood of the victims, limbs were scattered everywhere like they were grains of sand. This was not the scene of a battle, but of one sided massacre. Yet the most disturbing fact was, of all the thousands of dead bodies, almost none were intact.The white wolf and its companions howled in rage. Their howls echoed out for many miles, showing their anguish at the sight. This w
Solitary Sword Sovereign Blood Calamity Part 2
...In true battles, momentum was a key aspect of the battle, especially in battles involving more than two opponents. In Will's case, it was not just a matter of morale, the large wolf he had massacred had given him, for lack of a better word, a sh!tload of experience. This was without a doubt the greatest amount of yuan Will had ever received. As yuan madly gushed into Will's body, the headless corpse collapsed into the ground, the shockwave caused by this immediately cleared up the mist in the surrounding area. It was so much yuan, that Will immediately reached level 25. He could feel that his mind now had doubled in terms of parts. His mind had once more been powered up. Since part of the mist had cleared up, Will could now see the head of his victim [Storm Wolf General: An extremely powerful variant of storm wolves. It has the intelligence of a human child and has the ability to use it. It is not only intelligent but is also powerful; almost no creature at its level can de

...Fear of the unknown was something all sentient creatures had; it was the driving force for many fears, including fear of death. We fear death because we have never experienced it, one could even go as far as to say that no logic can get this fear out of you. We want to survive because we don't know what happens if we die. Do we disappear into nothingness? Or is there life after death? No matter what you believe, the driving force behind the fear of death is the fear of the unknown. It's not necessarily a bad thing either, this fear also drives curiosity, it drives us to understand, and it drives us to learn; which in turn drives us to become smarter. The wolves had the intelligence of a human, thus they should have the emotions of one too. Emotional intelligence is also part of human nature. Will was counting on the emotional intelligence these creatures had. They had just seen three of their comrades die, in a matter of seconds, and they had no idea how. They could clearly se
Solitary Sword Sovereign Ten Seconds
What the heck?? This is actually an earth-shattering battle!Will was baffled by what was happening. The ground near him and everywhere around him had been completely upheaved, the reason? The wolves were raining down a storm of what Will called wind bombs.These were sphere like objects, made up of wind that detonated on impact. The two remaining generals were the attackers. The king did nothing. He just remained still, observing Will the entire time. This made Will very uncomfortable like he was under the scrutiny of a microscope.This long distance attack was quite effective. At least it allowed the wolves to see what Will could do. The bombs had a large concussive blast radius of about five meters, and they moved quickly as well. Although their trajectories were much easier to predict than the wind blades, they did far more damage.Due to the massive blast radius, Will had to change the direction the moment a wind bomb was released because h
Solitary Sword Sovereign The Power of 4 Degrees
A grain of rice can tip the scales...Such was the perfect way to describe how delicate the struggle betweenWill and the king was.The king was all-powerful and dominant, baptized by constant battle and even Mother Nature herself.Will was a human who had a sharp mind and a plethora of skills that were extremely dangerous given that they were used in the right situation.The question in this situation was who would win? On which scale would the grain fall? Will did not want the answer to be within doubt. After gritting his teeth, he hurriedly mobilized all available parts in his brain in an attempt to come up with a solution. He was literally inside the jaws of death, and only a little bit of water was keeping him alive.What can I do? How do I get out of this?Will spread his awareness outside, in an attempt to understand his surroundings. The king had bitten onto the ball of water surrounding Will, and he was so desperate that

Swoosh!Breathe Will, breathe.Swoosh!Damn it! Wrong again! Breathe Will, breath.Swoosh!Sigh... Wrong again. That wasn't even close!White was all Will could see, white was what was affecting Will, and white was all Will could think of. The snow falling around him made all of the vegetation fade away into whiteness, blanketed by a myriad of unending snowflakes.Will was used to seeing snow; it should not have been much of a bother to him under normal conditions. But, unfortunately, he was not under normal conditions. All he had were his thin robes. He didn't even have shoes to cover his feet.Comfort makes one lose focus, besides, I need to connect with my surroundings. Okay Will, again, breathe.After breathing in slowly, Will grasped the rusty katana in his hands and swung forward.Swoosh!The sheer speed of the strike caused the very air around the young man to tremble. Any normal master of swordsmans

GulpWill couldn't help but swallow some saliva when he saw what the quest was. He had long been aware that the system would give out 'Quests' on special occasions from time to time, but he would never have thought that the first quest he got would be so difficult.True Strike!Boom!That phrase was deeply embedded in Will's mind, for it was a technique from the Solitary Sword Sovereign cultivation manual. However, it was at a stage that was so profound Will could only understand the technique's name. He barely understood anything else.The manual had given Will a plethora of information, and Will could barely make sense of it. It wasn't just difficult to understand, it also felt as if it wasn't in order. Techniques that were more powerful than the true strike itself were much easier to understand, yet simpler techniques like the true strike were sometimes more difficult to understand.This information was given to Will in the form of

Getting Ready
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! These demons are too weak; I just wasted five minutes for nothing!"After muttering to himself the man, returned his katana to its scabbard and checked his body, to ensure he was all in one piece. He was pleased with th

Boss, You There?
...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

Uh? Greatest Prodigy? Is that Food?
...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

Imparting Knowledge?
..."Woah!"With an abrupt shout, Will woke up from the land of dreams. 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. Will had continued to cultivate in a bid to resist this predica
