Accursed Awakening

In the year 2005 on a randomly regular weekday, the normalcy of the world took a suicidal nosedive and died. Without any warning, any foreshadowing or even a slight hint of the consequences to come, every one in the world awakened. Some were blessed with the power of flames, wantonly setting buildings and people alight to satisfy their desires. Others were blessed with sound, deafening the surroundings with loud sounds or lack thereof. That day, 12 different kinds of abilities manifested themselves in every living human being without regard for their age, gender or even societal status, and as expected, chaos became the new order. Human beings fought among themselves, seeing each other as enemies due to the absence of a common one. Eventually the heavens answered their silent plea. ****** In a dark alley of a major city, a woman with a weak plant affinity was being chased by two men with wide grins on their faces, their eyes betraying the fate that awaited her. She had long given up on hope, aware of the current situation of the world she knew that she could only depend on herself to remain safe. Willing the energy in her body to respond, she called upon the hidden weeds and tough patches of grass that refused to die no matter how much civilisation and modernisation progressed. With slight awe, she watched as the grew bigger, dividing the alley into two and blocking her pursuers' vision of her. Or at least that was the plan until one of them, a fire user burned the weeds to ashes in under 10 seconds by the touch of his palm. The other guy, noticeably bigger opened his trench coat where different items, all metallic in nature, flew out of and plastered the woman on one of the moss covered walls, not that hygiene was anyone's primary concern at the moment. Seeing the lecherous look on their faces, the woman was filled with even more despair and resentment than before, to the point that her negative emotions were given form unbeknownst to any of them. All the three saw was a swirl of dark purple energy beside them as a figure stepped out of it a moment later. A creature capable of being termed as nightmare fuel, with it's woodpecker beak, leopard body and four housefly wings on it's back. Without giving anyone the chance to admire it any longer, it lunged at one of them, it's weight and claws rendering the man as easy prey. The other man, the fire user let loose a stream of flame in hopes of killing it, only to find it diving towards him from the air. In the end it was left with the beast and the woman, but after a brief acknowledgement from its 6 purple eyes it flew off, leaving the woman stuck on the wall to question her luck and her life. That day humanity realised through the sacrifice of two men that there was another world out there filled with powerful creatures capable of ending humanity as a whole. As for those capable of opening a connection to such a world? They received the brunt of humanity's attention in the form of persecution.

Cultivation Start From Archery

Chen Sanshi transmigrated into a chaotic world at the end of a dying dynasty. Fortunately, he had the Grinding System by his side. At first, he just wanted to make a living by hunting—earn some money, and one day join a martial arts school to learn a bit of fist and kickwork. His dream was simple: to become a modestly wealthy man who could live comfortably. But heaven never follows one’s wishes. Officials were greedy and oppressive, martial schools bullied commoners, and to survive, Chen Sanshi had no choice but to enlist in the army, becoming an archer. Starting from [Archery (Beginner)], he ground day and night until he reached [Ten-Thousand-Stone Bow—Every Arrow Unavoidable]. He could shoot down an enemy general’s head from one hundred li (about 50 kilometers) away! From [Basic Spearsmanship for Infantry], he pushed himself beyond limits until he mastered [Dragon Spear of Nation-Suppression—The More He Fights, the Braver He Becomes]. Standing firm with his spear on horseback, he alone could roar and make one million enemies retreat! Years later, Chen Sanshi had fought north and south across countless battlefields. He was now unmatched under heaven, commanding two hundred thousand elite iron cavalry. As his generals draped the imperial yellow robe over his shoulders, he looked helplessly at them and sighed, “You all… you’ve really made me suffer, you know?” ______________________________________________________________________ You can read advance chapters of this novel and other novels in my patreon patreon.com/NO_NAME1412
