Year 11 of the Human Calendar - Southwest district of the Holy Land of Xue - Furukawa house

(Xiaoyan POV)

"Xiaoyan, Time to eat" Jiahan

Mom is calling me.

"Yes, I am going" Xiaoyan

I sit next to my little brother who was already eating his breakfast at the table.

"Lets eat a lot and move a lot" Wen

He likes to say that, just like his father.

"Today is your graduation day, are you ready?" Jiahan

He is already eleven years old, his system will awaken any day now.

"Yes!!" Wen

He is really looking forward to it.

"Your hair is still not ready yet, Little Wen" Xiaoyan

I caress his head, his hair was already disheveled so it doesn't matter if I do.

"I am already eleven, I am not little!" Wen

He protested.

"You will always be my little brother, Little Wen" Xiaoyan

He pouted.

"Enough of that, Wen go comb your hair and Xiaoyan get ready to accompany him to the school while I finish some orders" Jiahan

Mom works are really famous in the Holy Land.

"Eehhh?" Wen

He didn't like that.

"It will be something fast, don't worry" Jiahan

After that we finished our breakfast, mom went to the door.

"It is time for me to go" Jiahan

"Take care" Xiaoyan

"Bye mom" Wen

...

I am really happy.

After dad died eleven years ago, I thought that these days would never come back.

Thank you goddesses, and Thank you First King.

I will work hard to make the best clothes in this land!

Year 12 of the Human Calendar - South Wall of the Holy Land of Xue - On top of the wall corridor

(Usain POV)

"No irregularities, commander!" wall guard A

"Two Bronze Rank spiritual creatures down, commander!" wall guard B

I became a commander of the forces in the Holy Land of Xue.

"Disperse!" Usain

"YES, SIR!" wall guards

Those guards take care of the Bronze Rank spiritual creatures that can fly or that ignore the Spiritual Repellent.

If something stronger comes, the commander in charge at the moment will take care of it.

...

"Immigrants incoming!" wall guard A

After the destruction of the Heavenly Phoenix City, the rumor of a new city came afloat.

"Cultivators or commoners?" Usain

"Commoners, sir" wall guard A

"I will receive them" Usain

And they appear time to time to join us.

...

"Welcome to the Holy Land of Xue" Usain

...

...

As always, a woman with a pointy hat is waiting for me after my shift ends.

"Do you have some time for me?" Pointy hat woman

She smiles at me.

"...I suppose I do" Usain

Because I am the strongest Fire manipulator of the Holy land, every day she asks me to help her with some research.

Well, it is not like I hate her company...

Year 13 of the Human Calendar - Southwest district of the Holy Land of Xue - Shaolan laboratory

(Shaolan POV)

Interesting, really interesting.

There is just so much to see, I don't know where to start.

Since I came here there are just too much new stuff, it is like I entered a new world.

Mana Power, Spiritual Power, the System, the soul remnants, The human anatomy, the world invisible to the eyes.

Everything is just too interesting.

But it is better to focus on one thing at a time.

Mana Stones.

The way that the first king used to store mana. When I asked him how it is created, he responded...

"This Mana Stone is created by using some of my DNA, the skill of Earth Manipulation and the skill Mana Handling"

Maybe I cloud recreate something similar with my skills, but that would be boring.

The Mana Stone has a weakness, it can only be used by its creator. If anyone else breaks it the blue mist just disappears into the nothing.

During the planning stage of the Mana Stone he discarded another idea, the Mana Potion.

His skills weren't appropriate for that, but that is not my case.

I will create a new version of Mana storage.

...

...

There is also someone I find Interesting, but he doesn't realize my approaches.

That dense guy... Maybe it is time to be more proactive.

Year 14 of the Human Calendar - Southwest district of the Holy Land of Xue - Ranran house

(Qianshan POV)

I'm Qianshan Seong and I'm going to babysit my niece today.

"I am sorry for bothering you in a Sunday" Ranran

"There is no trouble, I was thinking of going to visit her" Qianshan

In fact, I come here almost every Sunday.

"..." Ranran's baby

She was sleeping peacefully in the cradle.

"The restaurant is always full on this day" Ranran

His husband is the owner and she helps him, or is more accurate to say that both of them own it now that they are married?

"Don't worry, her uncle is here to help" Qianshan

There is no way I am going to get bored of this cute baby.

"I am going out" Ranran

"Take care sister" Qianshan

...

Ahhh, this is happiness.

Thank you goddesses, and Thank you First King.

I will keep working hard as a commander.

Year 15 of the Human Calendar - Southwest district of the Holy Land of Xue - Alaslamia clinic

(Qianxun POV)

"Good bye and take care of yourself" Fei

My daughter was taking care of the reception.

"Good job Fei" Qianxun

There are no more patients, so I went to talk with her.

"Mom, when will I be able to start treating people?" Fei

It is the second time she is asking that this week, she is getting impatient.

"I already told you, You will keep treating frogs until you get the Cell Duplication skill" Qianxun

"But it is taking forever" Fei

"Patience my daughter, I think that at the end of the year you will be able to use it" Qianxun

"I cant wait to start, I want to be called a medic like you" Fei

I remember wishing something similar at her age.

"Huhuhu, you really are my daughter" Qianxun

"Of course!" Fei

She put her fists on her waist and said that proudly.

As always I thanks the goddesses and the first king for saving me that day, otherwise I would have lost this bliss.

Year 16 of the Human Calendar - Southwest district of the Holy Land of Xue - Hom and Mao house

(Mao POV)

I was cleaning the dishes in the kitchen when...

"Mao, I am home" Hom

She spoke from the door.

I leave the dishes for later and I go meet her.

"You are a little late, did some unexpected work arose?" Mao

She usually comes home at the dinner time, but now it is midnight.

"Yeah, about that..." Hom

When she enters my vision there was something in her arms...

"Aoo" Baby

Or rather, someone.

"!!!" Mao

I was too surprised to say something.

"When I was on duty, an injured man carrying a baby appeared in the far distance" Hom

Her eyesight is way better than others due to the Sharpshooter skill. If she says far, it was really far.

"I hurried in his direction, but when I reached him..." Hom

"I understand, so this baby..." Mao

"She didn't have a place to go, So I thought that we could..." Hom

So that is what this is.

"But... maybe you don't want... to have a baby with me...?" Hom

I smile at her.

"You dummy, how could I possibly not want a child with you?" Mao

...

...

"Honoka, that will be your name" Mao

"Ao!" Honoka

"She liked it" Hom

"From now on the three of us will always be together" Mao

Thanks goddesses and thanks first king, for saving this child.

Year 18 of the Human Calendar - Southwest district of the Holy Land of Xue - Outside of the house of Linjian

(Hikari POV)

As I walked down the street, I found myself in front of the house of the first king.

"Grandpa, today the Holy Land of Xue is still a land of life and peace" Hikari

This house remains silent as always.

"We still remember your last words to us" Hikari

And we will continue to do so forever.

"We, the residents of the Holy Land of Xue, will never give up" Hikari

I keep walking forward, hoping that one day I will see his smile again.
