The System Guild

Chapter 8

"Silver--oh wait...yeah, you're not here..." Cheng Feihung finally felt alone now that the only one who understood him was gone.

It had been a month since that last incident. After the morning court and talking among officials, Master Cheng Yu would bring back his two sons to the estate. They both enter the study and their father would evaluate their work. Sometimes Cheng Feihung would be praised, other times it was Cheng Wu, the older brother. Since the two of them were recently accepted to the court, there was bound to be a competitive tension between the two brothers.

It was already night when Cheng Feihung was finally able to relax. By relaxation, Cheng Feihung enters his space. His space had been at level 7/10, so the quantity and quality were greatly improved.

Cheng Feihung floated down from the sky, no wind blew at his clothes or hair as long as Cheng Feihung commands the space to be still. He glanced around his space and laughed.

"Was this how I really left it as?"

It was a tropical resort.

The large mansion had a modern and clean look. The wall facing the large ocean was just windows and the balcony was wide with a clear blue pool. White lounge chairs carried indigo towels. The house was on a hill, surrounded by palm trees. One trees carried coconuts, others had bananas. Near the back of the mansion was avast garden with ready-to-harvest fruits, herbs, and vegetables. The house had five bedrooms, two living rooms, a gym, a large kitchen, a library, a study room, and a theater. The ecosystem also contained animals outside the house and marine life within the ocean water.

With a man dressed in dark blue robes standing at the balcony, the sight was incredibly silly.

Cheng Feihung covered his mouth, trying to suppress his laughter. As he walked by the kitchen counter, a Polaroid camera sat long abandoned. He picked it up and took a picture of himself. Walking through the hallway and upstairs, he finally reached the study room. The walls were tall and made of bookshelves. This room did not carry any literature as these bookshelves were full of albums. He picked up the album on the desk and seeing that it was still opened to a blank page, he delicately slipped the new picture within the sticky page. He turned the page back, seeing that it was the last life he had. Unfortunately it was not a picture of "Germ." Frowning, Cheng Feihung fluidly took out a sketchbook and some pencils to draw the portrait. After he finished drawing "Germ", he slipped the paper between the album, just between "Cheng Feihung" and "*****".

He flipped the page to an empty slot and left the album there.

As he went back outside, he closed his eyes and raised both hands in front of him and levitated off the ground. He moved his left arm behind him and opened his eyes. Looking down at the tropical resort, he sighed and swiped his right hand from the right to his left. Immediately, a transparent blue screen appeared underneath his hand.

"[Activate Update]" Cheng Feihung read.

The space began to distort and expand. Two more islands shook out of the water and sandwiched the main island. They were both equipped with a similar mansion. On top of one mansion was a wide arena for physical training while the other island sported a meditation site.

It's best if I cultivate my strength to match my inner energy. Cheng feihung gazed at the sky where the sun bashfully peeked through the fluffy clouds. The birds sang as they soar through the sky and danced throughout the foliage.

"Ugh," Cheng Feihung whined and floated towards the arena. He grabbed a sword and began to adapt his body to his inner strength.
