MTL - Age of Adepts - Chapter 23 Escape from the dead

When Simon dies, it turns out there's more to combat than lightning reflexes with his controller, and the path to becoming a hero is more brutal than he can imagine as he descends into The Pit. Death after Death is a dark, time loop/Isesaki story with roguelike elements, that explores some of the common tropes in a different light.

‘I want to travel to a place unknown to the many…’

It was a passing wish to the weary and tired Eugene and she’d not think it’d ever come to pass… but it did.

She opened her eyes and found she was sent to a novel-like world she wrote in passing and became Jin Anika, the scorned queen notorious for her ruthlessness and undeserving of her status.

Queen Jin only sought and desired to see the destruction of this world — the villainess who met her untimely and miserable end at the hands of her husband, Kasser, the reigning king of the Fourth Kingdom.

While struggling to survive in the unknown world, King Kasser visited Eugene and demanded that a contract be fulfilled and come to fruition.

“Three years ago, we made a deal.”

It turns out the Queen was under a contractual marriage with King Kasser. The ultimate price? To bear him a child.

“A… a child?”

“Yes, my successor.”

Shen Fei was transmigrated to a world of beast taming and obtained the Supreme Bloodline through the transmigration.

Everyone was able to contract their own tamed beast. The stronger one was, the stronger their beast would be.

After activating his Supreme Bloodline, the first thing Shen Fei did was form a contract with the Divine Phoenix.

However, there existed an empress in the world.

She had control over almost all the resources in the world and could even see the outline of everyone’s life.

On a certain day, the empress noticed Shen Fei and when she activated her power to peek into his future, she was completely stunned.

Name: Shen Fei

Fate: Supreme Bloodline, Infinite Evolution, King of Beast

Tamed Beast: Divine Phoenix (Highest-grade)

Outline: Will build an immortal kingdom and become the King of Beast

A disappearing gold mine. An old family secret. An army officer carrying a grudge spanning two generations.

As a small time reporter at the local newspaper, Shen Yu already had enough on her plate. Biased managers, check. Long, brutal work hours, check. The department beauty snatching her big story opportunity, check. But now another problem has reared its head and it comes packaged in a young and attractive military officer. He is on the hunt for some legendary space gold and he will get her to help him, whether she likes it or not.

Secrets are abound and Shen Yu soon finds that not everything is not as simple as it seems. Even her own past becomes questionable the more time she spends on the quest. Events from decades ago are rising up to haunt her and she needs to find out the truth before it’s too late. If only she had a better partner.
