MTL - Star Rank Hunter - Chapter 383 Implicit, space war

A series of short stories in the world of Toaru Majutsu no Index organized into chapters featuring Kanzaki Kaori as the protagonist, going around the world and space doing missions for the Church of Necessary Evil, however, there is more than meets the eye as each incident is connected.

One chapter was bundled with each limited edition release of the Toaru Kagaku no Railgun anime DVD and BDs, with all of them together being equivalent to a single normal Toaru Majutsu no Index volume

Villains.Characters who opposed the protagonist.There are charming villains, there are villains with a touching backstory, there are villains who are simply pure evil, there are villains you can sympathise, and there are villains who simply have that title because they aren't on the same side as the protagonist.But no matter what kind of villain you are, at the end of the day, you are just a stepping stone for a protagonist.But in this vast universe, where immortals can pluck the stars and gods can create the sun, there are villains who won't stand for their fate.They will trample over the protagonist and defy their predestined fates and declare to the heavens,“Villains aren't stepping stones!”

When Li Fan transmigrated into a new world, his life seemed unremarkable. He was moderately well-off, with a wife and children, but nothing extraordinary. Everything changed upon his death, when he awakened the ability Return to Truth: the power to virtualize an entire lifetime’s worth of experiences, run it as a simulation, and return to the age of twenty armed with that knowledge.With this ability in hand, Li Fan finally saw a chance to pursue the dream he had always harbored: eternal life. In other words, the path of immortal cultivation.But the world of cultivation was nothing like the paradise he imagined. After countless generations of cultivators plundering heaven and earth, the heavens had struck back. Mortals now carried the Immortal-Mortal Miasma within their blood, a disease that, when encountered by cultivators, led to cultivation decline and death. No technique could be practiced by more than a single person. Calamities descended from the Heavenly Dao without warning.In such a hostile world, where even the heavens themselves resist immortal cultivation, can Li Fan truly seize eternal life? Or will he meet his final end, his Dao dispersing back to heaven?
