Stuck in a Chinese novel
Chapter 389: Completion
Wei Jun came out of the castle after about two hours when many of his questions had been answered. The red dragon known as Seraph inside the castle remained elusive in many details and when asked for a reason, the simple reply came, "Some things have to remain a mystery."
Wei Jun didn't care if there was a great ploy at play here or if it was something else. What he knew for sure was there were many things going on behind the curtain, things that were beyond his current state of comprehension.
All said and done, he was shoved into another world, plucked from his usual life with no explanation whatsoever. He had to find many details on his own and even then, things had been very difficult for him. Now that there was a new detail before him, an entirely new scenario that he thought he needed to face, he turned out to be wrong, and very relieved.
Seraph had asked Wei Jun to sever the connection between this world and the world of the novels. The method to do so was difficult but Wei Jun was sure he could do it. He had to do it. After all, if he weren't to do so, then he would have to deal with problems from another world along with the destruction of the world of the novels and the protagonists of those novels.
'I'd rather commit harakiri.'
"Are you done?" Richard asked as he stood outside the castle, just where Wei Jun had left him, along with Morial who remained silent as always.
"Yes." Wei Jun replied. Richard nodded and waved his hand. The next moment, Wei Jun found his scenery being changed and all three of them were in the same grassy expanse they were before when Wei Jun arrived in that strange space through the dilapidated door.
"Tanya will take you where she had picked you up. As I understand, you still need to do something." Richard said as the door appeared behind him.
Wei Jun looked at the system panel and nodded.

Wei Jun looked at the two incomplete quests and sighed. He still had a lot of work to do.
He had come to the snowy mountains in the first place to eradicate a dark cult but now that he had discovered a connection with the cult, that plan was off.
What he needed to do now was to capture twenty female orcs and do something that would leave his name in this world for centuries. He just didn't know how to do that.
The answer, however, soon came to his mind. Just as the woman known as Tanya created the spell to teleport them in front of the Orc camp, Wei Jun looked at her and asked with a grin on his face, "Can you take me to a kingdom that's strong and has a firm standing?"
The hooded woman looked at him but Wei Jun couldn't discern anything underneath her robe. She asked, "Why?"
"Why indeed." Wei Jun said with a terrifying grin on his face.

"Haa... Would you look at this guy? Hey, if you drink on the job, the commander will chew your head off." A soldier told his colleague who was sitting down on his post, with a bottle of alcohol in his hand.
"Hya~ Stop spoiling my mood. The commander is having fun in his tent himself. Why can't we enjoy ourselves a little? Nothing happens here anyway." The drunk soldier replied and much to the dismay of their oath and job, the other soldier had to agree as well.
It was the city of Argus, the border city of the Kingdom of Agentine. Of course, it wasn't situated at the border of the kingdom where there was the threat of other kingdoms because on this border was nothing but a steep mountain range that made it difficult for any sort of invasion.
Of course, if a kingdom truly wanted to, they would have created magic circles or teleportation incantations to take over the city by teleporting an entire army but who in the world would waste so many resources for the city so useless?
The best this city was known was for nothing. The kingdom was even thinking of taking this city off its map and the support from the kingdom had lessened over the years, indicating that such a time wasn't too far away.
The soldier sighed and said, "Haa... Give me one too, you bastard."
And like that, the soldiers indulged themselves in alcohol, ignoring their duties because if they did so, then two hours later, almost everyone in the city would have been...
"Just what is happening?" The commander, who was indulging himself in worldly desires looked at the few hundred walking dead advancing towards him. He was a five star aura master and had seen a lot of things in his life time before settling down for such a comfortable job but even he hadn't seen such a thing ever before.
"What do you think is happening?" The only man who didn't seem dead in those few hundred walking dead walked forward and said, "I'm taking over."
Wei Jun extended his hand and before the commander could even react, his head splattered by what looked like a whip extending from Wei Jun's hand.
"What a bunch of idiots." Wei Jun couldn't help but remark as he made his way to the other side of the city. The city of Argus may not have been important at all but there was one point that everyone, even the neighboring kingdoms had failed to notice.
While the city of Argus itself was not important, it was still a prime location to invade the kingdom of Agentine without a hitch. The communications in the city didn't reach the other city and there was barely any influx of merchants to announce the fall of the city.
Any decent-sized army could invade the city, capture it, and pretend as if nothing was going on while they could easily recon and arrange their forces over time before launching a full-scale attack from a completely unexpected point.
From within the kingdom itself.
Still, Wei Jun wasn't going to do such a thing. He didn't have enough time to. Now that he had something in his hand that he didn't have before, he was eager to return.
But to return, he needed to deal with the current circumstances and complete the quests. So far, he had only obtained two rewards, an increment of five levels and the reward from completing the quest 'Dungeon creation' which was a whopping fifteen levels, along with a little something special.
"Can't wait to check it out. But first..." Wei Jun said as he arrived outside of the city and in the distance of about a walk for half a day, he could lights of another city.
Wei Jun smiled and made his way over there along with the walking dead consisting of about three hundred. He spared the citizens and noncombatants, only taking those who could fight. It was a pity the walking dead would lose their abilities they'd have prior to their death, but it couldn't be helped. They couldn't be killed so that was a great plus point in itself.
The advantage of the skill lied in the numbers and Wei Jun was sure by the time he'd arrive at the capital of the kingdom, he's have an army no one would be able to contend with.
"You are insane." Tanya, the robbed woman said as she appeared before Wei Jun. Wei Jun smiled and said, "I am very, very thankful for your help."
Without her, he couldn't have done it so easily after all. She was the one who had familiarized him with the geography of the kingdom.
Just that allowed Wei Jun to come up with a plan that couldn't be countered no matter what. At least not with the short amount of time he was giving the kingdom.
"I am doing so on the orders of the master." Tanya straightforwardly replied. Wei Jun nodded but he still pulled a few mana crystals and handed them to her. She looked at them without any expression on her face which Wei Jun couldn't see anyway since her face was covered by her hood.
"I suppose I should show my gratitude for these," Tanya said.
"Are they precious or expensive?" Wei Jun asked as he didn't know the true value of the mana crystals. The system had said it was an important resource and could help his subordinates but he was still under the impression that the mana crystals weren't more precious than miasma cores.
Tanya looked at him with a strange expression which Wei Jun couldn't see and said, "You have to be a hermit or an illiterate to not know the value of these."
Wei Jun simply shook his head and replied "I'm quite new here you see. Besides, I won't be here for long so learning is not the thing I'm most focused on at the time."
With that, she shook her head and said, "Let us depart then, I was not informed helping you would take such a long time."
Wei Jun nodded in appreciation before he turned to look at the city with a grin as he said, "You're right. Let's not waste any time. It's time to bring Chaos."
