Hmmph... this junior is a good seed [Cultivation Management Quest]

[occipitallobe]

Good Seed and Omake Spreadsheet Rules:

Firstly, if you have questions about Good Seeds and the like please read here. If that doesn't answer your question please ping me in thread, or on Discord.

If you write a new Good Seed, or write an omake, please update the spreadsheet if you have access.

If you do not have access, please ping a collaborator (Swordomatic, Alectai, Quest, TehChron, Insane-Not-Crazy, Humbaba, ReaderOfFate, Kaboomatic, no., BungieONI) letting them know what you want and they will update the spreadsheet here. To gain access, you will need a gmail account of some kind. Throwaway emails are fine (I'm using one for the spreadsheet), but to gain access it's as simple as sending me either your email via PM, via DM in Discord, or just in Discord's #spreadsheet-requests channel.

This is mandatory. If a Good Seed does not record their omake by pinging collabs (or just requesting access and editing things themselves - this is the preferred option), I won't give out awards. If a new Good Seed is not recorded here, they won't advance. By doing this it makes the whole thing manageable for me - it's gotten pretty unwieldy!

-----------------------

Omake Writer Instructions:

There are four fields you need to fill out.

Omake Link, which is just a link to your first omake for the turn. This makes it easier for me to read them as I do the update - without this it's tough to know off the bat which omake were written this turn, and to properly

Requested Bonus, which is your requested bonus for your omake. You can leave it up to me if you like. You can see more info in the Good Seed infopost here.

Cultivation Aims. For those following unorthodox paths - higher than 9th Heavenstage or later than 7th Dao Pillar paths. Please put in what you are aiming for before you break through. I have left it as 'default'. If you do not edit it, I'll go with that.

Turn Notes - Do you want to do something specific? Enter a Secret Realm? Help the Clan out in some way? If you have something specific you want to accomplish on this turn, put it in turn notes so I can adjust your Fate around it.

All other fields are for QM use to record character information to properly run the flow of the game.

Zenos poetic emporium #1​

In the beginning there was heaven, weeping;
the festering wound of gold, seeping,
all under heaven get strewn far and wide;
with it a cry of unious pain echoes here and everywhere.

Many eons fly by,
The tyrannous naive offspring charge to the battlements,
As the beastly avatars discharge their vengeance,
The parties are in a bind.

Falling from high mountains down the dunes,
morale and spirits severing;
as the earth is trembling;
heaven signs above its runes.

All righteous rejoice and the demonic regroup;
licking their wounds from their horrid ritual unearthed;
All forces deploys, for their not-so-secret countercoup;
Against all hounds, the indomital Legions shall be rebirthed!

I am not gonna lie, trying to write something about characters I haven't written for in years at this point is difficult. Instead you get my first try in rhyming in easily a decade.

What do you guys think? I tried to tell a rough genesis story how Zeno sees the bronze Legions brith and eventual decline to the at max Nascentlevel Clan it has become. Is it historically accurate, lol no. It is belletristic and not supposed to be. But this represents Zeno's impression of his own Clan history quite well in my opinion.

This year I have almost no interest in Xianxia and raging against the heavens stories. Maybe this will change with a new year and some new stories?
