Eternal Heavenly Emperor - Chapter 175 - 167 of the Tao Te Ching

Zombie Apocalypse? Been there, done that. Got the mutation inside of her to prove it.Seraphina made a wish, a chance to die human and be reborn a year before the world ended. She thought that if she could just go back to the life she had before, to the body she had before, then everything would be fine.That was what she was promised when the lab burned down. That was what she was expecting.But wishes never go the way you wanted them to. Instead of having a seed inside of her to keep her safe, Sera brought back the creature that had been trying to take over her body.And it was stronger than ever before.When the apocalypse came this time around, it wasn't the zombies she had to worry about. Blizzards, a new ice age, shifting temperatures, and a summer from hell were all become part of the course for the inhabitants of Country N. But when she tried to help a friend, secrets that should never have been exposed come to the surface.She told them that she was just lucky. That it really wasn't as heavy as it appeared, that it really wasn't as far as it appeared, that she really wasn't as purple as she appeared, she lied.Betrayed and taken back to live in a cage and be experimented on, Sera isn't going to forgive or forget the betrayal that she had experienced.And when an old friend from a past life shows up, ready to spill everything so that a new human race can emerge from the ashes.... well, Sera just isn't having it.She didn't survive what they did to her in Country M, but this time, she wasn't in it alone. More than willing to take on the government, the survivors, the zombies, and the elements, Sera will carve out her own place in the world.A world that she was never supposed to survive.Details:RH (No MM)MilitaryBetrayalZombiesAnd a hybrid that never should have been rebornOther Books:Apocalypse Series:Rebirth In The Apocalyse: Third Time's A CharmFight, Flight, or Freeze: The Healer's StoryBe Careful What You Wish For: A Zombie Apocalypse NovelStar's Universe:Star's ShipsPart Of Your WorldStand Alone:Dancing With MonstersThe Witch In The Woods: The Transmigration of Hazel-Anne Davis

Is magic really a wish machine?

No! In a universe where magic actually exists, the ultimate nature of magic must be as simple and beautiful as the laws of physics.

This is the story of a mass-produced magic warfare tool man who learned the ultimate nature of magic.

But so what?

Just as a bird can fly without understanding aerodynamics, so a wizard does not need to understand the ultimate nature of magic to use magic.

Knowing the ultimate nature of magic does not mean that the tool man can become a great magician.

But the desire for knowledge is human instinct, and curiosity is the first driving force of human civilization. Humans hope to understand the inner workings of magic, even if it is supposed to be unreasonable.

An inquiry into the ultimate nature of magic, without any justification!

The story in the book takes place in an age where steel dances with gunpowder.

Here, muskets are in the ascendant, armor is still the protagonist, military theories are changing with each passing day, and innovations in systems and craftsmanship are emerging one after another. And this world has one more thing than ours: magic.

The world is undergoing earth-shaking changes, and no one can stay out of it.
