I blinked, as all eyes centered on me - the girls, Mr. Prince-Not-So-Charming, everyone.
"...Uh..." I muttered hesitantly. "Hi?"
"...And who are you?" the prince asked, as if only noticing me now.
"I'm, I am...uh..." I said, struggling to remember how to speak - or rather, how to respond to this question.
"He's our boyfriend," Qing Yue continued, happily clutching to my arm.
"Huh?!" the girls, prince, and I exclaimed simultaneously.
"W-Wait, since when was I-" I began, but was immediately cut off.
"Now then...Big Brother Xuan Kai, lead us to a place to spend the night at, 'kay?"
"Oho...yeah, that's right...we can't just sleep on the streets, after all..." Xiang Peng whispered seductively, joining in on the fun.
O-Okay. Stop, stop, stop. This isn't right. This was not how it was supposed to go.
Heya guys! Cyclxne here.
Interesting development! I introduced for the first time, Shanghai - or rather, the massive floating city known as The Fortress. At the center of The Fortress is an area of land known as Fragment - that is the true Magic Capital. The rest of the Fortress? That's just the slums, where gangs lived, formed by people who failed to reach Fragment before.
There are more rules to this test, which will be explained in the next chapter. Hope you guys are enjoying this volume so far! I'm really enjoying writing it. I think sci-fi is going to be hella interesting. c;
Anyway, that's all from me for now!
And as always, I'll see you guys in the next chapter~
