Just stories written while im on the toilet or in the restroom in general

Three girls have found themselves trapped in a bathroom with no exit. With only speculation to make sense of their situation, their sanities reach an all-time low.

Lu Yan looked at the direction where Gu Mohan had disappeared towards. "My dear sister, don't panic. The drama has yet to begin."
…
In the apartment.
Gu Mohan kicked open the door and carried Tang Mo'er inside. The woman in his arms had her head hung low and she said quietly, "Let me down. I want to shower." 
"I'll help you prepare the water, hm?"
"No need." Tang Mo'er extricated herself from his arms and walked to her bathroom by herself. She closed the door and locked it without saying anything more. 
Gu Mohan stood at the balcony. The cold night wind blew strongly against his suit, forming slight creases in the darkness. Bending down slightly, he took out a lighter and lit a cigarette. His sexy, thin lips took in a long breath smoke and exhaled it out. The smoke enveloped his handsome and elegant face, enshrouding his features as he stood alone in silence.
After smoking three cigarettes, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at the luxury watch on his wrist. Half an hour had already passed, yet she had still not come out of the bathroom.
He threw the remaining half of his cigarette into the ashtray and walked to the bathroom door. Rapping his knuckles against the door, he intoned, "Mo'er, are you finished? I'll give you one more minute. You'd better open the door, otherwise I'll come in myself. If I see that you're naked, then I'll want to have you."
There was no reply. It was so quiet that Gu Mohan felt a sense of panic as he became anxious.
Stepping back, he lifted his leg and kicked the door open with an urgent force. Bam! There was a crack and the door shifted, but didn't budge, only giving way slightly as a crack formed in the wood.
He raised his leg once again and kicked the bathroom door down. It swung precariously off its hinges and fell to the tiled floor. 
Stepping over the remains of the door, he walked in.
There was a dress and nipple stickers left carelessly on the basin. It was the first time Gu Mohan had seen nipple stickers, they were nude and fleshy in colour. Such a sight caused his throat to tighten and tense up. Turning his head, his sharp eyes caught sight of a woman's figure in the bathtub.
His pupils contracted in the next second. 
The large bathtub was filled with white foam and flower petals. Tang Mo'er was sitting inside, her luscious black hair scattered messily around her shoulders with a number of wet strands stuck to her back. It was a picturesque scene, seeing her black hair tangled against her smooth, creamy skin. The woman had her head hung low, as she held her knees together and her entire body trembled. She was crying.
She cried in vehement silence, her shoulders shaking as she held back the sobs that racked her body. Determined to remain quiet, she cried till she was out of breath.
Seeing her state, a wave of panic washed over Gu Mohan and he felt a pain grip his heart. He frowned and walked over to her. Kneeling down next to the bathtub, his fingers grasped her small jaws and he said in a serious tone, "How long have you been crying? Don't cry anymore. If you continue, you're going to lose all of your energy." 
With his fingers against her face, Tang Mo'er was forced to look at him, her pale face was full of tears and her mouth was open. She choked on her tears.
Seeing that he was hollering at her, she cried even harder, a fresh wave of sobs coming out in raspy gasps of air.
Not wanting to see her in such a state, Gu Mohan held the back of her head and kissed her puffy red lips forcefully. 
Feeling triggered by the action, Tang Mo'er shoved him away and kicked him forcefully. "Let go of me. Don't kiss me. Don't touch me!"
Gu Mohan refused to. Pushing past her lips,he stretched out his tongue and buried it into her mouth, tasting the salty bitterness from the tears streaming down her face. 
"Ugh!" Tang Mo'er bit his lips forcefully.
The faint metallic taste of blood filled their mouths and Gu Mohan released her. However, his soft lips still pressed against hers as murmured hoarsely, "Are you secretly crying in the bathroom because you're afraid I had sex with Lu Qi'er?" 


After facing her fiancé's betrayal, things take an unexpected turn after Tang Mo’er inadvertently gets involved with the Capital’s preeminent magnate, Gu Mohan.

Fast-forwarding, Tang Mo’er clenches on a pregnancy test kit with two red lines—testing positive—and confronts him. “Young Master Gu, why did you make me pregnant?”

Gu Mohan hands a baby over into her arms. “My dearest wife, be good. That’s our second child.”

And so Tang Mo’er can only hustle and take care of her two children, but unbeknownst to her, Young Master Gu has also been coveting her love and affection…

This is a face-smacking, sweet-love novel set in the entertainment industry.


Tuesday, 27th September 1442
Both Heather and I had spent a solid three hours in the realm last night and Heather had managed to prepare the stickers for all of the products, including the blushers, eyeshadow, eyeliner, lipstick and makeup basic foundation powder as well.

Instead of 15 images per sheet of sticker paper, Heather had managed to squeeze 18 images. The image was a tad smaller but this does not stop Heather from producing rather eye-catching labels that were filled with vivid and live colours too.

The images were simple and all this could be searched through thousand of selection just through a simple keyword search and all Heather need to do was to get a single image and then add another text heading or maybe an image of fruit to indicate its scent or flavour.

Once she had done a series of 18 images on a single sticker paper, she showed it to me once she had printed a sample copy. Once I told her that it's fine, she hit a 50 printouts for all the types and varieties of all known scents and flavours she could think of based on the notes she had recorded in my journal.

For every sticker page that she had done on the project, she saved it so she would be able to bring it up again to continue printing them once the stickers ran out.

She then collected all the printouts that she had made from the printer and places it next to her as she waited for me to wake up from my nap in my seat. When I heard the notification for some of the porcelain wares, I was a bit startled from my nap and I looked up and saw Heather staring right at me.

"Are you done, darling? If you are, then we should be returning back. Leave the porcelain ware where it should be at this moment. I would be heading back here in 2 days time. Huuaarrgghh... My mind seems to be a little bit heavy right now. Come on dear, let's hold hands and return back to the real world."

That's the last thing I knew and I woke up sprawled on the floor of the study while Heather was preparing breakfast at the settee area with the twins sitting down at the area. I slowly rose up and was feeling stiff after falling asleep on the cold hard ground.

"Hey dear, I thought you would wake up somewhere in the afternoon. You are feeling alright now? You were babbling in your sleep so I dare not awake you but placed some pillow and a blanket instead. Come, join us for breakfast after you wash up."

Heather greeted me as I kissed my twins good morning and gave a kiss to Heather as well and a pinch to her ample buttocks. Heh, could never get too frisky enough in the mornings, don't you think so?

I had never felt so mentally tired before...! I yawned as I washed myself up, I yawned some more at the settee area and I yawned again when Heather had sorted all the stickers according to their categories. 

Damn... I was literally yawning myself in front of everyone and there's a presentation before 7 in the evening at the Macleod Coliseum later on. 

I checked the time and found that it was already after 7 in the morning and another 12 hours later I would be addressing the whole community of the achievements that the adventurers had performed towards the betterment of this town. 

"Just hope that there won't be any interference later today, dear. Could I rest some more after this and wake up again before lunchtime? My mental is soooo tired that it seemed to sap the energy off my body as well. Phew...! Going to the realm sure is tiring."

I lamented to Heather since I was doing double efforts since I was piggybacking Heather with me, everyone, we enter the realm. 

If I enter alone, it would be considered as a single trip, then piggybacking someone would be considered as two trips instead of one. So the other night we had entered the realm exactly 6 times...! 

"It's alright dear, you can have your rest after this. Last night I had given Michelle and Gwen the medals to be given to the Adventurers so they would be preparing the podium now as we speak."

"Take as much rest as possible and you enter the realm alone if possible, tomorrow, to clear all the crates of porcelain ware in the realm, would that be alright?"

" I will enter the realm with you if I find that there's a need. Other than that you can do the prints yourself, right?"

Heather knew that piggybacking her into my realm the other night was rather a taxing as I could feel some sort of strain or pressure every time.

 Right now the porcelain wares are ready, the stickers are ready and all it needs to do was to let Molly and her team paste the sticker labels and store them in the necessary open crates in the holding area.

 Once the products are ready to be produced, the crates would be taken out and be placed in the respective factories and production lines. 

In this way, Molly and her team of workers could be redeployed elsewhere to gain more experience. 

Once they had gained the necessary experience, Molly and her team would be line leaders while Molly would be around to supervise and at the same time assist Alicia to make those fine wares for distillation et cetera.

I walked over and kissed my twins and told them to be good since Daddy was feeling under the weather today and wanted to have some rest to recover back some rest today.

The twins looked rather worried and Heather asked what I would like to have for lunch and dinner and I replied that it had been some time since I've tasted the sweet and sour deep-fried pork chops with cucumber, tomatoes, pineapples with shallots and garlic as garnishing.

"Alright dear, I will make the one-dish meal today consisting of deep-fried breaded pork chops made into sweet and sour today, all right? I will get the domain helpers to mind the children and head to the grocery store to get the things we need. Rest well, my dear. Hope you would be able to recover after your second round of sleep."

Heather pushed me away from the settee and towards the bedroom where the domain helpers had already cleared away the pillows and sheets from the study room back to the bedroom.

The domain helpers can't help noticing the stack of sticker labels and from a single glance, they knew that somehow we had spent the night burning the midnight oil. I was seriously knocked out before dinner time and had slept through the whole night till the following day.

"Alright dear, I would be off to meditate and practise my breathing exercises to regain my strength for the mind. Love you, dear... Muah Muah Muah...!!"

I literally crawled to the bedroom and plopped down on the soft mattress and was soon snoring once again as my mind drifted off to a dreamless state. We would not want me to enter my meditative state by mistake and enter the realm, would we?

Heather had the twins minded by the domain helpers as she went to the grocery market to purchase some pork chops and some breading mix with all the necessary ingredients to make the sweet and sour gravy.

She also bought a few lemons that would be squeezed to give the extra sourness to the gravy. Red, green and yellow bell peppers were added to it to add colour and flavour to the rest of the vegetables. 

Soon, with the groceries, she went to the outdoor kitchen area to prepare the pork chops while the kitchen helpers helped to chop up all the vegetables after washing them. The chops, after being washed, breaded and deep-fried were set aside before she made the heavy gravy ready.

The heavy gravy was ready in 15 minutes and then it was poured over the deep-fried breaded pork chops and served on a fairly large serving platter.

The children were hungry since they had not given any kinds of morning snack so Heather decided to push the timing for lunch earlier than usual. She went over to the bedroom and found me still sprawled on the bed like a beached starfish.

"Hey dear, you feel much better now? Hope you had your power nap while I was busy preparing lunch. It is already half past 10 and close to eleven."

"Lunch is ready and served, do you want to eat together since our children are all waiting to have lunch together today."

I fluttered my eyelids open slightly and groaned because of the weariness I felt that coursed through my brain that controls all my motor skills. 

"Help me up dear, and get me out of these clothes. I'm going to conjure up my Psi Energy orbs and put them inside the vat in the bathroom. My goodness me, I had never felt so exhausted before in my whole life. The strain on my mind really knocks me out...! "

I requested as Heather helped to pull my clothes up as I staggered to the bathroom in my knickers. I hovered near the vat that had been imbued with heating pebbles by Priestess Farah to keep the water at a constant temperature as I rubbed my hands and closed my eyes. 

I could feel myself swaying and I knew that even conjuring the Psi Energy orbs also could spell trouble for myself.

Nevertheless, I forced myself to conjure up a set of 4 Psi Energy orbs and dropped them into the water. It was bright bluish in colour and when it hits the water, it disintegrated and seemed to slightly sizzle. 

There was a small stool inside the bathroom where I sat and I began to scoop the water from the vat. The moment the water hit my head and face, it throbbed and I could almost feel the heat that was coming off from the top of my head. The water hit the rest of my body and I quickly scooped the water and splash it all over to thoroughly wet it. 

I took a little bit of hair shampoo and lather it on my hair as I took my body soap and slowly lather it around my body as well. The moment the water had hit my body earlier, I could felt tingling sensations all over the body and its a bit prickly at the same time, yet soothing and felt like many tiny hands were massaging my body. 

My body felt slightly rejuvenated as I remembered how Ceres had mentioned to me to drop these Psi energy orbs into the distillers so that the healing and rejuvenating feeling could be shared with everyone who purchases our product. 

I also remembered the wild young man who was screaming and singing in the shower while my former self was sitting at the porch of the house. The young man told my former self how he felt when he used the body soap that was imbued with Psi energy during the shower even...! 

I thought to myself and concluded that the only products that would be used to imbue these Psi energy orbs would be the Hair shampoo, body soap and the facial and body scrub. It would be great to share this wonderful little nifty miracles to the rest of the consumers, don't you think so? 

I added more hair shampoo because we all had long hair and it would be nice to have it covered with this fine bubbles. Before this, we seldom wash our hair because we have to use lye and hot water to wash the sebum off the hair. 

The ritual of hair washing was like a huge process just to get it wet and clean...! 

Now with these fine hair shampoos, we could wash our hair nearly every day except when it's wintertime...! 

"Wooooo....! I feel much better already. Goodness me, luckily I remembered how to use the Psi Energy orbs or else I would feel dreadful for the entire whole day...!" I called out from the bathroom and Heather peeked inside after she opened the bathroom door slightly. 

"That's good to hear, darling. You do have some colour on your face. Besides, don't you feel cold to wet your whole hair like this in mid-autumn?" 

"Not really dear, in fact, if not for Farah I think we only shower during summertime. Hahaha. Let me rinse my hair off and then towel it down and we can have our lunch together." 

I replied but Heather held the scoop in her hand and she was the one who poured water over my body to wash off the bubbles and on my hair to wash away the suds as well. 

It didn't take long for me to complete my shower even though it is like a buffalo taking a dip in the river without much scrubbing at all...! 

Heather got me a towel and after I had done, I removed my knickers and wrapped the towel around my waist as I tiptoed to the bathroom where a set of fresh clothes were ready including my armour that was placed at the corner of the bed as well. 

"Hmm, shall I wear my armour today? But wait, there's an award ceremony later on and I think I would be best wearing this normal clothes first before we change to our best clothes to do the presentation of the medals to the adventurers." I thought to myself as I was about to reach for my set of armour. 

So instead, I towelled down myself properly so my wet hair would not be dripping water everywhere as I changed onto my day clothes, wore a few of the accessories on me and then went down to the dining area of the conference hall where our twins were waiting for me. 

The moment they saw me walking down the stairwell, they squealed in delight and waved at me to come over and gave them a big hug since they had held their arms out to me. 

I laughed as I hugged my children and kissed them on the foreheads and cheek as they all squirmed about in their highchairs since they could feel how cold my hands were.

I saw the sweet and sour gravy that had several huge pieces of deep-fried breaded pork chops and I can't help smack my lips together. "My dear children, you must be hungry, yes? Come, let's eat now. Mummy would feed Daddy while I will feed the both of you right?"

The children clapped their hands eagerly as I took a plate, scooped some rice, placed a whole piece of deep-fried breaded pork chop on it and then scooped some of the diced carrots, cucumber, pineapple, red, green and yellow ball peppers and I slowly tore off bits of the pork chop and handed the children to hold and eat themselves.

Of course, I made sure the bits of pork chop would be easily bitten and chewed by the children as I saw them nibbled on the pieces of meat while they hold them in a pincer kind of manner. 

Heather does not have the knack of feeding an adult like me with her fingers so she used a spoon instead to scoop the rice with some of the vegetables and tore off some meat before she stuffed them into my mouth. She may end up with bitten fingers if she used her fingers to feed me instead. 

My appetite was piqued when I was spoon-fed by Heather and the children watched me as I was having too much food in my mouth that I almost looked like a hamster...! 

The children laughed as they patted my face with their dainty hands as they too followed the way I 'stored' my food inside the mouth. The lunch today was good and I had more than enough rice and dishes today. 

The children too had their fill and had washed down their lunch with some warm banana flavoured milk before they nodded off in sleepiness. The domain helpers helped to bring the children to their beds after their faces and hands were cleaned up. 

"You feel much better now, dear? You can only enter the realm tomorrow evening okay? You really need your rest and recover as soon as possible." 

Heather pressed her hands into me as she leaned across my chest as she was quite worried but she doesn't really verbally say it. 

Through her actions only was she able to show how she really felt. I looked across the mantlepiece where our crowns were and saw that all the stickers that she had done were stacked and segregated nicely so each stack would be seen as a single product and not jumbled up as a single stack. 

I smiled as I praised her for being so systematic in her work as the domain helpers also can't help but admire the printouts and touch the lifelike vivid images that had been printed on the sticker papers.

During the period of 1337-1453, a terrible war broke in Medieval England and that period was called (Hundred Year's War) and a huge turmoil ensued between the England and France with the involvement of rebels as well as opportunists. 

Prince Audemars Macleod, a descendent of King Richard Macleod of Darlington had barely managed to escape with his life when the Manor he was living in was besieged by rebels in 1440, when he was just barely 18 years old.

Let us travel through time and relive the experiences of this young Prince as he was forced to 'banished' and survive with some followers they entrusted their lives with him.

Little did he realise that he was actually living in the past of his future and had no recollection of anything except when he was narrated by a Seer that had been inducted as a permanent resident of the town he founded later.

*This is a fictional world. Most plants, vegetables, fruits and certain animals didn't exist in England that time.

*Almost all novels start off with a system. This does not reveal any hint of a system until you get to almost halfway through the novel. 

* Mobsters are included in the later chapters of this novel too. 

*This is a slow grind so bear with it as the storyline develops. Thank you and happy reading...

The hands that hugs the waist, is slowly stroking the back the side of Pam.  She knew this is coming regardless of the situation.  In all honesty she missed him a lot.  She tried so hard to keep herself busy for the past 6 months. The thought of waiting caused her to tear up few days ago, now that they are together, she can only give in to Tim and accept the mutual physical longing

Tim lifted her tank top exposing her upper body.  Pam did not resist, she looked away to lessen the embarrassment.  

"I like what I see."  Tim looked at her face fascinated with the faint section created in her abdomen.  She is probably working on her abs.  She looked toned no longer skinny. 

Pam gave out a smile but covered her face, she felt proud and happy with what Tim said but at the same time still feeling embarrassed of her exposure.  Her boobs were never big like Lissy's but it stand proud despite its cute size.  

Tim cannot help but admire what she has done to her body.  What other way to enjoy but to give those abs little kisses?  This got Pam to curl inwards as she became ticklish with the subtle kisses.  It then escalated to the twins.  Tim sucked hard on both igniting goosebumps all over Pam's body.  Pam helplessly encircled her arms around his neck to support her weakening upper body due to the burning sensation. 

Pam thought that the long-haul flight will slow down Tim however he was like a beast that has never hunted for years.  The first assault was too sudden and rough.  He forcefully got in with one push.  Tim would normally tease he, let her adjust to his size and rhythm before going all out.  Pam gasp for breath, it hurts almost just like the first time, but it got better in succeeding assault.  In the end she was the prey that got slaughtered till the last drop.   

Pam never expected to wake up with feverish feeling down south.  She was too tired last night.  Even the daily exercises she had did not help regain her strength in every round they had.  It only allowed her to stay 'alive' as Tim bullied her all night.  Her body clock tells her that it still early in the morning.   Half awake, she tried to open her eyes to check on the time from the wall clock in front of the bed.   Before she could even confirm the time, she let out a loud moan.  She realized that her legs are raised and spread wide open, the raging bull appears to be cleaning up in between.

"Tim~" 

She was too weak to resist and say another word and just let out a long moan. 

Tim responded with, 'hmmm' acknowledging her call out.  It created a vibration to that sensitive part causing Pam to moan more.  Such reaction from Pam got Tim's mouth and tongue working double time.  Early in the morning, she is literally dripping.  Her sanity is about to escape her, trembling as she reached orgasm.  Tim knew it was coming and so he ascended.  

This action caused Pam to use his last ounce of breath to tell him, "no more please…" tapping his waist. 

The bull who is in position let out an evil smile but retreated.  Tim hugged Pam spooning her.  She was almost lifeless from releasing fluid in her body.  He was still teasing her butt with his thing but Pam pleaded.  

"Tim, you are not leaving tomorrow right?"

"Hmmm...why?"  he was sniffing her neck as he answered.

"We have time to do this again, I am drained."

Tim chuckled and continued with the tease, stroking her body sensually.  In a few minutes, Pam has drifted back to sleep.  It was indeed early, at 6am she woke up from the endless nibbling in the area in between her thighs.  Tim hugged her and for few more minutes stared at her face peacefully sleeping.   He then stood up to go to the bathroom and relieve the heat that is still prevalent in his body. 

While Pam is asleep, Tim roamed around the unit, checking each area.  He took note of the place where she would normally take or do video call with him.  The mini calendar at living room got his attention.  There were stickers on some dates.  He assumed that it represents her emotion for the day.  He looked back from the months since the first sticker has been pasted.  It was a crying emoji.  There were also stickers with sweat, heart and surprise.  Noticeably few days before he arrived in Sydney there were stickers depicting, she cried.  It was a good thing that he decided to cut the US trip to spend time with her. 

It was almost lunch time and he only had coffee in the morning, he started to feel hungry.  He saw bacon and eggs on the fridge.  There was also garlic, olive oil and pasta.  He started preparing to cook for traditional carbonara.   

The table is set with the simple pasta.  Tim checked on Pam.  She was still sleeping soundly, he suddenly felt sorry for her.  He was indeed too demanding of her to satisfy his needs.  He sat on one side of the bed and stoked her hair calling her soft, "Pam… Pam."

Pam responded only after several attempts from Tim to wake her up.  But what got her to open her eyes is when his hot breath fell on her ears and said, "wake up My Queen, otherwise we can do it again."

"Tim…stop joking.  I am drained."

"I am not joking!"  Pam is still naked under the quilt.  Tim was stroking her thigh.  

Pam tried to sit not even minding the quilt falling on her lap exposing her upper body full of love bites.  She is still on daze and confused state. What surprised Tim is when she hugged him. 

"Let me rest." She said pleading once more.

"I will let you rest, freshen up for now and let's have our lunch."

At the mentioned of lunch, Pam reacted 180 degrees.  She retracted from hugging Tim.  Stood up not minding her nakedness and proceed to the bathroom.  No matter how tired she is Tim has missed proper dinner and breakfast, she needs to get something prepared for lunch.

Tim just observed her movements, seeing her walk uninhibited got him smiling.  This is how he wants her to be uninhibited even if he is around.  Looking at her body, it is to die for.

Pam had to run away before its too late.  She has always dreamed of becoming successful in IT career.  Love came unexpectedly from an unexpected man.  She was willing to take the journey towards success with him.  She was ready to dive in a romantic relationship.  Suddenly he is part of her dream, her life, all her first was with him.  It was beautiful until she was apparently just an ego game. 

Tim…he still exudes the confidence.  He still got the appeal physically and mentally.  Everyone thinks he has everything!  After Pim left him, he felt abandoned, he felt empty. Thanks to Lissy he felt complete, ‘she is the one’.   Lissy is all that I need.   

What is the truth behind Tim?  He used to be Pim’s. His girl was once called Pim.  Asking both themselves in silence…why do we have to cross path once more when each has moved on. 

“What are you doing?” has been an interesting line for Tim. Read on to find out. There are some mature content.

"What the f**k?!" Su Jiayi cried out when the cat attacked her face. The cat snarled and scratched her face. 
Jing Lihua turned back, surprised. It happened too fast. She couldn't keep up with all that.
All she saw was Su Jiayi and the white cat engaged in a fiery fight. She stood frozen for a moment, the next moment she broke into laughter. Grabbing her belly, she tried hard to stop herself but she couldn't.
"What the f**k are you laughing for, bitch!" Su Jiayi cried out. "Are you going to help me or not?!" She had just gotten the cat off her face and pushed her down on the floor. But the cat didn't give her a minute to breathe and the next second, it lurched at her again. Jumping right from the ground to her face. Screams of Su Jiayi and snarls of the cat were mixed together.
They were a melody to Jing Lihua's ears.
She couldn't stop laughing to think of doing anything to stop them.
Catching sight of Jing Lihua laughing her ass out, Su Jiayi was maddened. But she couldn't keep that cat off her face on her own.
Having no choice, she resorted to running away. Jing Lihua has hardly gotten a little control over her laughter. But when she saw Su Jiayi running away like that from a little kitten, she once again broke into laughter.
"Oh, God!" Jing Lihua wiped the tears from her eyes. At her feet, she saw the white cat snarling in the direction Su Jiayi was running. She chuckled and picked up the cat in her arms. Once the cat-faced Jing Lihua, it meowed very cutely. "Now that's my girl." Jing Lihua patted her and laughed again. "You deserve a treat for what you did today."
With a very happy expression, securing the white cat in her arms, Jing Lihua walked for Li Zhiqiang's apartment. 
...
Su Jiayi bust into the bathroom. Her face was covered with scratches. Some of them were even bleeding. "I won't ever forgive her for this." She hadn't ever been insulted like this in her entire life.
Su Jiayi had always taken care of her face. She wouldn't ever have let as much as a pimple tarnish it. But now that, in the bathroom when she saw the sorry state in which her face was, she felt like killing someone. She splashed water onto her face. She didn't care how cold the water was. Tears were brimming in her eyes. She looked up and stared into her reflection. "Jing Lihua, you are going to regret this!" Her voice was immersed with deep resentment. Tears rolled down her bloodshot eyes.
She quickly dialed a number. Her breathing was shallow and faster from all the hate and anger. "I want you to do it, right now! I am not going to wait anymore! I want to see her destroyed!" She screamed over the line.
The person on the other side apparently agreed. Because, the next second, a smile appeared on Su Jiayi's lips. "Jing Lihua." She said that name. Her eyes flashed with something. "If I don't have you regretting ever crossing me then I'm not Su Jiayi."
...
Li Zhiqiang had been waiting when Jing Lihua appeared at his apartment. "Huh? How long had you been waiting? Did you say you were in an important meeting?"
"And I also said nothing is more important than you." Li Zhiqiang sounded grumpy.
"You didn't just call off the meeting because of me, did you?" Jing Lihua had given up on being surprised at his antics.
"What do you think?" li Zhiqiang shrugged.
Jing Lihua sighed, "You did." She would have berated him or objected at the least. But she knew it was no us. This man, he was crazy. There was no saving him.
She could only sigh for all those in her heart who had been preparing the proposals for the meeting for God knows how long.
"Let's forget about it. Where is my kiss?" Li Ziqiang grinned and walked to her.
"What 'kiss'?" Jing Lihua stepped back.
"A kiss we had decided to give each other whenever we met after a long time." Li Zhiqiang continued to corner her.
"I decal recall deciding anything like this with you."
"Doesn't matter. Let's start it from right now." Li Zhiqiang was inches away from her when the white cat snarled suddenly. He stopped.
Jing Lihua was surprised. She rose te cat in her arms. "You know what I am loving you more and more." She laughed at Li Zhiqiang. "Be like this. Whenever this man tries to assault me, shoo him away and protect me." Jing Lihua cuddled with the cat. The cat mewed in satisfaction.
Li Zhiqiang felt a faint ache in his heart. "I was the one brought her to you." He complained.
"For that, I am very grateful to you." Jing Lihua laughed at his childish behavior.
"This is not right. I should be the one in your arms right now and not that cat!" Li Zhiqiang glared at the cat. To his surprise, the cat returned his glare with a snarl. Li Zhiqiang was speechless. After a second, he glared at the cat harder. This time, the cat resorted to a different tactic. Instead of snarling back, she shrank in Jing Lihua arms assuming a pitiful look and mewed quietly as if she was being bullied.
"Don't scare her!" Jing Lihua secured the cat in her arms protectively. She stared at Li Zhiqiang with incredulity in her eyes. "She is just a little kitten. Why would you look at her like that? What did she ever do to you!?" Jing Lihua felt truly bad for her kitten. Especially after the cat had stood up for her against Su Jiayi, Jing Lihua felt closer to her.
Li Zhiqiang: "..." He felt helpless. How was he supposed to tell her that the shrewd cat was only using her cuteness to win her pity against him? 
At his silence, the cat mewed at him smugly. That little bit*h!
"You are such a kid." Jing Lihua shook her head after seeing his expressions. She couldn't believe the man in front of her was that rumored formidable President Li. She sighed, leaned in and kissed his cheek. 


...Sneak Peek into a chapter...

"Don't play with fire, President Jing." His eyes darkened; the temperature in the room dropped drastically.

It was a warning.

However, Jing Lihua cherry red lips merely curled up into a smile.

"What if I want to play with fire, President Li?"

"Woman, do you not see your position? You are pinned down by me. Yet you still dare to act so frivolously? If you do not have any intention to finish things, you better not start them!" Li Zhiqiang's eyes were cold as frozen ice. "Otherwise, I will make you regret."

"President Li." Jing Lihua's sweet voice again assaulted his ears. "What if I want you to make me regret?"

The second those words left her lips, she was kissed furiously.

...End of Sneak Peek...

Flesh made of translucent ice, bones made of precious gems...

Jing Lihua, the eldest miss of the aristocratic Jing family, was a classic beauty with a tragic end.

Stabbed in the back by those closest to her, betrayed by those she put her utmost trust, forsaken by those for whom she sacrificed herself; years of harshness taught her a lot.

So when events take a turn and she is allowed to reincarnate seven years back on her marriage night, when everything was still in her hands, when everything had just started to take turns, she is determined to change the course of things...

She is determined to protect those who were true to her and at the same time... ruin those who had the demons in their hearts.

However, things take an interesting turn when she discovers new secrets left uncovered in her previous life.

A formidable man named 'President Li', the young master of the prestigious 'Li' family known as the great 'Devil' in the mortal world appears in her life and sends her plans into chaos...

Author Note: The First 20 chapters are rewritten by me. So they are good to go. After that for the next fort chapter, quality drops a bit. Then it gradually returns to best. Bear with it for a while. I'm in the process of editing.

On the extreme left was Mix battleteam. On the right, Tall Boots, Bug, Stickers, Nx, Skitters and more names of battleteams were listed in order. The stats analyzer said, "I recommend, we go from weak to strong. The later the training tournament, the less the local top battleteams have a grasp of our internal tactics and capabilities. Though we are stronger and have no fear of them, but using such a structure would be advantageous for the national qualifiers." 
"I'm afraid we can't." Mo Huaifeng shook his head lightly. "It's the same for all of us. If we play the strong teams later, and they catch us by surprise, it would be extremely disadvantageous for us, whether for our mindset towards the competition or the countering of tactics. 
The stats analyzer thought for a moment. "That makes sense too. How about we do a give and take. Above average, below average, strong, average, going according to such a sequence, whether is it mindset or tactics, it should be more comprehensive." 
Mo Huaifeng nodded and said, "Skitters, Stickers, Wan Ning, Bug, Tall Boots, Nx, Bao Lu."
As he listed, the stats analyzer noted it down on the white board with a marker, adding, "There's still another eSports battleteam under Le Tian Club, W.J, formed last year, we can leave them to the end." 
Mo Huaifeng had no objections.
Only Ji Zhiyao was slightly stunned from hearing that.
W.J, this battleteam, the name sounded very familiar.
W.J…
!
Wasn't that his opponent in the friendly match that he placed at Silver Throne Shopping Center before he became a professional player?
What a small world.
Truly fascinating. 
Ji Zhiyao was a little dazed, Mo Huaifeng caught his dazed look with a dart of his peripherals and asked, "What are you daydreaming about?" 
Everyone looked towards Ji Zhiyao. Ji Zhiyao answered honestly, "This time last year, before I became a professional player, I played a friendly match against W.J."
Mo Huaifeng upon hearing the time frame, was reminded that he had asked Ji Zhiyao to play a match for him at the shopping center last year…
What a coincidence.
"Is that so?" The stats analyzer was full of interest. "I have only heard of this battleteam but still don't have a concrete understanding of their competence. NoHomo, what do you think?"
Ji Zhiyao spoke frankly, "Especially lousy. Back then I played a round of solo against their jungler, he could not beat me." 
Mo Huaifeng was quiet for a moment before he said, "Couldn't even beat you before you were trained, rather lousy indeed." 
Catching the contempt in his voice, Ji Zhiyao rolled his eyes and suggested. "But using them to boost the team's confidence before the national qualifiers would still be good." 
"Why are the both of you so complacent? Beware that they've already taken flight after training for a year." The stats analyzer chuckled. "Then let's still add them to the list. Anymore questions? If not, I am going to organize the list and let Yuan Wei go invite the teams."
Everyone gestured that they had no objections. 
Hence the stats analyzer took a photo of the white board and said, "I'll organize it back at my office later, Yuan Wei, I'll send it to you tonight."
"Got it. I'll start inviting them one by one tonight." 
The stats analyzer picked up the marker and started to write sequence numbers in front of the battleteams. 
Ji Zhiyao looked towards the white board and realized that this sequence was the rankings from the previous national qualifiers.
Mix Battleteam, first.
Tall Boots Battleteam, second.
Bug Battleteam, third.
Followed by Skitters, Stickers, Nx, W.J had not been formed then, thus they were placed at the end.
The stats analyzer explained, "At every national qualifiers, locally, there will be 20 battleteams qualified to participate. The competing system is relatively simple, first these 20 battleteams will be divided into A and B groups, there will be a scrimmage within the group, the five victorious battleteams from each group qualify to move on. The remaining ten battleteam teams will then draw lots and go through a points segment, after four rounds of competition, the top two teams with the highest number of accumulated points will compete against each other, the winner takes the number one spot and qualifies for the international league." 
"The competing system is generally so. As for the points segment, each round between battleteams is made up of a 1v1 match, a 3v3 match and three matches of 5v5. The 1v1 gives two points, 3v3 three points and 5v5, five points. Hence, the respective small points and the overall total are both important, but even more important than that would be teamwork." 
"Anything else you are unclear of?" 
Ji Zhiyao committed everything to memory and shook his head with the others,
Seeing that the stats analyzer had finished speaking, Yuan Wei nagged on as usual like a mother. "There are more things to take note of, Captain will advise all of you when the time comes. But all of you must take note, be sure not to cause trouble, before the national qualifiers end, you all must be well-behaved, keep your tails between your legs. Just in case any accidents happen and you are banned from competing. Things can still be arranged for the mid-laner and jungler positions, for the rest, the consequences will be unimaginable. Once the participating name list is submitted, it cannot be changed at the last minute. It's not so bad if one person cannot compete, if you implicate because there are not enough numbers and the team cannot compete, just wait for Captain to kick you out." 
With that, Yuan Wei stared eagerly at Mo Huaifeng. Ji Zhiyao followed suit and found that Mo Huaifeng very kindly made a "hmph" sound through his nose. 
This guy better f*cking not be a fool.
The stats analyzer cleaned off the words on the white board. "It will essentially be these teams that we will invite for the training tournaments, there won't be any change. Except for Skitters and W.J, we have played against the rest previously. All of you think back properly on their distinguishing features. In a while I will go send the organized materials on the battleteam to all of you, study up by yourselves, do watch the videos of last year's national qualifiers too."
Everyone nodded without a word.
Everything that was to be instructed was finally done so, the stats analyzer moved the white board to a side, Yuan Wei also walked out of the training and sat on the sofa outside. Mo Huaifeng shifted his chair, "Let's start training."
Everyone shifted their chairs back to their seats in succession. 
Ji Zhiyao had just settled in when Mo Huaifeng knocked lightly on the surface of the desk with his knuckles. "NoHomo, come out for a while."
Ji Zhiyao looked confusedly towards Mo Huaifeng and realized that he had already stood up, all he could catch was a back view. Hence he then looked confusedly at the rest, the others all had an expression of not knowing what was going on. He sucked in the corner of his lips and willingly followed outside. 
Mo Huaifeng was standing under a tree in the yard, upon seeing him, some hints of a smile could not help but appeared on his face. Ji Zhiyao smiled too. "Captain, why did you call me out here?" 
The trace of a smile in Mo Huaifeng's eyes became deeper. "Heart to heart talk."
Ji Zhiyao dropped onto the long bench at the side, asking lazily, "Because we are starting to play training tournaments, you wanted to remind me to properly adjust my frame of mind? Don't worry, my mentality is great." 
"No."
Ji Zhiyao looked questioningly at him. "Then why?" He thought for a moment and came up with the most possible answer. "Could it be about who will go on between me and Brother Xiao?"
"Mm."
Ji Zhiyao surveyed the surroundings, after finding that there was no one, he patted the empty spot beside him and indicated for Mo Huaifeng to sit with him.
Mo Huaifeng sat down and freely leaned his shoulders against Ji Zhiyao's, saying, "Xiao went to the hospital for a checkup, his wrist has completely recovered. The stats analyzer has also done a comprehensive analysis for him, currently he cannot match up to his peak period, but there also isn't much of a difference. If nothing goes wrong, for the national qualifiers, Xiao as the starter, will be the main player. But there are also chances for both of you to take turns going on, you must adjust your mindset accordingly. 
Each starting player has always been the battleteam's first choice, because they are better in terms of chemistry with their teammates and also their ability. Take Xiaofei as an example, though he was Mix's mid-laner reserve, he rarely had any chance to go on officially, during usual trainings, he also rarely worked with starting members.
Since Ji Zhiyao came to Mix battleteam, he essentially trained as the sixth starting member. Battleteam activities, training tournaments, practice with ranked matches, there would always be a fixed place for him. All of a sudden, Ji Zhiyao was expected to return to being a reserve. Mo Huaifeng was worried that he wouldn't be able to turn his frame of mind around well. 
Ji Zhiyao went speechless in a second, when he looked up again, his eyes were bright as he said, "I am indeed a little sad." 
Mo Huaifeng pursed his lips.
Ji Zhiyao continued, "But Brother Xiao's hand injury recovering, is a rather happy thing. I finally don't have to worry about being blamed when we lose competitions in the future."
Mo Huaifeng froze and his lips promptly curved up. 
He had forgotten, Ji Zhiyao might be mischievous, but he had never been disappointing.
"Don't worry. I'm still young, there are still many years to come." 
"Mm."
Ji Zhiyao turned his body and looked at him. "What about the training tournaments? Am I to take turns with Brother Xiao?"
Mo Huaifeng nodded. "Yes. Heng, Xiaofei, Xiao and you are to practice rotating your turns. Because we don't know if Xiao's hand injury will relapse, your training mission won't be easy."
Ji Zhiyao exhaled deeply, seeming like he was completely relieved. "That's great, I thought that I was going to be idle this summer vacation." 
"No chance."
He reached out his hand and grabbed Ji Zhiyao's one.
Ji Zhiyao held his hand too and let go after a while, his tone relaxed as he said, "Let's go Captain, back to training!"
…
Training in preparation for the national qualifiers was much tougher than before.
The most obvious change was, to ensure there was time to train, the dinner parties for everyone in Mix had gone from three to four times a week to once every two weeks.
That afternoon, Mix battleteam welcomed their very first training tournament, against Skitters.
Skitters Battleteam had already existed since the Chinese eSports scene just started, it was considered one of the earliest battleteams in the scene. Their former batch of members retired after participating in the national qualifiers three years ago, the current batch of members was a new generation of players selected by the club, all were very young. 
These three years, they took part in various big and small competitions and also left behind some video materials. After the stats analyzer observed and analyzed their gameplay, he came up with a distinguishing feature of Skitters.
Stable.
Way too stable.
They were completely unlike eSports newbies who were filled with eagerness, instead they were more like wily old foxes that had been around for several years. No matter what battleteam they were up against, they would always adopt the practice of making progress through ensuring stability, attacking with the way of defense and rarely initiating an attack. 
After a discussion, it would be Xiaofei and Xiao going on for this tournament. 
Ji Zhiyao moved a little stool and sat behind Xiao with his notebook, preparing to take notes while watching the matches. Heng sat behind Xiaofei. 
After selecting their champions, the match began right away.
Xiao could not control his itch once the match began and called Xiaofei along, both of them charging towards the opponent's blue daddy.
Skitter's jungler had probably saw them in the mini map and sent a signal telling his teammates to wait there. The levels and abilities of both teams were very low, after fighting head-on for a while, Xiaofei and Xiao decisively retreated.
K: "Develop wretchedly, don't wander daddies." 
Xiao: "Chill chill. It's because I haven't played training tournaments in a long time, I'm just feeling slightly excited."
Xiao returned to their jungle and began farming creeps.
Because Skitters was really too boring, only quietly killing waves of minions in their turrets, only their turret defense was top class. Even Mo Huaifeng who all along not keen of creating trouble was a little annoyed and said, "Get some tank equipment, dive the turrets for kills. Xiao take note of the opposite jungler." 
Xiao grinned. "Roger."
Telling him to take note of the opposite jungler, wasn't it telling him to get ready to counter jungler anytime?
Even if they don't like fighting, they would have to when the opportunity was created!
Xiao changed his equipment and stealthily made his way to the opponent's jungle. When Skitter's jungler moved closer, being completely unaware, Xiao who had been hiding for long rushed out and thrashed him. 
At the same time, Mo Huaifeng who already lost his patience at the bottom lane put on his equipment and directly finished off the opponent's top laner.
Two kills broke the 15 minute long deadlock situation with no kills. 
However this match dragged on until the 50th minute. Both teams were as firm as rock, everyone harmoniously developed and dragged the match to a later stage. 
Ji Zhiyao watched till even his head hurt.
Heng: "Goodness gracious, even the last match against Tall Boots at the previous national qualifiers hadn't been this disgusting. Fortunately it was Xiaofei who went on today and not me. Xiao, does your hand hurt?"
Xiao: "Still fine. F*ck, are you sure these are new numbers? Why do they not have any sense of vigor at all! Nothing like my son, full of vigor and energy, rebuts the whole world and the team dictator." 
Nuo cackled: "Amazing huh Xiao. For Chinese New Year next year, NoHomo would have couplets to hang outside his dorm's door."
Ji Zhiyao had a speechless expression.
Mo Huaifeng saw a chance and pushed down the second last turret in the middle lane whilst hiding in the bushes, then said, "Xiao take the big dragon, Xiaofei bait. Lure them all to the middle, we'll push directly from the middle lane."
K: "Tell me I'm not the only one who caught the impatience in Captain's tone." 
Mo Huaifeng: "I urgently need to pee."
Following the mindset of "no matter what we cannot delay Captain from going to the toilet", Xiaofei went to the middle lane and died gloriously in the face of their enemies, the middle lane directly became a complete mess. Xiao took advantage of that to take down the big dragon then obediently hurried to the defense turret to join the rest. 
A training tournament that dragged on for 50 minutes, finally ended within the last five minutes. In the last moment, Nuo who was used as a human shield and pushed out to block three of the Skitters' players received affectionate gazes from everyone, Mo Huaifeng's expression became incomparably relaxed and made an exception in patting his leg before hastily running towards the bathroom. 
According to Nuo's own words: "Turns out in Captain's heart, I'm of greater importance than his physiological needs."
His eyes were teary, Ji Zhiyao was especially tempted to get him to sober up quickly.
He wrote the last word and put his notebook away. Looking up, he saw his Captain, like a son of an aristocratic family, leisurely walk out of the bathroom, swung his hands and said, "Break for the afternoon, come back before 9 PM at night to train."
Nuo cheered loudly, bouncing around the whole room in a pair of oversized pants. "I'm dying of hunger, I want to eat at the sauerkraut fish place at Chang Jing Road, Captain's treat please!"
K asked, "Brother, did you not eat lunch?"
"If I had not eaten lunch I would have fainted long before the tournament. This meal can be taken as my afternoon tea, aren't you hungry after defeating that bunch of rock men from Skitters?" 


The handsome, skilled newbie livestreamer, Ji Zhiyao, has a dream. 

"One day, I want to become the most famous crosstalk actor amongst the livestreamers."

Later on, this dream is forgotten by him and secretly becomes another.

"I want to overthrow Fi-god! I want to become Mix's new team dictator!"

The rich and aloof idol of the eSports scene, Mo Huaifeng, also has a dream. 

"Two years later, Mix will definitely make it into the International League."

Soon after, subtle changes happens to this dream.

"I want to make it into the International League with Ji Zhiyao and after winning, I will f**k him on livestream."

Livestreamer to eSports pro, Captain to boyfriend, will their dreams come true?

Nobi House, Backyard

"Haah..Ha...hahh..hah..ha...

On the ground, there lay a boy that dont even have a hint of muscle on his body wearing a yellow shirt, blue shorts, and glasses, panting on exhausion.

After he lay on the ground for ten minutes he suddenly sit up. Looking at the ground and pulling the little grasses that have grown there.

"Ahhh.. this is really hard, *sigh"

It is of course, non othere than our great protagonist, Ace or now called Nobita.

After he started with the running, without even five minutes he was out of gas, in other words , he got weak stamina and exhausted fast.

"I really don't want to exercise anymore and just want to lay on my futon and sleep, but," a flash of determination flicker on his black eyes and continued,"This is for my future, base on my knowledge on Doraemon that I watch in the past, Nobita is always going on dangerous places for their adventures.

"Because of that I need to make myself stronger!" he said, then he look at his body and suddenly became depress, then he saw the sticker that is plasted on him and became cheerful again.

"Luckily, I got Doraemon to help me with this, with him here I'm sure it will be a piece of cake." he said with a big silly smile on his face, to the point that his big eyes turn into slits.

Thinking of that he was suddenly full of energy. He stand up and dusted body of dirt.

"I should probably start running again,"

Then he run again arounf their backyard.

***

5 minutes later Nobita is still running. 

After another minute, he is now again exhausted. He rested while laying on the ground again while thinking,'I can really see my effort having visible results fast with the help of the [Stickers] of Doraemon.' he thought.

Without him realizing the time, he just keep running and it only motivate him more when he see that visible result of it.

He run until he notice the warm orange light from the sun shining on him.

"Oh! I did not even notice the time" he said while looking at the sun.

After that he enter the house, he saw his mother watching tv on the living room. Without bothering her he enter the bathroom, remove his clothes and started washing and brushing his body meticulously then step in the bath slowly.

"Ahhhhh...." a comfortable sigh involuntarily escapes his mouth.

"A bath is really good" he said with his eyes close resting in the warm water.

He fall asleep without him realizing because of his exhausion.

***

An our past by, and he finally woke up, he slowly open up his eyes.

"It seems like I pass out because of exhausion," he muttered in small  

The first thing he saw is the ceiling of his room. Then he look around and saw Doraemon reading a manga and laughing at a corner.

Doraemon, who also notice him waking up said,"Oh your finally awake" he glance at him and then resume reading the manga.

"Yeah, Doraemon how did I end up in my room?" he said while slowly sitting up.

"Mama was asking me where you've gone to, because she notice that your not at the yard anymore, so we look for you around  the house and finally saw you at the bath pass out, then I carry you to your room after dressing you up." Doraemon said slowly

Nobita turn silent for a moment, then said," Thank You Doraemon!" he said sincerely.

Doraemon look at him again, then said, "No Problem" with a smile.

Jono was sulking miserably at Gray's side while Gray kept intentionally asking the escort he was given about the advantages of VIP over the others.  This was one of the few times that Gray really had the one up on Jono so he was taking his time to rub it in.

"Oh, so I can go ahead of people with value, normal, AND advanced passes!" said Gray smiling while eyeing Jono to see if he could get his face to explode from jealousy.  Felicia, the gorgeous female escort and attendant, felt it was quite amusing to see these two bicker so she was glad to bestow any information about the VIP pass and emphasized how it was superior to the others.

"Yes!  AND all of your snacks and beverages are included so eat as much as you want all on Alterra Corporation's dime!" said Felicia smiling while also giggling slightly watching Jono start to look a little green even.

Eventually they did stop teasing Jono as he started to go numb and talk to himself so they figured it would be a good time to stop messing around.  Felicia finally ended the teasing by adding "Oh, and your suite can be used by you and up to 3 friends, no matter what level of pass they have!"

This last part was meant to offer some consolation to Jono and Gray considered riding his high a little longer but after seeing Jono's puppy dog eyes he caved and said  "Dude, I was planning on letting you come already, don't give me that look, it's grossing me out"

__________

Felicia guided Gray and Jono to a large hall with a stage in it that was used for the larger events and took them up an elevator that Gray had to use his VIP pass on to get it to operate.  Along the hallway was 3 rooms, Felicia led Gray and Jono to the second room and led them in to their suite.

"Wooowww…" Gray thought to himself as he looked at the interior of the suite.  Inside was a fully automated kitchen on one side and a full bathroom and den on the other side.  The main interior contained an ornate kitchen table made out of real wood.  Wood was a luxury in this day and age with virtually no free land mass to support huge forests anymore.  Outside of the room a sliding transparent door led to the balcony which had 4 large cushy chairs, each big enough to easily hold two people if they didn't mind sitting next to each other.

Felicia strutted in front of Jono and Gray and pointed out the various amenities for them and left a holoboard on their kitchen counter that they could order the food from a high quality chef AI.  She opened up the door to the balcony and swept her hand out over the balcony saying they had one of the best views available.  Jono was relieved at the bathroom and immediately excused himself since it'd been awhile for him.  Felicia sat down in one of the cushy chairs on the balcony and folded one leg over the other seductively as Gray was peering over the railing out of curiosity.  Gray turned around and saw Felicia looking at him with both of her arms out on each arm rest while her legs were crossed causing Gray to feel a bit nervous.

"You must try these seats, they are made out of the most comfortable sea foam that scientists have been able to genetically enhance" Felicia said charmingly while stroking the arm of the chair she was in.

Gray thought it was getting a bit warm in there but sat down regardless and felt himself sink in just a little bit as the chair really did feel like a gentle embrace as it supported all of him comfortably.  "Um, it's a little too soft, are these adjustable?" Gray asked.

"Indeed it is, let me show you."  Felicia got up from her chair and leaned over in front of Gray's chair, she reached out with her right hand and touched a small slider under the arm and swiped her finger towards the front of the chair and Gray started rising in the seat as the chair became firmer, eventually becoming as hard as plastic.

"Wow, that's amazing!" said Gray.  He was really tempted to play with it of course because it was something new to him and who doesn't love playing with new things!  Felicia sat down beside him on the now firm chair, much to Gray's surprise.

"You have to be gentle with it, or it will break…"  Felicia said extremely seductively while looking at Gray.  Gray got extremely shy at this point and wasn't sure what to do and absent-mindedly swiped the slider towards the back of the chair all of the way.  The chair become soft and cushy again and even more so than before.  Because of the softness, the chair sagged slightly in the middle causing Gray and Felicia to slide into each other causing both Gray and Felicia's face to get bright red.

Naturally, Jono opens the door and in a panic Gray jumps up suddenly causing Felicia to fall on to her side.  Jono sees Gray standing there not looking at him as Gray is pretending to continue to admire the view while Felicia's face is a little red from before while she's lying on her side on the chair.

"Oh, Ms. Felicia, if you were tired, we could've taken a rest before." Jono said unknowingly thinking that she was lying down to rest.

"O..Oh, I'm fine I was merely showing Gray how to adjust the softness of these chairs and I accidentally slipped a little when it went soft…" said Felicia

Gray couldn't help but think "Good thing the chair isn't the only thing that went soft."

__________

The three of them returned to the main hall of the game conference and Felicia had said that she needed to attend to other matters but she gave Gray her direct message number in case anything else came up.  Jono asked for it too and as one last rib on Jono, Felicia stated "What for?  You're not the VIP" causing Jono to cry a little on the inside.  Felicia laughed softly then returned to the security office near the front of the banquet hall.

Gray and Jono visited a few booths for other games, Gray went mostly to check out the upcoming games and Jono said he did the same but he was drooling at one of the female models in cosplay attire and not paying attention to the actual gameplay itself.

Gray had developed a theory about these sorts of conventions, the prettier the model, the worse the game.  A great game would sell itself and not need eye candy to draw people to it.  Naturally the large booth setup for Alterra Online was packed with people.  It seems that if you picked up a code from the Alterra Online booth, you could get an exclusive mech decal.  While this sort of thing really wasn't important to Gray, he did like to at least collect as many freebies as possible.

When the staff at the Alterra Online booth saw his VIP status, one of the attendants came out to greet Gray.  "Sir, may I scan your ID badge?"

"Uh, sure" replied Gray.

After scanning Gray's badge, the attendant looked down at his holoboard and then said "Oh!  You are one of the members of 'Enter Team name here'!  For having one of your team's fights being selected in our promotional video, you and all of the other members of your team will each gain 1000 merit points!"

Gray's eyes went wide because this was really a large sum at this time and would bring his and the rest of the team up to 2270 merit points each except for Stacia that had 1470 merit points due to purchasing a Juniper SE.  He figured it would be best to hold on to it for now though as their Diamond-tier mechs would finally be usable the day before the official launch.

The attendant handed Gray a holoboard that had the promotional video playing and said "If you would like, we can add your name and team name to the video in the places you're used to promote your team instead of just listing it in the credits."

Gray thought for a moment and said "Eh, sure, why not."

Gray watched the video from start to finish and had to admit that although it was a sloppy fight against their first opponent, it sure looked flashy, especially when you Yurika's mech stormed out of the forest with her submachine guns blazing.

After finishing the video, Gray had to admit that some of the matches they picked were a little odd, but it also did show that one could have fun in Alterra Online aside from blowing away the other team.  He actually thought it was hilarious that one guy actually started picking up rocks, trees, dirt, and even his own weapon to throw at the enemy when he used up all of his ammunition.

"Desperate times call for desperate measures I guess.  Still, I am impressed with the level of realism as I never would've thought one could pick up the terrain like that and use it as a weapon as a last ditch effort."  Thinking about the realism further, Gray really started to consider utilizing terrain for future matches on the maps that were large enough to do so.

While thinking further, the lights in the entire conference dimmed for a moment and a loud voice boomed throughout the venue.

"Ladies and Gentleman, the Alterra Online promotion will begin in 10 minutes, please find your way to the main hall!"

A hundred years from now the Earth is now reduced to several domed cities after the last war raised the temperature across the planet thus raising the sea level.

The most common escape for everyone is virtual reality.  A new game, Alterra Online, is set to release and promises to be the most realistic mecha/military/political simulation to date as well as the first full dive virtual reality game.

Gray Wilhelm, like so many others, wants to be one of the first to play.  What is Alterra Online's secret?  Why do players feel more alive in the game than in real life?  And why is the government and Alterra Corporation working on it together?

Features:
- NO Systems, Reincarnations, Supernatural Powers, harems, or brain dead females that chase after MC.
- Monty Python references and many others.
- Believable characters



11/9/2019 - Slowing down release rate temporarily as I edit and clean up the first volume extensively.  Wow was I bad!  Doesn't quite need a rewrite thankfully.
