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.

The summer passed in a haze of work and two close calls when Aaron was in the area but before she knew it, Keeley stood in front of her dorm building with two suitcases and her father in tow. 

It was time for her to move in because school started the following day. They used her recently acquired student ID card to pick up the key downstairs before lugging her things up to the third floor. 

As a freshman, she would be living in a traditional style dorm with no kitchen and a communal bathroom. 

Her room consisted of two beds, two desks, two dressers, a mini fridge, and a microwave. It was long, skinny, and had a single window located between the two beds. 

She decided to claim the right side of the room and asked her dad to set down the box of school supplies and wall decorations that he was carrying to help her set up a little. 

"Where do you want this?" he asked, holding out a few sheets of flower wall decals. 

She looked up from where she was putting away clothes and squinted at them. 

"Oh, I'll deal with those later. I want to spread them out across my half of the room evenly. Could you start organizing school supplies on my desk? I have a little plastic storage box with drawers for them." 

"Sure thing, honeybun. Where's your backpack? Do you need any to go in there too?"

"The notebooks should already be in there but I have a little pencil case. If you could put a couple of pens, pencils, and an eraser in it I'd appreciate it!"

Keeley did not have nearly enough room in this dresser for all of her clothes, as suspected. It was a good thing she only brought seasonal items and could go home to swap things out in her bedroom in Brooklyn anytime she wanted. It would still be warm for another month or so before she had to break out the fall outfits. 

After unpacking nearly everything she decided to do the decorations herself and sent her dad off with a hug and kiss on the cheek, promising to come visit him the following Sunday and make dinner. He hugged her tightly and told her to call him after her first day to tell him how it went. 

Just like that, he was gone and Keeley was left alone in her new home. She finished setting up the corkboard on her desk with a few photos on it and was working on spreading out the decals of roses, daisies, and leaves around when the door opened. 

A petite Hispanic girl with curly hair stood in the doorway with three large suitcases. 

"Hi!" she greeted with a Spanish accent. "I'm Valentina Benavente. Nice to meet you!"

Keeley set her decals on the bed and hurried over to help her with her bags. "I'm Keeley Hall. Here, let me take something."

Valentina smiled gratefully. "Thank you. Have you been here long?"

"Only about an hour. My dad helped me move in. Do you have anyone with you? If you don't I can help you unpack."

"I would appreciate that! I'm here alone; my parents sent me off at the airport in Lima. I want to go to an American medical school before going back home and opening up a practice," Valentina disclosed cheerfully. 

She had been here less than two minutes had been smiling the entire time.  

"Oh, you're from Peru? That's so cool! I've lived in New York City my entire life but I've always wanted to travel," Keeley said as she finished putting up the wall decals before helping her new roommate. 

"You will have to show me all of the good places around here then."

"Sure!"

They happily chatted about their expectations for their first year of college as they set up the room and discovered that they would be taking a lot of the same science classes in the future because their majors had a fair amount of overlap. They even shared the same introductory biology class this semester.

 Keeley was thrilled to meet such a friendly person right off the bat. 

Once the room was set up, it was about dinner time so they headed to the main dining hall nearby. Valentina was fascinated by all the different types of food and asked tons of questions. 

The dining hall was similar to a buffet but not quite. There were several stations offering different meal plates that could be chosen at will, plus a dessert bar that also boasted an assortment of cereal and a waffle maker for breakfast. 

Keeley got a plate of chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans plus a blueberry muffin. Valentina wanted to try a bit of everything and got plates from multiple stations, making her roommate laugh. 

"Slow down there, friend. You'll be able to try everything by the time the school year ends. I guarantee you'll be sick of the repetition at some point." 

She remembered how tiring the meal plan got back at Boston University. They had a rotation of different meals every two weeks but that was still not a lot of variety to last two semesters. It was such a relief when she moved out of the freshman dorms into an apartment that had a kitchen. 

Valentina was a bit sheepish. "You are probably right…but I have never seen this much American food in one place before."

Keeley clapped a hand on her shoulder. 

"Don't worry, you'll get acclimatized soon enough. I have to ask…have you ever had pizza? Or a hot dog?"

"No?"

"I'll have to take you to the best places around here then!" A thought struck her. "Oh, do you have a job?"

The other girl nodded. "Yes, I have a work visa to be a TA for an upper level Spanish class in the linguistics department."

That was good. Eating out in the city was not cheap. 

"That sounds a lot nicer than my job," she said with a laugh. "I work at a Burger Barn."

"I have never had a hamburger before. Should I get one from Burger Barn?"

"Nah, you'd be better off getting a higher quality burger somewhere else. We're meant to be cheap, fast, and easy but not necessarily good. I'll take you to a nice burger place, don't worry!"

By the end of the dinner, Keeley felt like she had made a new friend. Back in their dorm, someone knocked on their door asking if they wanted to come down to the rec center and join the ping pong tournament going on. 

They decided to do it since there was nothing better to do and ended up meeting a fair number of their neighbors that way. Dorm life had officially begun and Keeley loved it.

Keeley, a simple plain Jane, hits the jackpot.  [No, she did not win the lottery!]  At least that's what she thinks when she marries the most eligible bachelor in New York City: Aaron, a wealthy cold-hearted heartthrob and Tycoon. 

She wants to show the world that she deserves her position and bends over  backward to fit into his world.

One beautiful day, Aaron hands her a document asking her to sign.  A divorce paper...

"She's pregnant, and I need to take responsibility."

That is the last thing that keeps on playing in her mind before she takes her last breath.

Keeley dies, a 'hit and run'. [End of story.  Not!]

For some unexplainable reason, she wakes up as her younger self.  A young high school girl, around the time when she first meets her cheating husband.

Remembering her life with Aaron before she died, she makes a promise to herself that she will do everything in her power to avoid him at all costs.

Will she be able to keep her promise when Aaron has his own plans as well, specifically for her?  Or will she repeat history and fall for him once more...

Why not journey with me and find out the truth behind their story.

My name is Justus Erickson and this is my story. Today has been slow as usual in the restaurant, cleaning dishes and wondering what kinds of people were eating these fancy dishes like lobster and oysters, etc. It is now the end of my shift and the boss is sending me home. Walking outside and heading over to my car, the unexpected happened. I was struck by a bolt of lightning out of no where. There aren't even any clouds in the sky! What the hell! This is what went through my mind before darkness overtook me. Little did I know that my true life was just about to begin. 



I am now awake and am currently laying in a hospital bed. I listen as a nurse talks to a doctor at the foot of my bed. "It's incredible doctor! His hair has grown down passed his shoulders and is now pure silver in color, as well as his eyes. His skin tone has become a healthy golden color from the pale white he originally had, and his height has increased from 6 feet tall to over 6 and a half feet tall! This just goes above and beyond the realm of science. This can't even be explained by science. He was hit directly in the heart by a lightning bolt and instead of dying, his body became the peak of the human male, if not more. After all doctor, we have yet to have him go through stress testing, assuming he is even willing. Oh, look doctor! He is awake already! How incredible.." 



I sat up and made eye contact with the hot nurse and the sexy and mature female doctor, whose name tag I could see said Dr. Mary Sue. Are you kidding? Actual Mary Sue?! Isn't that supposed to just be a bad joke guys like to use? Now a real person with the name has appeared! Anyway, clearing my throat I asked the doctor, "So, from what I hear my physical condition seems to be unusual. Is there anything for me to be worried about? If not, I would really like to go home. Today has been too eventful of a day for me." Looking at me thoughtfully, the doctor held her chin before nodding and saying, "Go on home, if we have anything further that we require from you we shall contact you. Go home and rest." Thanking the doctor and the nurse, I got out of my hospital bed and grabbed the spare change of clothes that they had prepared for me along with my keys and wallet and swiftly made my way for the door. Let's go home.



Finally out of the hospital, I called a cab and had it bring me to my work so that I could retrieve my car. It's just an old 1995 Ford Taurus with black paint and blue flame decals down the sides of the car. Climbing into my car, I turned the key over and started the engine. Home is only three blocks away from Kerrie's Dining Hall. I live in a one bedroom apartment at Cherry Hill Apartments. In no time I have made it home, and walk into apartment number 10 on the second floor. Sprawling myself out on my sofa, I sigh in disbelief and stay this way for a good half an hour or so. However, I have grown curious as the nurses description of my appearance was so far from my original appearance that it sounded like an elaborate prank. Though, now standing in front of my bathroom mirror I stare in disbelief. I stare at the face and body of a god. Because in my mirror I see me wearing some ancient battle armor and lightning flashing in the sky. My eyes have flashes of sparks in them as well in the reflection. Suffice it to say that I have gone catatonic at this point. After all my reflection is just too terrifying and epicly cool at the same time. I am confused, because I feel like I recognize this appearance. Wait a minute.. Thor God of Thunder! Holy crap... Did I somehow become the reincarnation of Thor or like his vessel on Earth or something? This is nuts, so then that makes me a hero or a god. Whichever is the case, I am sure to have godly strength and power over thunder and lightning. This is totally badass!  



Finally calmed down, I walk out of the bathroom and change into my own clothes from my closet. Noticing that my clothes don't fit anymore, I sigh before changing back into the black tee and blue pants that the hospital gave to me. Looks like it is time for a mall shopping trip!

Justus Erickson is just your average joe dish washer, 32 years old this year. He is suffering from massive depression due to a lack of motivation in his life. Now, little did he know that his life is about to change in an absurd way.


Note: I don't own the cover art, I found it on Google.

Li Zhan smiled and pulled the dazed Xi Wan over. "Let's go out and take a look. "
The streets of the capital were very bustling. There were rows and rows of tall buildings everywhere. The streets were clean and spacious, and there was an endless stream of cars.
Because of the Cherry Blossom Festival, most of the shops here used cherry blossoms as a decorative theme. The entire place looked like it was filled with the heart of a pink girl.
Most of the items sold in the shops were wrapped with cherry blossoms. They were girly and cute. Xi Wan thought that she was a little old and should be able to resist these things. However, when she really saw many cute poses.. She could not help but feel her heart beat faster.
The amazing thing was that Li Zhan could guess what she saw. He then ordered the shop owner to wrap it up. After a while, he carried a lot of packaging bags in his hands. Every belt was pink and cute.
Xi Wan was full of doubt as to why Li Zhan could always guess what was on her mind. She looked at Li Zhan and wanted to say something, but she hesitated.
However, Li Zhan saw through her thoughts again. "Xi Wan, you must not know that when you see something you like, your eyes will shine. " He stood in front of her and put his arm around her waist. He kissed her and looked up to see her eyes shining The smile on his face was almost overflowing. "Just like now. "
Xi Wan:"..."
He smiled and rubbed her head. "mm, so stupid and cute. "
Perhaps it was because the two of them were too good-looking and too well-matched, many tourists looked back at the two of them again and again, and their eyes revealed a look of surprise and envy.
Matsui Alley was one of the oldest streets in the capital. The buildings on both sides were no longer skyscrapers, but small wooden houses with folk characteristics. Behind the wooden houses, there was a tall cherry blossom tree. It was the season when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and the crown of the tree was pink.
Standing in front of the wooden house, one could feel that there was a big pink hat on the top of the wooden house. A wooden house might not look like much, but if a row of wooden houses were like this, it would be quite stunning and beautiful.
There were also quite a number of tourists here. There were also quite a number of people wearing neon clothes, wearing wooden clogs, and combed their hair into a special bun. They held a cherry blossom fan in their hands, and their faces were full of smiles, which was particularly eye-catching.
There were also quite a number of couples here, taking photos in front of each unique shop. Xi Wan saw that many of the boys were squatting down, holding their phones diagonally and taking photos on their backs, just to make their girlfriends'legs look straight and slender. Xi Wan also heard that there was a girl from China who was smiling at her weird boyfriend. She didn't know how to take photos, so what was the point of having him. The boy hugged her and said sweetly, "what do you think? ''. The girl blushed and spat, "Hooligan. ".
In short, this street was full of laughter and was very lively.
Xi Wan stood in the crowd and looked at the couples laughing and acting weird. She probably wouldn't be able to experience this feeling for the rest of her life. She suddenly felt lonely and lonely. However, before she could feel any deeper sadness, her hands felt hot.
She turned her head and saw Li Zhan staring at her.
As the two of them walked, they were stopped by a stall owner who was standing in front of a wooden house on the street. He sold simple Cherry Blossom decals, and there were also many pink cartoon Warrior decals. Li Zhan bought a cherry blossom decal. It wasn't expensive, only 20 RMB.
Xi Wan wanted to complain, "boss actually has a girlish heart. " However, he tore off the decal and stuck cherry blossoms on her face and forehead.
"Why only me! "
He was rather generous and handed the sticker to her. "You can give it to me too. "
She got up from her mischievous act and waved the rest of the sticker at his face. For a moment, his handsome face looked like he was wearing a pink mask. It was full of Pink Cherry Blossoms, only revealing his facial features. No, there was also a pink Cherry blossom stuck on the tip of his nose
He was so tall, but in the capital, a country that was generally short, he stood out like a crane among chickens. Now, he was even more outstanding.
Many passers-by saw Li Zhan's appearance and couldn't help but laugh. Some people even took out their phones and couldn't help but take pictures of this funny couple.
Facing those strange gazes, Li Zhan was still calm as usual. He only said meaningfully to Xi Wan, "as long as you're happy. "
Xi Wan snorted twice.
The two of them walked forward. Suddenly, someone patted their backs. The two of them turned back and saw a bearded uncle with a camera hanging around his neck. He smiled and nodded at them, then mumbled.
"Sorry, I / don't / understand, " Xi Wan replied in English.
The uncle was shocked. He opened his mouth and mumbled again. Xi Wan only heard "Neon Desnei" clearly, but she did not know anything else.
She looked at Li Zhan. After all, he was the one who had been chatting with the boss in Neon.
Li Zhan smiled and rejected him in neon. The uncle had no choice but to take out his business card. The two of them took one each and left reluctantly.
"What does he do? A TALENT SCOUT? A photographer? "
"Talent Scout. "
"Oh. I guessed it. " Xi Wan smiled.
After walking for half a day, her legs were numb. Looking at Li Zhan again, his hands could no longer carry any more things. Ah, the feeling of someone paying for you and carrying your things couldn't be better.
Back at the hotel, Li Zhan sent Xi Wan back to her room. After putting down her things, he said "good night" and left.
Xi Wan placed her things on the bed one by one. They were full of pink, making one's heart involuntarily stir. Then, they saw three photos with the things. One was a single photo of her, one was a single photo of him, and the other was a photo of the two of them together.
This was taken at the end of Matsui Alley in a photography shop.
In the photo, she was standing in front of the window of a Retro Wooden House. The moment she lowered her head, the golden sunlight shone on her face and was put into the frame.
In the photo, he was leaning against a cherry tree. His posture was casual. The wind blew, and the cherry blossom petals slowly fell. The sunlight shone on his face, and it was exceptionally beautiful.
In the third photo, she was standing beside him. He was holding her waist. Just as the photo was about to be taken, he suddenly kissed her. She had a surprised look on her face
She had three photos, and he had three photos.
Time flowed like water, and an instant passed. It was just a photo that recorded that moment, eternal and unchanging.
After putting the photo away, Xi Wan looked at the various pink items on the bed. She used her phone to take a photo, and finally logged into Weibo.
"The Cherry Blossom Festival in Nihon is very lively. I accidentally bought too many. Stick out my tongue" photo photo photo photo photo
The comments below were filled with a girl's heart: "Goddess, you are actually in Nihon, I am also here, seeking a chance encounter! "
"Ah Ah Ah, the things are so cute... "
"No SELFIES, bad reviews! Angry"
Of course, there were also some particularly discordant ones: "Hehe, as expected of a huge bitch, is this a thousand-mile-long gift * * ? " * * Was a character that was censored by Weibo.

Well from what i...... : Linley

Linley almost answered what was in his mind..... no more like his memories but then he was shocked to sense someone behind him.....

He slowly turned around and saw a beautiful lady with long, bright-red hair and large, pupilless eyes. 

She wore an elaborate, high-collared kimono with the Uzushiogakure symbol on the back of the obi which was tied around her waist. Her hair was arranged in buns with hair pins in them and three clips in the front. 

She also wore a dark shade of red lipstick and had a rhombus marking similar to the Strength of a Hundred Seal on her forehead. She also wore tags with kanji written on them in her hair decals.

He swore in his mind... HOLY CRAP that's Mito Uzumaki... what is she doing here..... but he didn't show it outside... his eyes were crystal clear and had revert back ti their original colour....

Well from what i.... no all of us know we live in an age of constant war.... where even the mightest shinobi had fallen along the way... : Linley

Hmm..... I see you have a point but why would we want to test the kids??? : Mito

Isn't to find a few genius that can elevate their love for the village and protect it from outer harm?? : Linley

True that compared to Hashirama and Madara in the war of clans, in the old era before the villages were even created... they started training from 3 from what he had told me.... : Mito

Then with his legend resounding everywhere, he could fight from my age??? : Linley

I don't know about the specifics.... but i think they could fight Jonin class at the age of 8-9 : Mito

Ehhh... then aren't I far behind...??? : Linley

Pfffttttt.... ahahahahha with your talent in 4 BloodLines I believe you already can..... : Mito

Linley happy like face went down the drain.... his eyes became deadly serious and took a fighting stance..... Mito, on the other hand, didn't even bother with his actions.....

But I'm well surprised to see you have 3 times the density of our clan BloodLine..... along with Nature and the Senju... I can sense the 4th one but I don't recognise it... : Mito

How do you know all that..... depending on your answer I may have to kill you..... : Linley

Pfffttttt.... ahahahahha Kid if I wanted to kill you I would have done it the moment you entered in this sector..... : Mito

Just try me..... I swear I will give you a headache..... both you and the Village..... : Linley

Linley activated again his eyes making his bear the pain he was feeling... he gritted his teeth and took the stance to charge his strongest Jutsu in his arsenal....

Purple Sharingan with two rings??? no.... it's Rinnegan?? no from what I know it covers the whole area of the eyeball.... not just the core... : Mito

Mito could feel her BloodLine being suppressed..... and also could feel 5 Elements gathering in the gap between his hands shocking her and making her a bit cautious...

Kid stop that you're clearly in pain just by activating your eyes... if you activate your Jutsu as well you will lose your arms..... : Mito

Linley showed no sign of stopping and why should he??? he bore the pain and officially started his Jutsu making Mito's eyes flash with astonishment..... this Kid can perfectly blend 5 Elements????

Linley Riku lived his life as a total MADAO.... leaching off from everyone he could..... His love was anime Manga and all types of fan-fictions but his most favorite one that would kill if he missed something from it was Naruto.... One day as he was sitting in an cafeteria seeing Boruto series..... Sound of brakes could be heard and the last thing he remembered was a huge BUS... Stepping over them killing him instantly.....

Eo's eyes were closed. In his head, he was replaying the battle. Looking back at the events, he had realized that Nestaris had actually spared his life. Then again, Eo wasn't using his tangiform. Eo wasn't sure whether to feel happy or sad about that, so he switched to thinking about tactics and other boring things.

What happened to him? When Eo was a mere recruit, he had managed to rapidly expand his reservoir of knowledge. That also coincided with the rapid increase in his essence level. Although he fought monsters for quite a while, that apparently only increased his essence marginally.

Of course, this was all relative. Eo's increase in essence was still absolutely massive in comparison to others. For Eo though, it felt like he was slowing down.

Learning and experimenting about the nature of essence unlocked so many more doors for Eo. It was also the event that triggered the most explosive growth for him. However, that didn't necessarily make him better at utilizing it himself. Eo's daily combat with the monsters allowed him to become more proficient with his essence.

Eo needed experimenting, then training. Learning, then practice.

Eo gagged. That sounded exactly like school. Eo took a deep breath. If essence training was going to be school, he was going to have to be the biggest nerd. He was going to be the valedictorian in his one-man class.

Should he use tangiform? Eo ponderously sat for hours (instead of sleeping, which was what he was supposed to be doing at this point). He then decided to use it only if he saw others using more advanced techniques. Looking back at his most recent fight, it was glaringly obvious that he was lacking in what seemed to be basic combat skills.

Eo was going to fake his terrible fighting. It wasn't that hard at the moment. All he needed to do was not use his tangiform.

☆

Eo squinted at the harsh glare of the arena lights. Why did they have to be so bright?

The opponent stepped up. She was dressed in a lot of red, with fiery decals plastered all over her armor.

Eo rolled his eyes. Probably a heat elemental. Why did they always have to be so flashy?

The announcer was someone else. Apparently, Mr. Zetterbard was one of the more important announcers. He announced major events, like a champion's battle or a newcomer's first match.

The new announcer had a really stuffy nose.

"This will be uh… Eo's second match and Kaldai's nineteenth match. Good luck to both, try not dying."

Kaldai leveled a flaming blade to Eo's chest.

"I better not get whupped by this wimp. Nah, I'll just kill 'em."

Kaldai horizontally swung her sword, unleashing a giant arc of flames. Eo limbo'ed it. Kaldai was thoroughly unimpressed.

"Hey, wimp, do you take me for a fool?" She spat on the ground. "I'LL KILL ALL YOUR FRIENDS!"

Eo backed away. "Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's like, zero people."

Kaldai started swinging her giant sword in a frenzy. Eo ran in circles. The audience of about four people started cringing.

Eo tried warning Kaldai. "Yo, calm down. You're making us look bad here." When that didn't work Eo synthesized a dagger and threw it at her.

The dagger would've missed, of course, but Kaldai tried swinging at it anyways.

Seriously? Eo thought. They're lumping me in with weird people like these? Eo normally wasn't the type to judge his personality against others, but his pet peeve was interacting with people that couldn't take a single sarcastic comment.

Eo infused a teeny tiny bit of essence into his legs and jumped. He jumped higher than a meter. Kaldai's eyes widened, and Eo threw the dagger into her torso.

The dagger hit her in the lower gut, and Kaldai stumbled back, clutching the handle. Blood started dribbling out of her abdomen, and she looked thoroughly shocked.

Eo wasn't trying to kill her. He just saw a clear target, and his body reacted as if it were fighting a monster.

"Hey, uh, you okay?" Eo looked at Kaldai. He was pretty sure he didn't hit a vital organ.

Kaldai hit the ground face-forward. Blood started pooling out of her.

"Uhh…" Eo looked around frantically. The spectators leaned in their seats. The announcer actually looked slightly awake.

Eo realized what he had to do. Here was someone who was immobile, injured, and probably dying.

Eo counted to 10.

One thousand years ago, a prophecy foretold of a hero that would descend upon the world that could finally seal the Horde Chasm.
That hero was called a savior, and he was named Kyros.
A rare human born of two natures: Water and Heat, this hero had unlimited potential and the fame of the entire world. 
This is a story about this protagonist...
Not.
Meet Eo, a kid who doesn't like the fact that someone else has taken the spotlight in his own life. He is determined to seal the Horde Chasm himself, and competes with the protagonist's plot armor with his own brain.

Picture is by me. Yes I know it looks dorky. Oh well. I don't like taking random images off the internet, so I guess, uh... don't judge a book by its cover?

The case was opened, revealing a miniature crossbow.

The miniature crossbow was made of steel. It was hard to tell if the exterior was actually coated with silver paint or if it were real steel itself, but it was extremely shiny and smooth. It reflected the light from the spotlights, sparkling on stage.

It was a small bow, with a length of about eight inches and width of six inches. It was like a silver bird with its wings outstretched.

The auctioneer brought up the miniature crossbow, on it was attached a quiver. He then stuffed six arrows into the bow and said in a loud voice, "Now, everyone pay attention to what I have on hand. Barnett made this crossbow himself. I won’t be explaining who he is, but if you don’t know, then you wouldn’t buy this fella anyway.

"This fella is called "Pterosaur Rage"—handcrafted with aluminum, steel, and bronze, its arrows are made of carbon fiber and stainless steel—definitely a deadly weapon.

"I will now begin accepting offers—500 dollars seems like a good starting price, so 500 dollars, 500 dollars, 500 dollars for Barnette’s handcrafted crossbow, together with fifty arrows!"

Hans raised his hand and said, "550 dollars!"

"Alright, 550 dollars, 550, 550—anyone for 600 dollars? Without a doubt, something of this workmanship is worth 600 dollars…"

"Me, 600 dollars!"

"Alright 600 dollars, 600, 600—congratulations kiddo, but it doesn’t belong to you yet—650, 650, anyone going for it?"

Hans raised his hand again, yelling, "700 dollars!"

"Seven hundred fifty!"

"Eight hundred!"

"Eight hundred fifty!"

Hans shook his hand and yelled, "One thousand!"

The crowd groaned and mumbled. The ones who had made an offer previously took a step back, indicating that they had given up on the crossbow.

The auctioneer called three times for 1,000 dollars; with no one bidding, he slammed the hammer and said, "Alright, now this ferocious little pterosaur belongs to that buddy over there. A round of applause for him while we bring out the new babies."

Another bunch of items came out, including the motorcycles.

At that moment, the crowd burst into cheers and applause, while several young people squeezed to the front. They were all potential soon-to-be owners.

They looked different from when they were first assembled. Stephen and Hannah had given the motorcycles a fresh coat of paint, with the three bikes each different colors: red, white, and black.

On top of the glossy paint coating were decals of flames, skulls, Cerberus, and other details, making the motorcycles seem more manly and tough.

The auctioneer yelled into the megaphone, "Alright, a beast has appeared—these were provided by a good fella named "Hans Fox"... don’t ask me who that is, because even I don’t know…"

Hans was laughing from below; he waved to the surrounding people, then pointed to his own chest, implying that these were goods he had provided.

"But we don’t need to care who the previous owner was, we just need to remember who the new owners will be, don’t tell me the young ones aren’t feeling up for it…"

"Look at this: these monsters have a 600cc displacements, and they are undeniably the kings of beasts. Look at how beautiful the workmanship is—I’m starting to think that they might be descendants of the monsters in Soviet…

"We all know that the more simple motorcycles are built, the easier they are to maintain, and the more thrilling they are to ride, so let’s give these a starting bid of one thousand dollars. I believe everyone should to happy to make an offer…"

Immediately, someone called out: "One thousand—me, me, me!" 

"One thousand one hundred—I’ll take it!"

"One thousand five!"

"One thousand eight!"

"Move away you peasants—two thousand from me!"

"Two thousand one hundred! Buzz off!"

The price quickly shot up. After 2,000 dollars, the offers greatly decreased, but this price had already made Li Du very satisfied.

From 2,100 dollars, the price slowly—but steadily—rose, until it reached 2,500 dollars. The one who made that offer was a young black man about Li Du’s age.

The auctioneer called for the final bid three times, and with no one else making an offer he slammed the hammer, indicating that the motorcycle belonged to the young black man now.

Hans led the applause, and the crowd followed with their own thundering applause. The young black man and his friends around him bumped fists with him and exchanged embraces.

Next, another motorcycle was pushed forward.  

Li Du felt things were strange and said, "These motorcycles were assembled by us—I don’t think the actual value is that high. It should have been tough to get more than a thousand each."

Hans said with a laugh, "That’s the charm of used-goods auctions. Everyone wants the item, so the price skyrockets."

"Then why would they come here to buy them? American motorcycles are everywhere, right?" Li Du asked.

Hans said, "First off, ours have a 600cc displacement, with premium grade engines by the Japanese. Although they are second-hand, their value is still high.

"Second, the old-goods auctions business has already established itself. Also, you should understand why so many people here like this trade: they believe in this market, so they’ll specifically come to this market to trade.

"Lastly, self-assembled bikes are very uncommon in a small place like Flagstaff. If you don’t want to go to Phoenix or Tucson, then you can only get them by chance."

"Likewise for the other items, right?" Li Du said, feeling enlightened.

"Correct."

The other two motorcycles sold for 2,500 dollars and 2,600 dollars—about the same as the first bike. The total profit from the three motorcycles was above their expectations, totaling 7,600 dollars.

Hans went to collect the payment from the motorcycle sales. He then paid for the crossbow and gave it to Li Du.

"Why did you buy this thing for me?"

Hans sighed and said tiredly, "I don’t know why, but you tend to offend people. You don’t have the license to buy and possess guns—this crossbow is for you to protect yourself."

Mr. Li thought about it, and felt that it was a good idea. Embarrassed, he said, "I shouldn’t have made you pay for it."

Hans said, "Don’t hold back with a brother, just take it. But before using it, make sure you shout as loud as you can: ‘Judgement from Big Fox!’"

He shouted loudly, and the people around all turned their heads toward him. Mr. Li could only pretend that he didn’t know the idiot.

The auction ended. It was late, already nine at night.

The crowd started thinning, with everyone leaving the place, marking the end of the auction for this week.

Li Du was also preparing to leave, but then Hans brought him to the market. The second-hand market was still quite lively, with many people shopping in the streets.

Hans said, "It’s not just an old-goods market, but also a night market. Because of the hot weather in the day, night is the time when it really comes alive."

Li Du said, "The people here sure are gutsy."

Under the sunlight, the flowers and greenery were luscious and bright. But at night, in many places of America, it would turn dark and dangerous. People loved to perform some illegal acts in the night, and thus, security would become poor when the sun went down.

"The rural areas of Flagstaff have good security. The cops are quite hard working in that aspect, and there aren’t any gangs controlling these places. Anyhow, this isn’t Memphis, and even more so, not Detroit."

After Hans explained himself, he brought Li Du to one of the stalls and sat down.

Driving through the rough back roads in shiny new sports car just outside Function city in the heart of the forest nation of Relvance. Gara, Arc and Tral bouncing around with little suspension separating them from the torn up uneven road. Tral with half his body hanging outside the vehicle is currently up chucking the contents of his stomach all over the side of this very expensive car. 

"can you just stop for a moment sis? please this feels like hell took a dump in my skull" begged Tral who's attempts to sober up are meeting the harsh reality that is the great hangover.

"Hey no-one told you to create 100% alcohol in your stomach and we are already behind schedule with that whole incident with the Trex in the parking lot wrecking all the cars we would have taken or that messed up event when you made all that fried chicken fall from the sky... also destroying the vehicle cause the chicken was THE SIZE OF CARS!" Berated Gara as she kept swerving the car unnecessarily. "Not to mention when the government put two and two together (took them long enough) and sent the bloody Doom Guard down on us making us have to flee from FREAKING FIRE BALLS that asshole Major Tomson kept raining down on us while his cronies just fired harpoons at us! We had to go the long way in the opposite direction just to loose them and this is all because you can't handle you're powers when blackout drunk!"

"Ok I'm sorry! I don't even remember that stuff but please stop this driving before my innards are torn apart!" Tral implored who's face was dyed a sickly pale green colour.

The sports car screeched to a halt sending Tral flying into a tree. Luckly he made a giant beanbag appear just in time between him and the tree, saving him and his bones from an otherwise unpleasant experience.

"awe yhea that's so0Oo much better" exclaimed Tral as he relaxed in his new beanbag chair. "I'll just rest my eyes and when I get up we can go meet up with Darick at the abandoned mine just like we planned..."

"oh no you don't jerk face!" Gara fumed "This is all your fault so you are going to need to do some serious making up for this before I'm going to let you have even a wink of sleep" .. .. .. Tral starts snoring.

Gara in a fit of wild rage transforms into a massive bear and proceeds to slap the sleep right out of Tral's face.
"Aah ok, ok I'm making amends! lay off me would ya?" cries Tral while he spawns a knarly monster truck with savage fire decals as well as a king sized pillow top bed in the back and mini-fridge full of premade sandwiches.

"hm and you think this will get you out of trouble.. you wish it was that easy to just use your power to buy your way into my good graces" Chided Gara as she looked down at her hungover brother.

"what if I got you a new diamond neckless covered with countless precious purple gems to accentuate your lovely hair and eyes?" asked Tral with a bit of a smirk working it's way onto his sickly face.

"Oh I knew you cared about your dear sister, I'm so lucky to have the best brother in the whooole world!" Gara praises reverting back to normal acting completely different from a few seconds ago when she was about to bite his head off.

"Are you two done bickering so we can go now, I already packed our things into the new ride and ate a sandwich so if you two would just hop in the back, we can get out of this dump" Arc suggested

"wait a second there speedy. I'm just going to leave some presents for when our eager beavers caught up and find this ride"  Insisted Tral as an unusual amount of leaves started to fall onto metal objects that had suddenly appeared in the car seats.

Gara and Arc look at each other shaking their heads "you know some random stranger might find it first? Is it really nessessary to fill such a nice car with bouncing betties? asked Gara inquisitively 

Tral looked mildly bothered "you're probably right.. I'm not thinking clearly but what's done is done and I can't  easily remove them soooo we should just leave" Tral says as he climes up onto the bed in the back of the truck where he immediately falls asleep.

Gara hops into to the passengers side and yells "onward mighty steed, to victory and getting right out of here"

The tricked out monster truck roars to life as Arc drives off into the sun set towards their randevu with their missing member.

An couple hours later three heavily armored personal carriers rolled up to the leaf covered sports car. A group of soldiers dressed in white and blue uniforms exits the first APC and a large gruff looking man with a thick mustache, smoking a cigar examines the car from a distance. 

"no-one is to approach the vehicle. It is doubtful that they left anything useful inside. Lieutenant marks co-ordinate with your team to clear the leaves and search the ground for fresh tracks." Ordered Major Tomson as he lights a new cigar with a snap of his fingers.

"sir yes sir" the soldiers respond with gusto as they start clearing the ground around the sports car

A dignified priest perposely walks next to the major watching the soldiers work.

"Bishop Andrews... thanks to the angels we found this place so fast, does the heavens have any more information for us today?" asked Major Tomson respectfully.

"The heavens speak of a reunion of heathens.. in a place forgotten to time.. also.. he did it again.. the car is full of them.. no point checking it they didn't leave anything else as you assumed" The Bishop stated with reverence.

"Thank you Bishop. We will catch them with heavens will, these sinners think that they can abuse the powers gifted to them from above but they will have a reckoning" Declared the Major "Get your butts back in the transport soldiers we are moving out in ten!  Marks report your findings!"

Lieutenant Marks runs up bows to the bishop and then solutes the Major "reporting sir, I have found large tracks starting here and leaving the area in the same direction as the sports car. we should be looking for a monster truck which will likely produce significant sound sir" reports lieutenant Marks.

"good job soldier, prepare to depart immediatly" Ordered the Major as he jumped onto the back of the APC gesturing to the others to move out.

The bishop stared at the tracks pressed deep in the ground and sighed "what a waste of talent. Only 10% of the population are born with innate abilities and these examples have such incredible powers compared to average... if only they where brought to the church before their powers manifested.. could this be a sign of the coming of the great change"

The Bishop methodically walked over to the apc and entered the passengers seat. Even though the soldiers looked impatient to leave no-one rushed him, in their eyes only a look of reverence for him.

After he received news from the AI, Hao Ren flew to Inferno to close out the construction phase and meet the representatives from the Fairy Mining Conglomerate. Only Vivian and Lily followed him this time. Vivian wanted to check on the First Born while Lily, you can bet on it, just wanted to have some fun.
The Scarred Nebula had been flashing a beam of light in the purplish-red gaseous cloud for thousands of years But a new family member appeared on the edge of the 7.7-lightyear-wide spatial rift among the handful of star systems. Planet Inferno was like a beautiful snowball hanging on the side of the Scarred Nebula. It became the only scenery in the desolate region. The sunlight from the nearby star shone on the planet and produced a sea of golden glow across the cloud top.
The Petrachelys flew towards the golden glow and arrived above the clouds of Inferno. The geo-positioning equipment, which Hao Ren had set up on the cloud top became temporary atmospheric satellites, constantly monitoring the planet. Hao Ren ordered Nolan to hover the spacecraft at a distance of a few dozen meters above the cloud top and establish a connection with the atmospheric satellites. The MDT reported, "The readings are normal. It's been half a month, and it looks like all parameters are stable."
"After all, it was the Prime 'Leg Force' of a true goddess that put it in place; it shouldn't be a problem." Hao Ren nodded. "When will the representative of the Fairy Mining Conglomerate arrive?"
A holographic image of Nolan appeared on the flight deck. "They're already here. Their spacecraft are on standby at the outer edge of the nebula."
As she spoke, she could not help but cast her eyes on the console, because the hologram of a blonde girl was sitting there as cool as a cucumber. She turned a blind eye to everyone else's stare. The blonde girl's conscience was right in the slot beneath her buttocks. The brick had gotten the upper hand in the battle over the console. The brick's success had nothing to do with the girl's heart but everything to do with its thick skin.
"Don't even bother. It won't budge." Hao Ren looked at MDT in Pattianne form, shaking his head and sighing. "Didn't I even try the crowbar earlier? Let's just call the Fairy Mining Conglomerate now."
Nolan groaned inwardly as she sent a navigational signal to the Fairy ships that were waiting at the border of the Scarred Nebula, permitting them to enter Inferno's airspace. After a while, the profiteers and their mining fleet appeared on the monitor.
A spatial rift, like that of a pale blue door, appeared in the lower orbit of Inferno before a fleet of more than 10 large mining ships and a command ship jumped out of it. The Fairy spacecraft had distinctive red paint, and their front armor had strange decals of a queen bee-like coat of arms. The command ship was a slender triple-ship, symmetrically joined together by a standard axle. It was a tad smaller than the Petrachelys, but its unique position in the fleet and its sophisticated antenna system made it stand out as the command center of the entire fleet.
However, Hao Ren was more interested in the Fairy mining ships because they were more prominent and more eye-catching. The mining ships were like giant boxes joined together, with exposed mechanical parts running between the joints. Zooming in, Hao Ren could see that their mechanical components were an extension of the mineral-processing plant. On the upper and lower decks of the mining ships were huge openings for smaller collection vessels to go in and out. The mining ships were huge, and their axes were more than 10 km in length considering their unique uses. By civilian vessel standards in the Macroworld, they were giants. Even the Petrachelys paled in comparison.
While Hao Ren focused his attention on the mining ships, Nolan connected to the Data Network and retrieved information about the mining ships. The large mining ships had a complete processing plant onboard where initial processing and conversion of minerals could be carried out. The "large boxes" made up a high-throughput dimensional door, through which the space-time system would send the processed minerals directly to the Fairy planet. Without that mechanism, it was impossible for the limited number of mining ships to complete the planet-scale mining operation.
The Fairy merchants were wealthy. To carry out activities in every universe, they had offices and bases everywhere. They bought a few planets in that universe as their commercial base, and the planet, Mines was one of them. The Fairy Mining Conglomerate built mineral-processing plants on the planet and in the space surrounding the planet. They used Mines as an export base for ore to nearby markets in the universe. There were even rumors that Mines had consumed one percent of the mass of the world, which was of course nonsense. Nonetheless, the Fairy merchants welcomed the exaggeration to promote their business.
Later, the group of profiteers was investigated by the Space Administration's Material Control Department for the "free transfer of cosmic mass without proper backfilling".
Hao Ren took a glance at the information. To ensure a smooth transformation for planet Inferno, he had to first understand and verify the Fairy Mining Conglomerate's technical capability. He was delighted with the powerful mining ships and convinced that if the profiteers could dig away a group of meteors, they would surely be able to polish planet Inferno.
There was a request to connect their communication systems. Hao Ren tidied his clothes and got back in his captain's seat. A middle-aged man with a mustache and slicked back hair appeared on the holographic projection.
Nolan switched on an extra holographic projection for Hao Ren to access the information he needed. It was said that the representative of the Fairy Mining Conglomerate, Vanske Creden, once led his team digging through the largest solid planet in the universe. He received the epithet, "The digging man who dug through the sky".
Hao Ren felt the epithet sounded a little wrong. He pondered for a while but decided not to harp on about it.
"I am honored to be given the opportunity to undertake this remarkable excavation project," Vanske Creden introduced himself. "We have studied your requirements for the work and we are ready to start at any time," Vanske Creden said in a no-nonsense manner.
Hao Ren nodded. "Do you know the first requirement of this project?"
"Safety first," Vanske, like any qualified businessman, sounded and appeared trustworthy, though it may not have been the case in reality. "Each of our mining ships carries a gravity controller. With this gravity controller, the broken crust will be drawn into space directly without worries of objects falling to the world below. Of course, we have also considered the situation of the crust becoming fragile during the second-half of the excavation phase. We will mobilize a sufficient number of gravity-generating ships to pull the planet's entire surface crust directly into space."
While he spoke, Vanske sent his project proposal to Hao Ren. The MDT confirmed the plan and ran a mathematical simulation, which came out positive. "What he says is true. It's certainly the most cost-effective solution."
"There's no problem with the plan, and the incorporated contract has been signed according to the original draft I sent you earlier." Hao Ren looked up. "Are these all of your mining ships? Will it be enough?"
"Of course there are more to come," Vanske explained. "We hope to start work as soon as possible to solve the urgent needs of our customers. Therefore, before the start of any large-scale project, a leading team always arrives first to accommodate our customer. It is a long-standing practice of ours that adheres to our business philosophy—'We want our customers to experience the perfect service as soon as possible even if it means a higher cost for us.'
Hao Ren suddenly found the profiteers appearing entirely trustworthy. The MDT reminded him, "Actually, they're afraid that you might use your authority as an inspector to give the project to someone else. They've come early to first plant their stakes all over the site so that you won't be able to reappoint another contractor."
Hao Ren was speechless.
He hemmed and said, "Then waste no more time. You can start work now; polish the planet."


As a person who is down-to-earth as well as a good Samaritan, Hao Ren desires to live the rest of his life as a benevolent landlord. Stumbling into a curious yet mysterious lady, he began his journey of “collecting” abnormal and supernatural tenants. 
His life only became more chaotic when he receives a labor contract from “God”. Discover the many races, myths and worlds that lie beyond what humans define as normal! This bizzare fantasy full of fun is sure to bring you on a crazy rollercoaster of emotions!
