Zhang Zian prepared a pot of tea and carried it downstairs to give it to Old Time Tea.

After the New Year's Day holiday, the pet shop seemed a bit quiet, which was normal. Students were currently preparing for the final exams. Office workers were striving for the annual bonus. Retired people were reluctant to go out in such cold weather.

However, when the Lunar New Year arrived, the situation of his shop would be better because the children would receive a lot of lucky money from their parents and relatives. Since Zhang Zian went to visit Little Celery's school, he had a strong feeling that, as a pet shop owner, it was easiest for him to earn money from children. 

Lu Yiyun had begun to draw. Recently, she seemed somewhat mysterious and was very sensitive about her paintings. Whenever Zhang Zian walked past the cashier desk, she would quickly switch the interface of the computer screen. Zhang Zian could not help but wonder if she was drawing erotic anime drawings for those nerdy guys just to earn more money. 

Old Time Tea and Richard were watching TV. After feeding themselves, Fina and Snowy Lionet were sleeping on the cat tree. Even Famous was asleep. The most vigilant creature in the pet shop was Zhan Tian, who was squatting side by side with the statue of the Cat Goddess at the outer room of the pet shop like a gatekeeper. 

Since she knew that Zhan Tian was a veteran police dog, Lu Yiyun felt very safe with Zhan Tian in the shop. When Zhang Zian walked past, Zhan Tian stood up and looked at him with anticipation. "We will play outside after a while," Zhang Zian said to Zhan Tian, so Zhan Tian squatted on the floor again.

Zhang Zian poured the tea into Old Time Tea's thermal jug.

"Meow!"

As he was carrying the empty teapot to go back to the kitchen upstairs, he heard Galaxy's meowing from behind. He turned around. Blinking its silver-gray eyes at him, Galaxy said, "Meow! Zian, is Pi all right?"

Zhang Zian laughed. "Pi is fine. It just told me a very incredible thing."

"Meow! Pi is amazing!" Galaxy said solemnly and seriously.

"By the way," Zhang Zian lowered his voice and asked, "Galaxy, do you know about the book of Pi?"

Galaxy nodded. "Meow! Galaxy has seen the book before."

"That book ... is it really about life, the universe and everything?" he asked Galaxy. 

Galaxy answered without hesitation, "Meow! Yes! That is a very powerful book! It is the most powerful book on Earth!"

Holy s**t!

Zhang Zian was shocked. The most powerful book on Earth?

He already knew that this book was all-encompassing, but it was still quite incredible that Galaxy acknowledged that this book was the most powerful book on Earth. Galaxy tilted its head and thought for a moment. It added, "Meow! It may not be the most powerful book on other planets."

Well, things on other planets have nothing to do with me. Thought Zhang Zian.

He carried the water kettle and went back upstairs.

Pi was sitting in front of the computer, typing the digits of Pi in the browser's search bar repeatedly. When it saw Zhang Zian approach, Pi was just a little shy, but did not dodge or shun as before.

"Pi, this search engine has a maximum length limit. If you want to type more digits of Pi, I'll install a word processing software for you." Zhang Zian proposed.

Pi did not seem to understand Zhang Zian's words. Behind its pince-nez glasses, its brown eyes blinked. Pi opened its book. A moment later, it happily closed the book and moved away from the computer. 

"Eeek!"

Well, Zhang Zian guessed that Pi was asking him to install the software.

Zhang Zian found the official version of Microsoft Office that he bought a long time ago. He inserted the CD-ROM into the disk drive. After the lengthy read process, the word processing kit of Microsoft Office was correctly installed onto the computer. He launched Microsoft Word and a new, blank document appeared on the screen. Zhang Zian pressed the keys and typed 3.1415926 in the document, and then moved himself to another sofa, and invited Pi to sit back in front of the computer to continue typing.

"Eeek!"

Pi excitedly put the book on the coffee table, placed its hands on the keyboard to press the different number keys.

The nameless book was between Pi and Zhang Xian.  If he reached out, he could touch the book. However, he resisted his curiosity and tried his best not to look at that book. Instead, he focused on watching Pi while it was typing the digits of Pi—which was boring and made him dizzy. However, since Pi could put down its book, it meant that Pi had started to trust Zhang Zian, right?

After a while, Zhang Zian noticed that Pi's typing posture was not quite right, like that of Mr. Zhou whom Zhang Zian had met in the library. Mr. Zhou used only one finger to type. Pi was slightly better than Mr. Zhou by using its two index fingers to type, which was of low efficiency. That's why Pi had been typing so slowly. 

"Pi, your typing posture is incorrect," he reminded it.

"Eeek?"

Pi paused typing. It looked at him with puzzlement.

"Let me show you the correct posture." He sought the approval of Pi.

"Eeek!"

Pi moved aside. Zhang Zian sat back in front of the computer, placing his ten fingers on the keyboard. "Pi, you see, my two index fingers are on the two keys, 'F' and 'J'. There is a small bulge on each of the two keys so that your index finger can feel the bulge." 

He patiently presented Pi with the correct typing postures, explaining the areas controlled by each finger, and how to move its fingers correctly.

"Eeek?"

After the demo was completed, Pi imitated Zhang Zian's posture and tried the correct methods on its own. However, it did not type very well. Its knuckles were not as flexible as that of human beings. Its fingers kept intertwining with each other, and soon, Pi became restless.

"Eeek!"

Pi scratched its head and gave up learning the correct posture. It resumed typing with only two fingers. 

Zhang Zian decisively held its hand. "Pi, don't give up just because it is difficult. If you do not develop a habit of typing with the correct pose, and persist on typing with two fingers, your fingers will be prone to suffer from a variety of knuckle diseases."


He was not aware of the capacity of this document of Microsoft Word, but he guessed it could contain several millions of digits of Pi. If Pi continued typing with its incorrect posture, it would only be a matter of time before it suffered from knuckle diseases.

"Eeek?"

Pi looked at him with doubt.

"You can go check your book, which should have contained the correct typing posture." Zhang Zian said, pointing to the nameless book.

Pi listened to his words. It opened its book and turned the pages. After a moment, it put down its book and lowered its head uneasily. 

"Eeek."It uttered this sound like it was apologizing.

Since Armana was a coastal city, it was famous for its many sandy beaches. Both local citizens and foreign tourists preferred to spend their time at the sea, enjoying sea-related activities. In other words, people flocked to Armana for its sea-related tourism and not those inland... Or at least that was what Arthur thought. 
Indeed, Armana was most well-known for its seaside attractions but it didn't mean that it was lacking in other choices either. The two weren't mutually exclusive. To put it simply, the other places were simply overshadowed by the more vibrant seaside festivities and attractions. Arthur had learned that much from visiting Armana's official tourism website. 
He scrolled through the selection of tourist attractions available on the website and a particular one caught his attention. It showed the picture of a pristine lake with crystal-clear water and wooden pier. It looked just like a fairy tale with the falling leaves and the lake surface forming a perfect reflection of the lake shore. 
According to the website, the place was called Blue Lake. 'Such a mundane name,' Arthur thought. 'No wonder I've not heard of it until now. It needs some rebranding, starting with a name with more punch.'
The small passage on the website introduced Blue Lake as one of the oldest fresh-water lakes the city had to offer. In fact, according to the older generation, the earliest settlers found their home near this lake since it provided an abundance of food and fresh water, therefore without Blue Lake, Armana wouldn't have existed today. 
Arthur didn't know his city even had such a history. He wanted to find out more about the lake, specifically, why it had fallen out of the public eye in the recent years. If the lake held such a historical importance to the city, why didn't the city council promote it more often? 
Posting some information of it on the city's tourism website didn't count because who would visit government official website like this to plan their holiday? They should have organized events at the location or even posted posters about it like they did with Armana's annual seaside festival. 
Realizing he was not going to get any more information from the tourism site, Arthur went back to the search engine and keyed in the name Blue Lake. The search came back with plenty of results but none of them were exactly what Arthur was looking for. To help narrow the search, Arthur added "Armana" to the keyword search. 
The result he got was so little that they barely filled up one page. For anyone who had used internet search engine before, they would know how rare that was. The previous two hits were from the city council's main website and the tourism website. Arthur had already seen those so he handily skipped over them. 
The remaining results were from personal blogs and special interest websites. Reading through all of them, the information Arthur gathered on Blue Lake was still pitiably little. 
Apparently, Blue Lake enjoyed its fame before the era of mass communication. Then, just as the world was taken over by electronic devices such as phones and laptops, the place fell off the map just like many other things that were forgotten by technology and time. 
One of the more interesting things Arthur found on Blue Lake was provided by a blogger who specialized in local rumors and urban legends. According to the blogger, the lake was home to a guardian spirit and the locals from the surrounding villages said that the spirit would often take on the form of a young girl. She was a kind soul and would appear to help those who accidentally slipped and fell into the water. 
Before that day, Arthur would have no problem brushing that off as mere superstition but after what he had been through, the young man wouldn't bet on his life that these were mere rumors. 
Arthur was apprehensive of the prospect of dealing with another mythical creature but at least from the legends, the guardian spirit wouldn't be as difficult to handle as Miss S. The blog also attached a map of Blue Lake and after studying the map for a while, Arthur had a general idea on how to get to it. 
It did not escape Arthur's mind that this Blue Lake might not even be the location where Miss S' K would be found. Then again, with nothing else to go on, this was his best shot. He was going to pay Blue Lake a visit before deciding if he needed to come up with a new plan. 
With a rudimentary plan in place, Arthur decided to call it a night. He had had an interesting day and he was drained. Too many life-changing events had happened that day and he would need to sleep it off to process some of the information. 
Arthur closed the Book of Thoth and wandered about taking it with him back to his rental room or just leaving it behind at the Midnight Emporium. Leaving it at the store might risk the chance of theft but carrying it back home meant facing questions from his nosy landlady. Neither option seemed particularly attractive to Arthur. 
Just as Arthur was contemplating what to do, a sentence surfaced on the cover. "I am an extension of the Midnight Emporium so one cannot exist without the other. Leave me be and I shall watch over the Midnight Emporium." 
"So, now you're feeling chatty?!" Arthur huffed but since the book had provided him with the solution then he was not going to crack his head worrying about it. 
Arthur walked out from behind the counter and told the shadows goodbye. He exited the front door and was about to ask how to lock the place when the door slammed shut. Arthur tried the doorknob and realized it was already locked. "How convenient." 
Arthur shrugged and left the street, heading home. He turned the corner and the Midnight Emporium disappeared into the darkness, leaving behind a plot of empty land.

Officially stopping the book to rewrite it into "the Disciple of Aoide", a similarly-themed book that is more WN style.

"Sir, by the most expensive option…does that mean the combat pets from the legendary class?" the salesgirl carefully inquired.
She had seen many customers ask about the pricier beasts in the store but when they saw the price…well let's just say she did not receive any sale commissions.
The duke gave a small nod which caused the salesgirl heart to flutter with hope towards the father and daughter duo.
Good lord her commission was going to be great!
"Please follow me to the back of the store my esteemed customers," she softly spoke before leading the pair through the store.
Sophie's eyes sparkled as she took in the strange and wonderful beasts all around her. There was no unpleasant smell from the animals as the indoor filtration system and the cleaning robots maintained proper hygiene.
She looked at one of the cages and there was a purple coloured monkey who waved cheerfully before turning invisible!
What seemed to be a metallic sludge was shifting merrily around a small enclosure before violently banging against the door as they passed by.
The salesgirl led them past the recreational pet section and into the combat pet zone of the store.
Sophie noticed that the animals here seemed to be more aggressive and stared harshly at her figure as she walked by.
There was now an additional label under each one of the enclosures that showed what rank the combat pet was. Sophie saw that even the common ranked combat pets would sell for upwards of one million Enas.
What was the price of a legendary pet?
She dared not think too much!
She sneaked a small peak at her father who seemed pretty nonchalant at the prospect of his daughter's reckless spending and quietly made a vow in her heart to pay him back once she entered military service.
Sophie saw a rock-like golem with beady yellow eyes that made her slightly sleepy when she gazed into them. The duke gave her a gentle tap on the head and Sophie woke up with a startled expression.
The label under the creature showed that he was merely an ultra beast.
Sophie dared not casually look at the beasts inside the enclosures anymore and just quietly followed the guide until they reached a black door with two security drones hovering menacingly in the air.
"I'm sorry my dear customers but to gain access to this room will require a deposit of ten million Enas before I can allow you inside," the salesgirl carefully explained.
The duke said nothing but simply handed the girl a black credit card which she quickly tapped against a payment machine to process the amount.
Once the payment was complete, the salesgirl took out a metal plate from her pocket and pressed it against the sealed door.
A buzzing noise was heard from the security lock and the door swung open to reveal the hidden room within.
Legendary combat beasts were notoriously difficult to acquire and only high-end pet stores would be able to apply for a licence to breed and sell. Under the laws of the Federation, these beasts were treated as biological weapons, so every sale was heavily taxed.
Even the black market would only be able to sell very small quantities under the condition that the authorities would turn a blind eye once they received a cut.
The room was surprisingly bare and only contained a virtual hub that showed the projection of a book and what seemed to be a small transporter in the center of the room.
Sophie walked inside and was taken aback by the lack of animals.
"Where are the legendary beasts?" Sophie inquired in a puzzled tone.
"Our store only has a B-ranked pet licence to sell legendary combat beasts so we cannot offer any that have already been hatched. We are only allowed to sell eggs," the salesgirl explained.
Generally speaking, A- ranked and S- Ranked pet licences were only reserved for military contractors and special individuals with extremely high security clearances.
Having a B- ranked licence was the highest licence that a commercial business could obtain.
"But for those in the lower cultivation levels, it would be practically impossible for customers to tame an adult or even an infant legendary beast."
"However, we also sell training manuals and methods to form a blood bond with the egg that the customer selects so you will be treated as a parent once it hatches which tends to make the creature easier to control."
Sophie turned to her father who gave her an encouraging nod, so she eagerly ran towards the virtual terminal to browse the available selections.
Sophie did not intend to go down the path of beast cultivation, but she figured that the extra strength would protect her in the future.
Plus, she really loved animals!
Sophie tapped the floating book and a search engine was generated which could filter all the available beasts. There was also a guide section for new users, so Sophie decided to give it a click before deciding to search.
Reading the introduction page, Sophie realised that the eggs were all cryogenically frozen and once a selection was made then they would be teleported from a hidden location to the transporter in the centre of the room.
"Let's find an adorable baby!" Sophie joyfully spoke.
The results could be filtered using a variety of options which Sophie carefully browsed before making a choice.
[Size:  Small      Medium    Gigantic]
[Ability:  None      Singular      Multiple]       
[Trainability level: Beginner      Intermediate      Master] 
[General Specialization: Power      Strength      Agility      Stamina      Lethality]
[Combat Role:  Surveillance      Fighter      Tank      Healer      Control] 
[Weight:  Light (<25 kg)      Medium (25- 100kg)      Heavy ( >100kg)  ]     
She inputted a series of commands into the search engine to narrow down the results.
The first consideration was that the pet had to be small and in the lightweight class. Sophie did not want a bulky pet because travelling would become quite inconvenient.
And she wanted to hold and hug the pet in her arms!
For the special ability section, she clicked the singular and multiple options while briefly glancing at the master option on the trainability level before giving a sigh of resignation and clicking beginner.
There was no need to lie to herself…...
The remaining options of general specialization were quite tricky as they would basically eliminate an enormous percentage of the available stock.
Sophie stood in silence for several minutes but could not seem to make up her mind.
"Dad could you help me decide what option to select for the combat role and specialization?" Sophie turned to her father for help.
"Young miss, the most popular types of combat beasts are those that have the fighter and tank class roles! They will make you near invincible among your peers," the salesgirl quickly spoke up.
The salesgirl was eager to recommend those two options as it would increase her commission quite significantly.
It was true, although each pet for sale was of the legendary status…. there was great demand for the tank and fighter classes when compared to the rest, so they were naturally more expensive.
Sophie gave a small hum of acknowledgement before waiting for her father to reply. The duke stroked his chin for a moment before giving the opposite advice,
"I think you should select a combat beast that is useful for control, surveillance or healing,"
"Why?" Sophie asked in confusion.
"Because the other roles may give you an edge among your peers at the lower levels but once you reach the qi tide stage then your opponents will easily deal with them or go for you directly," he explained.
"And it is very easy to become over reliant on external sources of strength. I'm not going to mock beast cultivators but unless they have some type of defensive cultivation art…. they are easy pickings on the battlefield."
Sophie took her father's advice to heart and selected the healer, surveillance and control classes but left the general specialization filter slot empty.
She pressed the enter button and a few small dots appeared on the screen as the AI searched the database to find all matches that included her criteria.
[Adjusting list of combat beasts based on filters selected….]
[ Searching for matches: Matches found!]
To her delight she found that exactly five pets had met her stringent requirements. The list of filters may have given the illusion that there was plenty of choices for customers, but each legendary beast was incomparably precious.
They had notoriously low breeding rates in captivity and their dangerous nature made fatalities commonplace in the industry.
The Options were:
1)Frostwing Bat
– Surveillance/ Control
- Lightweight
- Special Abilities: Frozen domain, Supersonic blast


2) Eye demon
- Surveillance
- Lightweight
- Special Abilities:  Temporal Foresight 


3) Sephyre
- Surveillance/ Fighter
- Lightweight
- Special Abilities: Hellfire


4) Void Jellyfish
- Control
- Lightweight
- Special Abilities: Spatial Disruption


5) Elder forest pixie
- Healer/ Control
- Lightweight
- Special Abilities: Flora Manipulation, Life Aura

Sometimes power comes with a price......

Back in the adventurer's carriage, Chang Guan was meditating. Since he couldn't absorb Qi so fast, he had to meditate very regularly. The carriage was quite large for Yoshida Taiki and Chang Guan to share, as there was likely enough space for 4 people if necessary.

On one side was the meditating Chang Guan, and on the other, Yoshida Taiki was reading a book about botany. Its title was "Overview of Poisonous plants", and for him to read this was completely normal.

Chang Guan had no reason to read such books since he could use his Qi to force normal poison out of his body but for a normal person, knowing which plants were good and bad to eat could mean the difference between life and death.

Suddenly, the caravans began moving. Chang Guan thought to himself, `If the carriage is moving, that means it's 2 o'clock´.

Yoshida Taiki seemed as though he was bored and wanted to talk to Chang Guan, but was a bit too nervous to do so. After about 1 hour of cultivation, his Dantian could no longer handle the pressure, and Chang Guan stopped cultivating. He looked at Yoshida Taiki who was resting and said,

"So, what is it?"

The question woke Yoshida Taiki who hurriedly said,

"Ehhh, what?"

"Don't you want to ask me something? If not then I'll be resting now."

"Oh! I was just wondering, your name, Chang Guan, it doesn't seem like it's from the Purple Forest region."

"Correct, it's from the Black Desert region."

"Black Desert region, huh. That's quite far. Are you heading home now?"

"Yeah, there was no direct request from the Adventurers Guild to the Black Desert region, but at least this is going in the right direction."

Yoshida Taiki sighed and said,

"I see. Do you have any family living in the Black Desert Region then?"

Chang Guan's face darkened and said,

"That's none of your concern"

Then, he closed his eyes and laid down on the seat, trying to get some rest. He couldn't continue absorbing any Qi for now, but he could still increase the rotation speed of his Qi. Currently, his rotations a second was 65 R/s (Rotations per second), which was well above the necessary 50 R/s needed to reach the Green Mask.

As Chang Guan laid on his seat, time seemed to fly by as he was immersed in increasing his R/s, and before long, it was already 7 o' clock.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped, and someone opened the carriage's door. It was Itou Hachirou, who had come to tell the 2 inside to help set up camp. Neither Chang Guan nor Yoshida Taiki was surprised that they needed to help, as it was standard for adventurers to help merchants with odd jobs.

Chang Guan, who was in the middle of his Cultivation, was very unpleased at being disturbed but didn't let it show on his face and went out after Yoshida Taiki to help.

Although he went out to help, he had never set up tents and such, so he left that to Yoshida Taiki while he asked Itou Hachirou what he should help with. Itou Hachirou responded after a moment of pondering,

"Well then, please search the area for any sort of danger. Animals and people alike. If you can take care of it then do so, otherwise return here and we can think of something."

Chang Guan nodded and was about to search the area when he saw a little girl out of the corner of his eyes. Using his Qi as a method of detection, he noticed that this girl, Itou Ayaka, had a striking resemblance to Ryuu Mami, his cousin.

Watching the innocent girl, his heart quivered but he temporarily ignored it and went to search the surroundings. He instantly spread out his Qi to search the area finding absolutely nothing of importance.

Since he had finished, and couldn't go back since it would seem unnatural, he decided to slowly walk towards Itou Asaka.

Seeing this as a chance to clear up some of his regrets, Chang Guan used his Qi to create a barrier surrounding Itou Asaka and himself, hiding them from the outside, then he removed his disguise, revealing the appearance of a 14-year-old boy as he approached her from behind. As he got closer, he could hear her talking to herself with quiet, sad voice.

"Why? Why does no one want to play with Asaka?"

"That's not true. I want to play with you. May I?"

He said gently from behind her, startling her greatly. Then, he took a seat next to her and listened as she said,

"Really, you will?"

"Right. What do you want to play?"

"Let's play tag!"

"Sure!"

And so the two children, one 11 and the other 14 played a game of tag. After having played for about half an hour, Itou Ayaka looked over the camp and said,

"I probably need to go soon, do you want to come with me?"

"Sorry, I can't, but I also need to go, but can I first talk to you a bit?"

"Sure"

Then she smiled sweetly and said,

"My dad and brother always say talking to me is fun!"

"All right then. Then can I start with a question? Do you have anyone you love?"

"Yeah! I love my dad. And my brother too!"
 
"Hahaha, I don't mean that sort of love. But I guess it's fine if you don't understand yet."

Chang Guan smiled bitterly and continued,

"I loved someone, she looked just like you. But now she's gone, and I doubt I'll ever meet her again."

Itou Ayaka looked at Chang Guan, with a confused look on her face. Seeing this, Chang Guan laughed and said,

"Nevermind, it was fun playing with you."

Then he pulled out a jade from his Spatial Ring, held it up to his forehead, and then to hers. When the jade touched Itou Ayaka's forehead, her mind was filled with information. The jade was something called an Imprinting Jade, this was something you could imprint information and then transfer that to other people.

"I have passed you the first 3 steps of the Qi Condensation stage. If you can master it within 10 years, you should leave towards the Black Desert region and look for a cultivation sect to join. Also, you should keep this a secret, until you have reached the second layer."

He had found those 3 steps in his ancestor's notes but had no use for them, and as such felt it alright to pass it on to her. The reason he didn't give her the Ninjutsu stages was because he didn't want her to be found and chased by the person that annihilated his clan.

After doing this he and the barrier vanished, and at the same time, he disguised himself again and entered the camp.

The genius Shinobi from the Ryuu clan is all of a sudden left by himself with no way to continue on the path of a Shinobi, this, and a bit of burning hatred leads Ryuu Sasaki to leave his region and go to a nearby region, one known for its Cultivation.

Plenty of trials later and Ryuu Sasaki is finally there, but will his talent for Ninjutsu be the same for cultivation?

Follow Ryuu Sasaki as he tries to work out the perfect path to follow in order to get his revenge.

"MC POV"
It has been a few years since I had my chakra unlocked. That day I took my first step to becoming a god. A small step, but memorable.
since that day I have been learning to control my chakra. I can now control it like a third hand and interact with physical objects. Boy! that was a experience. the first time I made solid and tangible construct, I almost jumped off my bed. (and yes I now have my own bed so no crib from now on). My mother ran into my room so fast hearing the sound she thought I had gotten injured or something.
I have also been practicing my taijutsu as well. at first I started by exercising my body. Discreetly that is, I didn't want my parents to freak out seeing their son doing push ups. I have been trying to make my body more flexible than stronger as the unwanted muscle mass may affect my growth. The ninja life has a lot of tight spots, so I'm trying to basically increasing my evasiveness. I have also running as to increase my stamina. I can't do cardios but doesn't mean I'm going to sit there on my ass waiting for academy entrance. but that was before now I'm older I can openly exercise I want (within limits I front of my parents).
But the most shocking or not so shocking thing was that I could slowly enhance my body with physical energy. initially, the process was very slow but after some time the benefits started to pile up. The physical energy was affecting my Constitution and seems to have given my a slight healing factor not like that of Deadpool or wolverine, just a bit better than a average ninja which is a lot compared to my last world.
similarly, after seeing the effect of physical energy, I also experimented with mental energy and focused it towards my brain. initially I was slightly afraid that it will have detrimental effect or directly harm my brain but it just enhanced my thinking capability. I can proudly say I can remember almost everything I have read until now even my past life seem to be clear as a day. That was a depressing day when I decided to remember my past life, but I needed the plot points if Naruto so I can collect the benefits. It also reminded me about other manga and anime I have watched.
" I'm definitely going to those worlds, if Naruto world is real why can't others be real as well."
That's my promise of my life, as well as immortality. well the last one is not that hard to achieve in Naruto world. as long as you have enough brain for it. Hell even kabuto had pseudo immortality as long as he had chakra instead of the whole horcrux thing orochimaru had going for him. The host of juubi also seem to become immortal. the sage of six path must be those normality obsessed fool who willingly chose death instead of living in secret and watching over his descendants. Those guys were fighting over whose daddy's favourite. 
Anyway got sidetracked right there. The thing I'm most proud of is my chakra capacity. it was almost as big as third Hokage who I scanned when I saw him in Uchiha clan heir's birthday and hear me out on this one. It was Fugaku, you know Itachi's and sasuke's father, husband of mikoto who I'm totally going to steal if I have the chance. Do you know why?
Fuck canon that's why I'm definitely not going to name our children if I get her ie. those same name. That would feel like I got NTR'd or something. 
ugh! that was scary. anyway I'm going to collect a group of beautiful waifus if I wanted to in the future. I don't have much of a interest in that at the moment as I still need to survive a whole lot of crappy situations.
I have also unlocked my sharingan. haha surprised?
Me too. it happened when I was practicing my wall walking jutsu when for a split second I lost control while I was upside down on an branch. The sudden rush of adrenaline made my chakra pushed through a specific chakra veins in my eyes and boom. everything was clear as glass. The surrounding bled red and everything was like I was looking at 2D image. The clarity and rush of details invaded my brain but I was simply responding in lightning speed like everything was moving slower. i also did a backflip like a gymnast landing on my feet. With sharingan the reading sped up as well I just needed to flip the pages slightly fast and the information just gets uploaded in my mind right there at my beck and call.
This also made it easier to sneak peek into my father's jutsu library. I have a good repertoire of jutsu. Fire ones atleast. all Uchiha have affinity with fire as canon as that was. 
my father did not have a lot of other element's jutsu as he couldn't use it. The nature change guide was in the library atleast. The fire one was easy just cause friction and create a spark, then supply chakra to enhance the flame.
 on that note I'm officially eligible Uchiha as soon as I perform the great fireball jutsu. As soon as that happens I can freely enter the clan library and access any book or scroll in there. and let me tell you the Uchiha were really a thieving POS clan. they have recorded handsign and all the detail of jutsu ever copied by Uchiha clan member  which is an astonishing amount. I mean every elemental jutsu the sharingan laid their eyes upon, even bloodline jutsu were not spared. And I'm going to copy every one of those. my mindscape was styled after a computer and not a literal one. I can remotely access any info just by thinking about it or in my mindscape, Google search it. 
and yes I did put a search engine in my mental computer. but not named Google. its name is 'SEARCH'
Yes, that's it not grand but will work. so there.
But wait! did I mention I can do kage bunshin?
well now you know. and let me tell you that was a haxx jutsu as much as I thought it would be. I can literally read two different books at the same time and with my photographic memory retain every info. on top of that I can make ten of those easily and without any chakra intensive activity last for a while days, all ten of them. if I only make one with half my chakra I can maybe last for few weeks I presume.
 so I spammed it like every sane, intelligent and self serving guy like me would. I practiced every nature manipulation techniques, practiced chakra control, learned rasengan and rasenshuriken. that last one was bit too dangerous. thank God I did it outside the village and with a clone. currently there is a smooth crater at that place and increased security for few months. 
And to top it off. I'm learning chakra strings. I'm going to become doflamingo, broda! ultra sharp hyper sonic vibrating thin and sturdy strings for the win. Just you wait till I learn to add elemental chakra to it. it is currently quite visible to the naked eye and can be found by experienced eye. and with village full of them, I'm going to be found out if I use it in the open. it uses shape manipulation of rasengan to make solid strings but the size reduction is taking me a lot of time
 well! clone's time I mean. I just chill and occasionally practice all my learnings.
I have got few clones at practicing calligraphy. this my parents know. as I need the tools to practice it and they cost money. as a small kid, where am I going to get money other than my parents. I just had to puppy dog eye here and there and voila instant delivery. my parents were too gullible some time.
Enough reminiscing about the past. today I need to prepare for a special test. it will be easy as pie but it will give me Access to the clan library.
yes you guessed it. The great fireball jutsu test. it will be looked over by a clan elder and surprisingly I'm not the only one. there are few other children as well. I'm going to go last so that I can comparatively downplay my jutsu as being the best doesn't seem to give any benefit. it was just a protocol so the children are allowed to the library. 
And I'm going to be right at the middle in the result maybe few steps higher so my parents are not disappointed. 
I looked out the window. and saw the village outside and the Hokage tower far away. and a thought came to my mind.
'Ku Ku Ku! this world won't know what hit 'em. This world is my oyster from now on And I'm going to enjoy it to my heart's content'


AN:: And FULL STOP. how bout that?
was it good or bad? interesting? or maybe not?
I really like doflamingo's character in the one piece anime. even though he is a bad guy. his personality just touched me. awesome outfit, tall guy, cool shades, what's not to like right there?
anyway the story is becoming a bit too much crammed. so from next chapter will be real time interactive scenario the learning he will be doing will be just side details from now on u less it is something major like fuinjutsu or Edo tensei or other interesting thing. not a lot of OOC will be used as powers. no super Saiyan or haki or reiryoku or mana or anything. just chakra and chakra based things. 
so tell me how you like this chapter?
 ok byeeeeeeeeeeeee...!!!🖖☝️👆👇👉👈
edit:: I just got a new badge🏅😑

sometimes unexpected things happen when you least expect it. our MC experiences this literally when he goes to sleep on his bed and wakes on wrong side of the reality. let's see how he make the best of his situation and survive the brutal world of Naruto where you are not the main protagonist.

After recuperating for two days, Nathan finally decided to go out. 

Of course, his body hasn't completely recovered yet. It was only about 80-90%. However, he wanted to level up like crazy.

Well, aside from that, he also wanted to take a bath. The thing is, his scalp was itchy as fuck.

Although he had water, the bottled waters he had were only enough to drink so he had no choice but to venture out. 

***************************

He was outside of the apartment building and was currently invisible.

His long hair was tied in a ponytail and he still had his goatee. 

He was wearing a black shirt, a knife shoulder holster for his [Grade D] Short Dagger, grey jeans, [Grade D] Gloves, a watch on his left wrist, boots, and a couple of meters of rope coiled together on his left side. He also had a large leather fanny pack on his waist. Inside it was mini binoculars, a small flashlight, a lighter, and an iPod. 

He checked his watch. It was 8:00 am.

"System," he said.

His status chart appeared before him.

<Author's note: I decided to add the equipment on the status chart because I was getting annoyed about having to go back to the previous chapters to check the equipment. I'm already having a headache in dealing with the exp points, durability, and potions. Also, I'm adding durability to the gloves as well. Sorry, I totally forgot to address its durability on chapter 15. In fact, I only realized this when I was writing chapter 25 last night.>

He sighed and said, "Such cute stats. System off."

He pulled out his dagger and headed to the group of zombies across the street.

He approached one zombie that was far away from the group. 

When he was 5 meters away from the zombie, the system informed him that it was a level 5 zombie, giving him quite a pleasant surprise.

'Level 5? Lucky~' His eyes shined.

He went behind the zombie. The zombie was around 2 meters (6'5") tall. 

However, with Nathan's height at 6ft, he was still able to wrap his left arm around the tall zombie's neck, immediately losing his invisibility. He then quickly started stabbing the side of the zombie's head with his Short Dagger on his right hand.

Given that he was level 6 and the zombie was level 5, it gave him 25% experience points.  

He went to another zombie that was far away from the group. Again, it was another level 5 zombie and was around 2 meters tall as well.

'Am I really this lucky? Hehe~'

Although he found it a little strange to find another level 5 zombie, he didn't bother about it at all and just thought that he was just extremely lucky to encounter another one.

He did the same killing technique: go behind, warp neck and then stab like crazy.

'I'm now 76.5625%. I hope I would be lucky to find another level 5. Hehe~' he scratched his nose when he said that.

'But damn… This killing method is way too disgusting,' he thought.

But does he have any choice given his weapon? It was the safest and quickest method he could only think of.

Up ahead, there were two zombies.

When he was 5 meters away from them, he was surprised because they were all level 5 and tall as well!

'Wait… What's going on? Don't tell me all the zombies are now level 5? This…'

He looked at the zombies and started to think about the situation. He also noticed another thing – their height.

Nathan was 6ft tall and most of the people in the city he lives in were not tall, especially the women. 

It's not that he was looking down on short people or anything, but it's not common to see people around 2 meters tall unless you're in a sporting event or whatever event it is that requires tall people. However, right now, the zombies he had encountered so far have been tall, featuring a height of around 2 meters.

'Where are the short people?!' he shouted inside his heart.

He immediately tried to look for other zombies to check their heights and levels.

After looking a few minutes of running around checking on zombies, he found out they were all level 5 and around 2 meters tall. Even the children who turned into zombies were tall.

How did he know they were children? Well, based on the clothes that they were wearing which were way too small for their body, it was easy to tell – some were even naked.

He was standing in the middle of the street and thought, 'Is this perhaps evolution? Will they eventually become like those 3m-tall skinless zombies?' his expression darkened.

Just thinking about the D1 zombie he fought a few days ago made his knees go weak. He was very aware of how strong they were. He saw how Derek fought it. He himself even experienced first-hand the strength of the D1. He also remembered that even though it took two shells of a grenade launcher while injured, it still didn't die.

If he ever gets to meet one right now, all he can do is escape and never look back. 

'Time to level up like crazy,' he said to himself as he looked at the level 5 zombies around him and then started killing them one by one.

***************************

A man was running towards two zombies. He had a [Grade D] Scimitar on one right hand and a [Grade D] Short Dagger on the left.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Two zombie heads fell off and rolled on the floor. One of the zombies dropped a [White Treasure chest].

The man with a scimitar on his right hand and short dagger on his left looked at the [White Treasure Chest] and prayed, 'Please don't be a skill book, please don't be a skill book, please don't be a skill book…'

Of course, this man was Nathan. 

After hunting like crazy for more than 4 hours, he killed 60 level 5 zombies and was now level 10. Also, with the rise of his vitality, his recovery seemed to speed up as well, making him feel rather good.

'System.'

'System off.'

He bent down and opened the chest.

It was a [Grade D] Repair Kit.

This was his third Repair Kit. He already used the two earlier for his weapons. 
As for the other items he found, there was one [Small Healing Potion], a [Waterball] skill book, a [Grade D] Boots that gives +3 to agility, and the [Grade D] Scimitar which he was holding on his right hand.

He didn't use the Repair Kit right away. He decided to only use it once his Scimitar reaches 2/12. 

Regarding the [Waterball] skill book, he didn't bother to pick it up because he had no extra space and wasn't interested in it. Well, he could collect and sell them, right? Unfortunately, he was too lazy. 

The reason why he chose to bring a fanny pack instead of a backpack was because he wanted to focus on leveling up like crazy today. He needed to be light as fuck. And even if he does find an interesting item that's too heavy to carry around, he would hide it in a corner and come back to pick it once he's done. 

With the zombies around, who would have the time to search for hidden treasures? Unless that person has a skill to locate treasures or has crazy [Plot Luck], the probability of anyone finding it was very, very low.

'Time to grab lunch,' he thought.

After running around and killing for more than 4 hours, he was really hungry and thirsty. As for taking a bath, he decided to deal with it afterward. It was still 12:30 pm.

"I am a Chosen One! I refuse to bow down to society! Society must bow down to me!" 


Nathan is your average 24-year old man. Just like everyone else, he experienced both pain and happiness in his life which shaped him into the man who he is. 


One day, God unleashed a zombie apocalypse and gave humanity the System that allows them to level-up, forever changing the world. And among the humans, there are beings called Chosen Ones who are slightly better off than the average humans. 


Follow the journey of a man who slowly descends into madness as he survives in a zombie apocalypse and rises to power. 


Author's note: I took some ideas from the novel [God and Devil World].

"She cancelled again! That's the third time." Nashe said in despair.
"I'm not surprised you know. When you run a club that warns humans not to enter or else they'll be eaten, well what do you expect?" Erasmus said before he gulped down another pint of Dolphin blood.
"Yes well she should know by now that only applies to potential patrons. Honestly I couldn't make it any clearer that the musical guests are always welcome here. So many of the greats have played here for gods sake, what's she worried about.
"Well maybe she's just not at the stage of her career where she feels she's famous enough to play a Monster club without getting eaten? Or maybe it was the fact that you had to assure her that no one would eat her that keeps putting her off, we'll probably never know."
"Well you know what that means. I'll have to try and book a Demon act. At this late stage I probably won't get a human one. You can always get Demons at short notice. God Demon entertainers are so boring and crass." Nashe huffed as he pulled out his little black book of contacts.
"I agree" Erasmus said not caring at some of the Demons at the bar taking offence.
"I find it baffling considering so many Demons like Vampires were once people. You'd think they'd retain a bit of that creativity."
"I also get fed up of their whining 'oh if it wasn't for the fact that Demons existence has to be covered up I'd be the new Jim Hendrix, Amy Winehouse or Van Gogh' I just want to tell every one of the whiney fuckers 'no you grotesque abomination, you're shit no matter what. If anything being a Demon is a plus as most people won't tell you you're crap out of fear of getting their heads torn off!" Nashe moaned, only to be met by scowls from a number of his Demon patrons.
"Eh no offence."
"They'll act all proud" Erasmus laughed, "but I bet their collections are just filled with albums by human singers and films by humans."
"Well I do quite like Billie Holiday" The Vandal said. "She had so much soul." He joked, with all of the Demons at the bar except Erasmus laughing. 
"Well anyway" Erasmus said wanting to take attention away from the Vandal. "It's probably not the best idea to insult Demons all the time when you run a bar for them. Then again I'm not sure who you could cater too? You hate Demons, you hate humans? Maybe pixies, though I hear they can be very stuck up."
"Yes well Werewolves don't tend to be too popular do we." Nashe said bitterly.

"True but I'm a Vampire and we're even less popular, yet I'm beloved by everybody here." Erasmus said as the Demons, especially the Vandal all rolled their eyes, or what passed for eyes and grunted.
Nashe didn't even bother to reply, as he had managed to contact Abaddon through a skull with red glowing eyes (in actual fact the skull of one of Abaddon's previous victims.)
Nashe had never killed anyone. He had always tried to control his lycanthropy (at least as far as his patrons and friends such as Erasmus knew.)
The skull had been a gift from one of his friends, but he always felt sick using it. Still Abaddon was one of the few Demon singers whose work Nashe actually appreciated and was always reliable.
After Nashe performed a chant, the skull lit up in flames.
"Abbadon, hi sorry to bother you at this hour but."
The skull started to speak in Abaddon's voice.
"Werewolf, your kind sickens me. I am about bring about an age of darkness the likes of which your world has never seen. Fire will fall from the sky, blood shall flow though the streets" As Abaddon ranted, Erasmus mouthed her threats to himself. "Your oceans shall turn into slime, men and women shall become beasts who will devour their own children!"
"Yes well if that doesn't work out for you, I need an act to fill the slot on Saturday night. We have quite a number of important guests coming."
"Did you not hear me! I said the age of Demons has begun, this world will tremble before us!"
"Yes well like I said if you have time, or you have a change of heart, can you do the Saturday slot at 7:pm? I'd love for you to play, "The Apocalypse is a Losing Game."
"Oh why thank you." She said in a softer tone." You know that was one of my most personal songs. It was based on a true story."
"I think a lot of people here will find it relatable."
"Okay puny Demon hybrid if this world does not fall before my infernal might I shall see you there. Can you make sure you have giant Otter hearts? I know they're rare, but god are they just so succulent."
"I'll see what I can do, we just got in a new batch of Dolphin blood for the Vamps, but I suppose I could let you have some as you are a guest of honour."
"Thank you, I love Dolphins! I mean they shall be among the first species to burn when this world falls before our might. I'll see you Saturday."
"That was quite eh, worrying." One of the patrons next to Erasmus said.
"What do you mean? I just booked an act. You know Abaddon calls me a dirty Werewolf, but I think she might have a little thing for me. Look at how quickly she accepted my offer. I wonder if dirty has a double meaning. " Nashe said enthusiastically,
Erasmus spat out his blood in response whilst the rest of the Demons burst out laughing.
"You're not serious. Please tell me you're joking. She keeps human heads as pencil holders, and as toilets. Or so I'm told." Erasmus said in disbelief.

"Oh please those are just tall tales. I hope. I can't imagine a human head would be very practical as a toilet." Nashe replied

"Yes I thought that too, but with Demons you never know."
"I was talking about the appocalypse she was planning on bringing about." The patron interrupted.

There was a silence before all the other patrons at the bar burst out laughing, or at least their equivilent of laughing.
"I take it your new here." Erasmus said.
"She's always trying to bring down the appocalypse or claiming she is. I reckon she just got a bad review on Askirolios"
"Askiro what?" The patron asked to Erasmus confusion.
"You've never heard of the Askirolios search engine? Dear god man how do you keep in touch with everything that's happening in the supernatural world?"
"I don't use social media much these days." He said nervously.
"Big mistake. You'll never know what's going on, local gatherings, news about the neverending war between Demons and humans, when the next concerts, or Demon films are out? How do you live man?"
"Well I don't go out too much." The patron said as he moved away from the bar.
At the nearby table were several Vandals sitting over glass filled with what looked like green energy.
"You okay pal." One of the larger Vandals said as it slowly unsheathed the claws on its hands.
"No no, I'm fine." The patron headed to the dance floor where there were all kinds of creatures, Vampires, Werewolves, Vandals, Demons, Ghouls and everything in between dancing together, though the Vampires and the Vandals were naturally still keeping their distance somewhat compared to the other creatures.
The patron stared in fascination at all of these strange creatures for a few minutes before he felt a hand slam down on his shoulder.
"Are you alright friend?" It was Erasmus.
"You haven't touched your cow blood. Here let me get you a glass of Dolphin blood."
"No, no that's quite alright."
"Please it'll be my treat. Dolphin blood is so much nicer, though I prefer blue whale blood personally, Nashe hasn't brought that in in a while because of a lot of animal rights activists. Whiners, you'd think they'd be happy that we don't eat humans at this bar."
Erasmus could see the patron wince at the grissly conversation.
"No, no I'm fine."
"I think we need to talk." Erasmus said.
"I don't know why I don't."
"Trust me it would be better if I spoke to you." Erasmus said as he looked back at some of the Vandals who were looking at the patron in a very threatening way.
"Okay but I should warn you I'm not just any old Vampire, I'm."
Erasmus brought the obviously human patron to a small table.
"What are you doing?" The Vampire asked very quietly?
"What I'm a Vampire just like you?"
"What breed?"
"What? Breed, there is more than one type of Vampire? I mean I'm a, a."
"An idiot whose going to get eaten or turned if he doesn't watch out?"
After a few seconds the human wisely dropped the pretense and was honest with the Vampire.
"Okay you got me. I'm a horror author. My name is David Pratt."
"Pratt"
"Yes I was going to change it after I got published."
"Ah I think I see where this is going."
"I have had a few stories published online and in some sites, but well so far I've not really made a name for myself."
"And you were hoping to get some inspiration from visiting this town?"
"Yes. I'd heard stories that this town of Wyndam, was a hotspot of paranormal activity."
"It is. Has been since the days of the British Empire. It's about the only place where Vandals and Vampires can share a drink."
"Yes well when I heard it was that I hoped I could maybe get some inspiration for some stories, but I found not a lot of people were willing to talk about it and I couldn't find anything online."
"No you won't, other than vague urban stories, most of which are bastarized. All real stories on the internet about Demons, Vampires, the Supernatural automatically goes on the search engine, Askirolios thanks to a spell. It's how we cover our tracks in the modern age of smart phones and social media. You can only access if you are a Demon or use a very specific spell. It's kind of like a Demonic google. You'll find news articles about what's happening in the Demon world, a video service like Youtube exclusively for Demons, sites where you can buy Demon artifacts, even dating sites, everything."
"Fascinating."
"Not really. Like I said to Nashe, Demon entertainment is really boring, or disgusting. Some of the things on the Demon video sites will make you vomit."
"Well you could say the same thing about the human internet. I've always had an interest in the paranormal. I didn't just come here for inspiration you know. I wanted to learn about what's really out there. There is another world that exists under our own. It's incredible."
"No it isn't. It's horrible, nasty and disgusting. Just like the world you already live in. Trust me you have enough to worry about in that world, without Vampires, Demons and Werewolves."
"Well it can't hurt to know just to keep safe."
"I suppose, but then again I'd hardly call wandering into a bar filled with monsters keeping safe."
"From what I'd heard this was a place for reformed monsters?"
"If that's the case why did you bother pretending to be one of us."
"I thought this was just an exclusive club for supernatural creatures. Seemed like a good place to learn your history. Like that monster geneology chart at the back for instance. Just what is a Shaddy."
Erasmus rolled his eyes.
"First of all this isn't just a place for supernaturals. It's non humans. We have aliens in here too you know, though they have their own search engine separate from Demons, whilst Witches and Warlocks also have their own. Fortunately I know the password, spell for all three, but still. Look at that guy dancing with the Vandal in the black dress up there. He's from the Andromeda galaxy over 2 million light years away."
"Seems an awful long distance to travel just to get a pint."
Erasmus wasn't amused.
"He's here because his people were slaughtered in an intergalactic war. He and the few other surviving members of his kind have helped build up and defend our planet in ways you can't imagine. There's actually a network of aliens living in secret on earth who meet up here every few months. There they are at that table, up at the back. This is a place for all the creatures who are shunned by humanity to gather and relax. In all fairness some of us are shunned because we you know, eat people. Still naturally we don't let humans in, unless we know we can trust them."
"So you're scared of us? That's ironic."
"Well not you. We did used to let humans in here. Originally this was a club for everyone, but sadly over the years, hunters started to attack the place and many good monsters were slaughtered. Also not all of the monsters who come here are reformed. We try to make sure they are, no human blood or organs are served, just animal. Everything from Dolphin to Alligator, to Rhino, but no humans. Sadly however that doesn't mean we still don't get a lot of human killers in here. For instance look at the Vampires. I'm probably the only Vampire in this city that doesn't feed on people. The Vandals aren't much better, neither are the Ghouls. Most of the Demons we get in here are not a bad lot, well not an evil lot at least. It's easier to keep the peace all around however if we're not fighting over food which a human would be.
Erasmus stopped to take a drink of his Dolphin blood much to David's disgust.
"God that really is brilliant. I find the more intelligent the animal, the more delicious its blood tastes. I probably shouldn't be thanking god mind you, but still. Your little disguise won't have fooled anyone. Vampires and Vandals for one can sense one another. I reckon that those who noticed you will be waiting to jump you outside, either to eat you, or torture you for information if there are any hunters planning an attack, or just for the fun of it, or all of the above."
"You're not serious are you."
Erasmus didn't say anything. He didn't have to as David noticed one of the Vandals at the table still looking at him.
"Don't worry about it though. I'll help you. I'm not so popular around these parts myself. I've helped close down several Demonic and Vampiric operations. They see me as a traitor and I am, but a traitor isn't always a bad thing. For instance would you think being a traitor to the Nazi party was a bad thing?"
"Why are you a traitor though? I mean I'm sure I'll appreciate it tonight, if what you're saying is true, but."
"It's a long story, and not one that I want to see in print so lets just leave it at that. You don't have any reason to trust me, but I think you can see that Vandal has an interest in you, and I'm your best bet of getting out of her in one piece. You got that."

"Yes I understand, but if you'll just tell me the spell to unlock that eh Demon web browser."
"No after tonight you steer clear of the supernatural."
"The only reason I moved here in the first place was to learn more about the supernatural."
"It's not my fault you made a stupid decision. I my 200 or so years on this planet I've know two kinds of people who know about the Supernatural. People who go on to be great heroes, battling the forces of darkness and saving the world, and idiots who get themselves killed because they don't know when to pull back. I don't know you, but the fact that you'd already come here when you don't even know there are different types of Vampires tells me you're the latter."
The Demons at the bar were getting restless. They had clearly also rumbled David's not so clever little ruse.

"Come on, I can't stop you getting killed another night, but I can get you out here now" Erasmus said as he dragged David away.
To Be Continued. 

Based on R Chetwynd Hayes classic novel of the same name, the Monster Club follows Gorgons, a bar where Vampires, Demons, Werewolves, Zombies and Ghosts can relax and have a nice time and the lives of its most frequent patrons, such as the Vampire Erasmus and the Shadmock Reece.

I dressed in my smoky red dress which hugged my bodice perfectly. The sleeves were long which had some different patterns at the hem. The dress was beautiful and it made me gorgeous in it. I wore my black wedge which had some stony particles on the top that was used to form love. I put on my black lengthy cape which compliments my smoky red dress. I went out of the room not without carrying my handbag along with me which filled with my purse, keys, Atm and my ID cards.

I opened the door and saw Abdulrahman had changed his outfits, he put on a black turtled neck polo which hugged his perfect chest. His V-line showed clearly with his scripture abs and his flexible muscles. His blue tailored pant reaching his cnemis. The glasses he put on added more to his beauty. Men with glasses were cool. He parked the car at the front of the house while he was jiggling the car key. 

"Do you like what you see babe" he winked at me while I smiled in return.

He opened the front door for me, I entered gently and he pecked me before going to his side. He ignited the engine to life, he helped me with my seat belt not after stealing another kiss from me.

"We are we going" I voiced out, looking outside the window. The October breeze was coming in softly.

"We are going to a restaurant after that we will think of what to do" he responded, glancing at me.

He parked at the parking slot, opening the door for me like the gentleman he was. He held my right hand to his lips and kissed it before pulling me inside with him. He talked with the waiter and he said we should follow him. He took us to a reserved area at the top. It was different from the one downstairs. 

Abdulrahman pulled out the booth for me to sit while I awed at him.

He sat in his own booth, taking the menu book to order. I took mine also, peeking through it to stare at him. He changed tonight because his beard looked fuller and blacker than I remembered. Men with beard were super cool and hot.

The waiter served us with snacks before giving us what we ordered. I ordered fried rice, cream salad and chicken while he ordered fried rice and chicken. A few minutes after, the waiter cake with what we ordered. I said my bismillah quick and devoured the food. As the food touched my taste bud, I savoured the moment while moaning in delight. The food was superb. After I was done with eating and drank the fruit wine, I burped loudly before using my hand to clamp my mouth shut. Abdulrahman smiled softly at me, "is okay S, it is only you and I here" he said wiping his mouth with the napkin. He leaned to me and brought his hand to my lips to clean the cream. He put his hand that he used to clean my lips to his mouth licking it and hummed, "it tasted better on you" he grinned mischievously while I shook my head.

The waiter came and packed the used plant and brought the dessert along with him.

"Thanks for the date Ruhii" I smiled at him.

"This is nothing S, the date just begins" he spoke with enthusiasm.

"S, I love you so much. Everyday your love continues to grow in my heart. You complete me. I'm a blessed man having you as a wife" he admitted, taking my hand under the table.

"I love you too sweetheart" I chocked on my tears, "you complete me also. Please do not let me go" I voiced out my biggest fear. Letting go.

"I would never dream of it" he announced. He stood up, helping with me stand up. His snaked his arm around me, pushing me closer to him. He murmured some sweet words to me before his lips came crashing down with mine, making me released a blissful sigh.

~~~

He put the bills on the table and we left the restaurant. He drove to an amusement park.

Who didn't like the amusement park? I became a child again. I couldn't wait to drive the roller-coaster.

He paid for our tickets while I went to buy ice-cream for both of us.

We entered there, giving the tickets to the bouncer at the door. I jumped excitedly like a baby given a present. The place was crowdy. Some couples were holding arms, some with their child or children. I felt a pang of hurt.

Abdullah wasn't here

What would he be doing now

Was he playing

Was he missing me also

Was he crying? Millions of questions were flowing through me without an answer.

Abdulrahman sensed my discomfort and came to be, "don't you like it" he asked concernedly.

I shook my head and replied dejectedly, "I love it but my son".

"Oh?"

"I don't know whether he is happy there or he is..." I trailed off.

"Nothing would happen to him S, he is safe" he comforted me.

"See," he said pointing to a game played by rolling a ball down an alley and trying to knock over a triangular group of ten pins; ten-pin bowling. Some couples were playing. I tugged his hand telling him to let's go.

"New set," a man with the hat said.

I and Abdulrahman stood in beside each other on our line when the other opponent stood on theirs.

Abdulrahman rolled his sleeves up, flexing his arms before throwing the ball, the ball hit none while I pouted my lips. Well, it was not the end. Our opponents played, they hit the bottles and all fell. Everyone screamed in happiness. Our opponents smirked at us. Arrogant much! 

"If you win sweetheart" I breathed softly on his ear, "when we get home, I'm gonna kiss you the hundredth time," I said sultrily. I thought that triggered him. After promising him, the ball he threw next hit all. We won the game and was given bars of chocolate. I squealed and hugged him while he swirled me around. 

"Now to the merry go round" I giggled loudly but the rain used that moment to showed it presence. The sky was not even cloudy or dark. 

Our fun was cut short. He carried me bride style outside. "Wait here S, lemme go drive the car," he said and left me under the shade because of the rain. I loved the rain to let it pour all it might without showering me. I went inside the rain, playing and laughing around. 

My laughter and jumping around was stopped by the image of a person walking to me. 

I stood still where I was, looking at him with fear. I wanted to run but the fear I was feeling made me frozen in my position. Abdulrahman came to me and shook me from my hypnosis but I was not because the fear in me was greater. I knew he didn't see who I saw, who was coming but I knew he was coming for me. My vocal cord couldn't work.

"What of me?" his shaky voice broke me to the core. 

"I don't know but I know Allah will give you your own spouse. Someone that will love you more than I will ever love you. Someone that will never leave you. Your joy and happiness. She'll be your queen and you will be her king." I sobbed profusely. 

"No" he shook his head, "I can't agree to this, you are my wife" he growled. 

"Yeah, I know. I was your wife before but now I'm my husband's wife. And if you really love me as you said, you will let me go because I've let you go a long time ago. If you really love someone, you will do anything or everything for his or her happiness even if it means you let go" I wrote and mouthed to my husband "let's go". 

My husband carried me out in bridal styles leaving him who was crouching on the floor crying his bleeding heart out.
