A giant tree popped up in the middle of the Atlantic ocean covering the world in a strange new radiation and because of it, people began to change.

First, there are the Chosen. These super humans have only slight physical changes and yet can manifest incredible powers.

Next, you have the Cursed. These humans have experienced large scale body changes which range from animal adaptations to simply grotesque body decomposition. Most are still normal and sane humans who attempt to adapt to life while being shunned by others. There are some however that have grown deranged and think themselves the rulers of the world.

Our MC lives a somewhat lonely life while sometimes being accompanied by his rather senile yet kind grandfather. He has no idea where his parents went after they dropped him off a few years ago, so he has no choice but to stay here. He lives by the idea that he should just be air and not be noticed in the slightest. All of this goes ok until things start changing and Laz starts getting dragged around in many different directions.

What is humanity? Why does it matter?

Welcome to a story of Gods, evolution, love, adult situations and basically bringing a bit of eastern fantasy to western civilization.
Hope you enjoy the ride.

(When the Pevensie children, Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy are sent out of London during World War II, they have no idea of the magical journey they are beginning. It tells the story of how these four children with the help of Aslan, the Great Lion, help defeat the White Witch who holds Narnia. The first of the children to make their way into Narnia is Lucy, the youngest.) {CHAPTER UPDATES; Every Mon, Wed, Fri}

On one certain day, when I leisurely drinking mango juice and oversaw the base development from my mansion garden, under the clear bright sky, Anna suddenly came to me, seemingly wanted to talk about something.
Anna, Upon arriving here and met with her twin sister Anni, her complexion started to change to be better, and became happier.
At the time at the Orphanage, she stressed a lot and seemingly thought about a lot of things inside her head.
'Maybe she just has some concerns about her twin sister situation at that time'
Anyway, after arriving here, she tries to fulfill the second condition, which was observing me from the time being before deciding if she really wants to follow me after.
In these past few days, she not only observed me but also observing this hidden base that was slowly being built by the people here. 
Even though there's still no high rise building being built right now, but most of the building that I requested to be built first was almost finished.
Anna seemed to amaze and awe when she saw the 4 engineer woman build the building at a fast speed and install the electricity as well as the plumbing in a skillful manner.
Like the usual first timer who visiting my base, she was really shocked and amazed after seeing people with an unusual engineering side job as well as the mysterious magic tool(from her perspective) that being used inside my hidden base.
After getting know to some of the non-combatant residents in my base, she seemed to understand slowly that all the strange things here were provided by me.
'I'm sorry, even though you will end up not choosing to work under me, I have to make sure you do not unveil all the thing here with some method, since you already see these secrets of mine…'
I already decided to give her freedom, but as expected, I'm not that naïve and showed her all my secrets recklessly without a backup plan, if some cases she will decide to not work under me.
Since Anni, her twin sister was already working under me, I'm sure I can silent and persuade her about not leaking about all the things here.
Anyway, let's back to the current situation.
With the sudden arrival of Anna who interrupting my leisure time, I decided to spare my time to hear her out.
[Sir Alex… I'm sorry for interrupting you]
[Um, no problem, please take a seat~]
Anna nods her head and pulls the chair before sitting in front of me.
 
She stares at me with a nervous expression as she hesitatingly to open her mouth and tries to speak.
Looking at her nervous appearance, I decided to open the conversation lightly to slightly ease the tension
[So, did you already adapt yourself living here?]
[A-ah… it's a good place, the people here always have a happy smile and a strong sense of belonging in this place. Especially the school, the children there get free education and place to play to spend their childhood inside a healthy environment, I'm very impressed at sir Alex. As expected, you're a benevolent person~]
[Hahaha~ you're exaggerating, like I said, I have my own plan by helping them. 
Hmm…
Looking at your expression from before, it seems you want to talk to me about something?]
[Umm….]
Anna lowers her head and hesitating for a while after hearing my question. 
She seems to struggle about something inside her mind before firming herself to convey her request.
[Sir Alex… if it's an inconvenience for you, could you help all the slum orphanage children to go to school at your place?]
Hearing her request, I quite understand why she suddenly praised me for building the school here before.
'This Anna, it seems she really loved children...'
'Anyway, I used to have the same intention when I saw the slum Orphanage. It will be good to nurture children and forged a sense of belonging to this place when they're young to create a loyal and strong individual that can work for me later'
'But, the problem is, that children have to stay here in my hidden base until they grew up to keep what inside my base to not leak out outside…'
I stopped thinking about this by myself and decided to discuss this with Anna.
[Anna, as you already know, this place is held all my secrets. I can grant you that request if you moved all the Orphanage children to live here. Of course, since you're the one who builds the Orphanage, I leave this decision to you]
Anna has a troubled expression after hearing me.
Yes, the problem was not just the Orphanage children.
But the Slum inhabitant children who still have their parents and come to play to the orphanage from time to time.
I could imagine, what will happen if the Orphanage in the slum area suddenly disappears, the children, as well as the single parent like Agatha, surely would find it hard if there's no place like an orphanage that had a daycare-like system.
Since the parents usually went working during the day, they had to take the children to the orphanage to make sure that their child is safe.
Anna, sure understand this.
Thus, she hesitated to agree about my condition directly as there's a lot of things to be considered to move all the Orphanage children here.
Not only that, by Anna disposition, she surely considered taking the Slum children to get a free education at my base too.
I'm 100% sure about it.
I'm waiting for her silently and give her time to think carefully before making her decision about this problem.
After a while, she seemingly gets a new idea as she probes that idea to me.
[Sir Alex, can you just take the slum people to work directly here? I'm sure they will be grateful to you]
[I can't do that. You know, for the time being, I can only let the people that 'guaranteed' to be trusted, residing this place. As for your situation, it's because of Anni that I let you stay here. that's why I can trust you for not leaking my secrets outside]
[Is that so…]
She lowers her head in defeat after hearing my reasoning.
Even so, she seems isn't giving up yet.
Anna starts to seriously think deeper to get a better option about letting the children get a free education here.
As she's still thinking in silence, all of a sudden, the sound of the vehicle slowly approaching the paved parking lot in front of my mansion.
Before long, a limousine car stops and parked there.
I can see one woman started getting off from the driver's seat and two women getting off from the back seat of the luxurious car, after.
The three women wearing a maid dress as they cheerfully conversing about their experience driving the car.
Yes, they are Al's battle maid trio.
After I successfully doing some reverse engineering with the vehicle, I decided to call the trio here, to learn how to drive first before giving the limousine that I will modify to Al later.
When I was doing reverse engineering, it's apparently not as hard as I thought.
With the help of the mechanical book about the machine as well as my reckless tinkering, torn apart the vehicle into pieces by pieces, I fastly learned how the car work before trying to change the gasoline power into magic power.
When I came into this part, it was quite challenging as it not as easy as the Teleportation Gate's knowledge that was already provided by the skill.
After experimenting for three days, I can get a grasp of it and use the Magic stone as the source of energy. 
Of course, I can't just shove it up barbarically into the vehicle machine.
I have to create and design the tools that could control the magic power usage inside the magic stone to make the vehicle not explode while consuming the magic power recklessly.
Anyway, after some trials and errors, I can now change the car into a magic carriage like the people of this world always called it before.
'It seems they already grasp and learn about how to drive, I just need modifying that Limousine before sending it to Al later'
As I thinking about these things, all of a sudden, Anna excitedly shouting her new idea at me
[Sir Alex, how if we used the magic carriage to take the children to the school directly, daily! 
I believe as long as you can set that the carriage to pass the teleportation gate with the children inside it, as well as design the carriage window to always became dark and cover the outside scenery, we can take the children into the school area only without showing the secret of your base!
As long as we were not let them go out of the school area, I believe your secret will remain hidden and unknown to them!]
Hearing her new idea, I became stunned.
For some reason, her idea reminds me of the school bus service from my previous world.
[It's a good idea…]
[Right?! I will discuss this school thing with the Slum resident and will convince them about sending their children here to get free education!]
[Umu, do as you wish~]
[Then, please excuse me~]
Anna hurriedly stood up before leaving like the wind excitedly to the Teleportation Gate direction.
For your information, it's not impossible to make the bus using the Teleportation gate within my knowledge.
As long as I can modify the space inside it to resist the Teleportation Gate twisted space with some Space Magic and branded the bus itself to get recognized by the Teleportation Gate, Anna's idea is doable.
'Sigh… it seems I have a new work to do…'
'Whatever, secure a youngling is important with the development of my base anyway~'
I stood up from my chair and stretched my body for a while.
'Let's work hard experimenting with a new thing today too~'


"Whaa--- I can order Mcdonalds in isekai ?!! With this i can still eat junkfood without problem in the middle of the jungle mwahahahahah! what is dry meat ?! i dont need it !!"

She also made her will on which the land she bought and 20 crores in her account is given to chinu,  Radhika tries to convince her because Aditi ones get betrayed and the financial gap is also the reason of arguments, and if Mahendra decided to break the marriage he still has fear to losing money, but Aditi tells her that some people accused her wrongly so this way she can shut their mouth, Aditi also has another reason, humans are complicated, in future if she gets greedy or chinu get greedy or someone manipulates Mihir then children might hate them, especially Mahendra, she doesn't want this, she knows that even if he doesn't show he loves children so much after that Aditi stand up and hug Radhika and said thank you, Radhika gets surprised, she doesn't know why Aditi saying thank you, but she accepted it, after that, they bid goodbye to her.

"Yes I will marry you, Iwant you, and I want you as a normal wife, and for chinu, he is also my son, I hope you remember this, my grandpa once said " if your children are capable then you don't need to worry about them, and if they are not capable then you also don't need to worry about them"  I understand you have fear but show little trust in me," Mahendra said in a sad tone.
"I trust you, I just don't want to listen that I marry you for money so, sorry," Aditi said while standing her knees are hurting.
"Hmm, and what about this will?" Mahendra also stands up.
"will? oh, nothing It just.....for future" Aditi stammered while talking.
"Is there anything you are hiding Aditi?" Mahendra said while coming closer to her.
"no, no" Aditi tries to avoid his eyesight and starts going back.
"really?"
"yup"
"if there is anything you can tell me directly, I may not help you but I will share the burden with you" 
"Okay," Aditi said, he doesn't take it seriously but in future, this man is gonna make his word true.

It was the year 2046. In the distant and faraway planet or Yr lived a lonely alien named Ickapoo. It had no friends as all its species had been vanquished from a meteor storm. In its solitude and misery it pined for a companion.
Yr was a bare and inhospitable planet. With winds blowing at 150 km an hour, it was virtually impossible to see past the blizzard and storm. Ickapoo yearned for friends and company. Many a time he fiddled with his transistor radio, sending out messages and hoping for a response. He sent fire launchers and rockets into space, hoping that some space traveler would find out about his existence. Ickapoo was an alienated alien. In the same way humans wondered whether we were the only species to inhabit the universe, Ickapoo felt estranged and isolated from the rest of the cosmos.  Join Ickapoo on his escapades across galaxies and worlds in search of company.

12th April 1442
It was 2 days away from the twin's first birthday and the Macleod Coliseum seemed to be nearly ready for us to have a round of inspection and to finalise its launch date and grand opening. 

Although the Coliseum could be clearly seen from all sides, there were gantries that prevent the citizens to gain unlawful entries into the Coliseum before it was properly launched. Besides, we would not want the citizens to get so excited too early, am I right? 

The helpers were busy sweeping the bleachers free from wood chips and shaving from the planers that some of the workers had used on the planks of wood that was used as the seats of the bleachers. 

The workers made sure the planks of wood were free from burrs and splinters that might harm the spectators. As the area was slowly and meticulously inspected by the helpers, each held chalk in their hands and they marked those surfaces that need to be planed once more. 

The workers walked the grounds, ensuring that everything was in proper order before the option to launch the opening of the Macleod Coliseum would be announced.

"Finally, there would be a perfect ground for the citizens to watch the game in the best setting ever. This idea of having a kind of 'U' shaped sporting arena was pretty a welcoming idea after all."

"So, we would have a sporting event throughout the whole year, you mean, Your Majesty?"

Frank was excited as well since its the first time he had seen such a huge structure being built just for entertainment purposes. Besides, I was referring it to the drawings of some of the examples they were found in the reference journals that was brought back by Eagle. 

If I do not have such reference journals, I don't think I would have any knowledge on the art of war, the sporting events during the ancient times and also the design of the coliseum. 

It would not be something with lots of marbled columns and such but a simplified version based on the engineers' train of ideas.

"Your Majesty, as for those boxing and wrestling events, your idea was to have benches placed bear the rings so that the citizens were able to watch the matches up close?"

"Wow... I really loved the idea a lot since the distance from the nearest bleachers would still be too far away for the spectators to view perfectly, don't you think so?"

"Aye, my good man... Of course, it would, unless the spectators became the participants themselves. Hahaha."

I joked for some time with Ben and Frank as the workers had rectified the faults along the bleachers and made the wooden planks as smooth as possible. It would be months before the workers come again to rectify the faults due to wear and tear.

"Your Majesty, so when would you be announcing the grand opening? Would it be on both the Prince's and Princess' birthday?"

Old Jack sidled up next to us after he had settled with some of his work and can't help but admire the Magnifique of the coliseum.

"Definitely, Old Jack... Those two are considered as your grandchildren so this coliseum is to honour in their name as well."

I replied as Heather soon arrived with the stroller and the bubbly twins in them. I held Amy up in my arms while Old Jack bounded Jay-R in his as both twins looked at the sporting arena before them and watching the men go about their work.

We watched on as I rambled on to Amy about the coliseum where there would be lots of sporting event lined up each week for the community to observe and also to cheer for their favourite athlete or teams.

Amy was simply cooing in my arms as she blinked and nodded as if she understood every single word I had said to her.

I kissed both twins as I placed them back in the stroller and secured the sash around their waist as Heather wheeled them back to the courtyard where the twins once again were exposed to the elements.

In this way, it would be their way as interactions with the public even though they are being wheeled in their strollers.

There were some children who were chasing after a blown-up pig's bladder and the screaming, cheering children caught the eyes of the twins as they watched the happenings around them and were clapping their dainty little hands together as if they were giving some moral support to the children.

It won't be long, my dear children where you would be joining the rest of the children to school and to play.

I excused myself and followed Heather along as we went to the gazebo next to the school where we set the stroller aside and placed the children on our laps as they watched the fountain that was set in the centre.

The heat in the water was regulated so that it would not get frozen in winter and there was all kind of fish swimming amidst the aquatic plants. Both twins on our laps sat up and reached out to touch the water as they splashed happily, ending up being slightly soaked in the process.

"Our babies would turn a year old ** two days time, dear. The Macleod Coliseum would be announced open on that day itself, eh? So what kind of sporting event are you trying to showcase?"

Heather asked with anticipated eyes as she was also an avid spectator for such sports. I don't think I would be having a wrestling match soon as I would end up with bruises after a single match. Also, I'm sure the twins would pick up her habits and they both would start wrestling behind our backs...!

Maybe a 'folk football' match instead and played by children?

This I would announce during the night conference later as I had not done so in quite a while and so announce I did.

I had gotten Samuel to be the town messenger as he announces the news of a night conference after dinner. Everyone had passed the message around and after dinner at their homes or at the new Gracehaven's Greasy Spoon, throngs of citizen came over to the town Square as they listened to my announcement.

"Please assemble your children who were kicking the blown-up pig's bladder so we would be making two teams of 7 players for the launch of our Macleod Coliseum."

"Coloured tabards would be issued to differentiate the two teams and they would play a round of 15 minutes each."

"If we have more than enough children, we would, therefore, make 4 teams of 7 players each and they would be playing just as a demo match against one another."

"It's a formality for the opening of the Macleod Coliseum and also to celebrate the one year of our twins."

The citizens clapped their hands and cheered loudly. It had been some months since they had an event and they welcomed the idea of having a friendly match of 'folk football' in 2 days time.

They immediately enrolled the excited children as the pioneers helped to gather their names. As we had more than enough names, a total of 6 teams could be assembled and I made up my mind to away the winning team in a round-robin knockout system to have prize money of 14 silvers.

That's 2 silvers each per player for the winning team.

When Leila arrived in Lebanon in early 2017, her family settled in a rural area of Beqaa that was similar to their hometown in Syria.
The family rented a small house and soon became friends with their Lebanese neighbours, the Sana family. The two households soon became inseparable.
All the children in Leila's family had dropped out of school. Leila's father hadn't allowed his daughter to resume her education ever since she had turned twelve, while her elementary school-age brothers Saad and Hassan had not returned to study since their school in Syria had been destroyed by shelling.
Their new neighbor, Mrs Sana, urged Leila's mother to enroll Leila and her brothers in school. Her own children went to the local school, including her daughter who was about Leila's age.
Tears welled up in Leila's blue eyes every morning when she saw her neighbours going to school. She would sit on the doorstep and gaze at them until they were out of sight.
Leila's mother began to warm to the idea of enrolling her children in school. She tried to convince her husband to accept the idea, especially since tuition was free.
Leila's father Abu Saad was an educated man with a history a degree from the university of Damascus. In Syria he had been a state employee and had made a decent living until the war reached their town.
The parents had a long conversation about the idea of enrolling their children in school in a new country. The father finally agreed to allow all of them to resume their studies. The children were overjoyed and their mother bought them some basic school necessities with money she had saved.
Leila couldn't fall asleep the night before she was to return to school. She kept looking at her new notebooks, pens and scented rubbers and dreaming of her first day at school.
Leila woke up unusually early the next morning. She got dressed and excitedly prepared her brothers for school too, even though – as with all Syrian refugee children in Lebanon – their program of classes would not start until the afternoon.
When it was finally time to head out, she remembered how she used to gaze at her neighbors when they walked to school each morning and smiled. As she left with her brothers, she felt it was a small step towards regaining what the war had robbed from her.
Now Leila and her brothers are enrolled in one of the Lebanese public schools that are supported by the United Nations Educational Program for Syrian Refugees, and Leila is catching up on her lost education.

Chen Feng Mian claps her hands together with a smile and says "Thank you very much for your help. As it is our first project, we will be in your care." She stands up and bows once more and Ye Han does the same.
Seeing how the children act, Ye Mu and Ye Heng can't help but feel overwhelmed and stand to bow as well and say "We shall be in your care as well Young Master, Young Miss." Unconsciously the aides can't help but take their work with the two more seriously once they all sit down.
Now updated on what they have on hand, Ye Han commences the meeting once more. He and Chen Feng Mian present their ideas to the aides. They proceed to compare and analyze both ideas. Taking a glimpse at the aides, Chen Feng Mian can't help but hide a little smirk. They've finally brought everyone to the same page. 
Ye Han envisions the orphanage as a place for the students to stay and be fed. They would provide lodging and food for the orphans until they reach the age of 12 which is the age when children start their apprenticeships. During their time in the orphanage, there would be adults to supervise and help the children.
Chen Feng Mian has a similar idea for the orphanage though a bit more detailed. In addition to providing lodging and food for the orphans, they would grow their own vegetables and raise some life stock to the side. The money they would be saving and perhaps earning would in turn be invested in the children's education. 
Although it's an ancient world, the literacy rate of Glory City was quite high. However there were no public schools whoever wanted to learn how to read and write would have to pay money to attend either an academy or some tutoring. 
Often big families would have their own family school in which they educate their children. Otherwise they were also some scholars who would earn some money by the side by teaching the children in the neighborhood.
The idea of providing basic education (learning how to read and write as well as basic mathematics) to the orphans seemed foreign to Ye Heng, Ye Mu and Ye Han. To Ye Heng and Ye Mu, it was unnecessary to provide the orphans with more than necessary. A roof over the head and a full stomach seemed already generous enough to them. Even Ye Han's idea of adult supervision seemed overly generous to them. Nevermind Chen Feng Mian's idea.
To Ye Han however it was a long forgotten dream. As a former orphan himself, he was envious whenever he saw older children showing off their knowledge. He was able to learn some characters before his adoption due to him sneakingly eavesdropping a tutoring session. That was something orphans would often do in order to learn even a bit.
Ye Mu wanted to oppose the notion of Chen Feng Mian. "The money they would earn should be set to the side for emergencies and to one day make the orphanage self sufficient without funds from the City Lord Manor. An education for the orphans seems like an unnecessary expenditure that will lead to nowhere. Rather keeping the money for future seems like a better idea."
Chen Feng Mian didn't want to give up and said "I believe by educating the orphans, we would be improving their chances in the future and they wouldn't have to resort to stealing and thus would be more stable in the future. This would result in there being less orphans in 20 years time. Futhermore it wouldn't be an excessive expenditure if they are being taught by their caretakers. We would have to pay the caretakers more but we wouldn't need hire any additional people. What do you think Ye Han?"
Ye Han was suddenly brought back from his thoughts and looked back and forth between Chen Feng Mian and the aides. Both parties were looking at him for support. He understood why the aides were against educating the orphans as the funds could instead be used by the orphanage to ensure its sustainability. 
However Chen Feng Mian's idealistic idea just wouldn't leave his mind. It would be fulfilling his past dream and the dream of an orphan out there. The fear of not understanding the world around him as an orphan still haunted his dreams. He was well aware of how other people would use the illiteracy of orphans against them on different levels. How not being able to read would stigmatize them whenever they wanted to help. How older orphans would get exploited due to their illiteracy.
With that in mind, Ye Han stood firmly at Chen Feng Mian's side. "If we can afford to educate the orphans, I don't see any fault in the notion."
And so the discussion went on and on, the only break they took was during lunch time. When it was late afternoon, the aides excused themselves and left. They would meet once more in a week time after the aides have calculated their budget for the building or land of the orphanage and have already searched around for them.
As they were returning to their other duties, they couldn't believe that the ones they were discussing this topic with were children. During their meeting, everyone was serious and deeply engaged that they forgot their ages. Even Chen Feng Mian lost her usual child like manner. If they were the City Lord and wife, then Glory City would be in good hands.
Left alone and completely exhausted, Chen Feng Mian and Ye Han couldn't help but sigh in relief temporarily forgetting the manners that had been hammered into them. Hearing each other sigh loudly and seeing the other completely exhausted and not sitting in a proper manner, they couldn't help but laugh loudly like the children they are.
"All those lessons we had to take are finally paying off." Chen Feng Mian said after a long laugh.
Ye Han couldn't help but nod in exhaustion "I will definitely pay more attentions to them in future."
Chen Feng Mian let out a "Me too" and the room was silent once more. It was a comfortable silence that left both satisfied and relaxed. 
After a while, Ye Han sincerely complimented Chen Feng Mian with a slight blush"You did really well today. You brought in great ideas. I hadn't even thought about asking them for help and was completely nervous at the beginning. I thought we would have to decide and manage everything on our own. For that I want to thank you."
Hearing the sincerity in his compliment, Chen Feng Mian didn't hesitate to reply "You are welcome. I was also nervous and then I remembered that they were here to help us. You did great as well. You started leading the meeting after I asked them that question. You also agreed with my idea even though they were against it. Thank you."
The small silence that followed after her thank you was once again interrupted by laughter.
In a joking mood now, Ye Han asked "Do you think this how our future will look like? You know... attending meetings together, working on projects together and siding against the aides?"
Chen Feng Mian was stunned by his question and remembered that they are to wed in the future. Hiding to hide how stunned she was by the question, she jokingly replied with a smile "Unless you get tired of me, that's how our future will look like. Sitting in a room exhausted and forgetting all manners."
Ye Han genuinely replied "I won't get tired of you after all you are my partner."
After joking around some more and laughing, it was time for Chen Feng Mian to leave. Sitting in her carriage, Chen Feng Mian remembered how close and genuine Ye Han was to her. Compared to the previous day, when he was treating her like a child, he was treating her like an equal and most importantly a friend today. The difference was so stark it was hard to believe that it was just two days.
However Chen Feng Mian didn't doubt that Ye Han would most probably return to the usual, the next time they meet. Nevertheless Chen Feng Mian had now created her personal side quest - to get close to Ye Han.

Ji Dynasty. 
After lunch, Zhao Ming insisted on taking a walk in the garden. She has eaten too much, so she wanted to take a walk to digest the food, otherwise she will get fat. 
Ji Cheng and Wen Ru ended up accompanying her for a walk. 
" Brother Wen, how many people work here ?" Zhao Ming asks Wen Ru as she was taking a walk with her hands behind and walking casually. 
This is not only a shop where they sell items but they make items themselves. So they need more people for it. 
But she didn't see many people working here. 
Zhao Ming was humming while walking. Her walk was not at all elegant. 
With Ji Cheng, she doesn't need to pretend to be elegant because he has seen her clumsy side so much that she doesn't even care anymore. 
 Ji Cheng doesn't react to her actions and does not mind her clumsiness either. 
Among all the people in this world, Zhao Ming feels more comfortable with Wen Ru and Ji Cheng. Wen Xu and Xiao Li make her feel nauseous. 
" Workers? Ahmm….around 22, 12 men and 10 women," he said while walking. 
He remembered the exact numbers because only today he was discussing their pay, so he remembered it clearly. 
Zhao Ming stopped in her steps and looked at him, " Really?" 
She was surprised when she heard his words. Because there were not many people in the pavilion at this moment. Only a few are working, so where are the rest of the employees? 
"Hmm. Women are responsible for making the items while men gather the raw material from the forest," he said casually. 
" And a few do the daily chores of the pavilion." 
"But just now I have checked the warehouse and only a few women were working. Where are the other workers?" she was confused because there are very few people that she can see. 
" Ah, some workers have gone to the forest to collect the wood and buy the beads from the market while some women are making items in the warehouse with the spare material. '' Wen Ru replied as he looked at Zhao Ming's curious expressions. 
" Oh. But what about the women? There were only a few women in the warehouse at the moment who are working. You said there are 10 women but there are only 4 women in the warehouse. " 
" Why are they not working?" 
Wen Ru looked at Zhao Ming hearing her questions and replied, " Others went home since its afternoon time and they have children at home. The other woman has young children, so they have to go back to take care of them. Don't worry, they will come in a while. " 
Many women tend to go back in the afternoon because their children are alone at home. So he has allowed them to go back in the afternoon and come back later. 
He is not like his father and runs the Royal Brush on his own rules. This place was much better than others because Wen Ru is very kind-hearted and generous. 
Zhao Ming was astounded seeing the working culture of Royal Brush. Brother Wen Ru is too cool. 
She has expected a strict working culture like the Palace, but here workers have more freedom than anyone else. 
However, this was also the reason that the shop was not doing well. His idea is good but his managing skills are not up to the mark. 
Zhao Ming sighed when she realized that Brother Wen is such a softie. He is taking losses for the sake of others. 
" Brother Wen, why don't you make a room in the pavilion where their children can play and rest. This way, those women won't need to go anywhere. They can take care of their children and work at the same time." 
" It will save the time that they spend going back and forth. They can work comfortably while looking after their children," she suggested that they save time and this way, they can make more products in the time which they used to waste before. 
Ji Cheng and Wen Ru stopped in their steps when they heard Zhao Ming's words. 
Her idea was indeed good. This way those women workers will be able to more efficiently and without worry. 
This will save so much of their time. 
" Consort Zhao Ming, have you studied about business before?" Ji Cheng asked her as he was confused about how she can understand the problems and processes of business. 
She even managed to catch the swindling done by Yu Kang. 
He was wondering if she has learned the business from her father as well. 
Because she was already an exception since she has learned medicine from her father. 
Normally, the women in Ji Dynasty were taught the household chores from childhood, nor. How to be a filial wife? These were the training that women were given. 
But how can she know about business? Even the women from noble families were not allowed to learn about business. 
Wen Ru glanced at Zhao Ming with curiosity. He wanted to know how she could give better ideas that never occurred to him. 
He has not only learned about business from his master but also goes to nearby countries for trade dealings. 
However, this idea never occurred to him. 
But Zhao Ming came out of the palace only today, but her ideas were much more interesting and better. 
Zhao Ming was caught off guard when Ji Cheng asked her this question. She pursed her lips and was wondering what excuse she could give him. 
Because the idea she gave him was normal for her. In her time, many offices started to make a playroom for the children of working parents. 
Not only women but working but single parents can take care of their children this way. 
This way those working women can work without worry about their children and they will work more efficiently in return. 
" Ahm… I never learned about business before. It just… I thought that those women must be worried about their children and if their children were in front of their eyes, then they won't be worried." 
" I was just..thinking from the perspective of a woman? Yeah. Woman. " Zhao Ming said while thinking of a strong excuse. 
She became confident seeing their expressions when they started to believe her words. 
" Oh. " Ji Cheng nodded when he heard Zhao Ming's words. 
Ji Cheng didn't say anything like always and nodded his head as he heard Zhao Ming's words. 
-_-
Zhao Ming was speechless again because she makes excuses by racking her brain and he gives a single word response. 
' Is this fair?'

He stood beside her bed and stared at her face in wonder if it’s real. A smile appeared on his lips seeing her fluttering eyelashes as she was waking up. However, her reaction was different than what he had expected.


“ Pak”


He stared at her in shock as he covering his face with his palm. Did she just slap him?

Zhao Ming's mouth was open in pure terror when she realized what she just did. She slapped the Emperor. The cruel-infamous Emperor of Ji Dynasty?

‘ Am I going to die again? I just came to this world, do I have to die again?’ 

….

She was the Empress of the Ji Dynasty, but in name only. Never been treated or respected as the Empress, and witnessing the worst of the palace, the life gave her another chance to shine as who she is. 
One day when she opened her eyes, she found her in unfamiliar surroundings. The world was full of people using strange items and in a world that was a world apart from hers.  
Will the Empress of Ji Dynasty be able to survive in this competitive world?


**

She was the wife of the richest businessman in the country with the reputation of nothing but trash. She was labeled as a rebellious brat, shameless lazy woman. When she opened her eyes one day, she found herself in some strange world.


Holy Sh *t! 


She became the Empress of the Ji Dynasty. Can the rebellious, shameless lazy woman adjust to the cruel, strict palace world? Will she change or change the world instead? 


 Can the Emperor get used to her being proactive in every single thing? Even in bed? The Emperor dotes on his wife to the point that she feels tired, how can a man be this cute? It’s illegal for men to be this cute.

…

She pushed him on the bed and sat on his body while looking at him with her tempting eyes.

“ Zhao Ming, what..what are you doing?” 

“ Shh...Your Majesty, you just need to relax. I will do all the work.” She leaned in and sealed his lips with his moist lips making him crazy for her even more.

Thank you

Truth be told, I was extremely nervous about leaving the dungeon. I had no idea what was out there, had no idea what it looked like, what it smelt like, but I could take a guess based on what I saw when I customized the entrance, and what monsters and animals were lured here.
Guessing from there, I would say that the dungeon was within a forest, and probably has a human settlement nearby thanks to the human, and demi-human (I'm calling them demis' for now since I still had no idea how to refer to them) that trespassed into my dungeon.
With great hesitation, I took the first step outside the dungeon, bidding a brief farewell to the monkeys I left behind for defending our home.
"Boss strong, boss beat up monsters fast," Chia exclaimed beside me as she followed. I ignored her for the most part. She kept on praising me, putting in a high pedestal like I was some god. To be fair though, I did create them, so that sentiment could be understood.
Doesn't mean I like it though. I like living my life in the middle, thank you very much. I like playing games, I don't care about money, except if its about buying the latest gaming console or desktop, as well as necessary stuff like food, water, housing, and clothes. I don't like to be objectified, hence why I somewhat pity idols and celebrities who deal with this crap on a daily basis.
Anyway, as we traveled along, no set destination in mind, we came across a group of goblins looking distressed and scared. Further investigation showed that they were incredibly thin and struggled to even stand upright. Some of them were even naked, showing their genitalia for all the world to see.
Getting an idea, I approached the group of goblins which numbered 8. Chia looked at me funny, but seeing that I was the boss, never judged my actions.
Noticing an approaching presence, the goblins looked at my direction, then trembled in fear as their sights basked upon the hugeness of my black, hairy body within the suit of armor. They tried to move away, but their weak bodies made it difficult and downright impossible to run, so they just stood there, awaiting their demise.
I sighed, have they never seen a gorilla before? They were considered gentle giants, but judging by their expressions, a gorilla is unknown to them. I gave a gesture towards the goblins that was considered the universal sign of non-violence.
Raising my hands up in the air, I stopped a few feet away, staring at each of their eyes with no malice. The goblins looked at me confused, before one of them decided to approach. It was a short goblin, but with more scars and wrinkled, an old one probably. It then spoke to me, but their language was lost to me.
I made a sudden gesture, spooking all of them for a moment before they realized that I was trying to convey that I had no idea what their representative was saying. The old goblin nodded and looked at me perplexed.
Is there anything I can use to translate languages? Lemme check the Market… Umm, can I even use the Dungeon Menu out of the dungeon?
After a few seconds of waiting, I gave up. It seems that the Dungeon Menu can only be opened within the dungeon. Since I had an inventory, in which I almost never used since I held so little items, I grabbed a few fruits, surprising the goblin group as they drooled over the food I took out of thin air. Apparently, even Chia looked at me surprised, first time seeing my inventory, probably…
I gave the fruits to the old goblin, who slowly approached and took the fruits with shaking hands, nervous that I may decide to kill it then and there. A few moments later, the goblin group were feasting upon the fruits with great gusto. They were extremely hungry, it seems.
The old goblin then approached me, its wariness now completely gone, then prostrated itself before me, which even the other goblins followed. Chia looked amused, and joyful that her boss was being given the right respect from other monsters.
I tapped the prostrating head of the old goblin, which prompted him to look up. I then gestured for him and his group to follow Chia.
"Chia, guide them to the dungeon," I commanded, in which Chia nodded. "Have them settle in the first room. Make them new defenders."
Chia grinned and grunted, "Understood, boss. Guide green men to home, make defenders."
Chia then went back to the dungeon, the goblins following her lead. Once they were out of sight, I continued with my aimless wandering. Since I have the stone to instantly return me to the dungeon, no matter where I go, it won't matter since I'll be able to teleport back in an instant.
Moving through the forest, I have a certain feeling that a lot of animals and monsters are avoiding me. Their instincts probably. I mean, what would you do if you saw a giant in full armor moving through the forest like it owned the place. Sure, some monsters tried to fight me, but I dealt with them instead, blood covering the end of my giant club which was just about to break.
An hour of wandering later, I found myself in a clearing, a flower field planted dead center. I climbed a tree to get a good view, and within my sights, I saw a pair of children frolicking about. One female, another male. It seems they were having fun. I reminisced the time of my childhood… Ah… good times… Do anything you want to do without repercussions since adults think you were too immature to think.
Fun fact, children should be taught at an early age as soon as possible, experience taught me this, and lemme tell you, it was not pretty. If you want a child to be responsible the moment he reaches a particular age, for god's sake, teach them properly.
I ended my rambling when I saw two figures stalking toward the children. They wore black cloaks, completely hiding their visages. The children still haven't noticed, and when they did, the both of them cowered in fear, hugging themselves close to one another. The cloaked men did not stop, and instead sprinted towards the fear-stricken children.
I couldn't just watch. I may have killed monsters, ordered my summons to kill humans, and killed monsters, but some lines should never be crossed.
Such as assaulting children.
I roared, grabbing the attention of all of them within the clearing, the two cloaked men stopping their sprinting and looking at the direction where the roar came from. When they saw me, the both of them stepped back a pace, while the children just cowered even further.
Birds flew, startled by the sudden booming voice, and I leapt down, landing at the ground with a heavy thud, dust scattering from the heavy impact. I then grabbed the club from my inventory and glared at the two cloaked men.
They were still frozen in place, and not looking a gift horse in the mouth, proceeded to bury them in a sinkhole. One of them was able to snap out of it early, but the other, not so much. He fell waist deep into the ground. At that moment, I moved, running faster than I have ever done so in my life. I hefted the club and gave one last glare at the stuck cloaked man, looking at me with fear and terror.
I slammed the club on him hard, head caving in, then proceeded to lodge itself inside his own body, before being smashed into a pulp. Blood scattering all over the place, dying it in its color. The flowers once a beautiful color of rainbow, now stained a bright red due to the blood covering them.
I looked around, but the other cloaked man left before I could catch him. I sighed, then looked at the two children who were still cowering in fear. I approached them and the two of them crawled away, using whatever strength they had left to get away from me.
I grabbed fruits from my inventory and walked closer. Once close enough, I offered the fruits, in which the children looked at it apprehensively. They even gave me the stink eye, children, am I right?
We stayed like that for a few moments, before one of the children, the male one, took my offer and took the fruit, his friend shouting at him with some language I have no idea about. The boy looked at me, and I gave the most friendly smile I could, which creeped the both of them. Understandable.
He looked at the fruit one more time, before taking a bite hesitantly. His eyes widened and he ate the fruit with gusto. The girl looking at the boy with concerned eyes. The boy shared the fruit, in which the girl took a tiny nibble, then those nibbles became more pronounced bites.
I flashed a genuine smile. It's been so long since I could smile at something with genuine feelings behind it… When was the last time I smiled like this… Maybe before high school?
Anyway, once they finished the fruit, the both of them looked at me. I took more fruits from my inventory and gave it to them. I have a limitless supply anyway, might as well share it. They children were eating the fruits happily, which then made me smile more. I sat on my behind as the two children proceeded to ravage the supply of fruit I had stocked in my inventory.
It was at that moment a shriek of a woman caught my ears. I then turned my gaze into the direction where I heard the shriek, and what I saw was a woman in maid clothing looking at me with horrified eyes, accompanied by what seemed to be an armored man.
… Great, more misunderstandings… Fuck my life…

Ordinary day, ordinary life, that is until, I found myself getting stabbed to death by my fellow student for reasons unknown to me. Then some kind of holographic window prompting me to reincarnate appeared while I was busy drifting through the infinite darkness of the void. Of course, I pressed yes, it’s boring here, then found myself to be a dungeon master… As a fucking monkey no less…
