Abhi looked at her and asked with an  innocent expression "Stomach cramps ?, but you were fine during the last few months."

She smiled to see his cute face and replied "It's because I slept in Preeti's room during that time and you didn't get to see me then".

Then he realised why she slept in Preeti's room for a few days every month. He thought that she wanted to stay with her sister but he had no idea that she had other reason for doing so.

He removed his footwear and laid on the bed leisurely and she stood there looking at him. He smiled and said "It's okay, I am fine and I am already used to sleeping with you now that I can't sleep without you by my side".

He then pulled her on to the bed and she smiled at him. She said to him "I want to go buy some stuff tomorrow ".

"You want to buy something?, Should I come with you ?". He asked her and she replied "No, I will go alone, I just want to go to the supermarket which is at the end of our street to buy some regular necessities and stuff".

He thought for a second and as if he understood something, he got up from the bed and went to the wardrobe and took out a pack of sanitary pads from inside and asked showing it to her "You want these".

Shriya was shocked that she was completely speechless. When she moved to the condo she was in a hurry and forgot to bring sanitary pads with her and she had only two in her college bag. She decided to go buy them but she forgot about them completely after the rally incident and she was at home all day wuth Abhi.

 She wanted to go alone the next day and buy them but her period was early this month leaving her no choice. She wanted to go buy them alone because it would be awkward to buy them in front of Naveen. But Naveen always follows her.

But to her surprise Abhi took out a pack from her wardrobe and she didn't see them in her wardrobe earlier and she knew she didn't bring them. And what's important is, it was exactly the same brand and size she uses. 

She sat up and asked with bewilderment "How are they here ? I mean I don't remember bringing an extra pack here".

Abhi kept them back and went to sit on the edge of the bed. "I saw them in your room back at Shantibhavan and I bought a few packs when I went to buy you some stuff and medicines yesterday".

She was shocked to hear it, though it was normal for a boyfriend to help his girl buy her daily necessities, for a star celebrity like Abhi to buy these kind of things on his own was something unusual and she felt her heart warm up. 

He laid on the bed and caressed her cheek with his thumb. It has become a habit to him to caress her cheek. She liked it because her elder brother used to do the same and it always remainded her of her brother. 

He said "I wanted to ask you something ?" to which she replied in a hurry, "No way, I am not going to sleep without my t shirt today".

He was a bit shocked but when he understood what she was talking about, he chuckled and said "It's not that, I wanted to say something else".

Shriya looked at him and guessed "You wanted to remove your shirt today, I can't sleep peacefully if you do so".

Abhi was utterly speechless hearing to his woman's blabbering. He was amused to see her innocent and scared face and said with a mischievous smile "What is going on in that little brain of your's ?".

He then patted her head and said "You sure have some weird thoughts in your brain", and he caressed her moist lips and said "I wanted to ask you something else".

She looked at him and he asked "You found something right, what is it ?"

She looked at him with a confused expression and he explained "You are acting different ever since I returned from America. Why ?"

She looked down at the floor and said "I am sorry" and her face was full of guilt. 

Abhi frowned and he knew whenever she says sorry, then there is definitely a story behind it. He was already guilty for not being able to be there for her when she was in need and now she again said sorry and  he was worried sick.

* * * * * * 

Kunal sat in his study and his brother Barun entered the room after knocking and placed a stack of papers on the table and said " Bhai, You have to see this".

Abhishek is a famous actor in India and is known for his sincerity at work place.  He is a  cold, mysterious and oof person. His first love is Shriya Sheren, who is an orphan. He follows her for almost three years , without her knolwedge.  

But he comes in front of her one day, seeing him she asks him "Aren't you the famous Actor Abhishek Malhotra, Are you the one who wants to spend the night with me."

Next morning Abhishek offered her coffee with a smile on his face and said " Last night you promised me  that you will let me take care of you." 

 Will she accept his proposal to stay with him. What happens if she decides to stay with him and what are her reasons to become a mistress all of a sudden..

How Abhi is going to be make her his women and what happens when he decided to stay with her for a long time. 

Will she be able to manage his high profile status and become worthy to be his girlfriend. 

How does her life change after she met that dream man  of all the girls in the entire country. 

Thought: "What you have left with is more important than what you have lost".

   "It is recommended for you to attend college if your teacher doesn't teach you much. This way you can learn a lot of knowledge. Occasionally there will be alchemy basters who would give lectures on different subjects. It will widen your horizon." Nightingale suggested. 

    "I will." Dudian nodded in confirmation. He could take a look at their libraries for a way to restore his left arm. 

    Nightingale's eyes brightened as she saw him promise.: " Since that is the case then I'll be waiting for you at the college. Speaking of which I can be your elder sister over there. Your code name is way too high-profile as I'm afraid you will get beaten..."

    Dudian wryly smiled. He chose the code name on a whim and didn't expect that no one had chosen it before. Now as he thought about it he didn't choose the code name because of arrogance but to remind himself not to be carried away with temporary comfort and be wasted once again. 

    "I'll find you when I get there." Dudian changed the topic.: "My friend's leg was smashed by a rock. Do you know a way which can heal him?"

    "Fractures bones?" Nightingale was silent for a moment.: "In addition to 'fountain of life' there seems to be nothing else which can treat such an injury. But the price of 'fountain of life' is too expensive. A non-starred alchemist wouldn't be able to buy as we don't have permission to purchase something like that."

    "Fountain of life?"

    "Don't you know?" Nightingale was surprised.: "Your teacher is way too lazy. He hasn't taught you anything! 'Fountain of life' is sold by the Holy Church too but only their internal stuff can purchase it. It is the best healing medicine that money can buy. It can recover bone fractures easily. It is said that it can regenerate a finger. Holy Church says that it is a gift from God of Light but in face it was developed by dark church. They had stolen the formula." There was pride and disdain in her tone as Nightingale talked. 

    Dudian's eyes lit up.: "How much it would cost to buy one?"

    Nightingale immediately replied.: "Dispel the idea! It is not something that can be bought with money. You will need five thousand alchemy points to get your hands on 'fountain of life'!

    Dudian frowned.: "So expensive?"

    "Of course. It is giving a second chance in life. " Nightingale said: "Moreover as we haven't reached a star threshold yet then don't even think about getting one of those. Although your friend's leg is smashed but there is nothing but him getting used to this new condition."

    Dudian slightly shook his head.: "I will check the shops to see if there is a potion that can help him out."

    Nightingale sighed.: "Well, I have activities in the college so I have to go back. I wish your friend quick recovery."

   Dudian waited until she left. Afterwards he continued to ask the other shops. He made a full lap around the shops but couldn't get any gains. He was told that in addition to 'fountain of life' there was a method of life faction alchemists called 'regeneration'. They were able to heal any wounds but the price was very expensive. In addition there was not a fixed market price. 

    Dudian had expected such an outcome as Nightingal had already told him in advance. So he was not too depressed. He exited the division of the dark church. After leaving the manor he looked around and found a place where no one was checking upon him while he took of the mask and robe. Later on he hired a carriage and returned to Ryan castle. 

   Dudian opened the envelope after he got into the carriage. The letter had lots of words. After reading carefully it seemed as if it was a poem but not one at the same time. There was no flow in it. At the end of the poem there were string of alchemy symbols. 

   Dudian understood the method to decrypt the message. He began to read the poem according to the method. 

    "Blood Reef Alchemy College ... Address: Hongta Street No. 109 ... " Dudian read the message word by word and sorted out the information. After confirming that there was nothing left out he took out a match from his pocket and burned the letter into ashes. 

    It was almost dusk by the time he returned to Ryan castle. After the dinner was finished Dudian went back to his room. He used the pen draw on paper. It was a simple topographic map. 

    As he was half the way to finish the map, Old Fulin pushed the door open and joined the room.: "These are your cold crystals." He handed out a small sachet. 

    Dudian's eyes lit up as he took the sachet and opened it. There were four dark blue and round cold crystals. These were the ones he had hunted.: "Thank you" 

    "Your business is my business. No need for thanks." There was faint smile on Old Fulin's face. 

    Dudian looked at him.: "After a few days I would like to go outside the giant wall."

    Old Fulin was surprsied. " You have just come back from outside. The radiation has been digested and discharded from your body. If you go out at this point then the radiation content of your body will increase. And your arm is..."

    Dudian shook his head.: "Ordinary medical treatment would not be enough to cure my left arm. I asked the alchemist friend and was told that there is a way to cure my arm but we need too much money."

    "Are you talking about 'fountain of life'?" Old Fulinasked.

    Dudian looked at him in astonishment. "Do you know about it?"

    "Of course I'm aware of the thing. The only thing is that it is sold by Holy Church only to its memebers. Mellon consortium could purchase it as they had a member which was part of Holy Church. Do you remember Melk the Knight of Light? He helps them to purchase stuff like that." Old Fulin said.: "A few days ago I went to Scott consortium in hope that they could purchase on our behalf. But the price was too expensive, about fifty thousand gold coins. I asked them for a credit but they didn't agree."

    Dudian said: "Don't worry about this matter. I'll solve it myself."

    Old Fulin smiled.: "It's getting late. You should sleep early." He turned away and left. 

    Dudian's eyes feel onto the four cold crystals in the sachet. He took off his shoes and sat on bed. Dudian grabbed the knife from the table by the bedside and made a slice on his right hand. He took out one of the cold crystals and put it inside his palm. It didn't take long for cold crystal to dissolve into silvery liquid. As if it was a living creature with consciousness it began to penetrate into his body through the cut on his finger. After a moment his body felt bursts of coldness and extreme hotness. The feeling gradually faded away. Dudian felt that his physical strength had grown up. 

    "I can't be greedy. I can't use more than one every time." Dudian put away the remaining three cold crystals. He didn't want his right arm to end up as his left arm. 

   Dudian continued to draw the previous simple map according to his memory. He felt tired after a long time and lied down to sleep. 

    The next morning Dudian got up early. He ate the breakfast and left the Ryan castle. Once again he came to division of dark church. He wandered around but most of the time he stood by the in front of the cage frozen storage capsule was kept. 

    There were dozens of people who were observing the object so his actions were not obivous to eyes. 

    In the blink of an eye two days passed.

    Dudian was absorbing the third cold crystal. The extreme cold and hot feeling had gradually become dull because of regular absorption of the cold crystal. He was able to bear them eaily. He was thinking about other things as his body was absorbing the cold crystals. He recovered the moment he heard 'Kacha' sounds.


Catastrophe erupted, it was the end of the world.
Survivors were surrounded by the impregnable wall, a new order was established...
The desire for power, faith, and darkness pervaded each other, layer upon layer of brands imprinted in every corner of the heart.
The virus wreaked havoc, were these humans' true colors?
"I unexpectedly survive, I want to live." –Du Dian

When Deandra and Zetty arrived at their residence, both of them quickly enter their room that they share together since first semester they enter the college. Hanni and Herni still in the process to pack Deandra stuff, Deandra hand to them a burger that she buy just now. Both of them put it aside and continue to pack the rest of Deandra stuff. 

After 2 hours of packing and digging finally all Deandra stuff are done packs. The clock shows 1.21am. Hanni and Herni start munch the burger that Deandra bought. After make sure she already packs her things Deandra sit at her bed. 

"I will only bring back these 2 bags. The rest my family will pick it up when we come to Kuala Lumpur to attend my graduation day. I will let Iyka know so the new residences doesn't throw my stuff that I left here" Deandra say to Zetty, Herni and Hanni.

"Yes, you should inform Iyka, since she will have another semester here, she should be the next leader for this residence, and let the new residence know not to touch your stuff." Herni word make Deandra, Hanni and Zetty nodded together. 

Since after they left Iyka will be the eldest who stay at the residence, of course she should be the leader.

"I will let her know tomorrow." Deandra lay back at her bed. 

"I need to sleep, tomorrow going to be a long journey for me." Deandra words make Herni and Hanni quickly walk out from Deandra room, Zetty in another hand switch off the lamp and lay at her bed.

In this residence Deandra words are rules, follow the order, or get ready to get yell by her, no one really have a gut to talk back to her. Her charisma character kills every time. Even the previous seniors listen to her words no matter what she say or order. That make her more charming than other so called princess type of girls.

Deandra always believe, love on first sight will end with marriage, but can she even fall in love with her crush ?.

Rayyan thought his love towards women already die long time ago, but can he even fall in love with man ? he still wonder that.

If her father had the spare cash, he would definitely save them for Qiao Zijin and her to use when they went to college.
"Why do you think we have a refrigerator at home?" Qiao Dongliang felt slightly displeased.
Back then, Ding Jiayi always clamored to buy a refrigerator. When it was summer, particularly, it would be much more convenient to have a refrigerator at home. However, the Qiao family's financial condition did not allow them to buy a refrigerator.
They never expected that now that Ding Jiayi was no longer at home, they would have a large refrigerator at home. When it was summer, they did not need to buy Popsicles from the small retail stall anymore. They could have Popsicles in the comfort of their house. 
"Is it also from Zhu Baoguo's father?"
"It was indeed a gift from someone, but it was not from Zhu Baoguo's father. It was from Zhai Sheng."
"Brother Zhai?" Qiao Nan was stunned. "Why would he send this to us? Dad, why were you willing to accept it?"
"Accept?" Of course not!
Zhai Sheng, the young brat, was crafty. He knew that he would not have accepted the refrigerator. Therefore, after buying the refrigerator, he got someone else to send it to him. The person left after delivering the refrigerator. Qiao Dongliang did not have a chance to refuse.
Qiao Dongliang did not want to accept it, but he could not possibly leave the refrigerator outside. It would be a pity to be taken away by others. 
Since it was already in the house, and it was summer, some fruits and vegetables would last longer if kept in the refrigerator, Qiao Dongliang could not help but end up using the new refrigerator.
"Hahaha." Qiao Nan was amused. Her father must have fallen for Brother Zhai's tricks. He had no other choice but to accept the refrigerator. 
"Nan Nan, the exams were just over. How do you feel about the exams?" Qiao Dongliang poured a glass of water for Qiao Nan. He seemed to be very concerned.
"It's the same as usual."
"That's good." Qiao Dongliang clapped in happiness. Given Nan Nan's standard, it was good enough to perform as per normal. 
Qiao Nan changed her shoes. She hesitated before saying, "But Dad, I may not rank first in the whole level in this final term exam. I may only rank second. Will you be disappointed?"
"The second in the whole level?" Qiao Dongliang paused momentarily. Since the third year of junior high school, Nan Nan had always ranked first. "It's very good to rank second. Besides, it is among the whole level. It's already a very good result."
"Dad, are you really not disappointed or unhappy?"
"No, why will I?" Qiao Dongliang smiled. "Initially, I thought that you looked strange when you came back today. So it was regarding this. It is very good to achieve the second in the level. For me, I am not highly educated and my grades were not very good when I was in school. Moreover, judging from your sister's grades, you're the only one who is intelligent in a family whose members are not good in their studies. You have inherited the few good genes in the family. If I were given another chance, I would never be able to rank second in the class, let alone second in the level. Nan Nan, you are much more capable than me. I must give you a thumbs-up!"
Qiao Dongliang gave Qiao Nan a thumbs-up proudly. He was already very satisfied and pleased with Qiao Nan's results. 
In short, if he was to sit for the exam, he would only rank second-to-last in the class, let alone in second place.
Qiao Nan smiled, relieved of all tension. "Dad, I must give you a thumbs-up as well!"
Qiao Nan gave her father a thumbs-up. In this world, no other father was better than him. 
After eliminating her last bit of worry about her results, Qiao Nan felt lighter and more relaxed. "Dad, I just finished my exams. I intend to give myself a five-day break. After getting the report card, I will then make a study plan. I am really tired out these few days."
"Just for five days? Why don't you rest for a few more days? In fact, there is two months' worth of summer break. Nan Nan, do you want to travel around?" Qiao Dongliang felt that Qiao Nan had pushed herself too hard. The study plan she had was too packed. 
The children from other families would enjoy and have fun in the two months of summer break. 
As for Nan Nan, she would devote all her time to her studies during the summer break. It was no different from studying at school. The only difference was that in the school, there would be teachers guiding them along, while at home, she would be doing her own preparation work. It was too hard on her.
"Dad, are you saying that you will allow me to travel?" Qiao Nan leaned on the sofa. "Dad, why do you have this idea?" Travel would cost a lot of money. She did not have any income, so how could she spend without any qualms? 
"It's nothing. I just feel that you are still young and should travel more. Since you are still in school, you can travel during summer break or winter break. When you start working, you will not have summer breaks or winter breaks if you aren't a teacher. By that time, it will not be as convenient for you to travel."
"Dad, do you miss Mom and sister?" Qiao Zijin had always wanted to travel during summer break. 
"Miss them? More or less." After calming down for two months, Qiao Dongliang was no longer that agitated when mentioning Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin. "Nan Nan, do you have any place that you want to visit?"
"Yes." Qiao Nan nodded. "I prefer exploring nature where there are mountains, seas, or lakes. But I don't plan to go now. I have already thought it through. When I finish college entrance examination, the summer break is the longest, almost two and a half months. I will take a break for half a month to travel around." Now, she did not dare to travel around lest she could not concentrate on her studies.
"Alright, when the time comes, I will give you the money to travel. You must have a good time."
"Dad, what about my college fees? You refuse to let me work to save for college. Dad, have you won the lottery?" Qiao Nan looked at Qiao Dongliang curiously. Her father seemed different. It was as if he had figured out something.
Qiao Dongliang did not know whether to cry or laugh. "Lottery? I never buy lottery. Have you forgotten how I used to teach you and your sister? As for your college fees and your travel fees after the college entrance examination, don't worry. There are two more years to go. Are you worried that I won't be able to earn them?"
"Alright." Qiao Nan gave a faint reply. Her father was indeed successful in the way he taught his daughters. She was never interested in the lottery. 
Otherwise, given that she went through rebirth, as long as she remembered a number, she would be able to make a fortune.
"By the way, Nan Nan, you have to give Zhai Sheng a call. Tell him not to buy us stuff like this anymore. This place is lent to us by the school. Now that we have a television set, a telephone, and a refrigerator, it is as if we are staying here forever."
It was uncertain what would happen to Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng in the future.
Qiao Dongliang felt uneasy accepting the refrigerator that Zhai Sheng gave them. It was as if he was selling his daughter. Besides, if Nan Nan went separate ways with Zhai Sheng in the future, it would seem like they owed him whatever he gave them.


Qiao Nan: Crap! I am your biological daughter, yet I am treated as if I was picked up from the streets. In fact, you treat me worse than that!

Mother Qiao: Qiao Nan, you are not as pretty or smart as your elder sister. You are not as blessed as her. You have no right to study, marry, or to have your happiness!

Qiao Nan: Why am I not allowed to study, marry, or to seek my happiness? I will find a man right now and marry him!

Qiao Nan is dumbstruck upon discovering that the man right beside her is a powerful figure in the quad—the person who has the most promising prospects to be the future Chief.

Qiao Nan stares at the well-built man in front of her. He has firm abs and cold, chilling eyes. She swallows the lump in her throat as she says her greetings, "Good Morning, Chief!"

"Council of People's Commissars? I believe it is something like a township office in Korea."
"That's right. A clerk there wants to see me."
"A clerk of Council of People's Commissars? Why would he want to see you?"
"I have no idea. I will give you a call after I meet with the clerk."
"Okay."
"Before you go, I have something to ask you about."
"What is it?"
"I am concerned about the storage building we purchased. The joint venture with Lymondell Dyeon hasn't been finalized yet, and we are not sure we will actually start the joint venture with them or not. However, we purchased storage for the business already."
"Don't worry about it. We will soon receive the confirmation for the joint venture. Otherwise, we can resell the storage."
"If we resell the storage, we will have to pay for fees and taxes."
"We will get the joint venture business from them. They said they would send their personnel to visit our factory. That means that they want to do a joint venture with us. Okay, I really have to go now. I will talk to you once I get back from the Council of People's Commissars."
"Sounds good."
 
Min-Hyeok called Gun-Ho when Gun-Ho was almost ready to call it a day.
"Did you meet with him? The clerk of Council of People's Commissars."
"Yes, I did. He is the head of the town and a party secretary at the same time. He looked like a farmer in the countryside though."
"A party secretary is a sort of powerful position. In China, any place that has an organization, there is a party secretary; it could be a party secretary of a small town, or province, or the state."
"It was about nothing important. He asked me why I want to transfer the land to our company's name, and he also wanted to know how much investment fund we are putting into the business."
"He is a silly man."
"He said that we might need two security guards for our new storage, and he wants to recommend two people he knows. He said he would send someone in the vicinity of the area."
"It seems that the Chinese government is very proactive in resolving an unemployment issue. Just do what you have to do, Min-Hyeok."
 
When Gun-Ho arrived at Haneda Airport in Tokyo, he sent a text message to Mori Aikko before heading to the condo in Daikanyama, Shibuya.
"Aikko, do not prepare dinner for us. Let's dine out."
 
Gun-Ho arrived at the condo where Mori Aikko was living in. Daikanyama was regarded as Cheongdam Town in Tokyo because there were so many sophisticated stores and restaurants. Mori Aikko's condo was located a bit off the main street.
When Gun-Ho arrived in front of the condo's front door, he entered the passcode to the keyless entry lock system. The passcode was Gun-Ho's phone number. That was what Mori Aikko set up.
"Aikko."
"Oppa!"
Aikko still looked like a teenager in Gun-Ho's eyes. She was like a cute rabbit.
"I missed you so much, Aikko."
"Me, too."
Gun-Ho bombarded Mori Aikko with his endless kisses on her cheek with a loud kissing sound.
"You haven't had dinner yet, right? Let's go out."
"We shouldn't just leave like this. Let's have at least a cup of tea here first."
Mori Aikko said in Korean.
"Your Korean improved a lot."
Gun-Ho sat at the dining table, and he heard a rattling sound from the kitchen. It seemed Mori Aikko was preparing a cup of tea in the kitchen. Gun-Ho felt like he was at home. He felt relaxed and cozy.
Aikko brought some tea with some snacks.
"What kind of tea is this?"
"It's Guro Mame tea."
 
Gun-Ho and Mori Aikko took a walk on the Daikanyama street. While they were walking, Mori Aikko sometimes grabbed Gun-Ho's arm and jumped up and down in excitement.
"You are wearing the same clothes as the last time I saw you. I will buy you new clothes."
"No, it's okay. This is my favorite clothes."
"Let me buy one for you."
"Okay, then let's go to that store."
Mori Aikko was pointing the Green Field Outlet mall. It didn't cost Gun-Ho much to buy her clothes. He bought pants and a jacket for Mori Aikko. Gun-Ho felt like he was buying cheap stuff for her, so he went to RedLabel and got a suit for her too.
"Don't waste your money."
Aikko told Gun-Ho that he shouldn't buy anything more, and she bought Gun-Ho a wallet and a handkerchief and told him that they were her gift to him.
Gun-Ho and Aikko had a good time while walking on a street and having a waffle and an ice cream.
 
After having a beer at an open-air café in Daikanyama, they walked back to the condo. Aikko's condo was located in a very expensive area, and an average Japanese person in Tokyo couldn't afford to buy it.
Aikko prepared Gun-Ho's toiletries and Yukata. The bedsheet was fresh and crispy.
Gun-Ho hugged Mori Aikko's waist tightly and kissed her.
 
The next morning, it was a bit chilly. Mori Aikko was in Gun-Ho's arms.
"Oppa, do you have to go back to Korea today? Can't you live here?"
"I have a business to run there."
"I do love the condo, but I sometimes feel it is too empty and quiet here."
Gun-Ho let out a slight sigh. He thought he would have to let her go someday.
"Oppa, I want to visit Korea."
"Korea?"
"Yeah. I want to walk on the street in Bukchon and also Insa Town. I want to see your company too."
"Sure. I welcome you to Korea at any time."
"Really?"
Mori Aikko put her arms around Gun-Ho's neck and pressed her lips against Gun-Ho's.
 
Gun-Ho came back to Korea after spending fantastic nights in Tokyo. He felt like he was recharged. When he went to work in the morning, he parked his car and walked to the front door. There, he bumped into Jong-Suk Park.
"Bro, you looked very good these days. I can tell by looking at your nose; it's shiny."
"My nose?"
Gun-Ho rubbed his nose with his right hand.
"The plant manager told me that you don't miss a class at Polytechnics College."
"Yeah. I didn't like to go to college at first, but now I like it."
"That's good to hear. Keep it up."
Jong-Suk Park walked towards his office in the production field. He was humming.
Gun-Ho then encountered the plant manager this time. He was on his way to his office after he parked his car.
"I am so glad to know that Manager Jong-Suk Park is doing well at Polytechnics College."
"He has his reason for it, sir."
"He has his own reason? What is it?"
"Oh, you don't know? He met someone there. He is dating a girl."
"A girl?"
"Yes, she is an office worker in another company and came to college to study. It seems they hit it off well. Manager Jong-Suk Park goes straight to school after he gets off at work."
"Haha, really?"
Gun-Ho had never expected to hear Jong-Suk having a girl.

This is the story of a poor young man whose poverty even shreds apart their family willing to climb his way through society and into the top. A very realistic novel that moves away from fantasy and sci-fi and focuses solely on the issues of society and life.

Huo mei, after thinking over some time, decided to yan long's suggestion. It was just throwing an arrow in to dark, yet, unexpectedly, it worked. 
She asked her father why her step mother decided to give her a present meant for those in sixties while she has not yet crossed twenty? If huo mei thought gift is from her father, then she wouldn't have talked to him for reminder of her life. Her father, in order to placate her, gave her a carte blanche. 

Yanlong is as surprised at her success as Huo mei. After all, the tactic itself came from Huo mei of future. At that time, Yanlong was leery of it, for her own experience is different. That could be very much because she is never precious daughter like Huo mei is. 

In order to celebrate her success, Huo mei decided to take all of them shopping and eating. Yan long did not resist. They went to L city, about three hundred miles away from their university. 


"L city, finally.." Bi yu said smiling like a fool. 

"I already think this is the best decision I have made in my life." Su yan added. 

"I never could have guessed you have it in you." Ming zhu added looking at yan long.  

The day before, Huo mei told yanlong to ask for one favor, anything she wants. 

Yanlong suggested they all run away to L city and play hooky. Her purpose was to buy the stuff she could not in the college town. Yet, her roommates took to the suggestion with enthusiasm of prisoners who just had a jailbreak.

After all, they were all prisoners of grades and studies. Yanlong is a scholarship student. Room assignments are based on grades to some extent. Thus, though not as high as her self, grades of the rest must be high enough. Such high grades don't happen by luck or talent. So it stood to reason her roommates are almost as repressed as herself. 

Huo mei offered to bear the cost of the trip for Yanlong. Since Yanlong knew what's coming, she accepted easily. 

"Wow, we worried for naught. If I knew it's this easy to buy you, I would have long since." Biyu griped. 

Yanlong most definitely would have taken offense at such words had she been young and proud girl she was. Now, she is a thirty year old woman who survived the apocalypse. Freebies are always appreciated. Rich and generous is a rare and diminishing species. When one is found, it must be latched on to with all strength. 

"Not too late now either. Thousand bucks a day. Auction held at 7 am every day." Yanlong quipped. 

"If I knew you are this cool, I would have talked to you long since. To think I was afraid of you." Su yan mumbled. 

Yanlong always had that lone wolf aura around her. It is a natural phenomenon. In a country that prized skinny good looks, she is the chubby rugged girl. Add to that, she herself had a tomboyish personality with none of the added perks such as athleticism. 

Su yan is leery of literati in the first place, given she came from an elite affluent family. She's not quite black sheep, only, her elder sibling is too brilliant. Last year, They chose their bed based on entrance exam scores. Yanlong's scores are a little too on the top, even for an elite college. Suyan avoided her where she can after that. 

They went to most famous dimsum house in the L city. Yanlong did not have any qualms at all and ate like a sumo wrestler. Even Mingzhu and Meibing got affected with her enthusiasm, eating more than they ever would. They decided to get a sisterhood symbol after that. 

"A tattoo." Biyu suggested. 

"No. we can never be too sure about their sanitary conditions." Meibing vetoed. 

"Dress?" Mingzhu suggested. Every one contemplated seriously, but no one agreed. 

"How about soldier tags and a hunting knife?" Yanlong suggested. 

"Aiya! You a gamer girl?" Biyu poked fun at her. 

"I like it. Soldier tags and knife." Huo mei added. 

"Whatever birthday girl wants." Meibing agreed. 

They both are game otakus. Even Biyu is a game otaku, but the games she liked are entirely different genre from Mei sisters. 

Yanlong who did not know her suggestion will go over so well is very happy with the outcome. 

So, off they went in search of good weapon. 

"This is a phony knife. Da ge! Don't you have any real ones?" Yanlong asked. 

"Ai ya Little sister! in this L city, I sell the best weapons. If you can find one better, I will call you grandmother." the salesman boasted. 

"Then do you have a tungsten alloy steel type bayonet?" Yanlong asked. 

"Little sister, you sure know your stuff." The salesman said surprised. 

"Let's just take this knife. What's wrong with it?" Biyu questioned. 

"I am a little curious about a knife yanlong approves." Meibing intervened.

"I want one she selects." Huomei put her stamp of approval. 

If the salesman got surprised, Yanlong sure must know her stuff well. No woman will ever turn a shopping expert's advice. 

"Fine. Let's go get our legendary grade knife." cribbed Biyu. 

Mingzhu and suyan both agreed. They are curious to see that elusive weapon approved by Yanlong. 

Finally, they went to a swordsmith shop where Yanlong talked shop and got them all a pretty looking dagger. 

It is then they got to know why Huomei approved of this plan of getting daggers. 

She's a hardcore gamer girl. While Yanlong only brought them here to get a sword and get herself quality thief kit, Huo mei went crazy buying a katana, halberd, twin twisted blades, a church blade and a ten sets of various throwing equipment. 

Yanlong stood beside her, looked after making sure every weapon is chosen with the right material, hand grip and balance. This is the first knowledge any and all apocalypse survivors ought to have. 

On top of this, she added all the other little curiosities that she thought Huomei may need, but did not think of. Including a leather battle suit. It's not the anime collector version, but a real one, which she customized for Huomei with a fire symbol and few fake diamonds. 

"My father would have all these thrown out if I were home." Huomei said, smiling at the weapon collection she has bought. 
Even the quiet Su yan has gone on a little splurge, buying all sorts of little weapons. It's only Biyu who did not buy much, but after looking at Huomei's battle suit, she bought one too, customized with a purple yamato nadeshiko flower. 

Then, suddenly the suit has turned into haute couture. Biyu is a fashionista and a pretty influential one too. Thus, all the remaining girls got a suit, with Yanlong choosing their symbols. 

Yanlong insisted on doing this, along with suggesting little customizations too. Mei bing got a snowflake, ming zhu a peony, suyan a little water droplet. Huomei insisted on buying yanlong one, so, finally she got one too, with dragon on it's emblem. 

By the time they concluded the buying spree in the weapon shop, it's lunch time. They went to a famous restaurant. 

Yanlong binged herself again with no concern towards calories. She was coming back from a diet. Even if it only amounts to mosquito leg, she wanted to store up energy, for food is the first thing to become scarce in apocalypse. She had spent almost five days without a single morsel in the past. Worse, she did not think she can eat this kind of tasty food not any time soon. 

They went to central mall in the afternoon for clothes shopping. While the rest bought normal clothes, Yanlong bought the sturdiest and cheapest all weather clothes and athletic clothes. Finally, Biyu came to persuade her strongly against all her choices, given almost all of them are ugly. 

They bickered for so long, unable to bear with the raucous, Huo mei offered to buy prettier versions. Yanlong allowed her to change her shoes and and raincoat, but rejected her offer for the rest. She knew that the brands she has chosen are the sturdiest ones. 

Mei bing and Ming zhu both bought uglier versions of same raincoat and pants in solidarity. Biyu sometimes did get on everyone's nerves. 

By the time they finished their shopping, it's six in the evening. Yanlong told wanted to separate from the group to finish reminder of her shopping. When she told them what she is going to buy are lock picking tools, the reactions are varied. 

"Like in spy movies? With an electronic password calculator?"  Huo mei asked interestedly. 

"Can it break safes?" Biyu asked as if she has few safes to break. Knowing her, she probably wants to break in to her mother's jewelry locker.  

"Whom are you planning to steal from?" Mei bng asked as if she is already planning the heist. 

"Are you going to steal exam papers?" Su yan asked doubtfully. 

The moment she heard those words, Yanlong knew she could not go alone. She took it in stride. 

"My! None of you dear sisters are interested in being heroine of justice and stop me from the very wrong path of thievery?" Yan long asked jokingly. 

The answering silence is enough to know they are going to be abetters rather than voice of reason. 

"Fine. Tag along. We have to skip the bakery and eat enroute though." Yanlong told them. 

The girls clambered after her. 

Perhaps this is all interesting to them, but these items will prove to be life saving in the future. It will not be bad to have two powerhouses like mei sisters, dubbed fire star and ice queen. None of her roommates turned into zombies, but MingZhu and Biyu were first to perish among them. 

It is at that time Yanlong's phone rumbled with a beep.

Bai Yanlong reset her life to three days before apocalypse. She would have liked to rip a new one to novel gods for giving her such a short time, but she hasn't got the time.

Not that she can do much if there was more time. After all, she's but a poor college student from a middle class family. Now if only she could catch all the super powers in the world... 

What is this? she got the super powers? ... this doesn't sound right.. she has never been this lucky.. oh.. wait a minute why did that door handle vanish? she is sure it was there in middle of that door. It is only when she looked up that she realized. no good thing ever comes with out a price..

"Alright, little rascals. You're dismissed." Old Madam waved her hand and said, "Remember, whoever dares to bully my sweetheart will have his skin peeled off by me! Go away now!"
Everyone instantly dispersed.
After leaving the golden tree, the younger members all gathered together and expressed their views on Hong Dali—
"It looks like this Hong Dali is useless. He doesn't have any strength at all and even those elixirs don't work on him, this is so amusing."
"It's just that Old Madam takes care of him too much. Sigh, this really causes us to be envious of him. When we wanted to apply for those elixirs, we had to go through so much trouble."
"Exactly. But for this Hong Dali, he can eat it in handfuls and as snacks. This is really unacceptable."
"Alright, stop talking behind his back. If Old Madam hears this, she will definitely give you guys a good beating. Since Old Madam is protecting him, let's just keep a low-profile. According to the rules, he definitely will go to the Shenglong Royal Family Divine College for studies. Let's talk about him after that. I reckon it won't be long."
"Right, why did I forget about that! According to the royal family's rules, all of the younger members have to study in the Divine College to train. However… This Hong Dali doesn't have any power at all, will he still be able to go there?"
"All of the members of the royal family will have to go, this has nothing much to do with how powerful one is. The main purpose of going there is to build our connections. Therefore, you understand what I mean."
"Right, hahaha, it will definitely be interesting!"
While they were discussing their views on Hong Dali and how to teach him a lesson next time, Hong Dali and his group had already left the manor.
This time, only Tang Muxin, Li Nianwei, and the nine lackeys came with him, the rest were all training in the places where the Old Madam arranged for them. After all, this was the Shenglong Star, the territory of the Astral Royal Family. Their level didn't even reach the Stellar-level. They didn't want to embarrass the Young Master in crucial moments, so they stayed behind to train.
"Big Bro Dali, you said that you wanted to squander, then which places do you want to go to?" Hua Xiangyu had only intended to bring Hong Dali away from the other members then leave. But on second thought, Hong Dali had only arrived, it wouldn't be good to just left him alone like this. She wasn't in a rush to train, anyway. So why not give herself a break and bring him around.
"Ah, let's just take a random walk around the place." Hong Dali looked around at the surroundings, finding it quite familiar.
The place they were at now was quite similar to that of the Hong Family estate and Tianjing City on Old Earth. Hong Jun had probably designed the Hong Family estate based on the geographical structure here. The only difference was the design of the buildings—very obviously, with Earth's past technology, it wasn't possible to copy the design on Shenglong Star. Also, Hong Jun wasn't a technology genius. This wasn't Hong Jun's fault, because those who were talented in martial arts were all idiots in regard to technology.
"Yup, let's go to the city for a walk then." Hua Xiangyu quickly summoned a car and brought them onboard. At the same time, she curiously asked, "Dali, your guards don't seem to be very strong too." In her eyes, the power level of Li Yang and the rest were only average. After all, she was a super-genius who entered the Star Sector-level at the age of 16.
"Oh, them?" Hong Dali very naturally answered, "They are not my guards, they are my lackeys, hehe."
Hua Xiangyu's eyes opened wide. "Huh?"
It was normal for someone of their status to bring guards out with them.
However, bring lackeys, and nine of them at that, this was indeed what a hedonist would do. But then again, this seemed to be quite normal too. If a prodigal didn't bring lackeys with him, who would?
Li Yang even gracefully bowed towards Hua Xiangyu and said, "I am Young Master's number two lackey, Li Yang, pleased to be at your service." His words were very gentle and graceful, and his expression was 30% obsequious and 70% proud, looking very comical.
Hua Xiangyu completely broke down.
Very quickly, they had all boarded the car to the city. As for why they didn't use a spacecraft, Hua Xiangyu explained that on this planet, everything must be preserved in the most natural and harmonious way possible. After all, in the universe, other than training, as humans, they still had to have a normal life.
If they made a big scene and caused a disturbance every time they went out, it would affect the moods of the people living here. Also, since there was only a small population living on Shenglong Star, it wouldn't waste too much time using vehicles as transport—the AI would calculate the path for them, anyway. It was fast and also convenient.
"I see." As Hong Dali listened, he ate his snacks and didn't forget to share with the others. "Come, come. Everyone, eat a bit and boost some attributes. This stuff looks quite good. Yup, after the compensation money arrives, let's go buy some in the black market. Just eat as much as you guys can. I'm rich, anyways."
It was true that he was rich. He had as much as 30 billion Shenglong Dollars! Even though these elixirs cost a lot, he could still afford it!
Everyone grinned and took a handful, eating them like peanuts. Hua Xiangyu asked curiously, "Big Bro Dali, these elixirs are very expensive, even the cheapest ones also cost at least 10,000 Shenglong Dollars. It's a bit of a waste to eat them as snacks. Unless that compensation money is a lot? But even so, I don't think it will be enough for you to eat them like this, right?"
It was no wonder that Hua Xiangyu found it a waste.
Normally, she wouldn't bring a lot of Shenglong Dollars with her. 10 minutes or so was already enough for her to use. After all, she didn't need to buy many things normally. But the cost of the elixir at least 10,000 and up to a million or more. At this rate of eating, who could afford it?
"Oh, the compensation money? It's indeed quite a lot." Hong Dali was quite nonchalant about this because he always didn't have many concepts of money. "30 billion, I think. It should be enough to eat, don't worry."
He spoke of it very lightly and the rest also didn't put it to heart. After all, following the Young Master, they had never needed to worry. They had never run out of money and just bought whatever they wanted. This was already a habit to them, a habit! Haha!
However, Hua Xiangyu was really astonished this time. "How much!? 30 billion? Shenglong Dollars?"
Although she was a super-genius in the Shenglong Royal Family, even Hua Xiangyu didn't see so much money before. That's 30 billion, no wonder he dared to eat the elixirs like this. He could afford to buy thousands of these elixirs easily!
"That's right. Speaking of which, those High Nobles were quite generous…" Hong Dali grinned and looked at Hua Xiangyu, then said, "Sister Xiangyu, is there anything that you like? If there is, I shall buy a set for you. Oh right, the compensation money isn't here yet, so I only have 10 million on me now. It's indeed not a lot."
Hong Dali felt that this wasn't a lot, but Hua Xiangyu didn't feel the same way.
Ten million Shenglong Dollars wasn't a small amount, it was enough to buy a galaxy. Yet, Hong Dali used it like it was a small change…
"Since I am a prodigal, I should play something innovative." Hong Dali touched his chin and said, "Let's go stroll inside the malls first and see what the prices are like." The System requested for him to squander 100,000 Shenglong Dollars in three days' time, but he needed to understand the current price level of the goods on this planet first.
If the purchasing power of Shenglong Dollars was strong, that would be quite troublesome for him—100,000 Shenglong Dollars wasn't a large sum of money, nor was it a small sum.
Since he had decided to go look at the prices first, large-scale malls were naturally the best choice. Very quickly, the car gradually came to a stop in front of a large jade-like tree.
The tree had a diameter of 300 meters and was so high that it shot past the clouds.
"This is the place." Hua Xiangyu brought everyone down, smiled and said, "Jade Tree, this is one of the biggest malls in Tianyuan City. Overall speaking, the kinds of stuff here are above average. It's considered not bad."
Oh, that's good. Now, everything is ready but one!
They walked inside.
This was indeed one of the largest shopping centers in Tianyuan City, the human traffic wasn't small. Most of the people here wore armors and looked quite strong too. From this, it could be seen that what was sold here was mainly equipment. As for common day stuff such as food and stuff, there wasn't a need to take a look, they were definitely not worth much.
Just as they were about to go in, Hua Xiangyu suddenly looked somewhere not far away on her right side, then frowned and stopped.
Everyone turned their heads and looked, then quickly understood what happened.
They saw a young man and woman, both wearing gorgeous-looking armor. The male looked about 20 plus, quite handsome, and his body was a perfect triangle shape, very charismatic. More importantly, on his chest was a medal! It was completely golden in color, and at the center were two purple stars.
Hong Dali didn't know what this medal represented, but Hua Xiangyu was very clear that this represented the wearer's power.
Green bronze, Planet-level. Silver, Stellar-level. Golden, Star Sector-level!
A gold medal with two stars represented that his level was—Star Sector level two!
Being able to become a level two Star Sector warrior at the age of 20 plus, the talent of this young man wasn't normal!
A handsome appearance, powerful strength, and being born in the royal family, this young man had already mesmerized the young women around him, causing them to stop in place and stare at him.
Compared to him, Hong Dali was like a country bumpkin. They weren't comparable at all.
Also, the young girl beside him was almost as beautiful as Hua Xiangyu. She had beautiful purple long hair and a sexy body. The ice crystal necklace she wore seemed to be like a mysterious black hole, attracting the attention of everyone else, and also causing her to look even more beautiful and mysterious.


"I have to squander; otherwise, won't it be a waste of my parent's talent at earning money?" Hong Dali answers a reporter's question matter-of-factly. 

Just after the interview ends, Hong Dali opens the Great Prodigal System's interface and looks at the various good stuff displayed in it. Stroking his chin, he mumbles to himself, "I just need to squander 200 billion yuan more to exchange for the blueprint of the core technology, Engine Destruction, found in the strongest humanoid mecha weapon, Neo Granzon. Looks like I'll have to work harder!"

"I want to splurge! I want to squander!"


Youngho, Jongil, and Mustafa visited Ortakoy flea market on a crowded Sunday. Ortakoy flea market was an outdoor market where people sold used products.
"Young Ho. There is an old saying in here. 'You encounter your ancestors in flea market.' If you are lucky, you might even find a hundreds-year-old legendary item. Why don't you try your luck and skim through stuff here?"
Knowing that hundreds-year-old Southeastern European artifacts are easy to find, Youngho was not intrigued to search through things. Youngho was still tired from the hangover. He skimmed to see if he could find a gift for Jongil.
 
After an hour of looking, Youngho's legs got tired, so he sat in a little café and drank Turkish traditional chai tea. While looking around, he saw a little sales stall without any customers. There was a thin, dark-skinned, teenage looking girl who had opened a narrow sales stall. Out of sympathy, Youngho walked toward her.
There was a reason that people did not stop to see what she was selling. She didn't have any sales stand and the items that she put on a cloth on the ground looked awful.
She had a stained kettle and lamp, old leather shoes, little copper plates and so on. Those were not in the quality for sales. It looked like she had just swept her house clean to avoid starving. The girl spoke to Youngho in Turkish which Youngho couldn't understand but her face was showing how desperate she was.
The weather was pretty chilly but what she was wearing looked so thin that it couldn't possibly keep her warm. Youngho almost wanted to take off his own clothes and put it on her body. While shaking her body in cold, the girl's eyes looked so desperate for money. Youngho couldn't just pass by her.
He did not want to hurt her feelings by just giving her money, so he pointed at a dirty ring to show his intention to buy.
The silvery ring had a black rock in the middle. Even though it was not visible from the dirt on the ring, there were engraved patterns on it. She politely gave him the ring in her two hands, and started explaining about the ring but it was no use for both of them.
Mustafa who was watching them from a distance, came to help Youngho and the girl.
"Lee, she is saying that this ring is a relic of the family and she will give it to you if you need it. Since she doesn't know how to price it, she will take whatever you give."
Because the ring was so old and shabby, she did not know how much she should call for the price. Her eyes facing Youngho looked sad. They were telling Youngho that she would die if she didn't sell anything today, so Youngho decided to be generous to her.
"I don't know how much this ring costs but if this is a relic of your family, this probably means a lot to you. How about I buy this for $200?"
"Lee, what are you saying? This costs only a few dollars, why would you pay that much of money for this? Are you still drunk?"
Mustafa, not knowing what Youngho was thinking, tried to stop the bargain.
"Brother Mustafa, I can't just pass by her desperate face. Just interpret this for me."
At Youngho's serious face, Mustafa shrugged his shoulders and explained to her how much Youngho will be paying in Turkish 'lira*.'
The girl's eyes got bigger and soon, tears welled up in her eyes. Youngho was not sure if she was touched or if she was sorry for her poor status.
"What did you tell her?"
"I told her you are paying more because she reminded you of your little sister in Korea. It's about 600 lira, it is about two months' rent of a house on the outskirt of the town."
"Well, her eyes wouldn't let me go."
She carefully put the money in the pocket inside her jacket as if it was her treasure. Then she started to pick up her belongings on the ground and put them in a leather bag.
 
Youngho quickly went to a kebab store nearby and brought a bottle of water and kebab to the girl. He sat down on the ground and gave some to the girl. The girl was reluctant at first but she gladly received the bottle and food.
Youngho signed with his hands to eat but the girl shook her head and spoke speedily in Turkish. Mustafa was startled by Youngho's actions and stopped him.
"She is saying she will eat that with her little siblings at home. Let her go now."
Jongil weirdly looked at Youngho's actions as well.
"Hey Jongil, can you bring me some more kebab? I will hold her for now."
"You crazy, you are being strange. You want to save all of the poor people in Turkey?"
Park Jongil looked at Youngho as if he was being nonsensical.
"Just bring me the stuff, dude. I can't let her go like this."
Soon, Jongil came back with a big bag of kebab in his hand.
Youngho took all the stuff out of her bag and put the kebab in there instead. Then he said he would buy all of the rest. She shook her head hard with tears in her eyes. Her eyes were saying it was enough money for her.
However, Youngho almost forcefully took her stuff and handed in $500 in her hands. Youngho had given her kebab because she looked like she missed her lunch, but she couldn't even eat the food for herself. She tried to take it home to share with her siblings. Youngho was touched by her actions and felt bad for her. Seeing her like that, Youngho could not let her go.
Knowing that he can't stop Youngho, Mustafa just watched him in silence.
Before the girl left, Youngho gave his business card to her. He told her through Mustafa to call him when she needs help. The girl smiled.
It was Sunday, March 30th in 2011.
It was the day that he met Fatima for the first time in the flea market like a destiny.

***

In the hotel room, Jongil talked to Youngho, who was cleaning the stuff he bought with soap in the bathroom.
"Why did you act like that in the market?"
Jongil's was curious because he had never seen Youngho acting that way.
"I wanted to give these to Yunsuh. She likes vintage."
"You know what I'm talking about. Since when did you become a philanthropist?"
"Come on man, she was desperate. If I didn't help her, she would've been devastated. You should've looked at her eyes. You'd never know since you are so busy chasing girls' behinds."
Youngho had a reason, but he browbeat Jongil because he was embarrassed.
"All right, all right. I didn't see that because I was only looking at Turkish girls like a dog in the mating season."
Jongil continued with a straight face.
"But don't you think you gave too much?"
As Youngho showed the things he just cleaned, Jongil looked surprised.
"Look at this. They are worth the money."
After getting all the dirt out of the things he bought, they all looked out of ordinary. They were at least hundreds years old.
Although they were useless now, Youngho thought that they would make great display decorations.
The ring he bought at first looked brand new after cleaning it with toothpaste, so Youngho put in on his left middle finger. It fitted well.
Youngho cleaned the rest of the things; three other rings, four pairs of faded leather shoes with antique patterns on, a little silvery kettle, and some copper plates. Then he dried them with a hair dryer.
Park Jongil who was sleeping lightly yelled at Youngho.
"Just go to sleep now! We have to get up early in the morning to look around Istanbul tomorrow!"
"You will be in Armenia for four more years. Why are you in such hurry? You can look around here on your next vacation. I will be sitting in a museum all day long tomorrow."
"You are no help. I've got to upload pictures of me travelling around the world. Just sleep. We will start touring from 7 AM."
Jongil, being sly just the way he was, wanted to brag around.
He's going to make it seem like he has been in Istanbul for months after being here for days, thought Youngho.
Exhausted by the day's event and by the hangover from the previous day, Youngho slept like dead and woke up in the morning.
His body was refreshed like never before.
Jongil was taking a shower while singing in the bathroom. Jongil had a charming voice that even made Youngho humming along.
"Get out quickly dude. I need to dump."
"Don't say that in this luxurious hotel."
Jongil continued as dancing to his tune.
"Youngho, I'm feeling great this morning. Why don't we go talk to girls today?"
Since Karajan was not reacting to his affection, Jongil wanted to hit on other girls in Istanbul, but Youngho wouldn't budge.
Jongil was renowned as a womanizer among his friends. He had broken many hearts of Yunsuh's friends back in Korea.
"Jongil, I've got to punish you today for the girls you made cry."
Spoke Youngho as he chocked Jongil's neck. Then Jongil made exaggerating groan. Jongil was a good-looking, smart guy with a great voice. There was no wonder that superficial girls would fall for him. If he had better support, Jongil was a guy who could have gone to a good college but he never did.
Even though he had never been to a college, Jongil spoke English so well for a person who learned it only for six months. Youngho looked at him in jealousy. Sometimes Jongil's English sounded better than Youngho who majored in English Literature.
Jongil's outstanding ability in languages showed when learning Armenian too. Jongil, who recently started learning Armenian from his English teacher, was now at the level to boss around his trainees in Armenian.

If you are a modern fantasy/adventure lover, you will enjoy learning about different regions and cultures in Eurasia and Eastern Europe as Youngho travels around the places. Happy reading! 

*Disclaimer: The following contains depictions of religion and ethnic disputes. We do not support the author's views, we are only translating and editing the novel. This fictional novel is inspired by real-world people, places, and events — the author has taken these people, places, and events and embellished them as characters with conversations and backgrounds as done in fiction.

Watching my great lord and the deserter hover over the little ones was a tad thrilling if I do say so myself, the father was clearly excited to name the children, hopefully, he realized what a great burden this was.

A true responsibility, it was the first thing a parent bestowed a child that would follow them for the rest of their lives. 

A terrible name meant a terrible life especially on the social scene and there was a special place in hell for the parent that named their children the absolute most ridiculous name they could think of in the name of being unique or as a gag.

Like the parents that named a poor girl B.J Cobbledick, that girl grew up to be a serial killer and honestly, we weren't even surprised. 

Who wouldn't be angry with the world with such a name? So when she showed up at our gates frankly neither of us were surprised. I personally led her to the seventh circle of hell where she now burns in the bloody sulphur pools.

I hope you didn't expect us to be lenient just because she had a terrible name, that woman murdered seventy cuckolds, bit of all of their 'Third legs' during fellatio and left them for dead she deserved to burn but I at least gave her the honour of a proper send of by one of Lucifers top Lieutenants, myself.

The Great Chu!

She should be honoured that I threw her in the bubbling sulphur pool with my own tentacles.

"I know! let's call the littlest one Aizen, Li Aizen"

Lucifer didn't seem displeased, personally that little purple egg was my favourite! When he hatched he would be an adorable little boy I just knew it!

The shell of his purple egg was still opaque with the tiniest of black swirls so he would probably take much longer to hatch compared to his big brother who was going to pop out any day now.

"Cute...but wheres the destructive appeal? He will be my grandson after-all a name needs to send fear into the very bones of the world!"

"Grandmaster of the creepiest and the spookiest, Aizen was the name of a great warrior who used his intellect and awesome power to evolve into the greatest being,"

"How come I've never heard of him?"

"He is a recent villain, his atrocities happened in 2016."

"Ah," Lucifer nodded, "I haven't logged the records in a few centuries I must have missed him, is he still alive?"

"Yes, but he is in prisoned he probably will soon though."

"Ah, I shall personally fetch him then, perhaps I'll make him a Lord."

Li Aizen, a clever warrior, my favourite one had such a fine name already. I must have been smiling like an idiot even my tail was wagging, 

How unladylike.

"Nurse Chu, when will they hatch?"

"Little Aizen will probably hatch in a week or two..."

I pointed a tail at his older brother, "He can hatch any moment now,"

"What?!"

"Do not worry, he already has a name, Weizhi, the dark son of the dark lord!" I squealed it had been Lucifer's pick he had spent days agonizing over the right name even helping him cast a spell that would make lightning flash in the sky whenever he mentioned his name, he was the eldest he would have to have a little extra something to protect his siblings after all and what better way to strike fear into the very heart of your enemies than by having the most powerful of the natural elements respond to your very name!

The mighty Li Weizhi!

Li Jun wasn't as impressed as I'd hoped he'd be,

"Oh, that is a fine name mighty great and powerful Lord but tomorrow?!"

He actually seemed rather stressed, 

"I have to buy clothes and diapers and baby formula what do they even eat?!"

They both turned to me, really...men had no clue about raising babies…

"Eh,  milk is fine for the first three weeks."

The deserter Li Jun was very stressed, at last, he had realized the magnitude of his responsibilities and like an egg being flattened by a monster truck, he would begin to crack under the pressure.

"How am I going to afford all of this stuff? I'm still in college! Well, I can drop out then work full time-"

"Baaa! Absolutely not! the father of my grandkids will not be a college drop out!" Lucifer bellowed, I wholeheartedly agreed.

"Of course we'll participate in their rearing Little Li Jun, you haven't proven your responsible enough to handle this job."

"great! Lord Lucifer loan me your credit card!"

"Excuse me?"

"I have to buy my children clothes to welcome them into the world and diapers, a lot of diapers, Great sir please help me for I am not worthy,"

I could see the irritation in my great master's face but he sighed in agreement, handing over a black card to the now pale Li Jun,

"A black card?!" he squeaked hands trembling at the little plastic, I wasn't quite sure what the fuss was about master had many such cards...

"Did you really think the lord of Gluttony and greed would have anything less?" he stated proud yellow eyes gleaming in pride

"Of course not Dear Father in law, and as for my final request I kindly beg thee," Li Jun said making quite a show bowing and all, 

"Take me to a mall, I really doubt I can get this stuff in hell."

My great master huffed in resignation, he wasn't fond of going to the human world but their new mission was too important he would stomach the discomfort and go shopping.

My tail started wagging again in sheer excitement, ugh how unladylike.

It was a grand sacrifice for a worthy cause!

My great Lord Lucifer would indeed today, go shopping at a mall.

Dear diary,

Today I was dragged into hell by a seven-foot tall man with four horns who yelled at me for abandoning my children.

Do you remember Yu Yang? yes, apparently she was a spider demon who got pregnant after our one-night stand and had a litter of seven babies...

Seven demon babies who are going to rule the underworld someday...

I'm not gonna lie, I am scared but I will take responsibility and raise these children the best I can.
---------------------------------------------------------

After a one night stand, he can barely remember... Li Jun is accused of impregnating Lucifers beloved daughter and leaving her to raise seven demon kids on her own now, so Li Jun is dragged to hell by Lucifer himself and ordered to be a good father or burn in the fires of hell.

With these limited options he accepts responsibility to become a single mortal father to seven demon children
