Interstellar travel.  Life extension medicines.  Advanced AI's

All of these meant nothing to Jayden, she had been born too soon, her body unable to process the new technology.  She was approaching the end of her life and had a choice to make.  Deep Dive VR had progressed and real digitization and uploading was now an option for those unable to use life-extension treatments.

For all the science the Human race had developed, Jayden was forced to take a different path.  She would be digitized and explore a new world.  One where cultivation and dinosaurs blended together.

The next couple of days went by peacefully. Han Xiao's daily routine now included going to the junkyard every morning to produce guns. He was paid in cash daily after each session, and was able to salvage a number of spare parts for creating the rover. He had already begun to craft some of its parts, but was holding back on assembling it.
Old Man Lu would occasionally lurk around to spy on Han Xiao as he worked. He was trying to figure out Han Xiao's background from his craftsmanship. However, because Han Xiao was self-taught, his efforts were in vain.
Tall Old Man frequently came over to compete with Old Man Lu at 5 in a Row, which Han Xiao found hard to understand. Is 5 in a Row that fun? Tall Old Man also gradually began to converse with Han Xiao more, and Han Xiao was more than happy to entertain him. Everything was going according to plan.
For Mechanics, crafting rewarded the most experience, followed by enhancement, repairing, and lastly, assembly.
As Han Xiao had no way of acquiring advanced knowledge for now, he decided to use his accumulated experience points to raise the 3 skills of [Beginner Machinery Affinity Lv. 3], [Basic Combat Lv. 8], and [Basic Shooting Lv. 6] to close to max level, and he gained quite a number of Potential points from this.
The prerequisite for advancing to a [Trainee Mechanic] happened to be unlocking [Intermediate Machinery Affinity], which required Lv. 5 in [Beginner Machinery Affinity]. Machinery Affinity was one of the common prerequisites for many blueprints and skills.
Although Han Xiao now had a whopping 15 Potential points, which seemed a lot, it was always better to save some for rainy days. This was something that he had learned the hard way.
To think I actually had to spend over tens of millions of Enas (universal currency) just to buy Water of Lethe to reset my Potential points back then!
At Kero Junkyard, Han Xiao had been busily producing guns all morning.
When he was about to leave, Raccoon passed him a stash of money that he pocketed without counting.
"That should be enough for today. I'll make a move first," said Han Xiao.
"Thank you for your contribution. We don't need any more guns for the time being. However, our deal is still valid. You can continue to salvage any junk parts."
Now that Han Xiao had served his purpose, Raccoon planned to get rid of him. However, it was not time yet. Raccoon was an extremely cautious person.
"Fine by me," replied Han Xiao, who saw through his intentions.
He left the junkyard, remembering to make a few extra turns to shake off his tail before coming to a large mechanic market.
This market was popular among students from the Western Capital School and the Mechanic School due to the variety of machine parts and metals it offered.
Han Xiao spent all of the 70,000 Aquamarine Dollars that he had earned to buy the remaining materials that he needed for both the rover, as well as another Lightweight Mechanical Arm.
After obtaining the materials, he returned to his room to continue working on them.
…
A few days later, Han Xiao had finished crafting all of the rover's parts, and he was now assembling the robot in his room.
1.2 meters tall and armor-plated to protect its interior. Its top half was the shape of a person, except that it didn't have a neck. It ran on a basic integrated circuit.
It had two sectioned mechanical arms that could bend and rotate like a person's, and its fingers were remodeled by Han Xiao into guns. Its torso could also rotate 90 degrees, and was inlaid with magazine compartments.
Instead of legs, it moved on tank tracks.
The system prompted Han Xiao to name his creation. Adopting his past naming style, he named it "Rover 1".

The name [Rover] is not exclusive to one type of robot.
——————————————————————
The key materials used to craft Rover 1 were two common materials: steel and plastic resin. If Han Xiao had used a higher quality steel alloy, Rover 1 would have higher durability and defense. Nevertheless, he would be able to update or upgrade the rover with better parts when he got them to keep it relevant. This was a selling point of Mechanics.
The number of modules that could be installed on robots, vehicles, and mobile suits, was limited by their 'Energy Capacity'. Beside the quality of the energy source itself, 'Energy Capacity' could be upgraded by 'Energy' talents. Rover 1's energy source was a standard battery unit, so its Energy Capacity was low.
Completing the rover rewarded Han Xiao with 24,000 exp.
The following day, Han Xiao finished crafting the Lightweight Mechanical Arm.
_____________________
You have crafted Lightweight Mechanical Arm (Left), gaining 2,500 exp.
——————————————————————
His second Lightweight Mechanical Arm was still a left arm, like before. However, the materials he had used to craft it were lower in quality than before, causing it to have a lower grade.
_____________________
Lightweight Mechanical Arm (Left)
Grade: Common
Base Stats: 28-45 Damage, 8-12 Defense, 26 Power Output, 205/205 Durability
Prerequisite(s): 23 STR
Bonus Stats: -4 Attack Speed
Length: 0.51m
Weight: 6.1kg
Additional Effects: Bonus +6 STR
——————————————————————
Currently, Han Xiao strongest form of combat was melee combat, so the Lightweight Mechanical Arm suited him well.
Mechanics that favored melee combat were known as Mecha-warriors. Han Xiao did not intend to walk down this path as it was long-ranged capabilities that Mechanics truly excelled in, after all. However, since Mecha-warriors was the style that offered low level Mechanics the highest combat prowess, it would have to do for now.
Han Xiao hid the Lightweight Mechanical Arm before heading downstairs. Lu Qian was engaged in a conversation with a customer who kept on glancing at Han Xiao when he appeared. He was clearly yet another agent from Division 13.
Division 13 had, over the past few days, sent many undercover agents to spy on Han Xiao, but since Han Xiao was a tough nut to crack, they were now attacking from a different angle.
"Why are there so many people asking about you?" asked a puzzled Lu Qian when the agent left.
"Well, I'm popular."
"But they're all guys."
Han Xiao froze up.
"It's not what you think-"
"Don't worry! I won't judge you," replied Lu Qian as she started giggling.
Why are you giggling like that!
Suddenly, Han Xiao's turned serious. He had received a system alert.
_____________________
You have triggered the Class-E Mission, [Assailants!]. Accept/Reject]
——————————————————————
Han Xiao was bewildered. What could have triggered such a mission?
"Accept."
_____________________
Mission Synopsis: The bounty on your head is being eyed. Your enemies are near and they are hiding in the shadows. Meanwhile, a certain group of people has been watching you to assess your potential. What will you do?
Requirement: Avoid death
Reward: 10,000 experience
Bonus Reward: 1x Skill Level-up Card (Basic)
——————————————————————
Han Xiao rolled his eyes at the dramatic synopsis.
The 'group of people' referred to in the synopsis most definitely referred to Division 13. Han Xiao put the clues together and conjectured that Division 13 could have leaked intel on him in an elaborate set-up to test his combat strength. However, if that were the case, the people after him must not be too strong. After all, Division 13 wouldn't risk things blowing up in the city.
Although Han Xiao wasn't interested in typical Class-E mission rewards, the bonus reward caught his eye. A Skill Level-up Card was certainly something handy to have.
If a mission had a bonus reward, it meant that there was a secret condition to fulfill. Han Xiao guessed that this mission's secret condition was most likely to kill all of his assailants.
"Since the enemy could appear at any moment, I'd better not stay in the workshop."
Han Xiao didn't want to rely on Old Man Lu. After contemplating for a moment, he thought of the perfect location for battle.
Kero Junkyard.


What do you do when you wake up and find yourself inside the very game that you love? 
What do you do when you realize you that you have not only become an NPC - you have even been thrown back in time to before the game even launched! 
What will happen when our protagonist's two realities coincide? 
Han Xiao was a professional power leveler before his transmigration. Using his past life's knowledge, Han Xiao sweeps through the universe as he prepares for the arrival of the players. This is definitely not your typical transmigration novel.

AND DONE! The 4th of July, 2020 is when this fanfic is completed!

Sa Nine Star Bay ng Black Dragon Mountain Island ng Virtual Universe.
Kasalukuyang nakaupo sina Luo Feng, Hong at Thunder God sa paligid ng isang lamesa at nakaharap sa isang display. Nagpapakita ito ng napakaraming impormasyon sa sinumang may gustong kumuha ng Universe Mercenary trainee test.
"Ang Universe Mercenary trainee test ay palaging ginaganap sa loob ng isang mundong ginawa ng isang Sector Lord?"
"Sa loob ng mundo na ginawa ng isang Sector Lord, maliban sa mga panganib na matatagpuan sa loob nito, ang pinakamatinding panganib sa lugar na ito ay ang iba pang nilalang na kumukuha ng exam? Maaaring may mangyaring nakawan at patayan sa loob nito at maaaring nakawin ng ibang tao ang mga item objectives na hawak mo?" Napasimangot si Luo Feng habang binabasa ang paalalang ito.
"Kung ang isang baguhang star level 2 o 3 ang sasali sa trainee test ay kinakailangan niyo munang maghanap ng isang star level 8 o 9 fighter at bumuo ng isang squad! Sa pamamagitan nito ay maaari nila kayong maprotektahan sa mga nilalang na may gustong magnakaw sa inyo."
"Kahit anong mangyari ay huwag na huwag kayong papasok habang star traveller level 1 o 2 pa lang. Dahil kahit na suwertehin ka pang makakita ng mga bagay na iyong kinakailangan ay mananakaw at mananakaw lang din ito sa iyo."
…..
Nagpalitan na lang ng tingin ang hindi makapagsalitang sina Luo Feng, Hong at Thunder God matapos basahin ang paalala.
"Ang pinakamapanganib palang bagay sa lugar na ito ay ang mga kapwa mo fighters na kumukuha rin ng trainee exam." Walang magawang iniling na lang ni Thunder God ang kanyang ulo.
"Hindi mo masasabi ang magiging ugali ng isang nilalang," seryosong sinabi ni Hong.
"Mabuti na lang at may dalawa tayong mga tagasunod." Kahit na nakaramdam si Luo Feng ng pressure ay hindi naman siya masyadong ninerbiyos. Dahil noong umalis sila noon ay nagdala si Luo Feng ng dalawang star level 9 na alipin sa oras na mapasok sila sa isang problema. Alam naman nating bumili siya ng isang bulto ng star level 9 na alipin.
Isa sa dalawang ito ay isang spirit reader habang ang isa naman ay isang fighter.
At ang dalawang ito ay ang pinakamalakas niyang alipin!
Ipinasa rin ni Luo Feng ang kanyang mga lihim na training methods na nagmula pa sa sekta ng Yun Mo sa grupong ito ng mga Star level 9 fighters. At dahil alipin lang niya ang mga ito….ay hindi na niya nagawa pang mag-alala sa pangtatraydor ng mga ito, ito rin ang dahilan kung bakit hindi na rin siya pinigilan ni Babata.
"Gumawa ng isang squad na sasalihan ng star level 8 o 9 na fighters?" tawa ni Thunder God. "Hahaha, mabuti na lang at mayroon kang mga aliping kagaya nila."
"Oo, kaya hindi na natin kailangan pang maghanap ng ibang tao," ngiti ni Hong.
Ang paggawa ng isang squad.
Hindi ito protektado ng batas kaya hindi mo magagawang pagkatiwalaan ang iyong squad members. At ang pagbabantay sa maaaring pangtatraydor ng mga ito ay isang nakakapagod na gawain! Masuwerte sina Luo Feng, Hong at Thunder God sa pagkakaroon ng dalawang star level 9 na alipin. Sa pamamagitan ng dalawang ito ay magagawa na nilang gumawa ng isang squad na may limang miyembro at gumawa ng isang walang pag-aalinlangang teamwork.
Sa loob ng walang katapusang kalawakan.
Ang mga nilalang na nagmula sa iisang lahi o planeta ay natural nang magkaroon ng malalim na koneksyon sa isa't isa. Sa bagay, mayroong hindi mabilang na species ang matatagpuan sa kalawakan at mas maraming bilang ng planeta.
"Daddy, daddy, bakit mo po ako tinitingnan?" tumalon ang batang si 'Luo Hai' sa kanyang battle uniform.
"Busy si Daddy, ikiss mo nga ako." Ngumiti si Luo Feng habang tumatakbo palapit sa kanyang anak bago ito kargahin sa kanyang braso.
Noong gabi ring iyon ay sumakay sina Luo Feng, Hong at Thunder God sa isang spaceship paalis sa Bai Lan Star.
Kinakailangan niyong ayusin ang inyong papeles sa totoong buhay para magkaroon ng Adventurer status sa Universe Mercenary Alliance. Sa pamamagitan lang ng pagkakaroon ng adventurer status ay doon niyo magagawang makakuha ng trainee test. Kasalukuyang papunta sina Luo Feng, Hong at Thunder God sa Dragon Star.
...
Makalipas ang sampung araw.
Nagmukhang isang palasyo ang Universe Mercenary Alliance station sa Dragon Star. Pumasok dito sina Luo Feng, Hong at Thunder God kasama ang dalawa nilang star level 9 bodyguards.
"Ang dami ng tao dito ah," sabi ni Luo Feng.
"Para itong dagat ng tao." Nahilo ng kaunti sa dami ng tao si Thunder God.
Maraming bilang ng tao ang pumasok sa Universe Mercenary Alliance building, at nasa 80% sa kanila ay pumuunta para makuha ang kani-kanilang adventurer status! Kasalukuyang nasa gitna sina Luo Feng kasama sina Hong, Thunder God at ang dalawa nilang bodyguard sa dagat-dagatang tao na ito, pumila sila kasama ang iba't ibang klase ng mga lahi ng tao at sa wakas ay nagawa nilang matapos ang lahat para makuha ang adventurer status sa loob ng isang oras.
"Adventurer card, isa itong adventurer card?" Tingin ni Thunder God sa card na nasa kanyang kamay.
"Huwag mo iyang walain, mahirap ding kunin ang card na iyan," tawa ni Luo Feng. "Tara na, magregister na tayo para kumuha ng Universe Mercenary trainee test."
Napakarami ng bilang ng mga taong nagregister para makuha ang adventurer status.
Pero hindi naman ganoon karami ang mga taong nagreregister para sa universe mercenary test. Hindi na kinakailangan pang pumila nina Luo Feng at ng kanyang mga kasama para makapagregister dito.
"Isang star level 2 spirit reader, isang star level 2 fighter, isang star level 1 fighter, isang star level 9 fighter at isang star level 9 spirit reader. Naabot niyong lahat ang mga requirements para sa mercenary trainee test. Kinakailangan niyo na lang magbayad ng 10,000 Black Dragon dollars bawat isa."
"Okay."
"Naririto na ang lahat ng specifics sa darating niyong exam. Basahin niyo ito sa libre niyong oras."
Matapos i-scan ang mga adventurer cards ng lima ay agad na naipasok ang kani-kanilang numbers sa universe mercenary trainee test system kaya maaari na silang sumali sa gaganaping exam.
Pumasok sina Luo Feng, Hong, Thunder God at ang kanilang bodyguards sa isang bar sa tabi. At pagkatapos ay agad silang umorder ng kani-kanilang maiinom at sinimulang basahin ang mga impormasyon sa gaganaping exam.
"Pumasok kayo sa mundo ng isang Sector Lord sa Cai Lan Star at humanap ng tatlong wind corner stones at isang sungay mula sa horned iron rhino. At pagkatapos ay ibigay ang mga ito sa mga tauhan ng Universe Mercenary Alliance na nasa exit ng mundo ng isang Sector Lord. At pagkatapos nito ay tagumpay na ninyong naipasa ang exam at agad na magiging isang qualified na mercenary trainee."
Ang mga misyon para sa exam ay natural na ginawa para subukan ang mga nilalang na kukuha nito.
Hindi ito isang pangkaraniwang paglalakbay. Ang mga misyong ito ay ginawa para i-eliminate ang napakaraming bilang ng tao.
"Hindi talaga ito magiging madali," bulong ni Thunder Gog bago tumawa. "Wind corner stone at sungay ng isang horned iron rhino? Hindi ba maaaring bilhin na lang ito ng mga tao at sabihing nakuha nila ang mga iyon doon?"
"Tingnan mo rito."
Inilipat ni Luo Feng sa page 6 ang test explanation book. "Ang wind corner stone ay isang espesyal na batong makikita lang sa mundong ginawa ng isang Sector Lord at isang importanteng bagay sa mundong iyon. At ang sungay ng horned iron beast sa loob ng mundong ito ay matagal ng minarkahan ng mga tauhang ipinadala ng Universe Mercenary Alliance…sa bawat oras na makumpleto ng mga nilalang ang kanilang misyon ay agad nilang ibinabalik ang mga gamit na ito."
"Napakahigpit na binabantayan ng Universe Mercenary Alliance ang mga gamit na ito. Sa oras na mahuling nandadaya ang isang nilalang ay mawawalan na ito ng karapatang kumuha ng kahit anong pagsusulit sa kanila kailanman. At sa mga mahuhuli namang magbenta ng mga gamit na ito ay direkta nilang papatayin."
...
Kasalukuyang nag-uusap-usap sina Luo Feng, Hong, Thunder at ang dalawa nilang bodyguards sa nalalapit nilang Universe Mercenary trainee test.
"Mga ginoo."
"Mga ginoo." Isang napakapayat na lalaking may malalaking tainga ang nakangiting lumapit sa kanila. "Naghahanda ba kayong lima na kumuha ng Universe Mercenary Trainee exam?"
"Huh?" Tiningnan nito ni Luo Feng at ng kanyang kasama.
"Ang mercenary trainee test sa area ng Black Dragon Mountain Empire ay palaging ginaganap sa mundong ginawa ng isang Sector Lord sa Cang Lan Star. Mayroon ako ritong…isang detalyadong mapa ng mundong iyon at mga records at karanasan ng napakaraming seniors na nagtagumpay sa mercenary trainee exam," mahinang sinabi ng lalaki. "Tataas ang tiyansa niyong magtagumpay ng 10% gamit ang mapang ito."
"Isang detalyadong mapa? Mga karanasan?" Tingin ni Luo Feng sa payat na lalaki.
"Magkano?" tanong ni Thunder God.
"Hindi naman ito kamahalan, 100 Black Dragon dollars bawat kopya," sagot ng payat na lalaki.
"Anong hindi naman kamahalan? Kukunin ko iyan sa halagang 50 Black Dragon dollars bawat kopya," direktang sinabi ni Thunder God.
"Deal!" Napakadirekta ng pakikipagusap sa kanila ng payat na lalaki.
...
Bumili si Luo Feng at ang kanyang kasama ng dalawa pang libro tungkol sa karanasan ng mga nagtagumpay sa exam habang nasa Dragon Star. Matapos itong ipagkumpara ay walang duda na magkakapareho nga ang mga mapang ito. Maging ang lahat ng klase ng mga karanasang sinasabi sa mga ito. Pero habang dumarami ng dumarami ang kanilang binabasa ay nagulat sina Luo Feng, Hong at Thunder God…dahil ang mundo ng isang Sector Lord ay nagbabago matapos ang kaunting panahon!
Binilhan ni Luo Feng sa Dragon Star ng tig-isang stage 2 battle uniform at tig-isang stage 2 energy (spiritual weapon) ang kanyang bodyguards. Maaaring ang isang napakataas na kalidad ng stage 2 spirit weapon ay nagkakahalaga ng ilang bilyong Black Dragon dollars pero maging ang sarili niyang sandata ay isang low quality stage 3 spiritual weapon kaya ang magiging sandata ng kanyang bodyguards ay mga medium quality stage 2 na sandata.
Sapat na ang mga stage two weapons para sa star level.
…..
Matapos nito ay sumakay si Luo Feng at ang kanyang kasama sa isang spaceship at umalis ng Dragon Star para pumunta sa mas kilalang Cang Lan Star.
Ang Cang Lan Star ay isa sa mga bituing nasa loob ng top 100 na pinakaimportanteng lugar sa loob ng Black Dragon Mountain Empre. Ang master ng planetang ito ay isang Sector Lord pero ang Sector Lord na ito siyempre ay hindi naninirahan sa Cang Lan Star.
"Ao Gu, Tie Nan He, kayong dalawa ay magiging importanteng miyembro na ng squad mula ngayon. Sa inyong dalawa kami dedepende sa oras na mayroong nilalang na magtangkang magnakaw sa amin." Makikita ang lima sa loob ng control room ng spaceship. Kasalukuyang nakangiti si Luo Feng habang nakatingin sa dalawang bodyguards na nasa kanyang harapan, ang dalawang ito ay mga aliping kanyang isinama mula sa Earth.
Kamukhang kamukha ang mga ito ng mga taong nagmula sa Earth.
Si Ao Gu, isang star level 9 spirit reader. Masyado itong payat at hindi makikitaan ng laman sa kanyang pisngi. Magulo ang kulay dugo nitong buhok. Siya ang pinakamalakas na spirit reader sa lahat ng mga star level 9 na aliping binili ni Luo Feng.
Si Tie Nan He naman ay isang masigla at malaking lalaki. Bagsak ang kanyang mga mata at ang nag-iisang pagkakaiba nito sa mga pangkaraniwang tao sa Earth ay ang pagkakaroon nito ng tatlong kaliskis sa kanyang noo. Siya ang pinakamalakas na fighter sa mga aliping binili ni Luo Feng.
"Ang pagprotekta sa master ang ating misyon hanggang kamatayan," sabi ng matandang si Ao Gu.
"Huwag ka pong magsalita ng ganyan, master," dagdag ni Tie Nan He.
"Huwag kayong magpakumbaba, magsasama-sama tayong lahat sa loob ng isang squad ng mahabang panahon. Sa oras na magkahiwahiwalay ang ating squad sa hinaharap at nananatili pa rin kayong buhay kasama ko…matapos magkakasamang dumanas sa napakaraming mapanganib na sitwasyon ay pipiliin ko nang i-deactivate ang inyong microchips at palayain kayong dalawa," sabi ni Luo Feng.
Nagkislapan ang mga mata nina Ao Gu at Tie Nan He.
Kalayaan!
Ito ang nag-iisang pangarap ng bawat alipin! Pero dahil sa microchip na nasa kanilang utak ay hindi nila magawang sumuway sa utos ng kanilang master.
Tumango si Luo Feng sa kanyang sarili. Hindi ka kailanman susuwayin ng iyong alipin pero ang pagbibigay sa kanila ng isang bagay na kanilang paghihirapan ay magpupursigi sa dalawang bodyguards na ito na mas lalo pang magsumikap…napagdesisyunan na rin ni Luo Feng na sa oras na hindi na maging kapakipakinabang ang lakas ng mga ito sa oras ng paghihiwahiwalay ng squad ay mas mabuti ng ibigay sa dalawang ito ang kanilang kalayaan matapos malagay sa panganib ang kanilang buhay ng ilang beses.
"Malapit na tayo sa Cang Lan Star, papasok na ang ating spaceship sa space."
"Cang Lan Star." Napuno ng pangarap ang mga mata nina Ao Gu at Tie Nan He. Siguradong magsusumikap ang dalawang ito para protektahan si Luo Feng sa abot ng kanilang makakaya.
Dahil sa oras na mamatay ang kanilang master.
Ay katapusan na rin nilang dalawa!
At ang kanilang pag-asang makalaya ay agad ding mawawalan. Hindi nagagawa ng kahit sinong master na palayain ang kanyang alipin.
...
Matapos pumasok sa space ay agad na lumipad ang spaceship papunta sa isang asul na planetang mayroong walang kapantay na kagandahan.
"Napakaganda ng planetang ito, kasing ganda ito ng Earth." Tumayo si Luo Feng sa control room at binati ang malayong planeta.
"Napakaganda nga nito," bati ni Thunder God. "Pero masyado itong kahanga-hanga. Ang Cang Lan Star ay mayroong diameter na umaabot sa 32,000 km at ang mundo ng isang Sector Lord na nakatago sa loob ng Cang Lan Star ay mayroong sukat na mas malaki ng 100 beses kaysa sa kabuohang sukat ng Cang Lan Star. Isa itong napakalaking mundo at naririnig ko na magagawa raw ng ilang sector lords na nasa tuktok ng kanilang level na itago ang mundong ito sa loob ng isang piraso ng buhangin."
"Isang mundo sa loob ng isang piraso ng buhangin, isa itong napakalakas na kakayahan ng mga sector lords," bati ni Hong.
Walang duda na napakamisteryoso nga ng mga mundong ginagawa ng mga Sector Lords.
At ang Universe Mercenary Trainee Exam ay gaganapin sa isa sa mga mundong ito.
"Whoosh!"
Mabilis na lumipad ang dark blue spaceship papasok sa Cang Lan Star.


Taong 2056, sa loob ng isang siyudad na makikita sa Su Jin Area makikita ang isang teenager na nakasuot ng combat vest, pangsundalong pangibaba at battle boots na gawa sa alloy na nakaupo sa tuktok ng isang sira sirang six story residential apartment. Makikita sa kaniyang likuran ang isang hexagonal shield at ang kaniyang hawak hawak na blood-shadow battle knife. Tahimik siyang nakaupo sa dulo ng rooftop. Makikita sa mga oras na ito ang kumikinang na kalangitan at mararamdaman ang napakapreskong hangin na kasalukuyang umiihip patungo sa kaniya. Pero tanging katahimikan lamang ang maririnig sa sira sira at abandonadong siyudad na ito at kung minsan ay mayroong paisa isang pagalulong ang maririnig na magbibigay takot sa sinumang makarinig nito.

I call up my internal clock and look at the time. Between the video and our short talk, only fifteen minutes has passed. I was slightly surprised by that. It seems a lot longer. I lay back onto the bed and close my eyes but try my best to get back to sleep. It only took a few minutes for me to accept that sleep was not coming. My mind was still on the fight I had just seen.
Having a firsthand look at how my Trackbot-P operate in the field was a real eye opener and my heart was fill with pride at the performance of my baby. The way the robber managed to smoothly transform between the two movement modes and immediately make the high jump was something I hadn't count on. Add that to the fact that the move help an ABS-4, you can say it is a suit full of surprises. However when I think about it, I could see that there was no reason why the operator couldn't do it.
Transforming technology had been around since the Clockwork Age and though the tech comes with some drawbacks, it is widely considered to be a perfected technology. That is one of the reasons why most people no longer tinker with it. Most people believe there's not much more they can do with it. I managed to do it.
When a machine using transforming technology undergo transformation, there is a slight delay in the controls. In a way, that makes sense. When the machine is between modes, there is no controls so the delay is widely accepted. Most considered the drawback of a few seconds to be so minor it made no sense to correct it. Transforming technology is after all just a niche technology that most people don't use right?
I did. It wasn't anything groundbreaking, I just use my tinkering skill to ensure a smoother transition between the two modes of the Trackbot-P. The delay in the controls of the Trackbot-P was less than half a second and I also made sure there was no jerks in the controls when the operator activate the technology. In a small way, I made a small mark in the history of the technology. I was very proud of myself when I managed to do it.
The death of the police officer was unfortunate but…that wasn't what was occupying my mind. My mind was on the performance of the Trackbot-P. That is the reason why I can't fall asleep. At least that's what I tell myself. Since I couldn't sleep, I brought up the System and took a look at my Jobs and Skills. 
Jobs-
Battlesuit Designer Trainee; Marketer Trainee
Skills-
Battlesuit Designer: Clockwork Technology; Electrical Engineering; Tinkering; Weapon Construction;
Marketer: Quick-Thinking Promotion
I got the Clockwork Technology and Electrical Engineering skills after finishing the Trackbot-P and completing two missions; 'Design a Grade 2 Battlesuit' and 'Create a Grade 2 Battlesuit'. I was happy when I got the skills as I believed they would be useful in the future. I released a sigh and got up. Sleep was just impossible.
I got a quick breakfast while glancing through various news portal. I couldn't find any articles on the robbery. It seems that a simple bank heist was considered minor news in this time and age. Another example that Jaya was right; this happen all the time.
After the breakfast, I threw the dishes into the sink for the cleaning bot to handle and took the lift to the roof. My car was waiting and I set it on autopilot. During the journey to my workshop, I send a copy of the video to Howard. I don't know if he's awake but hopefully my newly-hired security consultant can give me some pointers on what to do. Despite what Jaya said, I can't shake the feeling this could blow up in my face.
When I got to the workshop, it was still dark and I realized I don't have anything to do. I wasn't really thinking when I came here, I just wanted to be out of the house. Now that I'm here, I don't know what to do. My mind was a blank but I know I have to do something. I want, need, to be busy. Alone in the empty workshop, I did the only thing I could. I enter the office and log onto the Dive Designer Platform.
The usual image of the ABS-5 appear and I quickly got rid of it. I didn't need any reminder of the real world. As the program boot up, my blank was still blank. I still don't know what I want to do so I look into my pending mission. I call up the System and look into the Mission tab. I currently have two active missions; 'Create a Grade 0 Battlesuit' and 'Design a Grade 1 Battlesuit'.
After months with the System, I believe I got the hang of it. My father wasn't kidding when he said he did not believe in giving out free lunches. The System he designed do not accept variants of my own designs and this rule applies for to design and production. If only he had spent more time refining his invention.
When I first completed the design of the Jumpbot, the System accepted the design but when I designed the Jumpbot-S, it was not accepted as a Grade 3 Battlesuit design as the suit was just a variant of the Jumpbot. However the reverse happened in production.
I build the Jumpbot-S first so the System accepted it and I completed a mission I didn't even know I had; create a Grade 3 Battlesuit. However when I build the Jumpbot after that, the System did not accept it as it consider the Jumpbot to be a variant of the Jumpbot-S. The System was in a word; stupid!
It takes whatever comes first as the main suit and anything that comes after is considered the variant. I wondered if anyone else has the same problem or are all my half brothers and sisters good obedient little boys and girls who follow the System blindly. I can't help but laugh. The System, magical cards, the magic circle; the world is so much bigger than I thought.
Now that I realized how the System works, I know how to complete the mission to create a Grade 0 Battlesuit. I just need to design a new Grade 0 Battlesuit that has nothing to do with the Jumpbot and then build it. I've been too busy to do it but I am free now. Following a guide wasn't the worst thing in the world to do when you don't want to think so much.
I used the filter of the Dive and select all the Grade 0 Battlesuits in the database. I stroll through them, waiting for something to catch my eye. After looking through over a hundred suits, something did. I selected the suit and look it up. It was an interesting looking clockwork Battlesuit that I had never heard of; The Golden Boxer.

Tobias Wong is a man with secrets. 
He dreams of being a Battlesuit Designer.
He does not hate the government.
And his father is a supervillain.
Then one day, his absent father left him another. A secret so big and powerful, it would change his life forever.

This is the unedited draft of the story. There is a published version of this novel on Amazon. Thanks

Finally after arriving in front of the building with stacks of coins as their logo. Opening the door what appears doesn't really fantasy-esque. My hope of there would be a floating person with wings or something more has been crushed at least the lobby structure is pretty neat with most of it made of wood and the floor is shiny like a bald head person in the middle of a scorching desert. 

Looking around, a middle-aged man comes to me with a smile on his face he's a bald man with an offside belly. Based on my experience the man should be on the level of the manager or equal or maybe higher in the way he exudes on. 

The man asks me what I'm looking for and said my purpose in opening a registered vault. Following the man, he led me to a room with a table and chairs made of wood with a silver lamp post on the wall. It is a simple room with no decoration except for the lamp.

"I forgot to introduce myself it seems, haha, when you were old you start to be forgetful, anyway I'm Hodwart a manager here. So you said before that you want to access a vault, yes? To access a vault you only need to enter the ID and the password after that I will give you the item inside the vault." 

A panel with ID and password shows up after inputting the ID and password fatso sends me. Hodwart smile and told me to wait for him while he goes get the item. A few minutes after that Hodwart come in with a book and said "this is the card inside the vault Mr. Vain. you can take your time I'll be tending the other customers and you can leave the card on the table after you were done." then left.

Picking up the card I see a picture of books, a weapon, and armors plus a stack of vials with red liquid inside. The card itself has a wavy gold frame at its sides and black colored at back with gold coins as the logo. That bastard didn't tell me how I can access the items inside. It's hard being a newbie I need to learn everything again. Sigh. maybe saying openly will make the item come out. I don't know, I guess I need to call him again.

Walking outside the building I felt my noob-i-ness is becoming my biggest problem here. Opening the menu I select the other option and choose the forum. Lots of sections appear and searching for tutorials and tips as the tag. I navigate around the sea of thread to search for my immediate problems and the one that catches my attention was about a warrior that finish his training on the training center and received a skill and art because his final rating is 7.8. 

So my target should be finishing the training, allocating my attributes, and hunting monsters. The training center is not that far away from the bank if I go straight I probably need only a 15-ish minute because of browsing the forum it took me 2 hours to get here.

The training center gate has this statue of a man carved out of a tree, a living tree with leaves as its hair, not ordinary leaves but a spiky one. The statue probably reaches tens plus meter with his arms crossing and the life-like eye looking down on people that want to pass the gate gives the passenger an imposing feeling. Passing the gate I saw humongous open fields with dummies, people shouting, hitting dummies, small statues made of stones, etc.

From the thread, I found they said I need to report to a 3-meter tall human to get a trainee profession and no matter from which side you are standing on you would know where he is from his lion-like roar. Speak of the devil I heard a roar from the center where people swinging their sword. 

"Mister I want to get stronger so that I may take control of my life." without greeting I talk to the big guy with the naked upper body. Showing my determination. I don't even know myself why I said that but his muscular body with his 8 packs and scarred chest trembling slightly. With him over-shadowed me I somehow can see him smile at me. It looks innocent but brutal at the same time.

"I've been here more than eighty years and it's the first time I heard that since I left my tribe in the north. I'm Ax Frostborne. What is your name lad?"

"I'm Vain"

A few notes here; first, English is not my first language and I self-teach my self to learn it. second, I want to be a better writer so any critique would be welcome. Third, prob the most important thing to whom would like to read my novel I don't have a schedule yet.

The man on the telephone called Steve Alexander.A man with a Black suit came into the office.
"You're Agent Steve Alexander,right?" ,he asked.
"Yes,sir".
"You have your first job in the Royal Blue Eyes hotel".
"But sir I'm a trainee ,how can I...?" he dragged his voice.
"We don't have any choice,you are the only one who is free of work.Take this job as your part of training,but don't be reckless,this case involves Government officials and other protection agencies".
"Understood,sir", Steve replied and he turned his back and went to the entrance of the building where a lady in the corner with a oak table called him.
"Is this your first task?",she asked with a expressionless face.
"Yes,mam" he replied.
"You must check-in before you go for the task and check-in after you finished it,is that clear?", she asked with order.
"Yes,mam",he replied.
She handed over a small machine to him.
"What's this?" he asked.
"That's check-in machine" she replied with a tone of you-don't-know-that.
"Oh,yes" he replied and impressed his thumb on the place where it showed by a thumb picture and a green light flashed on his thumb and his name appeared in the computer that the lady looking at.
"Steve Alexander,huh?" she asked.
"Yes, that's correct".
"Your father was ....." she stretched her tone but Steve completed it.
"Yes,my dad worked here,Agent Martin Alexander".
"Okay, that's nice to hear,you must keep your ratings equal to him".
"Yes,mam, definitely".
"This is your first task", she handed over a card that looked like a normal visiting card but instead of the address of the person there were the details about the assassination and how the situation must be handled.The information are,

      Name: Frank W. Rogers
      Location:Royal Blue Eyes Hotel
      Time:8:45a.m.
He got the card and opened his blazer pocket and kept it there.
"You have an hour including the travelling time to clean the scene and you must keep us informed and if you completed this task you'll be promoted form a trainee to an Chief Agent", she said.
He nodded to her with a cute smile and he went to the entrance and a black BMW was already there for him and he opened the front door and flung into the car seat and the door was closed by his firm hand.The car engine roared and the four wheeled monster started to move.It reached the lightening speed ,the driver's focus was on the road and he didn't even turned his head to Steve.Steve tried to interact with the driver.He saw that something was shiny in the driver's chest pocket and it revealed his name 'Max William'.

Steve tried to grow a conversation.
"Sir,I am Steve.Steve Alexander and you're?".
He knew who he is , but he just wanted to start a conversation ,as this is his first time doing his job and he wanted to know about the works and will the driver waits for him in the hotel,etc.,etc.All these thoughts were flying into his mind like the birds that fly in the morning for food.He got no answers from the driver.The driver turned his head to him "We are not supposed to talk to you".He turned his head to the road again.
Steve sighed and after 27 minutes they reached the hotel.Steve opened the door and he landed his foot in the road before the majestic Royal Blue Eyes Hotel.
"Mr.Alexander", someone called him.He turned back it was Max the driver.He got out of the car and ran to him as fast as he could.
He gave a card to him and he went into the car and the car drifted away.
Steve looked at the card. 
            
            Name:Hank R. Patterson
            Designation: Special security force
            Age:29
With his photo.That's an ID card, but he knows that it is a fake one.He took the ID card with him.The hotel had a huge and grandier entrance and it's fully gaurded by the securities and other protection forces.He showed his fake ID card to get the entry.

He used the stairs to go to the the tenth floor.As soon as he stepped into the ninth floor the opera section from the bohemian rhapsody started with a 'Galileo Galileo Galileo...'.Suddenly he took his phone.Its his ringtone.He slided the green receiver symbol to the centre and placed the phone on his ear which was sweaty because he was so tensed by the surprise of the call.
"When you get to the tenth floor,all the CCTV cameras will be turned off for fifteen minutes.So, that's your time you must clean the mess within ten minutes and you must take the emergency staircase, is that clear?" a women in the other end of the phone asked him."Yes, its clear and what about my transportation from the hotel to the agency?", he asked her with a tensed voice.
"A black Mustang GT will be waiting for you".
"Okay,are our guys in there?"
"Yes,they will shut down the CCTV cameras in the corridors.They are disguised as the CCTV mechanics", she replied.
"Good, that's great".
"Okay, you can proceed Agent Steve Alexander".
"Yes, thank you".
He pressed the negative volume button in the right of his phone to mute the volume of the ringtone and the phone went to the vibrate mode.
He stepped in the first step to the tenth floor.
He was pre-planning the methods of disposing the body from the room, cleaning the blood from the floor.So,he looked at the tenth floor corridor, it was deserted as hell and there are no sign of living beings in that floor.
It was bit odd that there are no guards or securities while the Minister was in there.He thought of getting promotions and praise from the organisation, getting nice girls to fuck and lick.He went to the door.His left had went for the brass door knob, it was round, just like a boob of a sexy woman.He was in the same lusty mood.His hand went to the knob.
"Excuse me" ,a deep voice called him.
All his lusty dreams were shattered and he returned to the fucking reality.It's a guard, he was built and over six and a half feet and he had a machine gun in his hands.He started to walk towards Steve, whose heart was pounding as hell.

The hitman kills the person but who cleans the dead body from the crime scene so that no one can find the clues.This is the story about Steve Alexander, a newly employed Murder Cleaner who was caught for the murder he didn't committed.The story spins around him and tells that how he got out of it.

Chen Mu didn't try the card right away but rested first. He needed some time for his perception to be restored to its normal level. But he wasn't idle; he'd already slid the Wheel into his apparatus, which was in an activated state. He closed his eyes and rested while using his perception to closely examine the new card's internal composition.
The vast universe of its energy was like a void filled with fog, all gray and misty. In the midst of all that emptiness, 1,024 round energy wheels roamed through the void like a school of fish. They would gather and scatter in a lively fashion. On every energy wheel was a stream of light, cycling back and forth across its surface like hands on a clock.
That was similar to when he was training his perceptual acuity with those five energy models—especially the fifth type of energy model, which had fascinated him the most.
Making 1,024 energy wheels was his limit. If those were converted into the fifth energy model's energy blocks, that 1,024 would be equal to more than 7,000 energy blocks. That far exceeded the fifth energy model's 5,000 blocks.
Under Chen Mu's fine perceptual control, those energy wheels started to gather around one wheel among them. In the blink of an eye, 1,024 energy wheels had gathered into a circle. Then, still under Chen Mu's control, they suddenly lined up into a square, then a round shape, followed by a cube, and then into other odd shapes…
Something strange happened when Chen Mu formed them into the shape of shooting flower petals. After a jolt to his perception, everything around him suddenly became clear. Chen Mu was startled.
Although his perception had become perfectly sensitive to the surrounding environment, his perception was basically all on the inside of the Wheel now. In that situation, he should be able to slow down the surrounding environment.
His perception could "see" the world outside the card perfectly clearly even though he was deeply immersed in the card. It was so clear it was as though it was being presented right before his eyes. The strangest thing was that when he put all of his attention on some one thing, it seemed to be pulled closer to appear in still more detail.
Very interesting! Although that card had come from his own design, quite a few aspects of the finished product far exceeded his expectations.
That was an ordinary situation. When a card master realized an energy composition he had never thought of before, he might discover its energy compositions would have quite a few characteristics he'd never even thought of. No card artisan would dare say they were truly proficient in the rules of energy. That was currently the most advanced science. It was also the most obscure and difficult area of the card system.
Soon after that, Chen Mu discovered the aligned structure of several kinds of new wheels. The thing that discouraged him was that his perceptual acuity was obviously not sufficient to bring all of the card's power into play. Once he could control the smallest unit of ten energy wheels, that would then mean he had no way to control those energy wheels when they were adjusted to a still finer structure.
Having completed five types of energy composition models, Chen Mu's perceptual acuity had already reached a rather shocking place. But the Wheel had still higher requirements for perceptual acuity!
That hadn't been unexpected for Chen Mu. It was a four-star card, and it was much more outstanding than any ordinary four-star card. It had used up all of Chen Mu's precious materials. It would be common for such a card to have high requirements of the one who used it.
The rule was that the more awesome the card, the higher the requirements of the card artisan. Although card artisans with a perceptual strength of four could use a four-star card, it would be hard for them to bring all of the card's power into play. The consumption of perception would also be a lot quicker than for card artisans with level-five perception. Thus, very few card artisans with a perceptual level of four would use four-star cards in battle.
Card artisans who were skilled in using a four-star card generally had reached level five in perceptual strength. There weren't many of those in the federation, but there weren't so few, either. Zu Ning, for example, had perceptual strength at the lower end of level five.
Card artisans from the Big Six were a lot different from other card artisans. It was like the Cross Section of Styles and that sort of legacy, which had gone through generation after generation of perfecting. Its system went from shallow to deep, from low to high, all having an extremely complete connection with skills. That was why they would often be much more awesome than those using different cards at the same level.
Chen Mu opened his eyes. His perception had finally been restored to its normal level. He stood up and said to Ru Qiu, "Let's go." Ru Qiu assented with her face full of excitement. She was curious to see what sort of effects that card might have.
Just as Chen Mu was going out the door, he ran head-on into a white-haired man.
"Yikes!" Chen Mu couldn't help his look of surprise upon seeing the white mist surrounding the white-haired man.
His gaze fell onto Chen Mu. In midair, the two sides' nearly undetectable perception made contact. Surprise showed on both of their faces. His perceptual acuity was higher than Chen Mu's, which gave him a chill!
The expression on the face of the white-haired man seemed to have become a little confused as he smiled at something deep. The ball of white mist around him started to transform.
Chen Mu's expression changed, and he yelled to Ru Qiu in a low voice, "Retreat!"
Ru Qiu was stunned. Her face, which had just been red as an apple with excitement, suddenly turned white. She ran back into the room with a flustered look as she was floundering to call Bogner's communications card.
Chen Mu immediately calmed down now that he didn't need to worry about trouble behind him. He couldn't change his card by then. The Wheel was what had been activated inside the apparatus! With a bitter smile, Chen Mu adjusted his perception without the slightest hesitation.
"A newcomer? Yikes, it's been a long time since I've run into a worthy opponent!" A silky, magnetic voice came from the within the mist.
Chen Mu's expression shifted. What changed his expression wasn't what his counterpart had said but was his unfathomable energy fluctuations.
Without making any response, Chen Mu suddenly bent at the waist and shot at his adversary like a snake slithering along the ground. He was as quick as lightning as he flitted over. He wouldn't even need to use a card if he could get close enough.
"Interesting." His adversary's speech was slow and leisurely with a hint of praise. But there wasn't the least bit of mercy in his move.
A net quickly appeared in front of Chen Mu. It was composed of countless criss-crossing, glowing energy filaments, and he was certain to bump into it head-on. The energy filaments were incredibly sharp. He was afraid he would be chopped into pieces if he were to run into them.
With his belly pasted to the floor, he used the strength of his hands to suddenly shoot up from the ground, perilously evading the net. He still had no luck; the glowing net suddenly drew together and turned into a sparking electrical rope, which shook his spirit and caused his heart to race as it came rolling up to Chen Mu in midair.
Damn! Chen Mu desperately manipulated the big mudfish card, which abruptly blurred his image. For a short distance, the big mudfish card accompanied Chen Mu's short-range explosive power to achieve a speed that made him drag several residual images behind him.
"You're pretty fast," that detestably smooth voice said.
The sparking electrical rope suddenly opened out and turned into a ball of electric netting, bigger than the one before. It completely enshrouded Chen Mu. Each of the strands was as thick a finger, and it was making a crackling sound.
He was trapped!
Chen Mu actually calmed down when he saw the rapidly shrinking electric net. He saw no way to avoid it. If he'd had the tailless shuttle card in his hand, he could still try to save himself. But only the newly completed Wheel was activated in his apparatus.
He had never thought he would run into such a situation as soon as he came out the door. But it wasn't time to think about the timing. He would just have to try out the new card!
The battle between the two started in a spark of time before Ru Qiu could get through to Bogner's communications card. She could only see Chen Mu trapped in the deadly electric net.
The sparks that would flash on the electric net from time to time made Ru Qiu's pretty face lose color. She was a card master; of course she understood how deadly those electric sparks were! Their high voltage was far beyond those silvery threads Lucky Xi had emitted that day. If they only barely touched him, he would die without a doubt!
He had to think of something quickly! Ru Qiu was so stressed her heart had jumped into her throat.
Chen Mu's perceptual world suddenly seemed to have slowed, and he could no longer hear the cracking of the electrical sparks in his ears. In the gray and misty energy world, there was one after another wheel under his control, which transformed at a shocking speed.
It was as though time had slowed in that energy world, and everything had become clear—so clear you could grab it with your hand.
The 1,024 energy wheels had gathered again in a short time. Each of the wheels was like one buddha bead after another as they strung into a huge, beautiful, round chain of energy wheels.
Just as the energy chain was forming, the streaming beams on 1,024 energy wheels suddenly adjusted automatically. They started to revolve at the same speed in the same position. All of the streaming beams formed into a circle when the huge chain of wheels abruptly lit up.
Chen Mu didn't know what use that chain of wheels might have, but it was the only one of the card's reactions he had tried.
In the minds of most people, round would always be synonymous with defense. Was it a defensive cloak? Chen Mu perceived a bout of energy fluctuation. When he opened his eyes, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry when saw the fist-sized, glowing amber ball floating in front of him.
Damn! It's not an energy cloak! Chen Mu's expression involuntarily changed.


This is both a work of science fiction and an exploration of the meaning of life, love, literature and art. Brainpower is no longer the main ingredient for being human in this far distant future world.  Spirituality, physical balance, and diligence all come together as integrity for Chen Mu, the Card Apprentice.  The cards which Chen Mu masters in his own scrappy way, distill all the powers of the cosmos –  human and nonhuman –  into something that is not a book, not technology, and neither art nor magic, but is these and more.  Learn about these strange cards, which can embody everything you might imagine for the future of technology, but also a future beyond technology which promotes the best, and sometimes the worst, from mankind’s past.

In a dark alley, under the night's sky, a man was laying on the floor looking towards the beautiful moon hanging above. Blood was flowing out continuously from the long deep wound on his belly which almost completely tore it in half. Yet the man acted completely oblivious to his wound as he layed in the pool of his own blood, only dazedly watching the starry black sky.


'The 2 girls ran away. They didn't even look behind once, to the man that just saved them. Well, this is not a had ending. I've had enough of this meaningless life anyway. No family, no friends, no lover, what's the point in continuing to exist.


The only thing that has any meaning in my life is my smartphone, my only partner in this life.' with this thought the man breathed his last bit of life. His conscience slowly yet very painfully faded into the void.


Rex, a small time ex-hacker and a lawyer died there without having much achievements in life. He was an orphan who got mixed with some really shady gang and trained to become an intellectual person. Coding was something he picked up long the way and became extremely passionate on it as it was the only thing he could call his own.


His most prided creation was his customed smartphone, it was something he built after years of research and hard work. But regrettably, the smartphone was also destroyed with a bullet peirced into it. With this smartphone he often hacked gaming servers and cheated on them. 


Well, it could do much way more then that but Rex wasn't willing to do so. This unwillingness came with a price. He had to run from gang. But the irony of fate, he still ended up dying on the hands of some low level gang members who probably didn't know who he was.

*Gegegegegege*(Monkey Skriches)


Within the Great Star Forest, a child back spirit monkey could be seen hugging a tree branch. A larger black monkey at the root of the tree was screaming at him, this monkey was none other then it's father. He was saying 'Why can't you jamp, you stupid disgrace. You Twat, Now jump like a monkey or stay there and starve.'


To the monkey clans faliures were always frowned upon and often outcasted from the clan. The baby monkey up on the tree was thought to be a defective child as it always seemed to be in a dazed state. Other then eating and sleeping it never did anything but be lost in dreams.


Therefore, even it's father hated it to the bone. When his other children brought him glory, this one only disgraced him further. But due to the tibe laws he couldn't kill it directly. Thus, he took it up on the tallest tree's most weak branch so it could fall and die.


'Why doesn't the little fu*k fall? As long as he dies the disgrace of the Spirit Titan Monkey tribe will end. Well, it would eventually fall and die. I better get going...' the large black monkey thought as it jumped away swinging from tree to tree.


The Spirit Titan Moneys were a special group of species that attained child-like intellect during the 10 year ages and reaches a teenager human level of there 100 year ages. This was a huge advantage as all other spirit creatures only reach child-like intellect on their 100 year ages. 


This is also why the Spirit Titan Moneys tribe is more like human societies then beast tribes. Not only that, the Titan blood also gives them powerful physical bodies which is a deadly mix with their cunning nature. There only flaws were there low birth rate and lustfull characteristics.


When the large money left, he failed to see a the stunning scene that occurred a few minutes after his departure...


*Tap* (Tapping on the branches)


*Tap*


*Tap*


*Badam* (Ground landing)


The little black monkey easily jamped down to the ground by tapping on the tree branches to lessen the gravitational pull of the earth and lightly kicked the tree trunk land safely. The black monkey's eyes were no longer in daze, instead glinted with intelligence.


'Where am I? And why do I have fur all over my body?' Rex thought as he examined his body. He was shocked to see the glossy black fur and the four hands. Not to mention he could also feel the tail on his back.


'I became a back monkey?'


'Wait, the last thing I remember was being killed by thugs with a bullet to my chest and a deep cut on my belly.'


As he analyzed his surrounding, he discovered they seemed very familiar to him. Upon trying to remember, he easily found new memory of the black monkey. It only was now did he notice that there was a phone icon on the corner of his eyes.


He willed to open it and a iconic image popped up. Two snakes; one black and one white formed a ouroborus symbol, with two Jade and Grey birds occuping the blank spaces within the circles. 


Rex recognized this symbol, it was his trade mark from when he created cheat mods for games and sold them online. This symbol was printed in everyone of his creations.

'So, my soul took the form of my smartphone and reincarnated or rather installed itself on this black monkey. While the little monkey's original soul was transformed into phone clone soul.' Rex instinctually knew what he was. But he still opened the settings to check the phone info index but found a new tab [Personal Interface] there. Once he pressed it a new box popped up.

[Author's Thoughts: The Smartphone idea came from Smartphone+Hypnosis+ATG novel. I had his permission to use it and modded the idea to my own settings.

At first I thought about writing a fan-fric but soon decided against it. So this is also going to be a original story with a slight fan-fric flavor mix in different forms.]

* (sfx) BAM! *

The police officer's 'cool moment' was shattered when a handbag suddenly flew and hit his face, almost knocking him out.

The police officer was dizzy for a few moments. Dhruva got up quickly while enduring the pain and got into position for a roundhouse kick. Although the tram was narrow, there was enough space for him to perform that move.

In his field of vision, Dhruva almost could see stars circling above his mentor's head and even above them were the words-

'Finish Him!'

It was time for him to use his Finishing Move!

The kick gathered momentum as it almost cut through the air and hit the police officer's face.

KO!

The heavy body fell in the tram, and many people who were watching from a distance cheered.

With the opponent down, Dhruva now took deep breaths and helped the young girl stand up. His actions were gentle, and the young girl was inwardly impressed by this (not actually) dashing young police officer.

"Thank you."

Dhruva said, and he passed the young girl her heavy handbag.

"Your handbag is quite heavy! What's in that?" he asked casually. After all, how could lose this opportunity to talk to a beauty.

"Oh! It's just books!" the young girl shyly said.

Dhruva nodded and handcuffed his mentor to one of the tram's seats.

"Boy! You can't do that in the tram!" the conductor tried to verbally stop him, but with a stern gaze and furrowed brows he was instantly silenced by Dhruva. Beside him, the young girl watched the (not so) manly police officer doing his work with shining eyes.

'What a charming police officer!' she thought.

'What a lawless police officer!' the conductor thought.

The young girl wanted to speak more, but before she could further their conversation, the young police trainee jumped down from the tram and disappeared into the web of streets.

The young girl sighed as she saw his disappearing back, just like those heroes in her favorite novels.

She grew irritated and glanced at the fainted, handcuffed, dust eating police officer and recalled how this person had kicked her. Her anger rose and she walked near him.

*BAM BAM BAM*

Kicks rained on the fallen police officer as the young girl viciously kicked with a red face.

"You dared to hit me? *BAM* You really dared to hit me! *BAM* Do you know who my father is? *BAM* Huh?"

The other passengers along with the conductor shivered as they watched the beautiful and thin girl kicking with hidden strength. They couldn't believe such a thin girl could pull out such vicious attacks!

While the young girl was beating up the fainted and handcuffed police officer, the person who'd handcuffed him, police trainee Dhruva was currently explaining to the head of the police station the adventure he went through a few days ago.

The head of the police station at first didn't believe him, but after glancing through the photos he couldn't help but believe the young trainee. The evidence was there, and he had his own secret intel which had informed him that there were indeed some Civil Uprising rebels in his own police station.

At this moment, a person walked in wearing a long coat. The head of the police station furrowed his brows for an instant. After all, this person had arrived unannounced in his cabin.

But the person in the long coat didn't give him time to think and took out his identity card. The three large and bright words on the card made the head of the police station sweat bullets.

'Anti-Martial Inspector'

The Anti-Martial Inspector was satisfied with his reaction and spoke.

***

Sometime ago, when Param was fighting with the man with the knife and the cashier…

The Anti-Martial Inspector, Jamie Bond was troubled. He felt like he understood his daughter less and less.

His daughter Sarah was a beautiful and brave girl, and was a budding romance writer. Her novels which she pumped out like pancakes were much popular among the youth, and this had made her rich at a very young age.

But every time her father read those titles, he really couldn't help but feel his face twitch.

'The Ninth Young Miss: Taming the Wild Emperor'

'Bringing the Country's Martial Hero Home'

'Secular Protector Gu: Please Love Me 100%'

'The Army General Is Now My Husband!'

Just reading those titles made him feel that his daughter was no longer the innocent youth, and was becoming more and more like her mother, who was an independent and strong woman!

He sighed as he searched around for a grocery store, and soon spotted one. However, the cashier was nowhere to be seen.

Being born with a short temper he grew irritated and cursed the cashier a few times in his mind. Suddenly he heard a loud groaning noise, and he walked out of the shop and looked around.

At this moment he saw a young teen running away with a knife attached over his shoulder. On the other side, he spotted the attacker and his accomplice, who was grabbing onto his own throat with red eyes.

Feeling a little suspicious, he grabbed his revolver and approached the two.

"Any problems, gentlemen?"

***

The Anti-Martial Inspector edited and told them how he raided the storeroom of the shop and caught their illegal supply of gunpowder and explosives.

The head was a decisive person, and immediately dispatched the police force. The police officer named Mr. Water Bottleman was captured and interrogated. The articles found in his house, a batch of gunpowder and a revolver, and his fingerprints on them were enough to prove him guilty.

Furthermore, the illegal supply in the general store was confiscated, and the police were trying their best to weed out the entire web of Civil Uprising rebels in the Community. With the clue provided by Dhruva which was actually given by Param, the police planned to apprehend the suppliers of explosives and gunpowder in a few days.

The head of the police station congratulated the two youths, Dhruva and Param, and promised them that he would fork out some good rewards for them from the superiors.

When Mrs. Purple found out about Param's injury and he and the young police trainee's adventure, she harshly scolded the two and took the both of them to the hospital.

Param received multiple stiches, and was forbidden to make intense movements for two weeks. The medicine provided by the hospital was made out of mutated plants, known as 'Light Plants', and their efficacy was high.

As Param was a poor orphan, his bill was paid by Mrs. Purple from her own money, which made Param deeply touched. He promised her that he'd pay her as soon as possible, and the middle aged woman knocked him on his head, scolding him for spouting nonsense.

Night arrived, and it was the end of the three-day holiday. Although he was injured, Param was firm on his decision to return to the Martial Club.

It was time for him to sign the Blood Contract!

Param's building was suddenly bombed with a nuclear warhead, and in the next moment he found himself reincarnating in a parallel Earth.


What kind of Earth you ask?

The kind where the Second World War ended with a nuclear fight, where Homo Sapiens evolved into Homo Luminous, and where Martial Artists were the rulers of the world.

It is also a world where technology has been degraded, where people still use telegrams, and where things like social media doesn't exist.

Do you dare to explore such a world?
