Next, I should work on augmentation. Using the database, I can roughly achieve a similar result like the augmented contact lens back from the earth. But there are more ways to implement augmentation as the eye is not the only sense organ we have. We have eyes, nose, ear, tongue, and skin as human sensory organs. Plus if we add soul sense, then we have a total of 6 senses. Building a filter or port before or during the time our brain perceives the particular object with the help of senses can be processed and delivered in a more recognizable way.

"ASSIST, create a project to achieve augmented sense using all of the 6 senses."
[Project - Augmentation Senses initiated.]

Next, I should also work on the database of the system. And I also need a few data structures for a specific purpose like storing results and finding of projects in complied format for further usage, a more complex and secure data structure is required for memory storage, exchange, and backup. 

"ASSIST, create a project to research on a new database and new data structures for more efficient storage of information." 
[Project - Research on data structure and database initiated.]

Well, now that it is assigned, another thing is that I have to work on is to able to view, alter and modify during the process of project simulation. Although I can see how the results of projects are concluded, still some projects take time and I might be able to reduce those times if I knew what is happening in the simulations of the projects.
"ASSIST, create a project to modify the 'Project' application such that I can see and alter it during its running time."
[Project - Live Manipulation of 'Project' initiated.]

Alright, what more can I do? Hmm, I don't have a supervising application to keep track of system activity and progress. And I think I can add Monitoring and Log function to record the activity and development of the system as well as mine to supervise my self and the system.
"ASSIST, create a project to research on Supervising aspect for the system and myself."
[Project - Supervisor initiated.]

And what can I do more? ... I think that's it, for now. In soul form, I don't think anything more is left to consider. If I had the physical body, then I would have many more things to consider. Well, I can consider it in the future, when I get a Physical Body.

Two days later, out of the 5 projects, 3 of the project where done, Soul Pattern Verification resulted in a set of 12 patterns acceptable for the proposed soul authentication feature. Augmented Senses and Supervision projects were partially completed, but due to the absence of a physical body to collect data, it was put on hold. The database and data structure project took the most time out of the three completed projects. The new database was a file-archive system where data are stored in memory threads. These threads were mainly divided into 2 types - Digit and Analog. All the digital files and related types were under the first type. and the second type included memories, experiences of a person, sensory information and the likes. These cannot be compressed without losing valuable information.

Nicolae had always known that his body was special. He stopped aging after entering his 20s, he had never been ill, and his physical endurance had always been very strong. 
He used to think that he was the victim of a Nazi Human Experimentation[1] during the second world war, performed by their 'mad' scientists. He never once thought that he was an Alchemist, and that there were other people who were just like him, who could live for hundreds of years with their youthful looks.
His father, Lauriel, was currently the oldest Alchemist in the world who had lived for nearly 600 years, and still they could walk next to each other and look like brothers.
Now seeing Aleksis' rapid progress, Nicolae was very relieved. He never dreamed that he could ever see a patient with a severe brain stem injury have such a remarkable recovery. Today, Aleksis had begun to move her hand in response to the presence of her two younger brothers. 
London, Rune, and Nicolae were moved to tears.
They were very relieved and they couldn't wait to see Aleksis wake up. The sleeping princess had been unconscious for over a month and everyone was very worried about her.
Nicolae hurriedly called the girl's parents and informed them of her startling progress, then he called his father, Lauriel, who could only stay silent on the other end of the line, speechless. He also later informed Terry and Jean in Singapore.
Everyone was very relieved to hear the good news and slowly the gray clouds that had been hovering over the big family slowly began to disappear. 
Everyone could now feel the hope for their beloved girl.
"Thank you for looking after Aleksis there," Finland whispered tearfully over the phone. "I will come tomorrow to see my daughter."
"It is my pleasure, Auntie. This is a very miraculous thing. As a doctor I want to learn from Aleksis' healing process," Nicolae answered modestly.
"Still, we are deeply indebted to you," Finland said again. "We, the Schneider family, amass our debt to you; both your father and you. I don't know how we can ever repay your kindness."
"Ouch, Auntie ... don't say things like that. We are family. Aleksis is my father's goddaughter and he loves her very much. We also owe a lot to Aleksis. Without her, Father might have taken Death 20 years ago and I wouldn't be able to meet him," Nicolae said quickly. "Between our families, there are no debts ... Auntie should not think that way anymore."
Finland smiled at Nicolae's very soothing words. She really liked the young man. Nicolae was like Lauriel, but in a warmer and more pleasant version.
Inwardly, Finland hoped that someday their close family relations could be formalized by the marriage between Aleksis and Nicolae. 
They both looked very compatible for each other, and she could imagine how happy Lauriel would be if his biological son would marry his goddaughter. Caspar and Finland had given their blessings. Now, they just needed to wait for Aleksis to wake up.
"How about now?" Caspar asked in a very tired voice. He had been listening to the telephone conversation between Finland and Nicolae and was very relieved to know that Aleksis was getting better. 
What he meant with his question was Finland's plan to return to Switzerland to look after their children. He really wanted to go with her.
There was no place he wanted to be in this world more than with his wife and children, but unfortunately, he still had to take care of his huge business which was currently hit by a crisis caused by Kurt's sudden death which shook the group. Moreover, his successor had not yet been prepared.
It was actually Aleksis who was being prepared to take over from Kurt in a few more years, but Aleksis was now lying unconscious due to the accident that had befallen her.
Meanwhile, Rhionen Industries, which in recent years had been competing with the Schneider Group in many fields, was taking the opportunity to seize important projects which were initially carried out by the Schneider Group. 
Their goal was to push through their automation projects into many new countries. Caspar was forced to work hard to restore the market confidence in his group.
"I have to go home to Switzerland ... I am worried about the children," Finland whispered sadly. "I hope you can settle your business immediately and come home to us."
Caspar shook his head, "If it is true that Rhionen Industries and Rhionen Assasins are led by the same person, I cannot stay quiet. I will fight them, to avenge what they did to Aleksis."
Finland hugged Caspar for a long time, trying to lighten his burden. "If not for the children, I will stay here forever with you, and even help you in the office."
Finland remembered that 17 years ago she had worked in the same office as Caspar, and they were able to spend a lot of time together. Later, when Aleksis had recovered, she was determined to join the company and help Caspar with the business. She would not let her husband work alone.
"I miss the days when we worked together in the New York office," Caspar said, kissing Finland's hair gently. "Later, when Aleksis wakes up, you have to help me in the office. I can't stand being apart from you even for just a few hours. I can make you my personal assistant. Ben is busy taking care of too many things, I need a real assistant."
"I will, Honey. Later, when Aleksis recovers, I will come to help you." Finland kissed her husband's lips lovingly then let go of his arms. She must prepare for her flight to Switzerland to see their children.

[1]  Nazi Human Experimentation
It was a series of medical experiments on large numbers of prisoners, including children, by Nazi Germany in its concentration camps in the early to mid 1940s, during World War II and the Holocaust. Chief target populations included Romani, Sinti, ethnic Poles, Soviet POWs, disabled Germans, and Jews from across Europe.
Nazi physicians and their assistants forced prisoners into participating; they did not willingly volunteer and no consent was given for the procedures. Typically, the experiments resulted in death, trauma, disfigurement or permanent disability, and as such are considered examples of medical torture.
Some examples of experiments they conducted are:
- Experiments on twins
- Bone, muscle, and nerve transplantation experiments
- Head injury experiments
- Freezing experiments
- Sterilization and fertility experiments
- Etc.

Early in the morning. The city of Lucero was full of commercial activities. The economy of the city was booming and the population rose up quickly compared to previous years.

Business establishments opened up. Workers started to do their job for the day. The native citizens and foreigners continued doing their everyday lives.

Several new towering skyscrapers that exceeded the height of tall buildings of the city are being built and nearing to completion. 

The roads were full of cars and various vehicles. There were also jeepneys for public transportation.

Terrell and Eirwyn arrived at the downtown of Lucero City in almost 1 hour. They asked the jeepney driver to stop. The jeepney came to halt at the side of the road. They got off and walked.

Before, Terrell and Eirwyn needed woke up very early, every single day. They always waited on the main road at the town of Inayauan to hitchhike on light pickup trucks going to the downtown to deliver goods.

At the entrance gate of Lucero City National High School, students fall in line but the queue wasn't really orderly and straight.

The security guards checked the bags of the students who enter the school campus. This was to make sure no student couldn't slip in prohibited objects such as pornographic materials and bladed weapons.

Fortunately, Terrell and Eirwyn didn't have any problems with bladed weapons.

Terrell opened his worn-out backpack in front of the guard. The guard used his stick to widen up the opening of the bag.

The guard was surprised.

"Hahaha! You actually go to school with an empty bag? I think your mind is also empty." The guard joked as he laughed.

Terrell was stunned. He forgot about the in-game inventory. He shouldn't bring his backpack.

Terrell ignored the guard and entered. Terrell waited for Eirwyn at the side of the covered walkway.

Eirwyn followed behind. He didn't bring anything at all. Except, his school ID. The guard saw his ID, he let Eirwyn enter. 

Terrell and Eirwyn walked towards the building complex where their rooms are located.

At the corridor of the main building's ground floor...

"See you later on the gazebo at lunch." Eirwyn waved and parted ways with Terrell.

"Hmm." Terrell nodded.

﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍


Early noon. The bell rang throughout the school campus. The fifth class of the day, Social Studies, had ended.

At the classroom, 50 students cramped inside seated on armchairs. Four ceiling fans kept the room ventilated, but it wasn't enough to cool down the hot temperature.

Eirwyn seated behind the classroom beside the jalousie window.

"Class, your final exams will start tomorrow. Make sure you review, okay? Remember and focus the pointers I gave." Their class adviser reminded them.

"Also, complete all of the requirements needed and ask your subject teachers to write a signature on your clearance if you have already compiled and all is well. Give your clearance to me, okay?" The teacher added.

"All of you must graduate this year. I don't want any of my students to fail. Did you understand?" The teacher was solemn.

"Yes, sir!" The class replied in unison.

"Good luck to your exams. Class dismissed. Goodbye." The teacher waved his hand and left. This was his last lesson for the school year.

"Thank you, sir!"

"We'll miss you, sir!"

"Yes sir, I will not let you down!"

"Hey hey, can we have a group study at your house later?"

"Yeah me too! I can't understand about Humanities, I want to study with others."

"Sure! Why not."

"What do you want to eat?"

"I want chicken curry!"

The class started to chatter and talked about the exams and lunch.

Eirwyn was alone. He didn't have any friends in his class. He was quite withdrawn and reticent.

He left the classroom and walked along the congested corridor, as the lunch break started.

"Damn, I need to study. My grades aren't high! Curse that group projects!" Eirwyn was choleric. His greatest weakness was projects.

He didn't have enough money to spend to buy the necessities. Eirwyn begged everytime to his teachers to give him another work because of it.

Eirwyn went to the restroom to urinate and also to withdraw the money to buy lunch.

Eirwyn entered the toilet cubicle of men's restroom. He activated his Anima. The circuit patterns on Anima glowed with faint blue light. He opened the 'Inventory' and selected 'Withdraw'.

Eirwyn selected 'Yes'. Five 20 peso bills appeared on his hand.

He placed it inside the pocket of his old black slacks.

After he took a pee, he washed his hands and left.

﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍

High noon, the sun is very hot. Lunchtime. The school's cafeteria was full to bursting. The narrow spaces of the food stalls and kiosks were jam-packed with students.

They sold banana and sweet potato fritters; fruit shakes and cold beverages; bread, pastries and 'kakanin'; and lunch meals with steamed rice. Junk foods and soft drinks were banned in public schools.

Eirwyn barged into the crowd. The students saw him and gave way to avoid him.

Eirwyn was quite famous. He was good-looking but his uniform that he wore contrasted to each other.

Before, Terrell and Eirwyn needed to be stint and save the meager amount of money they earn every week by selling scrap metals, bottles, and stuff that can be reused at the junk shop.

Eirwyn came to 3 different stalls and bought 4 cassava 'suman', two burgers and two mango fruit shakes.

He put all of them inside the plastic bag orderly. The fruit shakes had the lid, so it wouldn't spill.

The students saw him and surprised. They didn't expect he would buy plenty of food. They started to tittle-tattle.

Eirwyn disregarded them and he left the cafeteria.  

He didn't want to carry the plastic bag, it was troublesome for him.

He hid in the corner and activated his Anima, and glowed a faint blue light.

Eirwyn opened his 'Inventory' and placed the items inside one by one. It slowly turned into particles as the items entered the window.

Eirwyn went to the gazebo located at the school's park with molave tree copse.

He didn't know someone saw him and followed him stealthily.

﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍

Noon. Even the sun was very hot, the gentle cold breeze cools down the temperature.

The gazebo was the place where Terrell and Eirwyn hanging out at school for almost 6 years. 

No students dared approached this place at lunch break. They avoided the well-known impenicous brothers.

The gazebo was made out of concrete and steel bar post that supports the galvanized iron roof.

Eirwyn sat on the concrete bench. Eirwyn activated his Anima and opened his 'Inventory' to get their lunch and placed them on the concrete table neatly.

He rests both of his hands on the back of his head. Eirwyn waited to Terrell to arrive as he relaxed and enjoyed the time of being alone.

Since no one will go to this place, he opened his 'Inventory' once again. He retrieved his sword from the 'Inventory' to look and admire its elegant craftsmanship.

A dark figure stood behind him.

Eirwyn sensed someone from behind, he placed his sword on the concrete table and slowly turned around.

"Oh Terrell, I've been waiting for you for too long, where have you bee... Oh? Who are you?" Eirwyn was stupefied.

Terrell and Eirwyn, poverty-stricken orphans scavenge trash for a living.

Follow their journey as they strive against their fate and realize their dreams at Stratus Isle.


(Dropped novel.)

It is the year AC 5017, After Crisis, and humanity is on the decline.  It has become the age of beasts.  Through radiation waves, normal animals on Earth were able to obtain several gifts and attributes.  They gained intelligence, sentience, strength, extended their lifespans,  and gained terrible elemental powers.

Beasts of overwhelming power came to being, wolves that casted thunder, apes that obtained the power to wield fire, numerous beasts of the elements had risen.  After the crisis, humans and beasts became entangled in wars and battles amongst one another.  The beasts desired revenge for an eternity of mistreatment of humans and loss of territory.  For human beings, they slowly found that their position on food chain had begun to drop.

Humans found that their weaponry, guns, rifles, bombs, no longer had any effect on these new beasts.  Humanity found that they too are able to use the energy of the elements that the beasts have obtained, it simply took a longer period of time for the radiation effects to manifest within humans.  Alas, it was too late for humanity, they went into hiding as soon as the radiation began to take effect on them. 

The last two thousands years were spent on researching the radiation effects on humans.  The greatest scientists at the time were able to narrow down the elements that different human beings were born with at random.  Fire, Water, Thunder, Earth.  In special cases, humans may be born with the ability to use multiple elements or even rarer elements.

Scientists have called this new elemental energy Primordial Energy, with the unit being measured as Prim.  Every human being born after the Crisis was able to to obtain primordial energy level.  Human beings were a progressive species, they grew stronger and stronger the more resources they obtained.  They simply had to obtain resources and train in order to grow their energy levels.  Scientists have dubbed humans with this energy, Primordials.

Humanity has now been tucked away in the northeast corner of what was once the United States of America.  The cities of old, Washington D.C, Boston, New York City, they are all long gone.  The single last foundation of humanity encompassed what were the states of Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.  Giants walls akin to the Great Wall of China were erected in order to deter the attacks of beasts.  The surviving human race call it the Last Bastion.

The Last Bastion consisted of several pocket cities that surround the core city, Hope City, they dubbed this establishment of cities the Hope Federation.  The government of the Hope Federation managed all the pocket cities and upheld the ultimate goals of the people. Beat back the beasts and expand! Take back what once belonged to humanity!  

With mankind's constant struggle there did not leave much room for entertainment.  Forms of entertainment such as sports became a remnant of the past as humanities sole focus became survival.  It was only until the year 4000 that a form of entertainment was developed, a separate digital space where two individuals could fight without causing physical harm, dubbed the Vortex System.

The Vortex System completely digitized an individual's body and allowed them to project a digital form of themselves into a separate space, called the Vortex.  The goal of the Vortex system was to strengthen and prepare the future youths of the Last Bastion for combat against the beasts. 
 It provided a realistic setting for battle without the the consequence of injury or death.  Millions of citizens within Hope federation were constantly tuning into the Vortex system to watch the strongest primordials..

Every participant was able to customize their avatar's appearance according to their desire.  However, they could not change their physical body metrics.  A person would sign up with a pseudonym and participate in a one on one battle to determine the victor.  There were two vortex systems present, one amongst the academies, and one amongst the general population.  Matchups were randomized, however one could not move up a rank unless they fought someone of greater standing.  As soon as a match began, the participant would have to select what weapon they use.

Two avatars stepped up within an arena setting within the Vortex System. A black-skinned youth appeared, he had dreads and was dressed in tech pants and a hoodie with the sides cut off showing his arms.  Azure Wind,  a wind element user who wielded a bow as his weapon.  Azure Wind was one of the top one hundred combatants listed within the Academy Vortex rankings.  He was famous for his relatively quick matches and perfect accuracy in combat.  By the time one heard the plucking of his arrow sound, they were already down for the count.  Azure Wind, or his real name Zeph Green was part of Nova Academy.  An easily recognizable person within the academies.

The next avatar that appeared within the vortex system was an avatar that was wearing a black cloak.  The avatar's hands were bandaged and their neck and face were also bandaged as well.  It was a ghastly site to behold.  Smoke ushered this avatar's entrance into the vortex.  Black Fortune.  He entered the battle with his weapon of choice, Black gauntlets.

"Why does this guy continue tormenting himself... he already has racked up ninety-eight losses in the past three years. How does a guy with such an awesome looking avatar have such a crappy record."  One male viewer said.  The general populace was able to participate in chat and vocal rooms of the vortex battles which added to the general entertainment of the population. "I think I too would cover my avatar's face up if I was this pathetic."

"Maybe you should praise him for his determination.  Maybe he wants to hit the big one oh oh" chuckled a female viewer.

"What good fortune for Azure Wind" laughed another viewer, chuckling at his pun.

"For Chinese New Year, I don't want red packets, I just want to fight against Black Fortune for any easy win." laughed a Chinese viewer.

"Avatar Azure Wind, Rank 97, and Avatar Black Fortune, unranked, have entered the Vortex" stated the female system announcement. "Selecting stage by random please stand by."

The vortex swirled and the arena soon disappeared being replaced by a grassland.  "Grassland stage has been randomly selected."

"How fortunate for Azure Wind" laughed the viewers.  Azure Wind was a complete advantage being in the open field.  There were no obstacles to hide behind when it came to his arrow projectiles.

"BEGIN!"  yelled the system.

THWISH! THWISH! THWISH!

Within seconds several arrows were flying at Black Fortune.  These arrows were imbued with the wind element making them fly significantly faster and caused more damage than normal arrows.

Black Fortune ran to his right in order to dodge the arrows only to face an onslaught of more arrows rushing in the direction he moved in.

"Looks like this will be a piece of cake for Azure Wind." lazed the viewers.  The viewer room was in full blast at how easy this matchup was for Azure Wind.  One couldn't ask for a better situation.

Black Fortune continued to dodge the wind element arrows until he found a gap in the space.  Black Fortune made a dash for it towards Azure Wind.  However, he noticed that Azure Wind set up a trap for him.  An arrow was flying at Black Fortune. Azure Wind had sent a delayed arrow amongst his flurries to trap Black Fortune.

"He fell for it!" the chatroom exploded.

Black Fortune duck and slid to the ground in order to dodge the incoming arrow.  Sadly it was all for naught, Black Fortune saw another arrow coming right at him between his legs.   When a critical hit occurred with enough force to extinguish the user, the system would declare a victor.

Woosh!

"HAHAHA! Ouch! Azure Wind sure is ruthless, he definitely got a critical hit there!" laughed the viewers.

"Victor! Azure Wind!" the system announced.

While the crowd was still laughing,  a young man left the vortex room within his home   He had brown hair, fair white skin, and brown eyes.  He also had a large grin on his face.  His name was Sage Arrau.

"Damn, another loss, I should have planned out my strategy better.  That damn system, if only it gave me a better terrain choice, how am I supposed to compete with an archer in the open field... Maybe I won't be able to get a win without using my element.  Ehh... I can only blame myself for not being strong enough, ninety losses in a row now..." spoke aloud to himself.

"Grandson, you loss because you got caught up in Azure Wind's pace, you let him dictate the fight." came a voice from down the hallway

A tall elder walked into the room, he had a white beard entered the room.  
"Maybe it's time you admit defeat grandson.  You only have one more chance left until you lose the bet."

"Not yet, Grandpa Claud.  In a battle, he who reveals their element first will be the loser.  I want to be able to win a match without relying on my element."  smugly replied Sage.

Sage stuck out his hand, A black orb emerged from his palm.

She woke to the incessant resounding of her daily alarm. She reached over still partially asleep and slapped the button on top to force the beast silent. She groaned rolling to her back. Eyes blinking sleepily, as she attempted to rouse herself from the sleep she had been enjoying. Her thoughts instantly went to Him. She sighed, and sat up looking around, without really comprehending her surroundings. The room was pretty bare. White walls, plain cot, gray comforter, white pillows, gray closet filled with gray clothes. The only splash if color was the necklace that hung above the bed. A glittering gem hung from the steel chain. A labradorite crystal. Her favorite. It had been a gift from him, when they had first begun dating. She smiled a little, remembering when he had given it to her, but a glance at the time had her quickly rolling from the bed and traipsing to the closet. She chose her normal gray skirt, white collared button up short sleeve shirt, and of course the matching gray long sleeve blouse to go on top. She quickly slipped on the black flats she always wore. A look in the mirror making her sigh. Her brown hair lay flat and straight as always. With a sweep of her hands she pulled the hair up, exposing her features. She had to lure them in. She had to capture attention, but she didn't want to. This had never been the life she was meant for. 

She stared for a long few moments, before turning and exiting the room. The loudspeaker overhead crackled on. 

'Attention. All Blue and Black Class Candidates please report to the board hall, all BLUE and BLACK Class Candidates PLEASE report to the Board Hall. Thank you.' A voice crackled making Aymelek flinch slightly at the sound. She growled softly then turned. Two guards stood a small ways down from her, both carrying very large, sophisticated looking guns, and sporting blue-gray digital camo uniforms.

"Here to escort me, boys?"She stated without humor. The males simply stepped aside, waiting for her to pass. With a sigh she did and made her way through the maze of passages to the Board Hall. Upon entering it was to realize, that, she was, once again in a room full of males, ranging in ages from 22 to 28. She glanced about, eyeing each of them from the corner of her eye, before the guards escorted her to her seat at the front table. She would sit, crossing her legs, keeping her back straight, while simultaneously clashing her hands before her upon the metal, stainless steel table. Eyes seeking the deranged lunatic doctor whose head she so DESPERATELY wished to mount on a very large, very jagged stake in the ground.

"First off, I would like to begin this meeting with a greeting. My name is Doctor Schrackner. I am the head researcher here. Alongside me are Doctor Cameron Sacobi, with her husband Doctor Jacob Sacobi, Doctor Miguel Moskovitch, and finally Doctor Sabrina Comers." He would pause, looking at all of the current candidates. His eyes landed on Aymelek and she simply stared back with an unreadable expression. Internally she bristled, daydreaming of the hundreds of ways she would LOVE to shift and rip that disgusting smirk off of his face.

"Many of you have come from sectors all over the world, having been specially selected. Others have come to us, simply because you have survived this long from the incessant spread of The Virus. For those of you, whom have suffered loss, my deepest of sympathies goes out to you. But that loss, has opened up the door way to bigger and better opportunities." The man would pause and look about at them all. Aymelek eyes would fall to her hands, continuing to imagine them coated in his blood. She smirked but kept silent so as not to call attention to herself.

"Gentleman, my lady. Allow me to present subject 0192. A werewolf we have been able to preserve, perfect, intact, and very much alive." That sneer in his voice. The hint of malice. Aymeleks eyes rose, horror echoed in her eyes, blood slamming through her veins. He was there, in all of his glory. She clenched her jaw, claws sliding from her nail beds, the tips piercing into her palms. Her body shook, eyes glazing over from her human blue-green eyes to her blazing hellfire orange eyes. She stared at her mate, before glaring at Schrackner, unable to do anything about it.

"This subject was captured sometime ago. He has dutifully been placed in a cryogenic sleep, so that we may study him up close and personal. Your time here will consist of training, preparing and studying. What is the mission you ask? Survival. Using this male werewolfs blood, we will ensure humanities survival." The doctor explained. He went on telling them of the gene studies and whatnot, but Aymelek wasn't focused on him. Her eyes pierced through the container, through the goop that surrounded her male. Trained on his left ear. She could swear it had twitched. She concentrated, hard. Searching for the thread that bound her to him.

'Mojka láska? My love can you hear me?' Her thoughts reached along that strand binding to his existence. There it was again. Subtle barely to be seen, but she could see it. His ear had indeed flickered.

'I love you.' Her thoughts whispered once more, her inner wolf howling as she sensed the awareness of their mate. But he was awakening and that could only mean one thing. 

He was becoming resistant to their sedatives.

The beginning of 2012 had come, and these past few weeks had been the most busy for him. There were currently two projects he had to finish, and it was pretty hard to combine the schedules for both of them.

He couldn't even accept a lot of modelling or advertisement projects because of how busy he actually was. Endorsing products was something very profitable, for both his wealth and popularity, so he wanted to try and continue doing so.

It proved to be hard though, he had no time left to rest. If he didn't have a temporary break from training as a trainee, then he would literally drop dead from fatigue

He really admired Kim Soo-hyun for starring in two projects at the same time, it's very taxing mentally, and physically. Although not for long, this short period of time dedicated to filming only was not something he particularly enjoyed doing.

He naturally had been cast in The Thieves as Zampano, and as Lee Hwon in Moon Embracing the Sun. He was following in Soohyun's footsteps right now, and he was going to continue doing so. He had even surpassed him in some aspects already.

It was amazing to see the actors and actresses he had amired/liked when he was on set. In the Thieves, he had Jun Ji-hyun from My Love From the Star, and in TMETS he had Kim So-hyun, his favorite actress in the past.

A lot of idols secretly had a crush on Kim So-hyun, she was adored way too much on variety shows by the guys.

She was a bit too young now though, she was born in 1999, so she was about 13 currently. He would become a victim of a pedophilic disorder if he continued having more thoughts about her.....

There were also a few more awards he had won for Dream High in other award shows.

He had won the Best New Actor again in the 4th Korea Drama Awards. He had also won the Popularity award there. He didn't have to contend against an idol there, so winning wasn't as hard.

He won the Hallyu award in the SKY PerfecTV! Awards.

He also won the Best New Actor and the Popularity award yet again at the KBS Drama Awards. He and Suzy also won the Best Couple award. 

Even the public looked at him and Suzy favourably.

And finally, his own OST had won the Song of the Month award at Cyworld Digital Music Award.

A lot of these awards were the ones Soohyun had won in the past. He had won everything except the Best New Actor and Popularity awards in the Baeksang Awards, he wasn't even nominated for the Best Actor award.

While he himself had also almost won everything he had been nominated for, except for the popularity, and Best Actor award in the Baeksang Awards.

An astonishing feat, but he wasn't satisfied yet. He sweared to god that he would win the Best Actor this year, in either the Thieves or TMETS.

Since he starred in The Thieves and not Soohyun, the role was made to fit him better, hence the script had some minor changes. He was thankful for that, he enjoyed acting a role fit for him more than the ones that don't fit him at all.

The Best Actor award was the most honorable award an actor could receive aside from the Daesang (Grand Prize). Winning it would mean that you are one of the most well-known actors with the most ability in that specific year.

Since Moon Embracing the Sun is about to air, his popularity will once more rise, and this time it will rise even faster than before.

Especially with the older generation, since this drama was more aimed at that age category. The Thieves was aimed at both, only young children wouldn't watch it. He would become a household name after it they had finished airing, and it would become easier to score future roles after 2014.

He definitely would be able to contend toe to toe with Lee Min-ho for The Heirs at that point.

*SFX Phone Ringing Sound*

He got an incoming call from JYP. He picked up the phone, and said, "Hey, what's up?"

"Minjae, you have always said you wanted to become a singer right?", he replied.

"Uhm, yes?" 'Now what is this?', he thought.

"Do you want to debut solo soon?"

...

What is this?

"I know that you're busy with filming your dramas and all, but after you've finished filming those, do you want to create your own music?"

Of course he did!

But, he couldn't.

His plans would go down the drain if he began singing solo, that would simply be too much, he probably wouldn't be able to debut with an idol group at that point.

Imagine if IU joined Twice or another girl group out of the blue, yeah, that's not going to happen. He would simply outshine everyone in that group in the beginning, and he didn't want that. Although some of it was inevitable, the other parts he could prevent.

JYP should also know this, then why is he asking this now?

"You know I want to debut in a group right?"

"Yes, but for the time being, that won't work. I have to find other talented trainees to add to the group, and I'm missing about two or three."

"I'm willing to wait."

"Ehh.. Ok then, you sure?"

"Yes."

"Absolutely sure?"

"Yes."

"Al right, I'll talk to you about the details of the group as soon as I have made it."

"Ok, bye."

And they hung up.

He really wanted to sing in front of others, but if he did that, debuting with GOT7 would become impossible.

His dream was to be an idol and a singer, so he'd rather debut solo only if he wasn't busy with GOT7's projects or if it somehow disbanded in the future.

But, he could create songs already, maybe he could even compose music for GOT7 in the future.

That was his plan after all, to make GOT7 more popular than it was before. GOT7 would become the absolute best group visually after he joined, and he hoped it would become the best in other aspects as well.

To do that, it needed a bigger fanbase.

In the past, they didn't really focus on the mainstream sort of music that BTS and EXO focussed on, with the casual beat drop's and EDM style that was mixed in their songs. They had their completely own style, which was very cool in it's own, but it didn't prove to help them that much as they had thought.

If they did both mainstream music and their own style, they would simply become the best. Include martial arts in there, and you got yourself an ideal boy group.

And he was there to make that happen.

Kim Min-jae always dreamed of becoming a K-pop idol. He tried everything: taking acting and dance classes, becoming better at singing and rapping etc.

He had been a trainee, but got eliminated in one of the yearly evalutions.

Why?

He wasn't good at anything a k-pop idol should be good at. The only reason why he became a trainee is because he never gave up on his training.

One night, he looked up to the stars.

"Give me a chance to fulfill all my dreams"

In January 2018, it was announced that the debut Japanese EP of the group would be re-released under the name Re:Blackpink. The digital version included the same songs as the original release, while the physical version included a DVD containing all music videos and six songs in the Korean language.

On June 15, 2018 the group released their first EP titled Square Up. The single "Ddu-Du Ddu-Du" from the EP debuted at number 17 on the Official Trending Chart in the United Kingdom, making them the first female K-pop group to enter the chart since its launch in 2016. The single also debuted as the highest-charting Hot 100 hit ever by an all-female K-pop act, opening at number 55 with 12.4 million U.S. streams and 7,000 downloads in the tracking week ending June 21, 2018. The single also debuted at number 39 on the US Streaming Songs tally, where Blackpink became the first K-pop girl group to chart a title. Square Up also brought the group their first entry and the highest-charting to date (2018) by an all-female K-pop group on the US Billboard 200, debuting at number 40 with 14,000  album-equivalent units, surpassing label mate 2NE1's 2014 record with their last album Crush which peaked at number 61. The EP also topped the Billboard World Albums chart. In South Korea, Square Up debuted at number one on Gaon Albums Chart. The single "Ddu-Du Ddu-Du" peaked at number one on the Digital, Download, Streaming and Mobile charts on Gaon in its second week, while "Forever Young" managed to peak under top five. YouTube's official tally saw the music video for "Ddu-Du Ddu-Du" garner a total of 36.2 million views within 24 hours after its release and became the most viewed online video in the first 24 hours by a Korean act and the second most watched music video of all time as at June 2018.

On July 7, the final stop of the tour was added for December 24 at Kyocera Dome Osaka as a Christmas gift for their fans, which made them the first overseas girl-group to perform at a domed stadium in Japan. They embarked on their first Japan tour, Blackpink Arena Tour 2018, in Osaka on July 24–25. On September 12, it was announced that the group would hold their first concert in Seoul titled "Blackpink 2018 Tour [In Your Area] Seoul x BC Card" at Olympic Gymnastics Arena.

In September 2018, English singer Dua Lipa announced "Kiss and Make Up", a collaboration with Blackpink for the re-released Complete Edition of her self-titled debut album in October 19, 2018. "Kiss and Make Up" debuted at number 93 at the Billboard Hot 100, marking the Blackpink's second entry in the chart, and making them the only Korean girl group as at October 2018 to score multiple entries on the chart. The song is also their second song in the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 36. It is also their first Top 40 entry, thus, making them the first female K-pop group and third Korean act overall to reach the chart's Top 40.

In October 2018, YG CEO Yang Hyun-suk announced that each Blackpink member would have solo projects, with Jennie debuting first and Rosé next. On the same month, the group signed with Interscope Records for a global partnership with YG Entertainment; they would be represented by Interscope and Universal Music Group outside of Asia. In November 2018, Blackpink announced additional tour dates for their In Your Area World Tour, which covers thirteen dates around Asia from January through March 2019. Jennie debuted her solo single, "Solo", at Blackpink's Seoul concert on November 11; both the song and its official music video were released the following day. Their first Japanese studio album, Blackpink in Your Area, was made available digitally on November 23, and physically on December 5, 2018. The album debuted at no. 9 on the Japanese album chart, selling an estimated 13,000 copies in its first week.

Blackpink made their American debut at Universal Music Group's 2019 Grammy Artist Showcase, which was invite-only and took place at ROW in Downtown Los Angeles on February 9. The group has since appeared in several American television shows in February 2019. Billboard's March issue had with five covers, a group cover and four with each individual member. They are the first K-pop girl group to be on the magazine's cover.

Blackpink's second EP, Kill This Love, was released on April 5, 2019. Blackpink performed at the 2019 Coachella Festival on April 12 and 19, 2019, being the first female K-pop group to perform at Coachella. The EP debuted at no. 24 on the Billboard 200, while the single reached no. 41 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Kill This Love" made it on to Billboard's staff-curated list of the 100 Best Songs of 2019, takes No. 66 on the list, with Billboard writing, "If there were doors remaining for Blackpink to bust through, they were evaporated by the first horn blasts of 'Kill This Love', a song that sounds practically biblical in its sonic might."

The song "Forever Young", released as a track from the EP Square Up (2018), surpassed 2.5 million downloads on December 2019, making it the group's fifth song overall and their second to achieve a Platinum certification for downloads from the Korea Music Content Association (KMCA).

BLACKPINK is a four-member group consisting of Jennie, Lisa, Jisoo and Rosé. They are the latest girl group from YG Entertainment after seven years, following 2NE1. A team of pretty visuals as well as talented and artistic individuals, they were first introduced in 2012 with “Who’s That Girl???” teaser series. With most members spending their childhood in foreign countries, the girls are fluent in Korean, English and Japanese, adding up their international appeal suggesting that they were formed to conquer not just the Korean music industry but the global stage as well!

Time skip, 1 year.

As time goes…

Now I am in the middle of my 2nd year at the academy, a few weeks ago I completed my mid-term evaluation mission. And like last year, the difficulty was disproportionate to my crop, which by the way reached level 4 as planned. But back to the subject, I guess they want to play the same trick as last year.

Speaking of which, in the end if I received the platinum rank beast, and the truth is that it was not bad at all.

It reminded me of the invocation of fire, of the summoner in the video game Aion... Not the first version, the version that had a small lava sword, and had a more humanoid figure.

At first I thought of calling him Vulcan, since from what I have been told there are no females in his race, but then I realized that he currently has no gender...

So try to change your default gender as your race evolves, and it worked...

So after much thought... I decided to call her Hestia, since I think remember, it was the name of some Greek goddess of fire among other things... And you know that I like to name, according to mythology.

Although I currently keep his name secret, since I do not want problems or questions on the subject.

I do not show you the state of Hestia, since being so young, it is destined to change... Since Hestia, although a beast of platinum rank, is currently no more than a baby.

Speaking of changes in my beasts... Luna has evolved and Medea can now fly.

Although Luna is still a Moon spirit, but now it has stopped being a flaming ball, and now has a more humanoid silhouette. It has been very good for her, spending so much time with Elvara and Elanna, since she has served to develop faster.

And the case of Medea, is similar too, since I hear myself talking to someone about how good it would be to have a flying beast as a mount. Medea when listening to me, bought a racial evolution that allowed her to fly.

At first I thought she would grow wings or something, but it turns out that was not the case.

She became a [demonic basilisk of clouds], and basically this racial evolution brought her 3 things.

1st Now Medea is a white cloud, which I like very much.

2nd A skill that allows her to be above the clouds as if she were on the ground, besides the clouds are not affected by their weight.

3rd A skill that allows you to generate clouds.

That is what she achieved with racial evolution, and although it is not the best way to fly, but it is better than nothing.

In addition, that in a way allows flying incognito. Since from ground level, you will only see a cloud in the sky, not a giant snake in the sky.

Although she still needs some practice to be able to increase her flight speed. Since with her current skill level, she is not able to generate clouds fast enough, to go at full speed.

You don't know the envy she gives me, every time I see her sleeping in one of her clouds... That cloud seems so comfortable...

It looks like a Dragon Ball Nimbus cloud... but blank...

How will she achieve that the cloud is not dispersed?

One of my future projects will be to create a Nimbus cloud...

Oh, I almost forgot, I have already started learning forged and inscriptions.

Learning to forge is relatively easy, and we were taught in the traditional way, which is hammer and anvil forging. And the 'magic' way of forging, which is using qi to manipulate the heat and shape of the materials. But it consumes a lot of energy, so apart from learning it and practicing it in small jobs, we do not use it when it is a serious project.

And as for the inscriptions... It's hard to say …

In theory it is much easier than forging, since it is only learning the meaning of the runes (or using a rune dictionary), and then inscribing the runes with a mental image of what you want to achieve.

That is, if on a sheet of paper you put a rune that means 'fire', while you think about how the paper catches fire. You will easily get that when you infuse qi, on paper. The paper catches fire quickly.

That is the easy thing, since it is an example that made us do the first day in inscriptions classes.

But then the teacher taught us that with the same sheet of paper and the same rune. He caused that when activating the rune on the sheet of paper, a rose of fire formed on the paper without damaging it.

We tried the rest of the class later, but we didn't succeed.

According to the teacher, it requires a great deal of concentration and mental visualization. He also told us that these tricks of doing something complex with a simple rune, serves to train the aforementioned. Since when it comes to making a complicated design with several runes, it is very difficult to maintain a mental image of what you want, while you concentrate on all the runes.

That is why I say that it is easy and difficult at the same time.

I currently have several ongoing projects, which are...

Imitate the Gae Bolg spear, project progress - Almost non-existent.

Imitate the Yondu arrow, project progress - Not bad, but I have problems controlling the arrow, since I am only able to choose a target and that the arrow flies towards the target. (Which is basically an enchantment of 'Search Arrow' , copy from a book of examples.)

imitate the Nimbus cloud, project progress - I still can't get the cloud to disperse...

Those are the three projects I am concentrating on, although I also do easy things to practice, things like: Fire swords, artifacts with some pre-installed spell, barrier artifacts, etc.

Besides that they serve me to get some easy income, and some points and achievements.

Yes, when I personally manufacture something that is at least bronze rank, I get experience points and achievements. Although they are a misery, but it is better to win them than not.

Another thing... Although I'm not proud of this...

The speed with which I weaken has increased, and I have been careful not to do more than the minimum necessary training...

Since my current weakening percentage is... 7%.

It seems that as time goes by, the speed with which I weaken will increase... At first I thought I would have... I know... 30 or 40 years? Then I started to weaken and I thought I would be about 20 years old... But now I don't know if I would be 10 years old, before I had to try the trip to the Dragon Ball universe...

Changing the subject, Professor Leonardo is now more upset since I now spend more of my time on other subjects, which are not 'train my body'.

And Lucia is not happy with me either... Since I don't want to do the berserker transformation experiment again...

I think I'm going to lose the little support I had in this academy...

When the universe ends and you are given the option to choose your next life, what options would you take ... Taking into account that you can pay for it.

My level of English is not enough to write a novel, so I've translated it with the google translator, so if you see some strange word or sentence, tell me to keep it in mind for the future.

The first tracksuits with a hoodie Jing Jiu owned had gone up in flames, and the one he wore that day turned into green smoke as well. Fortunately, Zong Lizi bought a new set of tracksuits in the black market besides the beef steaks many days ago to express her gratitude to him.
Jing Jiu gave a very nonchalant response to the gift. It was because he thought the clothes in the underground black market, according to his understanding, were the leftovers of the dead people on the upper level and that they were not clean at all.
Zong Lizi guessed what was on his mind by looking at the expression in his eyes. Jing Jiu brought the blue tracksuits with him only after she washed them with her own hands, irately.
His line of sight passed through the burning wild reeds and landed on the hotel on the other side of the lake.
Zong Lizi lived in this hotel.
Jing Jiu had thought about what had happened that day during his bathing in the lake.
The gist of the matter was: Why did the assassin want to kill him?
When he lived in the underground neighborhood, he didn't attempt to conceal his whereabouts. He had gone to the streets with Zong Lizi and eaten the barbecue twice. If a big gaming company like the Twirling Rain Company wanted to, they would be able to find him for sure. If the inner circle of the Twirling Rain Company had an internal conflict, he and Zong Lizi would be involved even though they didn't wish to. However, they shouldn't have acted so aggressively and employed a special department of the military to deal with him. He went to the network security company today and stood on the street opposite of the Administrative Bureau; and he also went to the Fire-Passing Pagoda…Though the main preacher was a bit suspicious, he went into the pagoda on a wimp. The most likely suspect was the laboratory he saw when he opened his eyes the first time in this world. Maybe, the people at the lab had been pursuing and surveying him ever since he left the lab.
…
…
The red permanent star had already traveled to the other side of the large canyon, but it didn't descend behind the crust yet, illuminating the other side of Shou'er City in the distance.
Jing Jiu followed the crowd walking to the other side of the street, wearing the blue tracksuits with the hoodie covering his head.
He had come up in the early morning, but he had to go down again by dusk. It reminded him of the middle-aged workers who were under a great deal of societal pressure to support themselves and their families, which was often described in the novels of this world. As such, he didn't wish to go back following the same route. Besides, he had only finished reading the seventeenth paper of the third theses collection…Hence, he decided to go through the squared building even though it was full of the gravitational field that he disliked very much.
As he walked into the gate of the Administrative Bureau, the bracelet on his wrist contacted the sensor automatically, giving off a faint "ding". The policeman in light armor let him in with no expression on his face.
It was 1.4 kilometers from the gate of the Administrative Bureau to the direct transporter.
If an accelerating device or zhenqi was not used, it would take the humans more than ten minutes and over two thousand steps to arrive at the transporter.
Jing Jiu connected his awareness to the ubiquitous internet through the ring on his left hand during the short trip, and procured adequate traveling right from the private network of the Administrative Bureau. And he used the rest of time to read a half of a paper.
The bracelet uttered another faint "ding"; the staff let him in the cabin of the transporter politely.
It was a large room with thirteen adjustable soft chairs, provided with many fresh fruits and drinks and grape wines.
The so-called direct transporter was an elevator that could travel to the underground laboratory directly after passing through many levels from Shou'er City.
It would be a long trip, but the chairs and the service were much better than those on the magnetic floating trains.
It was because those who had the right to travel to the underground world through this transporter were either the officials of the government or the wealthy merchants, even the nobles.
Jing Jiu didn't pay attention to the fruits and wines; he came to a corner and lay on a soft chair, facing the outside of the window with his eyes closed.
Later on, seven or eight more commuters entered the cabin. They all found their respective chairs, resting or watching the news after turning on the light screens. A loud voice announcing the news burst out from the receiver in a commuter's inner ears. He was startled and hastened to turn down the volume before he turned to the other commuters in the cabin and nodded slightly to express his apology.
The transporter started to move. Everything was tranquil except for the faint buzzing noise outside the semitransparent windows. It didn't take long before the descending speed of the transporter stabilized; and the air pressure of the venting system was adjusted to the optimal value. The commuters felt more accustomed to the environment; and they unfastened the seatbelts, took some foods and wine and started chitchatting in a low voice.
They all thought that the commuter wearing the blue tracksuits was sleeping; so none of them approached him.
…
…
The transporter resumed descending after it stopped at each level for a brief moment.
By the time Jing Jiu finished reading another mathematics theses collection, the transporter had arrived at the laboratory. There were two commuters besides himself left in the cabin.
Jing Jiu got up from the chair and followed the two commuters heading toward the outside of the cabin. As he stepped on the metal floor, he felt a slight change to his body, which was the sensation of imbalance brought in by the man-made gravity. This laboratory was situated very close to the center of the planet, with a few important scientific projects located there.
As one of the twenty-five principal laboratories of the Federation of the Milky Way, it had a very high status both in the government and in the classification type.
There was even a saying: The Stargate Base existed for this laboratory.
Not long after they had walked on the metal pathway, they sensed a tremor up ahead, followed by an ear-splitting friction.
The two commuters in the front couldn't help but complain after shooting a glance that way.
"Hasn't the laser gun been repaired yet?"
"It's said that it is the problem with the automatic weapon platform. As you know, it's not so convenient to transport the materials to the underground by spaceships; and the resources are mostly used on the project of star chain. No matter how high a status this laboratory has, it's still not as high as that place."
"Nonsense. It has nothing to do with the material. It's said that the automatic weapon platform has employed the achievements of the distant ancient civilization; but the Science Academy has never admitted it. This conjecture is confirmed when they try to repair it."
"Stop talking about such a baseless matter; but I'm more curious about what had happened that day. If they were the monsters of the Sea of Dark Matter, it would be impossible for the news to be censored so completely."
"Nobody knows. All they know is that the president has come. He has stayed in the lab for seven days, without meeting any director of the Base. It's only that he is gone, and has visited the female priest, who is severely ill, before his departure."
Jing Jiu had no idea who the president the two talked about was. After some thought, he believed that he must be the president of the Science Academy of the Federation of the Milky Way.
If so, he was nothing less than an important figure in the upper echelon of the Federation.
Such an important figure came all the way to the remote Stargate Base because of Jing Jiu, of course.
Walking on the metal pathway for one minute, they came to the first scanning point.
Jing Jiu had just procured a primary authoritative right for the lab; so he passed it after the two commuters.
Two formless waves swept over from the both ends of the metal pathway and scanned the bodies of the three commuters, and then faded.
After Jing Jiu ascertained that he hadn't encountered any problem, he began to hack the central network of the lab through his ring. He had procured a higher authoritative right in a short time.
…
…
The authoritative right was a significant thing in this world.
As long as one had a special or high enough authoritative right, they could go to anywhere they wanted to and do anything they wanted to.
For instance, with enough right, one could order a battleship at any time and go to the Sea of Dark Matter to see the empty scenery; one could go to the Main Planet to visit the female priest whom was respected by everybody; and one could also take off a shoe and knock the table with it at the general meeting of the Administrative Bureau.
Sometimes, one could even disregard the laws when they had enough authoritative rights. However, one had to make use of their authoritative right to lock the files on their crimes in the document department with an encoded lock, which would be unlocked only after one died.
There were many ways to procure the authoritative rights. The main way was to contribute to the human Federation of the Milky Way; the more one contributed, the higher authoritative right one obtained. The examples were: inventions in the military factory, years of service on the battleships, killing how many tentacles of the Mother's Nest in a region close to the permanent star, and paying how much tax of information credit to the Federation.
It was true that the simplest way to procure the authoritative right was to purchase it with money.
Jing Jiu could transfer the information credits in the banks into his bracelet at any moment, which was tantamount to having an unimaginably large amount of wealth.
However, he didn't like such an indirect way to procure the right, which was the same as how he disliked the way this world used the fairy energy. He preferred a direct way to deal with things, like killing with a swing of the sword and snatching the authoritative right directly.
The scanning became increasingly more thorough in the pathway, indicating the classification level grew higher and that he was nearing the center of the lab.
Ding!!!
An automatic door opened before him, exposing the scene inside the room.
There were a metal counter and a few micro generators of the gravitational field in the room. It was none other than the same room where he had woken up.
Jing Jiu came before the operating counter and found the computers here were disconnected from the outside world, thinking it was the reason why he failed to find related information on this place.
The ring on his finger gave off a faint glow. He found the files related to himself. After having read them twice, he remembered the digital indicators hidden in them.
Soon after, he connected to the military network through the private network of the lab and began to search for the traces of those files.
When he was in Shou'er City, he had hacked the network of the Science Academy through the interplanetary network and attempted to find out something; but the data were all highly encrypted. It would take him a long time to find the related information even though he had an amazing calculating ability; and it would be easy for someone to discover him. As such, it was much easier and safer for him to come to the lab, which was the original source, to search for it.
…
…
A trace will be left behind after someone passes by.
This saying was often mentioned in stories, and it was indeed an old-style plot. However, it was an unshakable truth.
When the Green Bird flew by the sky in the Green Sky Mirror, the Master Mo could even see the residue of her figure in the sky, not to mention the others.
The laboratory of the Stargate had done many experiments on the subject brought back by the battleship fleet of the Starpoint, and written a few reports on the subject. Later, the reports, after they were encrypted many times, were sent to the higher authorities.
Jing Jiu had searched for the slightest traces in the interplanetary network and the network of the military; in the end, he found out that there were seven terminals or the data users that had read the reports.
He started hacking those terminals prudently; as such, he was doing it at a much slower pace.
The reports written by the lab of the Stargate on him had been sent to the military by the Science Academy. After that, no clue couldn't be discovered. It was unclear whether the military didn't come up with a conclusion or the reports merely turned into a bunch of senseless words on the paper.
Next, he inputted the data about the body of the assassin in overall and the type of the micro bullet in the computer and connected them to these terminals; but he didn't find any clue, feeling surprised.
The most puzzling part was that both the lab of the Stargate and the government of the Federation of the Milky Way had no plan to find him, as if the case regarding him was closed after he had left the lab.
Who the heck wanted to kill me?
There was only one possibility left after he eliminated the lab, the gaming company, and the owner of the gaming parlor in the underground neighborhood.
Jing Jiu came before the window and looked at the outside through it.
The fake blue sky and white clouds outside the window couldn't fool his eyes, of course.
His gaze was trained at the sky.
The lab was located in the deep end of the planet; the sky was merely a distant speck.
It was similar to looking up at the sky from the bottom of the well on Shangde Peak.
He wondered who the idiotic ascendant bent on killing him was?


I am the sword.
Killing a man amidst a thousand miles, no one dares take ten steps.
Killing a man amidst a thousand miles, no one can take ten steps.
Killing a man amidst a thousand miles, ten steps? Not possible!
I am the sword, the sword is me,
On the path towards heaven, each shall wield their own.
