"Miles to go before i sleep" is a story about the life of an athlete girl who wants to spend the last three month's of her remaining life to its fullest but God had other plans for her.....................

After all the children left the ground, only Ajax and Elder Boron stood on the open ground. 
"Ajax, do you have anything to say about nightmares to me?" asked Elder Boron slowly. 
"Yes elder, I think my training should increase. Lately, the intensity of the nightmares is increasing", said Ajax hurriedly. 
"There is no need to increase your training..." 
"But my nightmares?" Before the elder finished his sentence, Ajax interjected in panic. 
"No need to worry. I have a solution. That's why I asked you to wait," said the elder 
"Really?" Ajax asked quickly. 
"Yes, come to my room tomorrow morning by 5 A.M. I will take you to a place," said the elder mysteriously. 
"Where?" Ajax asked expectedly. 
"What's the hurry? You will know tomorrow. So be ready, and don't be late," the elder reminded him once again. 
"Ok then Elder, I will return to my room now." By saying that, he ran off quickly in the direction of the orphanage. 
The elder stood there, watching the silhouette of Ajax and mumbling something. 
As soon as Ajax reached his room, his friends Damon and Hector, who were waiting for him, said, "Ajax come quickly; otherwise, we will miss our dinner if we go late." 
Ajax also knew that if you went late there will be no food for you that night, so he hurriedly washed his face and rushed to the dining hall. 
Although the food given to them was not good, it was not bad either. It was better than most common people that only ate brown bread and congee. 
However, it was still not enough to make up for their training, so they did some miscellaneous works like cutting wood, selling animal skins they hunted, and etc. to earn some money for nutritious food. 
Also, all children who were above 15 years old should leave the orphanage regardless of whether they enlisted in the military or not. 
Most people settled as commoners in their life, while some are enlisted in the military. 
After eating their food, everyone went to their rooms. In the Silver Orphanage, one room was allocated to four members. 
In Ajax's room, the other three members were Damon, Hector, and Jason. With Jason being eldest (nine years old) others were of the same age as Ajax. All four members were very close and cared for one another. "Ajax, what did that old monster say to you today, after we left the ground?" asked Jason with a sympathetic tone 
Jason had the same body force as others, but he was one year older than others. As a result, Elder Boron regularly made Jason exercise more ( of course except for Ajax) so he named the elder as an old monster. Yet although he called him an old monster, he didn't hate the elder because he knew that he will have to leave the orphanage earlier than others, so Elder Boron was trying to increase his body force by making him do more exercises. 
"Nothing, he just wants me to do more exercise tomorrow," Ajax said nonchalantly. 
"Ajax, do you know that you are a little monster?" shouted all the other roommates at once. 
They all knew about Ajax's nightmare situation, since they were roommates, and they also knew that he had to do more exercise than others to suppress it. Yet now, considering that he still wanted to do more training, they don't know whether to cry or laugh. 
"It's making me sick just thinking about all your exercise routines, and somehow, you are still fine after all that exercise. Ok then, good night," Hector said to Ajax in a puking action and went to sleep. 
"Good night," said the others as well before going to sleep. 
"Good night" Ajax also went to sleep after saying that. 
In the middle of the night, Ajax made sounds in his sleep due to nightmares, which made him wake up several times in his sleep. 
At some point in time, one shadow came to his room, silently moving on the floor It soon took the shape of a silhouette and touched several points on Ajax's body. 
As soon as the shadow finished touching Ajax's pained face, Ajax returned to normal and slept peacefully. 
"Its intensity increased sooner than expected. The following plan should be done quickly," muttered the shadow. It dissolved into the floor and soon disappeared

 But he knows one thing for sure, this system is very powerful and helpful in taking his revenge.
 "Whoever you are, I am gonna find you", Ajax mumbled himself with a disgruntled expression.


 In a world where Summoning of an elemental spirit is done through a dream when they are 15 years old, Ajax with the help of a system and his summoned spirits sets out on a journey to seek revenge against the mastermind behind the massacre.

WARNING: DO NOT OPEN! 
The great advantage of early rising is the good start it gives us in our day's work. The early riser has done a large amount of hard work before other men have got out of bed. In the early morning the mind is fresh, and there are few sounds or other distractions, so that work done at that time is generally well done.
In many cases the early riser also finds time to take some exercise in the fresh morning air, and this exercise supplies him a fund of energy that will lost until the evening. By beginning so early, he knows that he has plenty of time to do thoroughly all the work he can be expected to do, and is not tempted to hurry over any part of it. All his work being finished in good time, he has a long interval of rest in the evening before the timely hour when he goes to bed. He gets to sleep several hours before midnight, at the time when sleep is most refreshing and after a sound night's rest, rises early next morning in good health and spirits for the labours of a new day.
It is very plain that such a life as this is far more conducive to health than that of the man who shortenes his waking hours by rising late, and so can afford in the course of the day little leisure for necessary rest. Any one who lies in bed late, must, if he wishes to do a full day's work, go on working to a correspondingly late hour, and deny himself the hour or two of evening exercise that he ought to take for the benefit of his health. But in spite of all his efforts, he will probably produce as good results as the early riser, because he misses the best working hours of the day.
It may be objected to this that some find the perfect quiet of midnight by far the best time for working. This is no doubt true in certain cases. Several great thinkers have found by experience that their intellect is clearest, and they can write best, when they burn the midnight oil. But even in such cases the practice of working late at night cannot be commended. Few men, if any, can exert the full power of their intellect at the time when nature prescribes sleep, without ruining their health thereby; and of course the injury done to the health must in the long run have a bad effect on the quantity of the work done. 


I'm worthless but now priceless -Tan Hua

---------
Do you know a reincarnation in modern times with a cliche plot?

A super talented woman. Betrayed by best friend. Cheated by her dear fiance. A broken family. Luckily she is spoiled by the cool ML and the gentle second ML. She also got her revenge!

Ahhh super cliche, no? But still! Isn't it exciting? A lot of girls fawned over this kind of cliche drama and Tan Hua, a talented young fashion designer is also not an exception.

But...will it still be exciting if you one day found out that somehow you have transmigrated into this kind of chinese drama not as the FL or the villainess but as a nameless nobody, a lowly office boy who is actually a girl?! 

That is what Tan Hua, a 22 years old super rich daughter of a famous fashion designer parents ended up in. 

From an extremely rich and pampered life into a poor life of commoner. Not only that...Tan Hua also had to live her new life in disguise as a boy! 

The worst part is that the second male lead-sama the one who fawn over the FL...is going to kill her the moment she just transmigrated in??!! 

Watch as Tan Hua survived from the black-bellied second male lead-sama scheme being only a normal office boy with no money no power at all, slowly rising to be a world-wide famous fashion designer! 

But...could someone tell her just why the hell that evil second male lead-sama who was courting the FL before...is now pestering her??

After arriving back at home he recieved another mission from the system.

[Mission Received - Exercise for 1 hour per day for 7 days.]
[Sitting in front of a computer all day isn't healthy and getting exercise is good for you, therefore you should get at least 1 hour of exercise per day.]
[Reward - $100, Skill: Running Level 1.]

'Hey, what's up with the reward, you don't specify that I will have to do 1 hour of running yet the reward is still a skill for running, this doesn't make sense, can you please explain?' Ronan was reasonably upset.

[Simple, running is one of the most popular ways to get the exercise that and with the skill you would be able to run slightly faster, and the only exercise you currently get is walking so why not go onto running, besides I doubt you can even lift a coffee mug.]

'Did you call me fat or anorexic? or just straight up weak, because I know I'm not weak, unlike a system that doesn't actually exist.'

[Really? I'm fairly sure that I do exist and for that, I'm going to double your mission.]

[Mission Cancelled - Exercise for 1 hour per day for 7 days.]

[Mission Received - Exercise for 2 hours per day for 14 days.]
[Sitting in front of a computer all day isn't healthy and getting exercise is good for you, therefore you should get at least 2 hours of exercise per day.]
[Reward - $50, Skill: Running Level 1.]

'You know I was joking right? How could the most supreme system in the world be so petty?' Ronan was depressed, running 1 hour was fine, but now running 2 hours is sad, he has to run for 2 hours per day for 14 days to get money and it half than what was promised originally.

[Too late, now do it before I decide to make you suffer for 28 days doing 3 hours of running.]

'Really? I thought the mission is optional.' Ronan was borderline depressed now.

[Oh, yeah, your right, but still do it and then you get rewards, you need the rewards right?]

'Well, it has a point, I suppose I can still do it, after all, I get a skill and then I can get some more money.'

[You know I can hear your thoughts right?]

'Huh, I seem to have forgotten because you didn't speak for like 3 days.'

Ronan and the system had a bit of catching up to do, in the end, Ronan made a schedule for it, 2 hours of running per day at 7 AM just after he wakes up, then he can spend the day doing whatever he wants to do, in the meantime, Ronan went back to the textbooks, he had a deal with Jake all of them done in 5 days then he will get paid.

He started on the textbooks.

Several hours later and he had done 1/4 of them and he went to sleep.

Over the next few days, Ronan had gone running for 2 hours, completed the textbooks and gone back to editing the code of his app to improve it, he improved the user interface, the app was not as taxing as it was earlier on the users phones, and he had rented several servers, now his app had over 50k downloads with approximately 7k online at all times of day, providing him with a steady income, the most users online at a single time was 20k, but that was the day after he contacted Jake about spreading it, he also received several hundreds of helpful reviews on how to market the app and now he was looking for online advertisements to advertise his app.

"Hello, is this Approval Advertisements?" Ronan had just contacted an advertisement agency to see if he could get some online exposure.

"Yes, who is this?" Replied the voice on the other end.

"My name is Ronan, I'm calling to ask about your prices for advertisements, all kinds."

"Sure, its $500 for a total package, you will get all sorts of advertisements on all sorts of different websites, you can specify what types of advertisements you want and on what websites, we also offer advertisements on different apps, we have many companies selling us advertisement space on their apps, for the original price of $500 you can have either, but if you pay $650 you can have both."

Ronan spent some time deliberating over the various companies he had called and contacted, but the one with the best offer and reputation was by far Approval Advertisements, Ronan only gets paid at the end of the month for the advertisements so currently he only had the original $1100 from the missions.

"Okay, where do I sign?" Ronan asked.

When Ronan asked, He went through the procedure to rent the advertising space and also paid them an extra $100 for creation of the advertisements.

After everything was done, he was told that it would take 2 days for the advertisements to be made then they would be put up the day after, and he wouldn't be charged for the first week.

He went back to completing the textbooks, the month ended in 5 days and 2 textbooks needed to be completed for tomorrow, fortunately, they were the easiest ones to complete.

After a couple of hours, Ronan looked at his clock.

20:00

An hour before he was set to sleep, he was even more tired since he had to run 2 hours every day and it was important that he at least didn't feel tired when running his app and completing the textbooks.

After another hour of working on his textbooks, he put them down and went to sleep.

Waking up the next day he went for a run, got a shower and prepared his bag, putting all the textbooks into his bag.

Ronan Atkins is a 20-year-old student, he studies Business Administration at Trinity College, it is considered as one of the best colleges to learn Business Administration in the world and in order to obtain a scholarship Ronan had to pass many tests, most of which have nothing to do with the actual course he was studying in, after passing all those tests he was finally given the scholarship he dreamed off, but even after getting the scholarship his life was hard, he had to work several jobs in order to pay for food and accommodation.
Until one day, when he is working part-time at a convenience shop something happens...

Icarus awoke to pitch black darkness. Out of habit, he pulled up his status screen. That was also when he realised that he was actually lying on a bed. 'Oh yeah, I was born.' He muttered under his breath and read the status screen in front of him.

Name: Icarus Dragonsword
Age: 10 hrs old

Constitution: 1
Power: 1
Agility: 1
Dexterity: 1
Vitality: 1
Intelligence: 1

Completed quests

All his stats were now whole numbers. That was the first change that caught his eyes. That was also the only change that caught his eyes as everything else was obvious. It was still night so he decided that it was for the best if he just went back to sleep. It was also at this time when he heard the ringing go off inside his head.

Daily Quest: Baby Exercise
Kick 5 times with your left leg
Reward: +0.02 All physical stats
Penalty: -0.02 All physical stats
Time limit: 24:00

The very first thing he noticed was the fact that he wouldn't die if he didn't kick five times with his left leg. The next thing was the fact that reward said "physical stats". 'Huh, physical stats? I guess intelligence might be a mental stat.' He had 24 hrs but he decided to complete the quest now to confirm his guess. Kicking five times was actually not an easy task, especially given the fact that he was a newborn. Justifiably, he was pretty puffed out by the end of it. Hearing the signature ringing, he checked his stats again. Indeed, just like he had predicted, every stat except intelligence had increased by 0.02. 'Okay, so that confirms it.' He yawned and closed his eyes, when he was interrupted by another ringing sound. Icarus wasn't surprised though as the quests have always come when he least expected them.

Daily Quest: Sleeping Practice
Sleep for 10 hours
Reward: +0.02 All mental stats
Penalty: -0.02 All mental stats
Time limit: 24:00

'Now this is a quest I like.' He closed his eyes and fell asleep almost instantly. In his defence, he was dead tired to begin with from the exercise, it was counted as intensive for a newborn.

Sana was awoken by the first rays of dawn. Sitting up, she realised that Icarus was still asleep. Yawning she slowly stood up and walked out, finding Daedalus in the kitchen preparing breakfast. 'Morning honey, how was your sleep?' He asked as he cracked two eggs over the pan. The sizzling sound filled the living.
'It was the best I have had in a while, Icarus is also still asleep.' She nodded, before asking, 'what did you find out?'
Daedalus paused before taking two breads and placing them over the eggs. 'It was...weird. Let me serve the eggs, I'll explain.' He flipped the eggs and placed them on two separate plates. The table was already setup so he just placed one plate in front of Sana and sat down with the other. 'As it turns out, they didn't see much of anything.'
'What? How is that possible?' Sana's jaw dropped open as soon as she heard that.
'The destiny avatar blocked them.'
'Wh-what? How? How can a mere phantom be so powerful?'
Daedalus smiled at his wife. It was rare to get such a startled expression out of her. 'It just goes to show the level of our son's achievements.'
Sana sighed at this. 'Speaking of our son, we need to read his stats.' They both finished breakfast before coming back inside their. Focusing on their son, their eyebrows shot up when his status screen showed up in front of them. They both stared at each other before heavily sighing, the same thought going through their heads; 'he has stats of a full grown unawakened adult!'
...
Icarus was woken up by another ringing. The first thing he did was surprisingly not pull up the quest though.
'Waaah!' His first actions were naturally of crying. He had been hungry for almost a twelve hours now, being only breast fed once. The only way of letting his parents was through crying. After drinking his fill, he pulled up the quest screen to find that he had completed his previous quest and at the same time, he had a new daily quest.

Daily Quest: Baby Exercise
Kick 5 times with your right leg
Reward: +0.02 All physical stats
Penalty: -0.02 All physical stats
Time limit: 24:00

Icarus sighed and repeated the same process as he had done so earlier. The quests also came in a predictable pattern, allowing him to fall into a routine. He would wake up, drink, exercise and go back to sleep. It wasn't until he was a few months old that he actually had a chance to play with his parents. Especially his mother, she would play with him for almost the entire time he was awake. Although that was the case, he was never able to peacefully fall asleep in her arms. No, it was only in the arms of his father that he would find the peace he needed to sleep. He didn't know how or why this was the case but it just was. He also learned a great deal about the world he was currently living in. Apparently it was called Highenheim and the currently continent of residence was Thrinacia which was ruled by the Helios empire. His parents Daedalus and Sana appeared to be normal farmers and the whole world seemed to be at the medieval level technology. 
He also learned a great deal about the farmhands. Although he never went more than 10 metres from the house, he learned the names of a few close farmhands, such as Caylus, Holt, Sim, Leah and Martha. As for the language, he wasn't at all worried about that since he had grasped it with the first few hours of hearing it due to the same lexicon as his previous life. The words were also almost the same, only some of them being somewhat archaic. Basically, Icarus' first six to seven months were spent on learning about his environment, his parents and the world in general. It was a breeze and he felt it was no problem at all. That was the case until nine months after his birth.

Icarus made a choice, leading him to a mistake. A mistake which cost him almost everything that was dear to him. He died wishing for redemption and in death, he was offered a choice again. 'As with every choice, you pay a price and gain a privilege'. Will Icarus be able to afford the privilege or will he pay the ultimate price?

Like a final crack in a dam causing the whole thing to burst, a torrent of that soothing energy seemed to wash over Michael's being, leaving him feeling a calm and serenity he couldn't quite put his finger on. The tangle of string had been completely smoothed out, and he even felt that his thinking was a bit sharper than it had been previously. 

"System, what is this sensation I'm feeling?"

<<Subject is currently experiencing the effects of the 'Ordered Mind' bonus. When Territory Quality improved from 'Poor' to 'Average', the first tier of this bonus came into effect. Subject will experience a small bonus to Intelligence and Willpower related skills and abilities while under the effect of this bonus.

"Hey, kid. Hopefully it hasn't been too long since you last heard from me. If it's still your birthday, then congratulations once again - you haven't disappointed us yet. I'm not sure what the context is, but if you're hearing this then you just got your first taste of The Carrot.  You didn't think I'd just send us a crazy torture-happy taskmaster and call it a present, did you? Through a bunch of mechanisms that you couldn't even understand if I did explain them to you right now, the System is able to tap into a lot of bonuses and fun stuff when you meet the right conditions. Think of it like a Force Multiplier for your efforts. Someday, you'll be able to do all of this and more yourself, but for now this is the best way to get you up and running quickly. So don't give our creation too much of a hard time, alright? At the end of the day, you're the one who benefits. Keep up the good work."

Michael grimaced at the last bit of that message. While he couldn't wholly be blamed for reacting with some consternation to the sudden upheaval of his routines, the system hadn't really asked him to do anything unreasonable. It was just his teenaged hedonistic brain lashing out at doing what he didn't want to, like a kid being told to eat their vegetables. 

"Hey, System?"

<<Awaiting Subject's query.>>

"...Got any other missions for me?"

<<...Does Subject mean it?>>

Michael sighed. "Why not."

<<Retrieving existing missions and generating additional missions based on context.

"Oh! Right, I thought I'd completed that. I wonder what's left? And Road to what?" Michael wondered as he fished the printouts he'd made in the computer lab out of his bag. He'd taken a cursory glance at them in the lab, but hadn't really read through them. A few minutes afterwards, he'd finished reading them all in detail.

"...I suppose I should have seen this coming," Michael muttered, though he wasn't upset. In fact, he'd wanted to be able to initiate some sort of exercise program, but it wasn't something he was familiar with and he hadn't had the motivation to investigate it further.  

He went back over to his supply area and retrieved a couple of rolls of carpet. He decided to lay them out in the corner furthest away from his sleeping area, and layered them both one on top of each other in order to make sure that he was reasonably protected from the concrete floor of the basement. He decided to look into a better sub-floor for that area in the future. 

"System, I thought heavy exercise wasn't recommended for people my age?"

<<Correction. Prescribed program in no way resembles heavy exercise. Furthermore, Subject's physiology has already matured to the stage of producing sufficient hormones to support recovery.>>

Michael nodded, somewhat curious as to what heavy exercise was supposed to look like, but decided it was wise not to push the issue at the moment. Since the new routine didn't start til tomorrow and he'd decided to leave the Status Check til right before bed, he opted for the last outstanding mission.

Fishing the Fundamentals of Reading out of his bag, he sat down at his new work desk. He glanced over at the time. 10pm. If he activated the Enhanced Focus, he'd wrap up around midnight, which was around when he normally went to bed - if he didn't get distracted by one of his games, or a book, that is. 

"System, how do I activate the Enhanced Focus?"

<<System is able to activate any available ability or feature at the Subject's request. However, based on the Subject's physiology and current capabilities, it is recommended that the Subject engage in 9 hours of sleep per cycle at this point for proper hormone generation.>>

"Nine hours? I never sleep that much!"

<<System is aware. Subject's sleep habits are... far from ideal.>>

"Could I even fall asleep right now if I wanted to? I don't usually go to bed this early."

<<System has the ability to induce a sleeping state in the Subject upon request.>>

"Now THAT's handy. I guess I'll leave the test-drive for another night then," Michael shrugged and changed into a pair of pajama bottoms before turning off the lights and lying in his bed. "So, how does this work, do I need to close my eyes, or say some--"

<<Inducing sleep now.>>

7:00AM, September 2nd, 2000 CE

<<Subject has awoken. Displaying missed notifications:

Physique-??? => +0.002
Physique-??? => +0.001

Intellect-??? => +0.001

Existing Missions:

[Mission: Status Check]
[Mission: Road to a Healthy Body (0/7)]
[Mission: Take It for a Spin].>>

Michael rubbed his eyes, then snapped his head up as he realized what he'd just read. "Wait, my stats went up while I slept!?"

<<Of course. Subject is in a growth stage. Proper rest and nutrition are key components to Subject's growth.>>

Michael had heard platitudes in a similar vein since he was a kid, but it was another thing to see the evidence right in front of him. He deeply regretted a number of nights where he'd stayed up way too late playing video games. Who wouldn't want to get stronger while they slept?

Michael decided to get the first portion of his new daily routine out of the way before making his way upstairs. As he stepped onto the carpet he had placed on the far corner, the System prompted:

<<Entering exercise area. Initiating Daily Routine. System will monitor each movement for proper form and report successful repetitions. Please begin.

Michael shrugged and dropped down to the ground, quickly doing a push-up. "Honestly, 20 push-ups doesn't sound too difficult. System, do I need to count them out myself or will you do it?"

<<System will report each rep once Subject starts.>>

"But I--"

<<Incorrect. That was not a push-up.>>

"..."

Michael recalled the precise form he'd studied the night before and slowly repeated the exercise, maintaining his form through it. This time, it was much slower than the previous one.

<<One.>>

"...I take it back, System."

---

<<...Daily Routine updated. (5/6) completed. Time is 7:20.>>

Michael quickly jumped up, perspiring and breathing rather heavily, quickly jammed the Fundamentals of Reading into his pack, grabbed the clothes he wanted to wear and raced upstairs. Anne was once again sitting at the table, and all she saw was a blur as he zoomed through the kitchen. 5 minutes later, he was back downstairs, tugging on a sock while hopping on one leg. 

"Running a little late? It's not even 7:30," she commented. "Yeah, I'm doing this new fitness thing and I'm walking. It takes a bit," he explained. "Got it. Have fun. Mom said we're having pizza tonight!" Anne called out after him as he rushed out the door. 

---

<<Walk to School initiated. Previous time was 58 minutes and 37 seconds. Subject will be awarded with bonuses for beating this time.>>

"Really? Well, that's cool! Alright - let's go!"

It's the turn of the 21st century in a world not unlike our own. 14 year-old Michael wakes up on the first day of high school with a nosebleed, a splitting headache, and the voice of someone claiming to be him from a number of years in the future in his head!

"We could have been, and we need to be, better... so, congratulations, I'm sorry, and good luck!"

Stuck with a somewhat overbearing voice in his head that seems hell-bent on ruining his life, Michael will have to survive such ordeals as... doing well in school, eating right, exercising and... learning demonic contract law? Stay tuned to find out!

Ryn closed the door and headed to the elevator. After all the activities with Mika, she was finally able to have time for herself. And it was time for gym session. 

When she reached the gym, she saw many models were already working hard. She greeted those she knew and joined them.

"You're late," Genie teased, still running on the treadmill.

"There is a place for me here, right?" Ryn started a quick warm up before she joined Genie, running on the treadmill next to the model.

Some of the models brought their own trainers along. 

Even Genie brought her own trainer.

Ryn giggled when she heard Genie's groan whenever the movement was too hard or when the trainer kept pushing her even though she was already tired.

"I wish I could see you working out like this. Let see whether you can still smiling," Genie gasped.

"No. I am not going to do that. I'll stick to the easy and relaxing exercise," Ryn replied.

"What's her definition of easy and relaxing?" Genie's trainer chuckled.

He had seen what Ryn was doing since the moment she started exercise and although there were some movements too simple, Ryn seemed to know exactly what she was doing and gradually increasing the difficulty of her exercise.

"One that can finish quickly so she can sleep early," Genie replied. Her eyes glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already late and she swore she heard Ryn yawned.

"Alright. I'm done. Good…. Yawn… workout, everyone. See you tomorrow," Ryn yawned. She used only two fingers to hold onto her water bottle. 

It was time to sleep!

"How could you, Ryn!" Genie cried and wanted to follow Ryn back to her room but her trainer stopped her.

"You have an hour more to go," he reminded.

"No~ It's unfair~"

"You paid me to put you in shape for tomorrow's night. Suck it up and do it. You'll thank me later."

"Monster!"

Ryn used another card to open the door. She saw Mika curled on the couch, talking in the phone.

"Still working in the middle of the night?" Ryn asked when Mika was finally done with her conversation.

"Like usual. You've finished with your exercise?"

"Hmm… Is there any chocolate yet?" Ryn looked at the chocolate box given by the hotel. She frowned seeing only a third left.

"Mika, how many did you eat?"

"Try to remember back how many did you eat," Mika replied back as she checked the channel in the television. "So boring and I can't sleep."

"I can. Good night." When she could not eat chocolate, better she goes to sleep.

She took a quick shower and changed into a blue pajamas.

"Why can't you wear a nightgown? I brought yours."

"Good night, Mika."

Mika pouted. She thought they could spend the night chatting and having fun tonight.

~*~*~*~

Mika yawned and rubbed her sleepy eyes when she felt the sunlight hitting her face. 

Ryn turned and smiled at her sleepy best friend. "Good morning, babe. Go fresh yourself. I've ordered breakfast for us."

"Morning. You've gone jogging already?" Mika mumbled.

"Hmm… I'm hungry." She put down the remote control for the curtain and looked outside.

"Is it cold outside?" Mika wrapped herself with the blanket, still sleepy to wake up.

"Not really. Wake up. Or I'll finish all the food."

Mika pulled the blanket to cover her head.

"Mika, come on. You need to wash your face. Later I have to go for the final rehearsal."

Ryn sighed when it only made her best friend furrowed deeper into the bed. The bed was too comfortable. Even she had to push herself to wake up and go for a short run. If she had no show tonight, she would bury herself under the blanket.

Life was so unfair!

Suck it up, Ryn. Only today you have to wake up early. Tomorrow you can spend the whole day on bed sleeping.

Ryn nodded at her thought. Her eyes twinkled at the thought of able to sleep in tomorrow.

She quickly opened the door and welcomed the man pushing a trolley of food into the dining area. They even had a big dining table here!

"Mika, food is here," Ryn called after she paid the meals and sent the man outside.

She lifted the lid and clapped her hands happily. Smell so good, it made her mouth water.

"Mika, breakfast!"

Ryn waited for a minute…. And then two. When Mika still did not come out from the bedroom, Ryn groaned and went into the bedroom to pull Mika out. She could not eat alone, could she?

She could not even see Mika on the bed with the mountain of blanket covering the King sized bed. 

"Mika, wake up. I thought I'm the Sleeping Beauty here, not you. Wake up," she tried to grab hold onto Mika's foot but she only caught the thick blanket. Where the heck was Mika's legs?

"Stop folding your legs like birds. Come on, let's have our breakfast."

Ryn grabbed the blanket and threw it to the floor, exposing Mika's bad posture in sleeping. Mika shivered under the icy air conditional. Her hands reached for the blanket which was already thrown carelessly on the floor.

It took Mika another five minutes to walk to the bathroom, yawning non-stop. Ryn wiped the sweat on her face, relief finally able to wake up her best friend. Her stomach was growling in hunger!

"Finally, we can eat," Ryn pulled Mika toward the dining table. She couldn't wait anymore!

~*~*~*~

Jeremy took off the glasses he wore and rubbed between his eyes. Finally, he was done with the files. He looked at the clock and found it was already morning.  He only had few hours to rest before he could go to the show.

Instead of his own bedroom, he went to the guest bedroom, where Ryn slept. Her scent was almost gone but he still liked it. He lied on the bed and closed his eyes tiredly. 

"Soon, my love, soon we will be together."

~*~*~*~

"Don't forget to come home early. At least three hours early."

Harry nodded. He focussed on finishing his bowl of congee and fried bread. Later he planned to have a short game of basketball after a trip to the library. He needed to return the books he borrowed for the last assignment.

"I'll buy new clothes for you to wear tonight. So get back here four hours before."

"But you said three hours just now."

"Make it five. We need to establish your position as a model. We cannot let you wear your old clothes. You must make a stand."

Harry sighed heavily. It seemed like his mother and sister were still unable to quench the excitement of him being a model. It was no big deal so why everyone was made such a big deal over it?

"My clothes are fine, mother. I can wear whatever in the closet."

"No, you cannot. You'll follow me to the boutique."

"I'm late. I'll go first. Thank you for the food." Harry quickly grabbed his bag and rushed out. He would never win against his mother so better to retreat quickly.

On the surface, Ryn looked like a normal quiet girl who only focused on her study and did not even bother
about things outside her study. However, the whole campus was shocked to know she was actually a
popular model who just made a comeback after two years 'retired'. To make them more shocked when a
very popular singer, Jeremy was her ex-boyfriend and now wanted her back. Of course, to add the spice in her life, a model who is her university's mate fell in love with her.
Now she had to choose between these two, as well as balancing her life as a boring student but an exciting model.

*******

“Sign this contract.” He nudged the contract toward her.

“Can I think first?” she asked weakly.

“Five seconds.” Jack felt generous and gave her time to think. “See how good my mood is today?”

"Are you insane?" Lou Cheng was shocked, his lips twitching. He burst into an ironic laugh, completely puzzled. 
Is this the so-called generation gap? 
It's almost impossible to understand what's on Fei's mind. 
He shook the matter off his head and walked into the bathroom to complete his washing up. 
Back in the living room, he turned off the light and lay down on the couch under a thin duvet, entering his chatting mode with Yan Zheke on his mobile as usual. He finally found peace and joy in his heart, like the dim moonlight shining through the window. 
"Poor me... I'm sleeping in the living room on my first day home..." Lou Cheng added the pitiful emoji his girlfriend loved to use. Be a rascal among rascal. 
"Ha-hah. I'm rolling and rolling in my massive bed after such a long separation!" Yan Zheke chuckled. 
Lou Cheng sent a table smashing emoji and complained, "You don't comfort me at all!" 
"There, there. Let big sister give you a hug. You can sleep in bed soon." Yan Zheke loved to call herself a big sister in front of Lou Cheng recently though she was actually one year younger. 
"Sleep in bed? Together with my big sister?" Lou Cheng went on to tease her with a sneer. 
Yan Zheke used a yelling emoji. "Phew! I won't sleep with the pervert! You just teased me with the photo of a BBQ eggplant!" 
"I was trying to seduce you. Seduce you to eat it with me one day." Lou Cheng smiled. 
Yan Zheke asked while stroking her chin and rolling her eyes, "What if I want to eat it now?" 
"I'll order one and deliver it to you now." Lou Cheng offered. 
"Never mind. My parents are both at home. You come here now is like a sheep going to a tiger's mouth. It's already past 10. You should sleep so you'll have the energy for tomorrow's morning exercise. Entering the Dan stage is the most important thing right now, understand?" Yan Zheke lay on top of a teddy bear's belly, smiling. 
"Understood! Coach Yan, don't worry!" Lou Cheng was between seriousness and a joke. 
Before I reach the peak of the body refining stage, my future brother-in-law is already a capable Professional Eighth Pin martial artist in the Dan stage. I have this target to catch up with. Not to mention the devil Peng Leyun! 
"Err... Cheng, speaking of morning exercise... I have one piece of good news and one bad. Which one do you want to hear first?" Yan Zheke added an emoji sitting there in a trance. 
"Bad news... We can't do exercise together tomorrow morning?" asked Lou Cheng, very sensitive. 
Yan Zheke clinched her fist and cried. "Unfortunately yes. And not only tomorrow... The Queen Mother has put on a few pounds recently and is also thinking about doing some morning exercise. So we'll be doing it together to improve our relationship and she wants to teach me a little bit. I can join you only when she's away for business or feels sleeping in." 
"Damn! Queen Mother, you must be doing this on purpose! I didn't know you sometimes want to sleep in!" Lou Cheng could not afford to resent it. He swallowed his disappointment and tried to comfort her. "Queen Mother is too busy to stick to the morning exercise. Your parents both go to work. They can't lock you up as if you were still a young child. We'll find time to date." 
"Yes!" Yan Zheke sat elegantly and nodded along. "Cheng, I thought you would be really disappointed." 
"I'm disappointed indeed. Feels like the beautiful mornings I've been looking forward to are no longer beautiful. But what can we do? She's your mother after all," replied Lou Cheng honestly. An idea flashed in his head and he added, "Don't eat too much breakfast tomorrow." 
Yan Zheke's soft dimples appeared reading Lou Cheng's words, her eyes gentle and caring. This strange line out of the blue confused her. "Why?" 
"Secret!" Lou Cheng would not tell her he was to send the rice dumplings she'd been longing for to her tomorrow morning. 
"Secret? You asked me to eat less tomorrow morning. I bet you're to send some food. What breakfast am I longing for in Xiushan?" Yan Zheke sent a "there is only one truth" emoji before continuing. "You're to deliver the rice dumplings to me?" 
Lou Cheng replied a stunned dog. "How smart! You got me!" 
It supposed to be a surprise! 
"He-heh... I'm a reputed detective." Yan Zheke in her white sleeping gown turned around in bed with her mobile, and her lips pursed and eyes curved with an obvious smile. 
She was so very pleased with this compliment. It sounded better than the rice dumplings. 
It's thanks to my reasoning power and our mutual understanding and tacit. 
She sat elegantly after an over ten-second laugh. "But my dad will cook breakfast for me tomorrow. I haven't had his cooking for almost a year. And tomorrow night we're going to my grandparents' home. I'll be having breakfast with them the day after tomorrow. Your surprise will have to wait until the day after..." 
She started to feel guilty, wanting to make up. 
"Deal. Breakfast in three days." Lou Cheng heaved a sigh. "As expected, I can't see Ke every day." 
A flush alongside a smile came to Yan Zheke's face. "I'll come to find you whenever I can." 
"I can also come to see you." Lou Cheng adjusted his mood and sneered. "Hey, what's the good news?" 
"The good news?" Yan Zheke chuckled, leaning towards a cushion. 
There's light in her eyes and redness on her cheeks, her teeth gently biting on her bottom lip as her fingers slowly typing. 
"The good news is..." 
"Cheng, I have started missing you..." 
Lou Cheng's heart was beaten, becoming very soft. He carried a very light smile and replied, 
"I'm also missing my Ke." 
At that very moment, he felt the moonlight tranquil and the dark night gentle. 
Time flew fast while they were chatting. The clock was turning 10:30. Lou Cheng said goodnight to Yan Zheke unwillingly and shared a photo taken during the BBQ dinner earlier. 
The first meal back in Xiushan! 
He wasn't very keen on this kind of stuff. He would update once every ten days or two weeks. 
He logged out his QQ and put his mobile away, tasting the peaceful night and the sweet love in Yan Zheke's message, falling asleep with a satisfied smile. 
He woke up naturally the next morning, washed up quietly, changed into his navy blue martial arts suit and logged on his QQ to send Yan Zheke a laughing emoji with hands around its waist. 
"The handsome one is up!" 
"The beautiful one is sitting on her bed, in a trance..." Yan Zheke replied an emoji with circles in its eyes. 
They chatted a little bit before Ke finally struggled to get up. Lou Cheng checked replies to his new post. 
The first one was from Fatty Jiang. "Cheng, your first meal back in Xiushan was not home-made? Is Aunt not around? He-heh... My train arrives tonight. Don't forget to treat me to a meal. Those with a girlfriend must take me out to a big meal!" 
Lou Cheng attempted to tease him on his weight, asking him not to think about big meals considering his weight before he noticed other replies. 
Cheng Qili was in shock. "What? Cheng, you've got a girlfriend?" 
Qin Rui replied with astonishment, "Cheng, when did you get a girlfriend? A classmate from your university?" 
The class monitor Qiu Hailin laughed with a hand covering her mouth. "I didn't see this coming. Cheng, you have solved a big problem in the first year, without telling anyone." 
His previous desk mate Cao Lele laughed along. "Neither did I. This is not the Lou Cheng I know! When are you going to show us your girlfriend?" 
"Holy crap! Brother Lou, barking dogs don't bite. I'm still single!" Tao Xiaofei followed. 
Lou Cheng looked blankly with only one thought in his mind. 
Damn you, Fatty Jiang! You and your big mouth! 
... 
Lou Cheng consolidated the peak status of the body refining stage through exercises, recalling his conversation with his master before leaving school. 
"The meaning of withdrawal requires all forces in your body to mingle together in a solid one. Otherwise, it'll be a tree without roots or the water without a source. This is why one can't jump onto it early and must wait until the peak of the body refining stage to try it." Geezer Shi took a sip of the wine. 
Lou Cheng was very impressed. "Master, you said it so well..." 
Sounds so well educated... 
Geezer Shi continued with a proud smile, "It was from my master. Hey, boy, can't you focus on the key point? You've mastered meditation and gained the inward vision but you shouldn't underestimate the Dan stage. This is the very first threshold in professional martial arts training after all." 
"I won't talk too much. Here are the words for you: the human body's grand Dan is round and bright. The rest is you to explore and recognize. Come back when you have no other ways." 
"That's it?" Lou Cheng felt his master was not a real one. 
"What else do you want? Everyone has his own characteristics and personality. Relying on the master won't take you very far unless you're fine sitting under me all your life. Besides, don't you want to mix Taoist practice into your training? I can't help you there. From now on, you must learn to feel and explore on your own." Geezer Shi sounded more serious than usual. "All in all, call me when you need me but don't always expect an answer from me." 
"Yes, master." Lou Cheng nodded with his mind in deep thoughts. 
A gentle breeze caressed his cheeks. The early morning in June was not hot but Lou Cheng didn't add anything new to his morning training because he hadn't bought medicines to start to mingle his forces into one yet. 
After his exercise, Lou Cheng returned home and had breakfast without Qi Yunfei who would usually sleep until noon. He took the list of medicines his master gave him and went straight to Jishan House, the best traditional Chinese drugstore of the city. 
.. 
Outside Jishan House, Lou Cheng was interrupted by the ring of his mobile. 
He saw Qin Rui's name and picked up. 
"Hello, Cheng. My master is very glad you're interested in working part-time for us." Qin Rui got right to the point. "He proposed two types of work for you to choose from." 
"Name it." Lou Cheng was pleased. 
Qin Rui thought it over and adjusted his tone. "The first one you'll become part of our advertisement as a part-time instructor for two months. There won't be a monthly salary but you get 30% from our profit from the summer camp. Cheng, let me be honest with you. I was scared when I first heard of it. I've never seen my master being this generous with anyone! On average we'll have 20 summer classes. The profit in these two summer months after deducting staff salary, utilities, equipment depreciation and site abrasion will be at least one million!" 
"At least one million? 30% of it will be at least 300,000?" Lou Cheng had never heard such a big amount of money. He felt stunned and excited. 
300,000... 300,000! It's enough to buy a flat in Xiushan where the average price per square meter is only 3,500. 
"Could this be real?" Lou Cheng held himself back from saying yes and stabilized his breath. "What about the second one?" 
"The second one we won't use you to promote. You'll just take one VIP class. You know, those classes are usually advertised as instructed by my master in person. The tuition fee will be 5,888 and there'll be ten of them in your class. All their tuition fee will be yours. The equipment and site aren't a concern for you. If you see anything off in our training and practice, correct us." Qin Rui explained in details patiently. "Moreover, there'll be an individual tutoring fee. The more you make, the more you earn." 
"What individual tutoring fee?" asked Lou Cheng, confused. 
"Think about it. Except for VIP classes, other classes each will have 30 to 50 students. How could one instructor guide so many? Instructors teach students and check on their progress in general, correcting one or two from time to time. This won't be enough for some students, and they'll approach you for one-on-one tutoring, paying extra to get a better result. Instructors at my level charge 300 yuan per hour." Qin Rui laughed out. "You can set your price later. Honestly, I'm tempted to pay for a few sessions of yours already!" 
"Ha-hah. For you it's free." Lou Cheng smiled. 
Qin Rui continued, "This kind of tutoring fee we need to give a certain percentage to the martial arts club but you don't need to." 
"The latter one was apparently not as good. A small class of ten students needed no more one-on-one instruction..." Lou Cheng was very tempted by the bonus, but he understood that it was a bit too much for a Professional Ninth Pin martial artist... 
Abnormality indicates trouble! 
"Don't be blinded by the greed. I'd better consult my master. After all, this old dog still has a few tricks..." Lou Cheng said with a smile, "Qin Rui, I'll think about it and let you know." 
"Sure. Call me," answered Qin Rui generously. 


Here martial arts are no longer intangible legends. They have been passed on from generation to generation and from century to century. After the confrontation with science and technology, they have completely integrated into modern society and all kinds of martial arts competitions are taking place across the country as superiority among scholars are hard to reach a consensus but not as difficult among martial artists!
Lou Cheng has inherited the lost skills of the greatest martial arts sect. Towards his original dream and the glory in his heart, he advances step by step, becoming the warrior of this modern city and the hero of the era!

Note: This Ark will worth your time and spirit stones.



He had created and surpassed the ten seals, which stumped all the people.

Creating the tenth seal is not a simple thing. After one created eight seals, one starts to feel like some kind of resistance including pain.

That why after I created my eighth seal nine months ago, I am now stuck in the second move to create the ninth seal.

No matter how much I try circulating for supreme combat exercise, I felt that grueling resistance whenever I circulate the exercise and as the time passed the pain became even more intense that one cant continues after that.

My father said that this resistance is a natural barrier and the resistance is even greater for those whose age in less than twenty.

The reason because our mana veins hadn't fully developed yet and circulated mana into undeveloped mana veins going be difficult than normal but also became of that when one lesser than twenty able to create the tenth seal, he gets more benefits than the adults.

After creating the tenth seal, all seals of supreme combat exercise go through change and they brought immense benefits to the creator, my father is a clear example of that.

Then the tenth seal brought visible change in his body, not only he looked much younger than before, he is very much stronger.

In terms of physical power, my father is way stronger than me.

It's a blessing that my father has no interest in fighting and all he did that for the sake of his research.

He had even converted shed in the backyard as his lab where he could daily circulate supreme combat exercise and collect data with tens machines which are lying around in the shed.

"Dinner ready!" I shouted and started making a table for everyone.

''What a feast!" Another feast said excitedly as she came holding alive in her arms.

I've come home every month, especially stay for a week since my precious sister is born.

So, ever since I've taken cooking classes, I've always cooked whenever I come home.

I've most of the time brought cooking ingredients from westblood but sometimes I hunt for them also, like today.

"It's tasty as always!" ''Chew chew!" 

My mother and Ashlyn praised as they started to eat.

All of them very concentrate on enjoying the food except for my baby sister, she is playing with her food and eating only when mom glover at her.

"How long your special training last?" asked my father while taking the bite of his food.

I had already told them that my fake organization sending me to the special training in the space realm.

I can't tell them that I am going to the Minerva realm, a simple search on their holowatch will tell them how dangerous the Minerva realm is.

I don't like lying to my parents but sometimes lying is better than telling the truth.

"A little more than a month," I replied.

The timing which Minerva realm open for isn't fixed, sometimes it opened for twenty days, sometimes thirty and thirty and thirty-five days.

I will only know the definite answer on the day of the opening which is a week later.

''Brother leaving!" Alice said in her toddler language, her cheeks are puffed red and little water in her eyes could be seen.

If I didn't say something good to pacify her next moment, then I will have heard her cry.

"Of course not precious, I will never leave my precious sister!" I said and pinched her cheeks lovingly.

Her cheeks turned normal and she started to eat her food again seeing mom is looking at her.

Rest of dinner went well as we did not talk about a heavy subject as leaving in front of Alice.

Every time I've come to visit, Alice became very happy but the time of leaving is a nightmare.

She always cries when she saw me leaving and that time making her quite is a really tough job.

After dinner, I played with Alice for a while before she started feeling sleepy and mom took her to her crib to sleep.

"How is your research going?" I asked my father.

"It going quite great, I should be able to finish preliminary in half a year!" said my father.

"Well it's good," I said with a smile, my father research speed faster than expected and if higher-ups are not that dumb then he will receive a certification of Grade 2 doctor in six months also.

This is the only preliminary research and he wishes to do more.

I have already transferred ten million into my parents account forcefully month ago, which will be enough for his take coursed and do research for his Grade 3 doctor certification.

Unlike my father, my mother did not have much interest in the field of medicine, she became a doctor just because it gave her a normal and simple life but now I could see lodging in her eyes to do something fruitful seeing my father passionately pursuing his dream.

I hope she would find her passion as well just like my father.

I talk with my parents for an hour more before going into my room to sleep.

'Hum hi hunn….' Humming my favorite tune, I change into my pajamas and laid on the bed.

It is quite early for me to sleep and even if I tried, I will not fall asleep this early.

Knowing this, I opened one book from my holowatch and started to study it.

In this past year, except for the crazily pursuing level up, the thing I most did is to study this book.

The Complete Mysteries of Totem, I found this book on remains of the human body, at the start of my adventure in the westblood city.

Ever since then, I would study this book whenever I got the time and in the past year, I keep studying it even more.

It a very complex book and I had to spend more than one and a half year just to understand the introduction but now that part is over and studying of runes has finally begun.

After studying the runes for a few days, one thought came into my mind that I've had underestimated these runes way too much.

Runes are a representation of world laws, each and every rune is very complex and elusive, I have spent days just to get a basic understanding of these runes. 

They are equally exciting as they are difficult and studying them aid me a lot mentally as it zapped all my mental stamina in an hour of just studying them.

After constant studying of these runes, I had noticed a small change in me.

I have become a lot calmer and my control over my ability also increased as well.

As I was studying, an idea flashed through my mind.

Why don't I give this book my parents to study, especially my mother to see if she had any interest in studying it?

It would be good if she produced some interest in it.

I studied the book for an hour and unconsciously fell into sleep without closing the book in my holowatch.
