[ Sadako The Demon Of Neodeka ]

The tale of the life of the daughter of the king. She was cast out of the castle at a young age and forced to work as a slave. 

This poor lonely girl would one day become the powerful demon known as Sadako Gravestone.

Callea was trying to get the feels of their visitor while cooking at the kitchen. They were with Deive at the living room. According to Deive, he has been friends with those men since they were kids. They were also Deive's business partners. They didn't say much but she knew that they don't like her for Deive. Even when she changed her church dress to one the nice dresses that Deive bought for her, the tension was still there. They were still uncomfortable with her.

She was not the Callea they were expecting. She was not the normal beautiful woman that her grandfather was selling.

"I think that is done, señorita," Marina said then tapped her arm. She was cooking chicken adobo with coconut milk. (Adobo is a popular Filipino dish where fish, pork, beef, chicken or vegetable would be cooked with soy sauce and vinegar and other spices. Callea's recipe was special because it has coconut milk in it.)

 She was zoning out. She didn't notice that Marina was back in the kitchen after she fixed the table at the dining area for dinner. She didn't want Marina to see the guests a while ago. She was protective of her because of her past experiences with strangers. But Deive insisted that Marina must meet his friends, too.

"They are kind and handsome, too." Marina was grinning from ear-to-ear. "Sir Averill even asked me if I am that hunchback in the story that you created. The one where people thought that she was a jinx but became the hero in the end." It was a particular favorite of Callea because she showed that not all beautiful creatures are kind and some who were considered ugly could have a good heart and even save a lot of people.

"Averill know about that? He reads my novels?" she asked in awe. Averill was a businessman. She never thought he had it in him to read graphic novels. And how did he know about her identity as an artist? Her works were popular, sure. But aside from her publisher, nobody knew the real identity of the artist behind her works. She hated attending book signings and meet and greet because she valued her privacy so much.

"Yes. Even the grumpy one is a fan of yours." Marina stopped for a bit to think. "Ah! That's Sir Lucian. Señorito Deive is so proud of you. He boasted you to his friends. You are not just a great artist but you are good in history as well. Now they are interested to visit the underground cemetery with you as their guide."

"Hmmm… Deive is now the ambassador of tourism."

"I also want to thank you."

"Why?" Callea asked and took the Pyrex container where she would put the adobo.

"Because some people looked at me differently now. I used to be treated as a jinx like I couldn't do anything good in this world. "This is the first time that some strangers treated me like a heroine because of the story you created. That I am not some devil's minion or a person with a communicable disease."

She put the Pyrex down and held her hand. "Marina, you are a good person. In God's eyes, we are all the same. We are all beautiful. It is only humans who put a standard on things. Even those who are beautiful experience human's cruelty." And she felt sad when she remembered who had to pay for her beauty.

"Go to the visitors now. I will put the food on the table," said Marina and shooed her away.

Callea removed her apron and left the kitchen. At the living room, Keiran was playing the piano. Deive and his friends were laughing with Sydney's antics about her graphic novel that he read. It was a piece of happy jazz music and was fit for jovial mood.

They stopped talking when Lucian saw her. "Your bride is here," he said to Deive.

Sydney stopped talking and moving entirely and his jaw was slack. He looked like he was afraid to move. He was still afraid of her. He apologized for screaming a while ago when she took off her veil. She couldn't laugh much afterward because he looked like he was about to have a heart attack. Deive had to give him his water canister and made her drink water to calm him down. She promised not to scare him anymore. Well, not that much.

She forced a smile. "Dinner will be ready in a bit."

"I could smell the ginataang adobo. It makes me hungrier," said Lucian and stood up.

While Averill walked towards her. She noticed that he was holding a copy of her graphic novel and a pentel pen. "Could you please sign an autograph for me?"

She stepped back and shook her head. "I don't sign autographs. I mean, not in person." She didn't even want to face her fans. It was weird that someone asked her to personally sign her book.

Lucian crossed his arms over his chest. Drat! The man looked intimidating when his attention was focused on her. "As Deive's future, you can't refuse us. In return, we will guard Deive so he won't stray to other women."

"Don't be like that, man," Deive complained. "I am a good boy. I am faithful." Then Deive smiled at her. "Please sign it for my friends."

He couldn't say no to Deive at that point. His friends would find it more it weirder if she would refuse them furthermore. She took the pentel pen from Averill. She was a bit shaking as she signed her book that had just been released at the market last month. She smiled when she got a hang of it. It also felt great to sign her own book. "Just make sure that my identity will be anonymous to others. I just gave in because you would make sure that Deive won't go back to his womanizing ways."

Deive scratched his own head. "I am a good boy," he insisted.

"Can I make a request?" asked Sydney and raise his hand. "Deive said you like cosplaying the characters you created. Can you cosplay the red vampire Zapira for me? I got a crush on her."

"What?!" exclaimed Deive and hooked his arm on Sidney's neck and tried to choke him.

The rest of them laughed. It was crazy. They were so adorable. And she realized that she hadn't laughed for a long time in the company of strangers. Before it comes easily. That was the old her. She never thought she would experience it again. It was liberating. Deive made him laugh again. With that laugh, Deive also opened the door to her heart. And she would let him inside her heart even if he won't ask for it.

An arranged marriage to a perfect bride.

To keep him in line, playboy Deive Hontiveros needs to marry Callea Lopez so he could start his own business. He thought he got lucky when he sees how beautiful and caring Callea is.

She lives in a haunted mansion though and he got plagued by a mysterious ghost of a woman and her cat from hell.

He must protect his bride at all cost. 

But what if Callea is one with the darkness?

Moon: At first the dragonets didn't believe Moon, Tsunami asked Moon lots of questions like like what am I thinking of or what type of food is Clay thinking about? Meanwhile Clay was very upset sitting in the corner thinking about how his own brother could do that.

A few minutes later Sunny and Glory came in with Umber. Clay ran to Umber, and Umber started crying. "Why would you do that?" said Clay holding back tears. "Because she killed Crane! I saw her do it and I wanted revenge!" Moon decided it was best that she leave and let the dragonets solve this. Moon was going to gather her friends and tell them about her powers too.


Winter: "So you have been reading my mind this whole time!" Winter yelled. "Yes, I also have more news" replied Moon "They found the dragon who tried to kill Icicle." "Hold up! You have been able to read my mind this whole time?!" said Kinkajou "That's soooo cool, but I am mad that you didn't tell me sooner, I mean I am your best friend!" " Well that you know I have something to give you, it's part of a meteor that allows you to hide your thoughts." Moon said

Winter was on a mission, he was determined to have a few "words" with this Mudwing who tried to kill his sister. Although he felt kind of bad knowing that Icicle had killed the Mudwings sister. Still Winter was mad, mad at Moon for reading his thoughts, mad at the Mudwing, and mad at Icicle for killing a Mudwing. Winter was grateful for the stone that Moon gave him tho. "At least now she can't hear my thoughts." Winter thought

Both: Moon had heard Winters thoughts right before she gave him the stone. He was going to kill the Mudwing and Moon had to stop him. Winter was on his way to the entrance hall where he knew the Mudwing would be. He was just about to enter the room when Moon walked up behind him. Moon told Winter "I know you are mad at Umber (the Mudwing) I would be to but I think you should just let him go he feels bad as it is and Icicle did kill his sister." I know that you are mad but we will figure this out, together.

Hi guys, this is me, Bastino Mhika, author of WELCOME TO THE GAMING WORLD, providing you with an author Q&A transcript. I want to do these more often so if you would like to see your name mentioned or any of your questions answered, just use the following means. 
Email me your questions via johnmhika@gmail.com
Tweet me your questions via twitter at https://twitter.com/BastinoMhika
Or follow me on Instagram https://instagram.com/thegreatbastino 


So the next round of questions will be for when I pass chapter 60, so keep supporting me by voting with your power stones, recommending this book to your friends and giving me feedback. I am currently short on reader reviews, so feel free to give me your honest opinion about my book thus far.  So let's get right into it. The character B will be used to represent me and the other names will be those of people who asked me questions.


Sodaldo98: "Hi man, I like reading your book, even though the first chapters had walls of text. I was wondering why doesn't the MC, Tanatswa, not get along with his mom that well? I think if the mother hooked him up with some connections he would have job. Just curious."
B: "Well, in my experience, especially in the country I live in, Zimbabwe, there are high expectations for young men to get their act together once they have graduated from university. Tanatswa's failure reflects badly on his parent and also his interest in unconventional fields like manga art, music production and game development, which are not careers that parents would think of for their kids, make him seem unfocused. So he doesn't get along with his mother because he has failed at the normal way of doing things plus his interests in other things are a mystery to her, which makes her associate it with senseless drivel. He was just unlucky."
RemroseXOXO: "Do you like petite girls? The MC's love interest is short and petite, but she is very quirky and foul mouthed."
B: "I think petite women can be very nice to look at, especially the cute ones who are compact. I like them, but if you read the recent chapters with Shami, she has abandoned her petite heritage and now I feel betrayed." 
Narutoneverdiedboruto: "I like the fight between Tanatswa and Tichaona. I noticed that people find out the name of their abilities when they reach level 2. Do the names of their ability give away the kind of power they will have?"
B: "Yes. Not all titles will be obvious, but if you can guess their abilities through their titles than you have an advantage over them."
Cherrypompom: "Shami and Tanatswa get together and have graphic sex in your book? Did it have to be that graphic?"
B: "Well, for the story, I think it was necessary. In some aspects of writing, one may depict sex between two lovers in a romanticised way, with just 'they made love' and you leave the rest to your imagination. In my case, I realised that two highly attractive people, living alone together, one being unexperienced and passive whilst the other one being overt and direct, would lead to eventual sexual activity, but the basis behind it was lust. Without the escape of modern conveniences like contraceptives, it's risky business having unprotected sex. So the graphic nature of the depiction was to show how people can get lost in the act without considering the consequences. Pleasure can ensnare people so the depiction had to be raw, irreverent and carnal, because as soon as they were done love making, they were now dealing with other problems."
Sichijpop: "Is this going to be a long novel? Because I love binge reading long books."
B: "Yes, definitely this book is going to be a bit lengthy, but to be honest, I don't know how long. Maybe 500 chapters max or more. If I feel like there is more to tell and people are still interested in reading it, then I assure you, you will have a lot to binge read."
Nier2bnot2b: "Most of your characters have unique backgrounds like the female lead Shami who was studying architecture in university, the film maker Malcom and the most surprising of all, Clarice the pornstar. Why did you create a character that did porn for a living?"
B: "Well, I think as much as porn stars stimulate people's hormones by having sex on camera for entertainment, they are still people who are acting as these personas and have lives of their own. In today's current social media environment as well as entertainment industry, people see the persona and not the person. Pornography can be dehumanizing for the actors who are probably trying to make a living by portraying these characters who are mindless sex addicts that can be objectified. It's all smoke and mirrors at the end of the day, even if it's socially unacceptable in most cultures. So Clarice is an extreme case because she is neither a YouTuber who pretends to be loud and gregarious nor some teen socialite who behaves a certain way to get views, but everyone goes through some process which is just like doing a job to get money. Some make prank videos, some have sex and have their videos posted online."
Tennytom: "When will we see the blue poison lady's brother? I love the plot twist about the reason why they are in Goshem, keep it up!"
B: "You will get some foreshadowing about his appearance, but not anytime soon. A lot will happen before they will have to face him. By the way, thank you for your appreciation of my work, I will work had to post more."


That's it folks, I will do these Q&A segments more often, so all you gotta do is ask me questions via the means I listed at the beginning. Get excited for the next chapter and don't forget to rate, share, comment and support the book. Later!

A young man struggles with unemployment, failed dreams and overall becoming a useless member in society and decides to kill himself. Upon seeking this method of death, he encounters a being from the alternative realm who gives him an option of starting his life over from scratch, from level 1 on his planet. This gives him the chance to finally carve out a path for himself that he could never do on earth.

If you enjoy the book, please do leave a book review or comment. I will try my best to respond to all of them so please do. It helps me out. Also, the paperback version of this novel will be available soon so if you want hardcopies, it will be available on Amazon.com

Abby went through the next year in a blur. She forced herself to keep studying because it was the only thing that kept her going. She stopped spending time with her friends and spent way too much time looking through old memories of her sister. 
Photo albums. Home videos. Katie's diaries and social media accounts. It was impossible to accept that she was truly gone even though Abby didn't get her daily random texts anymore. 
Graduation was especially hard. A few of her aunts and uncles had come out for the occasion but it wasn't the same. Her parents should have been there. Katie should have been there. 
Losing her parents had been horrible but at least she had Katie to hold her together. Who was supposed to hold her together now that she had lost her best friend? 
Abby got a well-paid graphic design job right off the bat and buried herself in her work. But when she wasn't able to do that, she decided to finally get to the list of things Katie had always bugged her about watching and reading that she never had time for. 
Comics. Novels. TV shows. She spent several months consuming all that media and frequenting stopping to sob as she wondered which parts her sister had wanted her to see the most. She only recommended things she was certain Abby would like. 
 Once that list was complete, Abby felt like she had lost her sister all over again. There was nothing left that Katie was telling her to do. 
That was how she ended up desperately checking her sister's old Goodreads account for every book she had ever bothered to post a review for, both good and bad. She found herself frequently agreeing with the reviews Katie had left behind. 
Even though not all of the books were her cup of tea, Abby felt a little closer to her sister again. She was a bit confused when she got to From Pastry Chef to Princess though. For the first time, she didn't agree with Katie's review. 
'If you're looking for a cute, cliché fantasy love story with 2-D characters and minimal world-building this is the book for you. (I literally only read it because someone left it behind at the doctor's office and I was stuck waiting for three hours)'
What about these characters was 2-D in her mind? Sure, Prince Alpheus had been pretty boring at first but Catherine du Pont was a riot. Watching him fall for her had actually been pretty fun even though she was frustratingly resistant to him. 
The book was in his point of view, which didn't make a lot of sense. It seemed more like Catherine, who preferred to be called Katie, was the main character. But the synopsis on the back of the novel had clearly indicated this book was about Marcy. 
Abby's heart ached as she read because this Katie reminded her so much of her own. Tears ran down her face as she laughed at some of the things this girl said and did. It was a fantasy novel but she didn't act like she belonged in it at all. 
She was surprised that things like pizza and doughnuts were included in the book, especially since none of the other characters seemed to know anything about them. There were a lot of inconsistencies like that. 
The book's Katie was a know-it-all bookworm with a weird sense of humor just like her sister. And she seemed oddly like one of those transmigrated characters in the comics from the list Katie gave her even though everyone else truly believed she was Catherine du Pont. 
Abby became more and more confused as the story went on. The only reason she hadn't stopped reading at all was because she felt oddly drawn to this character and what she was dealing with. 
More than halfway through the book, she read something so shocking that she dropped it slipped right through her fingers and onto the ground.  
"My name was Katrina Pullman but I had gone by Katie my entire life. I am not from Annalaias or any of the surrounding nations. I am from another world in a place called Arizona. Everything I ever said was from the country…was actually from my home.
"All of my knowledge came from things I learned back home. Jellyfish…politics…card games…hat looms….I want to be a librarian because that was my job before. I died in a carriage accident and somehow woke up in Catherine du Pont's body."
All of the odd things about Katie finally fit together in her husband's mind as she continued to speak but Abby felt like she might pass out after checking the next several pages multiple times to be sure she wasn't hallucinating. 
Was this some kind of sick joke? How would this author have even known that Katrina Pullman died in a car accident? Let alone that she had lived in Arizona and had a sister named Abby? 
There were too many specific details from Katie's life in this book. The author had to have known her but that didn't make sense either. Katie had been such a private person. She spent all of her free time alone or video chatting with her little sister when Abby wasn't swamped with homework or had other plans. 
She frantically flipped the book over to check who the author was. Janine Everett. Abby had never heard of her. She wanted to angrily demand how her sister had ended up inside this author's story—was there no respect for the dead anymore?—but she was compelled to finish it first to see if there were any more weird facts about Katie in there. 
Abby ended up rereading the entire book twice, skipping over unimportant parts that didn't specifically mention anything weird or different about Katie. She wrote down every single instance in a notebook, with page and paragraph numbers for reference. 
The next thing she did was track that author down. She had a website—apparently this wasn't the only book she had ever published—and on it was an email address for fans to contact her through. 
She sent a very strongly worded message demanding to know what was going on with this book. To her surprise, the author wanted to meet with her face to face so they set up a time to video chat.

Katie Pullman, a chronically ill girl who spends her life immersed in fiction, suddenly finds herself inside a novel she has read. Thrown right into the thick of things, she desperately tries to keep the plot intact but happy endings aren't always as they seem...

Making a donation to the Matthew Davis Cancer Research Foundation in Kathy's name was a refreshing experience, but it was only a small episode of daily life. It was soon forgotten by Zhang Zian and had been moved to the corner of his memory.  
Life had to continue. He had the same usual start to his daily business and work schedule: He woke up, practiced his boxing, and cleaned the shop. 　 
Lu Yiyun came to work with Jasmine on her back and the graphic tablet in her arms.　
Before long, Wang Qian and Li Kun, who had not been seen for days, showed up in the shop wearing new clothes and carrying local produce in their hands, looking merry and festive.　　 
"Come and taste it, everyone. We brought this from home––it's homemade and absolutely clean." They shared their local snacks with Zhang Zian and Lu Yiyun. Most of them were smoked or dried fish and meat, while the others were fish and meat prepared in unknown ways. They tasted good; the rustic cooking of the countryside gave them a special flavor.　　
Zhang Zian was more concerned with another question: "How much red packet money did you get for the New Year?" 　　 
They started counting with their fingers.　　 
"I got 3400 RMB."　　 
"Haha, I got 3800 RMB––almost enough for a new phone. Too bad that I can't afford an iPhone."　　 
"That much?" Zhang Zian leaned himself against the broomstick, his face full of envy.
Wang Qian sighed. "We got more this year than last year. One reason is that our relatives gave us more money after knowing that we won the Merit Student award. Another reason is that we are graduating from University this year, and we won't get red packet money anymore. This is our last supper." She said this with regret.　　 
Zhang Zian thought about it, then proposed a bad idea. "How about delaying the graduation?"　　 
Wang Qian and Li Kun said, "Master, please don't be a jinx. Especially not during the Chinese New Year…" 　　 
Lu Yiyun was envious as well. She didn't say anything, though; she just ate the snacks in her hand in silence.　　 
"Right. The two of you go to the food market first and get two fresh Crucian Carps," Zhang Zian instructed them.　　 
"Oh, did the cats in the shop give birth to kittens? We saw the message in the public account but couldn't do anything to help you back then…" 
They understood what he was saying right away. "We either smoke or preserve the fish in our hometown. We don't have fresh fish."　　 
"Cut the nonsense and hurry up. Come back quickly. I'm waiting to make the soup."　　 
Zhang Zian sent them out while he cleaned the shop himself. He asked Lu Yiyun to clean up the branch store next door.　　 
As the New Year's holidays came to an end, the shops on Zhonghua Road reopened for business one after another. The peddlers at the food market also restarted their business, and Wang Qian and Li Kun could buy fish there every day again. Zhang Zian no longer needed Snowy to send the fish over.　　 
Unlike the usual days, Fina wasn't dozing off on the cat tree. It stared at the pedestrians outside curiously and asked, "What's happening in this country today? Why do all the pedestrians look as if their mothers have passed away?"　　 
"Something big is happening," Zhang Zian answered while sweeping the floor. "As the Spring Festival break is over, people have to go back to work. Soon, the students will go back to school."　 
"Pooh!" Fina said. "Should the servants of our godly kingdom have such a lazy and sloppy attitude? I'm sending all of them to build the pyramid!" 　　 
"All right, all right. We'll surely build a big and solid pyramid, which will never fall down in tens of thousands of years," Zhang Zian responded half-heartedly while telling himself that he shouldn't be too serious about it. 　　 
"That's the way it should be. There are a lot of people in this country, anyway." Fina yawned with satisfaction, then asked as if it suddenly remembered something. "Oh, right. These days the TV has been talking about 'out with the old, in with the new' and 'restless chickens and dogs,' etc. What do they mean?"　　 
"'Restless chickens and dogs?' I believe you mean 'dogs come after chickens!' Don't misuse the expressions…" Zhang Zian explained, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "This is the Chinese Zodiac, in which the dog comes after the chicken, and the pig comes after the dog. It makes a full circle every 12 years."　　 
"Oh, is that so?" Fina thought about it, and then asked seriously, "Where is cat, then? Before the chicken?"　　 
"Well…" Zhang Zian didn't know how to respond. There was not a cat in the Chinese Zodiac, which was known among all Chinese people. How could he explain this to this cat who was feeling so great about itself?　　
He looked at Old Time Tea for help, but Old Time Tea lowered the rim of its bamboo hat to focus on the TV.　　 
Famous was lying next to the reclining chair. It didn't fall asleep, but it kept its eyes tightly closed as if it was playing dead. It was determined not to get involved in this.　　
Fina observed the faces around it. Then its expression turned serious immediately.
Zhang Zian used some quick wits and tried to muddle through this. "After the pig comes the mouse, after the mouse comes the cow, after the cow comes the feline… family."  　
The word "feline" was loud, while the word "family" was quiet.　　 
Tiger is part of the feline family, right? 　　 
Zhang Zian's smart scheme didn't escape Fina's ears, however.　　 
"Feline family? What is a feline family?" Fina stared at him coldly. "I'm ordering you to tell me the truth. If I ever find out again from Pi's novel that you are fooling me, well…"　
The "well" was pronounced in such a long and meaningful way that it made Zhang Zian shudder. He felt that it was a mistake to encourage Pi to write a novel.　　 
"Meow, meow, meow! Your Majesty, this man is making up stories again!"　　 
Snowy Lionet would certainly jump out in such an occasion. It licked its paws and stared at Zhang Zian's pants with an evil intention. "Your Majesty, he's fooling you. There isn't a cat in the Chinese Zodiac. The so-called 'feline family' is actually a tiger!"　
"Tiger?" Fina was more astonished than angry. "There is no 'cat' in the Chinese Zodiac? Tell me, then––which 12 animals are in the Chinese Zodiac?"　　 
"Meow, meow, meow! Let me think. There should be the mouse, cow, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, lamb, monkey, chicken, dog… and him!" Snowy Lionet pointed at Zhang Zian.　　 
"You are the pig!" Zhang Zian was unwilling to take the insult.　　 
Snowy Lionet waved its paws to demonstrate power. "Pooh, pooh, pooh! Calling you a pig is a compliment. Pigs are better than you––a lying, foul man!" 
"Even mice are included? And the dragon––the non-existent animal––has joined the party? But our mighty Mytha is not there!" Fina said in anger. "What's wrong with this world? Whoever made up this Chinese Zodiac should be sent away to build the pyramid!"
"When the Chinese Zodiac was being made, your Mytha had not yet been brought into China. After you finally arrived, it was already late and the Zodiac had already been made…" Zhang Zian answered in honesty. "Mice were infesting things everywhere and were damaging everything. They didn't have any natural predators, so people feared them. If they had cats back then, mice would have been out of the picture."　　 
"It's not too late to make amends," Fina said with self-righteousness. "I have made a decision. Starting the next year of the mouse, everyone born in that year will take the cat as their Zodiac sign! Or it's okay to change all Zodiac signs into cats, such as Siamese cats, British Shorthair, Ragdoll…they will take turns. Of course, Egyptian Mau must be put first!" 
Zhang Zian was speechless and pondered. Luckily, ancient Egypt didn't rule the world. Otherwise, my Zodiac sign will be Devon Rex…
