Elves and magic, fancy swords and shiny armor, and the most over used tropes seem to make up every MMO game on the market today. Humanities Homecoming: Retaking Earth is not like all those games. Terrans are on the brink of extinction and Kevin Yore, just like all the other VRMMO players out there, are diving in to do their best to reverse this fate and save their kind. 

Kevin might not be the smartest, strongest, fastest, or even luckiest person. In fact, he might just be an average person. No System. No Fortunate encounter. No memories of a past life. Just an average guy making a mark on the world with the only thing he believes himself to be good at, video games. 

Will you join him in his adventures of the Milky Way Galaxy? Will you curse him when he makes a stupid mistake? Will you cheer for him when he survives that harrowing brush with death? Or as Kevin would say “will you sit on your pampered a** and watch a great experience pass you by?”

He was already gone, but Jeff cradled him in his arms. For the first and last time he spoke every thought in his mind. He was the only one to mourn at his funeral.

"You know what that thing did to him, it broke him." Jeff muttered.

"It didn't break him Jeff, neither did you... he was already broken." Guru said as he stood up to dust himself off.

"Do you think this kid will turn out so differently?" Jeff spat.

"He already has," Guru replied without hesitation.

"... I guess that's true.." Jeff nodded, "But what has that got to do with me? You've brought him to meet me which is more than I can say for any of your new students, so... spill."

Guru scratched his beard a little, "Well I was hoping you'd teach him as well."

Jeff stared at him, frozen in his own world. Guru waved his hands in front of Jeff's face, "Uh hello?.." after not getting a response he decided to leave the room. Just as he closed the door a scream rang out from in the room. "WHATT!!!"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So give it to me straight, how many people have we lost?" Jyaha asked, he'd already heard enough reports the whole day and decided to retreat to his room, telling his aid to just tell him the news once the had a complete number.

His aid just kept his eyes on the page, several times he had slightly parted his lips to give an answer but decided to close it again mid way.

Crash!! a chalice was thrown at him who just barely raised his hands to shield his face from the item and the spray of liquid. "Out with it then!!"

"We sent about... 180 men... and..."

"And...?"

"123 confirmed dead, the rest are either unrecognizable or AWOL."

As he said those words he'd already raised his clip board to block and incoming knife which stopped right as it tapped his nose, drawing a single drop of blood which ran down his chin.

"Get out!!" Jyaha screamed before launching several other items at his poor fleeing underling.

"D%&n him!! I guess we have to take everything a notch higher."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the other hand Eyisha was completely powerless on her couch, there was no longer a fight left in her. In one fell swoop she'd lost almost all of her covert operatives and her strongest defense line had gone missing in action.

She could only look up and stare at a portrait of her family. Her father and proud brother's standing next to their beloved sister and daughter. They'd always loved her and her talent, telling everyone that she was born a genius. Only now did that word feel like a mockery in her heart.

Wasn't she doing this for her kingdom? for her people? Why was it that even when she put her hands on the darker side of the world that she'd never wanted to touch, when she decided to set aside her own conscience to put her priorities forward that she still became so miserable.

The words of Chora rang out in her mind, "...even if she is doing it for the people, she's got the nicest spot to do it from while the rest of them are tearing the world apart trying to reach it."

"What am I supposed to do... Father... Brothers..." she said softly alone in her room with only a little light filtering in, it made her feel better cause then no one could see her eyes glisten in the dark.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The cause for all of the current turmoil was in a weird position right now, he had one hand holding him up from the ground while his one leg was bent forward while his other leg was straightened all the way to the back as far is he could go.

On the bent leg a crystal ball was shaking from the slight vibrations of his body as it teetered on his toes, just a slight gust away from falling. "Are you sure this is right?" Zhao Wei gasped. He found it was a lot more difficult to try and speak while he was upside down, he could fight easily, but to produce words normally was beyond him.

On his left, Thirteen was propping up her chin with her tail which bent upwards for her to hug her hands round. "Well it's sort of a training made for us Naga, so I'm not sure how exactly it's supposed to look like for humans."

He opened his eyes to glare at her, they were turning bloodshot from the blood rushing into his head. "You couldn't have told me this about 2 hours ago!?"

He was finding difficulty finding physical training that could push his body to the limit, his physical body had gone far beyond what a normal person could do. At this point even if he spent the whole day doing weighted push ups from day till night and even day again there was little chance of him being tired.

Of course his own body contained Tantra and mana which had also somewhat reinforced it the last time but he felt like he still needed to do some form of physical training despite it. Also, his body was changing. With the constant Tantra meditation from the second method Guru gave him, his bones had become ridiculously flexible, but at the same time, when he extended himself to his full capabilities, he found that he could exert no strength there.

He felt it in his fight with Thirteen, although he'd used his flexible body to be able to kick her he knew that most of the damage came from his weight rushing into her, the impact from the blow was little to say the least, just extremely jarring.

The earth explodes in size, bringing with it great beauty and monstrosities. Wang Zhao Hui, a man singled out by the great cataclysm forges a road towards what he lost as the only trapper with a broken system (as in it doesn’t work)

The fluorescent light of the computer was shining upon Pi's face, and its clip-on glasses were glowing from the metal, made of an unknown material.
It lightly pressed on the keys one after another on the keyboard, out of fear of disturbing the other's rest. Since its typing speed couldn't keep up with the speed of its thinking, the progress of its writing had inevitably been slowed down. But it had no other choice. 
In the dead of night, even the fan sound from the laptop was particularly harsh. From time to time, Pi tilted its head to look around the bedroom and see if it had disturbed Zhang Zian or the other elves.
After Zhang Zian and Snowy Lionet finished their argument, silence returned to the room. Because of its night blindness, Richard, who had always been nosey, couldn't participate in their conversation. 
Old Time Tea always slept soundly, like it could stay asleep even if Mount Tai were to collapse over its head. 
Galaxy looked at Pi once and closed its eyes again, lying in the crib safely and covered by the soft moonlight.
Pi and Fina looked each other in the eyes but quickly looked away.
Fina, who had slept enough during the day, didn't feel drowsy at all in the evening, and its majestic green eyes were glancing around the room.
Famous was still awake. Turning and tossing restlessly on its blanket, it was still looking forward to the grand premiere of the movie. A small night light at its spot provided a little dim light for it. 
After arriving at the pet shop, Pi had gradually become accustomed to such evenings. Almost every night before going to sleep, a certain elfin, usually Snowy Lionet or Richard, would make a scene, as if it were some kind of ritual before sleeping. 
Pi tried to ignore Fina's awe-inspiring gaze and focused on the screen in front of it, thinking about the following storyline of its novel. 
After a while, the lower right corner of the screen indicated that it was 11 pm.
Pi suddenly felt relieved. Firstly, it had almost finished writing that day's chapters. And secondly, Fina's gaze was finally gone.
Snowy Lionet started to smack its lips. Old Time Tea snored from time to time. Famous kicked like it was having a nightmare, but it didn't wake up. 
From this time on, the night had truly overtaken the pet shop.
As the only awake elfin on the second floor, Pi was extremely pleased.
It yawned, took off its clip-on glasses and rubbed its aching and sore eyes before putting the glasses back on its nose. The words on the screen looked the same because the glasses did not actually have any degrees. It wore the glasses just to clearly read the words in the untitled book. 
In fact, Pi didn't want to stay up late, but for some reason, in the dead of night, its thinking was always exceptionally smoother, and the plots that baffled it during the day made sense to it during the night. As a famous saying goes, inspiration was just like a ghost; they both liked haunting in the night.
When Pi yawned for the second time, it finished writing that day's chapters and uploaded them.
When uploading the new chapters, it was inevitable for Pi to see the number of people who had added the novel to their libraries. 58 people had. The excitement of being immersed in its past stories was suddenly wiped away, after seeing such a number. 
Some authors liked to write something and communicate with the readers at the end of the chapters, but Pi had never done so because it didn't know if anyone was actually reading its novel. Although 58 readers had added the novel to their libraries, Pi felt that these people hadn't really read it. The empty comment section was the most obvious proof.
It moved the mouse to the "Publish" button but didn't press it yet. As if it had suddenly thought of something, Pi wrote in the "Message from Author" section at the end of a chapter: I don't know if anyone is reading this novel. Can anyone who has read this message please say something in the comment section?
After writing the message, it pressed the "Publish" button quickly, as if it would regret its decision if it hesitated. 
Would anyone say anything tomorrow?
It didn't hold any hope for this. It felt like its heart had become a cold stone and was constantly falling into an endless void.
Pi closed the Word document, turned off the computer, removed its glasses, and placed it on the untitled book. Then, it jumped onto the hammock chair. 
Although it had tried to move as quiet as possible, the chair still squeaked lightly, and slightly swayed back and forth. That was how the chair was designed. 
Pi held its breath nervously, cocked its ears, and listened to the sounds of the room.
Old Time Tea's snoring paused a little bit and resumed, while the sleep of other elves seemed not to have been affected.
Pi felt relieved. Finally, it could go to sleep, and it wished it could at least have sweet dreams. 
However, reality was not what it expected. 
As soon as it closed its eyes, the Word document and the stories that it had written earlier appeared before its eyes. The events that took place before it arrived at the pet shop projected in its mind, one by one. 
How interesting!
Eyes still closed, it smiled. How nice if I could come here a little earlier.
After a while, about at 11:30 or so, Pi, who had not yet fallen asleep, suddenly heard some slight rubbing sounds from the bedroom.
Was Snowy Lionet teasing Zhang Zian again? No matter what, it was too late at this point. If they were too loud and woke Fina up, Fina would surely be furious.
Pi opened its eyes to look around the room. To its surprise, what it saw was not Snowy Lionet's blue eyes, but was the light from Zhang Zian's cell phone screen. 
Was he not asleep so late in the night? Or was he just looking at the time?
He did look at the time and then turned his neck as if looking to in the direction of the desk. Pi quickly leaned its head back into the hammock chair.
After a moment, it quietly stuck its head back out and saw that Zhang Zian was still holding his cell phone. His cell phone screen had become the main light source in the room, so he probably didn't notice that Pi was watching him in the darkness.
Zhang Zian had not fallen back asleep after lying down. On one hand, he was guarding himself against an attack from Snowy Lionet. On the other hand, he wanted to go to sleep only after Pi had fallen asleep. When he heard that the sound of the computer fan disappeared, he wanted to go to sleep, but his drowsiness had already vanished. After staying in bed for a while, he picked up his cell phone. 
He opened up the Qidian app and found some novels with 100,000 to 200,000 words, ones with better performance on the website, and quickly began to browse the beginning parts of those books. 
Honestly, he could barely immerse himself into the stories, ones where the storylines were too straightforward and had no logic. Maybe he'd passed the age of reading for these kinds of books, but he knew that if he wanted progress and success, he must focus on learning the merits from others rather than criticizing other people's defects. Therefore, he tried his best to keep reading the books with patience and perseverance.
The room was quiet, except for the breathing of the elves all around. This made Zhang Zian feel at ease.
His drowsiness came back while he was reading these books. Several times, he unknowingly started to fall asleep, and his hand that was holding the phone lowered down. Then, he would wake up abruptly and continue reading. 
The time passed slowly, and it was past one in the night.
He knew that he should go to sleep now, or he else he would be very sleepy during the day tomorrow. He repeatedly told himself that he would go to sleep after reading the next book. However, he kept reading one after the other.
He only browsed the first 100,000 words, which were the first 40 or 50 chapters of each novel, at a very rapid speed. He didn't need to interpret the plots of the books, he was just looking for the best parts among the choices of words and sentences. 
Compared to the text, he actually preferred reading the messages from the authors. Whether they were expressing gratitude or complaining, these messages documented the thoughts of the authors in the process of their writing. Although he had never met the authors whose novels didn't do well on the website, he particularly empathized with them. 
After reading another book, he was extremely sleepy. When he looked at the time on his mobile phone, it was already past two in the morning and he was only four hours away from getting up. He would be exhausted during the day. Should he go to sleep then?
But there was only one book left in his library. He hesitated for half a second and decided to sleep after reading this final book. It was probably his OCD causing himself trouble. 
This was an urban novel named Diplomats of the Underworld. The tags of the novel were hilarious, rebirth, and ghosts. Honestly speaking, this novel had nothing in common with the book written by Pi. But it was published half a month earlier than Pi's novel and had currently uploaded less than 200,000 words, but nearly 10,000 readers had added it into their libraries. It must have some perks making it so attractive. 
Since there was only one book left, he motivated himself to stay focused and opened the novel.
The plot of the novel was roughly about the protagonist being reborn for some reason. Not only had he been reborn, but he had also gained an extra system in his head that enabled him to communicate with ghosts. The system assigned him to kill the evil spirits and wicked people, and he would be rewarded with equipment if he fulfilled his tasks.
The novel's word choices and expressions were somewhat awkward and there were many typos, but at least it wasn't boring. He read the novel chapter by chapter, and when it was nearly three in the morning, he'd already read 50 chapters and about 100,000 words. Normally, he would have switched and read the next novel by the time he'd reached these many words. However, this was the only novel left in his library, so he decided to read ten more chapters. Besides, he hadn't found the highlights of the novel yet. If it had no great parts, how did it become successful?
If he still couldn't find any highlights after reading ten more chapters, he would go to sleep. He decided that he could stay up no longer.
When he read Chapter 57, the finger that had been swiping the screen to turn pages abruptly froze. 
At the end of Chapter 57, the author complained that he'd been writing the novel for a month, but the performance of his book wasn't good. One part among the writing had deeply touched Zhang Zian. 
I've been preparing this book for a long time. Having no sense of shame at all, I want to say that I have been hoping to rock the web novel community with this novel. I feel so upset that my novel has not gained any recognition or opportunities.
Zhang Zian could feel the author's resentment from this. Meanwhile, he still was curious. When the author wrote Chapter 57 of this novel, its performance was doing poorly, but currently, it was doing quite well. What had happened during this period?
He continued reading the book.
The answer was revealed two chapters later.
At the end of Chapter 59, the author wrote this:
I'm not sure how to say it, but my mood has been on a rollercoaster the whole day. To be exact, this began early in the morning yesterday. After talking with Morning Gorilla Star in the comment section, he included my novel in his reading list. Since he has so many friends, there are many people who follow his reading list. More readers have begun to notice my books. Thanks to those who have included my novel in their reading lists.
What was going on?
Zhang Zian had a flicker of interest. This was the second time he saw the term reading list. The first time he saw it was on the Wang Haige Forum. At that time, someone responded to a post and said that it was useless to advertise in the comment section, but it was useful to advertise in reading lists. 
The situation of the novel had gotten better after only two chapters?
He wasn't in the mood to read plots he wasn't interested in. He quickly scrolled to the later parts of the novel. In Chapter 84, he saw that 5,000 readers had put this novel into their libraries, while at Chapter 59, that number was less than 1,000.
Things had changed tremendously in only 25 chapters.
That was how it happened then. Reading lists could really turn something bad to good and make more people notice their novel. However, if the authors of novels wanted the creators of reading lists to notice their novels and include them in the reading lists, the authors must advertise their books in reading lists first. 
What exactly was a reading list and why was it so powerful?
So the person named Morning Gorilla Star was probably a creator of a reading list?
Zhang Zian's brain was weakened by extreme drowsiness. He stared at the dark ceiling and thought for a while, but he had no clue in the end. It would be better for him to think about the matter when he woke up in the morning.
Scared that he would forget about it when he woke up, he added a bookmark to Chapter 59. After that, he put his cell phone under his pillow, closed his eyes, and quickly fell asleep.
After the light of the mobile phone's screen went out, the room was once again filled with darkness. The only light source was the dim night light near Famous.
Zhang Zian had been very careful while reading the books, thinking that he'd better not make any noises to disturb the sleep of the elves. Still, some elves had woken up once and a certain elfin had never slept.
For a few hours, Pi watched him in the dark. Unlike Galaxy, Fina, Old Time Tea or Snowy Lionet, its eyes did not glow in the dark because it did not have tapetum lucidum behind its retinas. But it also wasn't as blind as Richard in the dark. No one had noticed its open eyes. 
From the side of the hammock chair, Pi exposed half of its head and saw that the glows of several pairs of eyes appeared and disappeared. Zhang Zian's brow furrowed and stretched in front of his cell phone screen, and the moonlight quietly changed its angle as time passed.
It's time to sleep. Many times, Pi wanted to remind Zhang Zian to go to sleep. You have to get up so early in the morning, and then you need to carry out the heavy cleaning work, apply for loans from the bank, discuss the decoration of the shoe store with the construction team, and deal with all kinds of difficult customers. If you don't sleep well, you'll be very sleepy.
But Pi didn't tell Zhang Zian this because it couldn't speak. Since the computer was turned off, it couldn't type either. But the most important reason that it did not remind Zhang Zian was because it needed to bite on its wrist to stop from crying out loud.
Why?
Why not just tell me to give up? Isn't that simpler?
There are so many more important things than my novel that you need to attend to. For example, Galaxy is still afraid of human beings, Fina is keeping its thoughts to itself, Old Time Tea is getting old, Snowy Lionet always likes to pull pranks on you, Richard doesn't want to love anymore, and Famous is still stuck in another world.
Why did you spend time on my novel that is bound to fail?
Why...did you spend time on me?
Pi's canine teeth had already left four deep teeth marks on its arm. It pulled back its head and pulled up the blanket to cover itself, crouching in the chair like a baby in the arms of its mother. 
As the chair slightly squeaked, several pairs of eyes opened and glowed. Then, the glows went out as the cat elves closed their eyes.
The dead of night.

Most of the buildings outside the wall survived the initial blast.  The massive wall didn't quite contain the blast which was disappointing.  Military forces converged on the area.  Spy planes moved over the area constantly.  Drones covered the area sending back data to who knows where. 

 This wasn't what he wanted, but he remained as a shadow clone on the tallest building.  The price for ultimate freedom and privileges was responsibility.  For once he understood why Ace killed him.  
He named the jutsu Star Fallen.  Unlike an actual nuke, this jutsu didn't spill radiation everywhere.  Messing with such destructive forces made him nervous.  He would rather punch his problems away than glassing an area.  

It held the power to destroy a planet if directed towards that end.  If he had capped the wall, then the explosive force would have directed to the planet alone.  He didn't know if the planet would go or the cap would burst.  His earth walls were sage art ranked with plenty of chakra devoted to keeping them sturdy.  The problem was Star Fallen was a new technique he had been toying with for a while.  If he added a shuriken feature or maybe a drilling effect well the planet's core might well get pierced.  It would void the earth's warranty in a way.  Life would no longer be sustainable on the planet, but it wouldn't destroy the planet.  

He let his body light up in his cloak before leaping off the sky scraper.  Bastion landed easily enough on the pavement below.  His landing didn't turn a stone.  He approached a reporter.  Members of the CCG were at the scene even Arima.  He raised his quinque but it would do him no good.  
"Why did you do this?  Who are you where did you come from?" A reporter asked.  The CCG agents tensed up waiting for him to do something.  

A grin lit his face.  "I'm glad you asked.  As for the why, a virus with low levels of sentience infected the 22nd ward hours after it was introduced.  In days it would have taken the destruction of Japan to rid the world of it.  This virus does not discriminate between rodents, humans, insects, or ghouls it takes over the host and changes their behavior.  It directs them to spread the virus and when it has infested the host to a certain point, it harvests their biomass.  To create a much stronger infected.  That's what I've observed thus far.  I'm unsure if this worked or if this has merely slowed the infection down."  Bastion said.  

"How did this happen who set off the initial infection?"  The reporter yelled.  The cameras were already cut off, but the reporter still asked questions.  The CCG surrounded him, but they made no move to attack.  

"Stand down all of you.  If what he says is true, then he made the hard decision for the good of us all.  The only question is are you on our side."  Yoshitoki Washuu asked.  Bastion observed the man with his sharingan.  The man looked proper enough by his life force he was likely Rize's brother.  They looked vastly different.  

"Side, what a mortal thing to say.  Does a farmer take sides when he euthanizes some livestock to save the others?  I've burned the sick to preserve the healthy nothing more.  Don't misinterpret my actions.  There is no weapon you have capable of doing me harm."  Bastions aid confidently.  The man looked at him with a raised eyebrow.  Bastion was curious if he smelt human.  In the cloaked state he used much of his giant's power.  Did the ghoul smell the lightning moving through his giant's body, did he smell the heat, the flow of coolant, and did he smell the hunger locked deep within his psyche?  "As for who I am, why would I tell you such a thing.  Now, be good little sheep, try not to panic, and don't be afraid to bleat loudly as you go to slaughter."  Bastion said and vanished in smoke.  

Later at his second hideout, he messed with a few designs.  A stylus clenched between his fingers as he drew seal after seal trying to create something intelligent.  His goal wasn't an AI but a simple machine that could duplicate and infect passively.  His goal was a seal that acted like a virus infecting a host and altering their cells much like a virus.  He was toying with making a seal that could duplicate itself and jump from host to host.  

His mind was full of seals of various make but the ones that did what he needed didn't quite fit together.  He knew this was possible but needed time to make it so.  Hours passed and Rize flipped on the TV.  The vampires were asleep since it was the middle of the day.  

The TV showed him in cloak form with a different face.  "Bleat loudly my sheep as you go to slaughter."  The clip was played repeatedly by CCG propaganda.  Rize cackled on the couch.  

"They played you good didn't they Bastion.  How does it feel knowing the sheep got one over on you?"  Rize asked.  Bastion sighed and put down his stylus.  

"What are you talking about?  Their doing exactly as I thought they would.  Now their distracted from the fight between ghouls and humans.  Perhaps, peace can come."  Bastion said.  Rize looked at him like she wasn't buying it.  "I was fucking around.  That doesn't mean they aren't proving my point.  The people are still buying my products.  I'll let them complain while their Washuu master pull the strings.  My game is 130 years long at least.  I want humanity off this rock and exploring the cosmos.  The sooner the better."  

"I'll be long dead before your game is over, why not let me leave some of myself behind?"  Rize asked.  

"You want to have children?"  Bastion said.  How could he have known?"  

"I want to have lots of children.  I don't want them to live in a cage made by the Washuu."  Rize said.  

"Alright, well have as many as you want."  Bastion said. 

A month after the incident Bastion had made something semi effective.  Giving a seal the ability to think wasn't hard.  Sealing as a ninja art was made to be flexible.  Bending the laws of reality with written script was made possible with chakra.  He could have bent his research towards space time like so many others.  The replication of seals like viruses could be more effective.  

His virus seal did one thing it enhanced the replication of cells.  Bastion attached it to a rat and watched as the rat became a blob of cancerous tumors in moments before passing on.  Grabbing design 2 he attached it to the next rat.  Whose body quickly separated before melting.  On and on, he killed hundreds of rats every day.  His seal did what it was meant to do.  It replicated his seal and invaded every cell in a host's body.  When the new rules he imposed on a cell activated, there was no flexibility.  The cell couldn't take it and died.  

He left behind several shadow clones to continue the task.  This could be the key to immortality.  Perfect duplication of cells wasn't currently possible.  The seal couldn't work on anyone with chakra.  A simple flare of chakra disrupted the fragile matrix of the seal and it would shatter.  It was much too early to consider this anything but a work in progress.  

There was a problem with making a viral seal.  If he had thought of it, then surely someone else has.  How much deadlier are they with it?  The point of his viral seal was to create an anti virus system.  What would other do with this?

Short chapters but I will publish often 7 chapters a week.  Give me a week to build them up

I open my eyes and the only thing that greets me is the darkness and a feeling of floating in a liquid. The time flies by and I begin to feel my body grow and taking on a more defined form. Sometime later I can feel the finished form of my body which is clearly not human, its more like that of a cat pared with a lizard. Now I begin to feel like the air is running low so I begin to struggle and hammer, scratch and ram against the walls that hold me in. A crack, and then blinding light.

I push my head trough the opening that I managed to create and take a deep breath of the fresh air in my lungs. Then I take a look around and the best thing that would describe my location would be ,,A laboratory,,.

After a short moment of confusion and shock I begin to free the rest of my body which is clothed in a combination of scales and fur. My legs/arms are agile and have rater long claws on them if you compare them to my body size. I also have a tail which is more of a tentacle than a tail because it doesn't have any bones but only muscles, also is it has some spike like things on it that are clinging flat to the tail but I know that I can unfold them if I want to. My head or snout has rows of sharp teethes and a long and flexible tongue in its mouth, a wet nose like a dog and big ears like a bat and cat combined. I dont know how my eyes look like but the are much better than a humans because I can see the dust particles and the vibration of the ground, but as if not enough I also see the heat of my surrounding. 

As Im already on it. I can see humanoid form of heat behind a mirror like wall. Most likely a one way window for the researcher to observe me.

like on command a little door opened and a row of bowl are being pushed out.

In the first of the right is a dead fish while in the second is a carrot, in the third is a uncooked steak and in the last is a salad.

They want to test what I eat. Good timing I can feel my body needing food to strength its structures like the bones, muscles, scales and fur.

Without wasting any more time I begin to eat without a care which bowl I take first because I know by instinct that I can eat any of these and it would only differ by its taste.

After finishing all the bowls I look at the humanoid heat signature and see how it write something down on a clip board if had to guess. Then it looked up and pushed most likely some buttons on the control panel to which in respond a new door opens and reveals a snake.

The snake slithers out of the door and made its way to me.

Taking the snake as a comparison I finally know how big I am. My size would be 40cm in length without the tail and 80cm with tail, my height is around 20-25cm if I dont  hold my head up.

The snake is now half a meter before me and is trying to intimidate me with its raised up head and opened mouth that hold two sharp fangs that after there look arent poisons.

I look at the snake and crouch deeper to the ground while tightening my leg muscles so that they are ready for a short burst of speed. At the same time I unfolded my spikes on my tail so that its ready for a deadly strike.

The snake slithers slowly closer and as soon it was only twenty centimeters away I dashed forward. With my claws I had a strong grip on the floor and was able to change my direction mid dash as the snake lungs at me from the front. As I pass the snake on the left I rammed my spiked tail in the face of the snake and killing it instantly.

The enemy is killed and it is time to get the reward. I stand over the dead snake and began to tear it apart and then devour it till not even a single scale is left of it.

Once again I look at the heat signature of the researcher which is starring at me as if waiting for something. I took it as a hint and began to concentrate on my body which has devoured the snake and realized that there is a new energy within my body. A energy that wants to strength and change my body but doesn't know what to strength or change.  

It looks like I can use this energy to strength or mutant my body to grow in power. With the confirmation of my instincts I willed the energy to upgrade my size because Im way to small right now to really have a chance to escape from here.

Instantly after I told the energy what I wanted I feel a burning sensation trough my whole body as if it is going to burst, I resist the burning and tearing with ease as I feet much worse before even tough Im not sure what it was. After around five minutes the pain stops and with it my bodies change.

My new size is around 60cm without tail and 140cm with tail, my height is 30-35cm without holding my head up. My fur and scales are now harder and my muscle mass is also bigger with the change in size.

A man that wakes up in the body of a freshly born monster in a laboratory and a ability to grow stronger trough eating his prey

"Hello, Sis. I'm Yan, the No.1 badass and beautiful genius girl who has a big fortune, great figure, excellent abilities, marksmanship, and melee combat skills!"
Seeing the extremely arrogant self-introduction, Huo Mian smiled, feeling light-hearted.
"You must be smiling when you hear this, right? Laughing is good for pregnant women. I heard if you eat more chocolates, the baby will love laughing when it comes out." 
Huo Mian didn't speak; it was a recording, so she just listened quietly.
"I planned to say goodbye to you, but considering we'll both cry at parting, I decided not to do it. It's why I didn't say goodbye to you. I told the restaurant to prepare good food for the pregnant woman in our family. Tell them whatever you want to eat, and they'll do their best to make it for you… I'm now heading to Brazil to settle accounts with one of my enemies. Then I'll find time to go back to China and see you. I miss Pudding and Little Bean…
"Oh. By the way, Dad called and actually wasn't surprised when he heard you're fine. It seems he knew you'd be fine. Don't you think it's miraculous? Dad is old now and even told me that he'd retire after the last project and then go to your home to take care of Pudding and Little Bean. Haha! Isn't it a happy prospect?
"But you'd better not be fooled by his promise. He told me five years ago that he'd retire and go to Tibet with me to see the moon and become a shepherd in Inner Mongolia. But in the end, he is still crazily doing research in the lab… I even suspect we're not his biological daughters but gifts to him after he bought some prepaid phone cards; no… if I was a gift for buying prepaid phone cards, you'd be a gift for buying an electric rice cooker, which is even worse …"
Hearing her joke, Huo Mian giggled.
"Okay. I must stop babbling… Anyway, sis, you must take good care of yourself and the baby. I'll miss you."
Then the recording ended…
It was a funny clip, but Huo Mian still shed tears.
"What's wrong, Honey?" Qin Chu immediately handed her a tissue.
"I just feel that Yan lives a hard life running around all over the world," Huo Mian said with a choking voice.
"After Ian dies, we'll have peace. Not only we but Lu Yan and the professor will feel much freer."
"I know." Huo Mian nodded.
"Eat the congee now; it's getting cold."
"Okay."
Wiping off her tears, she lowered head and ate the lobster dumplings and seafood congee with gusto.
She felt happy after watching Lu Yan's recording and enjoying breakfast with her husband on such a beautiful morning.
What else could she ask for?
- On the private plane -
"Boss, it's time to eat. What do you want to eat? We'll get it for you. Now we have steak, caviar, foie gras, noodles with gravy, vegetable salad, and sushi."
"I don't want to eat. You guys go ahead with the meal."
"Um… When you're hungry, just call out to us."
Her subordinate walked out of the inner cabin and closed the door behind him.
Qiao Fei put down an English book he was reading and glanced at Lu Yan.
"You are not in a good mood today."
"Yeah."
"Are you missing sister Mian?"
"You know the answer."
"Okay. Forget it." Then, Qiao Fei lowered his head to continue reading.
"Hey, little bastard, you started the topic and then stopped." Lu Yan was not pleased.
"The problem is that I can't do anything for you when you miss her. I can't grab her and bring her to you anyway."
"Qiao Fei, you've left your family for a long time now. Do you miss home?" Lu Yan asked earnestly.

For all the guys hesitating to give it a try, you won't regret it. It's a manly book, I swear.

The college's Student Centre was not big, but it was light and airy courtesy of its high ceiling and large tempered-glass windows in every direction. Marvin Tse looked around and finally found the famous Great Hall and entered. It really was deserving of its fame. The ceiling was arched and three stories high, the tables and chairs numbered in the hundreds, and despite its simple decor everything was tastefully designed to fit a modern college of technology.

Marvin made his way around the tables and chairs in the Great Hall of the centre, while his eyes roamed around from left to right looking for a free table. None. No such thing as a free table amongst the hundreds of students in the hall. The chairs and tables were fully occupied by students who were reading, typing, discussing, while others were chatting and laughing away as they were working on assignments or reports. They made for a casual but studious atmosphere.

That was how Marvin finally realised he had forgotten how dedicated HK students were in school or college. To be fair he had only came back home from Europe half a year ago. After spending years of his life studying and living abroad in Europe, and then touring the European Continent and occasionally other parts of the world for more than a decade, was it any wonder that he struggled to familiarise himself with this bustling modern island again? After all, he was only 16 when he left, and he was already 36 today. He was practically a stranger to this island now.

This afternoon he was planning to have a quiet chat with a certain student, thinking that the atmosphere of the Great Hall would alleviate the awkwardness because they both did not know each other. But without a private space to talk comfortably such a thing would not happen. 
This was not the first time he forgot such small details in his plans either. Feeling a little put out at his own carelessness, he turned back towards the entrance, but stopped when he spotted something familiar next to it.

A grand piano. It stood quietly on small raised platform near the double door, looking all lonely in the fully-occupied room. Marvin felt a touch of pity that such a majestic instrument was neglected so. For now it was just another piece of ignored sculpture in the cavernous room. He sympathised. It felt like how he himself had been estranged by this fast-changing island of concrete jungle.

Taking his time to look the piano over, Marvin climbed up the small platform and sat on the piano's bench. It was a little dusty, but at least he had a place to sit now. He opened the keyboard's cover and found that the keys were dusty too. The keys were probably also out of tune. But… maybe he should play a bit, as a way to greet the piano and ease its loneliness.

His fingers moved of their own accord immediately after he decided. They effortlessly glided over the keys, and Mendelssohn's Songs Without Words, Op. 19 No. 1, slowly and quietly reverberated in the air. Because the piano's lid was closed, the sound it produced was further quieted. It would not do for him to disturb the students, after all. The 'song' was sweet and romantic, and for this meeting he made it sound hopeful and joyful too. Despite the 'song' only lasting a little more than 3 minutes, Marvin felt fulfilled when it ended.

Next, following the order, he was thinking of playing Op. 19 No. 2 and then No. 3. But then he noticed some students who were recording his performance on the out-of-tune piano. Disgruntled, he did not continue; instead, he looked around the common hall one more time. Finally he saw the students he was waiting for coming into the Great Hall from the other entrance at the far end. Marvin quickly stood up and headed off to meet them.

Two of the students making their way over were in his Beginner German Language class. The one trailing behind them both was supposedly Michelle Wu. Marvin looked at her closely as the group of three manoeuvred around the packed tables and chairs. Yes, that's her alright. The girl in the short clip he saw on a student's phone.

Michelle Wu was a beauty with delicate facial features, like a classic Chinese beauty. But the fact that she was dressed stylishly in a short modern dress and dainty high-heels added another facet of appeal to her. The way she walked also exuded confidence and attracted the attention of many in the room. Heads turned and mouths whispered when she walked past. Some even held up their phones to snap pictures. Michelle only smiled shyly at no one in particular as she continued forward with her back straight. She had excellent posture as she walked. It was as if she was gliding. Amazing girl, Marvin thought to himself.

"Professor Marvin Tse! Good afternoon. We're here. We brought Michelle Wu like we promised." One of them greeted him.

"Thank you, Cherrie, and Daniel. But I told you before I'm not a professor. Just an old contracted tutor. Call me Mr. Tse." Marvin felt like rolling his eyes at every student's insistence in calling him 'professor'. He did not even have a degree in German Language, for crying out loud. How could he feel alright when they referred to him as a language professor?

"Yes, Mr. Tse." They obediently answered, and then giggled. Marvin decided he did not want to know what's so funny about it.

"Hello, Miss Wu. I'm Marvin Tse, a tutor for Beginner German Language."

"Good afternoon, prof- Mr. Tse. Cherrie said you need to see me? What could I do for you?" Michelle Wu bowed her head politely at him and greeted warmly. She also nearly called him 'professor', probably because she had been instructed by these two who lead her here. Good thing she knew to correct herself quickly. His impression of her deepened.

Marvin dismissed Cherrie and Daniel first before answering her. They looked disappointed when Marvin told them to go on their way, but cheered up when he told them he would give them something nice in the next class. Perhaps a few pieces of his homemade apple pie? He could do that.

"Yes, I need to see you, Miss Wu. But first, I apologise for bothering you. Were you busy?" 

"Not really, Mr. Tse. I was only reading and relaxing in my dorm room when Cherrie came by and told me to come meet you."

"I'll take your word for that." She could really be lying about not being busy, but deeply ingrained politeness would not allow her to say the truth. Especially not to a 'professor's' face. It was a culture thing so there was nothing Marvin could do about that. "I need to talk to you privately, but I've chosen the wrong place for us to meet. Could we go somewhere else to talk?"

After a little deliberation, they ended up at the café across the street from the Student Centre. It was not popular with the student population because of its steep pricing, so there were tables available. They sat at a table in a corner and ordered coffee and juice respectively. 

"Let me introduce myself again." Marvin began again. "I am Marvin Tse, a language tutor for this college. I've only started last term though. Also, I am Nikolas Tse's uncle." Marvin smiled gently as he said this. "I need an explanation about a clip of you and Nikolas that someone posted online. It seemed to have gone viral and a lot of students were making a fuss about it. I had already asked Nikolas, but he only said "nothing like that" and refused to comment further. I really need to find out the truth. If you could be so kind and explain to me what actually happened?"

I am not a prince charming. I do what I do and I like what I like. I kept to myself and never bothered others. But others kept bothering me. Could you just please leave me alone?
Nikolas Tse was an average college student. Or he thought he was. But with good looks and tall stature, not to mention his intense eyes, he became a reluctant star in college. He wished people would leave him alone. 
But they kept bothering him. Especially Michelle Wu. This beautiful girl is trouble he did not need, so Nikolas would do his utmost to avoid her. But then they were in the same class, so he could not be careless...

Early next morning.
Ning Xi wore a light pink dress with a pair of white low-heeled sandals. She wore light makeup, and her natural curls had been straightened so that her hair fell in a wave over her shoulders. As usual, the pink heart-shaped hair clip had been pinned into her hair at her temples. In short, she looked very much like a good wife and loving mother.
Lu Tingxiao was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, and he was stunned for a moment when he saw her. "This appearance…"
If it wasn’t a special occasion, Ning Xi tended towards a simple and light style most of the time. This was the first time that he had seen her dressed like… like a true lady.
Ning Xi bounced excitedly in front of him. "So, so? Do I look like I’m married and am a wife?"
Lu Tingxiao looked at her, and there was a meaningful and profound light in his eyes: "Very much so."
Married and a wife.
There were no more beautiful words than these.
"Hey, hey, that’s good! This way, I won’t be ripped off when I shop at the market!" Ning Xi nodded in satisfaction. "Then I’m leaving!"
Just as she was about to take a step, she couldn’t move her legs.
It was Little Bun hugging her leg again.
Ning Xi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as she looked at her "leg accessory". "Darling! Why are you up so early?"
Little Treasure rubbed his sleepy eyes and stretched out his arms, indicating that he wanted a hug.
Of course Ning Xi had to pick him up. "I’m just going grocery shopping, I'll be back very soon!"
Little Bun still clung to her neck.
"Can we go with you?" At this time, Lu Tingxiao spoke from the side.
Ning Xi blinked. "Ehh, the both of you want to go as well?"
"It’s just nice, we can take Little Treasure out for a walk," Lu Tingxiao said.
Little Bun also nodded his head vigorously.
Ning Xi scratched her head. "Of course you can go! But a place like the market may be a little chaotic! I'm not going to the supermarket, but a big market a little further away. The ingredients there are the freshest!"
"That’s not a problem. Let’s go." Lu Tingxiao put down the newspaper and picked up a car key.
And so Ning Xi’s solo trip became a three-man expedition with Little Bun and Big Bun.
Underground garage.
Looking at the row of shiny cars, Ning Xi swallowed her drool, especially when she saw her male god "Little White".
Noticing Ning Xi staring at the white Bugatti sports-car, Lu Tingxiao asked her, "Shall we take this one?"
Ning Xi came back to herself, and shook her head hurriedly. "Of course not! We’re just going to the market, how can we drive a sports-car there? Do you have a more low-key car?"
She glanced around the garage. There really wasn’t any…
There was no way he could have any…
But Lu Tingxiao nodded. "Yes, I do."
After that, he pressed some switch, and then a black car was delivered out from another partitioned area of the garage.
It was a family car, priced at about five hundred thousand yuan, and it looked new.
Ning Xi nodded repeatedly. "This one’s great!"
But why would Lu Tingxiao have a car that was so out of place here?
Lu Tingxiao seemed to know what she was thinking, and explained, "This was prepared for you when you first came, but you never drove it."
"Ah…" It turned out to be the car that Lu Tingxiao had prepared for her in the beginning.
Seeing the slightly lonely expression on Lu Tingxiao’s face, Ning Xi felt as if she had made a huge mistake, so she hurried to explain, "That’s because I usually take the subway since it’s more convenient, and there's no traffic jam!"
With these words, she quickly changed the subject. "Let's hurry, if we’re just a little late, the good stuff will have been snapped up by other people, and that will affect my performance!"


After five years, Ning Xi returned to the place that had pushed her away — home. With a sister who turned her parents against her and made her childhood sweetheart betray her, the odds seemed grey.
However, five years abroad had changed her, and she came home to fulfil her childhood dream of becoming an actress. Despite her evil sister still out to get her, tables will be turned. 
One day, after falling into one of her sister's schemes, she saves an adorable kid and found herself staying at his house to help him come out of his shell. Slowly, his father Lu Tingxiao began falling for her. This was before they realised how their lives had been intertwined all this while without their knowledge.
