Beau-view, France
the year 2018, spring

In the second-floor computer lab of the Beau-view University's Library, you could hear the constant clicking of keyboards as people went in and out of the computer lab. In the 3rd row 4th seat of the computer lab, there was a young man who was constantly mumbling to himself about something while moving his mouse back and forth constantly.

"HM... where is it?"

"This is the 5th site I've visited"

"Come on where is it?"

"  SHIT!!! Not here either"

Alan is a 3rd-year student at Beau-view University as well as a collector of weird and exotic objects, such as ancient weapons like Stone Swords, Knives, Sabre, Axes Etc, And ancient jewelry as well as other things.

 He is currently searching for a mysterious stone known as the Valeria stone which according to legends fell from the sky, hearing about a rock that fell from the sky most individuals might think it's just a hunk of space rock.

 ( Author's Note: The French word/name Valeria  means 'strength, health.')

 But there's more to the story then they might think because according to legend the person who first discovered the Valeria stone a man known as James Baxter who lived several hundred years ago  not only became the strongest man in his whole Era he was also said to have lived the rest of his life without fall to any sort of ailment or sickness and living to be 143 years old . Just this is enough to drive all the rich people in the world to spend half if not all their fortune to the point of madness to obtain the stone was the legend found to be true. 

But there is another hidden ability of the Valeria Stone only known to  James Baxter who discovered it and that is the Valeria Stone has the power to open a doorway between worlds whether the worlds are real or imaginary and allowing it's possessor one free chance at life.

 Alan who heard about it was instantly intrigued by it and went in search of it even though he half believed the legend behind the stone well the part revealed to the public.  Whether it be famous Antique shops in Beau-view city or famous antique shops in other cities across the country Alan searched everywhere possible he even went overseas to the United States and took part in auctions with his father. he even visited  Oi Ling antique shop in Central Hong Kong And even tried the black market where he thought he might have better luck finding it, But the stone was nowhere to be found. 

 For the past two years, Alan spent almost all his free time plus Vacation time from school searching for The mysterious Valeria stone.

"Well It's almost closing time," Said 
Alan while looking at the clock on the computer.

He packed up and walked downstairs toward the door as he steps outside the cool evening air hit his face which had a frustrated look on it. Alan walked towards his dormitory greeting his roommate Thomas after entering, then went straight into his room taking out his phone then quickly dialing a number and then waiting.

Soon a voice was heard.
" who is this?"

"stop joking Franklin," said
 Alan sightly annoyed. 

" OH... if it isn't Alan now I know you didn't call me just to have an evening chat," Said 
Franklin while slightly chuckling.

"Franklin!!!" yelled
Alan.

"okay okay I was just kidding sheesh" scoffed 
Franklin.

" Franklin you said the object I was looking for was being sold on one of those websites, But I have look at each of those sites of the pasts week and not even the shadow of the stone was found"
said, Alan.

" are you sure" asked 
Franklin doubtingly.

"yes very sure," Said
Alan reassuringly. 

" well my contact said that he heard some rumors flying around that the object might be there," Said Franklin shyly.

" might!! now your saying might!!" Yelled 
Alan.

" well yes sorry," said 
Franklin nervously.

" well do you have any other leads" Asked
Alan as he sign.

"well... there is one"
Said Franklin hesitantly.

"Really!!.. tell me right now" 
Alan asked hurriedly. 

 Franklin told Alan about a small antique shop in Frankfurt, Germany.
 Alan ended the call then want to the bathroom to wash up. He then went to the school cafeteria for dinner After dinner Alan returned to his Dorm and booked a train ticket to Frankfurt, Germany for tomorrow. Alan then went to his bed and checked his Snapchat for anything new after 15 minutes he went to change into something comfortable then he went back to his bed and fell asleep.

( Author's Note: Snapchat is a multimedia messaging app used globally)

The next morning Alan got out of bed and got changed quick than went to the cafeteria for breakfast then straight to his morning classes with an eager look on his face.

After morning classes Alan went back to his dorm to pack then took a bus to the train station. After 10 minutes Alan showed his ticket and boarded the train.
------------

Frankfurt, Germany

" Yes Finally made it," said 
Alan excitedly.

Alan than checked his phone for the time
it was a quarter after two.
" I should be able to get back by tonight at best"
Thought Alan.

Alan went to the nearest bus station a rode a bus to  
 the small antique shop that Franklin mentioned.

After getting off the bus Alan walk for about two block
when a  small shop That gave one the feeling of antiquity came into view 
with a worn out sign that read (Zentral Antiquitätenhandlung) 
after staring at the sign for a while Alan went inside the shop  surprisingly
  the inside of the shop was a lot bigger than the outside made it look like, Also the front desk was empty thinking that the owner was gone Alan went to browse the shop merchandise while he waited for the owner to
return. 
(Author's Note: Zentral Antiquitätenhandlung means Central Antique shop in German.)
10 minutes later
"BOOM!!! BOOM!!" Suddenly the sound of falling objects was heard from the back of the shop. Alan went back there to see what was going on.

"Cough... Cough"

when Alan made it to the back he saw an Elderly man on the floor he walked over and
helped him up.
" Are you alright Sir" Asked
Alan with a concerned look on his face.

"yes. I'm fine thank you very much young man" said the Elderly man 
while smiling.
" Oh that's great you had me worried there for a moment,"  said Alan
while also smiling.

Alan look around at the mess in the shop
and said" If you don't mind how about I help you clean up"

The Elderly man looked at Alan for a bit and then agreed to his 
offer than mess was swiftly cleaned after which Alan followed the Elderly 
man to the front of the shop.

"so young man what brings you to my small shop" Asked 
the elderly man
 
Alan looked at the Elderly man and was slightly surprised after seeing the men face. The elderly man's face was filled with wrinkles but his eyes were like deep dark pools looking at them you couldn't help but slowly sink deeper into them.

"HM... oh I am looking for a certain object," said Alan 
while taking out a drawing of the Valeria Stone and giving it 
to the Elderly shop owner.

A strange light which was to fast for anyone to notice 
 flashed in the Elderly man eyes when he looked at the drawing the drawing depicted an emerald green rock the size of a baby's fist with multiple runes carved onto its surface."Oh I am sorry but I don't have this object in my shop." the Shop owner firmly said.

Alan frowned for a bit then asked:" Can I at least look for myself."
This is the object he spent the past two years looking for he wasn't going
to just give it up.

"HM.. okay how about this if you can find it you can have it for free just think of
it as my way of thanking you for helping me clean up." Said the Elderly man after some
thought.

"Really. Thank you very much, sir," said Alan trying to hide
his excitement.

The elderly man just smiled.

Not wanting to waste any more time Alan 
went to search the shop starting with The bottom shelves
Alan worked him why up repeating that over and over looking in
every nook and cranny.

Watching Alan searching his shop the Elderly man smiled faintly.
And said in a quiet voice "  Just searching won't be enough."

The Elderly man then frowned for a moment 
and then Mumbled to himself." Will you be the Luck, one young man."

Just like that 2 hours past while Alan was searching for the Valeria Stone and
so far he could even find a trace of it.

Alan looked toward the back of the shop
 and said in a depressed tone." damn there are only 2 corner shelves and 1 bookcase."

Alan walking toward the bookcase to picked up a book tripped on his own foot 
and body slammed the bookcase falling face first on the floor in front of the bookcase 
causing all the books to fall and drop on him.

"....OUCH.." Said, Alan, while rubbing his face and head.

"Damn that hurt like shi...." Alan didn't even finish his sentence 
as he stood up and walked toward a book laying on the floor,
the book had a plain looking emerald green cover with no picture and look old like its been around 
for ages.
"Hmm..." Alan scrutinized the book closely.
He tried to Flip to the first page but the book wouldn't flip.
 He put both his hands on both sides of the book the pull it apart, 
But the book wouldn't budge. Frustrated Alan Threw the book to the floor hard.

"CLICK.." the Book opened in the Middle.

Alan who heard the clicking sound look over to where
he threw the book. Looking at where he threw the book
Alan's face was filled with shock and astonishment But was soon
replaced with a look joy. Right there in the book was an emerald green Stone the size of a baby's fist with multiple runes carved onto its surface.

Alan walked over to the book and picked up the Stone with clear
joy shown on his face he said." Yes, Yes, I finally found it after all this time searching". Then remembering the mess he made Alan put all the books back into the bookcase and then walked toward the front
desk to show the Elderly man the Stone.

" Hey sir Hahahaha I found it I really found it," said Alan while Chuckling.

The Elderly man stood there shocked that he smiled and said." 
Well since you found it it's yours."

"But young man." The Elderly Man said solemnly.

"yes," said Alan pulled in by the solemn look on the man's face.

The Elderly man looked at Alan seriously and Said in a clear voice." 
You need to remember one thing and That is everything comes with
a price even that stone."

Alan looked at Elderly man quietly then nodded and said politely." 
I'll try my best to remember that sir"

Alan bid farewell to the Elderly Shop owner and left the shop hold the Valeria stone
in a death grip. Alan ran toward the closest Bus station not even stopping to look at the 
incoming traffic completely absorbed in his own ecstasy when out of nowhere a bus appeared
in his side view time seem to slow down and then speed up as the bus collided with Alan's body
sending him flying to the other side of the street while at the same time crushing his chest cavity.
The bus made a huge stop and the bus driver came out.
" OH GOD WHAT HAPPENED!!!" a scream was heard.

Soon after a crowd was formed and an ambulance was called but it was too late.

Alan in his last moments laughed and said:" hahaha after all this searching I'm i going 
to die right when I found this stupid rock Haahaahahaa I don't even know if the legend 
was real or if this thing even works." As Alan plunged into despair the light in his eyes started to dim
, But before he died a small green light that could not be seen by the naked eye glowed from the Valeria 
Stone and the went dim. Like that Alan left this world.

In the Crowd, an Elderly man could be seen Shaking his head whether for the loss of a life or for the death of a youth in his prime nothing could be said for certain. The Elderly man Mumbled something
and then disappeared into the crowd. His words could barely be heard.

".... Everything Comes with a price...."

DROPPED!


Due to a freak accident, a college student from modern-day Earth is killed. However, He soon finds himself in the world of one piece 100 years before the start of the storyline. 

Follow Alan as he joins the marines to combat Pirates and become The Strongest Marine in this old Era of Pirates.

The answer from Old Time Tea was rather puzzling to the other elfins. Everyone could see that Zhang Zian was sound asleep. It did not need to state the obvious to them.
"According to my analysis, he does not have any physical problems. He is merely asleep, although...this kind of sleep is very abnormal. Sihwa's voice is so loud that he should have been awoken by it a long time ago."
Old Time Tea explained while using his claws to open his eyelids again. "You see, his eye is moving quickly. Humans have given this kind of sleep a name. It is called 'rapid eye movement sleep,' which means he is dreaming some sort of lifelike dream... The problem is that it is a rather shallow type of sleep. He should have already woken up."
"So why didn't he wake up?" Fina suppressed her anger. "Is this possible that he's deliberately pretending to be asleep when, in fact, he is already awake?"
"This... I believe that this is unlikely because the human eye is very sensitive. I just used my claws to pull up his eyelids. He should...have an instinctive dodge response," Old Time Tea said. "However, he seems to be able to restrain this instinct, and to do that, you have to practice for a long time. However, I don't think he would have spent so much time practicing just for a joke..."
This analysis was reasonable, and Fina couldn't find anything wrong with it. This was because Zhang Zian had always adhered to the principle of maximizing the benefits per unit of time, and so he would not waste so much preparation time to crack a joke that would only work once...
"Then why didn't he wake up?" Fina's anger disappeared. She turned to the bathroom and said, "Shut up! So noisy!"
Sihwa was shocked and shut her mouth.
"I don't know." Old Time Tea shook his head and looked around. "Who was the first to wake up?"
"I woke up once, but I didn't know what time it was. I heard the sound of the quilt on the bed, but it was still early. I thought he was getting up to go to the bathroom and didn't care. Then I fell asleep again," Vladimir said, raising his paw.
"Apart from Vladimir?" Old Time Tea asked with a nod.
Famous took a step forward. "When I woke up, I saw Galaxy sitting on the edge of the bed. You all shouldn't have been up yet."
Everyone's eyes focused on Galaxy.
"Meow!" Galaxy shook his head in a rare way, and his eyes held a look of confusion and helplessness. "Galaxy felt great sadness and woke up. Zhang Zian... He himself chose to be asleep."
What?
Old Time Tea's words had been puzzling enough, and Galaxy's were even worse.
"He chose to sleep? Why does he want to sleep? Who gave him the right to sleep? Did I not treat him well, so much so that he decided to go on a strike?" Fina was furious. Originally, she'd still been a little worried, but now that she'd heard that he had chosen to sleep... What did this mean?
"Hey! You idiot, get up and shove sh*t away!" Richard jumped onto Zhang Zian's back and stepped all over his back, neck, and head.
The other elfins laughed a little and relaxed a lot after hearing this.
"Maybe he is really tired. Then we should let him sleep for a while. Take a rest now and work harder later!" Vladimir said.
Old Time Tea still had a puzzled look on its face. Whether or not he chose to sleep, his being asleep despite all this noise was absolutely not normal.
"Then... When will he wake up?"
Old Time Tea generally did not ask Galaxy about issues about the future, but today the situation was special. It must be asked clearly so that it could decide what to do later.
"Meow... Galaxy does not know. He may wake up, or he may not wake up... It all depends on whether he wants to wake up." Galaxy sadly lowered his head.
Anyone present would know that Galaxy's power was unfathomable. If anyone wanted to harm Zhang Zian, or if something around him may lead to his injury or death, Galaxy would definitely be able to predict it and stop it from happening in advance. If he could not do that, he would guide other elfins to stop it.
However, if Zhang Zian chose to sleep, who could stop it?
"Is there another way?" asked Old Time Tea.
"Meow... Galaxy does not know." Galaxy shook his head.
Galaxy could see the future, but if it was something that had already happened, it could not be traced back.
"Scratch!"
Pi patted its chest and volunteered its service.
It put on some glasses and began to flip through the Untitled Book.
Everyone knew that Pi's Untitled Book recorded everything that had happened in the past. It, of course, recorded everything in the present and the future, but the latter was too difficult to query because there were countless possibilities for the future.
Everyone stared at it moving furiously and was eager to get an answer from it.
Pi flipped to one of the pages. To everyone else, it appeared to be a blank page, but after it stared at the book for a long time, confusion and surprise surfaced on Pi's face.
"What is it?" asked Old Time Tea.
Flip flip! Flip flip!
Pi's fingers seemed like they were dancing. However, besides some sign language that only Zhang Zian could understand, to the other elfins looking at it, it was tantamount to gibberish.
Pi noticed the puzzled looks on everyone's faces and suddenly remembered that Zhang Zian was not there to help it translate, so it typed on its computer. The book said that because other elfins were involved, the relevant information could not be queried.
Other elfins?
Everyone started getting suspicious and exchanged looks with each other.
Zhang Zian had been sleeping soundly throughout. If this had been caused by other elfins, did that mean... a strange elfin had invaded this room without their knowing it?
From the very beginning, everyone had ruled out this possibility. As for why... One simply had to look at all the elfins in the room. They were like a solid wall of iron and maybe even more secure than the safest vault in the world. To quietly enter into this room and do bad things... Such a feat would be even harder than going to heaven!
Although everyone had sufficient confidence in their ability to secure the room, in order to play it safe, everyone leaped into action without asking. They checked every window on the second floor, checked the doors and windows on the first floor, looked for strange smells and footprints, and even inspected the drains of the bathroom and kitchen.
However, there was nothing. There was no sign of a break-in.
Pi's Untitled Book would not be wrong. Certainly, an elfin had quietly invaded the room when everyone was unaware of it. That had put Zhang Zian into a sound sleep. However, why had it done so?
What they did know is that it had not invaded the house via the standard method. It was theoretically impossible. Even a stealth elfin could not fully hide its scent, sound, and footprints.
Elfins that could cross the physical barrier of space... There was only one that everyone knew. That was Galaxy. However, even if it were Galaxy, he would still leave behind his scent and footprints.
The unknown elfin...was like a ghost.
Sihwa had guessed that something happened, but everyone was too lazy to explain it to her. She was anxious and going crazy without knowing what was going on.
Throughout the discussion, Famous remained silent. When everyone's discussion came to an end and there was no conclusion, it suddenly said: "I have to sleep again."

One of the arcane realms of Vigilante A — the Morality City.
Fang Ning had not come for a while and found that it had really changed.
The city had expanded a lot. New buildings rose and new wheat, rice, and vegetable fields were opened outside the city.
Nevertheless, in the end, it did not follow the Land of Heritage's crazily, highly packed arrangement.
Fang Ning always felt that the people living in such densely packed buildings would change sooner or later.
After all, people were animals that need space. Those who could adapt well to the life of living in such buildings were probably only a few homebody types of creatures. It might even turn into the norm...
Fang Ning suddenly thought of the China Nets Above Snares Below and the spiritually-controlled mech, he had some vague speculation.
Perhaps for today's scenario, Ren Ruofeng and the others had already plotted it a long time ago!
At least it was long before he got the System.
With Yellow Dog leading the way, they arrived at the Scientific Academy of Vitality building and rode the elevator to the 36th floor, where the Heavenly Book System was located.
It was an open hall with rows of computer arrays arranged in a ring shape, forming a structure of a ring within a ring.
From the shape itself, it was completely different from the Red Queen.
At the center of the ring, a thick golden book was floating. It was definitely a piece of legendary golden equipment.
Yellow Dog ran in front and unlocked all kinds of access control throughout the way.
Before reaching the ring-shaped computer array, it started to explain, "Master, we've introduced the spiritual related technology of China into this Heavenly Book System. The data channel connecting the computer and the Heavenly Book is done through the spiritual local area network."
"Not bad, always pay attention to the advanced technology of others and do not blindly shut yourself off from the world, this is the right path," Fang Ning praised thoughtlessly, and then carefully observed.
At this moment, the golden book in the center of the ring suddenly floated out.
"Master, you're finally here..."
Fang Ning saw and became slightly stunned. He secretly told Sir System, "Hey, my baby gamebook is really intelligent, how did it know that you are not taking over now?"
"Hmph, it can smell your homebody stench from as far as three Li away. Of course, it recognizes you," Sir System said, full of disdain."Scram, you good-for-nothing without a speck of humanness!" Fang Ning said angrily.
Fang Ning made Sir System left in bitterness, and then gently said to the golden book, "Sorry, I was very busy recently. I just went on a long journey and when I came back, there are so many things to do..."
"Who will believe you?" Sir System quickly took its revenge.
"At least my baby will believe me."
"You'll just fool a few-year-old idiot."
"Are you not one of them?"
Fang Ning was distracted in riling Sir System while chatting with baby Heavenly Book.
"Master will have spare time in the future. I have a lot of functions now, and I had them made a lot of decision-making systems such as Resource Information Management System, Personnel Information Management System, Intelligence Management System, War System... All kinds of systems invented in human society had been added by me," baby Heavenly Book said proudly.
"Very good, green comes from blue and is better than blue," Fang Ning said a sentence that made Old Yellow feel puzzled. (TN: The phrase literally means that Green is extracted from the blue dye, but it is even bluer than blue. Now, it is used as an analogy to describe students surpassing their teachers.)
The Heavenly Book was very happy after hearing that and said, "Of course, I study hard just to help master."
"Very good, give me a demonstration of your existing features."
The golden book immediately began to flip open and demonstrated.
Not long after that, a three-dimensional picture appeared in front of Fang Ning.
An azure dragon was shrouded in the clouds and on its dragon body, there was a huge title.
"Dragon God's Personal Portable System."
Below were some menu items. For a born programmer who cheated in games, this was simply all too familiar.
Fang Ning reached out and pressed "Personnel Management". The menu icon was very beautiful and vivid. There was a person's head on it, and it was Old Man Zheng wearing gold-rimmed glasses...
Subsequently, the three-dimensional picture changed again.
One person appeared after another
The first person that appeared was Old Man Zheng, with his personal information and experiences, his current job assignments, his emotions, his movements, etc... It was very detailed, even how many times he frequented the toilet in a day was recorded.
"Sir System, can you do that?" Fang Ning smirked.
"I can't, I don't have such weird preferences," Sir System admitted its complete defeat.
Next was the Black and Yellow Dogs. The title was almost the same as Old Man Zheng, but the content was much less. For example, the Black Dog now did not need to use the toilet...
Recently, the orientation of Black Dog's emotions was 'when could I get married and walk into the wedding hall as a successful dog'.
The emotional orientation of Yellow Dog was 'I just got praised by master. I'm so happy.'
"The Black Dog's request is impossible to satisfy. It wants to get married. Its turn has to be after you," Sir System said decisively.
Fang Ning saw these and was very surprised. He said to Yellow Dog, "How did this Heavenly Book find out your emotional orientation in real-time?"
"This is because I contacted them and let them place their spiritual sense on different pages of the divine Heavenly Book. In this way, the divine book can observe the relevant content in real-time. In the future, every core staff of master will do this. This is not because of distrust but a kind of protection... Ordinary staff don't have the qualification to be on this list. They only have some simple items, and they have to rely on the management personnel to manually update and maintain," the Yellow Dog said proudly.
"Hey, this feature is much more powerful than your shabby Ally Module and Follower Module," Fang Ning took the opportunity to beat Sir System down.
"My function is a bit crude but it's sturdy and long-lasting, it won't go wrong. This broken book is detailed but it's all superficial," Sir System argued.
Fang Ning ignored the stubborn Sir System and looked at the menu items one by one. He found out that these menu functions were really powerful and practical.
For example, the "Resource Information Management System" covered the Venerable Dragon God's existing industrial chain, fixed assets, and current assets, all categorized and recorded well. It was well-organized and very comfortable to look at.
Fang Ning no longer had to worry about various reports every time. He could not even ignore them. It would really become someone who didn't know how much money he had.
Of course, he certainly could not become "I don't know how many wives I have". After all, he was carrying around a heroic System and not a Harem Aura. (TN: Harem Aura is a term normally used in web novels to describe the main male lead. When a guy is said to have a Harem Aura, almost every girl he meets will like him and willingly enter his harem.)
From this, he could not compare with some of the wealthy people and those of high status in reality.
"From today onwards, we don't have to hide anymore. We'll just be one of those who has a portable system," Fang Ning said proudly to Sir System.
"Oh, do you mean that I can come out publicly in the future?" Sir System said excitedly.
"In your dreams... Are you not afraid that people will always think about getting their hands on you?" Fang Ning's words had Sir System wallowing in sadness at one corner.
...
At this moment, outside Vigilante A's farm villa.
In the low woods, there were several people hiding. They were observing the manor in the distance.
"Sir, this is the place where Vigilante A lives on Earth. Every time after touring the world, he'll return here," a flattering voice said.
"Mm, I've smelled his disgusting presence," a humanoid creature completely covered in black cloth responded.
"There's no strong Defense Formation here. It'll be easy to break with Sirs' power."
"It's still a bit difficult to catch him alive. After all, this is his home field."
"Sir, you might not know. I heard that Vigilante A is recently on bad terms with the Heavenly Axiom. In the recent big changes, there was no benefit for him. This Earth is no longer his home field."
"Is that so? You can also find out something so confidential, not bad. After accomplishing the task, we'll give you whatever you want. After all, this is not a one-off deal. We're different from those devils, we still need agents."
"Thank you for the support, Sir. I'll complete the task given even if I had to risk this life of mine."
"That's enough, go back. Pay attention to the lurking eyes. Don't come out before we master this place. On the contrary, you must always show a firm humanity standpoint."
"Yes, thank you for caring."


Procrastinator extraordinaire, Fang Ning, had lost his consciousness after banging his head on a night of celebration. He woke up to a realization that he no longer had control of his body, as a System had taken it over. Will he eventually regain control of his body or will he be trapped in his body forever? How does he maneuver this situation? What's in store for Fang Ning?

"I’m here to investigate, not to take evidence!" Zhao Yu spoke bluntly, "Why would I need gloves? Don’t worry, your daughter’s not Sherlock Holmes. She won’t notice!" As he finished, he ignored the old woman’s protesting and grabbed one of the book off of the shelf. The book was about anesthesia. Zhao Yu flipped through a few pages, and saw that there were many notes in the margin.
Li Dan’s handwriting was elegant and clean, with little flaws. Just from a quick glance, you would be able to tell that she was someone who was very careful and methodical.
Zhao Yu flipped through a few other books, and they were all the similarly marked. He could not help but ask the woman standing in the doorway, "Does your daughter study medicine? How come she has so many books related to medicine?"
"None, none at all!" The elderly responded assuredly, "But many years ago, she worked at a veterinarian office, and it was a pretty famous one too. Dandan was their assistant! So she probably learned some stuff when she worked there."
"What?! Pet hospital?! Veterinary store?!" Zhao Yu exclaimed inside his head. He was shocked with every new discovery he made. The anesthesia that the culprit of the Lost Hand Case used was a medicine intended for animals, and the source of the medicine was from veterinarian offices.
"This can’t be a coincidence anymore, right? Could it be…this Li Dan…" Zhao Yu thought. He put down the book and scanned across the entire room. For some reason, he kept wondering there was something more important in the room.
"Old lady!" Zhao Yu thought for a while, then asked, "Does your house have internet?"
"Yeah!" She responded, "I don’t use it, but my daughter does!"
"What about computer, do you have one?"
"My daughter has a laptop that she brings with her everywhere. It’s not here."
"Then…" Zhao Yu pointed at the room, "She doesn’t have a writing desk in the room, how does she usually use her computer? While lying in bed?"
"Yeah, she works while lying in bed!" The old lady withheld nothing, "Not only to use the computer, but if my daughter is reading or writing, she usually does it while lying in bed. Oh right, under her mattress, she had a lot of papers. I often see her writing, and also there were also a bunch of photos!"
"Oh!" Zhao Yu nodded, but suddenly realized what she had said! "What?! What did you say? Under the mattress?" Zhao Yu was shocked and his eyes bulged as he asked, "What…what’s written on it?"
"I…I don’t know! I only saw it a few times by accident. My…my daughter doesn’t even know that I know. She usually kneels on the bed frame, and writes very seriously. I…I only saw through the door crack!" The old lady stumbled over her words in fear, and did not know what she should say.
"Ah?!" Zhao Yu spoke no more, and took large strides over towards the front of the bed, extending his hands to flip up the mattress and the bed covers.
"Officer!" The old lady was stunned, and rushed in to block Zhao Yu, "My daughter is germophobic. Please don’t move the bed! My daughter’s eyes are sharp, so no matter how you do it, she will be able to tell!"
　　
"Old lady!" Zhao Yu yelled in agitation, "Don’t you understand the situation we’re in? You’re still thinking about your daughter’s germophobic tendencies! I’ll let you know, the things your daughter’s been writing might affect her life, and you want to stop me?"
Seeing Zhao Yu so agitated, the elderly woman finally realized something serious was happening, and reluctantly let go of Zhao Yu’s shoulder, retreating back to the entrance of the room.
Zhao Yu grabbed the corner of the bed cover, and in one quick motion, flipped the entire bed cover high into the air. After lifting the cover, what he saw on the bed frame shocked Zhao Yu!
On the flat surface of the bed frame, there were indeed sheets of white papers taped together. The white papers had many words written on them. Among them, there were also many pictures, drawings, and even printed and copied documents!
What was in front of him was exactly like the analysis whiteboard back at the police station, but this was even more detailed and elaborate than his analysis board! The volume of information that Li Dan’s papers contained was much greater than anything the police had!
Holy sh*t! At that moment, Zhao Yu’s heart went crazy. He could feel his body boiling with adrenaline. Just from the photos on the white sheet, without looking closely at the writing, he could completely and surely say that the girl genius, Li Dan, was the culprit of the Lost Hand Case!
On the sheet was Gao Tian, Yuan Lili, and Luo Meina’s pictures. Beside their pictures was all their information noted down with a black marker. Clearly, Li Dan had done very detailed research on them.
Zhao Yu folded up the bed cover and put it aside, then carefully looked for where the white paper started. He saw that below Gao Tian’s photo was a printed version of black-and-white photo showing a ventilation duct.
Below the pictures was also detailed information describing the date, position, and muc more. All of the information perfectly matched the Gao Tian’s case file! One could tell that Gao Tian’s hand had definitely been chopped off by Li Dan!
"My God!" Zhao Yu flipped through the information, and realized he had connected all of the points of the Lost Hand Case! When he finally understood Li Dan’s modus operandi, he was stunned yet again.
Li Dan’s plans were detailed to the point of being insane. It was the a perfect crime! She had been planning her attacks months before they happened! Using Gao Tian as an example, Li Dan knew that Gao Tian would come to Qinshan to listen to the music concert, and even knew her seat number. She even knew that once the concert was over, Gao Tian would definitely use that underground tunnel, and that the tunnel had no surveillance cameras inside. Because Gao Tian’s seat was near the front, she would be at the end of the line as the audience members left.
Zhao Yu estimated that Li Dan had probably also bought a ticket to the show, and followed Gao Tian afterwards. Once the concert was over, and Gao Tian entered the tunnel, Li Dan knocked her out while no one was paying attention, then dragged her into the power distribution room in the tunnel. Li Dan used anesthesia, then she chopped Gao Tian’s hand off!
The most insane thing was that after the crime, Li Dan did not flee in a hurry, but went to the ventilation room on the other side of the tunnel. The ventilation room helped circulate airflow for the gymnasium, and led to many other places. Li Dan waited there until dawn, then crawled into the tunnel. Using a preplanned route, she escaped through the exit near the cleaning department.
She had left exactly as the sanitation workers were going to work. She had prepared a uniform ahead of time, and exited when there were many people leaving the gymnasium. No matter how good the police officers checking the surveillance were, they would never be able to notice her.
The most insane thing was that in order not to raise suspicion on the surveillance camera, she even brought a container of preservative fluid, and hid Gao Tian’s right hand in there. Only after two whole months did she go back and retrieve it.
Originally, Qu Ping guessed that the culprit had used alternate routes to escape, but because the ventilation room was locked, she did not investigate there. How could she have known that Li Dan had obtained the key to the room a few months in advance?
Regarding Gao Tian’s case, Zhao Yu already felt it was unbelievable. But when he saw the second victim, Yuan Lili’s case, he was even more shocked!


A little ruffian who fought recklessly without any morals and bottomline accidentally time-traveled to parallel space and became a Key Case Investigation Team agent. The huge change in identity had him creating chaos in the police station. However, a strange miracle system helped him repeatedly solve mysterious cases, turning him into an impudent ruffian detective!

On the verge of opening the book, Lin Ai hears footsteps then quickly let go of the book.

"Ai Lin, are you done putting everything away?"

Standing at the door is her mother. Concern expression appears on her face.

Spun around, Lin Ai said, "Yes, I am."

"Why don't you come down for lunch."

"Okay, I will go with you," said Lin Ai.

Both of them exit the room. Slowly the ladies walk the steep stairs. When the two of them reach the dining room when Everyone has already sat down. The table had a different meal on it. Lin Ai had no idea what some of the foods called.

"Ai Lin, are you not going to sit down?"

"Oh, I am." Lin Ai response while pulling the chair out.

I guess I will have to do everything myself from now on. Ugh! My life is going to be a pain. 

Lin Ai finally sat down in her chair. Everyone started to put food on their plates. Lin Ai did not move to get herself food even though her stomach made noise.

"Ai Lin, you need to eat some food. You barely have any meat on your bones." states Mother, placing fish and vegetables on her plate.

Reluctantly, Lin Ai pick up the chopstick and put a small bite of fish in her mouth. At first, she did not know how to feel about the food. Huh, I guess the taste is not too bad. The quality is a bit disappointing. I need to lower my high standards around people.

"Dear, did you speak with your friend?" spoke Mother while cutting her fish with chopsticks.

"Yes, I talk to him. He will give us a bit more time," replied Father, not looking into her eyes.

"What will we do? How can we get the money?" Mother asks.

"We will discuss this matter later." Father response quickly.

Lin AI could tell that he did not want to tell his wife everything. The room fills with the sound of chewing. After finishing eating, Lin Ai pushes her chair back from the table and stood up.

"Father and Mother, excuse me, thanks for making lunch. I am full," says Lin Ai bowing.

"Uh, you're welcome. What are you going to do in the afternoon?" Mother asks, somewhat curious.

"I feel kinda drain so that I will rest in my room," answer Lin Ai.

"Alright, you may go back to your room," said Mother.

Lin Ai dash up the upstairs, leaving her dirty plate and cup behind.

------------------------------------------------

Back to the dining table

"Ai Lin worries me. She always cleans up her dishes. Did you see the way she ate her food? It seems like Ai Lin is possessed. " spoke Mother with a concerned tone of voice.

"I'm sure she is fine. Today has been rather stressful for her, maybe." Father pointed out.

"You probably correct. I hope little Ai recovers soon." The mother states softly.

_____________________________

Quickly Lin Ai opens her bedroom room door then rushes inside. After slamming the door, Lin Ai lean back against it.

Ugh! Eating with strangers is so uncomfortable. I had no idea how to act in front of them. I do hope I didn't give the couple a lousy impression. I wonder if I ate too much like a princess. I should do some research on the girl named Wan Ai Lin. Lin Ai made her way to the desk. Once close enough, she pulls the chair out and sits down.

 Grabbing the notebook, Lin Ai begins to flip through pages.

Dear Diary, February 2

Today I encounter a handsome man. I think I am in love with him. I found out his name is Da Junjie. I did not want my parents to know. I gave him my number. I hope he contacts me soon...........

"Hey, what are you doing?" asks Cupid flying over her head, blocking the view of the journal.

"Stop getting in my way! I am trying to read." Lin Ai says with a hint vexation in her voice.

"Tsk! you are no fun at all," respond Cupid while moving away.

Lin Ai continue where she left off. Lin Ai skim through several paragraphs. Most of the texts just went over her daily routine.

This girl lives a boring life. She barely leaves her room except to go to school at a university. The worse part is that she is an otaku. There is no way I can act like an antisocial freak! After all, I am a queen bee.

Lin AI speedily went over several entries in the journal. Again, for the most part, the information was about how crappy her life is. Although a couple of the entries caught her eyes. 

Dear diary June 2

It has been months since I began to go out with Da Junjie. I find our relationship kind meh. He is a nice guy, but I don't feel passion toward him. The spark is no longer there. I want to break up, but I can't bear to shatter his heart......

Dear diary August 2

I am still unable to split up with Da Junjie. I fear that it is too late for me to tell him my true feelings. Today I bumped into a dashing young man at the library. He even assists me in picking up the stack of BL books. I kept my head low, somewhat afraid to let him see my scarlet face. I thank him and quickly walk away. Before I could get far, he grabs my arm. The young man whispers his name in my ear. I will keep his name secret only that his initial is J. Q.

Ugh! This girl did not leave enough information. She didn't bother to write the year. How am I suppose to know if these events happen last or this year? How am I going to be able to make myself like her? Is it even possible to do?

Lin AI closes the diary abruptly. A loud sigh came out of her mouth. After a bit of stretching, she opens up the laptop. Looking for the power button, Lin moves her right hand along the edges. However, there is no button. With her pointing finger, she runs around the mouse pad. Finally, the computer reacted, and it had a password lock on it.

"I have no idea what the passcode is!" exclaim Lin Ai smashing her hand on the desk.

"Sis is everything okay?" asks a familiar voice from behind.

Lin Ai turned her head rapidly and said, "Oh, it's you, mother, you startle me."

"I am sorry about that. I was passing your room when I heard a loud thud. It made me a bit of concern, so I came to check on you." Mom states squeezing her right shoulder.

"Um.... I am having trouble figuring how to unlock the computer," replies Lin Ai.

"I am surprised usually you know all about using technology, I think this laptop has a face recognition system," said Mom.

"Oh, I see. I will try it, thanks." Lin Ai responds, turning back to the computer.

"I'll leave you to it then," spoke Mom as she exits the room.

Lin Ai found the unlock button in the corner. It took the computer a minute to recognize her face. Once the screen loads up, she immediately clicks on the internet. To her astonishment, the first thing that pops up was a very inappropriate image. Lin Ai scramble to close the tab fearing that someone might see.

"OMG! Wan Ai Lin, what things were you interest in?" mumble Lin Ai.

Next, she clicks on the history tab. Oh wow, this is lewder than I thought. Lin AI had not noticed that time pass by, and the sun had gone down halfway in the sky.

"Ai Lin, dinner is ready. Please come down!" Mom yells while standing near the stairs.

"Alright, I will be down soon." Lin AI shouts back.

She closed the computer and stood up. Walking out the door, Lin Ai made her way to the table. Only mom sat at the table.

"Where is Father?" Lin AI asks.

"He is working on some business." answer mom motioning for her to sit.

"When will Father be back?" inquire Lin Ai putting food on her plate.

"I am not sure." replies, mom.

The two ate in silence. Lin Ai's eyes wander around, not wanting to meet her mother.

"Are you going to back to school tomorrow?" question Mother.

Lin Ai look up then somewhat startled by the question. She had not thought about school. Am I ready to face the reputation of the real Ai Lin? If it is so terrible, how can I cope?

"Umm... I guess I will." Lin Ai finally spoke.

"Good, you must keep your grades up."

After finishing eating, Lin Ai went back to her room. Hurrying washing her face Lin Ai change into the PJ. Plopping on the bed, she covers herself with blankets and sleeping

After a breakup, Lia Lin Ai got into an accident. Strangely, a cupid offers her second at life, putting her soul into the body of a girl with a similar name. Without the memories of said girl, can Lin Ai live her life? What happens when her old connections come into the picture?
 
Heart thumping Lin Ai could not believe her eyes. 
A figure stood close and pinning her against the wall.
Oh god! End my life now! Lin Ai thought to herself
A smile appears on the figure's face and it spoke the words.
"I have caught you. You are mine!"
How did everything go wrong? What will she do? Read to find out

I stared at the digital clock on the bedside table glowing with numbers 02.30, then at the ceiling of my room in turn. I felt the tiredness in my chest, in how I breathed and my thoughts dragged by in slow motion, slunk to a quiet spot and curled up. I found it hard to sleep, it's between anxious or concerning about things. I wait for Vivi patiently, hope that I could find the answer soon. She will be home by tomorrow noon and promise will come by soon after she departed. I changed my laying position, still can't believe I cheated from Jason after we engaged. That's the most disturbing past in my head. I thought it would be a beautiful mystery, but it turns out scaring me a lot. I scrunched my eyes tight and turned my body to scream in the pillow. Tears dropping, I can't believe I betrayed Jason. Karma exist, huh? I am eating my own shits right now. I rolled over and looking straight to the ceiling of my bedroom. 
"Jason" I lifted my hands up catching the shadowy streetlights from my uncovered window. "I am so sorry" I said as my tears flowing down my cheeks, I can't believe I did that to him. I changed my laying position again, now facing the window, that's when I heard my phone beeped. I stretched my arm to reach my phone, Andrea's text popping up.
"Are you doing good?"
I sniffed a smile, I don't know I was between happy or sad or hate. 
"I'm fine" I texted back
He quick replied "Don't lie"
"I know how it feels, Ani. Really.. but you just don't know the complete answer" he texted again.
"What complete answer?" I asked.
"It might hurt your head so badly if I did, cause I wasn't allow to bring that memories back that quick"
What does he mean? Amnesia didn't work that way.
"What the heck" I replied.
"Just trust me.. you need Vivi soon for that"
"I'm sorry" he added.
I clicked my tongue, didn't reply him anymore. I was either mad or in love with him. I don't know the reason for sure but I will find out soon. I hope Vivi will cooperate, so I don't need to struggle too much.
 
                                                          ***
 
TING TONG TING TONG TING TONG
"YES" I yelled, I took a glimpse of my glowing digital clock, it's 9.17. Vivi is finally here! 
I clicked the door open and say "Damn you gurl, I've been waiting for you like h…"
Andrea stood there smiling, I thought it was Vivi at first. My smile slowly fade away "What happen Andrea?" but my heart hurts so bad. It's between hurt and sad.
"Have you had your breakfast?" he asked. 
I adjust my cardigan, shaking my head. "No" I replied and looked away. 
His smile faded away slowly. 
"Just come in" I said and step aside. 
"No.." he sniffed a smile, masking his own depressions.
He tried to smile again, "I was just came by to drop you a breakfast"
That's when I feel my heart fluttered, is that so?
I lifted my head looking at him, my eyes locked on his face.
"Eat well" he lifted the plastic of something for me. 
I give him a smile, a stiff smile, accepting his breakfast. I don't know what does he buy me, all I can see is white plastic and a Styrofoam box inside. 
"Bye.. gotta go" he said and wave his hand, I saw his back went farther then he turned back just to remind me "Lock your door". I waved back at him, I don't even got the time to thank him. 
I turned my head and startled by a tall and thin figure, "WHOA!"
"VIVI! YOU SCARED ME TO HELL!!" I yelled.
Vivi fold her arms on her chest, giggling "dating too much, you don't even realize when I stepped in"
"but how could, you.."
She shrugged her shoulders,
"Now what"
I clicked the door locked and step inside, put the breakfast on the countertop and leaned my body on the sofa.
"I remember my past things.." I said as I looked away, feeling not so ready all of sudden. Vivi sniffed a smile, "I know it gonna happen" she mumbled, like whispering but not really a whisper cause I can hear it clearly. But she didn't look concern or disturbing at all. 
My eyes popped up wide, "What do you mean?"
"Since you two reunited" 
"What so important about that? Right now I want to ask you a lot of questions"
She stays steady "Then ask""Did I really cheating on Jason?"
Vivi threw her gaze away, "Look, Alana.. You are going to regret this"
"You two seems to be destined. But I don't recommend you to dig out your worst past you had" she said with a shrug.
"But I must know!"
"If you want to live in peace, this is the best for you"
I rolled my eyes, "There's no use for me to live this life without the truth"
"Truth hurts, Ana"
"But I don't care, Vivi"
She exhales a harsh breath, "Ana, the truth will never bring you peace. Believe me you won't like it at all"
I clicked my tongue and say, "If my past is only me having an affair with Andrea, I think that's not a big problem"
"Ana, you are god damn stubborn"
I rolled my eyes and moaned again, "Vivi, there's no peace if I live this life like this. It haunts me!"
"Okay" she stood straight, "Now, promise me"
I stared at her, demanding answers. 
"Promise me not to make the same mistake again" 
The same mistake? Why Vivi and Andrea keep talking about the same mistake I made?
"If you want to know the truth, go on. Find it yourself, cause we can't help you" 
And this is what I hate of, why don't they just tell me what happen, and done. Mission accomplished.
I rolled my eyes again, until I got my eyes tired. "Why you both keep saying that things? Isn't that easier for you guys to tell me directly? Then it wouldn't take too much time for me wandering around"
"Ana, oh my god. You are really stubborn!" 
"We have no choice, Ana!" she raised her voice. 
"Then what was actually happening to me? If I got amnesia then tell me the truth and I will remember"
She clicked her tongue and say "It wasn't that simple, Ana"
"You gotta trust me" she added, this time she looks kinda pissed off. 
"Okay..okay" I gave up. She won't tell me anything though, there's no use for me to force her. Should I call Jason?
"Don't call Jason" she added, damn she read my mind. 
"Don't ever call him. It is going to be a big disaster" she stated. 
"Why?" I insist. 
"If you call Jason, then you will hurt yourself. Jason is kinda sensitive about it" 
"Vivi" I said, now I sit on the sofa, I tap the sofa to let her seated. She followed my lead and sit beside me.
"Then tell me what happen, when Jason found me cheating"
Vivi blew a harsh breath, holding my hands, I can feel her warm palms. Now she looks worry, "Alana. That time when you cheated…." she closed her eyes, like such a horrible ghost story to tell. Vivi seemed concern all of sudden, I can feel it. 
"He was not angry. But he was so sad, I even blamed you that time" she replied, "And when I know you cheated, I was so disappointed" she admitted. "I didn't know how to react, I know you were wrong. But besides that, you are like sisters to me. So I tried so hard to persuade you, to leave Andrea instead"
"Then?"
"Then…you did. But things happen" 
"Things happen?" I repeated. I quirked an eyebrow looking at Vivi's frowning in depression all of sudden. 
"That was the worst moment in our life, Ana" she added. 
"Now, eat your fucking breakfast and take a rest. I am done talking and will head back to my office" she stood up, adjusting her skirt. 
"Wait" I hold her hand. 
"Are you leaving?"
"Yes.. don't be a clingy puppy" she looked at me in disgust.
"Bye" she added and rushed out, "Lock the door". 
I leaned my head on the sofa facing the ceiling of the room, my heart filled with love, a past love. But somehow it hurts me a lot when I know I cheated on Jason. It's awful. I close my eyes and suddenly I feel sleepy. 
 
It's an empty white room something, but I see no wall no ceiling no floors. Like nothing in this place. I turned my body, looking behind me and saw a woman with ponytail hair, a greasy ponytail, wearing old school dress walking towards me, it's so familiar. I walked towards her and we became closer and closer. "Mom?" 
I know it's mom, I run towards her but she became farther and farther, I clearly saw her walking towards me I have no idea why she became farther and farther. 
"MOM!!" I yelled again, "MOM COME BACK!!" I desperately run and fell to the ground, but then I saw the car crash under me, the cliff without tall fence. 
 
I woke up abruptly, gasping for breaths, then I walked to the kitchen and gulp a glass of water. Cold sweat rushing from my head, it soaked my back wet. "What was that?" I said between my breaths, still can't believe what I saw in my dreams. 
Crashing, crashing. 
Then I rushed to my room, turn the computer on quickly and type. 
CRASH ON THE CLIFF IN MEDAN
A woman (22) crashed her car from the cliff. The information is now confidential. 
Date : 20th June 2018
 
I feel cold and sweaty, my skin turns gray. I feel weak all of sudden but in rapid pulse, my breathing is irregular and I feel dizziness in my head. 
I engaged in January 2018, went to S.E.A. with Andrea in March, then I got car crash accident in June. That year is the worst. 
I remember I took all my diary and stuffs from Jason house, which I left it alone in the empty room. I rose from my chair and rushed to the empty room, rummaging the boxes with books and else. 
Year Book, Year Book, Year Book. 
My Photo Albums with my friends and my family.
My old drawings. 
My comic books. 
But there's nothing like diary.
Who is behind this? How can they keep the evidence so tight until I didn't realize I have a dark past like that? I remember so well I wrote diary before I got married. I stood up to check the full box with a lot of comic books inside, then I came up into a photo album. It is my engagement photo album with the title:
"Engagement Year 2018. Jason & Alana"
I sit cross –legged and put the album above them. I flip the cover and found the pictures of me and Jason hugging, kissing on the cheek and my heart hurts so bad. I was wearing a white mermaid dress designed by a famous designer from Jakarta. Jason was wearing a white suit that suited to my dress. I smile happily in the picture, saw my hair was still short and tied in braids. How can I cheat if I do look happy like that?
I flip the other pages and the other and the other again. Then I saw Andrea's picture talking with Vivi, Vivi looks delighted, like he has a really funny jokes to tell. Then the other picture is me, making peace sign to the camera. The other is me and Vivi, Andrea peeps his head between us. 
Then I flip and flip the other pages. 
My whole world spinning like tornado when I saw the picture of my mom hugging me tight, laughing happily….

It has been a few days now since Venture came into this world. The surrounding is a bit more on the line of futuristic buildings, together with fantasy-style as well. The buildings are mostly at the average of two stories high, with a few being higher and lower.  

Completely different from his own world. Sure, some of the people here wear clothes, that's modern. But, there is no internet, much to Venture's horror upon finding this out on the first day here and almost made a scene once he checked the local library to gain Intel in this world by doing the same thing Venture usually do when in the need to research for anything. By using the internet; however, that fail completely when there were no computers in the library.

Okay, there is just a high chance that the local library Venture visited didn't have the fund to buy a computer and he highly doubts that with the size of the library. Since the building is big enough to be a mansion for someone rich to stay at. But, this mansion size library is just to hold all these books, which Venture happily used to learn about this world after asking a few people to find the section of books he needed. But, there is still no computers at all and much to his paranoia. Venture asked about it, but no one has any idea what a computer is, even after Venture did his best to describe it. 

So yeah, no luck with computers, which means no internet. This is something horribly for those who always on the internet every single day. Nevertheless, this was fine for Venture after discovering something very important about this world. That made it much easier to deal with a world without the internet. And that is something on the line of living like in a video game, but at the same time not. 

"Status." Venture whisper. 

Name: Venture
Title: [Gambler of Fate] - You are fate's gambler and making the impossible possible.
Health: 100/100%
Physical Fatigue: 3/100%
Mental Fatigue: 35/100%
Unique Skill: [Everything Is A Gamble] - The user is able to use anything to gamble with fate. [Price]: The medium used will disappear afterward. 

Venture doesn't gamble that much, other than gambling in online games with gacha system in them, much to his endless regret on wasting so much money on it. Anyway, Venture did some research while making sure no one finds it weird of him reading about something that commonly known for everyone else in this world. 

The first thing is the name. Venture wonder if this fate or something, because in this world. Everyone is named after their [Skill] and [Title]. As his name means risky and gambling is always a risky thing to do.  Venture does wonder if he would obtain a different [Skill] and [Title] if his name was something else. Food for the thought. 

Further into detail about names is that everyone in this world below the age of 10 is nameless. At the age of 10 is when everyone awakens their [Skill] and [Title]. One [Skill] and one [Title]. No more, no less. 

Children before the age of 10 are addressed as a child and their parent's names. For example, going with Venture's name if he had a kid. They'll be called as Child of Venture. Weird, but this would help Venture by getting a hint of what the other people's [Skill] and [Title] are.  Also, it seems like people here don't have a last name at all.  

Venture has no idea if there is a way for others to check people's [Skill] and [Title], but he will come across that in the future. 

Now, going into the [Skill] and [Title]; both are very important in this world. Like really important for everyone's life. For one thing, there are two types of [Skill] that are [Normal Skill] and [Unique Skill]. [Normal Skills] are what most people would unlock and even some people can unlock the same [Normal Skill]. While the [Unique Skill] is something one in a million chance of awakening, where it is very powerful and only one person can have it. No one else can have it, period. 

Of course, having [Normal Skill] doesn't make one weak and/or useless. This is where the [Title] comes in. Because everyone will always have different [Title], where one has awakened the [Normal Skill: Fireball] and the [Title: Fire Manipulator]. This allows the user to freely manipulate their [Skill: Fireball]  in any way they like. 

Now, with [Unique Skill]. People who awaken these [Unique Skill] will always have a [Title] related to their [Unique Skill], but this could be considered a blessing or a curse. For example, someone awakens the [Unique Skill: Heavenly Cooking], allowing the user to cook anything that so good. It can't possibly exist in the mortal realm and must be something only could be found in Heaven. However, they could awaken the [Title: Maker of Poison], where everything the person cooked would turn into poison. But, of course, the food is still delicious. It's just that the consumers have the potential to die from food poisoning, no matter how good it is. They'll still end up being poisoned. 

So in a way, [Normal Skill] holders will have a higher chance of getting some decent to amazing [Title] that would turn their [Normal Skill] into something powerful. While [Unique Skill] holders will have a [Title] that's potential doom themselves and/or those around them in some way. But, at the same time, there is the chance of turning the [Unique Skill] into something godly. 

Finally, health, physical fatigue, and mental fatigue. These three are something has little information or that Venture hasn't found the books with more detail about them. He is leaning to the latter, since it's impossible to find all the right books in this mansion size library without ending up getting lost. Something, that's embarrassing for Venture since he did get lost in this library upon randomly looking for the computers at the time. 

These are in percentage, something that Venture finds a little weird because most video games have an exact number for these kinds of things or none at all. 

Anyway, the health stands for one's health, enough said. Venture will have to do more research to find more about the health stat. 

The physical fatigue from what Venture has read so far. It is the combined form of stamina and hunger. So if one is tried, the physical fatigue goes up in percentage, the same if one is hungry. Of course, this is technically good and bad. Good, because in theory, one can have endless stamina as long one continues to eat. Bad, because no matter if one doesn't do anything. As long as someone gets hungry, then their stamina will be drained too. 

The mental fatigue has less info compared to the previous two. All Venture knows is that doing mental tasks would cause mental fatigue's percentage to go up until it reaches 100%. Something that is very bad, where if anyone does hit 100%. Then, they will feel very dizzy and if they continue to do something mentally. High chance of someone entering into a coma. There have been noted examples of it happening to many people in the past. Same with physical fatigue, but just that one can't move at all at 100% and forcing to would lead to some crippling aftereffects. 

Other than learning about these; Venture did some experiment with his [Unique Skill], much to his excitement of being that someone of one in the million to getting a [Unique Skill]. Though, Venture wonders if he would have awakened a [Normal Skill] instead if he was born in this world. Instead of just randomly pop here with his own body, that has already been awakened the [Unique Skill] and [Title] already. Anyway, Venture was lucky enough to come to this world with his clothes as well, which means the money in his pockets. Especially the coins since Venture could just flip the coin to guess on heads or tails, to gamble. 

Sadly, Venture only had five coins in his pockets while having a few bills in his wallet. Both are technically useless in this world, because the money currency in this world goes by 1 bronze coin, 100 bronze coins equal to 1 silver coin, 100 silver coins equal to 1 gold coin, and any higher, than a gold coin. Venture has no idea.  Nevertheless, at least Venture knows that 15 bronze coins are enough to rent a small size bedroom for a night. 4 apples cost 1 bronze coin. Weirdly enough. So, in a way, renting a small size bedroom for a night is worth 60 apples. 

Then again, Venture could guess why food, even for something small as an apple would worth so much. Because in this world is more on the line of an apocalyptic world. Even now, there are people at the city walls are fighting off the monsters trying to invade the city and kill all the humans. As for what these monsters are. Venture will need to do more searching. 

Getting back on topic; Venture learns that his [Unique Skill] is like a plot armor that's been turned into a [Skill], but at the same time could be a major curse. For one thing, Venture tested it out by using one of the five coins he came with. As for what Venture gamble for with the coin is to find the local library within ten minutes if he gets heads from the coin flip. Luckily, the coin land on heads and the coin literally disappear by fading from existence. 

Ten minutes walking without a destination and Venture reached the local library. Another test is doing the same by finding a computer in 10 minutes if the coin land on heads. Sadly, it didn't and he can't find a computer at all. In fact, Venture would think that computers were erased from this world or something. He wouldn't think such a thing, but with the [Title: Gambler of Fate]. Able to make the impossible possible. So, Venture won't put it pass fate taking away the computer for losing the gamble. Even if for something so simple, but this is enough for Venture to learn a very important lesson from this experiment. 

It's fine winning and all that, but losing is not an option. In fact, Venture planning to gamble something small and be very specific with his words, or figure a way to make the gamble lean on his side more often. Because instead of not finding a computer in 10 minutes. Venture may have made it so the chance of creating a working computer won't be possible for the next 10 years from now. 

It's a good thing Venture has already come up with a way to make it so whenever he loses the gamble. It won't be too extreme and could affect reality itself. As this method helped him gather the money to rent the small size bedroom for a week and enough spare money to afford food to eat at least one a day if Venture uses the money he obtained carefully. 

What Venture did was use another coin, but this time, he made it so that if it lands on heads, he would find money lying around within the next 5 minutes, that's enough for him to live in a building with a roof over his head and at least once meal a day for one week to spend. However, if Venture's coin land on tails. He will have to spend a week outside without any chance of a place to stay inside at all, including rarely find any food to eat. Luck was on Venture side as the coin landed on heads at the time. 5 minutes later, Venture found a small bag with 2 silver coins and 7 bronze coins. 

Venture quickly discards the small bag, not caring if it some kind of special bag or anything. Better not take his chance on it belong to someone important and may end up coming after him upon finding out, that Venture was the one who picked it up. 

So, Venture just needs to place two conditions for what he'll win and what he'll lose in gambling, then he is golden. Of course, Venture tested if he could make the winning side better than the losing side. It did not work. As in, how Venture knows it didn't work; well, the coin didn't disappear as it supposes to. 

Now, with two coins left. Venture did two more tests while keeping the silver and bronze coins to spend instead of using them to gamble. 

In the first test, Venture tried to boost his own luck. By increasing his luck temporarily by double if he wins the gamble, but if Venture loses, then he would have his luck cut in half temporarily for an hour. It landed on tails, which means Venture should have his luck cut in half. Much to Venture's relief and disappointment. It did work as the coin faded away. So Venture had half of his luck for an hour and boy was that bad. But, on the other hand, this means he can actually increase his own luck, which is really broken. 

Venture had to wait an hour later before he starts the last test with the last coin he owns that's from Earth. And man was he happy when the hour was up, because Venture continues to have more than bad luck than usual. One of the bad things happened to him during that one hour is that Venture had food fall all over him by accident when someone was walking pass by. Just by tripping over something and out of everyone in the area. Venture was the one that got hit. 

Anyway, after an hour later and Venture took a shower, then wore a new brand of clothes he had purchased nearby, causing him to have to shorten the amount of food he could buy for the rest of the week. Bad luck there. So, with the last test, to do is to see if Venture could affect others instead of himself. 

Venture uses the last coin to affect a random person's luck. Heads they'll have a brief moment of being lucky in any way and tails for bad luck. Luckily for that random person, because it landed on heads and Venture was very surprised the person found someone they haven't met for years and finally reunited after so long. So, yes, the test to see if he can affect other's luck in any way or gamble with their fate worked. 

Currently, Venture is at the library again and just finished reading a book about what type of the most common jobs many would take in this city. To his surprise, there are many, but the top three are something Venture finds more interesting than the rest. 

The main top of the list, from what Venture has just read. It is to become a servant of someone from the government area, where many important and powerful people live in. As there are many benefits to becoming a servant of even the weakest and lowest person in the government area, to the point that many would envy that person who managed to obtain that servant position. 

The second of the most wanted job is the courier; people who head outside the city to gather resources outside to bring back to the city. This, of course, has a high death rating, so only those who are strong or desperate enough would take this job. High risk with high reward. As there is a 90% chance of death for those that are weak. 

The third most wanted job is the city patrol guard, where these are technical the people that served under the government. Kind of like the servant position, but at the same time not. Because the servant position allows themselves to live in the government area while the city patrol guard can't. 

Out of all three top jobs; the servant position has more benefits, the courier has quicker rewards, and the patrol guard has a higher status among the common people. 

To Venture's disappointment, he couldn't find a book to explain more in detail about this government area. Just that it is a place where people important and very powerful people live in. While the rest of everyone living in the public area. Which is where Venture is at. 

Just the size of this library is in the public area alone has already blown Venture's mind. So he can't imagine the size of the library available in the government area or at least have more valuable information compared to the one in the public area. 

Venture got up from his seat, stretching his muscle before placing the book back into the shelf where he got it from. Then start heading out of the library, which takes almost half an hour. That is how long it usually is to take between the entrance and to the nearest bookshelf of random subjects. 

The first thing Venture did after finish his research is to head out to find a job, not the three top jobs. Not yet anyway, since Venture doesn't have much information on them. 

On another note; Venture wonders why was he chosen to come into this world. With short black hair and eyes, with a bit on the skinny side for a man in his early 20s. With an appearance that could be found easily in the streets. Venture was raised in a normal average life, with enough food to go by every day and was still going into college. Raised by a good family that loves him, he made some decent friends, both in real life and online. Slacking off classes some time to play video games and so on. Overall, he would just be some random person that wouldn't be much noticeable, nor would he be someone to be remembered for years other than a selected few people. 

So honestly, Venture has no idea why he was chosen to come into this world when he doesn't have any special talents that would separate him from his peers. 

Letting out a tired sigh, Venture begins walking around the place that looks like a normal modern-day world, if one just ignores the way some people do something supernatural. Venture has already come across a few people working in a food stall, where at the minimum two people having the [Skills] related to cooking and some way to support the person with the [Cooking Skill]. At this point, Venture knew that to stay low-key. He had to make it look like every time someone uses their [Skills] nearby. Venture must make it like nothing is out of the ordinary upon seeing it happen. 

Today, Venture hopes to find a job that doesn't ask too many questions, where he may or may not know about it. In fact, Venture won't find a job that leans into the shady business of the world. Since he has read about it many novels, to the point that Venture may not be able to handle it and mentally break down. 

Venture know he no strong-will main character, nor was he someone who was trained in martial arts or anything combat-related. The best Venture could think of, that he knows about combat is how to punch and kick right, but that's it. So, no. Venture needs to find a job that is enough for him to live by and doesn't require him to end up fighting in any way. He is no fighter. 

Even cooking would be hard for him since the only thing he knows how to cook was to make instant cup noodles without burning it. So the idea of getting a cooking job is out of the option available for Venture. Plus, Venture got the feeling that he would require to have a [Skill] related to cooking to even be qualified for the job interview. 

Venture could check if there is a casino or something, since with his [Unique Skill]. Those places should be his best bet to hang around. However, Venture won't take the risk at all, even if he could find one. Since Venture has no idea if there are people with [Skill] that could detect other people using their [Skills] to cheat in some way.

Honestly, Venture is being very paranoid with all these kinds of things when it hasn't even happened yet. But, in his opinion; Venture rather be paranoid than end up being captured and used against his will or killed for many reasons. 

-LIABG-

After a few hours of disappointing job search. Venture begins walking back to the apartment building he has stayed so far. And luckily, the landlord didn't ask any questions that would make it difficult for him. All Venture had to do was pay for the rent and that's it. 

Soon, Venture would have to use his [Unique Skill] again as a way to gain more money, but who knows if his luck would good or bad at the time. However, if by the time Venture used up all his money and still haven't found a job. Then, Venture will have to depend on his luck for the better or worse.

A man who has no idea how he came into this world, but just know that he read lots of stories related to what happened to him, but Venture knows that every day is a chance of him dying either from monsters, fellow humans or even due to bad luck. All Venture knows is that he need to find out why he here and how can he return home, if that even possible.

Opening his eyes, Marcus could see that he was on a bed. Looking around him, he discovers that he was in a simple and clean room, with a little girl standing next to him. The little girl was excitedly looking at him. When she saw that Marcus had woken up she ran out of the room. Later she came back with a woman following her

"you're finally awake," said the women while approaching him and lifting him.

'oh shit, I have to start as a baby'


======

5 years later 

It has already been 5 years since Marcus started living his new life. 5 years ago, the woman who lifted him was his mother. While the lite Girl was named Gine and she was the companion that he had asked God.

During those 5 years, Marcus had started to train his power while showing his new parent is extreme intelligence and helping Gine train herself. Due to his intelligence, most of the time his parents would bring him a new book to read. But the bizarre thing is that he couldn't figure out his parent Job. Most of the time his parents and Gine's parents weren't at home.
 
Our parents had said that they work out of the state but I didn't believe it. After some research, I discovered that they work out of the country.

Also, one day, while testing the iron man armor interface, Marcus discovers a hidden space in his parent room. After some searching, Marcus found the hidden room in the closet and opened it. Inside he could only see a collection of different types of gun, munition and even grenade. if they were living in Gotham he could have accepted it but they were living in Central city.

So after discovering this he immediately grabs his laptop and starts searching for his parent identity. while doing this Gine walk in the room and sit next to Marcus 

"what are you doing"

"searching for our parent real Job" 

"why"

"I am curious... you will understand after looking into the closet "

After checking the closet Gine returns and sits next to Marcus. After a few minutes, Marcus found that their parents were mercenaries.

It's cool having mercenary parents.

After that, Marcus told Gine to keep it a secret, fix the closet the way it was before. They also checked Gine's parent apartment and found that they also had a hidden room full of guns and swords.

Anyway, Marcus had progressed with his plant during those five years. For example, he had already created the A.I Jarvis and right now he was using his computer to upgrade it with the help of the new knowledge he got from this world.

After finishing it, Marcus walks to the bookshelf that was in his room, picks up a book and starts riding it. A few years ago he had shown his parents his intelligence so they were making him read a lot of science books. He could see that some of them were more advanced than those in his memories.


soon Gine walk in the room excitedly "it's time for training" 

" Ok" Marcus got up and close the book and place it back on the bookshelf and walk in the middle of the room with Gine standing next to him

"Jarvis, please start the teleportation "

"Yes, Sir" 

"oh, so you finally upgrading Jarvis"

"Yeah"

======

in an all-white room, two Kid suddenly appeared

go change yourself 

Ok, Gine says excitedly and runs out of the room. Marcus walks to the computer that was in the room and started typing some code.

"Jarvis is everything working alright "

"Yes, sir everything is working perfectly. With the help of this new upgrade, I can assist you more properly."

"Great" finishing typing the codes, Marcus walks out of the room toward the changing room, changing his clothing. He went to the gym where he could see Gine doing some stretches. so He went next to her and also started stretching.

"Jarvis, you can start the danger room"

"Yes sir" 

Immediately the room started changing. Building and skyscrapers started growing out of the ground. After a few seconds, Marcus and Gine were standing in the middle of a city. Suddenly the voice of Jarvis resounded through the city announcing the start of the training.

=====

Gine was standing next to Marcus. After the announcement, he took a step forward with the electricity surrounding his body. In front of them, a group of robots started appearing, all of them were equipped with different types of weapons.

Those with guns immediately started shooting at them. Marcus retaliated by producing a force field around them, stopping all of the bullets. all was alright until the force-field was hit by an armor-piercing shell from a tank that was behind them. It had destroyed the force field but Marcus had created a more powerful one that barely manages to stop it.

"Gine, go take care of those from the back" 

"Ok" after accepting her order, Gine immediately runs toward the tank. Although the order robot was firing at her it was alright she only had to put her hand in front of her face to protect it, while letting the bullet hit the order part of her body. 

Although when the bullet hit her she felt a little pain. But she could endure it. Arriving in front of the tank she rams into it, pushing it back. then using all of the strength she could muster and flip it over. But she didn't have time to admire her work because she was surrounded by the robot ready to fire at her. But she didn't wait for them and took action first. she runs toward the close robot to her and punches it.

Gine when on a rampage destroying anything she could find. Marcus was floating in the air, with a force field around him stopping anything that was about it him.

"I better start too"  while floating in the air Marcus started concentrating on his power forming a lance made of pure lighting. after evading the shell fire by the tank that was in front of him and throw the lance at it. the lance when trow the tank, melting the metal in its way and explode after entering the tank, sending an arc of lighting around it.

 it Marcus first time using this technique so he stated admiring the damage the lance at made but during those few seconds of distraction is force field was hit by another shell sending him flying through the window of a building

"damn it," Marcus said while getting up. Suddenly a robot came out of the shadow with a sword stabbing it toward him  Marcus immediately took action grading the sword, melting it using his power, he then touched the robot chest, also melting it.

After touching the melted metal he starts reforming it as a sword and starts fighting with the order robot who appears one after one while keeping his force-field up protecting him from the bullet. 

BOOM.. aaaarg with the loud exploding sound and Marcus cried Gine was in panic locking toward the sound she could see that the building that Marcus was in was getting fired at by a squad of tanks. She immediately runs toward him. 

Arriving under the building she saw something that shocked her. She saw that Marcus was thrown out of the building from an explosion, but luckily he used his power landing safely next to her. 

"Enough" Marcus cried angrily while using all of his power causing a thunder rain down, destroying the building he was next too and the squad of tanks that were firing at him. After doing this he was feeling weak, forcing him to half kneel on the floor.

"sigh it's finally done ..oh no" 

After the smoke cleared up he saw that a tank had survived the lighting storm and the cannon pointed at him. Having us all of its power he couldn't even form a force field.

'Damn only one left.'

"aaaaaaaa" suddenly Gine started yelling while concentrating her ki and fire it at the tank destroying 

"end of level 1" the voice of Jarvis resounded through the building announcing the end of level 1. Gine was excited. It had already been half a year since Marcus had built this place and it was the first type since they passed level 1.

'Would you like to continue to level two "

"Yes,"  Gine cries out excitedly.

"No "

"Ok sir" 

looking toward Marcus she was mad "why didn't you let us progress to level two."

"It is seen that your Saiyan side is acting up," Marcus said while walking in front of her and flick his finger, sending a jolt of electricity through her body. which immediately paralyzes her, helping her realize the state of her body. then she passed out. 

"Jarvis, can you bring us to the medic room." than Marcus passed out from fatigue.

"Yes, sir."
