The hall was filled to the brim with people; there were still people downstairs, and the elevator kept bringing new visitors. At 10 am, the proprietor for Tian Teng Medical School finally appeared. He was of average height, had a short haircut, and looked to be in his thirties. 

There were two models in revealing nurse costumes trailing behind them. Even though their make-up was startling white, their eyes never stopped releasing electricity. The man tried the loudspeaker and stood at the steps before the entrance of the Haunted House and said, "Everyone, thank you for your kind support. Tian Teng Medical School has always maintained…" 

Chen Ge's eyes scanned the two models. He was not going to pay attention to the man's introductory speech. He was thinking about designing a pretty and sexy costume for Xu Wan when his Haunted House had its next activity. 

The man talked for two to three minutes before finally getting to the point. 

"Our team optimizes the Haunted House every six months. With the aid of a professional foreign team, all the scares are updated, and as the proprietor, it is my responsibility to tell everyone that Tian Teng Medical School is scarier than all the other Haunted Houses available on the market! 

"We strive for the most realistic terror, unlike certain unethical Haunted Houses who rely on online water armies to brush up on their popularity. They think that this was clever, and some did fall for the dirty tricks, but to be honest, I find this behavior laughable!" 

Chen Ge was getting impatient from all the slander. He nudged forward through the crowd, but there were too many people. Finally, he reached the ticket seller. "One ticket please." 

"Did you book a ticket online?" 

"No." 

"I'm sorry, today's tickets have all been sold. How about you stay until afternoon? Perhaps there might be an opening then." 

"The tickets are all gone?" 

The proprietor continued to speak on stage. "If the Haunted Houses on the market are first generation, my Tian Teng Medical School is a fourth generation Haunted House that combines many high-end technology! 

"Today is the first day we're opening our doors for the citizens of Jiujiang. To let everyone have a clearer understanding of the situation, I'll randomly select four visitors to experience the Haunted House with an audio recorder and a portable electrocardiographic monitor! Through the speakers that are connected to the audio recorder and the cardiograph broadcasted on screen, you'll be able to see for yourself how scary our Haunted House is!" 


Before the proprietor finished talking, there was already cheer from the crowd. It was hard to tell whether this was a set-up or not. 

"There's a code behind every ticket, and we'll select the lucky ones with a randomized code generator." The man nodded to the sales counter, and the workers started to do their work. 

Chen Ge saw everything with his eyes. The man stepped on his Haunted House to bring himself up, and he could not take that lying down. 

"Wait!" Chen Ge raised his hand and walked onto the stage. "You said earlier that your Haunted House is scary but other Haunted Houses depend on online water army to brush up on their popularity. That, I don't agree with." 

The man frowned. If not for the crowd, he would have called for security to haul Chen Ge out. 

"I am the boss of Western Jiujiang's House of Horrors, the owner of the Haunted House that you're happily slandering online. The day before yesterday I just hosted a livestream that has more than 600,000 viewers." 

When Chen Ge walked to the stage, there was a familiar voice from the crowd that called out. "Boss‽" 

Chen Ge followed the voice and saw He San and Gao Ru Xue standing in the crowd. 

"Why are you here?" Chen Ge was baffled. He San was openly supporting his enemy. "If you want to experience a Haunted House, why didn't you come to me?" 

He San did not know how to explain himself. He could not openly admit before the proprietor of Tian Teng Medical School that Boss Chen's Haunted House was too scary. His class was still having nightmares from their previous experience and thus decided to come to another Haunted House to seek some relaxation. 

The man took this in as well. He had already recognized Chen Ge. "Looks like your Haunted House is not that popular; even your own friend won't support you. Fine, if you insist on learning some tricks from us, we're willing to provide you with this opportunity. Don't say that we're not generous people." 

The man was clever. Since they dared slander Chen Ge's Haunted House online, they obviously knew of Chen Ge. By letting Chen Ge into the Haunted House, his intention was clear. If Chen Ge was scared inside Teng Tian Medical School, he could use this as a point of promotion and forcefully yank the customers from Western Jiujiang's House of Horrors. Chen Ge had the same idea as he did; they both wanted to persuade the other's visitors to come to their own. 

Due to the recent livestream, Chen Ge's Haunted House had become a hot item online, but he knew that the popularity would not last for long. At most, it would last for a week. Even though Tian Teng Medical School was not as popular as Chen Ge's Haunted House within Jiujiang, they had a large national popularity and a number of loyal fans like Su Su. 

"Come, help him put on the audio recorder and heart monitor." The two models walked toward Chen Ge. "Now, we'll pick the remaining three lucky visitors." 

"I don't think that's necessary." Chen Ge shrugged. "Challenging a Haunted House alone is more fun. If you can manage to scare me, I will admit that my Haunted House is not as scary as yours on my website and promote your Haunted House for a whole month." 

The man was intrigued by what Chen Ge said, but he was cautious as well. He was sure Chen Ge was up to something. "How are we going to gauge that we've managed to scare you?" 

"You've installed the heartrate monitor, right? The normal heartrate when a person is walking is between 60 to 100. When they're scared, the oxygen in their blood will drastically decrease, and the heart will pump faster." Chen Ge looked at the man and calmly said, "If my heartrate ever rises over 100, I'll lose." 

"You have a deal." The man did not give Chen Ge any chance to change his mind. Even a small jog would bring a man's heartrate over 100, much less being scared. From how he saw it, Chen Ge was bound to lose. 

"Don't be so hasty. If I lose, I will admit your Haunted House is scarier than mine online, but what if you lose?" 

"Don't worry, if we lose, we'll also admit that our Haunted House is not as scary as yours online." The man pointed at the crowd. "Everyone here can be your witness." 

"Actually, I still have one small request." Chen Ge smiled innocently. "I think that you still have some misunderstandings about my Haunted House. I hope that your team will be willing to come visit my Haunted House. I've added a new scenario, and it hasn't been opened to the public yet." 

"Okay, no problem," the man promised easily and earned affection from the crowd. Only He San and Gao Ru Xue had a curious expression on their faces. Looking at the man, they saw themselves in the past overlapping with him.

A man, the attendant of the printing shop sitting in front of his desk, waiting for some customers to come and decided to make a story about a man with a system because he's bored. (Of course, he's a beginner for story-making.)

'Hmm, systems huh?' *tap * tap. He thought while his fingers continues to tap on the desk while he keeps staring at his monitor.

'Maybe a story about the man who's been killed in acciden – Nah, boring, too common. Then how about the man who's writing a story casually then suddenly died?.... Bullshit, what about the reasons why he died?..... Fuck reasons, the Universe is wide; the Universe doesn't need reasons. But, 'we people do', "hahaha," he laughs, 'I'll stick to it then. Let's be unreasonable.' And he started his typing…..

What he doesn't know, someone above heard his thoughts and his story became….. his.

~~~ 

(ᵔᴥᵔ) 'Hehehehe. That's right, fuck reasons… Hehehehe'. An unknown man above grin and made some preparation…. 'Nah. what preparation?' *snap.

~~~

Void 101

For a very long time. 1 second specifically.

'... What the? Why I can't see? Temporary blindness again?' The attendant thought. 'But I can't feel anything… ugh, even my bo-…dy? Eh? In the past, it's temporary blindness and now I loss the sense of touch too? What the fuck is this!?' and he's panicking.

"Calm down boy." An unknown voice resounding in his darkness.

'Oh, a customer? ' "Wait a bit, sir. Got temporary blindne-" he stopped. Something clicks on his mind.

"Who's there!?" he shouts, "I remembered I'm just sitting behind my desk, in front of the monitor and I'm sure this isn't the shop. Can you explain what's happening, please!?" the attendant replied in fear and cautiously while trying not to panic but failed because the man with him might be the reason why he is here and there's something he wants from him, and for the sake of that (4th)something, his life is in the man's hand now. And he think billions of reasons why this is happening. 

He continues but only in thoughts, 'And somehow, my mind is free?  I mean, my mind feels like floating, (the 5th) something like…. mortals body limit is not applicable now?  Doesn't have a sense of time…. too.' He suddenly stop talking in his mind and realized something to the 6th power. 

"Hey, bro, this isn't funny, fucking all senses are in loss? What in the fucking universe is this? I can't feel my body, even the smell, sight, and hear. Anything. Yeah, I'm fucking pretty crystal clear sure for the 7th time of something in this darkness, that I'm not in my shop now! There's no sound of vehicles, voices of people chatting outside, and… this isn't the feeling of something you heard a sound or a voice..… So this is, in, my, mind?" he keeps blubbering and slightly shouting like some mad scientist until he remembered he's not alone anymore. "So? Care to explain what you know, mister?" He asked. trying to be brave but he is nervous, he feels rage, but fear too, and the crazy thing is, he wants to know what is this shit. After all, he's a bit nerd but not to the point of being neet. 
[AN: No harm means, guys.]

"Hehehe, why ask for reasons, boy?" the man asked.

 "What do you mean, sir?" attendant replied while trying to be the Doctor Strange next door, thinking all the possibilities.

"What do you mean 'what do I mean?", I mean you thought that "fuck reasons" right?" man clarified while smirking.

"Yes, I thought that but who in the fucking galactic federation doesn't want an explanation.for.what. in.the.black.hole.is.happening.here? Of course, if you count that this blubbering of mine is for me while the question is for you. Please, answer me... " he tried to glare at the man but failed to do so because somehow, he doubts what he is now. And the feeling of fear lessens because of the voice somehow friendly, yeah somehow he felt that, but not letting his guard down fully.

"Ehhhh. but you seem having fun back there, no?" man tilted his head.

'Back there?' he noted.
"Yes I have but it's different for me, in this situation. If you know what I mean." 'why do I feel some shenanigans will happen?'

"Fine. the reason while I killed you is - "

"Wait, killed? You killed me? Ho-how? No, no, I mean WHY? Why the fuck is that? I thought-" rage builds up. The man interrupts too. 

"Sigh, stop interrupting me, please? And what I am saying is you died because... *drumrolls ... *bang *confetti ... no reasons at all. Fuck reasons! Yeah! Hehehehe."

 (╯`Д´)╯︵ ┻━┻  
"This is bullshit. and you changed the 'killed' to 'died'. Why~, You are so Awesome!~." he complained. "Yes, fuck reasons. but I said that, WE.PEOPLE.DO!!!!!" he continued.

"I'm awesome, I know right? Deal with it. So back to the topic. So, I killed you with no reason at all, no maybe there's one"

"Shameless, and I'm being sarcastic not praising you, dammit! So what's this "one" that you're talking about would be?"

"Because you said 'Let's be unreasonable.' So..... Why I shouldn't be too? and ta-da~! there you are~"

"Fuck this shit I'm out!" he quit rage. 

"You can't my boy, remember you are DEAD, Dead, ead, ad, d~" *Soprano to Tenor

"Sigh~ So what now, my dear killer, O'God of shamelessness? By the way, what am I now, I mean, there's no sense of sight, smell, touch, hear. Yes, somehow I can hear you but it's different, it's like physically to mentally, yep, something like that, for the fucking 8th time."

"Hmmm, you forgot the sense of taste."

"Oh.NO.YOU.SHIT. what in the fucking sense the taste will be used here? Lick the darkness,?" 

"Oh, I'm here."

And if the attendant still got his eyes it will be big enough to be normal chicken eggs. "GRAAAARGGAGHHH, You're gross! While I don't hate gays and lesbians, but I'm straight, OK!? So stop that sad face for now!? Even I can't see you I had this feeling what you're doing!"

"Oh, sad, so sad.... You're pure soul now, but I won't say soul tho. You will be called like that when you're in the normal processing of reincarnation and transmigration shit. For Now, I said FOR NOW, we call you, or some like you, The SOMETHING, for the nth power."

"Wha- WHAT! What the fuck, The Something, why's that? It feels like an evolution of The Thing in Fantastic Four. What am I, a pokemon? godammit!"

"Oh, because 'Soul' is already basic, common, whatever, mentally boring that's why we voted for the new things like you. After all, if you lived enough to traverse the observable universe, words will be boring too." he smiled again. "And yes you can be The Pokemon or Zoid too, for the matter of fact, ma'boy." he continues.

'We? He's not alone or the only one of his kind, huh?' he thought.
"No Shit Sherlock, you said FOR NOW. And The Something. It means I can be who/what I decided to be later, I mean, why you killed me and the ability to change to something for the Matter of Fact but in a reasonable range, right?"

"Yup, yup, naysuan(Nice One), Genius!~ Right, only something, not anything. Let's say, what if you decided to be the humanoid of the Akashic Record? Aka, himself will pull your very existence to nothingness in very very slow time while in the void zone, Hehehe." 
~(˘▾˘~)

"Fuck, what genius, I am not, maybe wise, just a bit. HAAAAA. Fuck for the unknownth power. And that's very... simple, but fucking scariest of all torture. By the way, can you feel the pull or some like?" he whispered in the end. Just like trying to be secretive.

"No, but you will see your very existence that will be pulled into pieces to nothingness, not feel. It's like you're watching your very self to be erased and Aka will give you the very complex mind setting that.will.make.you.like.a.person.that.is.so.desperate.to.live... scared to be erased.... Thrashing,... trying,... to get away from His clutches... to hide from Him,... looking back while running... tripping in uncountable times... and trying to crawl even if it's so slow... just to make the gap between you and Him widen... facing the floor... stretching your limbs to the fullest... trying your best to stand... to continue running... and you look at front... and suddenly... you will see the face of... Kuchisake-senpai smiling at you brightly... minus the happy feeling, of course. Something like that. Hehehehe." the man said, with changing his voice in each comma to comma, like narrating some scary shits while smiling like a madman. *clap

( .^‿ ^.)人(.^‿ ^.) 
Somehow they agreed in one thing.

"That's bullshit, the epitome of one for that. Asking for some OP things than the person you're talking with and the very person that will give you powers. -greedisgood 99999999999. Not even knowing or asking who/what is the highest being first, Hehehehe. As if your level in masochism is already in god rank, and asking for more beating." the attendant seconded. Showing his dark side too.

"I know, right? Soooo let's go back to what we're talking about... I killed you, you have benefits for it tho. No limits for wishes but be reasonable, for Akashic Record's sake, if you don't want to be erased for eternally. Even if we said we will be unreasonable, just do it."

"Sigh, ok then, system only-"

"Eh, why Only?" the man asked.

"Duh! I'm not finished yet, so don't interrupt me. 'Deja Vu?' As I said, System ONLY. Of course, I'm one of the modern era boys so I'm comfortable with visual numbers. But, what I want for the system is To Be casual or normal as they say but I like to call it Casual. I mean no scheming bitch of an A.I. pulling behind my back. And I need it to be soul bound of something like that but not traceable because some skills have soul skills. And let my system have the Status, Inventory, Records, Skill, Missions, Shop, Craft, Setting and lastly Chat. Oh, forgot the 'lastly' I need Customization too, I mean I can organize, design, add and delete something in my system, of course, editing to become OP suddenly is not in my list of likes, that's boring for me. Even Saitama worked hard for his powers and don't forget, for that powers, he became lonely, some emotions gone, not for good but just locked inside of him, and became bald."

"Hmmm, your good, I like you." the man smiled at him.

"Damn, I'm straight. Stop that smile of yours, it's scaring me, dammit!" attendant shivered to the whole soul of his and to the highest level because he can't see the man he was talking to and maybe already behind him, beside or in his front, 1 step away.

"Next. let's go for specification, 
STATUS: Stats based on a Combination of all games on Earth plus Movies, Books, Animes, and Light Novel Statuses, I can share it or show it to someone I trust. etc.
INVENTORY: 1000 Slots with 999 stocks of the same item. It can be upgraded/expand via Shop. etc.

And Graphics, I can adjust to Low and High Quality - if I want to censor or see the highest details for visualization like carnage/brutal killing/massacre so I'll be the one who decide when to confront the unfair and cruelty of reality of life.

And my system will be named the "Casual System". Simple, and normal. No eight-grade syndrome. That's all for now, sir." he explained.

Nauubusan na ako ng Inglés. Arestuhin niyo na to, tang ina naman o! Sige na! Rápido! Ingles-inglesin mo 'ko sa bayan ko, puñeta! (I'm running out of English. Arrest him already! Damn it! Quickly! Damn your foreign tongue.) - Antonio Luna

A 25-year-old man is so bored, tried to make a story - even if he is just a beginner - because he is lazy as fuck. Doesn't have a serious job and his reason is 'they're boring,' that's all. No need for universe breaking reason, because of what he thought for a couple of seconds for the male lead of his story. He died, oh, nope, sorry that's wrong, he was killed and he became that man.


"Encrypted audio, dot, MP3," Jessica mumbled under the background noise. Indelible concentration satisfied her restlessness. Therapeutic problem-solving always barred everything else from her stream of thought, and she didn't have to remember the present in order to function as normalÑher level of normal. Such deep concentration drew her friends' attention.
Valerie had seen Jessica like this before, executing code, scribbling alphanumerics, or breathing life into hardware. But that excited look on her face, like a witch over a cauldron, meant she was on the path to answers. Shannon noticed it, too, the intense focus and control, a level of focus she was could be matched. Jessica's friends keenly observed and waited for the end result, clueless as to the meaning of the onscreen characters, numb to their own excitement.
"Unlocked!" the nerd nearly screamed. "I like to break without breaking. As the boobed droid with brain matter, this was manageable."
Valerie leaned closer. "So, what's inside?"
"I have to admit, I'm curious as hell," added Shannon.
Energy, sobriety, somberness; Jessica's expression fell three levels. "Could this really be related to what happened to Pine Rim and Beth?" She mulled over the screen, specifically on a bare audio file ready to commence playback. 
"You'll finally get to know," egged Valerie. "We'll know."
The sound of ringing broke the moment, anticipation interrupted by a call and the hologram of a woman's profile. 
"That's Eva," said Jessica. "My boss. It has to be because I've missed work."
"Can't you take it later?" said Valerie.
"She doesn't call this late..."
"Pick it up or don't, Jess," said Shannon.
Hesitantly, Jessica accepted the call.
"Buonasera!" Eva yelled. "Sto cercando il dolce Jes!"
"Hey, Eva..."
"Ehi, I have not seen chetah and wondered if she was okay!'
"Yea, I should have called in my sick days. My coughing and blueberry paleness wouldn't have worked for the customers, but I should've told you."
"You're always pale!"
Silent as could be, Valerie and Shannon listened and shot awkward stares traced with fretfulness. Somehow, the call transformed into a frivolous conversation having nothing to do with work, before Eva suddenly questioned, "Are you home right now?"
Jessica scowled confusingly at her two friends, who shrugged, then coolly answered, "Yea, Eva, I'm home."
"Bene! Because you should be resting if you are sick. See you tomorrow night!"
"Okay, Eva. Have a good night."
"Byeee!"
Back against the mesh, she caressed her chin meditatively. "That was weird."
"What?" Valerie shrugged. "What's weird about it?"
"I always start work in the morning, and she's never there at night."
"That is weird," said Shannon, tilting her head. "But where were we?"
Jessica's watch vibrated, further pricking Valerie's patience. Nonetheless, Jessica checked the message, noting the Ghost Wire tag. It proved to be nothing more and nothing less than a warning: You don't have much time. Leave. A new storm of questions. 
"I'm copying all the chip's information.
Neither Valerie nor Shannon understood Jessica's newfound urgency. Disturbed, they observed her dominance of the keyboard with R2-D2 jammed in the desktop. File after file thus transferred from one drive to the other.
"Jessica, what's wrong?" exclaimed Valerie.
"A hunch," she said. "Variables."
"Variables?" Shannon repeated. "What? What did you read just now?"
"Format unrecognized," Babel interrupted. Heeding his voice, all three girls upturned to the monitors. A white box on the center panel displayed the attempt but inability to initialize a download. Hence, the loading sequence froze at zero. The freeze startled Valerie and Shannon but injected a new kind of curiosity in Jessica, who issued a new command.
"Babel, display file script."
The computer displayed new images across the nine panels. They were cryptic, orange, and parsed in sequences of nine in never-ending black. They looked like simple dashes and lines, except with a curvature like no character on a keyboard. "Like binary," Jessica whispered to her clueless friends. "That," she exclaimed, sitting upright, "I think that's Azarean code. Maybe their own programming language. It's their binary, for lack of a better term. Wicked..."
"Binary. Crap, I know you've mentioned that before," said Valerie, "somewhere." She caressed her forehead, thinking.
Shannon snapped her fingers. "It's the very basic thing behind computers."
"Yea! Como su idioma!"
"So why is this file among the rest?" said Jess. "It would be nice to have answers. All the crazy stuff we could learn, but we would need an Azarean processor..."
Valerie sighed. "But you can't even download it."
"Babel, screenshot the entire script and download everything in JPG format. Label it Trinity." A bleep confirmed her command. Snapshot after snapshot of orange code sorted through the holo-panels, copying into the removable drive. "Still copying."
"How long?" said Shannon.
"Not long." However, she had not forgotten the audio file. Finger on the cusp of the panel, she made eye contact with Valerie then Shannon. Enveloped by anticipation, she tapped. A conversation commenced:
"Let me remind you, thespian, precision is key in every step of the operation. A margin of error shall leave us vulnerable. The slightest detail overlooked and your mistakes shall be redressed. Are my words clear?"
"'I am the epitome of precision, mister agent. I'm no inept dog, like the people outside. I'm still loyal, and this job hits two birds with one stone. Plan, guide, command as you like, a mistake will not fall on the execution but the planning. I take my work very seriously."
"Then you understand the layout?"
"My people know the streets, sure.  They'll stay hidden and meet every request. So long as your applications keep people away, as long as the citywide blackout occurs as you promised, every player will be in place before Judgement Day. And then the show will begin."
"Good. Goliath surveillance shall not be an issue. Simply ensure your followers secure the parcels."
 "Then it all hinges on the final show on the fourth. You've chosen the right man. I promise. I can deliver the entire message from memory, right now."
Dismay, surprise, and revelation. Jess, Val, and Shannon hooked onto every word of the playback, disquietly piecing the evidence together. The same two voices carried on, back and forth, both familiar.
The first voice resonated in Jessica's memory, his identity on the tip of her tongue. She listened intently as the playback continued:
"Not necessary."
Throat clearing. The voice suddenly changed its American accent to British. "Citizens of the deceitful sovereignÑ"
"I said, it is not necessary."
His accent brought the memories back, alongside a flood of emotions. The girls recognized the voice of the terrorist, the so-called face of Sub Terra. 
"Guess you were serious about no curtain call. Do you distrust your own security or..."?
"All security is proofed by layers. Now, I must see to a dilemma. Be ready."
"Hail theÑ!"
The playback ended.
"I knew it!" stammered Valerie. "Fucken knew it!" Her hand fell on Jessica's shoulder. "That's no resistance! That's some conspiracy bullshit! Sub Terra's not involved."
"This is unreal!" Shannon said, quivering.
But Jessica dwelled on the other voice. Stoic and uptight as it was, the face floated somewhere in the data stream of her thoughts. And why did the other man sound like a sycophantic artist?
"That's proof though, right?" said Valerie. "Someone else has gotta see who the murderers are!"
Jessica was too busy toggling her pair of goggles. Then her mouth fell. "That's him!" she exclaimed, and disquietly thrust the specs into Valerie's grasp.
Curiously, receptively, Valerie strapped the goggles and saw Malvis. "Who's the alien?" she asked.
"That's the other speaker," said Jessica.
"Really?" Valerie felt a tap on her shoulder. Underneath the lenses, Shannon's eyes glistened under the dim monitors, home to the same kind of sadness surrounding Jessica. 
"I am sorry," Jessica moaned. "I'm sorry for staking the blame on you, Val."
"There is no blame, homegirl." Valerie approached and patted Jessica on the back. Jessica spun, stood up, and clasped her in a sisterly embrace.
Shannon coughed back a whimper. "You guys are getting too wound up." 
Valerie waved Shannon over, and the three of them held onto one another.
"I'm going to miss her," said Jess.
Valerie scrunched. "Me too."
"She won't be forgotten, though," said Shannon.
Jessica clenched the necklace around her neck. "No, she won't..."

Jessica Leibniz tried being a normal teenager, but unlike most teenagers, she can tell time without a clock. She still wears a watch, but it comes with incriminating A.I. software. It's part of her fashion sense-if you call a mix of 80's nostalgia, geekism, and jagged hair a fashion sense. Otherwise, you have a normal, nineteen-year-old girl who delivers pizza and tacos by day and hacks cybersecurity networks by night. All the while, she turns heads, probably because she performs her job on a gravity board, which is relatively unorthodox in a future where aliens rule the planet.

The alien takeover could have ended more violently, but there's irony in how efficient and peaceful Earth has become a hundred years later. Corporations still reign supreme, but aliens lie at the top of the social ladder. Azareans they call them, overlords who've constructed a new kind of city for the modern world. The Eden: a modern megapolis.

Accustomed to life in the modern city, Jessica has learned to embrace challenge when it comes her way. Without a cause, she confides in her three friends or smacks into boredom. And when she seamlessly cracks an uncrackable corporate security algorithm, nothing makes sense. Faced with world-turning revelations, the life she's led seems trivial next to a hundred-year lie and tragedy.

While many players were waiting for the timer to end, in the "Evolutioners" office, staff were extremely busy.
15 more workers had been recruited by Fei Hong in the past month. 5 of them for office work and 10 were for server and game monitoring team.
They were all busy typing and making final arrangements for the launch of the game.
The game monitoring team was given access to the server but they were only allowed to access the game data and minor programs.
They had no access to the core algorithm program.
The main thing they had to do was to answer the question of the player and fix some minor problems faced by them.
There were no bugs in the game as it was optimized by the library and test run by Qing.
Though Qing could monitor and do all this stuff easily, Fu Yan did not want to expose her so he let Fei Hong hired a team for these minor problems.
All the workers in the office were told that they were just a second-team as the main developer team was working from somewhere else.
Fei Hong did not ask questions and did as she was told by Fu Yan.
She knew he had a reason to do so and would tell her later.
Everything was proceeding smoothly and the countdown entered the final hour.
Players were already flocking the website.
The game software was only 1Gb in size and these just some files that were needed to connect to the cloud platform and some minor stuff.
Fu Yan thought about this problem a lot and even used some technologies from the library to make it perfect.
The main thing was to allow users to play not let them see the data and how the game was working.
He knew that many internet companies were staring at this game launch because of the technology promised and if users were allowed to download full game, these companies would crack it eventually no matter how advanced the technology is.
He did not have the power to protect himself and the technologies yet so he would rather play safe.
                                       ...
Tang Qin was also staring at the countdown on the download button.
Finally, the countdown entered the last 10 seconds.
He stared at it and counted.
8
7
6
5
4
3
2
1..
And then he started to spam the download button.
Many would say why he spammed when he could download it eventually, That was because when are hundreds of users trying to download a file, it would eventually lag and he won't be able to download it till an hour later.
But to his surprise, the file started to download immediately and the speed was not slow.
He was not the only one surprised, all the users who tried to download did not face any difficulty.
Everything proceeded as planned.
Some users were doubting the game because the size of the file was only 1Gb and the game promised very high-end graphics.
Tang Qin was also doubting it but he still downloaded it and ran the program.
He got prompt that the program was installed and he could launch it.
He ran the program and a beautiful interface popped up.
He started to enter the details that were asked.
First, he had to enter an account name and his age.
After filling all this he was asked to enter a mobile number for verification.
He verified it and created an account.
After this, the game was launched.
He was taken to a character creation page and he created his character. He was again asked to verify his age.
"What verify my age, what the hell is this. How can I verify my age."
Just when he was thinking this, he was asked whether the game could access his camera.
He allowed it and the camera opened.
A message popped up on the game page.
"To allow the user to experience the best entertainment in-game and provide security for the account, you can use the face lock function for the game. It is used to lock an account to a face and it can be transferred if you want."
Tang was amazed after reading this message.
He looked at the camera for 5 sec as it was asked by the game and a message popped up again.
"Face has been bound to the account. Age confirmed. 18 years old. Thanks for choosing to play our game. For a better experience, we suggest you chose a profession that you like to be in real life. Enjoy."
Fu Yan added this technology at the last day. He saw it when he was browsing books in the library and was being trained by old Shun about how to handle and do different things in the library.
After thinking a bit, Tang chose an alchemist as his profession because he wanted to be a chemist in real life.
After doing all this, the screen changed again and his character was standing in a field.
He controlled his character and moved around. The movements were fluid and the graphics looked real.
It was as if he was watching a real-life recording. He could see the individual leaves of a tree and tiny strands of grass.
The grass swayed with the wind and cloth fluttered naturally.
"Wow, This game is too real."
He ran towards a tree and kicked it. The trunk shook a little and leaves fell.
He tried to climb the tree by moving a little but fell halfway but it showed that his movements were not restricted in-game.
Even the way his character fell, looked natural.
He wondered.
"How much resources and programing was used to make this game real"
"These graphics are top class then my PC should have been boiling right now but even the cooling fan is not running."
He looked at the PC resources being used and it was not even 30%.
So this what you call the best graphics and freedom in-game but why are they giving the best graphics for free. I think I saw something about paid to get good graphics.
A message popped up again on the side of the window.
"For new users, they can enjoy the top-class graphics and all professions for 2 days. After 2 days monthly subscription is needed to play all professions and to enjoy the best graphics. Users can still play normal versions of the game with fewer graphics free of cost."
Tang nodded upon seeing this message and looked at the price for the monthly subscription and to his surprise, it was just $15/month, $75 / 6 month and $130/year.
"I think I can afford this game but it might be high for some people. If you see the graphics and cloud gaming service they provide, it cheap too cheap."
He was streaming the whole session from the start to the end.
The chat was bombarded with comments.
Many who had not downloaded the game, after seeing the stream rushed to download it and play.
The whole gaming community was boiling after the game was released.

Hello how are you
Let me introduce myself I am the Author of this book (reflections). This book will mainly deal with my "Reflections" and Opinions on various topics.
I started this book because I want to practice my writing and one day become an Author and make a living writing books.
I have had many thoughts and ideas; to write my own Original books. But when I sit in front of the computer I go blank
So I thought about writing a fanfic, to practice my writing, but still, I was left blank. Despite also having many ideas and story and character development. I was blank; I did not know what to write or how to put my thoughts into words.
Then one night I got the idea to write a book about my thoughts.
And so this book was born.
I decided that the first chapter would be a presentation:
To begin, I want to say that I am: a Christian, I was born in a Christian home and raised in a Christian family.
I believe that God created the Universe and everything in it.
I also think and believe that everything happens because HE allows it to happen; if "good or bad" things happen.
I really like Anime; I started watching Anime at 12 years old. The first one I saw I saw it from YouTube on my cell phone. The first anime I saw was; Rurouni kenshin or (samurai X), I saw him until the fight with Shishio, after that fight it seemed to me that he lost quality and I didn't see him again.
The second anime that I also saw from YouTube on my cell phone was Medabots. I saw all the chapters.
Later I saw inuyasha but I left him because he bothered me with inuyasha. I don't remember the reason, but it did bother me a lot XD.
Then I saw Ranma ½ that anime I liked a lot. I was surprised to learn that it was the same Author as inuyasha. I saw all the chapters. The movie and the 14 ovas. But I haven't read the manga yet.
I started looking for animes in Latin Spanish and I found Kenichi. I watched all the chapters of the anime. and some time after reading a post on Facebook an image where he posted where the anime ended to continue it in the manga. I read all the chapters of the manga
About ½ after seeing Ranma, a relative loaned us his laptop. (The reason I was watching anime with the phone was because it had no speakers and it had outdated audio drivers and I didn't know anything. I thought I had a faulty audio card, but not that it had outdated drivers. I found out in 2019. all the time thinking it was the audio card but it was the drivers when I found out I was feeling stupid and ashamed of my ignorance).
Cough cough
 
As I was saying after my relative loaned us the laptop, I started watching anime on animeflv.
There I found To Love Ru, an anime that became my favorite for a long time. I liked the comedy and how the characters interacted, as well as the personality of the protagonist. And I think it's an excellent anime (it's one of those guilty tastes that I have). But if there's one thing I have to say that I didn't like it was the excess of ecchi and fanservice on the part of the authors and I think this really hurts the job. Because it's as if the authors thought more about pleasing the readers than developing the characters and the story.
Then I saw Soul Eater, Rosario + Vampire, Katekyo Hitman Reborn. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and many other anime.
 (One Piece I saw almost 700 chapters without audio I stayed where Luffy defeats Doflamingo).
Since my computer had no audio, I started reading manga. I read them on TumangaOnline. That's when I read Kenichi, Rosario + Vampire, Re Monter. That's where I read the Manhua from Tales of Demos And Gods. In the comments I saw that someone commented that he had a novel and I liked it so much that I looked for it and that is how I started reading web novels.
 
I don't like watching sports on television. I find them very boring.
I like to exercise, although I am very lazy, (but it is not entirely my fault since I was born tired, after I was born the doctor had to pat me to cry) so sometimes or almost always I don't. (TT_TT)
I graduated from Bachiller of Science at the age of 15. and a few months later I passed the introductory course to study medicine. (Premedical).
And at 16 and a few months I started college. But I didn't make an effort to study, and as expected I ended up losing the year. And if he failed the last quarterly exam he ran the risk of being expelled, so requesting a temporary withdrawal from the university "accused of family problems."
As the new school term begins, I started with a slightly more focused and serious mindset. Two months after starting and being close to the first trimester exam. The teacher in charge of my year calls me and tells me that that year I cannot attend the school year, due to the withdrawal request that I had previously requested, that I had to wait at least one year before I could resume my studies.
After that I became very depressed.
After about 6 months had passed, my mother told me if she wanted to study education at another university. She told me that a friend told her that the introductory course was about to start and that few people signed up, and she asked me if I wanted to sign up. and I answered yes.
I passed the introductory with a high mark and started my first semester in the College of Education.
It goes without saying that history repeated itself, started the semester motivated but that motivation was gradually lost. Mainly because he had many free hours, due to the lack of teachers, who had left the country.
I finished spending the semester, (With some subjects postponed), but I had already lost the desire to continue so I did not continue attending.
 
It has been almost 5 or 6 years since I graduated from high school and I have not done anything with my life, I do not study and I do not work becoming a holder of the Neet Title.
Sometimes I wonder how my parents feel about me, they feel Disappointed. Annoying or perhaps proud, but how would they feel proud of me, if I have not done anything I have not achieved anything.
To be honest at this age I already saw myself as a successful person with a home of my own. Independent, and that I would have bought my parents a house on the beach. That I know, they would be proud of me, and I could take care of them.
Not like I am right now, the misguided and disappointing stereotype of an otaku.
But I don't want to continue as I am now. I want to be better. Beat myself.
 
That's why I want to be an Author making a living with what I like, writing novels, writing and exploring fantasy worlds, making people happy with my stories.
Horre my God. Honor my Parents, Honor my Family.
 
Doing what I like, working on what I like.

I wanted to write a book, but when I sat in front of the computer I was left blank and did not know what to write or how to write it, although I have many ideas and developments, I did not know how to translate. my ideas.
Then I came up with the idea to write a book about my thoughts and opinions on various topics. To practice my writing in that way.
I am Latin American and my mother tongue and the only language I know is Spanish.
I write the chapters in Spanish and translate them with the google translator. That is why I ask for your patience and tolerance to forgive my spelling mistakes.

Fantasia is in great need of a school to built a bridge between the world of fantasy and the reality on today. What will the Children of Light do? 
Discover the adventure of Loouna and Soley in the world of fantasy and the Upper World where Amaterasu, the Goddess of the Sun lives!

I am at a Room It is brightly lit  with a lamp at the bedside and some filament tubes at the ceiling. The Room is big and gorgeously decorated with pictures and decrations .The walls are painted blue which gives one a feeling of serenity. It is a Five starred hotel room. I can know this by seeing the Paper which is on the table.

The Hotel name is Blue Ocean which truly is a good name.

I look at my smartphone  black screen with a twitching lips as if this is the reason I'm here.

" Ahh..I need to look what is the situation outside and assess it to know my current condition."

I walked up to the window which is at the right side of the bed... I look outside of the window below and found people running away  a group of other people like they were in some murderous chase.

The people who were running at front were fear stricken as confused what is going on.

I look down squinting my eyes and saw that the people who were chasing behind were slow on their feet but they were still relentless.

Suddenly one male figure fell down hitting something and I could see him being trampled
by the others. After some time the fallen figure rolled around and stood up with mangled hands which was limping and continued walking joining the chasing crowd.

I saw this scene and I know that I am in an apocalyptic era.

Let's get to how I got here again.
.....
...
....

My Name is Amar ,19 year old.. Thought I live a middle class life in this country. Education I have.. Now I am at my college doing business management study. I don't know why I am even studying here. I was since small  told that education is necessary to find a job . So I thought I needed to study but after graduation from school I realize it was never enough.

As time went on Expenses would increase and I had to look for a part time job.

I taught tution and work part time in stores. But still enduring on. Family could support me but at a high cost. 

Now this year there's a Pandemic. The whole world is infected with a virus.
Work rate dropped and Income dropped. Still we have a government who cut off their own expenses so they could feed the needy.

I am at home during this quarantine. What I am doing is what every other normal adult in Modern world would do. 
Work from home..? 
Nah Nah..

.
.
It is to play PUBG.

I was playing PUBG. Reaching Ace. An achievement was it?. Actually No, It isn't. 

Now Ace players are like a herd of sheeps.
 
But what I am talking here is not about the game but my mishap. I was playing PUBG while charging the game started with and intense match. All other every player landed in one place . My game crashed and the phone couldn't support it. The overload blew up my charger and I dropped my Phone.

I was scared shitless. Damn My phone... I was scared AF ..I tried to On but it didn't ..I pressed for a long time and finally it switched On but there was no main menu as it was stuck on recovery Mode screen..

The update started coming in.. I was now a bit calm.. Still I look at my charger and cursed my negligence for not taking care of my phone well. I'll never do that ever again.

The update finished after 5 minutes which left me happy.

I look up at the main page screen but I was flabbergasted as to what is this thing.

" Where are all my apps.. And what kind of theme is this.. Oh wait there is one app ...hmm it's an App store.. Well I guess I'll download PUBG again..."

I opened the app store and lots of paid apps were there but nah I am not buying these.. I don't even buy things inside game. Why would I buy these.!

I looked for where the search menu is but I found None.

There was no search menu.

' What do I do now.! Does this thing have any customer service.. Seems like the new update Appstore is fully bugged.'

Amidst this lockdown I don't think I can find any customer care.

Ahh..!

I left the phone to get the spare charger..

I looked around the house to eat something. My mother was watching T.V.. Sister was busy 
with Phone..

I look inside fridge took out the butter and spread it on the bread..
Damn why keep the butter in the fridge. It get hard.
I would like to say it loud but I hesitate I'll be scowled.

I went back to my room.. It is small with a bed and a table with books stacked up on one another and clothes hanged on the walls.

No wardrobe.

It just like living in a Storage room.

But still the smaller the room..The comfortable I feel.. Things are most of the time at my hands reach which truly makes an Ideal lazy life.

I look at the phone and a notification popped up.

Limited time free Game.!
Download Now and Play to win Rewards.

I look at the Ad in my notification bar and clicked to see what kind of rewards program it speaks about.

I look at the App. The price was at around 99 GC  but it was free for now.

I saw the price and feel like it is a scam or a virus implanting methods.

People nowadays would download weird Apps and their personal information are leaked and all their information get revealed to the one behind the scene.

After that calls would keep on coming disturbing the victim. Telling they won a lottery, or other various methods. Some would be hook.

In this country, People are too naive.. Money does lead people to destruction.

I look at the app description and saw that it provide game coupon code.. 
I saw this and had second thoughts.

If I get this I can buy the skins and flex or just sell the code to others.. Hahaha.

I look at the app and tapped download. I did not need to worry about my personal information as I don't even have those recorded here.. And if they call me and if  its an unknown number I'll just block it.

How much can they persist right. 

If you don't give them an opportunity they won't even be able to scam you.

I looked at the download bar it went to 2% then straight to 100%

I just felt that the game was not even fully downloaded. It just went from 2 to 100 in a matter of seconds.

Maybe I need to download the additional files first then it will show its original size.

Ron opened the game and saw the loading screen. It took more than 10 minutes to open the game.

I had the patience because of playing PUBG. Well In last zone it is who has the most patience can survive so I had build up. But 10 minutes was still the most I could hold on.

A game screen showed up showing the title card. 
Rules of the Apocalypse World.
          Tap to continue
I touched my screen and it took me to a menu.

It told me to give it permission to open the camera so It can take my face picture.

My picture was taken and I was shown the character Interface.

 I'm impressed waiting for 10 minutes. This character Interface is so realistic ..
'Ahahahah, My face... Woah , that body.. Quite the nice build. Let me morph my face to suit it.'

Seems I look quite pleasing with that kind of body. I would sign-up for gym soon after this lockdown.

The character Interface is showing me in a  empty Room with a whit background.

I was in love with interface and was looking forward to playing this game.

I equipped my character with a black suit from Hitman. Except for not having a bald head.

There were sets of other clothes but they had to be paid with in-game currency known as ZP which I had none. Some free dresses were there so I picked this black suit.

Now let's see the weapon rack..
I look at the weapon selection screen and there was only a crowbar and a baseball bat.
The others were locked and had to be paid.

I reluctantly picked the crowbar and went for gene formula section. 

The description says that these are gene formulas. One could buy the recipe but had to collect the ingredients himself and make it.
 Only one recipe was free  while other had to bought with GC.. I had my confusion as to what GC was but It seems it had its own other system of currency.

After selecting the basic gene enhancing Formula I pressed start.

The Tutorial started playing...I looked at it the graphics were decent..I had no interest and skipped it.

I will see it when I am bored of playing.

The loading screen showed up and I saw the gameplay trailer.

Damn what kind of engine does this work on.

The zombies look so realistic. Even those zombie movies CGI would fail with this game one..

The Loading screen disappeared and some terminal screen showed up in the display.

Log.
Day 1

Saving file ...Check point save...

Loading Save file...

I got excited waiting for the game the next second the screen went black and I got confused..
Where is the promised gameplay....
What a bore... Seems the game crashed.. I dropped the phone on my bed and look at the ceiling...

The ceiling had a filament tube which made me confused for time being..

Was there a filament here in my room.

I jerked up to look left and right and I was shocked to see my surrounding fully changed.

This not not the scene which he had seen a hundred times in a day but it was a lot different. I looked around truly Panicked thinking what happened and then out of a blue a blue screen popped out in front of my vision.

Basic Task.
Collect Edible supplies from the Hotel to survive for a day.

Progress: 0/1

Failure Penalty: Debuff 40% of Host Ability for 24 Hours.
...

I was startled with the things happening around me. I looked at the blue screen.

' Have I acquired Some cheat system or something.'

I sit down to think what was the cause of this.  I look at the Phone at the bed picked it up  but it did not Switch On.

I sit down to organise my Thoughts calmly.

Be calm and thing will be fine.

.
GC: Game Coins.

ZP: Zombie Points.

I didn't Wish for it yet it happened.

Will I be alive or dead.?

I don't even know if it's the God or Devil who is so bored they are playing with me.

I am in Confusion .

I tread on Corpses, Irons, steels, Deserts and so many other place yet I could not find the reason why I am doing this.

Is it because of my heart to conquer what others deemed Impossible or Immoral.

Or is it just to satisfy my heart of a Gamer.
...
...
...
I would love if I can continue a lot of it but I need Motivation for this.

What'll Motivate me is your Views and if you read it and enjoy it.

What would a chef would love to see in the customer !
It is the face they make when they enjoy the food.

It's the same for me.

Except that I don't Cook but write stories.

Sitting on his cushion, Gu Qing Shan was fully focused on settling his cultivation.

Once a karmic adversity had passed, a cultivator's realm would automatically increase, this was quite a miraculous period of time during a cultivator's life.

Like a tsunami, his spirit energy was increasing in irregular leaps and bounds, manifesting more and more in his body, but Gu Qing Shan had to think of a way to make this increase stable and constant, otherwise, the excess spirit energy would damage his acupoints.

He guided the spirit energy tsunami inside his body towards his Dantian and slowly formed a spiral inside it to slow down the speed of the flow.

This was an intricate task, but it would greatly reduce the strain that the wild spirit energy put on his body.

A day later.

Gu Qing Shan finally opened his eyes.

He was now a Tribulation realm late-stage cultivator.

This time, because he didn't cultivate sword arts alone but together with martial arts, archery, Blade arts, and various others, all of his bodily attributes received an improvement.

Which was an unexpected pleasant surprise.

All of a sudden, a blinking icon in his vision caught Gu Qing Shan's attention.

One of the icons below the War God UI was blinking.

It was the [War God Title]

Finding that a bit unexpected, Gu Qing Shan tried selecting it.

Lines of glowing text quickly appeared from the [War God Title] icon.

[You've reached the lowest cultivation requirement for unlocking a new title]
[Because you've become the Shen Wei General of the cultivation world and your cultivation has reached Tribulation realm late stage, your title: 'You Ji General' has been overwritten]
[You can now use the new title: Shen Wei General]
[Title: Shen Wei General (note: You Ji General and Xiao Qi Chaplain titles have been overwritten)]
[Note: This is the highest rank of General in humanity's allied army]
[Equipping this title, you gain the unique Skill: Quick Attack (Advanced)]
[Quick Attack (Advanced): the user's attack speed is increased by 20%]

Looking at his unexpected new title, Gu Qing Shan was grinning.

Previously, the [You Ji General] title gave him an extra 15% attack speed, now the [Shen Wei General] title will give him 20%.

A whopping 20%!

His swordsmanship mainly relied on speed to win, so an increase of 20% was like giving wings to a tiger.

------no, not just his swordsmanship alone.

Martial arts, Blade arts, Archery, this title would support all of these as well.

This is terrific.

Gu Qing Shan equipped the [Shen Wei General] title, took out the Chao Yin sword, and took a stance.

He swung his sword.

The cold gleam flashed by.

"Ah?"

Gu Qing Shan scowled unexpectedly.

He found that his attack speed had indeed been increased, to the point that he was almost unable to control his sword stance.


This speed is… a bit too much.

Gu Qing Shan carefully considered it before nodding in confirmation.

A sword cultivator that was unable to control their sword was a hazard to themselves more than anyone else.

Gu Qing Shan's attitude became serious.

He stood straight up and began to practice as he did in the past.

He started with the most basic sword techniques, then coordinated strikes, then a full show of his sword styles, then Secret Arts, and finally a sword array.

Through each step, Gu Qing Shan was slowly getting used to the change in speed.

After practicing for two hours straight, he gradually adapted to the speed of his attacks with the reinforcement of the [Shen Wei General] title.

He put the Chao Yin sword away, sat back down on his cushion and rested.

Only now did he have some time to carefully think about what happened during this time's karmic adversity.

But no matter how much he thought, Gu Qing Shan couldn't figure it out at all.

Strange…
Why did the karmic adversity end in such a simple way?
From start to end, I only got hit by those people a single time.
And even that attack was blocked by my armor, so I didn't get hurt at all.
------was that the entire adversity?
Or did I actually run into some sort of extremely dangerous situation that I didn't know about?

He carefully thought about it, slowly rewinding every detail of everything that happened so far.

With the process of elimination, Gu Qing Shan slowly got closer to the answer.

"Seems like the key factor was that tree…"

He muttered.

As soon as I saw the tree, I had already released my inner sight to check below the desert.
But I didn't sense anything.
If my karmic adversity really did come from that tree, the tree's power must have been far beyond my imagination.
Otherwise, it isn't simple to fool a cultivator's inner sight.
Then…
What exactly happened?

Recalling the little black scorpion that he saw after waking up from meditation, Gu Qing Shan realized something.

After a brief moment of silence, he remembered.

Putting his hand on the Inventory Bag, Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight inside.

The branch that the tree gave him was still silently sitting in his Inventory Bag.

It was a jet black sharp tree branch.

At the time, I was cautious so I used a manipulation seal to pick the tree branch up without touching it and stored it inside my Inventory Bag.
But now-----

At this point, it was because of his conjecture that he felt hesitant to touch the branch.

Gu Qing Shan lifted his hand away from the Inventory Bag and silently sighed.

He quickly made his decision.

-------although I don't know why it decided to leave me alone, but this time was just sheer luck.
I need to be a lot more careful from now on, I was too reckless earlier.
That branch should be more than enough to tell me the truth of this entire matter.
According to Wang Cheng's memories, there are some establishments within the black market that are responsible for appraising rare and mysterious items.
I'll just have them appraise the tree branch for me to confirm my suspicions.
Let's move.

Putting the cushion away, Gu Qing Shan swallowed another spirit energy replenishment pill.

He lightly leapt upwards, flew high in the sky, going past the clouds.

The higher he went, the weaker the sand storm would be.

Finally, Gu Qing Shan reached a point where sand filled the air.

Normally speaking, the higher you were the stronger the wind should be, but this world was the complete opposite, with the wind getting weaker the higher he went.

Gu Qing Shan's gaze extended far.

The entire world was covered by the wind and sand, reaching all the way to the horizon.

There wasn't a single spot where he couldn't see the sand storm.

Occasionally, some places could briefly be seen unaffected by the sand, but would soon be obscured again.

The only reason for that would be because some gigantic creatures or things were moving in the sand, briefly shifting it.

After confirming his direction, Gu Qing Shan turned into a streak of light that cut right across the horizon.
…
Five days later.

Gu Qing Shan finally reached his destination.

He appeared outside a small town, clearly worn out from the trip.

This small town in front of him should be the entrance to the black market, responsible for the verification and arrangement of those who wished to visit the black market.

Large and well-known organizations within the 900 million World Layers, as well as highly developed civilizations, would be allowed direct entry into the black market.

But anyone else who wishes to gain entry must go through a small admittance qualification test.

After a single second of hesitation, Gu Qing Shan decided not to reveal his identity as a member of the Justice Iron Fist Club.

Barry and Kitty are currently in his original world, and due to the transformation it was going through, they would temporarily be unable to leave.

Most if not all other Lord-class Combatants were heavily wounded in the war, currently protected inside Divine Power Frost Crystals and scattered around the Strife Zones.

It isn't smart to reveal my identity right now.

He sighed and walked to the entrance of the small town.

Quite a long queue was already formed here, waiting for their turn to go into town.

The entire line of people was neat and orderly, not to mention highly efficient as they silently moved along.

Everyone was polite and amiable, maintaining a certain level of etiquette.

-----but this wasn't because everyone here was reasonable and patient.

It was because along both sides of the path leading into town were countless severed heads stacked on top of each other, forming two long and tall walls.

The wall of heads stretched from the entrance of the town all the way to the vast desert outside.

These tens of thousands of heads all came from those who disobeyed the rules of the black market.

Under the scrutiny of the countless heads around them, everyone naturally learnt the manner of conduct in this place as soon as they could.

-------to enter the black market, there were two rules that everyone must follow:

No cutting in line.

And don't be noisy.

Aside from that, the other reason why everyone was maintaining silence was that most of these people were carrying a book with them.

Everyone lowered their gaze, silently focused on reading the books in their hands.

After some careful observation, Gu Qing Shan found that above the long queue of people all sorts of books would occasionally appear.

They will randomly linger above the heads of those standing in line, at the same time asking if those people would like to read them to kill some time.

This was free.

Because the owner of this black market wanted as many people who came here to understand this world as well as the market as thoroughly as they needed to.

Looking at those books, Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but sigh.

Unfortunately------ Wang Cheng didn't know how to read.
Otherwise, I would've known a lot more about the black market already.

At this time, a green-back book flew over his head and gently asked: [Sir, do you need my service?]

"A, yes, I want to know what kind of knowledge you contain" Gu Qing Shan respectfully asked.

[Recorded on me is the knowledge regarding the 5th destruction of this world, if you are interested, you may read now]

"I'm very interested, thank you"

[You're welcome, then shall we begin]

The book slowly fell into his hand and automatically turned the first page.

And so, while standing in line, Gu Qing Shan read about what happened during this world's 5th destruction.
