This Is My First Comic Distribution So I Hope You Guys Enjoy...And Feel Free to Tell Me If Something Is Wrong...The Cover Is Coming Soon

Who would thought that getting so much money in so little time was gonna be so fucking tiring? Next time I should put a clause over there to have a maximum set of money. But that would not work because that would destroy my god impostor disguised that I really liked. Since when a god cared about the money being asked right? Shit. Well, I would think a solution on the way. If the deal was too absurd I could simply cancel the <Life Dealer World> before signing it and make the client forget and search for a less demanding client.

I woke up in the morning. Dressed with the same cloths as yesterday. But since I'm on a 5-star casino, is like you live in your own little world. You have anything you would ever want, to make you stay longer and spend more money. Gyms, barbershops, spa, coffeehouse, and even a small mall. I went to the said mall and bought 5 pairs of good looking clothes and a thick black hoodie and a pair a cheap black sunglasses. Of course, I bought a travel bag to carry all of this to my room. I spent almost $800 dollars on this. Shit, I'm almost at my limit of the budget. I can't get lower of $10.000 to join the second floor. I currently had $10.140, yes I counted all on my bedroom and rolled on the bed with money like in the movies and had to gather them again. But...WORTH IT! 

Luckily if I join the second floor they have a free buffet bar. YAY! Free food 4 life son!

But before all that I left the $10.000 in the safe of my room, yes I know the cleaning staff has a master key to all of this safes but I couldn't carry $10k to the place I was going.

Yes, you guessed right. I was going back to get my driver license back! And not from the government again! I already past that stupid test! I mean for that stupid pawn shop.

I arrived at the shop and asked for my license back, they smiled and made me pay $60 dollars and gave them to me and polite bide me out of the store.

Well, that was anticlimactic. I was prepared to go on a full head-on verbal and curse war to only receive professionalism. Jesus fuck, maybe my luck was acting again. I remember when I was a teen I pawned my favorite comic book for $15 to go to the movies with my bros and kept my lunch money for a week eating only cafeteria free bread to exchange for the comic book without my parents noticing it. The perfect crime.

The problem was that the comic book was pretty rare and I got scammed pretty bad. They asked me the retail value of the comic book, not the amount of I pawned it from. Since It was mine but I was a minor we were both at wrong but they have the upper ground. 

So I grinded my teeth and begged my parents. After a huge beat up they bought my comic book at the inflated price while remaining me to stay away from those places.

Oh, sweet summer beating memories. Wonder where that bastard father is up now? Maybe enjoying his parent free responsibilities on the Caribbean sea making that fake pirate accent that he used to make.
...
Concentrate! Not use to remember that now!
...
I returned to my temporal home, the mighty Pegasus Casino. I went to my room, counted the money, checking that it was all there and thanking the cleaning ladies didn't even bother to check the safety of the cheapest safe of the casino. I was feeling pretty lucky already and went on my way to my free lunch. I mean my free money. I mean my fierce competition yet!

I arrived with my black-hood and cheap sunglasses and looked like one of the other guys. Yes! Nailed it! I was going to go to the table when a security guy stopped me and derived me to the nearest cash chip stations. Oh silly me, they don't handle real money on the table, this was not a dramatic TV show! So after I exchanged $10.000 dollars worth of chip to a slutty cashier giving me wicks per word I said, I rushed to the free buffet while holding my bag of chips.

Sure it doesn't look good to see a guy carrying $10k of chips refilling 3 times his plate. But in my defense, I didn't had dinner last night, didn't had breakfast and didn't have lunch. So...that makes 3, totally making sense to eat I kept nodding to myself, praising me for being so intelligent. Maybe I would even gain one Int stat thinking like this?

I was joking checking my [Stats] while I said that. But my intelligence did actually go up! Obviously not for that terrible excuse to eat 3 free plates of food... I mean a genius idea!

If this doesn't have a limit and I gain sufficient years I could possibly be the smartest guy on Earth! 
*heavy breathing*

No, this system can't be that broken. From the golden coin quest, it seems that I'm currently LV1 so it most possible means that I have a cap of growing stats per level. Like 5 or 10 per level. That would be the correct assumption.

Quickly checking if I gained a stat for that hypothesis I became frustrated when It didn't.
Well, fuck you too system!
While I was thinking all that a rude voice interrupted my thoughts and said "Are you a beggar that a rich man took pity of you and lent $10.000 just to eat for free? HAHA!!"

What could you do with the possibility of living forever? Would you refuse it and just die? Would you accept it and became evil or a merciful God? Of course, no deal is made to be fair. Join Fergal Parker in his adventures to explore his new ability!

On the second floor of the UDX Building, Akihabara Square lounge.
While Kimura Kazuki was immersed in his thoughts, Muraoka Hiroshi nodded his head and bowed deeply, his mobile phone clutched to his ear. "I will… Rest assured, president, there won't be any problems at this time's comic exhibition. You have my word. Don't worry, it will definitely be a wrap, and the propagation for 'The Sword Saga' will also appear on the itinerary!"
As he set his phone down, Muraoka Hiroshi's facial expression turned grim. He could not help from screaming, "Unbelievable! Yuma Sugawara is such an untrustworthy person. He agreed to come over today, but all he did was try to dismiss me with one sorry excuse?"
Today's comic exhibition at Akihabara Square was organized by the Seiki Association, and the reason it had free admissions was due to "The Sword Saga." The Seiki Association was a company newly established not more than a year ago, and their main goal was to dive into light novels. "The Sword Saga" was the Seiki Association's very first work to be converted into a comic and animated; moreover, it was also the first runner-up of the 18th Annual "This Light Novel Is Amazing" Competition.
Although the reputation of the "This Light Novel Is Amazing" Competition had fallen in recent years and had been deliberately renamed by netizens and readers as "This Shadiness Is Amazing," or "This Newbie Is Amazing" and so on… But the "This Light Novel Is Amazing" Competition remained famous within Japan when it came to the industrial sector and readers.
As "The Sword Saga" was awarded the first runner-up for the annual competition, it was naturally considered a popular piece of work. Last year's project to convert the novel into a comic had already been completed, receiving a whole lot of warm responses. This year's animation plan had already been put on the agenda and was expected to premiere in July.
This time, the complementary comic exhibition was obviously for "The Sword Saga," as a pre-release promotional event. Muraoka Hiroshi had initially been planning to hold a Kendo competition onstage. Intending to promote "The Sword Saga" with the utmost effort, he had invited Yuma Sugawara of the Sugawara family and Ono Nakamura of the Ono family. 
The two of them were within the top 10 candidates in the under 18 categories in last year's Asahi Kendo Competition and were widely known in the Kendo field. They were no strangers to anyone who understood Kendo.
However, that Yuma Sugawara fellow ended up backing out. If he had been given an earlier notice, he would not have been this livid… The guy had just called to inform him that he could not make it right after the event had started.
In his anxious state of mind, he dialed the president's phone number to ask if he was acquainted with any other Kendo experts. Still, the sharp, observant president had quickly picked up on the situation at hand and scolded him till there was not a single scrap of dignity left in him. He was extremely fed up from this, and being unable to vent did not help.
"Brother-in-law… that kid Sugawara must have had his reasons, he had sent me a text message on my phone and told me that it was his grandfather who prohibited him from coming. It was unacceptable for a swordsman to go out and about showing off in public, so he put him on house confinement," Ono Nakamura was seated on the couch, a bottle of coke in his left hand and his phone in the other as he checked his messages.
"What era is it now? There are still people who think swordsmen can't show up in public!" Muraoka Hiroshi raised his phone to his face and saw that he had just received a similar message from Yuma Sugawara. The redness in his face slightly faded. After all, he had an actual reason. It was better than no apparent reason at all. Furthermore, Yuma Sugawara's absence was a factor outside of his control. In thought, he indignantly huffed, "Then isn't Yuma Sugawara considered showing up in public when he participates in competitions?"
"The Asahi Kendo Competition is different," Ono Nakamura softly remarked. "Plus, if you weren't my brother-in-law, I wouldn't have come either. Father had always taught me that swordsmanship is equivalent to killing, and once a sword is unsheathed, blood must be shed! To use it in performance…" Before he could finish, he saw his brother-in-law toss him a dirty look, making him halt his train of thought and let out a sinister chuckle, a harmless dash of evil swirling in his eyes. He said no more.
"Have you ever killed a chicken when you were younger?" Muraoka Hiroshi said disdainfully. "And you still say 'swordsmanship is equivalent to killing'... Why didn't you all put your real swords to use in competitions? Why didn't I see any bloodshed in the Asahi Kendo Competition? Your father possesses an ancient mindset, and you're following in his footsteps?"
Ono Nakamura kept his words at the back of his throat. When it came to witty replies, he could never beat his brother-in-law in arguing. Besides, he also felt that there was some truth in what he said.
Faced with Ono Nakamura's silence, Muraoka Hiroshi also plopped down onto the couch, pulling a long face, "Do you know anyone who can rush over right now…"
"Brother-in-law, you already asked once earlier. Even if they are free, isn't your event about to start… Time is too tight on hand."
"Is that so…" Muraoka Hiroshi rubbed the back of his head with force, it seemed like he was starting to panic. He glanced at the time and mentally noted that he only had 10 minutes to spare. Thinking, he gritted his teeth. "Ono, you must do me this favor as my brother-in-law."
Following that, Muraoka Hiroshi described his plan to a flustered Ono Nakamura, whose irises immediately erupted with alarm. "No… How can I cheat? Brother-in-law, you clearly said that I am here to compete with Yuma Sugawara…"
"Sigh… If you don't agree, I'm probably going to get fired by the president. I'm already in my thirties, if I lose my job now, I most probably won't be able to find another one. If I don't have a job, Yuki will have to live on the streets with me… Sigh, and your poor four-year-old nephew…"
Ono Nakamura was speechless.
Finally, Ono Nakamura ended up giving in to the plan. He could only silently hope that his father would never find out about this matter.
10 minutes later, Muraoka Hiroshi stood underneath the enormous exhibition stage, taking in the view of an ocean of people underneath him. He thought to himself, "The Sword Saga" sure has an astounding level of popularity, I can't be the one to destroy its reputation and let down all these people.
"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to the comic exhibition held by the Seiki Association…" Although Muraoka Hiroshi talked on and on, his voice was just the right pace, not too quick or too slow. This had successfully attracted a sea of people to him.
Of course, the main reason was due to the large banner extending across the exhibition stage.
Peak Kendo Showdown! Winners will receive a prize of 150,000 yen. It read.
The banner had just been hung up, so a handful of curious people directly moved over to have a look at it right after spotting it. It was rare for a Kendo competition to be held at a comic exhibition.
"…As you already know, 'The Sword Saga' describes a light novel set in a war era, about how each of the valuable weapons was passed down to modern times, where they became human bodies with the help of magical powers, who then declared war on each other in the city. All the weapons held different beliefs in faith - some fought for the people, some fought for their organization, while others fought for their beliefs… This is the exact reason behind the success of 'The Sword Saga.'
"Now, the Seiki Association is working on the production of the animated version of 'The Sword Saga,' and it will be released to the public in July. This time's comic exhibition is to promote the pre-release, so we also managed to invite Ono Nakamura, who had proudly secured the eighth position in the under-18 category in last year's Asahi Kendo Competition. He will serve as the master of the ring, and you all shall be the challengers. Whoever defeats Ono Nakamura on stage will receive a prize of 150,000 yen!"
Following closely after the last syllable of Muraoka Hiroshi's lengthy speech, Ono Nakamura swiftly climbed onto the stage.
"Is... he cosplaying Muramasa?"
"He looks exactly like him, and he's so handsome!"
"I give this cosplay full marks. The host said he has a rank in some kendo competition?"
"Seems like this trip was worth it!"
It was undeniable that Ono Nakamura upheld the incredible image. Donning a black and white kendo uniform, with its full sleeves swaying elegantly behind him with his every move, he had on a high-quality wig, its silky black hair flowed and hung delicately just below his broad shoulders. Bamboo sword in hand, he easily emitted a warm, gentlemanly, jade-like vibe by merely standing at the center of the exhibition stage.
But because Sengo Muramasa was symbolized as "bad luck," Ono Nakamura's vibes topped with the infamous reputation of Sengo perfectly pulled off the contradictory sensation of Muramasa in the novel.
In a fleeting moment, camera shutters sounded throughout the room. Some teenage girls were heard squealing, obviously lost in Ono Nakamura's hotness.
Watching from aside, Muraoka Hiroshi brought the microphone to his lips. Voice trembling with evident excitement, he began, "So… who wants to be the first to come on stage for the challenge?"
Muraoka Hiroshi had barely finished speaking…
"I will."


Time travelling from the majestic era after the Recuperation of Reiki, he became Kimura Kazuki, a 16-year-old high school student in Japan, one year before the Reiki Recuperation.

Tentatively, he set out to hone himself to the bone, burning candles at both ends to stockpile resources in preparation for the imminent Recuperation of Reiki. His goal was to be many steps ahead of all humanity when the time comes.

However, it seemed like fate had decided to play a cruel trick on him.

One year later, the Recuperation of Reiki... did not happen as expected.

"Kodansha Comics?"
Meng Fan didn't know much Japanese, but he could read most of the words on the business card Goro Takahashi gave him. Mr. Takahashi was an editor at Kodansha Comics. Given the style of the business card, he wasn't an average editor either.
This was a pleasant surprise for Meng Fan!
Before and after he was reborn, his sisters sponsored him with many gifts on this trip. Before the rebirth, he was most interested in CV concerts and "meet and greets." Now, he was more interested in visiting Shueisha Comics and meeting the comic artist Eiichiro Oda.
Of course, before the rebirth, he also loved manga and would have liked to visit Shueisha Comics and meet Eiichiro Oda. The visit, however, would just have been a regular visit.
Now, the purpose of his visit would be different.
If he was rewriting his life, what would he need?
Manga would undoubtedly be a big part of his new life!
He didn't realize one of the hostages was an editor, and a senior one at that, from a comics publisher. This was fantastic news for Meng Fan.
Perhaps it was Good Luck +1 in effect? It was a big coincidence.
Kodansha Comics was one of Japan's three largest comic publishers. The other two are Shueisha Comics and Shogakukan Comics. Together, the three manga publishers are known as the Gosanke.
Most of the Japanese comics popular with fans worldwide came from these three manga publishers.
Kodansha Comics is known as an advancing giant in the industry.
The publisher with the longest history, Kodansha Comics, is regarded as the boss of publishers (not just comics) in Japan. It has serialized "Attack on Titan,""GetBackers,""Fairy Tail,""Initial D,""Legend of the Dragon's Son,""Vagabond,""Ghost in the Shell,""The Three-Eyed One,""SM,""Card Captor,""The Tales of Genji,""Parasyte," and other well-known mangas.
Shogakukan Comics is a publisher known for comics for kids and teens.
As one of the largest comprehensive publishers in Japan, Shogakukan Comics focused on elementary school students as its audience early on. Based on the names of its comics, it's obvious that it has published many children's classics, some of which had even mesmerized grown ups, including: "Case Closed,""Pokémon,""Doraemon,""Urusei Yatsura,""Ranma ½,""Inuyasha," and many more.
Shueisha Comics is a publisher with some of the most talented comic artists in the industry.
Shueisha Comics publishes many comic magazines for teens, the most well-known of which is Weekly Shōnen Jump, which has the highest circulation in Japan's serialized comics. The magazine has released plenty of hits such as "One Piece,""Naruto,""Bleach,""Gin Tama,""Dragon Ball,""Yu-Gi-Oh!""Saint Seiya,""Slam Dunk,""Chibi Maruko-chan,""Food Wars!" and so on.
Other comic houses within Shueisha Comics have released legendary comics including: "To Love Ru,""One Punch Man,""Tokyo Ghoul,""The Prince of Tennis,""NANA," and more.
The number of comic classics published and serialized by Shueisha Comics is simply countless.
Shueisha Comics was founded last among the three legendary publishers. In the beginning, it was an entertainment magazine under Shogakukan Comics; now, it holds its own in the industry.
Most comic artists hope to have a chance to serialize their work in a Shueisha Comics magazine, including many Chinese comic artists, Meng Fan among them. This is true despite the shrinking comics market in Japan in recent years.　　
This is just like how, for most actors, their dream is to be a movie star in Hollywood — including most Chinese actors such as Meng Caiwei — even though China is now the world's largest movie market.
That's not to say that without being serialized in Japan or entering Hollywood, one would give up on the Chinese market.
Meng Fan put away the business card, his face showing happiness. He smiled at Goro Takahashi. "To be honest, I'm a college student majoring in comics. I actually have a series right now. One of my goals for this trip has to do with comics. I can't believe I get to meet one of the trailblazers of the industry today, I'm so honored."
Goro Takahashi looked surprised after he heard the translation from En'en's dad. The reason he introduced himself: young people like Meng Fan were usually comic fans, so he figured maybe he could thank Meng Fan in this way. He had no idea Meng Fan was studying comics and a comic artist as well.
After Goro Takahashi shook hands again with Meng Fan, he said, "M-san, please, allow me to take you on a tour of Kodansha Comics." 
"Absolutely. It would be my honor."
The two of them exchanged their contact information and made a date to meet again.
As he walked out, Meng Fan received at least fifty more business cards!
There were maybe even more than fifty, as they all came from the passengers on the flight, mixed in with numbers from several flight attendants.
While people knew it was unlikely Meng Fan would keep in touch with them, they clamored to leave him their contact information. It wasn't because they wanted to copy others, they just really wanted to befriend a legendary person like Meng Fan.
Based on the names on the business cards, most of them were Japanese, some were expats in Japan, and a few were Chinese. It was not an exaggeration to say that if Meng Fan had thick skin, he could eat and play for free for the next three to six months in Japan. He would have a great time too, since people traveling from Singapore to Japan were usually pretty successful.
Just like En'en's dad, after Meng Fan chatted with him after they got in the car leaving the airport, he learned the older man dealt in real estate, red wine, and soy sauce, but he wasn't a real estate developer.
The biggest coincidence was when Meng Fan realized they were from Hangzhou, too. He almost swore when he heard their home was near his school!
It was a good thing they weren't from the same district, just a nearby one; otherwise, it would be too much of a coincidence. 
When En'en learned Meng Fan studied near her house, she was even more excited. She wanted to go back to China with him, leaving her parents chagrined.
When their car entered the financial district of Otemachi, it stopped briefly at the Aman Kyoto Hotel, part of Otemachi-Tower.
Meng Fan and En'en made sure to meet again, then he left under En'en's reluctant gaze, carrying his suitcase.
The Aman Kyoto Hotel wasn't an entire building; it was in fact located on the top six floors of the Otemachi-Tower. The hotel lobby was on the 33rd floor, making the hotel rooms even higher. Because of this, the Aman Kyoto Hotel was known as "a luxury above the city."
As soon as Meng Fan entered the elevator, his phone rang. It was from Wu Tong.
"Are you in Japan?"
"Yes, I just got to the hotel."
"How long are you staying?"
"Two or three days?"
"You're not coming back earlier?"
"If I got everything done with the manga, I would go back earlier. Why, you miss me or worry about me?"
"So you do know!"
Wu Tong did sound a little displeased, but it was mostly worrying. Then she said, "Seventh Bro is taking his team to Kyoto today. When he gets there, you can head out and have him follow you, or have someone follow you."


To reward Meng Fan for his bravery before his heroic death, the cosmos rewarded him with a 'system', sending him back in time to three months ago, alive.

Earlier that day…
"Do you think Ara will be alright?" Rin asked Midori as they entered the elevator taking them to Midori's cousin's office on the twelfth floor.
The two of them were in one of the many tall buildings on Otome Road, a huge area of Ikebukuro in Tokyo that was a major shopping and cultural center for animation and comics. It's located in the immediate West of Sunshine City near Ikebukuro Station.
This area in Tokyo had been a must-g-to place for all anime and comic geeks since the 1980s. A branch of a very popular anime store Animate was there, and most of the comic conventions and manga revolutions were held there.
It was natural for the place to be swarmed by people in costumes at a daily basis. In fact, not to see cosplayers walking around would be strange. It was also natural for the area to be where popular comic publishing companies had their main offices such as where they were now.
After they made Ara go back home, Midori and Rin volunteered to take the finished manuscript to this office. They had asked Miharu if she wanted to join them, but she couldn't because her mother wanted to go out shopping with her.
"I hope so," Midori answered.
The two of them knew that their friend had been through a lot – like totally a lot, and they were worried about her. But they had enough self-awareness that some problems could only be resolved by the people themselves. They could only be there, ready to lend a helping hand when asked or be present when needed, but they couldn't do anything else.
It's not as if Ara was having a normal girl's problem. To say that her concerns were out of this world was not entirely untrue.
Gods and demigods.
Who would have thought that they would meet them in real life? Never in their wildest dream had they ever imagined they'd experience something like this. But they also knew that they were blessed, not just because they encountered heavenly beings but they were able to be friends with them in this lifetime.
"I feel sorry for her and Kou. I know they have so many issues between them, but I want my ship to be alright again," Rin muttered sadly, and Midori reached out and gave her a gentle pat on the back.
"They will be," Midori told her.
She had no idea where her confidence to answer the question came from, but she just believed deep within her heart that it would be the case. Just what her and the others' reactions were when they heard the story of Alencica and Kresnik, she just would like to believe that a love like that could not just fade away.
Ara might be hurt, but they knew that she understood why things happened as they did. Even if Kresnik and the others had faults, they knew that they loved her and never meant to hurt her and she knew that too. It was why the discovery of the truth hurt everyone and not just Ara.
"Things like this take time. But I'm sure, the two of them will be together again in the end," Midori told Rin who cheered up a bit.
The elevator stopped and the two of them stepped out as they continued to chat.
"Anyway, do you think Ara will still want to be a comic artist?" Rin asked again as she scanned their friend's work from the folder. "It would be a pity if she doesn't. Look at these, they're so good."
The real-life drawings in full color popped from the pages, and Rin who's a hardcore geek couldn't help but fangirl over them.
"Well, it's really up to Ara. But of course, it will be awesome if she can," Midori said hopefully, although she knew that it wouldn't be good to think this way also.
Ara was not from their world. Kazehaya Gin had also told them about Ged, and that Ara was a princess there. Also, her father who was the King of Heaven was waiting for Ara on the other side. There's a big possibility that she would choose to go back to her own world. It would be selfish of them to impose their own wishes on her.
It would be sad if Ara chose to return to Ged. But Midori and the others had already discussed this and decided that regardless of what Ara would do and where she would choose to stay, they would never protest and just keep supporting her.
It was what friendship with her meant.
"By the way," Rin began as she frowned at the group sketch that Ara did. "Isn't Ara's name in Ged, Alinea?"
Midori nodded. "Why did you ask?"
"Because…" Rin's voice trailed off as she showed the drawing to Midori who suddenly stopped walking as she took the sketchbook from Rin with a dumbfounded expression.
They both stared at the group picture and then they exchanged looks of wonder as if to say "Could it be?"
They studied each and every person in Ara's sketchbook.
"Oh. My. God."
They reached a page they hadn't seen before at the back, and saw a colored portrait of two people; one of them was someone who looked like the older prince but had different coloration and aura. The man was a true beauty that gave off a very mysterious air about him. The other person next to the silver-haired man was the red-head warrior Ara drew before: Ivan of Kres.
"Is this really a comic book, or real portraits of people from that other world?" Rin asked in awe.
"I think… they're real people – people that she missed and thought she'd never see again from that world," Midori answered quietly, and the both of them felt a bit teary-eyed imagining how Ara must have felt as she drew them.
"If they're real, then I wish she could meet them again," Rin uttered as she placed an arm around Midori's shoulders to comfort her.
They brought the manuscript to Midori's cousin who thanked them a lot. However, since Ara was still unsure about the future, the editor promised not to show anyone the work for now and would wait for Ara's answer patiently.
"No problem. Please tell Ara she can take her time deciding. It's her future after all," Midori's cousin assured them before handing them some coupons.
"What's this?"
"There's a newly opened Cat Café three streets from here. They gave these coupons. You'd get one cake free when you buy a drink," he said before saying goodbye.
Afterwards, the two of them left the building and went straight to the café. Both Rin and Midori didn't have anything else to do and they still didn't want to go home, so they decided to go there.  
"It's a good thing Hiroaki's not here. I don't think we can come here if he is. He'll complain it's not manly," Midori laughed as soon as they were served with their drinks and a free slice of cake.
However, instead of laughing with her, Rin suddenly sat up straight with a shocked expression on her face, alarming her. "What happened?" she asked as she turned around to see what made her freeze like that.
A very tall red-head man with a pair of familiar jade-green eyes, wearing silver armor walked in the café with a bunch of cosplayers. Rin and Midori couldn't help but gasp as the man crossed the room to sit by the table next to them.
It's the man in Ara's sketchbook, in the flesh.
The two girls thought they were dreaming but they were not. They continued to watch the man and listen to his strange conversation with the others. It seemed he was totally confused about this world, and a suspicion formed in their minds.
Unable to take it anymore, Rin stood up and approached. "Are you Ivan of Kres?"
Of course, when they heard the answer, the two of them knew that fate played a trick on them again, introducing another person from that other place.
"Yes, I am the Flame Emperor, Ivan of Kres…"


She was the Princess who had to die…

Alinea, beloved Princess of Ritz, and celebrated heroine of the recently concluded Immortal War was betrayed and killed for political reasons.  However, death did not come. She found herself waking up in modern-day Tokyo, in the body of a girl, named, Suzuki Ara, the most hated antagonist of all.  

He was the Prince who had to live…

Homura Ryuu, heir of the most influential family in Japan was forced to be engaged to Ara since birth, due to a family curse. He could only marry and have children with the woman mentioned in the prophecy, else his bloodline would die out. 

Fated…

The Prince and Princess from different worlds, where revenge, hatred, conspiracy and strive for power prevailed, found each other in the most unexpected turn of events.  Was this a coincidence? Maybe not. For two souls destined for each other meet regardless of time and circumstance. It's called fate...

=============================
Ara elbowed Ryuu in the rib. "Darling, you are scaring the people away. Learn how to smile."

"Darling, if I smile, they will totally forget why they exist," Ryuu countered smugly, so Ara had no choice but to sigh in defeat. There's no sense making sense with this stubborn husky anyway.

Well, he kind of had a point anyway…

Ara looked towards the nurse's station where nurses kept bumping into each other or hitting the tables and making things fall because they were busy giving Ryuu demure glances.

"See? They get distracted like that with me not smiling – what more if I do?"Ryuu told her with amusement in his voice. Then again, mischief danced in his blue gaze and he finally sent one bright smile the nurses' way.

CRASH!

BANG!

Ara watched as chaos ensued in the station and she quickly pulled the naughty husky to the side and gave him a glare.

"What? Who told me to smile?" he asked her innocently.

"I did okay? It's my fault," Ara told him as she dragged him away.

After class, the math teacher flew into a rage in the office and yelled at Bai Ziyue, "The students in your class are incorrigible! There's nothing I can do about them!"
Bai Ziyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Next to her, Tang Yijun chuckled. "If I remember it right, both Su Xiaomo and He Jiayu have good grades, right?"
"Yes."
"Let them sit together, then. He Jiayu will be able to keep an eye on Su Xiaomo," Tang Yijun suggested.
"Good idea!" Bai Ziyue clapped her hands.
Even the math teacher's beard was shaking with anger now.
That was outrageous! Aww!
Bai Ziyue went to the classroom to tell them about the change in seating. He Jiayu switched places with Kang Jian as arranged, but Su Xiaomo had been reading a comic book under the desk. She didn't even notice Bai Ziyue come in, let alone the fact that she had a new deskmate.
She cried out in excitement at a twist in the plot. "Aah! They're finally sleeping together! I'm so content! I can relive that moment for ten years!"
He Jiayu took a look and blushed.
Was she reading… an X-rated comic… 
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. The top has an Apollo's belt and abs. One, two, three, four, five… all eight of them! I'd like to feel them myself! Come over here. Let me feel yours." Su Xiaomo was as unrestrained as ever. Her gaze still on the page, she reached out her hand to her left… 
As an athletic student, Kang Jian had well-toned muscles. Since he wasn't her match in a fight, Su Xiaomo had her way with him all the time.
He Jiayu pursed his lips and stopped her hand.
"Why, you're shy now? We used to take baths together when we were little!" Su Xiaomo grinned. "Kang Jian, have you lost your abs from eating too much lately?"
When she turned around and met He Jiayu's gaze, the look on her face turned very interesting.
WTF?
Shit!
"Ahem! Sorry, I thought you were someone else…" Su Xiaomo chuckled awkwardly and tried to free herself from He Jiayu's grip. "Dude, we can talk about this. There's no need to get physical!"
He Jiayu blushed and let go of her hand.
"The next class is starting soon," he reminded her.
"I see." Su Xiaomo nodded awkwardly. "Aren't you going back to your seat?"
He Jiayu raised an eyebrow. "Going back where?"
What?
Su Xiaomo turned around and saw that Kang Jian was sitting in He Jiayu's former seat and was having fun playing five-in-a-row with Chi Yuanfeng.
Su Xiaomo's mouth fell open. "Did you… switch seats with Kang Jian?"
"Yes." He Jiayu smiled. "What were you doing? Didn't you hear when Miss Bai came in to announce that?"
Su Xiaomo chuckled in embarrassment, putting her comic book out of sight.
"Well… it's time for class, let's study!" Su Xiaomo made a show of getting out her textbook, but her drawer was way too messy and it took her forever to find the book she needed for the next class. With a tug, a stack of colorful comic books fell out in a cascade.
Su Xiaomo: …!!
She went to pick them up in a hurry. A pair of slender, nice-looking hands reached out and helped her to pick up every single one of them.
He Jiayu sounded rather helpless. "What can I say… You're so clumsy."
He then rubbed her head. "Be a smart girl and hide your comics better next time. The dean will probably have a stroke if he sees them."
Su Xiaomo's heart raced; she had butterflies in her stomach, and her face turned scarlet… 
Was this what they called a "killer head rub" in romance comics?

Sheng Yize: I thought I was the nation’s idol???

Wednesday

Arriving at the hospital physiotherapy department before 9am , Anna was ushered into a room for an immediate twenty minute rehabilitation session.  The physiotherapist was already so happy with Anna's progress is just a few days.  She was already starting to gain some strength back in her leg, which in part was due to the luck that the break was a clean one that started to heal quickly.

On completing this appointment, they headed to the physician's office, where they were sent for multiple xrays and scans, before the appointment with both the physician and the obstetrician.  The physician, in reviewing the x-rays, scans and blood test results was quite happy with her progress, particularly in light of the brief report from the physiotherapist.

The Physician before leaving the room, said "CEO and Madam Hou, I will leave you in the hands of Madam Hou's obstetrician, but given the information I have been through with you, we will do one more follow-up set of scans and tests in three or four weeks time, as your recovery from your physical injuries is good."

"Actually could you make it four weeks?"

"Four weeks time then.  Assuming everything is OK at that time, we will then only need to do one more follow up set of test three month after that."

Once everyone else exited the room the obstetrician turned to them and said "I had to push them to extend the time for the scans and x-rays.  The more that they do, the higher the risks to your baby are, and this is a risky enough pregnancy given the injuries that you suffered Madam Hou.  Now, we will move to another room where we have an ultrasound machine for the first pictures of your baby.  We cannot tell you the sex, but we can see if there is anything to be concerned about from the assault."

With that Hou Yi helped Anna on to the crutches, and they followed the obstetrician down a corridor and into another room.  Hou Yi helped Anna onto the bed and having accompanied her sister and sisters-in-law to a number of these scans, knew what she needed to do and lifted her top, and lowered her pants to allow the ultrasound to easily be done.

The obstetrician turned ready to say something, but before he could say anything Anna said "I can see you look.  No this is my first pregnancy, but I have an older sister and sisters-in-law who I have accompanied to a number of ultrasounds during their pregnancies, so I know what you would want."

This drew a chuckle from the obstetrician, who then proceeded with the ultrasound.  Very soon Anna and Hou Yi heard a thumping in the room while being focused on the screen.  Hou Yi turned to the obstetrician, who immediately realised what the question was going to be "The heartbeat of your baby … no let me rephrase that it looks like babies.  It appears CEO and Madam Hou that you are having twins."

After focusing on the ultrasound carefully for a few more minutes, the obstetrician picked up a couple of tissues and wiped the ultrasound gel from Anna's stomach, before tossing them into a rubbish bin.

"CEO and Madam Hou, from the ultrasound you have appear to have one healthy twin who appears not to have suffered ill effects from the assault on you, but I am not certain on the other one at this time as they were more hidden from view.  I want to see you in two weeks for a review, and possibly an ultrasound.  But we will definitely be doing an ultrasound in four weeks, and hopefully we will have a response on whether the second baby has suffered as a result of the assault.  We may be able to determine the sex of the babies at that time, but there are no promises on that."

"While I hate to do frequent ultrasounds, given the assault about the time of your conception Madam Hou, we need to be careful and do more frequent scans and observations.  As to travel, you can fly both nationally and internationally as long as you break flights of more than four hours into legs.  Generally, I would say no international travel once you hit six months, but we will reassess this in the future."

"Now, I know that we frightened you when we first determined that you were pregnant about having no sexual intercourse."  With that the obstetrician looked at both Anna and Hou Yi who could not look him in the eye.  "We had to be careful given the potential risks to the pregnancy from the assault."

"However we will be rescinding this position, provided you are both careful.  Nothing to adventurous or risky in your sexual activity will be OK, nor should you over indulge.  I understand that you are still newlyweds, but you have two babies to think about.  Now, if you have questions, please feel free to contact me at any time and I will answer them."  Both Hou Yi and Anna started to redden at that comment.

"Sir, my wife is every morning suffering with morning sickness."

"Morning sickness is normal, but we need to be careful that it is not too severe or impacting you.  Before you leave, Madam Hou, I will have pathology take some blood tests to see if there is anything to worry about, and the day before your next appointment you need to come and have some more done.  But if it is getting worse, please come immediately to the Emergency Department and we will look further at the matter."

With that he reached down and picked up some photos handing them to Anna "And here are the first photos of your babies.  If you can wait in reception I will give you the blood test forms, and otherwise I will see you in a fortnight."
