Payton Kendall and J.D. Jameson are lawyers who know the meaning of objection. A feminist to the bone, Payton has fought hard to succeed in a profession dominated by men. Born wealthy, privileged, and cocky, J.D. has fought hard to ignore her. Face-to-face, they're perfectly civil. They have to be. For eight years they have kept a safe distance and tolerated each other as coworkers for one reason: to make partner at the firm.
...There are no rules.

But the increasingly hot connection does not last long when they discover that only one of them will be named partner. Now it's an all-out war. And the battle between the sexes is bound to make these lawyers hot under the collar...

For the first time in ages, Jack felt rested. On the last hunt, he allowed himself to rest for an hour or two before he woke Tong Huakun up and continued their trek. 

When he opened his eyes his brows furrowed and he scanned the room. Bright sunlight seeped in through the gaps in the leather flap and illuminated the empty house.

'Almost noon?' he thought and got out of his bed. After getting dressed, he went searching for answers. 

He found all of the former Gravediggers in the practice field, shooting distant rocks with their cylinders. 

"What's going on?" Jack asked when he saw that they noticed him.

Everyone turned towards him and gave him haphazard salutes with large grins on their faces. He sighed and returned the salute before repeating his question. 

Kuang Bindun stepped out and explained "We're practicing for the last competition. Have to earn those spirit stones back somehow." 

Jack grunted and said "That's good." He focused on Ma Ruiman and asked "And you? Shouldn't you have woken me up earlier?" 

Ma Ruiman glanced at the rest of the group and said "I thought you needed the rest. Besides, we can talk after the shooting practice with the White River family." 

Jack gave him a nod of understanding and ordered the group "Show me what you've got so far." 

He spent the rest of the time before the midday meal giving tips on improving the shooting skills of his men. 

Most of them could fire off a metal ball through a cylinder without issue and were deadly at short distances, but they couldn't make almost any shots longer than fifty meters hit. 

According to their story, the White River family members just got lucky and scored a few more long-distance shots than they did in the last competition. 

Jack had to explain the influence of wind, gravity, and the world's rotation on a bullet's path without going in too deep on the subjects so he wouldn't confuse his men. All they needed to know is how to correct for them at what times. 

During the midday meal, Bei Kangping and Wu Dianrong brought their men for practice. 

While Wu Dianrong stayed with the group and started their practice, Bei Kangping stomped over to Jack and growled in his face "Why did you not let Huakun treat her wound?! She will have to lie in bed for days to let it heal now." 

'So that's where she's been?' Jack thought and swallowed his food. 

"I didn't force her to do anything she didn't want to. She can take care of herself, but I'm sure that she told all of this to you before you came here or you would have visited me earlier and not when you had to leave for shooting practice." He said while he watched Bei Kangping's furious eyes turn a little sheepish. 

After giving an understanding nod to the handsome man, he added "Don't worry, I know how she gets. Just make sure that she takes enough time to rest and she'll be fine. I won't allow her to do anything stressful for a while." 

Bei Kangping blinked and glanced to the sides. He noticed the rest of the company eating around them and blanched. After clearing his throat, he said "Well, yes, thank you, do not do it again." and hurried back to his men. 

Jack hid a smile in his bowl and continued eating. 

He gave the White River family members similar tips that he gave his own men earlier, but he didn't go in depth why they should shoot in that way. 

The former Gravediggers looked at him in confusion at first, but their faces became focused on their shots once they realized that he wanted to make them push themselves if they wanted to win the last competition. 

After shooting practice, he told Ma Ruiman to bring his girl to his lab after dark and went to visit Wu Angrui. 

Her maid allowed him entrance to her house only when she finished eating her breakfast. 

"Welcome back, Jack. I started to worry that you wouldn't return before I had to go home." She said as she pointed him to a seat opposite her. 

When he sat down, she turned to her maid and ordered "Bring us some tea." 

Jack started saying "You do not need to…"

She interrupted him with a dainty sniff and declared "I use imported water, no need to fear." 

'So she doesn't have her head buried in her armor designs that much.' He thought and followed the demure maid with his eyes while she walked out of the house to hide his surprise. 

When he turned back to look at Wu Angrui, he saw the now familiar face of an obsessed artist. 

Her eyes blazed with curiosity when she asked "How many Haechi beasts did you manage to bring me this time?" 

Jack gave her a nonchalant smile and said "Twenty three. A few are a bit carved up, but they are all in perfect state." 

Wu Angrui jumped out of her chair and skipped around the room like a little girl. Jack thought she would hug him at one point, but she managed to hold herself back from going that far. 

When she got it out of her system and sat back down, she asked "Will Elder Ran be able to process them all before we have to leave?" 

Jack pretended to think about the question for a moment before he said "Honestly, I doubt it. Even if he does not, I am sure that the Wu Armor Store has someone trustworthy enough to deliver the hides back to you from the Tribal Assembly." 

Wu Angrui's brows furrowed and she asked "Can you not send someone over to the Outpost like you sent grandpa Long?" 

Jack almost burst out laughing at the name she gave the old man, but he managed to keep his composure and said "I am afraid that I cannot. This is a turbulent time for the Lament and I have to keep all of my people here to help out." 

They both knew why he didn't use the full name of the company, but neither of them wanted to make the conversation awkward. 

She let out a disappointed sigh and asked "Should we send someone to pick the hide up every hundred days or so? I do not trust those merchants that travel to this side though. They always…" 

Jack tuned out her complaining about the greed of the merchants that do business with her shop and listened to a familiar sound coming from the building next-door. 

"What if you sent your maid? She knows us and we know her. It would make things much simpler." He interrupted Wu Angrui's tirade and suggested. 

She blinked her eyes and then her face spread into a smile before she said "I can do that. Even father would not worry for her and we can trust that she will not disappear with our hides or spirit stones. That is a great idea, Jack." 

He shook his head and responded with "I am sure that you would have thought about it soon enough." 

They chatted for a few minutes about her armor designs and Poker, she glared at him when she noticed the rip in his sleeve and he had to explain that he got it when they ambushed three Haechi bulls that competed for a female's attention before she calmed down. 

When the maid brought them steaming tea, Wu Angrui informed her that she would have to travel to this side of the River more in the future. The woman nodded her head without complaint and turned around to leave back to the workshop. 

Jack caught the corner of her eye glance at him before she left and winked in return. 

"Why is your eye twitching?" Wu Angrui asked when she saw it. 

He rubbed it with a hand and said "Something just fell into it. Ignore it, I will be fine." 

When he finished his tea, he said his goodbyes and walked over to Elder Ran. 

On the way there, he found a secluded spot and forced two fingers down his throat. Once he emptied his entire stomach he continued on his way. 

"Want me to hurry these up? I know that the little armorer girl is going away soon." Elder Ran asked when Jack left the first Haechi with him. 

He shook his head and said "No, I would prefer quality over quantity. Take all the time that you need." 

The giant man grunted his acceptance and dragged the Haechi beast to the place where he skinned them. 

Jack returned to the camp, had some food, and went to his lab. In there, he sorted the mess that Tong Huakun left and waited while reading a scroll. 

When night fell, he heard scrapping sounds outside of the house and stood up in alarm. 

"It's me." Ma Ruiman's voice whispered a few seconds later before the leather flap rose from the doorway. 

Jack stored the loaded cylinder back into his Star Bag and said "I knew, just had to make sure." 'Damn, I have to stop relying on sensing other people's cultivations so much.' He chided himself while he did it. 

With a look over Ma Ruiman's shoulder, he saw a short nineteen to twenty year-old-looking pretty girl standing behind him. Instead of her family's traditional golden robe, she had black Xiezhi wool clothes on. 

He remembered instructing the grade five girl on how to hold her cylinder and how to shoot but didn't have a large impression of her character. 

"You made her go dark?" Jack asked when he saw the pale face, shallow breaths, and perspiration on the girl's forehead.

Ma Ruiman nodded and escorted the tired girl to the stone table and helped her sit down. 

Jack kept his question on the effect on the baby to himself and joined them. 

For a minute they sat around the table in silence. 

When the young woman caught her breath, he asked her "Yuan Zhenya, right? Why didn't you tell your family members about this?" 

A flash of fear mixed with distaste passed across her eyes before she said "I do not want the Bei and Wu branches to know before I can get word back to my parents." 

He kept his eyes locked on hers and asked "What do you plan to do after that?" 

She glanced at Ma Ruiman and answered "I will go back home to raise my child in disgrace. What else can I do?" 

Her face turned cold and she added "Listen to me, mercenary. I did not come here to ask for your help. If Ruiman was not so stubborn, the two of us would not have met to discuss this." 

Jack's brows rose and he looked at Ma Ruiman for an answer. 

The slim man shook his head and explained "She wants me to go back with her, I don't want to go. If I didn't mention that I couldn't go anywhere without your permission she wouldn't have come here." 

When Jack looked back at the petite woman, she preempted him with declaring "I will not live among mercenaries."

He leaned back in his leathers and thought for a while. When he finished, he mused "From my experience, rolling ships on the White River are not a safe place for pregnant women. You never know what could happen." 

Yuan Zhenya's brows furrowed and she snapped "Say what you mean directly!" 

Jack leaned forward and questioned "Doesn't your family hold multiple establishments in the Tribal Assembly? Why not stay in one of them until the child is born and see how you like it? I doubt that you will have to face any disgrace there. Ruiman will go with you to be our connection to the Assembly and the two of you can live in peace without fear." 

The two lovers froze and looked into each other's eyes. Jack saw unwillingness in both of them, but he also saw that they would compromise for each other. 

"Will you not come back with me? The Outpost is a much safer place to raise children." Yuan Zhenya asked. The tone of pleading in her voice made Ma Ruiman's eyes go misty. 

Even so, he shook his head and said "I cannot abandon my brothers, but I don't want to lose you either. If you agree with Jack's suggestion I am willing to give it a try." 

They kept looking at each other for another moment before Yuan Zhenya turned teary eyes to Jack and growled "He will not fight for you." 

Ma Ruiman started objecting "What? No, I will…" 

Jack interrupted him with "Deal, I will make him an envoy to the other Tribes and not allow him to leave the Assembly without your permission." He extended a hand to the furious girl while explaining what it meant. 

When Ma Ruiman wanted to argue, both of them turned their glares at him and he closed his mouth. 

Yuan Zhenya shook Jack's hand and let out a relaxed sigh. He saw that she feared that she would have to raise the child on her own in a place that despised her for her decisions; otherwise, she wouldn't have sought him out. 

When the two lovers sneaked out of his lab, Jack leaned back in his leathers with a satisfied smile and thought 'I lost a warrior, but got an envoy and spy. Not a bad deal all in all.'

Cultivating Civilizations are horrible places for people to live. 

Abducted from his retirement, Jack was placed into such a world. 

He has two options. Either he can follow the traditions of the world and kill his way to the top, or try to change the world into one where people don't have to. 

Follow him on his path as he tries to balance his past life's morals with this life's realities. 

Jack doesn't care that a sea of people stands in his way, he will nurture a sea of his own and drown them.

"Oh my god! Are you okay?" Sophie saw her poor mentor soaring through the air and crashing into the floor of the holodeck. Her eyes stopped glowing eerily and the strange emotions present in her chest vanished almost as quickly as they appeared. 

She hurriedly ran towards the sorry looking figure laying down on the ground. Jack had a much higher cultivation level than the young miss and hence did not sustain any injuries.  Him flying backwards was due to having been caught off guard by the sudden and unexpected attack.

Well…. his sense of pride had been greatly diminished…

"Yes. Have no fear milady, I was only… um testing your ability to track down a target and I felt the need to act a bit," Jack shamelessly replied.

Who know what would happen to his reputation if this matter spread to Katarina and the rest of the death guards? 

He received a doubtful look from Sophie but continued to talk as if the incident never occurred. 

"But how did you find me in the middle of the holographic illusion," he curiously asked.

No matter how much he racked his brains, there was just no possible way that a qi body cultivator would be able to know any techniques that could dispel that level of illusion. Sophie had not even learnt any qi techniques ….so was it simply blind luck?

Sophie cocked her head in bafflement and her answer made her teacher want to spit blood,

"I just used my eyes and the holograms just went away on their own." 

She decided not to mention that an overwhelming feeling of adrenaline was coursing through her veins at the mere thought of hunting him down. Honestly, Sophie's memories were a bit vague after the challenge was issued as her body simply moved automatically.

"That's simply fascinating! Could it be that your mother's race is able to dispel illusions and mental manipulation techniques?" Jack wondered.

Sophie just shrugged as she had no answer to that question. Her father did not tell her the full abilities of her mysterious mother.

Jack noticed her silence and believed that the duke was keeping it a secret and hence dropped the matter. 

"Here choose one of these four to learn over the next two months."

He casually reached into his bag and pulled out four tattered old books. Jack cheerfully handed them to Sophie and patiently waited for her to reach a decision.

There were four options that lay before her and Sophie had to consider the pros and cons of each method carefully as they were all vastly different.

The movement technique of the bunch was the 'Cloud Treading Dragon' which allowed the user to rapidly increase their speed and temporarily glide in the air.

The palm skill was the 'Noxious Yin Palm' and would cause internal injuries that would weaken and poison the recipient of the attack.  

She held no interest in the sword technique and foot technique at least for the time being after reading on the introduction page that each would take over five months to learn.

Sophie could not perform these skills in the past as each would consume a certain amount of qi from her dantian.

Cultivation was built upon two fundamental practices that would form a cycle of strength in the user.
Qi gathering techniques would increase the cultivation level of the practitioner such as 'The Spider Whisper Art' that Sophie had found written down on the monument. 

Each level of cultivation would mark an increase in the amount of qi present in the body which could be used to unleash powerful attacks and abilities. These attacks were based on cultivation techniques such as movement, sword etc.

But which was the right option…

Sophie stood still in agony for a few moments before reaching out to the furthest book on the left. 
She chose the Cloud Treading Dragon movement technique.

"Justify your choice," her mentor demanded.

"I learnt an important lesson from fighting my father which is that a fight is won by the person who strikes first." Sophie explained with confidence.

A small smile appeared on Jack's face, but he just gestured for her to go off to the side of the room to practice. 

It was the perfect answer.

What was the use of great strength if one cannot even hit their opponent? Many young cultivators wanted to seek glory and trained fist, leg and sword techniques but speed would separate the genius from the common man.

Cultivation manuals were relatively easy to understand, and Sophie gathered her qi at the acupoints in her feet. The forms necessary for practice were outlined in the book so she spent a couple of peaceful hours trying and failing to interpret the technique.

This was a much more relaxing session than the previous one with her dad!

Unfortunately, Sophie's happy life was interrupted by a sharp voice from Jack who had been overseeing her progress the whole time.

"There is something I've been curious about… have you ever tried using those spider appendages in a combat setting?" Jack suddenly asked.

"Um… I don't think that they can be used…. I can't seem to be able to control them very well," Sophie replied.

Actually, the thought of using her new body parts had been contemplated but when she attempted to move them in the mirror, she found that they were only capable of small side to side movement. 

Jack said nothing but walked up to her slowly and withdrew a small cylinder from the inside of his waist. He pressed a button and several tiny nanomachines flew up to form the shape of a blade with the cylinder as the hilt.

"Increase the sharpness to level 4," he muttered quietly.

Swish!

He swung the sword towards one of Sophie's spider legs and there was a resounding crash as the blade was reflected.

Sophie immediately checked the status of the leg but could not see a single trace of the sword strike. Jack stepped back and a contemplative look appeared on his face as he spoke with no small amount of astonishment.

"It seems like your appendages can withstand the strike of a grade 4 weapon that has not been embedded with qi energy. I'm curious to find out whether or not the density will increase as you ascend cultivation levels."

There were so many tests that he wanted to run on Sophie but the mental image of her father's reaction if he found out scared those thoughts away from his head. 

There was quite a bit of battle potential of these appendages that could be explored safely.

Jack stood still for a few moments as he made adjustments to his training plan, there was no need to teach her how to dispel illusions as the early level cultivation techniques were less effective than her golden eyes.

Instead that time would be better spent figuring out how to use those four bioweapons on her back.

"I want you to try moving only the upper right spider leg in a stabbing motion," he calmly lectured.

Sophie nodded and began to take a series of deep breaths. It was a strange feeling having these extra body parts. 

They somehow felt foreign and yet familiar at the same time. 

There was no evidence that their use was combat viable but yet Sophie could not shake off the instinct that her legs were dangerous weapons that could improve her strength.

Focus. Focus….

"I am the protagonist. My cultivation talent will allow me to soar into the heavens! Who has ever heard of heroes being stuck on the training phase" Sophie quietly whispered to herself.

Sui Meng's old supervisor would constantly preach about self hypnotising techniques that could trick the mind into performing at its best.

Suddenly a breakthrough occurred!

It was like a gate had been released within her mind and Sophie could feel an unfamiliar power rushing through her veins. These spider legs were as simple and easy to use as the fingers on her hand.

"Teacher I got it!" Sophie yelled in excitement.

This was the time for her to showcase the amazing progress of a favoured child of heavens who would overturn the galaxy.

She concentrated hard with beads of sweat pouring steadily down her face and eventually her upper right leg moved two centimetres forward.

Jack: ".........."

Sophie: ".........…"

An awkward silence reigned between the two and Sophie simply wished that the ground could swallow her up. 

Why was the script wrong!

In the Year 30XX......

Humans have long been discovering the wonders of the universe and exploring the great galaxies beyond the milky way.

They are not alone.

The universe is primal and untamed with civilisations pitted against one another in battles to decided life and death.

Mankind is one of the weakest races but have discovered cultivation techniques that morph their bodies and grant them unimaginable power.

Sui Meng was just an ordinary girl who woke up in the body of  sixteen year old Sophie Peterlor.

Sophie is the half human hybrid of a prestigious duke house but faces discrimination based on her racial heritage and apparent lack of cultivation talent.

This changes when Sophie discovers a cultivation manual hidden in the necklace given by her late mother.

'Spider Whisper Art'

Sometimes power comes with a price......

Qin Xuan sent the tutorial of Thunder Knife to Han Sen, and Han Sen started to teach her.
Half an hour was a short amount of time. After explaining and demonstrating some techniques, Han Sen asked Qin Xuan to imitate him twice. And then half an hour was gone.
"How should I call you?" After the class, Qin Xuan felt even more respectful toward Han Sen. Even his casual compliments made her feel very inspired. She was more and more convinced that her opponent must be a master. However, she could not guess which military mogul he was.
"Call me soldier," Han Sen said casually. He did not want to expose his identity to anyone, and he was not interested in knowing who she was either. In Han Sen's eyes, this wasn't anything more than a transaction.
"Then I will call you coach in the future?" Qin Xuan firmly believed that he was a master, so she understood his desire to keep his identity confidential.
"That'll do as well." Han Sen added Qin Xuan as a friend and left the virtual campus. He understood many new things after the fight and would practice more on his own.
After Han Sen left, Qin Xuan recalled every single detail that Han Sen had taught her, and started to practice repeatedly. The more she practiced, the more respect she had for Han Sen. Just a simple technique could have so many variations.
Qin Xuan felt that trading Thunder Knife for a class like that was a very good deal.
In addition, Qin Xuan even thought that this person was cultivating her on purpose; otherwise, how could she have gotten a class from such a master using just Thunder Knife?
Qin Xuan couldn't have imagined that her "master" was actually Han Sen, whom she had bullied a million times before. In addition, the incredible skills were just a basic technique of the Dongxuan Sutra. Han Sen himself had only scratched the surface, and what he had taught her was even less than that.
"Han Sen, you have been training and studying quite hard," the fat squad leader said with a smile when Han Sen came back from the training hall.
"It doesn't hurt to learn more while I am young," Han Sen said, licking his lips.
"Han Sen, what is the use of reading those ancient words? If you have time, you should train more." Vice Squad Leader Liu Mingliang pointed to the pile of ancient language textbooks on Han Sen's desk.
Han Sen had purchased these books for a grand price before he came to Daphne. Many of the books couldn't be found in ordinary libraries.
"Many hyper geno arts are adapted from ancient martial arts, so it doesn't hurt to learn the ancient language," replied Han Sen.
Liu Mingliang did not continue the topic, but instead said, "Han Sen, since you graduated with the rank of major, shouldn't you be a sacred-blood aristocrat?"
"Yes, didn't I tell you that before?" Han Sen looked at Liu Mingliang, not sure why he would bring this up.
"This might be your opportunity then," Liu Mingliang said with a sigh. "Many comrades died on Daphne this time, including guards, the squad leaders of the warframe department, and the demolition team. When we return, many grassroot officers will be promoted for sure. Although you have not been in the army for a long time, you graduated from a renowned academy and have the title of sacred-blood aristocrat. Therefore, you will definitely have your chance. Although many veterans are majors like you, we do not have the title or background to be promoted."
Han Sen was enlightened. Liu Mingliang did make a good point. This time, Daphne had lost a lot of crew members. Even if the upper level would like to recruit more people, they would not be able to make such a large recruitment immediately. After all, a careful background check had to be conducted before one could enter Daphne, so not many soldiers could be recruited here.
It was almost inevitable that some original crew members would be promoted, which would be an opportunity for Han Sen.
If he could become a squad leader of a less busy department, such as the warframe team, he would have more time to study or go to God's Sanctuary.
In a quiet corner, Han Sen called Ji Yanran to ask about this matter.
"I was just about to tell you this. The upper level will promote some grassroot officers among the original crew members of Daphne. However, I don't want you to become the squad leader of other teams; I would prefer it if you could be my guard," said Ji Yanran.
"Guard? So I will be able to follow you anywhere. I love it." Han Sen was overjoyed. Being Ji Yanran's guard, he would have more time to spend with her alone. In addition, as long as she agreed, he would have infinite free time, which was much better than a squad leader.
Ji Yanran blushed and said, "You are full of dirty thoughts."
"How's that?" Han Sen glanced at her fair skin underneath her sleepwear and felt an urge to go to her bed immediately.
Ji Yanran rolled her eyes at him and said seriously, "Although I would like you to be my guard, there are things that are not mine to decide. I have recommended you as much as I can, but all I earned was an opportunity for you. Whether or not you end up as my guard is totally up to you. I do not feel we have a great chance, but it is worth a try. If it doesn't work, then I will try to recommend you as the squad leader of the warframe department."
"What opportunity?" Han Sen asked.
"I am given two guards. One of them is already decided and cannot be changed. For the other guard, there are four candidates including you. I am not allowed to decide which one of you becomes the guard, so you must fight it out," said Ji Yanran.
"Will my opponents be surpassers?" Han Sen asked, blinking.
"Not really, they are all evolvers, but one of them is very impressive," Ji Yanran said with a wry smile.
"How impressive?" Han Sen frowned and asked.
"He is a major, same as you. However, he is a forty-year-old veteran who has spent about two decades in the military." Ji Yanran paused and continued, "You have seen Li Mingtang using that hyper geno art, which cost him sixty years of practice. I will not say anything more than the fact that your opponent had already succeeded in learning Super Diamond Body. He served in the Blueblood Special Forces previously and was called the Tiger of Blueblood."
"Of course, his strength is more than just Super Diamond Body. He is almost always among the top three evolvers of military contests, while Wang Hou was not even top 100." Ji Yanran looked quite troubled.

I walk through my dreams like I've lived a whole life there, most times they are about a recent book I read. That is one of the things I do a lot and I'm not just saying that I really do read almost all day long. If I'm not reading I am probably watching some movie or anime series, yes you can probably guess I haven't done much with my life. let's start where it all began.

Back in middle school I loved to read books so much so that when I was grounded they took away my books instead of saying I couldn't go out with friends or no tv/games. yes I was a pretty strange kid compared to some being a 12 year old in America at the time(2012 No less). when I was grounded my next best thing was video games because they told stories as well at the time my video game collection was pretty sparce using an old dell business computer that ran windows xp (let's just say I got really good at minesweeper). even before I found books video games were still present. I still remember my mom gifting me an original Xbox she won in a contest it came with one game and it was a racing game not a lot of story just races.

After a while of getting in trouble I got grounded while i was grounded so I lost games as well suffice to say my box of legos was not very entertaining for a 12 year old mainly because I didn't like to make things up myself it felt so tedious that I had to work so hard to make up shapes and other things people already. i also didn't have many friends so instead I slept, and I slept hard. I don't remember much of my dreams then but I do remember one that was about magic and there was a really dark forest that went on forever in a sea of trees, other than that though I don't remember.
A couple of months later I was officially free and it felt like freedom I got to read again, it was so much fun, I would imagine it being like a drowning mans next breath of air. I didn't goto sleep that night instead I stayed up reading, when morning came I was tired but the book just got to THAT PART that is just so interesting and catching you can't stop, i read through that day as well. after dinner I got so tired I slept couldn't keep reading.
the next morning felt so sluggish like the morning after you get drunk but not enough for a hangover. well after a week of being late for school because I was busy reading parents up an sold all my books. ALL of them like really I was almost done reading them! I never read another book until after basic training 4 or 5 years later.
things changed after I lost my collection I switched to video games and because they didn't want me up all night reading whenever Christmas came around it was games instead of books. birthday? video game. my dad was an avid gamer always tried to keep his pc updated and sent old games I could run on my pc to me. me and my dad were always great at games but I could never compete with him, and it totally didn't have to do with me playing the games for the stories instead of for the high scores(of you can't tell this sentence is sarcasm read this again).

flash forward to the start of high school I was big on video games by then my computer had upgraded to a brand new one from my birthday me and my dad built it together good memories there. I remember when i tried to play morrowwind on it. that was when I realised I didn't like challenging games i liked to play and get the story, maybe different endings (those were my favorite).

at the start of high school I didn't really have a lot of friends because I didn't have many in middle school. my dad recommended me to join the ROTC there, he said he did and he had fun when he was in high school. So I did and the first year was fun and it started with ROTC especially when I started competing. I had so much fun I spent 14 hours of day at school I woke up at 5 to get to practice went to school than got home around 7 after the other practice you can imagine I didn't have a lot of time for video games especially because all that practice was physally demanding. 

1 year later 2 year in high school this I would consider the real start of high school for you actually have to do something to pass your classes I met a girl in my math class (insert joke about about girls causing problems in highschool here [ps: this is the joke I'm not sexist]). We started talking about a lot of things our school football team things like that, than we got to books she loved to read book I got to see her library once well less of a library and more of a whole wall of books and all books I wanted to read. her name was Alex I had the biggest crush on her at one point than found out she was lesbian so we kinda grew apart shallow I know but it's high school things like this happen. anyways after seeing those books some of them I used to read myself I started to want to read again, but I had no books i was still forbidden to read so I put my frustration put on video games during this time I was playing a lot of modern warfare 2 I loved the story and the way it flowed but it was really the first game I really played on steam I have logged over 500 hours  on that game alone I got every achievement for single player even the ones for veteran difficulties and also got most for the multiplayer which at this point I had everything unlocked and was max level I loved the multi player.

at this point I was starting to show up late sometimes to practice because I wasn't sleeping early enough. I went one more year like that and over summer I played so many video  games I swear I dreamt about sheaperd in mw2 around this time skyrim came out and I played the heck out of it  (I didn't get as many hours of playtime because 3rd year of high school is the hardest around 200hours). 3rd year rolls around I've dropped out of all practices because it was all boring again nothing new same old stuff. I was still busy keeping my grades up especially that foreign language credit that is needed to graduate.

4th year felt like being a freshman again except youre the one who makes fun of the freshmen.

nothing important happened then so I graduated and I wanted adventure something new so I went and joined the US Airforce. If I knew what I knew about it than I would have waited unroll now to join. long story short my addiction to video games got the better of me some nights during training and I ended up sleeping in, combined with my selective forgetfulness  (I kid you not I forgot my boots one time). luckily I wasn't in that long so I got an entry level discharge (look it up if you don't know) after I got back I found books to read online and read I did but because I didn't have school and at the time no work to deal with

this is about the time where I realised something special about my dreams.

at one point in high school I played a game where you create your own games and other people play them but this wasn't like legos using only blocks this was a program and once they started to abandon the Lego building style I started to learn it you could import meshes from other programs like blender so I started learning how to use it during this time I started dreaming up wire frames i wanted to tell a story using this game a story without words. I spent a long time on this and I can say to this day that I am self taught at how to use blender and that I ended up really famous on that game for my builds

that was the first clue because I was spending so long learning how to use blender I started dreaming up wire frames or if I was having a really hard time with a specific thing I would dream how it looked and be able to re create it the next day.

now after my attempt at trying to get a stable job i went back to reading. It started out with books i had already read then spread and spread till I found whole websites filled with books to read some exciting some not and they all had one HUGE thing in common they were all fiction and that's what I like. the wilder the better.

one day I met a girl and we planned on getting married and we had a kid a beautiful daughter we named Angela love her so much. I don't know what happened after we came out of the hospital after she gave birth she said she was through with me and left. that hurt a lot so I went back to reading and read I did the stories around this time were mainly reincarnation stories in another world I swear I had a dream at one point i was reincarnated into alegasea  (if you don't know you haven't lived).

this is where I realised my dreams make for the best stories and I tried to write a story about a specific dream once or twice. It never turned out well. Now I'm in college for networking taking a Cisco class (super boring) so my dreams are extra vivid further making me want to write those stories out but they never seem to tell the story how I want then to but right now this one is working does this count as 4th wall break? (lol couldn't resist the humor there [and don't say it was bad because you thought it was funny at some point deep deeeep down you just don't know it])

a story about a man and his dreams that might mean he is insane or might just love books too much. don't listen to the voices in your head about this one because the pink platypusbear that sleeps like a bat doesn't like your drugs.

"So none of you are willing to go back with me?"
.
3 days had gone by just like that..... and today, Santa was finally leaving Baymard.
But since he would be coming again once Penelope signed the treaty.... everyone chose to go later on, and not right now.
And since they were allowed to work, they immediately started thinking of going job hunting and so on.
Sure, they were royals..... but ever since they had stepped in here, they had seen other royals worke as well.
Mother Kim was a teacher, and even king Landon worked at the hospital and every other place one could imagine.
.
Yesterday when they looked at the newspaper, they saw several job ads in them.
One should know that at the end of every semester, students graduated and started looking for jobs.
Hence there were always people trying to get into the job market.
.
Even those who were on holidays still needed summer jobs... hence the newspapers were always filled with several jobs offered daily.
Of course, some jobs like junior electricians..... or any job that was deeply rooted with Baymard's secrets, were completely unavailable to Non-Baymardians.
On the newspapers, it would say things like: 'Must be a citizen of Baymard'... And so on.
.
Yesterday, they had spent their entire time preparing for some job interviews.
They had read articles on the newspaper about prepping for jobs... as well as what they should bring to these interviews.
The whole thing seemed so fascinating.... especially to the women.
One had to know that all they did all day.....  was sit at home, make sure that the maids had prepared their husband and children's meals, run the household, and so on.
They actually never touched anything, so this was a whole new experience for them.
.
As for the men, they couldn't leave as well.... as 4 days from now, they would begin a test trial on how Baymard was going to train their knights.
They would train until Santa came back.
And apart from that, they were also allowed to take up part time jobs if they wanted to.
Staying in Baymard for months, would definitely run their money dry.... whether they were nobles or not.
Hence getting a job was definitely for the best.
.
In respect to the children, they were all starting school in 2 days time.... so of course they would stay as well.
Yes.... Duchess Mina and Duke Samula had decided to allow their children stay in Baymard and study for both semesters.
And in summer, they would come back to Carona as well.
One had to look at the bigger picture here.
If they could get educated, then when they graduated.... they could help in making changes within Carona.
After all, like Landon had said: the future were the youths.
.
And so as to keep their sons sword fighting skills intact..... they had decided to leave 4 of their most trusted guards with them while they stayed.
One had to know that knight pages trained almost everyday..... hence they needed the guards to keep their sons on their toes.
At least once a day, ther sons should practice fiercely for an entire hour.... or more.
.
As for their daughters, they were more than pleased to elevate them... as they felt like the courses offered here, were way better than what was offered at Carona.
So far, their daughters had taken etiquette classes, Poetry, reading and writing classes.... as well as simple math classes (addition & subtraction)
But when they saw Linda and all the other children here.... they were completely stunned by how intellectually smart they all were.
.
Anyway... Today was August 10th, and school had already resumed on the 3rd of the month.
But even still, Landon had assured them that it wasn't too late for the children to join in the semester.
Presently, they had all signed up for:
•Math 1: Addition & subtraction 
•Math 2 : Division & Multiplication
•Pyron 1: Nouns, adjectives, Reading, writing...etc
.
Of course those were just their main courses.... as they had other courses like Arts & Craft, History, Poetry, Gym, and so on.
So one could say that these children would have their hands full for the rest of the semester.
Bottom line, Santa was leaving with half of the royal guards..... and neveryone else was staying here until the treaty was brought back.
.
Looking at the goods that he had stocked up on his ship, Santa couldn't help but smile a bit.
For this first round, he had only chosen things that were a necessity for his people.
Things like Mattresses, beddings, books, pens, winter jackets, .... and so on, were his first line of action.
.
Before leaving, he had spoken to Landon about the price.
Landon wanted these items to be accessible to even peasants, so there was no way that he would allow anyone to sell them at a ridiculously price.
Hence he came up with a price range for various areas..... based on the exportation tax fees and so on.
For example, if 12 pencils cost 3 Copper coins.... then Carona could sell it between 3-8 Copper coins per pack.
.
Landon had added shipping rate, exportation tax, middleman fees and so on... to the that initial price.
But since Santa would usually buy in bulk/wholesale... the price should automatically become cheaper, when compared to shipping individually.
At the end, he had cost down on a lot of fees.
Time passed by swiftly.... and once everything was finally packed, Santa came back to say goodbye to everyone.
.
"Woo... Bro, they're so mean.
Can't they at least pretend to miss me a little?" Santa said while hugging Landon and pouting like a little kid.
Landon shook his head and smiled awkwardly.
This guy was truly shameless!
Everyone felt a headache coming along, as they looked at the giant sized child before them.
The children smacked their hands at their foreheads, as they too felt like this guy way too childish..... even for them.
And they should know, they were the ones who were kids.
.
"Ermmm...Uncle, you know we'll miss you right?
So stop crying." Replied one of the children.
"Yeah uncle.... we'll miss you for sure."
"Uncle, haven't I told you that you're the best in the whole wide Hertfilia?"
The children tried to coax this baby-like uncle of theirs until they saw signs of his 'mood' cheering up.
.
Santa raised his head and looked at them sadly, with a poppy dog look on his face.
"Really?..... You'll miss me?" Santa asked pitifully.
"For sure uncle." They replied.
"Okay... since you'll all miss me too much, then come back with me."
"__"
"Uncle.... please get on the ship!"
"Farewell uncle!"
"Goodbye!!"

His deadbeat father had indirectly banished him from the empire.
