this is just a book im reading and need the audio function! so dont waste time here im already in chapte 55 or something

       An afternoon the girl from another world wakes up in the bed, alone. No signal of the mute woman, which was out of the normal.
       She gave a look around the room, there was a writing desk, a plant, and a bookshelf. "Books! That could be interesting."
       With a lot of effort, she gets out of the bed and crawls across the room and out of breath lay down looking at the bookshelf. Then she notices the open window.
       "Today the night is very clear."
       Then she noticed the huge blue moon almost mixed with the sky, the green moon covering part of the sky, and the red moon, and the beautiful rings around the planet. 
       "Ah'm really reincarnate on another planet." For some moments she was astonished until something in her head get some sense of it, "This place seems like a mash-up of pre-Colombian cultures and they all have symbols and sculptures that gave the idea of people from other planets. Probably this planet. Everything makes sense. If you are crazy like Ah probably Ahm." 
       With her energies restored she went back to the bookshelf and pick one to open on the floor. "These symbols don"t remind me of nothing that Ah saw before. You read in vertical lines, like a lot of old languages."
       The paper was very thick and the texture reminded her of a fabric. It had some amazing black and white figures that reminded low-resolution pictures. Some had a symbol like a sun or a dot in the paper with drops around.
       They didn't seem to be made with the same ink of the letter. They reminded the ink from the magic book of the dice. She put her thumb in the symbol to feel and something weird happened.
       The picture seemed to have better and better resolution, even started to appear colors. And to her surprise, the picture started to move like a film. 
       She rubbed the page and moved her to have sure that it was really paper.
       Amazed by that. She watched every film in that book and looked for other books. Not every book had those small films. Some books didn't even have pictures.
       The coyote woman that she thought was a maid entered the room complaining in their weird language. Hold her for a second and make a quick gesture and a small light come from her hand and lit one of the lamps on the wall.
       She told it was a quick impression, but the woman did again and again. Lilting the four lamps in the room. That's was magic? The woman put her in the bed, get the books back in the bookshelf, and when she was going out-snapped her fingers and the four lamps turned off.
       The girl thought that she was too excited to sleep, but in a matter of seconds, she was in the land of the dreams.
       In the next days, she started to get every book she could to see if one of them had magic pictures and wanted to see every time someone made magic. The woman with the flute even started to take her when someone was going to make a fire and she answered with claps and giggles.
       Also, she was terrified of the beast-folk after she discovered that they aren't cosplayers, principally the werewolves and minotaurs. The satyr woman with the flute appeared a couple of times, but she screamed and put her to run.
       One day after the nursery time, the other kids they gave her another dice. This time a normal one with six sides.
       She didn't care too much and opened her book to keep the dice when something very different appeared. The inventory had ten slots instead of eight.
       She couldn't put the dice with the dice of six sides and gave a look in the starter of the book.
       "There were six menu items now. Status, inventory, Map, Encounters, proficiencies, and Notes." 
       Now in status am a glowing word that went to a page with submenu full of information and a polygon graphic. Her attributes were so low that it was almost a dot inside the figure with a small misshape pointing to mind.
       It was a bit frustrating that the book didn't turn pages like a normal book, she had to rub the arrows of return.
       Now maps had a presentation page and a submenu. The map wasn't much useful, because it draws itself on the places where she had been. But now they have the name of the locations. Rubbing the name of the locations the book zoom to the place.
       She looked at encounters and there was, a lot of pictures, with names. "Bonina, that's the name of that nice lady. Calla is the name of the old woman who healed my knee. But none of the monsters are here." She laughed that even the weird creatures appeared. "The weird chicken is an akaré."
       She went to the other item. Proficiencies. There was a very short list; Companion, History, insight, investigation, nuisance, perception, and spooky. Everything at level one. "What the… Nuisance and spooky? What kind of proficiencies is that?"
       She gave a look at the status and has more three points. "How Ah get that, and more importantly, how Ah use that? Intelligence is important, but me body is too weak."
       In doubt, she felt Goosebumps and put a point in the constitution attribute, the hearth. Life point raised to twenty, without none visible appearance. "Let's try putting a point in power."
       The power went to two. But she didn't feel anything. "Mind made me heid changed at each new point." She ranted.
       Maybe charisma could help her to talk better if the book had the charisma attribute or the first thing should be intelligence to help choose better. "Dexterity."
       A lot of surprises appeared; defense two, dexterity two, speed two, agility two, perception two, and more important was that she fell the difference. Her hand had a better grasp and coordination. Even her eyesight improved.
       Maps had an interesting change. All the places she had been drawn on the map, and there was a lot of empty space to fulfill. Rubbing the arrows in the corners the pages flipped showing more places on the map.
       The last menu item was "notes". Now there was an option to create classifications and categories to organize her notes.
       "Ah wonder how many pages its possible to put."
       One of the girls appeared with a pot and a spoon, while the other one was watching her with the arms crossed. The book said that their names were Sweet Thing and Tooty booty. "What is that thing sweet thing? It's possible that is custard? Maybe it has something disgusting inside."
       She looked with the spoon. It was milk candy. Better to turn off the book and eat.
       Sweet Things was not much interested in eating and started to talk. Maybe if she had put more in intelligence a new language could appear in her head.
       Sweet Thing wanted something that she didn't have an idea. She entered in the château, walked until the bookshelf and with a nark smile opened 
       "Yaldi!" A girl with that age could do magic without a chant? And to make things better she know the best books with videos and even audio.
       After a good time looking at the book she started to communicate like in a Tarzan film. "Sa-po-ti." Her name was Sapoti, and to make things better finally she learned her own name; Margot. Margaret Marigold.
       In the next days, they were hanging around together like a hand and glove.
       Margot was a bit disappointed with the book, but when she saw the book again, Sapoti was added to the page and she had a new proficiency, linguistics.
       One day Sapoti seemed to be saying provocations to her, that Margot just ignored until she did something that blew her mind.
       Sapoti changed her body and turned into a fawn, with hoofs in the places of the feet's and animal features. To make things more awesome she turned into a sheep and started to hop and bleat. Finally, she talks with her.
       Margot started to connect the dots. Those people aren't fauns or satyrs. They are therianthropes who could turn into animals. There's no such thing as talking animals eating in the table, and the nice woman with the pan flute and the satyr who tried to force her to eat gongos was the same person.
       That place was much more magical than she could wonder.

Margaret was a weaboo that only cared for comics, novels, and games. Until she died reincarnated in the body of a small child, daughter if the poorest countess in a fantasy world,
Now she wants to be an overpowered adventurer but is not an easy task and she brought something else with her, that will create a lot of problems.

Jack is rather stunned that there's a difference in this room, this person looks almost exactly like the NPC from the Hall of Trials place. The only difference would be that its irises are different, instead of the brown colour previously it's a rainbow split into several segments with clear division.

"Welcome user" The person bows towards Jack from the centre of the room.

As Jack is just about to ask what's going on, he can hear woman say "Goodbye" as Jack's vision quickly shifts back to his bedroom. He is laying on his familiar bed, it has been several days since he has been back and so much has happened within the game world that it's a lot to take in.

Peering around the room, Jack can see nothing really different apart from the door being unlocked. He quickly gets up off the bed storing the crystal somewhere safe, taking a look at the time. It's late afternoon and as he jumps onto the computer to check his roster for work, he notices that it has been updated and scheduled a shift today in 2 hours.

Jack curses his manager inwardly and shuts off his computer, leaving his room not taking any notice of anything else in his room. The house has the familiar pungent smell of weed but it's much stronger than usual indicating something probably happened with John.

As he enters the living room, John is surrounded by hundreds of papers, he has two laptops open while the TV is blaring the news. John in incredibly focused but looks rather comical with a joint hanging from his lips.

Jack picks up one of the pieces of paper from the edge, perusing it quickly he is unable to find anything he's able to understand as it's titled 'Macro-economic impact of allowing general public asset conversion to 'in-game currency'' going on about how if people are allowed to massively convert their physical assets, it will create a run on money and if this is to happen it needs to be controlled by the government.

It all sounds like gibberish to Jack and as he's reading this paper, John notices Jack standing there.

"BRO, WHERE WERE YOU FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS?" John shouts at Jack while he stands up and starts to shake him.

"I've been in the game, what's going on here?" Jack asks while gesturing at the spread of mess within the living room that John has created.

"JUST WATCH TV!" John forces Jack to turn towards the TV, it's a news segment.

"We're here with experts that are describing the other day's event where a star suddenly appeared within the sky giving off an indescribable feeling, almost as if it was a religious experience, in your opinion was that something to do with religion or something else that can be explained with science?" the reports asks while pointing a microphone at a scientist wearing a stereotypical white lab coat.

"That's ridiculous, there's a perfectly acceptable answer to the events of the other day. Radio telescope operators actively measured the event and found that it was simply a transitory star that appeared larger in size due to gravitational lens effect. We often use the same method to peer at far away stars but this is simply the reverse." The scientist explains while a graphic is displayed on the screen showing how a gravitational lens works.

"Is science able to explain the pressure that many people felt?" the reporter then asks after waiting for the video segment to finish.

"That can be explained by psychology, people share their experiences with their social network who then reinforces their incorrect opinion. The might was simply the human mind attaching an explanation to something it thinks should be 'magical' but is nothing." The scientist finishes explaining. This news segment quickly ends and a new one starts up.

"We now turn to the responses from various religious organisations around the world, first is the Vatican where the Pope has congregated within St Peters Square to address his flock."

"The pope has spoken at length over the past couple of days in private interviews and one on one meetings with various leaders of the Church, he is finally today addressing the general public over the Church's official response to the events people are often referring to 'Star Descent'" a reporter can be seen standing to the side of a massive crowd of people.

"The pope will start his official address now; we will be providing active translations as the speech is happening"

"Distinte Autorità, illustri Signori e Signore, cari fratelli e sorelle! Vi saluto cordialmente in occasione dell'Assemblea generale..."

"Distinguished Authorities, Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Brothers and Sisters, I offer you a cordial greeting on the occasion of the General Assembly….."

"We have consulted scripture and spoken at length in private and have come to the conclusion that this was no the sign of the rapture nor was it a sign of the second coming…."

"We believe that this is an act within God's plans and that this is sign of a trial as God is testing the faith of his followers….. speak to your local pastor for guidance..." the speech ends.

"There you have it, the Vatican's opinion is that it's nothing to worry about, We now take you to the Imam Reza Shrine where Ayatollah has delivered a sermon"

"We are unable to provide audio footage of the sermon but we believe that it was spoken that Man is not able to questions the heavens in place of the prophet…."

"Followers are asked to attend their appropriate gathering where answers will be provided if people seek further guidance"

"What sort of response has there been from our local Hillsong church?" an anchor asks.

"They've released a statement saying that god has his plans and if you have provided 10% tithing you will be saved…." The reporter reads the whole statement.

"Now for the wacky side of this news, we're told a doomsday cult based in California has massively picked up members following a rumours spreading online about the end of the world, they believe that the star descent is the sign that the saviour of the human race has appeared and the star shone upon him to signify that he's the favoured son of heaven." the anchor says with a stock graphic cult.

"Those are some crazy people but these are crazy times that we live in" the anchor finished as they turn to other news stories.

Jack really has no idea what any of this means nor does he know what John wants him to take away from this, he wasn't in the world while the Emperor Star descended and it didn't affect the game world.

Jack turns to John in confusion, John doesn't pay any attention to him and picks up a piece of paper.

"This paper here explains that within 6 months, governments will start to implement a plan to push people onto the game that otherwise would not. It goes on to explain that within 2 years, the Earth will be inhospitable to 99% of conscious life" John says waving the paper and picks up another one.

"This paper here explains that the crystals are really a way to separate our consciousness from our bodies, allowing our minds to withstand something that they don't elaborate but clearly it's something to do with how the planet wont have life in 2 years…" John then starts to prattle on about too many things and Jack starts to ignore him thinking that he's found some new video game or movie to get into.

Jack just stands there and listens to John but not really paying any attention, his concerns are what's happening within the game world. Jack needs to decide on some form of governance, he needs to train his fighting skills and he needs to study his cultivation technique further.

John spends several minutes talking nearly non-stop, finally Jack can't take it anymore and interrupts John.

"Look, I know this stuff is interesting but I'm starving so I'm going to get something to eat and I have also been scheduled for a shift tonight so have some stuff to take care of before then" Jack says while placing down all the papers that have been pushed into his hands.

John stops talking and takes a drag from his joint, "OK bro, I've been feeling a tad jittery over the last couple of days so you stay safe out there" John says while exhaling, Jack gets a face full of this and starts to cough as he walks to the kitchen.

Sitting on the kitchen table are a few letters for Jack, mostly just bills but finally he has a replacement bank card so he makes a plan to purchase a new phone before going to work.

There's no food within the kitchen, all the cereal is gone and none of the other roommates would bother to stock anything. He leaves the kitchen and takes a shower to prepare for work, quickly taking care of things and walking to the bus stop to catch public transport to the shopping centre.

Jack has a feeling that he's being watched at several points a long the journey but peering around he's unable to see anything suspicious and promptly ignores this feeling, settling in to relax for the first time in several days.

The rest of the trip is uneventful, he purchases a cheap phone and luckily is able to get a replacement sim card for his phone. It isn't activated but the new phone he got isn't charged. He eats a meal, goes to the book store and skims several books on governments, farming and medieval weaponry.

He takes several mental notes such as, cavalry is incredibly strong if combined with a powerful horse to create a nearly unstoppable primitive tank. Siege weaponry is also important to ensure they can capture towns efficiently. The easiest weapon to mass train peasants is the spear….

Unfortunately, he is unable to actually afford to buy any of these books but feels that the information should be better online. Jack is unable to shake the feeling that he's still being watched but again, there's no one that is really suspicious to him in the surroundings.

He finishes up at the book shop and heads to the super market where he works, his department had many people call in sick so he's having to do 3 people's work. Moving boxes, stacking shelves, assist the registers and cleaning up.

His shift is almost entirely uneventful with it quickly becoming night and time to leave. Jack clocks out and is leaving via the front door where a man in a suit blocks his path not far from it. Jack has had a couple experiences of people blocking his path within the game world recently so he can feel the subtle hostility from the person in front of him.

He puts a smile on his face but readies his body to run if the situation warrants it, this person could just be someone asking a question regarding the super market as there are some people who think it's appropriate to block people in to ask questions.

"Can I help you?" Jack asks.

"Are you Jack Hunt?" the man asks with a scowl on his face but puzzlement in his tone.

"Uh, who's asking?" Jack responds with a question.

The man steps forward nearer to Jack, Jack takes a step back but as he's not far from the doorway he doesn't have much room. The man reaches out to grab Jack's shoulder, "I think it's best if you come with me" he says as he's nearing Jack's shoulder.

Jack sees this and makes a split-second decision; he makes a fist and slams it into the mans stomach causing him to curl over. Jack doesn't have time to notice that his strike was much stronger than it should be as he's running away.

The man starts to cough on the ground and attempt to stand up but he staggers and is unable to stand properly. He's unable to spot Jack anymore and stands there bringing out his phone, "He got away" he says into the headset through clenched teeth hanging up without saying anything else.

 Jack rushes back home, he's able to arrive back home in about 10 minutes of constant running when it'd take at least 20 minutes with the bus. John is the only one home who greets Jack but notices that Jack has a panicked look on his face.

"What's going on?" John asks him. Jack explains the situation where he felt like he has been followed all day and then got stopped by someone who didn't explain anything and tried to grab him. John adds that he has also felt like that for several days, quickly they make a decision to grab some supplies and check into a random motel.

They grab their stuff; Jack grabs his game crystal and several sets of clothes. John grabs a laptop and his smoking supplies, including enough weed to last him a month. They both leave the house taking John's barely working car covered in rubbish.

They drive down the highway for 30 minutes or so and check in to a motel far off the highway, a good 70km away from their shared abode. John quickly settles into the motel room while Jack takes a shower and changes out of his work clothes.

*BANG BANG BANG*

Jack finishes up in his shower and there's a banging at the door, John has disabled the smoke alarms and the room is covered in a fine layer of smoke. Jack sighs at this and opens the door but the door is kicked in as soon as the handle is turned.

Jack can see the man in the suit from earlier but before he can react to this, he is tasered and passes out. The same happens to John as they are both carried away from the premise, the man taking all their supplies and driving away into the night.

Why not try my new books: Angel of Death, King of Sports and King of Film

Staying with Eva certainly wasn't boring. On the first night they were at her house she insisted they were going to burn through as many Disney movies as possible so Hazel would know who all they bothered standing in line to take pictures with. 
She hadn't realized her lack of knowledge had been so apparent. But Eva wasn't unkind about it. It seemed more like she wanted to share something fun that she liked than she thought Hazel was crazy for not knowing before. 
Most of the movies were pretty cute. Exactly the sort of things kids tended to eat up. 
Hazel had enjoyed it too once upon a time. Her parents used to put those types of movies on for her and sometimes even take her to see them in theaters. 
She used to wish they would play movies while she was in the mental hospital. But after meeting Will and hearing all of the amazing things there were to know about the real world, the fictional one hadn't appealed to her as much anymore. 
Besides, once she got out her uncle wasn't the type to allow children's movies in his house. He didn't like the slightest bit of noise indicating she existed most of the time. That was the only reason he supplied her with minimal art supplies. 
Drawing was always an effective way to shut her up. As she went back to school and was able to check out books from its library she tried to draw the things she read about. There were even some guides on how to draw that helped her a lot as she tried to improve. 
Hazel spent the remainder of her elementary school days and most of middle school as well refining her technique. She was so absorbed by all there was to learn that she had no interest in friends so it wasn't like anybody other than her uncle would have taken her to the movies either. 
When they weren't watching movies, Eva wanted to hear more about Hazel's life. There really wasn't much to tell leaving out her juicy past. She was a pretty boring person. 
Talking about her art was a fairly safe topic. She mentioned that she had been interested in it basically her whole life so it was the obvious career choice even though people advised her against it. 
Everything had worked out in the end. She landed this comic job, which looked great on her resume. And after that she ended up married to someone who was willing and able to buy her all the art supplies she could ever want. Will had kept his promise quite well even if it was later than she had hoped. 
Getting here had been a rough road though. Her uncle didn't support her dreams and refused to pay for her to go to art school. He had barely acknowledged her when she got a scholarship by buying her a school sweatshirt. 
All of her high school teachers (except the art teacher) were against it too. They thought she was wasting her brains on a field that wouldn't pay well or offer a consistent job unless she decided to be a graphic designer. 
Hazel didn't want to spend her entire life creating lifeless things for other people. She refused to go down that road, even if it meant picking up a bunch of odd jobs to get by. 
Graphic designers didn't have any sort of creative freedom whatsoever in her mind. She needed to be unrestrained and free in her art or she felt choked. Even working with a finicky author like Eva was far superior to making logos all day. 
The nice thing was that Eva understood how she felt about taking the easy road. She could have gone to grad school to become a social worker like every other psychology major she knew because it was the 'smart choice' with that degree. Social workers, like graphic designers, were in high demand. 
But she was one to take the road less traveled by. If she went back to grad school it would be to specialize in the very specific field she wanted and nothing less. 
She had told Hazel how she ended up where she was now, in what her mother called 'a career dead end.' Yes, she was working two jobs and didn't have the most glamorous lifestyle but she made enough to do fun things every so often like their trip in Florida. 
The point was that she was doing what she wanted and didn't feel a rush to change that. Hazel could respect that. 
What she was less fond of was that Eva's interest in true crime and serial killers was because she was genuinely intrigued by criminology. Her eventual goal was to work for the FBI as a profiler. 
Wanting to catch people like her parents' killer wasn't the part she was upset by. It was how she consumed countless amounts of media about serial killers and other famous criminals and helped perpetuate sales and popularity for those things. 
It was people like her who kept the market for such grotesque things open. Those she truly despised—the people who capitalized on other people's pain by writing books picking apart the sick minds of killers—made money off of people like Eva. It was why they kept doing it. 
She had seen the book on the Bay Area Blade that had largely inspired his inclusion in that docuseries in a stack on the coffee table. It had taken all of her willpower to keep her mouth shut about it.
The series had already started airing and Hazel desperately hoped Eva wouldn't want to watch it while she was stuck here. She wasn't sure she would calmly be able to explain why she couldn't bear to watch that crap. 
Three days passed and there was no sign of the snow letting up back home so she would have to stay here a while longer. That show aired on Sundays and it was Thursday now. More than anything she wanted the airport to be cleared for travel before then.

“I’ll marry anyone who will take me!” Hazel declared loudly. “I don’t need love!”

“Get down!” Will hissed. “You don’t know what kind of people are lurking around in here! Talking like that might get you killed!”

==

Hazel Dixon thought she was putting her troubled past behind her. But when the person she thought she trusted most betrays her, she loses her head and proposes to an entire bar full of strangers. 

Enter Will Sheffield, a charming stranger who decides to take her up on her offer to save her from herself. 

He spoils her rotten without expecting anything in return and Hazel's confusion only grows. She doesn't know why he is acting this way. Or why he reminds her so much of the 'dangerous' childhood friend she thought was gone forever...

Hi guys, this is me, Bastino Mhika, author of WELCOME TO THE GAMING WORLD, providing you with an author Q&A transcript. I want to do these more often so if you would like to see your name mentioned or any of your questions answered, just use the following means. 
Email me your questions via johnmhika@gmail.com
Tweet me your questions via twitter at https://twitter.com/BastinoMhika
Or follow me on Instagram https://instagram.com/thegreatbastino 


So the next round of questions will be for when I pass chapter 60, so keep supporting me by voting with your power stones, recommending this book to your friends and giving me feedback. I am currently short on reader reviews, so feel free to give me your honest opinion about my book thus far.  So let's get right into it. The character B will be used to represent me and the other names will be those of people who asked me questions.


Sodaldo98: "Hi man, I like reading your book, even though the first chapters had walls of text. I was wondering why doesn't the MC, Tanatswa, not get along with his mom that well? I think if the mother hooked him up with some connections he would have job. Just curious."
B: "Well, in my experience, especially in the country I live in, Zimbabwe, there are high expectations for young men to get their act together once they have graduated from university. Tanatswa's failure reflects badly on his parent and also his interest in unconventional fields like manga art, music production and game development, which are not careers that parents would think of for their kids, make him seem unfocused. So he doesn't get along with his mother because he has failed at the normal way of doing things plus his interests in other things are a mystery to her, which makes her associate it with senseless drivel. He was just unlucky."
RemroseXOXO: "Do you like petite girls? The MC's love interest is short and petite, but she is very quirky and foul mouthed."
B: "I think petite women can be very nice to look at, especially the cute ones who are compact. I like them, but if you read the recent chapters with Shami, she has abandoned her petite heritage and now I feel betrayed." 
Narutoneverdiedboruto: "I like the fight between Tanatswa and Tichaona. I noticed that people find out the name of their abilities when they reach level 2. Do the names of their ability give away the kind of power they will have?"
B: "Yes. Not all titles will be obvious, but if you can guess their abilities through their titles than you have an advantage over them."
Cherrypompom: "Shami and Tanatswa get together and have graphic sex in your book? Did it have to be that graphic?"
B: "Well, for the story, I think it was necessary. In some aspects of writing, one may depict sex between two lovers in a romanticised way, with just 'they made love' and you leave the rest to your imagination. In my case, I realised that two highly attractive people, living alone together, one being unexperienced and passive whilst the other one being overt and direct, would lead to eventual sexual activity, but the basis behind it was lust. Without the escape of modern conveniences like contraceptives, it's risky business having unprotected sex. So the graphic nature of the depiction was to show how people can get lost in the act without considering the consequences. Pleasure can ensnare people so the depiction had to be raw, irreverent and carnal, because as soon as they were done love making, they were now dealing with other problems."
Sichijpop: "Is this going to be a long novel? Because I love binge reading long books."
B: "Yes, definitely this book is going to be a bit lengthy, but to be honest, I don't know how long. Maybe 500 chapters max or more. If I feel like there is more to tell and people are still interested in reading it, then I assure you, you will have a lot to binge read."
Nier2bnot2b: "Most of your characters have unique backgrounds like the female lead Shami who was studying architecture in university, the film maker Malcom and the most surprising of all, Clarice the pornstar. Why did you create a character that did porn for a living?"
B: "Well, I think as much as porn stars stimulate people's hormones by having sex on camera for entertainment, they are still people who are acting as these personas and have lives of their own. In today's current social media environment as well as entertainment industry, people see the persona and not the person. Pornography can be dehumanizing for the actors who are probably trying to make a living by portraying these characters who are mindless sex addicts that can be objectified. It's all smoke and mirrors at the end of the day, even if it's socially unacceptable in most cultures. So Clarice is an extreme case because she is neither a YouTuber who pretends to be loud and gregarious nor some teen socialite who behaves a certain way to get views, but everyone goes through some process which is just like doing a job to get money. Some make prank videos, some have sex and have their videos posted online."
Tennytom: "When will we see the blue poison lady's brother? I love the plot twist about the reason why they are in Goshem, keep it up!"
B: "You will get some foreshadowing about his appearance, but not anytime soon. A lot will happen before they will have to face him. By the way, thank you for your appreciation of my work, I will work had to post more."


That's it folks, I will do these Q&A segments more often, so all you gotta do is ask me questions via the means I listed at the beginning. Get excited for the next chapter and don't forget to rate, share, comment and support the book. Later!

The afternoon gave way to evening. Mrs. Crabapple left for the night after ranting at Melvin, calling him names until she was red in the face, grabbing the new financial graphs for their biggest client out of his hands, and demanding that he start from scratch tomorrow. Melvin knew that she was merely going to take the graphs and claim them as her own, taking more credit for his work during her meeting with the Board of Directors. To hell with it. He didn't care.

He turned off his computer and stared at the blank screen for a few moments. At times like this, depression threatened to swell upon him and crush him with one devastating blow to the skull. BAM! And that would be the end of it. He almost wished it would come. He listened to the seconds ticking away on his Rolex. How many seconds of his life had been wasted away at times like this, sitting and feeling sorry for himself, for his sorry state of affairs, and doing nothing about it? 

Too much. 

He decided it was time to go book hunting. As a hobby, he liked to search for rare or unique books; they didn't even have to be worth anything as long as they offered some kind of interesting jewel for him to unearth in the pages between their worn and dusty covers. The last book he'd found was a diary of a man who claimed to be a werewolf, and that had proved to be some interesting reading, especially as the man went into graphic detail of his animalistic sexual encounters. He recalled his eyes burning through the words, flipping from one page to the next, a pleasurable throbbing coming from the crotch of his pants as his arousal became evident, and then disgust at the accounts of the man's eating of his victims, sometimes right after he'd coupled with them. Melvin doubted he'd find anything as page-turning as that, but half the fun was searching for the books anyway. 

Someone had told him of a rare book store, tucked away and relatively unknown by even the city's most ardent rare book seekers, and this is where Melvin headed in his BMW, aware that he'd be driving in a part of the city where a BMW would stick out like a sore thumb. He figured he wouldn't be there long enough to get it stolen. Anyway, no time like now to start working up that courage he so desperately needed.

Magical Sex Potion: A potion makes a loser irresistible to women.

“I can help you,” she repeated. Her cold eyes looked over him, up and down.

“How?” he asked. 

The woman smiled, her lips peeling back to reveal some sharp looking teeth. They shone in the pallid light cast by an ancient lamp. 

“Fate brought you into my store. You have trouble with women.”

She opened the cabinet door and pulled out a blue bottle. It seemed to pulse with a kind of electric power in her hands, and she popped open the cork and inhaled. A thin veil of wispy smoke drifted from the open bottle and wrapped her head in a smoky halo. A crooked grin slid over her face. 

“Magical Sex Potion. Drink this and you will become irresistible to any woman you so desire,” she said, her voice dancing around him, touching his face, slipping under his skin and propelling him towards her.

"What the hell do you need a children's book for?" Fluorescent yelled, causing the other person at the end to move their phone away from their ears.
"I told you already: I have to give my 5-year-olds a story to read in front of the class tomorrow because of 'Fairy Tale Friday'!" Fredda, her sister, said back, rubbing her ear that was being yelled into.
"You don't have any at home?" Fluorescent screamed again, causing a passerby to scurry off in case she got mad and started yelling at them for staring at her. Fluorescent was well known for hurting feelings for not showing manners.
"We do. It was just that we needed a new one. They can't read one that they have already read. Messed up, I know, but it is understandable."
"What kind of book do you want me to get?" Fluorescent said, rubbing her temple so reduce her temper. She was also well known for getting into fights because of her temper. So far, she had been suspended once from school for fighting someone that pushed her, causing her to drop her food and handcuffed twice for beating the sh*t out of someone that crossed her.
"A book like 'The Paper Bag Princess' or 'The Little Prince' or something," Fredda said, walking to her son's room to make sure he was done with his homework.
"Those books are awfully wordy for five-year-olds to read-"
"I have told you already: my kids are in a private school! Sometimes their homework comes out of an encyclopedia. I wonder if grammar school was ever this difficult-"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Give me a minute and I will swing by to give you the books because I am not going back again. You owe me-"
"Yeah, yeah. I'll CashApp you; just get the books and hurry before my children have to go to sleep because I have them read it to me before bed!" Fredda interrupted.
"Fine, Fred. Just be sure to give me my money soon because if you don't... you know what's coming for you. I have been in that kind of game for a long time," Fluorescent warned, dropping her voice down a few notches.
"I know. Just hurry."
After that entire conversation was over, Fluorescent got up from the park bench she was sitting on and walked to a bookstore that had a section for children.
Picking up the book " Goldilocks and the Three Bears" and flipping to the end to see how many pages it had, she realized that this book was starting to slightly fade away and then it faded back. She had to blink hard to see if she was seeing things. Instead of ending with that she gets away safely and stays away from them, it becomes blank.
In its place, it began to describe the horrors of eating her flesh and drizzling her blood over their porridge. And included graphic pictures.
In disgust, Fluorescent dropped the book, which, despite being dropped spine up, ended up flipped over, open to the beginning of the book.
That wasn't the best part. The best part was that the image began to swirl and she began to see a real-life image of a little girl, mischievously skipping to a cottage in the middle of a forest cover in thick canopies and the only sound able to be heard was the little girl's off-tune version of Mozart.
Next thing Fluorescent knew, was that she was being sucked into the book, and darkness developed over her eyes.

"I am normal, much like you. I am able to go into children's books and fight the villains. However, they are not normal villains. Angry. Hungry, Bloodthirsty villains. Sometimes the main character is the actual villain. But children don't know that now do they?"

23-year-old Fluorescent Miller was at a children's book store when she learned that she could enter the books. She also learned that the book that they put on the shelves is just a caramel-coated version. The real versions are much more gruesome. Goldilocks? They kill her and put her in the new porridge that they make. Cinderella? The sister that marries the prince has the other sisters and mother served at a later banquet as entrees. The Three Little Pigs? The wolf kills two of the brothers and makes the third one eat them; he then proceeds to rape, kill, and eat the pig. Little Red Riding Hood?  The wolf eats the meat off of her bones and knocks out the hunter to do 'things' to him with her bones. Rapunzel? She was the real witch and lured princes there to grab and her hair and climb to her where she would eat them and make soup for her mother out of their bones. The list goes on and on. Her job is to make sure that the stories themselves remain in control so that they remain safe enough to stay on the shelves. 
But it gets worse. Not only can she go in children's books, but she can also go into adult horror books. She makes sure that the main character doesn't die so the book isn't meaningless. Including books like Slenderman and Annabelle. mainly Stephen King books.
Will she make it?

Lin Sanjiu smacked the hardcover storybook back onto the top of the stack of books. 
The tower of books swayed from left to right from the impact. She quickly went forward and supported it to prevent it from falling. Glancing at the stack of books, she let out a sigh and turned them all into cards.
As she gathered all the twenty cards in her palm neatly and arranged them, she felt she was holding a deck of poker cards. Every card had the same description that read "Penguin Publishing's Pop-Up Storybook". 
"Why did he give you so many storybooks?" Soulsqn went nearer and asked, blighting the air with her fetid breath, "Is it because you love to read stories?"
"Good guess, but unfortunately, I don't," replied Lin Sanjiu sulkily. She spread the twenty cards into the shape of a fan and continued, "I kept wondering why so many Special Items were missing, but now I understand."
Soulsqn clamped her layers of thick mandibles and interrupted, "Actually, you don't have to tell me that because I'm not interested."
Lin Sanjiu had made a lot of friends. Some of them were smart, while the others were cute and had a strong sense of justice. However, right now, as she was waiting to be transferred to the next world, she only had this ungrateful and despicable grub accompanying her by her side. Lin Sanjiu's face darkened as she kept her deck of cards away. Then, she continued to finish her sentence, "Because he can't make up his mind either." 
The flesh grub nodded, then slithered away. She caressed the remaining craters with her tendrils to show Lin Sanjiu that she really was uninterested in whatever she wanted to say.
Lin Sanjiu sighed as she crouched down and ran her fingers through the sand.
The grand prize had really cudgeled his brain to make sure that Lin Sanjiu would return to his side.
[Penguin Publishing's Pop-up Storybook]
Every time I open this kind of ingeniously crafted storybook, I always marvel and am delighted by the pop-up elements that jumped between the pages. Those little houses filled with a warm orange glow, the plump hippo with half of its front tooth missing, the little girl that sat on a swing, the German-manufactured heavy artillery MG37T, and the bloodied rope… All of them are extremely real, exquisite, and enthralling.
As mentioned above, this is a bedtime three-dimensional storybook that is meant to bring joy to children. Perhaps since so many children have wished that everything inside the book is real, this book has developed its own will and began answering their requests. All you need to do is tear down a three-dimensional graphic from between the pages, and it will become a real object that you can use accordingly. 
However, it should be noted that the transformed objects will turn back to a three-dimensional graphic after they have been used once or have existed for more than a minute. There are only eight three-dimensional graphics in a book, so use it wisely! 
Ji Shanqing did not want to leave too many Special Items for her, but he feared that she might get into trouble, hence he came up with this solution. This way, Lin Sanjiu would have a sufficient amount of resources to get herself out of a sticky situation, but not too many to the point that she no longer needed his help in the future.
She clenched a fistful of sand and closed her eyes.
The grand prize wished she would return, but he was uncertain whether his sister would honor the promise between them or not. He knew very well that both of them had deep feelings for each other, but he refused to place all his eggs in the same basket. He did not give that many Special Items to Lin Sanjiu because he hoped that in the future, his sister would return to him because she wanted his help even though she was not missing him.
Compared to feelings, which were something volatile and abstract, he trusted something more substantial such as practical interest. 
Moving a step forward, Lin Sanjiu wondered if he would still let her go the next time she returned since there would not be the Veda to stand in between them after going so far as to eliminate every possibility to make sure that she would return to his side?
Lin Sanjiu was taken aback. She shook her head to shoo the thought away because she did not allow herself to think badly of Ji Shanqing. 
To steer herself away from the dark thought, Lin Sanjiu swept the sand away and pulled out a square iron case.
[Hey, Sis?]
This is a communication device Ji Shanqing specially created for Lin Sanjiu based on a certain Special Item. With a technology that no human had ever tapped into before, it permits the transmission of messages across thousands of miles to another device. Somebody said it was the telephone, but the inventor of this telecommunication device, Mr. Bell, was outraged by such a claim. 
"How dare you all compare this masterpiece to a mere telephone?" he growled, tapping his cane furiously, "Have you guys ever seen a telephone that doesn't need radio waves or the telephone wire, and can transmit a message through the universe beyond an infinite light-year?"
Even though the inventor has a lot of confidence in his invention, the truth is, there is still a limitation to the effective transmission distance of this telecommunication device. We wish for your kind understanding.
Direction of use: give one device to your receiver, and keep one for yourself. During your time of need, enter your voice message through the microphone and the message will be sent out through the round end on the other side of the device.
P.S: The most distinct difference of this telecommunication device to the telephone is not that it can send a message through the universe, but that it is a one-time use item. Despite Ji Shanqing's displeasure, the process of reworking the data is too time-consuming, so he gave up at last and decided to make it up with numbers. 
Besides that, the transmission time depends on the distance between the sender and the receiver. It will take several years if the distance is too large, hence it is not advisable to use this telecommunication device for chewing fat. 
'Can I use this to contact the grand prize?'
Lin Sanjiu's heart leaped into a gallop. She carefully picked the case up and examined it meticulously. At first glance, this case looked like it was made out of iron, but once she took hold of it, she realized that it was not. Even though the case was light, it was sturdy. She wondered what it was made of. 
After a short bout of rumination, she turned it into a card. In the end, she did not send a message to the grand prize. 
Since [Hey, Sis?] could only be used once, she was confident that the grand prize would not leave only one for her. The wind had gotten stronger as the night fell. It buffeted against her face, and she could not open her eyes by more than a slit. After groping in the sand for several minutes, she found another twelve of these iron cases. There might be more, but most of them were buried under the sand. 
She angled her head up and looked skyward. The sky was now a molten vermillion red as opposed to the earlier rich blue. The starlight, the night sky, and the vermillion red had faded into one another and formed a spectacularly breathtaking scene. 
The wind that billowed across the land sounded like the tide. It soothed Lin Sanjiu's nerves, and she felt a little drowsy.
After using up her quota for today, she had nothing else to do. Therefore, she decided to take a rest. 
Soulsqn had gone underneath the sand, leaving her alone to sit under the night sky. She wrapped herself in a towel that she took out from her card and went to sleep. 
She spent three days in this barren land that was perpetually affected by the sandstorm. During those three days, she had been busy converting the items into cards. The grand prize had left her with so many resources. She even found a hundred pounds of red crystals in the sand. For the first time in her life, Lin Sanjiu was sick of handling money.
There were a lot more items to count. However, the resources that she valued the most were the two Special items and four ability packs that she picked up from the sand. 
The grand prize never expected that the sandstorm on this planet would never end. On the third day, Lin Sanjiu found that she had 30 quotas left. In other words, amongst the resources the grand prize had prepared for her, about 30 of them had been deeply buried under the sand. 
"Hey, Soulsqn!" she shouted at the flesh worm. Understanding that she could never return to the Salvation of God, Soulsqn had curled herself up into a ball. Lin Sanjiu had no idea what was she thinking about, but she did not care anymore. "I'm about to get transferred to the next world. Here, take this."
Soulsqn twisted her body around and peered silently at the visa in Lin Sanjiu's hand.
"Consider this my parting gift," said Lin Sanjiu as she flung a visa towards Soulsqn. "This is a visa I asked the grand prize to issue for you—take it or leave it. If you still haven't given up on going back to your clansmen, the best way is to find Puppeteer first. Use this visa and go to the next world. Find a Consular Officer, and ask them about Puppeteer's location. I suppose they have it. Anyway, suit yourself. You're on your own now."
The grub stood up and caught the visa. She lowered her head to examine the visa and mumbled, "Owned by Soulsqn. The destination is…" Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly realized something and jerked her head up. 
Amidst the billowing sand, Lin Sanjiu waved her hand at her as she slowly faded away.


Lin Sanjiu is a normal woman in modern-day society. Everyone admires her outstandingly handsome, gentle, and rich boyfriend. However, Lin Sanjiu feels vaguely afraid of this "perfect" boyfriend. She's always felt that her boyfriend looks at her like she's a tasty piece of meat...

The transformation happened one night. Sanjiu got into an argument with her boyfriend, and he finally revealed his true colors. As it turns out, he was a being with special abilities from an apocalyptic world who wanted to eat Sanjiu to help him evolve. To his dismay, he ended up being the one killed by Sanjiu with her hidden abilities instead.

However, Sanjiu's troubles don't end with her dead boyfriend. In fact, the world she resides in is starting to go through unusual changes. This world is becoming a scorching hot hellhole...

Hello readers, this book is for me to practice my writing skill to become a better writer and author. If you find something wrong with any chapter please don't hesitate to comment about it. I would greatly appreciate it if you do so.

Now lets get started with the introduction shall we?

This book is about a world created by someone from a unique type of celestial race thats on top of the food chain in the omniverse. These beings are those who are both blessed and cursed at the same time by their creator god. You will find out more small bits about the being who created the game in the later chapters of this story as a sneak peek of the other book I'm currently creating. That book is called 'Infinitum, One of the Chosen Five Reincarnated Souls' which I'm not publishing any time soon.

The system format of the game is somewhat complicated and it is especially so when it comes to the sub-menu of status. Here is the system's main menu interface content: 

[Profile]

[Status]<Sub-Menu: Statistics, Foundations, Classes, Professions, Abilities>

Now for the player's assistant and guide. They are real beings living in a separate world while also being randomly chosen as the player's assistant based on compatibiliy. They and the world they live are also created by the creator of the game but their bodies in the game is actually a form of solid-astral projection so it means that they aren't completely a part of the game.

The story will be a little graphic during  a few fight scenes in the real world of the story so please if you can't stomach gore in a apocalypse theme novel don't test your mind's imagination and your stomach's tolerance. Remember health is wealth.

The world had become an apocalyptic playground for a demonic race that had cause a outbreak of zombies and mutated beasts upon humanity and the only way to fight them was through refining oneself and gaining strength from a virtual reality video game that suddenly appeared out of nowhere called Celestial's Space Core: Evolution's Might!

A celestial was gazing upon the sea of stars that twinkle in the sky with a heavy yet sorrow filled heart. Her very being was being pulled to another multiverse to be reborn to become even stronger and transcend into higher being than ever before, but her heart was reluctant to do so because of her love for her home and almost all the races that live there. She who was a human before her rebirth as a celestial because of her unique soul will nolonger be able to come back and humanity who will be facing disaster after she leaves will not be able to protect themselves. For her last ditch effort to saving humanity after she leaves, she created a game that will change humanity and give them the strength to survive.
