Having thought more about the matter, Meng Qi added in a low voice, "If I challenge the Wang family's disciples of the Enlighten the Apertures level, what will you do? It's not that Shan Xiumei had done anything bad or even stepped out of line. After all, being in her 'Nirmanakaya' is not a crime. So if I were to kill her, others would think that I had gone down the Devil Path and harmed a good person. No one would believe that I was exorcising demons."
He was too afraid of being cheated by Gu Xiaosang because after all, she was a foe. But this matter had to be solved quickly. Though a great aristocratic family or Six Fan School would gladly welcome Meng Qi with open arms based on the fact that he had the Thunder God's impartation and that he had the potential to be on the Ranking List of Young Masters. By then, he would easily take down that medicine scummer at the exterior level. But then the Sect of Plain Lady would find out the secret that he had the Thunder God's impartation without even using augur. After that, one of the Nine devil Paths would constantly keep an eye on him. And with his telpathic sense of the Thunder God and Extinctive Blade of Overlord, he would never be able to "step outside".
Of course, a similar result would happen if the "Thunder Blade Furious Monk" killed Shan Xiumei. And he would walk down the heterodox path.
Gu Xiaosang said with a chuckle, "My dear husband, since it's a 'Nirmanakaya', there has to be something special to that. So once Shan Xiumei dies, she'd turn into a flying light and head towards her Real Body. Anyone of the Exterior level with acumen would be able to sense the special breath of the Mystic Fairy lineage. You'll just have to worry about challenging her and creating an opportunity. At the end of the day, I'm still doing the fighting. Don't worry, the Sect of Plain Lady would not suspect anything. After all, everyone knows that it was I who killed the Seven Heavenly Fairies."
"As for other times, of course I'm still your maid Little Zi," she bowed, "Master, is there anything Little Zi can do for you?"
She instantly contained that mysterious aura. Apart from her beauty, which was still picturesque, she was just like an ordinary girl. Meng Qi almost couldn't believe that she was, in fact, Gu Xiaosang.
Meng Qi frowned slightly, "Aren't you afraid of being recognized?"
"I'm already changed my demeanor and hidden my skills. After I make myself up a little, I believe no one will recognize me." Gu Xiaosang smiled, "And those who have seen me, very few have lived to tell the tale."
"You are really a good actor, another trait people with mental disorders share..." Meng Qi thought.
Gu Xiaosang stepped out of the wing room to do something. And when she returned, her face was made up and she had turned into the girl next door. She bowed and said, "Master, are you pleased with Little Zi's appearance?"
"Women's make-up really is the best disguise..." Meng Qi's eyes froze and his mouth half opened. If Gu Xiaosang changed into plain clothes, she really would look like a pretty maid!
"Fine. Just don't expose your identity when you battle," Meng Qi reminded. "Otherwise you'd bring me, your Master, down with you..."
As long as they killed Shan Xiumei and forced her out of Nirmanakaya and returned her to her Real Body, then the Masters on site would killed that demon the Sect of the Plain Lady. By then even if Meng Qi was personally involved, no one would suspect him.
Like a sprightly maid, Gu Xiaosang pouted, "Master, don't you believe Little Zi? Based on my strength, how could I expose my identity just by killing her Nirmanakaya?"
"...young lady, If you keep up this act, you'd split your personality once more..." Meng Qi thought his "acting chops" was top notch. But compared with Gu Xiaosang's "natural performance", he still had a long way to go.
"Master, you can prepare and rest up today. Little Zi will come and pick you up tomorrow and we'll test our bladesmanship on the Yedu heroes," said Gu Xiaosang with a smile. Her eyes were turning and her aroma permeated the air.
Riding the carriage back, Meng Qi silently mulled over things in his mind.
He just didn't trust that Gu Xiaosang would help him without an agenda of her own. So he had to be ready for anything or he would be schemed by her.
The horse carriage dropped Meng Qi off and headed into the busy streets.
When Meng Qi got home, he sad one the stone stool under the plum tree and started recalling Gu Xiaosang's every word.
Suddenly, he squinted his eyes and repeated,
"'This is the unique feature of the Mystic Fairy lineage's fundamentals and no one on the outside world knows about it. If it weren't for the fact that I found some ancient books and records by chance and tried it with her, I wouldn't be able to understand the truth either...'"
"...no one on the outside world knows about it...found some ancient books and records by chance..."
"I found some ancient books and records by chance and tried it with her..."
"This means that she got the ancient books and records before fighting with the Successor of Mystic Fairy."
"And even the Wang family from Zhou County, who is one of the fourteen great aristocratic families, didn't know about the Successor of Mystic Fairy's secret. It seems that the Luo Denomination didn't know either. Therefore Gu Xiaosang only found out from the ancient books and records."
"What kind of ancient books and records was it? And how did she get her hands on them?"
Meng Qi mused over those seemingly normal words and tried putting the pieces together,
"She had known about Successor of Mystic Fairy from the ancient books and records. And therefore knew the secret of her 'Nirmanakaya', so talks of being careless doesn't hold true."
"She was in Three Mountains and Four Waters, yet she did not take the Outsky Strange Stone and cut off all traces. Instead, she went after the Successor of Mystic Fairy to help me, so she says."
"She also said she sent men to snatch the Outsky Strange Stone for me as well."
Like a spark igniting in his mind, Meng Qi suddenly saw the light and stood up,
"Demoness, I got it! your ultimate target is the Successor of Mystic Fairy!"
"You did snatch the Outsky Strange Stone for me. On reason might be that the ruins of the Ninth Heaven needs the Thunder God successor. Another is that you want to use my thunderbolt mark to trigger the impartation, spark unusual reactions from the Extinctive Blade of Overlord and lure the Successor of Mystic Fairy to come out!"
"So that's why you didn't take the Outsky Strange Stone and let the Sect of the Plain Lady 's men grab it. And that's why later you committed yourself and killed the Seven Heavenly Fairies. But it's a pity that the Successor of Mystic Fairy's Nirmanakaya had managed to escape."
"The ancient records you attained had reavealed more than just the secret of Mystic Fairy's 'Nirmanakaya'. Perhaps there were other secrets that's more appealing to you!"
"What do you want from the Successor of Mystic Fairy?"
Meng Qi silently asked one question after another as if Gu Xiaosang was just in front of him. But after these questions, he was totally clear in his line of thought. And for the first time, he had grabbed the demoness Gu Xiaosang by the tail!
Meng Qi paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, "We had a similar objective on this matter, but I must be ready for the 'divergence' in the end."
"Though she never actually fooled me and usually just watched, she is still evil. I'll try and make sure she doesn't get her way this time..."
He figured out her schemes, and now he just had to think of a way to deal with them. Meng Qi wanted to discuss it with Qi Zhengyan. However, He Mu just fought in the tournament today, which meant many would come looking for the master behid He Mu. So Qi Zhengyan was out of the question, but there just wasn't anyone else he could think of to discuss the matter.
Just as it was getting dark, Meng Qi suddenly heard a knocking sound.
When he opened the gates, Meng Qi saw an average looking, middle-aged man. He looked like a man who had been tired from the long walk.
"Friend, I've come to watch the tournament between Martial Clubs but I got lost and now I'm extremely thirsty. I was wondering if you could spare some water..." The middle-aged man asked with a smile.
Meng Qi had always been willing to help others in need, so he pointed towards the well and said, "the well is right there, go and help yourself. The water is extremely cold though."
"It's fine, thank you." The middle-aged man got a bucket of water from the well and drank. Satisfied, he smiled and added, "Much appreciated friend, how do I address you?"
"I'm Su Meng," answered Meng Qi, casually making up a name.
The middle-aged man smiled and added, "I'm Cheng from Yong An Fang, south of Yedu. I've come here especially for the martial club tournament. Is that the Green Peak Martial Club opposite us?"
"It is." Meng Qi twitched his mouth thinking, "it's written right there on the horizontal board."
"Ah, so this is the Green Peak Martial Club. Their disciple He Mu did really well today in the tournament. Not to mention his immaculate sword art! Though only reaching the primary level of Qi-cultivation, he actually embarrassed the Sun-scorching Martial Club Disciple, who almost lost despite having already opened his Eye Apertures."
Upon hearing the name He Mu, Meng Qi lifted his eyebrows and looked over the middle-aged man once again. Meng Qi saw that there was a hint of shrewdness hidden behind his humble appearance. And Meng Qi could tell that he had been practising Kung Fu for many years from the marks on his wrist and fingers.
Meng Qi wondered who was doing all this scoping, the aristocratic families, sects or the Six Fan School? Meng Qi wanted to clarify his identity, so he went along with his words and replied, "Yeah I know, I was there watching too."
The middle aged man then added with a laugh, "For He Mu's age, that he can use his sword art to embarrass an Enlightened Master Pro means either that he's extremely gifted or that he's met with some marvellous adventure. But I've heard he had always been just an average disciple, and only began making huge strides with his skills recently."
From their conversation, Meng Qi was able to figure out his identity---He was a nark from the Six Fan School. Meng Qi did not expose his identity though, and just pretended to be none the wiser and waiting for him to ask Meng Qi about the skilled master behind He Mu.
"Mr Su, I'm assuming that you've been living here for a while now. Did you realize that He Mu was such a gifted swordsman?" the middle-aged man turned the conversation back to He Mu.
"So nark of the Six Fan School, you've done your homework on me too huh..." Meng Qi replied with a smile, "He Mu has always been diligent, asking me about words and terminology. But apart from that, nothing special."
The middle-aged man clapped his hands together and said, "I knew it!"
He squinted his eyes and like a gossipy old lady trying to dig for news, he asked, "Mr Su, have you ever seen anyone giving He Mu a few pointers? He must have met someone special!"
Meng Qi was just trying to conjure someone up in his mind when a thought had struck him, he laughed and replied, "Why of course I have."
"Really? Who?" the middle aged man asked with excitement.
Meng Qi smiled while pointing to himself, "you're looking at him."
The middle aged man suddenly looked confused, as if it were looking at a mad man. He forced a smile and asked, "You're kidding me, Mr Su."
Who would admit to such things!
"It really is me! I'm the master who gave He Mu a few pointers!" Meng Qi said matter-of-factly.
"I've never seen a master that would boast about himself like that..." The middle aged man covered his face and sighed, realizing that he had met a mad man.
"You're a nark from the Six Fan School right?" Meng Qi asked in a serious tone. And just like a skilled master, he put his hands behind his back.
The middle-aged man's face fell, "Mr S..Su, what did you say?"
"I've been hiding for for half to year to escape from being killed by the demoness. But it seems that I will have to face her anyway. So I wanted to pass on my skills to He Mu so that at least some could impart my sword art. Please pass on this information to the six fan school, and you be the witness." Meng Qi knew that Gu Xiaosang would not have guessed that the six fan school would come knocking at this moment.
His tone sounded heavy and solemn.
The middle-aged man then asked, "And your name sir?"
"I'm an abandoned Shaolin Disciple, formerly known by the name, Zhen Ding. Now, I go by the name Su Meng," answered Meng Qi in a calm but heavy manner.
Abandoned Shaolin Disciple Zhen Ding? This name was well-known within Jianghu circles, especially those below the the Exterior level. The middle-aged man added almost silently,
"You're the Thunder Blade Furious Monk?"
Meng Qi sighed, "Go back now and don't bother me anymore tonight, for I need to rest up and get ready. Tomorrow, I'll be meeting the heroes of Yedu with my blade."
The middle-aged man was perplexed, not understanding the connection between the words. But it was clear that Meng Qi wanted to see him off, so he turned to leave shutting the gates on his way out.


I care not of my past and neither of my future.
Conquering all heroes and foes while looking with disdain at the horrors of the Samsara, I yearn only for a life of thrilling wonders!
History will repeat itself after many ages as the menace of the Great Calamity rises once more.
Which will rise with triumph in the face of adversity; the Golden Form of the Great Buddha or the invincible Heavenly Taoist Form?
Which will seize all glory amidst all struggles; The Buddha's Palms or the  Seven Strokes of Heaven's Interception?
From the sanctum of the Shaolin Temple, Meng Qi's adventures and struggles through the Samsara begin as we follow his climb to claim the title of "the Unrivaled and the Invincible One"!


By the time Qiao Dongliang snatched the novel from Qiao Zijin, only then did she realize that someone had entered her room. 
Qiao Zijin flushed with embarrassment and said to Ding Jiayi, "Mom, why did you enter my room without knocking!" 
"What kind of nonsense novel are you reading!" Qiao Zijin had stopped at a page where there was some saucy material. Qiao Dongliang took a few glances and was exasperated. "Did you coop yourself up in your room to read this kind of novel?" 
Giving Qiao Zijin no time to react, Qiao Dongliang spread his two hands and tore up the novel. "You refuse to let Nan Nan study, and yet you have spare money to buy this for Zijin. Old Ding, let me ask you, do we have money or not?" 
Qiao Dongliang saw that the novel was not cheap, and there was the elder daughter's name on the book. It was undoubtedly hers. 
"I… I…" Ding Jiayi was dumbfounded. Old Qiao wanted his daughters to be well-educated and to have a promising future, so as to make up for his regret of being discharged from the army. This was the first time that she had seen Old Qiao tear up their daughter's books. 
"I didn't." Ding Jiayi hurried to explain. "I didn't give Zijin money and I never knew that she bought books recently." 
Ding Jiayi felt that she had been treated unjustly. She had saved and scrimped at home and kept tight control on the meat and fish dishes at home in order to save some money to pull strings for Zijin. 
She would never give Zijin extra money to buy these kind of novels. 
Ding Jiayi had no idea what the novel was about. But judging from Qiao Dongliang's reaction, when he only took a glance and tore it into pieces, intuition told her that there was nothing great about the book. 
Out of curiosity, Qiao Nan picked up the book on the floor, and flipped to the last page.
She has been sisters with Qiao Zijin for two lives. She knew all the small habits that Qiao Zijin had.
As expected, when Qiao Nan flipped to the last page, she saw some dates written on it. It dated back to more than half a year ago, around New Year last year. 
Looking at the pages, there weren't brand new. It meant that Qiao Zijin bought it more than half a year ago, and she had finished reading some time ago. 
Qiao Nan calculated the dates, and realized that it had been during the most crucial part of the year where Qiao Zijin was sitting for her middle school examination. Qiao Zijin had spare money, yet she did not spend it on revision books, but wasted it on this kind of novel. No wonder Qiao Zijin had not been doing well in her exams, and that she only barely managed to make it to high school. 
Qiao Dongliang used to serve in the army, he was more insightful than others. 
Just one glance at Qiao Nan's flipping actions and he knew what was going on. There was no need for Qiao Nan to say a word. 
Qiao Zijin was sitting for her crucial middle school examination at that time, and yet she had the time to read novels. Thinking back on her results, Qiao Dongliang felt extremely disappointed. 
Ever since he had been discharged from the army, he had pinned his hopes on his two daughters, hoping that they would have good prospects, and that was why he let them enrol in school. 
He thought she was not as gifted but had tried her best, thus with the adequate results that she had, he had not scolded her at all for two whole months. 
But now Qiao Dongliang knew the truth. Qiao Zijin did not put any effort into her studies at all. 
"No wonder your results are less than satisfactory; this is where you have channeled your attention to." Qiao Dongliang was puzzled, at such a young age, how did Qiao Zijin know about these romance novels?
Thinking back on the near seventeen years that he had spent bringing up his elder daughter, she had never shed a tear for her Dad. Yet she had cried her guts out for that book. Qiao Dongliang felt awful. 
But he could not take it out on his daughter, so he ranted at Ding Jiayi. "She was preparing for her middle school examination and yet she was reading this sort of immoral book. How could she possibly get good results?! Zijin's heart was not set on studying and you forced her to study. On the other hand, Nan Nan had been performing well all along, yet you wanted her to quit school. What do you mean by that?!" 
Qiao Dongliang grabbed the book from Qiao Nan and threw it into Ding Jiayi's face. 
Her face was not hurt, but her pride did. However Ding Jiayi could not rebut a word now. "Zijin, why did you…" 
Why did she have to fumble the ball at such a juncture?
Ding Jiayi never imagined that her elder daughter would be reading novels instead of revising in such a crucial half-year period. 
On the other hand, even though Qiao Nan wanted to study at home, Ding Jiayi would always order her around, asking her to run errands and to clean up the house. 
Qiao Zijin still had a buzzing sound in her ears. She was totally baffled, scared out of her wits. 
Whenever Qiao Zijin was reading, no-one in the house would disturb her. 
In particular today, she made it a point to tell Ding Jiayi that she was going to study. As always, Ding Jiayi would not let anyone disturb her or go into her room. 
Because there was Ding Jiayi around, Qiao Zijin read her novel without a care. 
The story had reached a climax, Qiao Zijin was totally absorbed in the plot, sobbing terribly for the couple who were forced to stay apart by the wife of the male lead. Yet all of a sudden there were three people in her room. 
As for the revision that Qiao Zijin was saying, the content of this book had no relation whatsoever to her junior high studies. 
"No, no, Dad, you… you are mistaken, this book… I, I only read it after exams were over, not, not before that…" 
Qiao Zijin stuttered and could not utter a proper sentence. But everyone could tell that she was trying to make excuses for herself. 
Ding Jiayi came to her senses and went to Qiao Zijin's rescue. "Old Qiao, you heard it, though Zijin bought the book way before exams, she only read it recently. How she fared in middle school examination had nothing to do with this book. Zijin was so sensible, she would not do things like that." 
"Never read before, does this look like a new book?" 
"Dad, I never read it, but I lent it to my classmate!" 
"Who did you lend it to?" 
"I have lent it to Wang Hua from the next class." But Wang Hua has moved house four months ago. She did not even sit the middle school examination. Her Dad would not be able to find her.
"The one who moved, sister, since when are you on such close terms with the classmates from the next class?" Qiao Nan laughed. Qiao Zijin might be able to convince their mother, but definitely not Dad. 
This was obviously Qiao Zijin's intention. Wang Hua had moved house and Dad had no way of verifying with her. 
"You shut up!" Ding Jiayi shouted at Qiao Nan. "At this juncture,you are still adding fuel to the fire, Qiao Nan, what ill intentions are you harboring, if you do not know how to speak, just keep your mouth shut!" 
Ding Jiayi was startled by Qiao Dongliang's darkened face. 
"Dad, I have to enroll for school the day after tomorrow. Where are my school fees?" Qiao Nan tried changing the topic, the date for enrollment was just a few days away, would she be able to get her school fees? "Dad, I have used up all my pens and exercise books." 
Qiao Dongliang let out a deep breath, "Give twenty yuan to Nan Nan." 


Qiao Nan: Crap! I am your biological daughter, yet I am treated as if I was picked up from the streets. In fact, you treat me worse than that!

Mother Qiao: Qiao Nan, you are not as pretty or smart as your elder sister. You are not as blessed as her. You have no right to study, marry, or to have your happiness!

Qiao Nan: Why am I not allowed to study, marry, or to seek my happiness? I will find a man right now and marry him!

Qiao Nan is dumbstruck upon discovering that the man right beside her is a powerful figure in the quad—the person who has the most promising prospects to be the future Chief.

Qiao Nan stares at the well-built man in front of her. He has firm abs and cold, chilling eyes. She swallows the lump in her throat as she says her greetings, "Good Morning, Chief!"

Is it because of Miss Han?" Song Yan suddenly realized it. "I seem to have a better score in this English test. Otherwise, I would not have been approved by Miss Han."

"Haha, my classmates might approve me if Miss Han released my score in the class." Song Yan was looking forward to the release of the exam results.

The last class in the afternoon was English class. The exam results might be released then.

 

Song Yan was elated at the thought and even began to hum.

 

On the third floor, a boy viciously stared at Song Yan who just walked out of the rest room, and muttered to himself, "Song Yan, I would let you know what you are going to end up after school. How dared you offend me?"

 

In Song Yan's expectation, the last class today finally came. The beautiful Han Sha walked into the classroom with the examination papers which had been scored.

 

She fixed her eyes upon Song Yan for a moment before she opened her mouth, "The exam results are not as good as last time. But several students have made great progress and achieved better scores. Song Yan, come here and get your paper."

 

"Yes, Miss Han." Song Yan stood up and came to the platform. He took over his paper from a smiling Han Sha, and looked at the score naturally.

 

The score was 106. Although it ranked in the middle among all the students, Song Yan was pretty much satisfied. After all, he had only memorized all the knowledge in the books of Senior Two and Senior Three with the magic power, Extraordinary Retentive Memory. If he memorized more knowledge in the books of Senior One and Junior Middle School, he would achieve better result.

"Song Yan, I hope you will make persistent efforts. Now, go back to your seat." Han Sha said to Song Yan.

 

Song Yan went back to his seat and sat down. Li Lei got closer to him and said in surprise, "Dude, you have set the Thames on fire."

 

Song Yan smiled, speechless. He called out the system interface at this moment.

 

See the simple black and white system interface, Song Yan felt especially drawn to it as the Fame bar changed again, rising from 10 to 23.

 

It meant he could do the second lucky draw.

 

After distributing all the exam papers, Han Sha explained some difficult questions in the paper.

 

The finally school bell rang. Li Lei said to Song Yan excitedly, "Let's go to the net bar."

 

"The game will be launched at 8 pm. You go there first. I'll find you later." Song Yan answered as he was anxious to do the second lucky draw.

 

He got the magic power of Extraordinary Retentive Memory in the first lucky draw. What would he get in the second one?

 

Soon, there was only Song Yan left in the classroom. He immediately called out the system interface and clicked the "Prize" in the middle of the prize wheel with his finger.

 

The letter disappeared and an indicator appeared. It rotated quickly and finally stopped pointing to a yellow box.

Harry found himself in a old train together with Aaron and the red haired girl he noticed earlier. They rode it until they reached the foot of the mountain. After that the three of them were transported into the middle of the once lovely forest. Suddenly the forest became dark and overgrown and very scary just like the Forbidden forest which borders the edges of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry grounds. 
1 hour had past, yet Harry was still there, asleep at the moment, but not for long. Aaron came to him and wake him up. "Harry wake up! The ceremony was over." 
"Hogwarts." Harry murmured as he slowly opened his eyes and turned his gaze to Aaron. Harry had no idea how long he had been asleep but there was one thing he knew for sure. Hogwarts was still there. It was hidden near that Forbidden forest in his dreams. 
"Hogwarts?" Aaron wrinkled his forehead in confusion. Harry became more determined to find his dream school at all cost. Hogwarts have been gone for so long  that people forgot it even existed.
"Here we are!" Harry exclaimed. Harry invited Aaron to his Grandpa's secret basement. He wants to show Aaron some of his grandfather's books about Hogwarts but the great heavy wooden door was locked. He asked Aaron to take a step back as he pulled out his wand from his bag. Aaron's eyes grew bigger with wonder. He doesn't believe in magic but not until Harry waved his wand and cast a spell. 
"Alohomora!" 
At that instant the doors flew open. The two stepped into the dimly lit room. Aaron gasped, marveling at the number of books, Harry's grandfather has written. "Woah. Your gramps surely loves to write."
Harry went over to one of the shelves. He started to look carefully at each books, from one book to another, from the bottom shelf up to the second and finally to the last shelf at the top. Harry reached over and pulled the book out of the shelf. Unfortunately several books fell onto the floor instead.
A cloud of dust filled the basement and about twenty books were scattered on the floor but Harry knows how to handle the situation. He cast a spell that help him locate the book he was looking for

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.

In the metallic silver hall of the congress tower, Lazar had been laughing for quite a while, and he said to Lucien, "Hahaha… Did you see Ms. Lawette’s face? It was purple! Purple! Haha…" Lazar’s own face was now red from laughing too hard, "It’s just like… like a hundred arcana credits were given to her but, in the next minute, the credits were taken away again because it was given to the wrong person, haha… You know how many people don’t like her? Haha…"
"I just don’t really get it," said Lucien, smiling. "Why did she want to give us a hard time? I mean, she didn’t have to."
"Ms. Lawette is one of those sorcerers that I mentioned before who did not want to make any progresses anymore in their lives. Those people hate other people who are still striving for a better life." Lazar gently patted his chest to calm himself down. "I hope I won’t be like this in my sixties."
"We can try." Lucien laughed. "It’s quite hard for me to imagine you with Ms. Lawette’s disgruntled look on your face, Lazar."
"Try what? How?" Lazar was confused.
"You can lend me your thirty arcana points, and I’ll try my best to not pay you back, haha." Lucien joked, "Let’s see if you can still be this patient with me."
Lazar rolled his eyes at Lucien, "Come on, thirty points to you is nothing. By the way, you’re going to meet your students again, and that’s quite nice, isn’t it?"
Among the five magic schools in Allyn, Douglas ranked the best magic school, whose strength was in the school of Force, Electromagnetics, Astrology, and Element. Following Douglas were the two schools named Allyn and Pesancho. The former was known for its subjects of Necromancy and Summoning, and the latter was good at teaching Transformation and Illusion. Besides these schools, Trident was the school known for their researches in the latest three magic fields: Electromagnetics, Thermodynamics, and Light-darkness, and many students who wanted to study Alchemy, Element or Thermodynamics would also go to Alborg.
Of course, the schools all provided courses covering all the fields, despite the fact that each had its own strength.
"It’s surely nice, however, I need to buy a storage bag first, which means spending money. Right now, spending money doesn’t make me happy," answered Lucien.
"Then our next destination, Wasim!" said Lazar cheerfully.
...
"Level three storage bag, mass produced, middle-ranked, ‘Shrink’ enchanted. You can shrink and store your belongings to one sixteenth of its original size in this bag with only twenty percent of its weight. Magic wave covered. Four hundred arcana points," introduced the owner of the store.
Lucien’s heart was bleeding. This bag just cost him three Wave Stones, fifty-eight Thales and six arcana points, and right now the palm-sized pouch was already half filled with Lucien’s books, notes and materials.
Seeing Lucien’s desperate look, Lazar comforted him, "Come on, my friend, stop feeling heartbroken. If it wasn’t from mass production, you probably need to spend a thousand arcana points on a level three storage bag! Before, this bag was way more expensive. Besides, the bag is a must to you, and you’re not wasting your money."
Lucien nodded, but still felt that he just suffered a great loss.
"By the way, next time when I need Wave Stone, can I buy some from you with a bit lower price?" Lazar tried to distract Lucien, "Anyway, when your paper is published, I’m sure lots of people will cite your paper to improve your spell. At that time, you’ll have lots of arcana points, trust me."
"Lazar… Is your magic robe also from mass production?" asked Lucien.
"Forget about mass production…" Lazar was amused, "Where shall we go next then?"
"Library! Basic Arcana Library!" Lucien suddenly cheered up.
...
"What?! Pay before read?!" asked Lucien, feeling shocked.
The old librarian grinned, "You are still too young and naive, boy. Soon after the library was built, many sorcerers with great spiritual power and memory were coming here to memorize the books in the library. Later they even created some tricky magic circles to copy the books here. Everyone knows knowledge is wealth, and no one can get knowledge for free."
Although the librarian’s hair was half white and was pretty short, he was still a good-looking man with graceful manners. However, Lucien did not like him at all.
"But… But if I don’t glance the books over first, how do I know these are the books that I’m looking for?" Lucien was still trying.
"I’ve been hearing this all the time, young man," the short librarian waved his index finger a bit in front of Lucien’s face, "always the same reason."
Then the librarian knocked the magic circle, and smoke puffed out of it. A well-built man with naked chest appeared in the air, wearing black soft hair.
"Alex, Djinn of Basic Arcana Library, an alchemical life with great memory," introduced the librarian. "Tell him what kind of knowledge you want, and Alex can tell you what books you need and where they are, even including abstracts."
"Welcome, Alex is at your service," greeted the Djinn.
"Then… How much to borrow a book?" Lucien tried to stay calm.
"The library’s only available to sorcerers from the congress. You need to pay ten Nars to keep a book for seven days."
"Ten Nars?" Lucien almost burst out that this was robbery. In Aalto, he could spend only one or two Nars to buy a thick book.
"Such a pity…" The old librarian shook his head, "Today’s young men don’t understand how precious knowledge is anymore. Back in the old days…"
"All right, all right…" Lazar rubbed his head a bit, "Any other ways for borrowing books?"
"If you’re willing to pay two arcana points in advance, you can borrow up to forty books in a month, the same seven days for each book," said Alex. "We receive arcana points only in this case."
Obviously, the congress was encouraging sorcerers to use arcana points.
Lucien nodded, and then handed his badge to the librarian, "Forty books a month, then."
After taking away two points from Lucien’s badge using a magic circle, the librarian said to Lucien seriously, "You’re a sorcerer, so never be cheap with books and experiment materials. If you want to save money, save it by buying less magic items."
Lucien nodded, as he knew that this was a sincere suggestion.
Then he turned to Alex, "May I know what are the most cutting-edge research papers on soul and human body study?"
Alex thought a bit and answered, "A Few Thoughts about Soul as the Carrier of Consciousness, from Vicente Miranda, grand arcanist.
"Discussion about Elements Consisting of Soul and Special Electromagnetic Wave, from Vicente Miranda, grand arcanist.
...
"Why Regeneration is Possible: Analysis and Simulation of Mechanisms of Cytothesis, from Felipe, level four arcanist."
"Felipe?" Lucien was surprised as to how advanced Felipe’s research was. However, on a second thought, under the lead of the grand arcanist, Vicente Miranda, and with the solid knowledge foundation of the study of human body and magic creatures, the birth of such pioneering work was still reasonable.
This world was still different from Lucien’s original world, or say, this world was even more advanced in a sense.
"The paper shocked the whole congress. Mr. Felipe also earned great reputation with this paper and thus became a level four arcanist and one of the most promising sorcerers in the Hand of Paleness," said Lazar in awe.
Lucien nodded. Af first he thought Felipe was too arrogant, but now he realized that Felipe was for sure talented and very competitive.
Later, Lucien borrowed the two issues of Arcana and one issue of Magic, which published the papers mentioned by Alex, and another three books about the basic knowledge regarding soul.
Then he asked, "Mr. Alex, please help me to find the papers that determine the different natures of all the current existing elements, as well as the papers explaining the connections between some of the elements."
"I’d suggest you to start from reading the papers about redefining elements, Lucien," said Lazar confusedly. "It’s the basic part in arcana of the school of Element, right?"
"I hear you, Lazar. As you said, as an elemental sorcerer, I absolutely need to carefully read all the fundamental papers, and I’ll also borrow the corresponding books. At the same time, I also want to know the basic nature of each element and what’s going on in this field lately, for the convenience of my future research and study."
"I see. You know what you’re doing, my friend." Lazar nodded. Then he started considering which book he should borrow for himself.


"A falling star has brought the chaos. The throne of fate has lost its master. The nonbeliever who walks in light and darkness will make his debut."
In this magic world, knowledge is power.

"Honey, are we going to try some of these things at home?" Liu Yang asked the couple were reading books on advanced magic, body strengthening, magical control and among other things.
 
"Yes, we will try some of these things, since it is not good to do this kind of thing inside the school, it may raise some suspicion. Besides, neither of us wants to get the attention of the big clans, dad and mom warned us to stay away from them as much as possible. "Liu Xia spoke in a solemn tone, she was reminding Liu Yang about their parents' warnings.
 
"Honey, you don't have to remind me about this, I know that, besides, I think it will be impossible. Because my beautiful and dear wife is the most beautiful girl in school, and all the boys want to try to get close to you, even if it's hurting me, your husband. "Liu Yang spoke in a dispirited but ironic way. He knew most of the boys at school were interested in Liu Xia, and some of them might end up using extreme methods to take her. But it was a pity that this would be impossible, in the worst case, their biggest secret would be revealed.
 
"Honey, you must be proud of that, right? After all, you got my heart, the heart of the most beautiful girl in the world. "Liu Xia looked at Liu Yang in a coquettish manner and spoke the most arrogant words in the world. Liu Xia considered herself the most beautiful girl in the world, this was because Liu Yang considered Liu Xia the most beautiful girl he had ever met.
 
"Hehe ..." Liu Yang just smiled at those words, he joined his chair with hers, they were close to each other, to the point of touching. Liu Xia put her head on Liu Yang's shoulder and closed her eyes to enjoy this calm and serene moment.
 
"Honey, I'm glad I met you, this is the second biggest blessing I could ever receive in my life," Liu Xia said while keeping her eyes closed.
 
"What's first?" Liu Yang already knew the answer, as this scene has been repeated many times in the past.
 
"The first is to be born, otherwise I wasn't born, I wouldn't have a chance to meet you, my darling," Liu Xia said lovingly, this was one of the positions she liked, lying on Liu Yang's warm shoulder To her this was a very cozy place to sleep.
 
Looking at the beautiful young woman lying on his shoulder, Liu Yang just smiled and used his finger to brush the hair off her face, and then slid it down her face.
 
This scene seems to have come from a painting, a couple enjoying their most precious moments together calmly and serenely.
 
 
 
…
 
 
In the building where the training rooms were located on the third floor, this was the floor where only third-years were allowed to use. Each floor was used for one of three years. As the student passed the year, the equipment and benefits that the school gave were much greater.
 
The third -years training rooms were much bigger and better than the first year, but it couldn't compare with the class A representative's room, this was the best training room in the whole school and only one student had the right to use.
 
Inside the training room was a group of students practicing, they were having a friendly fight. They were Xiao Chun's group, they went to train after they left the cafeteria.
 
Tock… Tock…
 
Someone started to knock on the door, but the students inside didn't hear it because of the noise of the fights.
 
Zzzzzzzzz
 
The sound of a cell phone began to ring. Since the door was not opened after being knocked several times, the person on the other side took another approach, so he called the cell phone of one of the students inside.
 
"What happened?" Xiao Chun answered the phone, he asked in a nonchalant tone.
 
"Young master, may I come in first?" A voice came from the other side.
 
"Come in, the door is already unlocked" Xiao Chun unlocked the door after hanging up the phone. The door was unlocked using the cellphone code.
 
"Did you find out anything?" Xiao Chun went over to the young man, he had a submissive look when he looked at Xiao Chun, and he was even called a young master by the young man.
 
"I followed the couple to the library, they took some books they had reserved before, those books were for advanced mages. After that they went to one of the library study rooms, it looks like they had already rented a room for three people. After that, they haven't left until now.
 
I went to the security room and to see on camera what they were doing, and it looks like they were reading the books, side by side, but after a while. Junior Liu Xia lay on Junior Liu Yang's shoulder, she just closed her eyes and seemed to enjoy that moment. They also said a few things, but I couldn't figure out what it was because the cameras had no sound. "The young man reported everything he had seen.
 
This young man was able to enter the security room, where were the watchers who were looking at the cameras, because he used his identity as someone sent by a member of the Xiao clan, a member of the main clan. As the watchmen wanted to earn some points, they let the young man enter the room to see what was going on inside the study room, which Liu Yang and Liu Xia were using.
 
To maintain the privacy of student-to-student conversations, the school chose not to place sound recorders in rooms.
 
 
"I see… Bai Ming, good work. Now, I need to find a way to humiliate that rubbish that dares to stick with the woman I, Xiao Chun, like. "Xiao Chun said hatefully, he was very jealous and envious of Liu Yang, for having succeeded Liu Xia as his fianceé.
 
Bai Ming was a medium looking young man, he had a 3B on his arm.
 
"Young master, for now, you must be careful with your actions, it seems that young miss is a great friend of theirs" Bai Ming reminded Xiao Chun, from the way Xiao Mei spoke, he realized that the trio were great friends.
 
"What's the matter that they are great friends? I don't believe Xiao Mei will go against me because of them. Besides, I don't know where she met them, it looks like I'll have to investigate this. Bai Ming, investigate their past and compare with Xiao Mei's past. I want to know where and how long they know each other. "
 
Although he said he didn't care about Xiao Mei's opinion, Xiao Chun didn't want to risk it if the trio had known each other for a long time. Xiao Chun would have to think of a different way of dealing with Liu Yang, as he didn't want to piss off Xiao Mei.
 
Since Xiao Mei was the favorite granddaughter of the Xiao clan's most powerful elder, Xiao Chun would have to respect her a little. Even though they were cousins, the great elder paid more attention to Xiao Mei, and that fact made Xiao Chun envious and jealous.
 
"Yes, young master. I will ask the spies to gather information about those two. "
 
"Bai Ming, let's get on with training" Xiao Chun's mood was heavy, he was annoyed by the things that happened.
 
 
"Yes, young master"
 
The two joined the fight that was going on in the middle of the training room.

Liu Yang is a young mage who managed to awaken his powers later. Because of this, he was considered trash by others who woke up earlier. On the day of the awakening of his powers, he summoned a beautiful girl who became his partner.

She was beautiful and powerful, all she did was a hundred times as much as he did, but to her, everything he did was the most amazing thing in the world. She didn't have a name, so Liu Yang gave her that name, Liu Xia.

Liu Xia became his master and taught all the principles of magic to Liu Yang, all he needed to know, she taught. And the most important thing in training was her most important principle.

Her principle was: Be frugal when using magic.

Because of this, Liu Yang has always used the least amount of magic power possible when casting his spells.

Always using this principle in his training and life, Liu Yang has been nicknamed the Frugal Mage.

The class leadership positions were chosen the same as what I knew, Liu Kexing was the class rep, Zhao Yanyan was the group secretary, Xie Wei was the study commissary. The sports commissary was a sports specialty student called Li Dahu, his academic lessons were terrible, and we were always the last few in grades.

After announcing the class leadership positions, Ye Xiaoxiao got the male leaders to go to the staff office to carry books. Watching Liu Kesheng and co. walk out of the classroom full of pride, I found it rather humorous, they really are a bunch of kids, thinking that they became some sort of important official, in reality they were just a long term work that would work for the teacher without payment.

I flipped the textbook with the fragrance of ink, a nostalgic feeling emerged in my mind. Perhaps it is only a smell that people that have been students would remember, after working, I had to read a lot of books everyday, but never smelled this ink fragrance again.

Zhao Yanyan looked at my actions of smelling every single textbook in confusion, she also opened the textbook and smelled it, and asked confusingly, "Liu Lei, what are you smelling?"

I was lost in a daydream and so I answered without much thought, "Ink fragrance, after some years have past, you'll understand after you've grown up."

Zhao Yanyan looked at me as if I was an alien, "You're so weird, acting as if you're a lot older than me."

I freaked out and immediately laughed dryly, "Not really, I just heard it from a gege."

"Oh!" Zhao Yanyan nodded.

After seeing everyone receiving the books, Ye Xiaoxiao said to us, "Wrap up the books tonight with either kraft or calendar paper, no patterns on the wrapper. It'll be checked in class tomorrow!"

I was a bit speechless, isn't it just a textbook? Why put so much emphasis on it? We're in high school already, and yet we're treated like we're in primary school, but seeing no objections, I didn't say anything either. After all, the school was still the world of the teachers, who would dare to oppose them? Even though I was dissatisfied, I could only follow instructions.
The morning passed by quickly, and Guo Qing, who was sitting in front of me, asked me to have lunch with him. It seems like even though I had been reborn, history hadn't changed, we became great friends after Guo Qing and I had lunch. An unhappy thought emerged in my head, if history didn't change, then Zhao Yanyan still wouldn't become my girlfriend.

"What happened to you?" Guo Qing asked kindly after thinking I was sick due to seeing my face become stark white.

I shook my head, I'll think about those things in the future later. At least I got Guo Qing, who's a great friend, I couldn't help but admit that he extremely loyal. When we were in the second year, someone from Class D called Yu Wenrui bullied me, Guo Qing, who was usually cowardly, took up a chair and fought with him, but was beaten badly by Yu Wenrui causing him to unable to school for a week. However, he told me afterwards that if he had a chance to choose again, he would still rush in without thinking.

"Bro, you're good, the class beauty is now your desk mate!" seeing I was fine, Guo Qing started to chat with me again.

"Of course! I did tell you that she'll become my desk mate before!" I proclaimed shamelessly.

"Che, keep boasting. You got lucky, but let me tell you, if you actually have an interest in her, you have to make your move as soon as possible!" In my previous life, Guo Qing was the only person in high school that knew that I like Zhao Yanyan, he often liked to help me come up with plans when I was free, but I never dared to do anything.

Thinking to this point, I started laughing dryly, Guo Qing was deserving to have become my best friend, he noticed that I like Zhao Yanyan after knowing me for less than a day. However, what I said during seating arrangements was already so obvious that only idiots wouldn't understand.

Seeing that I didn't reply, Guo Qing anxiously said, "Don't tell me you have no interest, let me tell you, there are a lot of people in our class interested in her. In the morning I heard several boys in front of me talking about your desk mate! Our class rep also seems interested in her, since he kept looking over to your side when they were handing out books.
I opened my eyes wide and stared at Guo Qing in wonder. You managed to figure that out. Guo Qing isn't just a bit talented. But I knew, this kid was the same as me, he had a bunch of plans in private, yet would chicken out when it comes to taking action. In my previous life, we often discussed in private about how to become the center of attention, but we were still nobodies when we graduated from high school.

We discussed topics we were both interested in when we ate, although my personality changed greatly from my previous life, in my subconscious, Guo Qing was my best friend. After a meal, we already became buddies that could talk about everything. Of course, this everything was limited to Guo Qing, if I told him everything I would scare this teen so much that he would have mental issues.

When I returned to the classroom, I found Liu Kesheng sitting on my my chair, and was talking delightedly to my wife I decided on. Zhao Yanyan was clearly uninterested in what he was saying, and was flipping the textbook that was handed out today, only occasionally nodding to Liu Kesheng.

This guy really took actions quickly, and sat on my spot when I wasn't here. I walked by my seat and tapped the desk twice, and coldly said, "Excuse me."

Liu Kesheng was in the middle of speaking, and seeing my disruption, he said impatiently, "I'm discussing about the future of the class with the group secretary, wait a bit!"

I replied expressionlessly, "It's lunch time, you have no right in interfering with my stuff. If you want to talk about work, then please change a location!"

Liu Kesheng didn't think I would say that, and stood up unhappily. It should be known that he was also the class representative in middle school and people didn't dare to oppose his words, since just saying a bad thing about you to the class tutor was terrible.

Liu Kesheng snorted, and left. He didn't forget to stare at me, who dared to challenge his authority, in the eye.

Seeing Liu Kesheng leave, Zhao Yanyan said to me quietly, "Why did you talk to him like that, aren't you scared of him complaining about you to Ye laoshi?"

I laughed with disdain, "Then let him!"

Zhao Yanyan thought I was angry from my expression, and immediately explained, "Liu Lei, don't misunderstand, I'm not reprimanding you, I'm just scared that——"
Before she finished, I spoke to her with s smile, "Of course I misunderstood, I thought that fellow was disturbing my beautiful desk mate, so I chased him away."

"You!" Zhao Yanyan didn't think my expression would change that fast, nor I would be so straightforward. In truth, Zhao Yanyan already understood why Liu Kesheng was talking to her, she was already the target of admiration for many boys, so she understood Liu Kesheng's goal just after a few words. She just didn't think I would see through it, causing her to blush and turned her head away, "I'm not going to care about you anymore!"

I pretended to not care, and started humming a pop song that I hard in my previous life. I peaked at Zhao Yanyan, who was pretending to read, and I cold tell from her expression that she was clearly listening to my song.

A teen was still too soft in my eyes, there was no way on competing against me, an old fox that was used to reading emotions in the business industry. As I expected, Zhao Yanyan finally couldn't resist turning and asked, "Liu Lei, what song are you singing? How did I never heard of it?"

"Yi Sheng You Ni. You haven't heard it?" I asked casually. No, of course she hasn't heard it before, this song was only popularized after 2003. It is an old song to me, but it was a song that didn't exist in this era for Zhao Yanyan.

Yi Sheng You Ni? Zhao Yanyan blushed, she wasn't sure if Liu Lei said it deliberately or if there really is such a song. What was Yi Sheng You Ni, isn't this way too blunt? But seeing my attitude, she didn't retort.

"No," Zhao Yanyan shook her head. "But it is pretty good, who is it sung by?"

"This —— This, I also forgot about it!" I was also a bit unsure of what to say, I couldn't tell her that it is by Shiu Mu Nian Hua right, in this era, Shiu Mu Nian Hua was probably in high school like me.

"Oh! I wanted to buy a tape with it," Zhao Yanyan nodded her head in disappointment.

"But ——" I said replied seriously, "If you give me the money for a tape, I can sing it for you anytime."

Seeing my seriousness, Zhao Yanyan didn't think I would say that, she glanced a me a bit, but didn't say anything, then she looked down and stopped talking to me while pretending to study.
After this pointless chatter, my relationship with Zhao Yanyan also improved quite a bit. I was already very hapy with this effect, I have spoken more to her in this one day than the three years of high school in my previous life.

I didn't plan to build any kind of relationship with her in one day, although I was very confident, since getting a girl simple and easy, but getting too hasty with anything would only have the opposite effect. I did know this.

He died on the wedding of the girl he had a crush on, after a long and successful career. After convincing Yama to send him back to the world, he decides to fix the areas in which his life went wrong. Realizing the lack of love and romance in his past life, he sets out to conquer the hearts of various women.

PS

I do not own this novel

I just want to save this novel from oblivion since I always saw the "So Pure, So Flirtatious" but no VPAA novel associated with, because this novel is its Prequel.

A month has passed by and Blythe has already adjusted to living in the Academy dorm. She has already perfected all the necessary school spells needed for her daily activities. The only problem now is..

Everyone

Already

Had

A 

Group

With my current situation, my chances of actually being part of any group is second to none. I wasn't able to start school here and these people could have been friends for years now! 

Blythe flopped on her desk gloomed at the thought that she may never develop friends in this Academy.

"Ah! Voci!" 

Oh god.

Only one person calls her that and it pained her to actually get used to the nickname.

Taka ran towards her and sat next to her, looking at her intently.

"Taka, you could just call me Blythe, you know." 

"But where's the fun in that? I mean, I've never met anyone actually named loudmouth-"

"Shshshshhhh. People will hear!" she placed her hands in Taka's mouth making him blush a little.

"A-Anyway, how's friend searching? Any luck?" Taka shrugged himself.

"I tried. First, I followed the popular girls and see if I could be friends with them but then they just saw me as a stalker. I also tried to be part of the people who's jnto performing arts. They actually let me try, but I couldn't dance as fancy as them so I tried to show off my vocals. After I sang, it feels like I was completely ignored by them so I just gave up."

Taka laughed making Blythe more gloomy than she already is.

"I also tried May's group, Zia's group, Vivien's, Cora's, Lucy's, and Rea's group. And have failed." she explained further.

"Hey, why not become part of my group of friends?"

"What? You mean those girls who surround you all the time like a bunch of weeds? I never thought you'd actually call them friends." 

Taka chuckled.

"No, I actually have friends, you know."

"Ah..The 3 other popular guys you hang out with after school? No, thanks. Besides, that just reminds me of a corny drama I've seen about 4 boys and a girl." she explained.

"Huh? I've never heard of that drama before. Was there even a theater play about it to begin with?"

Of course, there isn't. It only exist in my past life where TV was actually a thing. Taka may be a friend but I don't even get to spend after class with him. It's either, A- he gets swarmed by his fanclub, or B- he gets called by the other popular guys who I never even saw yet since they always ask girls to get Taka for them. Either way, I always end up alone after class.

"Settle down now. Today's a very important lecture." Miss Sevee entered the room making all the students settle down.

"We will be discussing about the great war on Mt. Kambu. But first, who among you here would like to open the discussion on how the war started?" Miss Sevee started, making a few students raise their hands.

The great war on Mt. Kambu was how the war started. Before, demons were part of the everyday life of humans. The exchange of stocks between humans and demons were proof that we could share the world with them. I already know this history so, let me just..

her thoughts discontinued as she flopped on her desk.

"Voci, don't sleep again. you already slept the last time. Miss Sevee will surely notice you." Taka whispered to Blythe but was completely ignored. Taka sighed from Blythe's childish action.

"Yes, Miss Rivia." Miss Sevee pointed at the cute student who sat in the front.

"Like, if the demons didn't have like anger issues there wouldn't actually be a war, right girls?" 

"Right, Lucy!" the girls who sat next to her agreed then mockingly laughed.

That's wrong. The great war didn't start with the demon's anger issues!

"Yes, Miss Ainsley?" 

Blythe was shocked finding herself standing with all eyes on her. Taka was also shocked to see Blythe stand up during class since he's never actually seen her being active in class.

"T-The mix up." She said.

Everyone seemed to be confused as to what she was talking about.

"In the middle of a cargo exchange, someone meddled with the demon's goods which was sent by the humans. Instead of the receiving a year's supply of vegetables, they received rocks. However, this didn't anger the demons. They approached the nearby town they exchanged goods with. But when they got there, everyone accused them of lying and they were chased out from the town. Up until now, no one knew the cause of the meddled cargo."

Miss Sevee smiled. 

"While it is true that the demons got angry, the humans were as well. Instead of resolving the issue, the humans made swords from cores they have mined on the mountain and used this to defend themselves. They even resorted to learning magic thus the present generation of humans able to learn how to cast spells. But instead of defending, they shamefully attacked a nearby demon village, thus, the great Mt. Kambu war. The peace treaty of today has given a lot of beings, both humans and demons, a great sense of peace. While there are still some against it, the kingdoms of both have been working hard to show that humans and demons can coexist in the country of Avansur. Miss Rivia, please continue to read your books." Miss Sevee explained.

The class continued with Blythe falling asleep in the middle of the discussion. After class, Taka was, again, dragged by his fanclub leaving Blythe alone.

"Hey, new girl." Lucy approached her along with her subordinates.

"Huh?"

"Don't think just because you've read lika a few books means you're actually like smarter than me. So, don't get so cocky. I'll let that one time slip just because you sit next to Taka. Next time, I'll show you who you're messing with. C'mon girls, let's go to Taka." 

I have a name, you know. I can't believe I actually thought I'd be friends with them. I'm now ever so thankful they rejected me. Ah! I completely forgot! The new books arrive today!

Blythe stood up from where she sat and started walking to the library. The library isn't a very famous place in the Academy. While there are still some students who study there, it has never been to a point where it's jammed with students since people are more reliant on their spell casting abilities, which is 80% of their grades, than actually studying for written exams, which is only 20%. Even though the country of Avansur hosts a lot of theatrical plays, only a few people read the books and novels they originated from. But since Blythe was secretly a huge manga fan in her previous life, reading the novel books in the library is the closest thing she could read to a manga. 

The library today was empty like any usual day. The only time the library has a bit of students is before written examinations. Other than those days, it's completely deserted. Blythe approached the librarian desk where a guy wearing a hat, a mask, and a pair of glasses sat. While approaching, she noticed a bit of panic from the guy who sat there like he was rattling to escape.

"Hey! Um, is Kendra around? I really didn't know there were other student librarians in this Academy. Sorry, if I offended you somehow." she said smiling at the guy in the desk.

"You mean you don't recognize me?" The guy stood up and went near Blythe's face.

"A-Am I supposed to?" she was still smiling but her smile seemed to become a bit force.

"A-ah, no no." He said as he took off his glasses and mask then sighed with relief.

Blythe shocked as she pointed at him.

"No! Please, don't tell anyone!"
"You look just like Kendra!"

They simultaneously spoke. 

"Huh?"

"I mean, your facial structure is that of a guy but you do look like the male version of Kendra." Blythe explained.

"Blythe?" a soft girly voice called out from behind Blythe.

"Kendra!" Blythe rushed to hug this girl with long white hair and red eyes.

"I thought you wouldn't be here!" Blythe said.

"I went to greet the author who came and dropped by the new books for the library." she explained peaking at Blythe's back.

"I see, I see." Blythe said with her hand on her chin while nodding.

"Ah, Blythe, this is my twin brother, Kenny." 

"A pleasure to meet you." Kenny said.

"The pleasures all mine!"

"I asked him to watch the library for me while I went out to get the books. He offered to get them for me, but he didn't know where the meet up place was and he's not so good with directions." Kendra smiled.

"H-hey. you don't have to go through the details." Kenny said, embarrassed.

"That's so cool." Blythe said making Kendra and Kenny look at her.

"Having a twin... is so cool!" She said giving them a very large smile. 

The twins blushed at the sight of Blythe smiling. Kendra looked at Kenny as the feeling of hurt comes back from when her so-called friends used her to get near him.

"A-alright. I have to go now. See you at home, sis." Kenny said waving goodbye to Blythe and Kendra who just snapped back from reality.

"So, do you.. have it?" Blythe said.

"he-he." Kendra said as she held 3 books with the title The Fallen Kingdom book 2, 3, and 4. 

Blythe and Kendra screeched and giggled while fangirling on their favorite novel. 

After that, they both settled in the botanical part of the library where they had tea as they read the books.

As the sun rose, the blood stain on my dress grew darker with the sun's touch. But I would never imagine that the last thing I will see, are the tears of my lover. Thus, I held his face and tried to wipe them but they wouldn't stop. So, I kissed his cheek to comfort is broken heart as I drifted to.. an.. eter..nal.. sleep.

Kendra and Blythe teared up as they finished the first book. 

The Fallen Kingdom had made a huge impact on their friendship. They both found themselves in the library wanting to read the same book and since the library only had one copy, they had to read it together and found themselves completely hooked with the book. After a while, they forgot the awkwardness and just shared the fun reading they've been doing.

"I-I can't believe Miss Beth sacrificed herself for Edward." Blythe said still sobbing.

"M-me, too." Kendra sympathized.

"And who knew, Sicca had a twin! That's super plot twist!" Blythe said to Kendra.

"Y-yeah! I really thought Sicca was doing it all by herself!"

"Speaking of twin, how come you never told me you had a twin?" Blythe questioned making Kendra a bit self-conscious.

"I didn't know if I needed to.. or if I wanted to." 

"What do you mean?" Blythe wondered.

"Don't get me wrong, I love my brother. We have always been so close ever since. But even though we have the same face, we were always treated different. My brother was strong and smart. Because of this, he was allowed to do whatever he wants to do. I, on the other hand, was weak and fragile. I was always stuck with 8 hours of tutoring while my brother gets to play around a lot. I was sick a lot of times, too and that concerned our parents. Even though we have the same face, my brother was popular at school while I was stuck at home being sick again. Today, I don't get sick so often anymore but I guess I kinda found myself this heaven of a place. I got used to the quiet and I've been reading novels my whole life. I didn't tell you about my brother because I thought if you found out you'd leave me and this place. Ever since, I didn't know what a real friend is like because they always just turn out to use me to get close to him." Kendra explained.

"Ah, but what makes your brother so special? You went through a lot of sickness and you're still here today. Doesn't that make you the strong one?" 

Blythe's words shocked Kendra who then gave Blythe a soft warm smile. She then proceeded to hug Blythe tightly.

"H-hey! what's wrong Kendra???"

"Nothing. Just let me hug you for a while."

I'm so glad you're my first friend.

Kendra thought to herself. 

---
Meanwhile, in a village on the south.

"T-the goblins are attacking our crops!! Hurry to the town center!!" A citizen shouted to the group of people headed towards the town.

A pack of red eyed goblins roamed the crops and ate a bunch of them. At the same time, some of them were attacking civilians who ran away from their village which was being slaughtered to the ground by the rampaging goblins.

In the nearby town, the citizens who have escaped gathered while a meeting was held by the town council.

"What do we do, mayor? All the heroes are busy dealing with the Orcs and Giants in the North who were also rebeling against the peace treaty."

"Compared to orcs and giants, goblins are weak so they wouldn't send some of the heroes to us!"

"We can't even offer high bids in the guilds since they're all forced to close down!"

"This wouldn't have happened if that damn king, didn't sign that treaty!"

"Silence, Bart! You shall never bad mouth his highness!" 

The meeting became a chaotic one leading to the mayor silencing them by putting his hand down on the table loudly.

"I didn't think I'd resort to this. Send a message to the Royal Academy directed to Aiwell. And put the name... Dimples." 

"I'm sorry, mayor Snit? Dimples?"

"Yes, Dimples! Now, hurry up and send it you stupid son of b*tch!" the mayor shouted and threw a wine glass at the running messenger boy. 

The angry mayor looked at the bunch inside the meeting who have shut their mouth in fear. 

The night grew darker with the goblins breaking every last house in the village.

Back at the Academy, Blythe's heart raced as sceneries of demons cried out for her help. She woke up from the bad dream and calmed herself down. After a while, she opened her window and saw the great moon shine. Her thoughts were foggy with worries that the dreams she's been having lately have been consistent. 

If a time comes when she has to decide who she saves, will she save the humans who have betrayed her in her past life? Or the demons who have loved her in this new life? One thing's for sure, the story.. is just beginning.

Chisuke's memories flashed before her eyes as the bullet pierced through her heart. Her classmates were trembling and the police just arrived.

For Chisuke, the last of what she saw was the ground before completely blacking out.
