"It fits well doesn't it." Grace smiled as she admired my new clothing.

"I assume you picked it out?" 

She chuckled, "Well, of course. Who else?"

"You don't think it's a bit… much? I look like the Punisher?!"

"What's 'the Punisher?'" Grace turned her head to the side, clearly confused about my comparison.

"He's a character from a story in my old world. He wore black all of the time, and I was making a comparison to your… choices of clothing for me." I used my hands to display the jacket and pants 
she had gotten me.

"I need you to look at least a little intimidating. What is a Divine One without the look? Plus, I think you look handsome." Grace glanced at me. Wow… those crystal blue eyes really do something to you.

"If you two are done, we could use your help over here." Suri interjected and pointed to the wagon wheel that had sheared off when we hit a rather large hole in the road.

"Oh! Sorry about that!" I blushed and quickly ran over to the side of the wagon.

It had been a several days since we left our underground hideout and made our journey to meet with Felicia's father to discover more details of what I could do and explain the odd phenomenon that had occurred. Things were going well until one of the wheels decided to depart from our rear axle. We had stopped to quickly repair the wheel and continue. I moved next to Felicia and Suri as we lifted the wagon off the ground, Grace quickly slid the wheel back into place.

"Well, it's back on, but we still need a pin to put in it to keep it from sliding off the axle again." Felicia poked her finger through the hole where the pin had been previously. She pulled one of the several molds attached to her belt and moved the mold over the hole. She quickly crafted a pin that was the exact size needed for the journey.

"Wow! That's impressive. I'm guessing your father taught you this?" Felicia stopped and looked at me for a second, grimaced slightly, and ignored my question.

"Eli… I thought you would have learned by now that she doesn't want to talk about that." Grace scolded me. I figured that their relationship was sour but sheesh. This is beyond sour. I got into disputes with my parents often, but I could at least talk about them. 

"All done! It's getting late though. We should make camp here."

We pulled several large canvas tarps from the back of the wagon and pulled the four corners of each until they were stiff. We added long poles to the inside to prop each tent up while Suri began collecting firewood for a fire. After collecting the wood, Suri built a large fire, and we all crowded around the only source of heat for miles.

"We should reach your father's place by tomorrow." Grace glanced over at Felicia. Felicia had her head buried between her hands.

"Felicia, you ok?" Felicia glanced over at me.

"What do YOU think?" She sneered at me. It was a very different Felicia from when I had first met her. Her calm and collected demeanor had vanished completely. 

"Do you want to talk about—"

Before I could finish Felicia interjected. "What!? Talk about my father?! Talk about how terrible my childhood was!? Day after day utilizing all of my reserves of transmaculation. Passing out from exhaustion and then repeating! Day after day after day!" Tears began forming on her cheeks as she forcefully stared in my direction.

I was speechless… I had no idea. I felt guilty as if I had been antagonizing her up to this point. Building her up to the point until her feelings boiled over and spilled out. 

"I-I'm sorry Felicia." Felicia looked at me a few seconds longer and then ran into the woods away from the fire.

"Felicia, no! Don't run out there!" I called behind her.

"We told you not to bring it up Eli! She went through a lot when she was younger. More than any of us could imagine." Grace rubbed her hands in front of the fire.

"Someone needs to go get her you know…" Grace locked eyes with me.

"You guys have known her much longer… Shouldn't you be the ones to go get her?"

"We aren't the ones who caused the problem." Grace gave me a fierce look.

"Alright. Well, if I die out there bury me somewhere nice."

"Oh… you actually think we would care." Grace smile at me deviously. She had a dark side that I didn't even want to delve further into.

I made my way into the darkness. The forest was extremely thick and the "mushtingers" or the jelly-like animals I had learned about previously seemed to glow with a blue haze. Small branches cracked under the weight of my feet. Soon, I saw a faint green glow from the base of a tree. Felicia had formed a small orb of light near herself.

"Felicia… I'm sor—" Felicia cut me off.

"It's fine. Really." Felicia was sitting at the base of the tree slumped over with her head resting between her knees. 

"Felicia, I know it's hard and I'm sorry I'm the reason you're going."

"It's not your fault Eli. Grace and the others were right. My father is the only one who will know how to help you. It's just been hard. The memories of those days came rushing back, and it was just a bit much for me to handle at the time." Grace gave me a half smile. Her cheeks were still wet. I pushed my back against the trunk and slid down to sit beside Grace.

"Well, just know that… I'm here for you if you need anything. I don't know how much that is worth, but I'll do my best to make it worth something." 

Grace gave me a smile and pulled me into an embrace. Her dark blue hair draped over one of my shoulders. Her body gave off a flowery aroma. It was nice to have an intimate moment in between all of the death and destruction of the past several days.

"We should probably head back to the camp site. It's getting late." Felicia motioned for me to lead the way back. I stood up and brushed the dirt that had accumulated on me from the floor of the forest. We made our way quickly back to the campfire. 

"Hey! Good to see you two back in one piece!" Suri smiled from the opposite side of the campfire. Flames darted across her face in rapid succession.

"Yeah… we made it. So, what's the plan for tomorrow."

"We are likely going to leave at dawn. The longer we are out in the open, the worse it is for us. We need answers from Felicia's father." 

Grace gave me a determined stare. I can see why she made a good Empress. You could clearly see the pain behind her eyes, but it didn't stop her from moving forward. It was an extremely admirable trait for someone who had lost so much in the span of 48 hours. 

"I am flattered by your stare, but we need to get ready to get some rest." Grace giggled, commenting on the fact that I had been staring at her for an embarrassingly long time.

"Oh… well" I attempted to contemplate an excuse, but despite my best efforts, I failed miserably. Grace simply grinned and made her way to the tent.

"Well, I'll see you all in the morning." I made my way to my personal tent and pushed back the cover enveloping the front of the tent to reveal two small blankets and a pillow made with cloth and hay. It wasn't the most comfortable set up, but it was better than nothing. I pulled the top blanket to cover a majority of my body and rested my head on the tweed pillow. I truly hope that Felicia's father can help me. I want to protect these people. They all deserve more than what life has given them thus far, and I want to be the one to make fiction a reality for them.

Elijah Arrington was never a person many gave a second thought about. He and his sister, Abigail, lived alone while his parents worked out of town. However, one day, something odd happened while he made a trip into town. Within an instant, Eli is forced into an alternate world where his survival and the survival of those around him is in danger. Eli must push forward to protect those that mean everything to him, while also attempting to make it back to his own world. If he doesn't, he risks losing everything.

The series will have two chapters published each week. Depending on its popularity, more chapters may be published in quicker succession.

"Should I call you Li Na or...?"
'Mei Xing, call me Mei Xing. That's who I am?' Li Na screamed in her mind as she bites her tongue hard and held her breath. Scared that the words will be rushing out of her mouth and creating a greater mess.
Lu Jianjun also suddenly stopped as if his lips were sealed and saying her name will only bring a bad augury though he doesn't believe in that sort of thing yet can't help assuming what if does.
Whereas, Li Na sat there quietly, nor accepting or denying any of Lu Jianjun's allegations on her. His sudden silence was not expected but his cloudy dark cryptic eyes were peering something into her dark-chocolate, brown eyes. In that instant, she didn't know if she felt despair or anxiety deep inside as his ardent eyes were keen to a lion gazing at his prey.
Li Na wavered slightly before settling the ripples of fear, uneasiness havocing her. From this encounter at least she was more than clear that he's not the one she could mess with easily. With his overbearing, oppressive aura, he's extremely proficient in been self-calm and composed while his words conceive thunders and shaking grounds. He certainly knows how to raise and make someone's blood boiled, and raising the temperature before shoving them into the freezing zone as if pulling the life out of lungs and throwing a dead out stack of human flesh. He's too good doing this.
Lu Jianjun's pupil shrunk as his eyes were fixed on her but his mind was somewhere else still processing on facts and events. A tiny insight bothering him immensely, rationally he still couldn't believe it could actually happen. Just as something strikes him, he sat frozen for some ten seconds. It's all real, not some fiction!
As if dispirited, he cast his head back on the couch and slowly shut his eyes down as pondering over something.
Only after seeing Lu Jianjun retreating Li Na relaxed a bit. Gaining some color and light in her numb eyes. Oh my God, this guy has a spicy tone.
She imagined if she was so worn out and sweating profusely in front of him then she won't be surprised knowing that even strong grown-up men might wet their own pants due to the unexpected stress, pressure, and Lu Jianjun's great oppression.
He's quite an example and reason, why you should never mess with the quiet one. You can't underestimate him nor judge him, cause never know what are his thought or actions on you, because he won't be planning a murder out loud.
Li Na took a deep breath as in a swift movement, she pulled out the woolen cap she was wearing all along. As the tiny mist of sweat layered on her forehead and little strands of her hairs stick on her temples. She doesn't know if it was her own thinking or just a reflection of his thoughts that she felt like she hears her name from him as if he was about to say her name. What's that her hallucination?
Shortly, her exhausted and weakened body sank deep on the couch as if the whole time she was sitting on the edge while holding her breath. With her gloomy expressions, Li Na fanned her face with the cap in her hands. The jammed gears started to turn in her brain.
From the side shores, Lu Jun-hui was entirely dumbstruck and puzzled. He couldn't believe what did he just hear now? His big brother gave some advice to Li Na before saying something which is definitely out of his intelligence limits. But what made him dumb shock was the later part.
His brother was speaking to Li Na about the real Li Na? And asked her to tell him, 'Who is she?' How does that make sense?
But his brother was more confident and convinced when he said that last sentence. 'Should I call you Li Na or...' Or what? What else!
What the fuck! was he teasing and scolding some random girl. Lu Junhui horrifying and accusingly stared at the girl, who was somewhat lying and somewhat sitting on the couch, tired and worn out.
After a long muteness and stillness, Lu Jun-hui was finally able to ingest his brother's ominous words. Even if he couldn't, Lu Jun-hui still chose to blindly believe Lu Jianjun's words, regardless of truth or lie. His brows deepened as his eyes wide glared with confusion at the unknown girl. "Who are you?" he asked as shock, fear, and anxiety clouded his face and his expressions were like someone has given him a deadly dare to talk to a living ghost.
Hearing Lu Jun-hui's anxious tone, stirred his senses and Lu Jianjun slowly opened his eyes, his face remained impassive, his blurry gaze directed towards the ceiling as though some thoughts were bugging him, but on the surface, he appeared to be resolved. His ears were prepared to perceive her response. Though he was in no rush to hear her true confession cause Lu Jianjun himself didn't how he'll react.
Li Na rolled her eyes at Lu Jun-hui's question seemingly annoyed to hear the same words again. She motioned him to bring his ears closer before she glanced at Lu Jianjun and turning to Lu Jun-hui and slowly whispering to him, so only the two of them could be heard. "Will you please keep quiet for some time, and let me breathe in silence. Can't you see I'm busy? As I and your brother are already in between our serious conversation. So, shhh! I'm focusing... and let me mediate for our peace." She replied with a plastered smile whereas Lu Jun-hui replied with an 'Ohh' sound and nodded for her to continue the process.
Li Na grabbed a side cushion and buried her face. She also threw her head on the cushion behind her as worry and dark lines formed on her forehead.
'I'm totally screwed!! How am I suppose to fix this without getting caught?'
Lu Jun-hui's face instantly changed, seeing her choking and sandwiching herself. He couldn't help but whisper to her. "Aren't you supposed to be taking long breathes?"
Li Na clutched the cushion tightly like choking someone's throat. She gritted her teeth and said, "Aren't you supposed to shut your freaking mouth?" Lu Jun-hui was taken back from her change of expressions, which were replaced by an icy cold with a lethal glare. He retreated for his own welfare.
Undoubtedly, she has to give Lu Jianjun all the credit for cornering her to the point that she was convinced by him, to just confess everything and put a stamp on his assertions. Easy way!
After all, he had questioned her intentions not said that he'll sentence her to death if he knows who she really is. It was all just her heedlessness and him accumulating her knotholes. This is probably what she would have also done if she was him but not the way he did effortlessly.
Amid the frustration, her lips curled upwards. If he was really pointing her to be Mei Xing then it's going to be a tough battle. After all, she isn't an easy deal to crack.
'As...It begins with him, and no matter how hard he tries, he has to keep that in mind.'
Yet she acknowledges her one big mistake. The root cause of all the differences. That one little thing led to others. The most studious or idiotic act she has done in her entire two lives which was an attempt of flirting with this man.
'Seriously!! What was I even thinking before offering myself to this hellfire like a sacrifice? Was I that drunk in his bewitchery that day?'
Shit!! Do happens for real!
But How should I explain this? I'm going to exposed either way. And there's no way I can explain my personal interest in Zhang Han without confessing who I am!!
I can defend about been close to Mei Lein, telling me that she is Li Na's cousin sister. But how am I supposed to defend my relationship and personal interest in Zhang Han? It's MY, Mei Xing's personal interest, not even social interest or celebrity crush thing. I fucking knew Zhang Han's business deals because I was his fiance and we even discussed this.
Do I really have no option other than exposing my self?
Wait a minute! Can I even trust Lu Jianjun?
With her eyes closed, Li Na demanded. "Lu Jianjun, can we talk in private?" then she opened her eyes and turn to look at Lu Jun-hui and added. "Alone?"


Lu Jianjun stared at her naked back as she sat up clothing herself in sheets and darted towards the edge of the bed, wincing and moaning. "Ah...Jun, my body," she accused him.

Wrapping his arms around her waist, he nuzzled his face into her skin and coaxingly kissed the scanty of her back.

Instantly alerted, she turned around to stare at him with worry, "No, not again, we're not doing...hm...," but her mind was muddled with his stiffening kisses and her heart refused to reject him. 

'Oh, my God, I have unleashed a beast.'

And she found herself back in his arms beneath his body like an unbreakable cage.
...
A top-notch and former data scientist resigned from an intelligence agency. Her identity was kept secret but after a few months, she was deceived and shot dead.

Anyways they didn't know her real family background. She was a capable heir of the world's richest corporation.

As it said, Fortune favors the brave and proving it right.

Mei-Xing opened her eyes as an old lady called her: Li Na.

Li Na? What the Fuck? Is this what people called a miracle! 

She died and restored but lost everything... a loving family, her identity and most importantly an unusual love.

It's her new adventure loaded with love and lots of fun with her friends and mysterious love, she raised herself from the ashes.   

She couldn't believe she could be foolish. Nor she accepts to die cowardly. With all ups and downs, Li Na(Mei-Xing) craves to avenge her grave.

Whatever the reason and whoever the backstabber is? She'll let them know who's the real queen? 
....
Meanwhile, Lu Corporation's Charming King Lu Jianjun was puzzled. Is she for real? 

The bundle of a burden he owned was not the same. It's was as if her internal color and form were completely changed. 

Whenever he saw her she seemed different! 

Like a mystery for brain and an answer from the heart.
......

Satisfied, Beast smiled, he leaned and kissed her forehead. The sleeping beauty smiled and wrapped him in her arms. 

Well, that's his unbreakable cage!

This is a tale is about their path from ending to the beginning.

Tinashe was helpless against the tides and was going manic from the fear of death. Everything happened so fast and he didn't really have time to prepare. As he lamented his peril, the mandigo man with adequate swimming skills, got a hold of him and tugged him. Tinashe felt like he had been yanked by something strong, a manly grip that helped him out of a disastrous situation. John flowed with him until they reached a log that was lodged against land and a rock. 




He injected his free hand into the flesh of that log and used it to anchor themselves. John who could now see eye to eye with the distraught Tinashe, began assure him that he was going to be okay. Tinashe realized that this man was protecting him, but still felt stifled by the ordeal. The entire rainfall lasted for over 6 hours until it subsided into drizzle. John took this opportunity to swim towards a location with higher ground. Once, he had done so, the two of them began to talk.




"That was a close one. I am sorry I scared you off. Are you okay?" asked John, who was dragging the young man's body.
"Thank you, shit. I don't want to experience that again." he said, panting and coughing at the same time.
"Yeah. It would have been a shame to lose you so soon. You are the first person I have seen on this damn island." he said as they climbed over a trench like path.
"Yeah, thank you man. I am not much of a swimmer. What's your name, um, sir?" he said, getting the full scope of the man's body. 
"Call me John, and from what I can see from your life bar hovering over you, you're Tinashe Mahando, right?" he said, darting his eyes at the name highlighted on top of his visible life bar. Tinashe also noticed John's bar and then said, "Yeah, that's about right. I can see it, it's pretty crazy that I can see that life bar." 
"Yeah, I initially thought that this was the first stage of hell or something, some diabolical battle royal where 1000 people kill each other before proceeding to the epic finale of weeping and gnashing of teeth. Well, I honestly thought I would be in hell, but I am on a tropical paradise with typhoon like weather conditions reminiscing the movie 'Cast Away' by Tom Hanks. Weird right?" he said, as if engrossed in the art of delivering lines for a scripted monologue.
"Yeah, I have seen Cast Away." said Tinashe, who didn't know what to say about all the hints to hell in John's statement.




"Well Cast Away is a good film, I reckon the writing could have been tighter at certain points in the script. Well, I did find solace in having coconuts with faces all stacked up at my base as an alternative for people, but now that I have found someone, I won't have to participate in the act of mental degeneration." he said, grabbing a hold of a branch as he climbed up.
"You kept coconuts with faces? Um?" he asked, totally bewildered.
"Well don't think too much about it.Anyways how did you get here?" he asked, trying to dissuade him from thinking he was crazy.
"Get here?" he asked, confused by the context of the question.
"Yes here on the island. Tell me what you remember before and after you got here. The devil's in the details so make sure to give me everything." he said, holding him by the shoulder and looking into the boy's eyes. Tinashe told him everything concerning his death due to suicide via euthanasia in his past life and where he woke. John nodded and even had moments where he would stare with much interest. The fixation was so intense that Tinashe began to feel uncomfortable. John then went on to say, "So maybe this could be a purgatory for those who committed suicide with a rather sick twist of all the 1000 facing off against each other."




"What makes you think everyone is supposed to face off, why are you drawing such conclusions?" he asked, worried that he was making dangerous inferences.
"Well think about it logically. If we have bodies that behave and have facets of our progress compartmentalized by stats similar to what you'd find in a role playing game, plus the fact that killing other plays can yield you experience points via the 'Assimilation method' definitely means that leveling up will also have to deal with clashing with others." he said, with a stern look.
"Wait, this is my first time hearing about this how could you possibly know?" he asked, now doubtful of the man's reasoning capacity.
"Well let me show you then." he said, immediately instructing him to do a step by step entry on his custom goal. Tinashe read the information and wondered why he had never even considered searching this before. John noticed the horror in the boy's face and told him, "If this news flash breaks your heart, then you must throw away any ideas about this being a heavenly afterlife because with what that purple demon has said, it's pretty clear that we have to level up, survive the hostile elements like the wildlife, weather and finally other players. This is a survival game but we don't have to all adhere to whatever rules we have been given, that's why I want to form a group, hopefully find reasonable people so that we can survive and resist people who will try to take out others. The only issue is that people are hard to find. I hope you will be a decent person Tinashe."





"Um wow, that's a lot to take in, I am a decent guy. I don't think I have it in me, you know, murder, I don't think I would ever kill someone." he said, as he shivered. 
"Well hopefully you won't have to. I see that you are shivering, I will take you to my hideout. I was initially exploring the other side of island, hoping to find others and acquaint myself with nature until I got caught in the rain. I figured that it would be better to hide in a cave rather under a tree when I noticed the water levels rising. I am pretty sure I gave you quite the scare when I came in unannounced, so anyways I will treat you to something I learned recently from much experimentation. You look fairly young, do you drink?" he asked, interested in his response.
"Well, I wish I had before I had killed myself." he said, barely delivering his words due to his intense shiver.
"Well your virgin lips will surely learn the taste of alcohol in the afterlife. A pleasant catharsis awaits you ahead." he said, with a grin on his face. The two of them trotted in the muddy terrain as the winds were blowing and giving a ghastly eolowin tone that rustled the leaves and trees. The journey towards John's cave would take just under an hour and for some reason, the monkeys they came across, with their purple drenched thick fur, were subdued and didn't attack them. They seemed excited by John's presence and John even reassured Tinashe to stay calm. Tinashe remembered being clobbered by a monkey recently and nearly died, but these creatures seemed excited with a rather reverent attitude. He was beginning to feel safer in the arms of this man and hoped that he would help him out with all the questions he could not answer for himself, regarding the world of Goshem. 




John's cave looked remarkable and modern. It was lit by many of the night bugs and the walls were painted with some liquid that glowed in the dark. He had several custom made pillows, made using some animal's wool and some leather from an animal he slaughtered. Everything was stitched together using thin vines and silk from silkworms that were boiled in a clay pot after they had finished pupating. John seemed rather knowledgeable in the arts and crafts department and also made a contraption that looked like a stove made from some weird alloy and strung together with wood. He had a huge clay container that resembled a cooler box which contained fruits that had been fermented for 4 days. John handed Tinashe the wool made blanket and pillows to lie on.





 Tinashe obliged and reclined on the pillows. Sleeping on this was a real treat compared to lying on the rugged terrain. Tinashe glanced at him and before he could ask how he managed to pull all this off, John said, "You wish to know how I am this resourceful? Well before I became a famous novelist and writer who wore many hats, I used to be part of Do It Yourself styled show that involved crafting things based email requests. Relying on mostly the internet and specialized assistance from professionals, I got really useful skills."
"Wait you were a famous novelist? What books did you write?" he asked, astounded by this revelation.
"The player follows, the philanderer, The Eternal dragon of the litRPG, Sewn to perfection and my magnum opus, the artist's woe. That was the only book that I got critical praise for and it was the highlight of my career." he said, pouring the fermented fruit juice into clay tumblers.
"Wow! That's amazing, you were an established writer. Well to be honest, I was mostly into non-fiction and historical books, I never really found story books interesting." he said, as he snuggled into the pillows.




"Not even the classics like Dickens, Mark Twain, Oscar Wilde or George Orwell?" he asked, astonished by his lack of interest in literary fiction.
"Well, my dad and mom mostly encouraged me to reader factual books and stuff. So I was really interested in learning different cultures, their history, ethnicities and why they behaved a certain way. I think knowing more about your initial environment and opening your mind to how other societies coped with everything in the world fascinated me more than fictional stuff." he said, with a rather romanticized expression.
"A noble answer indeed, so what were you planning on becoming then, with your interests?" he asked as he handed him a cup of alcohol.





"Well, I think I would aim to be a Vice correspondent. You know Vice right, the journalist organisation that covers various issues and uncovers truths that mainstream media would rather not show because of political biases. I wanted to shed light on things." he said with a passionate look.
"Hmm, that sounds like a rather dangerous field but at the same time an interesting one. Travelling around the world, going to conflict zones and debunking the bullshit that major news networks try to feed the masses. That's interesting, but why would someone who wanted to pursue such a career terminate their life?" he asked, almost confused by why Tinashe had opted for suicide despite his ambitions.




"Well, I guess I wasn't strong enough to handle verbal abuse and bullying at school. I was quite the unique cookie and didn't follow the crowd. That made me popular for the wrong reasons and I was harassed alone. I wasn't used to the world being against me so I caved in to the pressure." he said, with a morose look as he drank the alcohol. The alcohol tasted sweet instead of sour and Tinashe wondered why his expectations were betrayed. Tinashe then asked him, "You seem like you were a celebrity or something in your past life, why did you commit suicide if you so much success?"
"Well brace yourself, I have got quite the tale to tell." he said, immediately drinking 3 shots as soon as he was done.

A young man struggles with unemployment, failed dreams and overall becoming a useless member in society and decides to kill himself. Upon seeking this method of death, he encounters a being from the alternative realm who gives him an option of starting his life over from scratch, from level 1 on his planet. This gives him the chance to finally carve out a path for himself that he could never do on earth.

If you enjoy the book, please do leave a book review or comment. I will try my best to respond to all of them so please do. It helps me out. Also, the paperback version of this novel will be available soon so if you want hardcopies, it will be available on Amazon.com

"Oh my," His mother says and poor Tion look up. We have not seen her come up behind us. "Look at you two lovebirds." She says and smiles at us, it is not that nice a smile. One thing is not liking guys myself. But he should at least not feel ashamed of who he is. Maybe I am hamfisted and stupid, but I do it with the best intention. "Really?" His mother says and I shrug. "I have no problem treating a guy like a girl," I tell her and smile. She stays there for a moment and then nods. "Would you be so kind as to come and see me in my chambers when you are done." She says and I answer before Tion "Certainly, it would be an honour to be allowed in your chambers." I say and bow my head with a show of respect. Real respect is hard when her "daughter" is sitting beside me.

Poor Tion is red with shame when his mother leaves. "Are you for real?" He asks me and I shrug. "Don't know probably did something stupid, but on the other hand I have no problem with you dressing like a girl and hitting on guys," I say to him and smirk when this really dawns on him. We clean ourselves up, before dressing. "Yeah, that certainly could have gone better," Tion says and look at me. "Damned good time though." He smirks and shows off a more confident side to him. "Yeah, but like all good times, there is nothing but trouble when they end," I say and we leave the bathing chambers.

"I wish to follow you to your school." Tion tells me as we walk through the mansion. "I wish to learn your technique and hope you can keep your promise." I nod to her in agreement, having her with me would be a boon. The body is malleable so changing the characteristics of the body should be possible without surgery, but even if I resort to surgery I am certain I can do it fine.

We go straight for Nuans chambers with Tion showing the way. On the way, I try to actually think through what I feel for Tion. At the moment though he/she is nothing more than just this scene. I kind of feel his mother will not feel the same way however Tion might feel about it. I don't even know what the etiquette is in this situation, no more the law. Because as Tiong said, Nuan is the head of the household after her husband died. That would mean that there are no sons, even though Tion is one. I kind of get a headache when I think of all this.

Tion opens the door and steps back letting me enter first. The room is larger than the guest room me and my companions share in the other wing. Nicely decorated with a black and white base in the beams and thin paper walls adorned with statues, paintings and pottery. Where we entered the floor is level with the hall, but just a bit further in the floor is raised. Nuan sits on this raised part of the room and beside her sits another spitting image of her, but younger. This must be Nuans actual daughter.

"Greetings honourable matron of the Nuin family," I say when I enter and bow in the proper fashion after my villages teaching. I can feel Tion being behind me and don't know why he does not precedes me in here. "Greetings Su Ming," Nuan says with a voice full of strain for some reason. I cannot fathom why there is the strain between us other than her jus catching me getting a BJ from her son, presumed daughter. 

"Why Tion." The other daughter breaks in and I look behind me to see Tion sitting there. He sits a respectable distance behind me as if he is part of my retinue. He even looks to me for permission before he speaks. Of course, I give it. "Sorry dearest sister, I lapsed." The girl, maybe woman huffs and look at Tion with sorry in her eyes. "He is sent from grandfather." She says this with a straight face as if this should tell me everything. "Tiong came to take you to him and then you just throw it away?" Her anger is palpable, there is some big scandal unravelling with me in the middle and I have no idea what it is. Had this been in the village and two guys had been caught going at it there would be shame on their families, but really no consequences all that big. Sex is sex after all and there is the threat of pregnancy that causes the real problems. And we did not even have sex? That is if sex means penetration of some kind.

I take a deep breath and exhales to centre myself before I butt in. "Okay, I have no idea what is going on here and I see no reason for there to really be a problem," I say to the two ladies and get angry stares back from them. "No problem, really?" Nuan says before her daughter can speak. I go on before I lose my nerve "Yes, no problem. So Tion is your son, I presume that if it was publicly known you would have to let him run the family. That would cause all sorts of problem, especially now when he has been known as your "daughter" for so long." I say and get nods from the two ladies. "Well, I see no great problem then, I have no reason to tell. Either we don't speak of it again or Tion comes with me. And we sort it out later, I what is really the problem if I don't tell anyone. A small scandal that one of the households daughters had sex with a guest?" After my rant, if delivered smoothly, is done I shut up and so does the others in the room.

"Fuck control yourself Tion." His sister says at last and I turn to see Tion look at me with begging eyes. "Su seems to bring out the worst in your sister," Nuan says and I disregard telling of how she played with me. "Okay, I can see why you might want to keep this secret. No gain now in saying anything." Nuan says and I smile "Yes, and it has been pointed out to me by several people that I should pass as silently by as possible here." I say and they nod. "So we both have something on the other?" Nuans daughter asks and Nuan nods. "Then this might be sorted more easily. I still think Tion needs to leave." The unnamed daughter says and looks between us. I feel a tug at my arm and when I turn I see Tion receding and again asking for permission to speak. "Go ahead, don't mind me," I say to let know he can speak freely. For some reason, it seems he really need my permission. I wonder why I have not stopped him.

"I wish to stay with Ming," Tion says in a very quiet voice. So quiet that I for some time miss what he actually says. The two women at the podium also stay silent for a moment. Then his sister draws out a long "fuuuck" and turns to their mother. "We really should never have raised him like we did." She says and even rises and begin looking for something. "You are right dear, but done is done." Again I am out of the loop, but for some reason this time I know it really is not my fault. "But why, Tion why?" His mother says in a dejected tone. "Ming has some very interesting ideas about how to turn me into a real woman, the body I was born to have," Tion says. 

Nuans sister has found what she was looking for in a cupboard on the side and now brings over three glasses and a bottle. She sits down on the edge and pours a drink for all of us. "So, little Tion has found her master." She says sitting there like a guy drinking. She hands a glass to me and another to her mother. "Well one had to be raised a guy and another a girl." Her mother says and then begin explaining the real trouble for them. Nin, Tion's sister, and Tion are twins. Their father knew one was a girl and the other a boy, but not which was which. So in a bid to take more power, their mother switched them. Having the girl dressed as a boy and the boy as a girl the first years. Happy with this state of affairs their father wrote his will all around this division, leaving almost nothing for the girl. The state of laws being what they are, fragmented and overlapping, their mother moved to where if raised as a boy a girl would have legal power. This legal fiction would create a matriarchy in their part of the clan and be a real change. Poor Tion, on the other hand, would have to be raised as a girl regardless of where they lived because of the will. The convoluted shenanigans the family went through for this legal fiction is strange for me to hear and I am not able to understand them. In the end, the whole tale boiled down to "Stupid shit people do for power" in my mind.

"Okay, I kind of understand what happened." I say, lying my ass off, "But what has this to do with Tion wishing to be a girl?" I ask and look up at the two ladies sitting on the edge drinking. "Well, the female Dao in my father's clan is such that it moulds the practitioner to wish to be feminine as to look better for the men. " Nin says and take another swig of the drink. I think it is whisky of some sort, brown and tastes foul. 

"Okay, and why is this a problem?" I ask further, so big deal if he is a girl even to the law why can't he come with me for some time and be turned into a girl. "Tion is in charge of our branch of the banking system," Nuan tells men and sigh. "That really is a weak excuse to throw at your son," Tion says and I have to agree. They look at the two of us and kind of do a mental shrug. "Well good luck and I hope you two have a happy life," Nuan says and rises, she is a fine looking lady and nice, but so cold. "We will respect your decision and find a way to make it work," Nin tells me and then look over at Tion, maybe for the first time seeing him, or maybe just dismissing him, I don't know. "Good luck sister, hope you are happy with your choice." She says and begins to leave. I sigh and empty my glass. "Mind if we stay here and talk it over?" I ask Nin and she shakes her head. I look at that fine ass as she walks out. "Assholes," I say when they have left, low though since the walls might listen.

"This is a right mess," I say and look over at Tion, he only nods. I rise and find another glass to drink from. "Know if they have any more palatable stuff here?" I ask Tion before I pour drinks for us. It burns and tastes rotten the drink the ladies served. We sit in silence for some time drinking together and looking at each other. "Think you really can turn me into a girl?" Tion says with a worried voice. I laugh since if that is what he worries about we will have no problems. "Oh yeah," I say "That is easy. Not like you will be able to bear children or anything without us doing some major work. But the looks, no problem." I say and smile. "Lot of work, but not an actual problem." He looks forlorn for a moment "Then what are you worried about?" And I tell him of the trouble with the sect, worries for my soon to be wife, the farm and all the other stuff weighing in my shoulders. We shoot the shit for some time and he helps me not to worry about all the things he calls "little things."

I also get answers to some questions I have been asking off of him. "What is the deal with red light districts?" I ask him and he laughs at my innocence. "Men are hypocrites." He tells me and we laugh, it is certainly true.

Boiled egg, lemon cookie - The Doctor's Cure 

A man had been feeling sick for several days. Finally he decided to try a new doctor who had just moved into town, after hearing the man's symptoms and listening to his belly with a stethoscope the doctor told him that he had a tapeworm. 

"Oh, that sounds bad. How can I get rid of it?" asked the man. 

"Come in tomorrow and bring with you a hard boiled egg and a lemon cookie," said the doctor. When he saw a puzzled look cross the man's face, he said, "Trust me. I'm the doctor." 

So, the next day the man brings in the hard boiled egg and the lemon cookie. "Drop your pants, and bend over," says the doctor. 

"What?" says the man. 

"Trust me. I'm the doctor," says the doctor. 

So, the man drops his pants and bends over. SWOOSH! The doctor shoves the egg up his rear. 

"Whoa! Hold on a minute, Jack!" screams the man. 

"Hold still and trust me. I'm the doctor," says the doctor. 

About a minute later, SWOOSH! up goes the lemon cookie. 

"Now pull up your pants and come back tomorrow with a hard boiled egg and a lemon cookie," says the doctor. 

As the infuriated man starts to protest the doctor says, "Trust me. I'm the doctor." 

So, the man comes in the next day and he brings the hard boiled egg and the lemon cookie. "Drop your pants and bend over," says the doctor. 

"This again?" yells the man. 

"Trust me. I'm the doctor," says the doctor. 

So, the man drops his pants and bends over. SWOOSH! The doctor shoves the egg up his rear. 

"Oh! I can't believe I'm doing this!" says the man. 

"Hold still now and trust me. I'm the doctor," says the doctor. 

About a minute later, SWOOSH! up goes the lemon cookie. 

"Now pull up your pants and come back tomorrow with another hard boiled egg and another lemon cookie," says the doctor. 

As the man starts to shake his head the doctor says, "Trust me. I'm the doctor." 

So, this goes on all week until one day, after the man pulls up his pants, the doctor says, "Now come in tomorrow and bring a hard boiled egg and a hammer." As the man turns pale the doctor says, "Trust me. I'm the doctor." 

The man gets no sleep that night worried to death about what the hammer is going to feel like when it gets shoved up his ass. He almost stays home, but he still feels sick. So far the treatments haven't helped and he's afraid he'll have to start over if he goes to a new doctor. 

The man comes in the next day and he brings the hard boiled egg and the hammer. "Drop your pants and bend over," says the doctor. 

"But, why do we need a hammer?" asks the man nervously. 

"Trust me. I'm the doctor," says the doctor. 

The man drops his pants and bends over. SWOOSH! The doctor shoves the egg up his rear. 

"Please!" says the man, terrified of what is to come next. 

"Hold still and trust me. I'm the doctor," says the doctor. 

About a minute later, the man is about to pass out from terror and he is involuntarily clenching his rear as tight as he can. But nothing happens. Several more minutes pass and he starts to relax. The man is about to straighten up and ask the doctor what happened when the tapeworm sticks its head out his rear end and yells, "Where's my lemon cookie?!" 

...and WHAM! Down comes the hammer.

NOTE: Please play "Fact-Fiction" by Mads Langer to get the full effect of the chapter! 


Something that was hard to notice was that even in the happiest songs, even the ones that seemed the most fun, Qiu Yue's eyes could never completely indulge in the performances. 

Half way through the concert, she rushed backstage to change outfits and met Qiao Feng along the way. She smiled at Qiao Feng but it caused his heart to ache painfully. Why was it that he could feel that something was missing? But he never had a chance to say anything to her as she rushed back on stage with that same porcelain smile. So fragile as though a single wrong move could shatter it. 

It wasn't that Qiu Yue was always sad. She wasn't. She did do her best and she had found somewhat of a solace in comforting others, and yet everyday she'd go back to thoughts of him, of Huo Zi Feng, and then it felt like she was drowning all over again. 


Finally it was time for the last song of the day and this was one Qiu Yue needed Qiao Feng to sing with her. 

"Alright, guys! The night is coming to an end. There's an unfortunate announcement... Mr. Yu Wang is unable to make it here today, so an anonymous singer will be filling in for him. I hope you guys can support us as this is the song I wrote with all my feelings." 

Even the audience could feel the shift in the air as Qiu Yue's voice seemed to carry weight when she spoke. 

Qiao Feng stood behind the stage, fitted with a mic and clothing, where only his shadow was shown on the screen while Qiu Yue stood in the front. 

It was meant to be in the image of a couple standing together, yet while one seemed real, and the other was a shadow. 

There was nothing special about this performance, no effects, nothing. 

Qiu Yue stood alone with a guitar and gently strummed the strings with a saddening and yet perhaps the most real emotion on her face. 

It was Qiao Feng's voice that rang out in the quiet stadium. 

"Imagine a world without me
Say you're falling apart
Let's pretend you've missed me for a while"

"Wouldn't you say you were lonely and love was breaking your heart
Put on your Sunday best and fake a smile" 

Different from the original she'd heard, Qiu Yue had wanted to make her arrangement slower, with more impact. 

Qiu Yue's voice took over as she sang from the next line. It was clear and sweet but her voice also held a deeper, wistful meaning, one only she knew about. 

"I dream of dreaming dreams of him"

"In twilight he's a constant blur"

"The picture is clear and I'm still fact he's fiction"



"Remember the night you were with me"

"Fell asleep by my side" 

"Strangers together - your hand in mine" 

Qiu Yue's eyes were filled with reminiscence as she thought back to the days they'd just fallen asleep in the office. Just them. And how all the comfort in the world could never make her feel that way. 

"How come we never came closer
When all the stars were aligned" 

"I thought we had a moment" 

Touching the wedding band around her neck, the heavy lump in her throat just started to get heavier with each verse. 


"I dream of dreaming dreams of him"

"In twilight he's a constant blur" 

Qiu Yue was scared that maybe she'd one day forget the memories they'd made, his appearance and his soul... That thought scared her so much and she'd barely been able to put it to words. 

"The picture is clear and I'm still fact he's fiction" 

"I seem to miss the missing part, he's still my favorite work of art" 

"The picture is clear and I'm still fact he's fiction" 

For some reason she was reminded of the fact that she'd literally read his story in a book. Before she'd sang these words, she hadn't realized how true they rang to her. 

A mirthless smile twisted her lips. 



"No nothing has changed, cause I'm still fact he's fiction" 

"Or I may be imperfectly formed in this contradiction yeah" 

She truly didn't know who she was. She just felt tired. She really did try to be happy but it was hard. Everyday, everyday she would wake up and think of him and everyday it would hit her, that she'd lost him. 

Her voice started to crack and tremble as her eyes blurred with tears. 

She really didn't want to cry. She'd gotten so good at pretending so why? Why was it that... the moment she thought of him she couldn't stop herself. 


"I dream of dreaming dreams of her
In twilight he's a constant blur
The picture is clear and I'm still fact he's fiction yeah" 

"Oh yeah"


"Oh"

Even as her voice trembled she didn't stop singing. This was the one song she couldn't let go of. 


"I fell in love with his longing - let's just say that I never found out" 

"Who it was he never found in me" 

She wanted to go home. 

She really wanted to go back. She just wanted to curl up in his warmth and fall asleep forever. 

The moment the song ended, she stopped playing as the tears bubbled up all of a sudden. she'd even gone wrong on a few notes as her hands were trembling too much. 

The audience had long gone silent. Anyone could see that she'd been overcome with emotions that were still fresh and would always be real. 

She really didn't want to cry. 

She bit her lip hard as she covered her eyes with her hands, just the sound of her light crying filled the stadium. 

Everyone stayed silent for a few seconds before the fans snapped back and one of them asked her to not cry.

"We're always here!" 

Only another fan would understand the pain of seeing one's idol cry. It was so hard because you truly wanted to comfort them but how were they supposed to? 



'But I can't...' 

'I don't want to do that anymore.' 

And yet what she did was the exact opposite. 

She just... smiled. Even though her red eyes bore witness of her tears, all she did was smile. 

She boxed up her tears, her feelings. 

Smile. 

Smile. 

Smile.

PATREON: Qiu_Yue     (Crystall1z3d) 



This reverse harem novel, Qiu Yue didn't like at all. She wondered how she'd ended up with such a system, did her hate for harem reach such heights? 

Female Lead has opened a free tofu stall. 

Male lead is annoying Qiu Yue with passion. 

This poor main character who isn't an assassin, isn't a doctor, isn't even a writer! 

Main character: Wait, why are you coming here! You're supposed to hate me! Stop, STOP. 

And the System - ahhhh she's out picking up guys. ╮(－_－)╭

My alarm is ringing and I need to wake up now to go to work, I open my cellphone to check my inbox and it's nothing, no text or chat from anyone for almost 6 months after the break up with my ex-girlfriend, same day everyday but it brightens up day by day, I guess I'm get used to it now. The most important thing is I need to earn money for my brother he is the only family Left after my parents got a flight accident when they are in the business trip, my dad unpaid bills made us to bankruptcy.
I should cook first before I leave because Zyron will wake up soon to go to school. After I prepared everything, I am ready now to go to work, I need to walk fast to get in to the bus station, the busses interval took an hour, if I come there late, I won't be able to make it on time.
My name is Ivan and this is my everyday life, I'm already 25 years old and I don't have any accomplishment at all, my ex-girlfriend brake up with me because I don't have time for her, I keep explaining to her that I need to do this for the future but she said, what is the future if we don't build a quality time together. Now here is my story of my normal life that change because I fall to the river.
So, here's what happened, when I am walking going to the bus station, there was an old lady trying to cross the road from the other side, and the bus is there now getting some passenger, I don't have choice but to help her first, I guess after I cross her to the other side of the street I can run fast and catch the bus. Then I need to bear with her of course, then finally I manage to cross her on the other side and I run as fast as I could to catch the bus, and it's almost running, luckily, I grab the bar from the door.
What a day, so the same routine as always, I walk from the terminal of the bus station going to the building were my office located since it's not too far, all I need is to cross the bridge, when I'm walking, I saw a man running and a lady is screaming, "Help. Help. Help, somebody help me my bag is stolen", then I didn't think twice, I just run towards the man and grab him, now we are lying on the floor and the bag of the lady has been dropped, so I get the her bag and gave it to her, then suddenly the man who stole the bag pushes me very hard and I'm out of balance so I don't have anything to grab on them head hit on the bar of the bridge before I fell on the river.
I guess I lost consciousness when I hit the bar very hard so I woke up here, in the river side but not in the city, I'm in the forest?
I'm confused what happened, I can't remember anything, so I get up and my head still hurt, I walk around to get near the bridge but it's unusual, there's a lot of fishes in the river with unusual kind, I haven't seen that big and color before, it's like a shark swimming in the river, the leaves of the trees are also different, it's like I'm in the foreign country. So I walk while observing the place, I haven't been here before, it's almost 30 minutes now since I walk in the river side then finally see the bridge, It's weird when I get there the sky seems change its color to purple, no vehicle is moving no one around and it's so quiet all over the place, the place now is familiar but It's unusual because no one is around and it's like 5pm that the sun is almost set, I go to the building were my office is but it seems no one is around, I sat on the stair because I'm tired of walking that long. I'm confused, what happened after I hit the river, is everything alright? I get in the building and shouting Hello is anybody here? Then I heard some footsteps, so I followed it, then I saw a girl hiding and run into the room, she close the door then I run and try to open that door, when I found her she pushes me, but I said, hey wait, wait, what is happening here I need an explanation", then she turn around and calm down a bit, "hey, I'm sorry, this area is restricted and I thought you are one of them, let's get out of here quick before it gets dark and I will explain to you everything in the hideout.
Then we run as fast as we could to go to their hide out and it's a tunnel inside the city, she light up the lamp and we walk down, it seems this is the drainage system of the city but no water at all, I'm started to get creep on the situation, I just immediately think of my brother, and I'm thinking to go to the his school, but I need to know first what happened.
Now when we finally reach the hideout, I just saw 20 people, then I ask her what happen, she said, let's prepare first the dinner because our comrades are hungry for sure, the hunters are already here, I'm the one who cooks, would you help me?" I just yes to it.
When we walk to the kitchen, it just bothered me, everyone is staring at me, then she made the silent gone by telling, "Guys I will introduce him to you later, we just need to cook first okay?" then they continue what they are doing. When we are in the kitchen, I saw a bunch of weird fishes and not just fish, it's gigantic, I never seen one before even in national geographic, so in my curiosity I just ask, "hey, is this a normal fish?" she laugh and said "what do you think this is?, just kidding, this is a mutated fish from the virus spread last 10 years ago, by the way, I never get your name yet", with a confused face, I just answered, yeah, I'm Ivan and I'm only nearby here but above this tunnel, how about you what is your name?" she said her name is Aerith, I've ask what happened why they are here underground, she said, after the pandemic happened 10 years ago, a virus spread all over the world and kills 90% of human, we are the only survivor in this area and we haven't yet know how to stop or kill the virus, all we just do is to run away from those who is infected or kill them by slicing their head or burn them. The virus infected the animal and human then we found out that also plants and trees, it's like when the virus infected the human, it decays the body inside, starting from the lungs going to the stomach, the only cell remains is the fibered muscle, the heart still remain and it still alive, when we saw the news last 10 years ago broadcast, the autopsy of the infected one,  we saw that the body is almost empty and the only part remain is the heart inside, intestine, lungs and other parts were gone.
We want to hope for the cure but the virus eats the human flesh, and even if we found a cure, how they will live? So far, the virus can be transmitted through fresh water, we need to boil first our water before we use it. The virus can be killed in heat specially in 25-degree Celsius, if you see the virus can only infect much the human body specially the brains and the internal parts technically all humans are alive but it's like the fiction character zombies but the difference is they don't eat flesh, they just drink water from the river and vomit, the vomit from them are the viruses which if an air droplets touches your skin, in four hours you will see the symptoms, first you will sneeze so many times, then you will have a runny nose, next 2 hours you will feel cold and you will have a dry cough, then it feels like your throat is burning and you will have dry flam until you will hard to breath, you will also have a flu and hard to move due to pain all over your body then the next hour you will feel thirsty then after five hours you will lost consciousness then the next 12 hours your color will be darker and your breath have foul smell like rotten egg  and you are afraid to heat and the sunlight, then that's it, you cannot recognize us anymore then you will drink a lot and vomit, Not only humans but animals and plants. Like what I've said, animals change as well in terms of physical changes, they became huge and monstrous, we tested it and they are still edible, we need to do it to live, we just boiled it from 20 to 30 minutes before we cook it. In time we also notice that the plants and trees near the river did change as well, they become huge and spiky, every leaves of the trees and plants become thicker and every trunks of it happen to have thorns, so far we do not eat vegetable, we just hunt animals, oh before I forget, animals also breed fast, they multiply so fast that they can be a thousand in just one month, so we will not be hungry, they are also afraid in the sunlight so it's easy for us to hunt them because the are just hiding under the tree leaves".
Hey Ivan, how did you get there and where are you from? She ask me then I just replied, actually I don't know if you believe me, I don't know if I belong here, I remember, I just save a girl from a snatcher then the snatcher pushes me and I fall to the bridge then the last thing I remember was I'm at the shore of the river then I walk like almost kilometer away to go near to the bridge where I fell, then I was confused what happened here, this is not what I was before I fell on that river, then I think to walk in the office on the same building I saw you. 
Then I said, I need to find my brother at the school, I know he is waiting there, I always pick up my brother after my work, maybe he is still waiting there. 
Then, I am about to leave the tunnel, she stops me, she said" you idiot, you cannot leave now, it's dark, do you want to kill yourself? If you get infected, you cannot come here anymore, maybe your brother is safe so we can go tomorrow, I will accompany you, I know the short cut from here going to school"
Then I calm down, so we eat the dinner and she introduce me to all of her comrades. When we finish eating dinner, she guides me to the place where I can rest and sleep, the tunnel is like a barracks, it is complete facility, like a military facility. Every person has its own room, and it's not just ordinary room, they have large bed, drawer, and weapon shelf.
Aerith is at the next door, she said if I need something just knock it. I can't sleep that night, thinking how my brother is.

I died that all you need to know. I died to a very boring and stupid reason. I trusted the wrong person, and he killed me.
*sigh*
I looked outside my bedroom window looking at night sky and trying to justify I deserve a second chance in life and all I did before was better for everyone including me. But that's sound like a complete bullshit.
*sigh*
I tried scratching my head where my bandage was irritating me. 'Fuck this stupid head thing.' I screamed internally.
I fall back on my bed and said out loud 'I deserve a second chance in life, I deserve a second chance in life, I deserve a second chance in life. But do I deserve to be Lily Evans?'
I looked at my 5-year-old hands and tried again to reason I have earned merit, in my life to be given a second chance and to be give a boon of magic also.
'Am I really going to live in this magic world?' I felt shiver run down my spine.
'Harry Potter world Hummm, I have read countless fan-fiction.' But in fan-fiction there was a distinct type of MC being all good or all evil? You can tell that by reading about them from the start. How they go about approaching people and how they all have the halo of all going according to the plan. Rarely they have any issue with plot holes, like how can a baby defeat the power dark lord or how Defence Against The Dark Arts potion is Curse and no one was able to break it. There are multiple plot issue that was never talked by Rowling and it was taken up by fan-fiction society to manipulate as they want.
'Wait am a Main Character?' I sat up again with frown on my face. In the last 50+ year life I have all way like as I wanted and worked hard to get what I wanted. Money, Fame, lovers..husbands.
Should I just live it like that, or should I be like Lily even is going to be (according to the books or fan fiction). Goodie two shoes, know it all, good at charms, wife of Potter and mother to Harry Potter? Was there more to Lily Potter I mean Evens than that?
'OK stop this and start thinking as you. What would you do'?
IF I was Lily Evans then first, I need to remove the status of muggle born from me. This is trick and will make smarts and money but this NEED to be done. Second, I must decide should I connect with Severus Snape or not? I need to stay neutral in this war. 
'Should I leave British Isles?' No, I need to qualify as full grow witch and then I can do what I want.
Potter and Black, I know lot about them due to books and fan-fiction, what is true and what real that is what I need to figure out.
With all these thought I went to sleep having a weird nightmare of running while getting chased by dogs with knife in their mouths and running with ravens by my side.

Next morning my mother or Lily mother came in and start fussing over me. I just rolled my eyes and did what she told while thinking about my home situation. Helen and harry Evans are good and normal (eye roll and yes, I said that about Lily's) parents. Her sister on the other had is a stuck-up, stupid girl who things she is the best and deserve the best, Petunia Evans.
Normal, easy and muggle life. This is what Lily's I mean my life is.
I don't think Lily has met Severus Snape as they just moved into this house 2 days ago and Lily in all her hyper running got hit in her head by the door and fainted.
All TADA I appear in her body all 53 year back on time. Fuck.
'OK, calm down' I murmured starting hard at my breakfast.
'ahem ahem' I turn my head to petunia who was smirking at me. Bitch.
I stared at her and said 'what'? She smiled and said 'breakfast is getting cold and you should finish it quickly'.
I turned back to my breakfast and stared at it again and slow started eating.
Harry Evans ( I need to start calling his dad, I through) and started talking to Helan and Petunia about the upcoming school semester and how we are all going have good Christmas in this big home.

Wait do I even have magic. I screamed initially and standing up straight. All Evans started at me and I just stood there thinking hard. This body has no collection of magic or anything she has ever done.
 
Am I a witch or not?

I got reincarnated as Lily Evans. Is this my second chance? Am I an MC now? Let's find out. 

PS:- My first time writing novel. Not my photo and story are derived from the harry potter series.

"What are we looking for again?" Ada asked, rubbing her eyes and walking tad clumsily over the cold and lightly covered with snow, field.

"Red Mushrooms and Deer hair!" Osira repeated, with enthusiasm still plentiful, sharp on her feet and looking a bit more spiffy than Ada. Reasons behind it, is because Osira woke up a bit earlier and had time to prepare. "Finding the red mushrooms shouldn't be too hard, as for the Deer hair I doubt we can get it from a living one." Osira signified that they have to kill a Deer, although mildly indirect.

"And you need these for an enchantment?" Ada asked, tuning out half of Osira's words including the part where they have to kill a Deer. "Do you really think that I'm the best for the job?"

"Yes, Katapa thinks that he can unlock a whole new enchantment with the proper mixes and timing. At least that's how Commander Alia translated it." Osira fantasised, her tone still bursting in enthusiasm but of course she can make her friend feel wanted too. "Also yes you are, we both need to go out and walk sometimes, being crammed up around the Volcano isn't too fun, plus I miss you."

These are words Osira never expected to say to an illustratio, but what's done is done and it feels really nice to see a sleepy person smile. "I miss you too." Ada replied, and the more she fought off her sleepiness, the more curious she got. Asking, "So what is this enchantment anyway?"

Upon asking that question, Osira let the silence stretch a little bit because she checked around to see if there are any Red Mushrooms near by. "Um well, it is really painful against an enemy. I wouldn't even have to slice them, but yet the enemy would still be too distracted with pain to act in battle."

"I like the not slicing part, but some don't get entirely distracted even when sliced. How could you achieve what you just said?" A slight shock came to her once hearing Osira's explanation, but she does like her enthusiasm. Would make anyone want to pinch her cheeks.

"The enchantment should unleash exactly three boiling hot liquid iron balls upon swing, without deforming the Sword, at least not right away." Her idea, the enchantment sounds like fiction. But her enthusiasm remains so strong that one can not disagree.

But Ada can of course kindly ask, "Will that really work?"

"It is just a theory, Katapa thinks it will work. The trick is just softening the Volcanic Mushroom that we will also mix with this, when softened we can utilize its internal properties of the Volcanic Mushroom." You can't really call a theory coming from a man who managed to enchant many times before, not possible.

...

To get in to further specifications, the idea is that after the Red Mushroom is boiled for a while, the fluids left over can soften the Volcanic Mushroom so the Blacksmith(s) can crack it open without a fatal circumstance.

Katapa believes that the reason behind this softening, is thanks to the fact that the red mushroom is typically poisonous. Its poisonous qualities can soften this dangerous rock and turn it semi liquid.

Since while in production, both mushrooms with either be completely or semi liquidated, the Deer hair can withstand the strong possibly melting substances both mushrooms can develop once merged together, and the Deer hair can merge the two substances back in to an orb.

It won't look pretty, and in some points of views it can really look disgusting. But what would that matter? The orb will be merged around the middle of the sword, which of course means that the sword will be thicker in width and inevitably heavier.

Any Swordsman or women, who is above 70 kilos or 6 feet tall, can wield the sword with little trouble or without risking instant loss of fatigue. In some aspects, the heavier the sword the better because more swings can be taken before the sword completely depletes, before only the handle is left.

...

"Is that a Deer I see?" Ada asked after rubbing her eyes, with her vision a bit blurry due to the fact that she still is sleepy.

But talking and moving is where she made the mistake, the Deer instantly dashed off and got out of their sight in a matter of seconds. "It was at least." Osira laughed, her enthusiasm still remaining undamaged.

It is tremendous how Osira's attitude was when meeting Eric for the first time, trying to kill him on the spot. And now, she remains happy even at such a case towards a lady who is dating the guy Osira herself fancies?

It just proves one thing, Osira can be mean and dangerous only to people she chooses. To her friends she can be as sweet as honey.

"Sorry." Ada apologised, feeling instantly guilty. 

"It's alright, even if you breathed come to think of it, the Deer would have ran away." Osira lived in the wild a lot along with her Tribe, hunting became a almost daily task.

Hunting a Deer with a spear can be the trickiest, and often times difficult. So she discovered a unique technique, with a little of modifications on the technique by her mother, Bittore.

Taking a few minutes to explain this technique to Ada, she afterwards asked. "So, are you in?"

"Do we have to kill the Deer? We don't need food." Although she ate meat before, she does feel a bit uneasy about reasonleessly take a soul away. They have enough food at Lan Zhe to go for a year!

"If you can get hair out of it without killing it, then do it by all means." Osira specified that she has other options, but at the beginning of course recommended the easiest.

"I'll see what I can do." Ada answered, raising her arms up and forming the letter T. "I'm ready."

"Hehehe, I haven't done this in months!" Osira answered, with a wide smirk across her face and afterwards walked behind Ada, slipped her hands underneath Ada's shoulders and flew up along with Ada as fire blasted through Osira's feet.

Flying for a bit over 30 meters high, spotting an opening in the forest about a hundred yards after and a Deer running across it too, Osira flew along with Ada on her grip.

The Deer noticed that something is above, thinking that it could just be a large bird, the Deer just kept running. What worked to their advantage here, is the opening being about 200 meters long and scarcely having trees here and there.

This allowed Osira to gain at least a couple of seconds, to throw down Ada at a safer matter. Yes throw, typically the trick is to fall over the deer like this and slice its throat after. It kind of is a mix of a flying and running predator, Osira can shoot it but she doesn't want to light the forest on fire and catch attention.

Ada dropped down, hung upon the bottom part of the Deer's back, afterwards she crawled up as fast as she could, trying to keep her grip on the Deer as strong as possible so she doesn't get thrown off.

Feeling it on her grip that there isn't any thick part with hair for her to grab on and rip it off, she tried to pull out her Dagger, well technically Osira's Dagger, given to her for this task.

Tying her legs tightly around the Deer's belly, she used the Dagger to shave out some hair from the Deer and even became skilled enough to stuff it down her small leather bag!

Going in for another shot of hair, she scratched the Deer just a little bit but nothing to kill it. Swiftly after she swiped the hair she just shaved off the Deer's back and and stuffed it down her bag.

Attempting to shave some hair off for the third time, she felt herself elevating higher, the Deer has jumped. Ada felt herself hitting the ground, tumbling for a few times until the friction slew down her momentum.

At the end, she stood up on her feet. Unintentional in many aspects but hey it worked, and she only got a few scratches.

Half a minute after, she saw Osira flying down. "Look, I got them." Ada instantly expressed, feeling happy about her success and ignoring the minor pain.

"You actually did it?" Osira asked, not believing her eyes and feeling shocked once looking in to the bag. "You can keep the Dagger, you earned it."

"Told you that we didn't need to kill the Deer." She answered, a wide smile stretching across her face. Suddenly after, something caught her eye. "Are those red mushrooms?"

"Would you look at that, we killed two birds with one stone." Osira expressed, happy but at the same time a bit sad that this fun hunt with her friend has to end.

Reaching in to grab the red mushrooms, she was quick to feel a pain, strong as if boiling water was thrown on her hand. And it wasn't caused by the Mushroom.

"Shit, shit shit shit!" Osira yelled out, Repeatedly and shot a 4 foot wide fireball in front of her. 

"What happened?" Adda asked, being spooked of this behaviour but also wanting to make sure that Osira is alright.

Angry, in pain and with a shout Osira answered. "A Source forsaken Snake just bit my hand!"

Eric's hands dug in a Black Wolf's chest for the sake of self defense, a Fireball howled from his palms after out of pure fear, splitting the Wolf in half! That's where his Destiny began!

Fire? Ice? What's one magic when Eric as the Electus can use all 8? At the end of the day, what is magic? Is it really magic? Do Demons have anything to do with this?

Continent of Ignis! Going through racial cleansing, land wars, an economical collapse too! But it's still nothing compared to the "Peaceful" Demons who want Ignis and the rest of the 13 Continents gone, tearing their way through everything to achieve their goal!

Eric, is the only being powerful enough to put an end to this madness!






My goals:
-I'm gathering the guts and nerves to write 150k+ words a month which is equivalent to 100 Chapters or 2 Volumes, best part is that I'm succeeding! Please give me motivation with a Power Stone!
-This book series will stretch over 40 Volumes(2,500+ Chapters), that's the minimum guarantee from me as the Author.
-I can't predict with 100% accuracy from now but my goal is to reach 100 Volumes (5,000+ Chapters) with this series, and considering how many ideas I've already written down there is a 70% possibility of reaching this goal or go beyond it. Not to mention anything slightly less than the goal, the possibilities just rise!
