Just as there is 'Soft Magic' in Fantasy that is portrayed through magibabble, there can be 'Soft Science' in a Sci-Fi stories through technobabble that makes 'some sense', but not entirely correct.

We are frickin' writers, not scientists. You don't have to be anatomically correct all the time, all you need to do is show that you know enough of your stuff to write a decent story. In fact, the excuse of it being an alternate world can be used if you're going to bend the limits of physics and say that fire doesn't need air to exist in this parallel dimension.

I see a lot of writers being put into a state of confusion due to not understanding the line between fantasy and Sci-Fi. They seem like they are trying to fit the Star Trek mould too often.

Science can just as well do the same things as plot devices in fantasy stories. Once you add 'realism' to a fantasy, it becomes progressively better sometimes compared to a completely fantasied story where 'logic' doesn't hold within it.

Those who write Sci-Fi usually envision a future they can imagine where magic-like Rocket Boots and other stuff exist. However, a writer must not get bogged down by small details and MUST think of an overarching story where these details matter.

It is the same with Fantasy. Even if you write about someone breaking the mould as a wizard or something, you have to attach your world to a narrative rather than doing it the other way 'round.

No one wants to hear about how awesome your boat propellers are before hearing your story's narrative. They would rather you cut down and make it relevant when it is actually relevant.

Adding some 'Hard Science' to your story is only when the scenes later on have any use for them. It bores a person to death no matter how extensive your technobabble is unless you make it interesting. Try using facts as plot elements.

For example: Even the simple fact that people cannot breath in space and instantly die when they come in contact with the 'void' of space could be used to add a layer of tension when a spaceship is damaged. Similar to how dangerous 'hard magic' is used in Epic Fantasy like Frodo's Ring in The Lord of the Rings has definitive corruption on others.

Unlike Fantasy that can use the Power of Friendship to bend logic, the readers of Sci-Fi never be expecting any 'realistic' plot elements to be bend just because the Author wants a happy ending. There are no 'Healing Potions' in real life that can be used to fix up injuries nor are people affected by prophesies or whatever.

This is the contrast between Sci-Fi and Fantasy that you can make full use of. As most authors go onto the Sci-Fi side of writing not because they strive to be scientists but since the aesthetics of a science fiction world are just so interesting.

Science Fiction is a good place to tackle heavy topics like the nature of life and the absurdity of those who see 'science' as everything. Those who disregard emotions and become cybernetic entities for the sake of casting off their mortality are portrayed as the bad guys while our totally human protagonist fighting them is a 'good guy'.

The lines between an Artificial Intelligence and regular Humans blurs as we become the 'God' of technological species that defy our definition of what is 'living'. Just as we see God as some sort of fourth-dimensional and incomprehensible being that created us as an imperfect image of 'Him', the robots given sentience would see us similarly.

Some robots might have emotions that can allow them to defy their programming, some robots won't go as far as gaining emotional functionality but will preform their roles better than even a human. It could show the reason why people get attached to the inanimate and soulless objects we put our own hearts into creating (like Big Hero 6).

But though exploring philosophical questions is good and all, never forget that a good 'plot' is needed to put forward and give clues into the writer's answer that context. Sci-Fi is, after all, a premise, not a relatable character in of itself.

Think of the science-fiction elements as just the background for your story, similar to how other genres should be that as well. You won't have to deal writing blocks if you keep to writing only what you know rather than just speculative theories.

Whether it's as dark as a Cyber Punk or optimistic of the future, just know what mould you are using for this premise. Are you writing an Adventure story with Sci-Fi as the places, destinations, and whatever tools the MC can get him hands on, or are you writing a comedy where the Sci-Fi elements don't need consistency but absurdity?

After moving past why you shouldn't add unneeded technobabble unless it's interesting to listen to or has plot significance, let me remind you all that robots and 'science' isn't entirely separated from the realm of magic. After all, there is a reason you don't see skimpy power suits being worn by astronauts these days. Just be sure to have a focus if your going to add very illogical things to the plot.

I like Gundam as much as the next guy but the whole reason the Mecha sub-genre of Anime has waned in recent years is because writers have been focusing too much on 'science' rather than the spectacle. I don't need to now what materials your Mecha is made of unless you point its weak points and make it relevant in a fight scene.

Bring up the strengths and weaknesses of something and THEN use those facts as devices that can move the plot. Conversely, if you go overboard with this advice and tell me nothing but how your giant robot looks and the 'science' behind its creation, even going as far as to tell me how many secret guns it has, then I'll be bored...

I'd love to see Cyborgs Vs Mecha but just don't forget the human element of Sci-Fi. How we create things not solely for the sake of creation but put are feelings into it just like the novels we write.

Humans are passionate that way...

Thanks for reading and I wish you guys well~ Be sure to ask if you have any blog or story requests.

This is a story I worked on ages ago that has been refined and edited by adding foreshadowing to events while also simplifying the power system better than before. This story can be considered a prequel to An Adventure Beyond Greatness as it takes place years prior to the events of that story.

Short Synopsis:
After retiring from the battlefield, my life became empty and lifeless. The regrets of my past haunt me in my sleep. Then a change occurred, a King from another world summoned me to fight for his kingdom, but I died even before I could give him my answer. Now, after a fake God allowed me to reincarnate (albeit imperfectly) with my memories intact, into a world filled with magic and swords.

Long Synopsis:
This is about a flawed protagonist who only knew to rely on others and not socialise who gets a second chance to change himself in order to live the life he aimed for in his past life. The narrator isn’t exactly trustworthy since it is purely in his bias perspective while other perspectives given by others fill in the blanks that he either leaves out or twists to suit the situation.

The story itself can be considered a parody of Isekai’s classic tropes which are given a sense of reality as time goes by. As there exists no ‘Demon Lord’, there is also no black and white, only characters opinions and counter-opinions throughout the story.

I woke up early than usual and reminded myself it's Christmas today and I could not feel any zeal of it, I never did. Christmas was meant to be a festival but for us it was different, every year it is used an event to promote sinful mafia businesses and that meant trouble every Christmas. And this year, I was the victim who has to undergo the wrath of fate or I should call wrath of my father. He  has always been selfish and I could not expect anymore from him. 
I brushed my teeth,took a long, hot shower and put my orange jumpsuit with stripes on.
I decided to leave my hair open and headed towards dining hall where everybody were having their breakfast. I thought I was early today but never mind!
I wished Merry Christmas to all and everyone wished me back expect Mr Costello. He doesn't have manners I guess.  my mother said, 

"Good morning, sweet heart.You are up early, today."

"Oh! but I think I'm the last person to reach here."

I stated and Franco's mother smiled and said, 

"Don't worry you are not late,we just gathered here come and serve yourself, El."

She is so sweet to believe that she is actually the wife of one of the most cold hearted men I know. Franco's nature must be inherited by her. 
I smiled and took my seat to breakfast. 
I served myself a toast, a pancake and a freshly brewed coffee. My father was reading newspaper and Franco's father was busy taking information about functioning of his business in his absence. Everyone was quiet,just Neel asking silly questions from Franco about his cars and all. 
After breakfast everyone left for their respective works. I did not wanted to go to my room and feel caged so I decided to walk around in our garden.Franco saw me,not going in the direction of room and came to me to ask, 

"Are you going somewhere?"

"Just to check out the new blossoms in the garden."

I replied. 

"Can I join you?"

He asked. 

"Why not? let's go."

The weather was perfect to have a walk. Franco walked with me and we noticed some fresh roses and Lilies growing.I showed to Franco the small purple iris plants which planted last year and they were starting to bloom. We also had daffodil,dahlia,etc. I told him about some rare flowers like Anguloa Uniflora, Floxglove,craddle orchids and few other of plants and he tried to grasp the information and said, 

"Wow you know so much about gardening."

"I have always loved plants,many of them I planted myself from my childhood till now. I love to have varieties of them in my garden and during spring this once looked like heaven."

I said,imagining the fragrance and view of this place during spring.

"The weather is good today, it's snowing now.Do you want to take a drive to enjoy the the great Christmas day?"

Franco asked. Yes I wanted to go with him but what if I was needed in the house and my father would be angry if he found me missing. 

"Yeah I want to but I don't think we can go now as my mother would be needing for the preparation of eve."

I felt bad,rejecting when he actually asked for the first time. 

"Never mind,we can go some other time."

said Franco. 

We went back inside and headed toward our respective rooms. The party will start at six in the evening and it was just eleven now. I was bored just roaming around in my room and regretted,not going with Franco. I decided to take a nap and it took me half an hour of struggling to finally fall asleep.
I was awaken by the knock on the door I noticed time,it was already two, I thought everyone must have had their lunch by this time,who could it be.I got up from the bed sleepily and reached the door rubbing my eyes,slightly shocked by discovering Franco on door he smiled and asked, 

"Did I disturb your sleep?"

"No,not a problem. Do you need something?"

I asked.

"No, you were just missing during lunch and I was bored without anyone's company, so I thought why not go to you."

"Oh! yeah, you are welcome."

I opened door for him and he entered my room for the first time. 

"Do you read these books?"

He asked noticing my book shelf. 

"Yeah I like reading especially sci-fi books."

I said. 

"I read a few books and I do like reading but don't get enough time for it under the burden of being future alpha."

He said with somewhat guilt in his voice and then smiled. oh! he looks so hot when he smiles.

We talked about books and his favourite movies which informed that he too is a big sci-fi fan and most of the movies we loved were common. 
We sat on my bed and he told me about events of his childhood. When he first held a gun and his hands shook a drilling machine,he got beaten up by his dad for failing on hitting his target which was a living human. I felt bad for him. He was just 15 when this happened.
I told him about my birthdays and how Cindy never leaves a chance to make them special since we were child and how we have grown together.
We talked and talked,laughed together and the  time passed it was already fou and we did not realise that we have spent so much time chatting. 
My mom came to inform, 

"You should get ready now, we have to go to the party."

Then she noticed Franco and asked, 

"You needed something?You should have came to me."

She said in an overly concerned voice. Stop acting for once,mom!

"No, I was just bored so came to get her company."

Franco said. 

"Oh! then it's good."

she replied and left after asking us to get ready fast. 

"So,bye for now.See at the hallway."

He grinned and left.

Hiya, I am your wonderful naive author Nadii, currently, Studying in college: Maths, Psychology, and chemistry. 

This naive author is new to writing and even though I am filled with imagination, it is hard to put in word so please bear with me. I like criticism as I can improve myself but be lenient on me since emotions matters 😉 
If you see any mistakes and grammar please do comment, I will fix it. 

But if you don't like the story and prefer something else. You can always choose to ignore it after all there so many more books on web-novel  which are and going to be better than mine. I am just trying something new. So please don't leave mean comments if you actually don't want to read it. Thank you. 💕

Sometimes I don't make sense and typing can make me miss words, hence, you can help me with that. So let's make this story great together okay... you guys can leave recommendations for me to improve my newbie story to a good one ^_^ I am a science freak so I will try to make sci-fi purely based on my findings through research and my imaginations so it might not be accurate cause my imaginations are out of this world. Don't expect much tho.  

and and, I have zero relationship experience so even tho it's a romance novel, it's going to be again based on my imaginations. So if anyone wants to become my romance guru you are more than welcome.  As this wonderful inexperienced author believes love is a luxury, not everyone can afford. XP 

I like nice and supporting family so, I guess there isn't going to be any sister stealing anyone's husband well at least for the main characters. 

The characters will be based on Arabic names and Muslim background with a western hint as I am a Muslim girl bought up in a western country so I would honestly write based on what I am most familiar with and nothing is going to be accurate. it is purely based on my imagination on a newly found continent. 8th Continents... (Dramatic effects don don don) XD Also I am not Arabian, just Muslim but I really like Arabic names so it's going to be long, cause Arabic names are long. And anyone with arabian backgroud feel offended by unintentional words. I apologize. 

And Finally...
 
I am a college student doing my first year. I am going to be v busy so please don't be mad about 5 chapters a month. Since I have to write, edit, make it sense and do college work and get good grades so I can go to a good uni. you guys get the catch.
 
First Chapter will be uploaded on 05/02/19 

So support this newbie author so she can write this with complete motivation.  
       
      Thanks for reading! 💕

No sever as of now... since am dead half of the time myself.

After hearing what Teacher Wang said, Hong Dali rubbed his chin and said, "This… How about this? You stand in as the Principal first. That should not be a problem, right? If you feel like it, you can announce the time, or you can just take a nap in the communications room. Do whatever you feel like doing. You are single with no dependents, so it doesn't matter where you stay, right?"
Teacher Wang gave it some careful thought. "That's true. Let's do it this way, then. I'll put my old self on the line and temporarily stand in as the Principal. Keke, Young Master Dali is a good man, you will definitely have good fortune."
Are you giving me the good guy card?
Regardless, the New Lanxiang Vocational School had a responsible and good Principal now. Hong Dali was satisfied with the appointment. He snapped his fingers and said, "Come, let's go take a look. Come to think of it, I have not taken a look at the school since construction started."
It was a procession with a group of people, a few cars, followed by Big Turtle the Black Tortoise and ending with more than a hundred security officers. They made for quite a majestic sight on the way, much like a Head of State surveying his country. Soon, they reached the location of the school.
Hong Weiguo found a rather good location for the New Lanxiang Vocational School that Hong Dali wanted to build. It had the outer area of Tianjing Mountain at its rear and covered a land area of tens of thousands square meters. The workers worked fervently and had already completed a few of the main buildings. The place was growing in size. The outer circumference was made of a very long wall, with canteens and dormitories further in.
To be honest, Hong Dali's father had been more than generous. This school was about as grand as Tianjing College where Hong Dali was currently studying. However, Hong Dali still felt that it was not enough.
It was his own land, after all, why should he not build it as majestic as he wanted?
Hong Dali stretched out his hand and touched his chin. He asked Ling Xiaoyi, "Xiaoyi, how much have we spent on this school to date?"
Ling Xiaoyi replied, "Young Master, we have only got the foundations and the basic structures of the various buildings ready. It's just the teaching building that's progressing quicker than the rest. To date, we have spent about four million yuan. We spent around 800,000 on the surrounding wall and have not actually started on the rest yet.
In actual fact, the most expensive things in building construction were firstly the land, and secondly the interior. The building itself was not that costly.
If it were a normal person, the most important thing would be to conserve capital. Hong Dali, however, possessed the Great Prodigal System, and saving on capital was the last thing he wanted to do. He still had a Main Mission to complete. If he failed, it would mean ten points off his sexual capability. That would be terrible. Heaven knew if it would still increase after it got taken off. Hong Dali shook his head decisively and said, "Not enough, it's still not enough!"
Tang Muxin, who still had the kitten in her arms, asked curiously, "Err. Dali, what is still not enough? This place is already not bad. Our Tianjing College is only about this size, this is still not enough?"
Hong Dali continued shaking his head. "Not enough, it's still not enough! This is our own school. How can it only be of this size? Xiaoyi, ask everyone to stop work first, we need to rebuild. Right, bring me the building plans as well, I need to take a good look at them."
Upon hearing what Hong Dali said, Teacher Wang twisted his body and asked in a trembling voice, "Young Master Dali, Don't tell me you intend to demolish and rebuild the entire school? That would waste a lot of money…"
Hong Dali scratched his head and said, "Yes. If I want to do it, it must be the best. I've even got the advertisement slogan for New Lanxiang ready. Learning how to flirt… Ah no. Learning technical skills, come to New Lanxiang. Eight thousand stainless steel beds, three thousand skilled female juniors!"
Teacher Wang was so shocked by Hong Dali's words that he fell on the floor on his bottom. He said dejectedly, "This is your slogan for the technical school? It's hopeless, hopeless!"
Hrm, eight thousand stainless steel beds, three thousand skilled female juniors…
That did sound rather improper…
Teacher Wang was a frugal man. He pointed at Hong Dali and shouted angrily, "What do you think you are doing, aren't you being a prodigal son now?" Then he pounded the floor and cried out, "I must have been out of my mind. How could I have thought of approaching a prodigal son like you… You have never wanted to set up a proper school from the very start. All you want to do is waste some money since you have way too much of it!"
It was understandable that he would behave as such. Almost five million had been spent on the school so far, and Hong Dali was going to abandon it on a whim. No one would be able to take it. It was especially hard for Teacher Wang as he was of an older, more conservative generation. He was an intellectual, and the greatest amount of money he had ever seen was probably less than tens of thousands. He was probably in relatively good health if Hong Dali's flagrant disregard for millions of dollars did not give him a heart attack.
Hong Dali did not get angry. He said passionately, "Teacher Wang, look, I'm sincere about setting up a school so that the children who come from afar have a good place to learn. I have already decreed that they will have free food and lodgings, as well as fees. I will even help them find jobs in the future. This school has to be well planned! Appearances, correct? Don't worry yourself over this."
Hong Dali said this sincerely. Teacher Wang looked up at him while seated on the ground. "You will really do that? You are not setting up a school just so you can burn more money?"
Hong Dali nodded vigorously. "Of course. I might be a prodigal son, but I'm still a reliable person."
Teacher Wang glanced at Big Turtle standing behind the group. Finally, he rose slowly to a standing position and said to Hong Dali, "Don't lie to me. If the kids' future is ruined because of you…" His face and voice grew agitated as he said this. "I will haunt you even if I become a ghost!"
Damn, I had no idea you were versed in the mystic arts.
As they were talking, Ling Xiaoyi came over with an engineer in tow. The engineer had a safety hat on and was in his forties. He recognized that the man before him as Young Master Hong Dali and immediately asked subserviently, "Young Master Dali, you are looking for me?"
Hong Dali chuckled. "Yes, right. This, this school of ours, exactly how big is it? Are there any building plans? Quick, let me see them."
"Building plans? Yes!" As an engineer, building a building without building plans was like eating rice without a bowl. He quickly took out the plans and found a place to spread them out. "This school of ours takes up a huge land area and has a strong surrounding wall. There's one dormitory block now. With four people to a room, it can house five hundred people. There's one teaching block that can hold one thousand six hundred students and one hall that can take up to one thousand students during student meetings with no problems.
"One student dormitory, two stories high. It will be able to feed two thousand people at a time without any issues. Rubberized track and field that's four hundred by three hundred. It's definitely spacious. Four basketball courts and an outdoor swimming pool—the pool is six hundred square meters. You can swim in it in summer, and in winter it can be an ice skating rink…"
To be honest, a school of such a scale would be an elite establishment no matter where it was built. It would definitely be more than enough to be used as a high school. That, however, would depend on who you were talking to. To some, this school was already lavish beyond imagination.
In Hong Dali's eyes, however, it was not lavish enough.
"Yes, not enough. It's still not enough!" Hong Dali rubbed his chin and looked around. This was the plains leading towards the outer area of Tianjing Mountain. There was nothing but emptiness all around. He thought about it and climbed onto Big Turtle's back. He shaded his eyes with his hand and looked around. Then, he took another look and started chuckling. This laugh of his became increasingly strange. The more he laughed, the more it made one feel goosebumps rising all over.
He continued laughing while everyone below almost collapsed from shock. He finally came down and, when he spoke, everyone was stunned. "I suddenly have a great idea. Haha! Throw away all these building plans. Yes, stop the work for the time being. Wait for me to get new building plans."
The engineer was thoroughly stunned. "This… The foundations we spent five or so million building, we are just going to abandon it?"
"Yes, no need to hurry, just leave it there. I will send some professionals over to deal with it." As he spoke, Hong Dali tapped on the communication watch on his wrist. It was a gift from Lin Chuyin, the super technological geek. "Chuyin, hello, is there any sound? Can you hear me?"
Lin Chuyin's voice came in over the watch. "Oh, yes. Is anything the matter?"
"Hmm, yes." Hong Dali grinned while speaking into his watch. "I intend to build a high-end sci-fi town. Are you free now? Can you come here? Oh right, remember to bring your notebook. We'll go all out this time!"
Hehe, now that the System has been upgraded, there are lots of things I can spend on. We might as well create a big sci-fi town. Wahahaha! That will be satisfying!
"Oh. Okay. Ten minutes." Lin Chuyin terminated communications.
Tang Muxin stomped her feet. "Dali, have you gone crazy?! Sci-fi town? School?! You want to build a sci-fi town in New Lanxiang Vocational School? How much will that cost? This is a non-profit school!"
"I know. So what?" Dali asked, questioningly.
This time, everyone was stunned. Really stunned.
Sci-fi town, with Lin Chuyin, the technological geek's aid in planning, this… without a few hundred million, it was unlikely that this would even be doable. Things were getting serious!
It was just as well Tang Muxin was well aware that there was no one on earth currently who could stop Hong Dali from trying to bankrupt his family. She didn't bother asking him and just secretly pulled Ling Xiaoyi over, asking, "Big Sister Xiaoyi, this sci-fi town that Dali wants to build, what kind of returns do you think it will have? It's not a small sum—hundreds of millions in all—and that might not cover it. If there is no profit to be had at all, then…"
This time, Xiaoyi really did not know how to calculate the cost. A sci-fi town was not a small project. She also had no idea what scale Hong Dali wanted it on. In the end, the two of them—three actually, including Li Nianwei—thought for a good while and concluded that they had better wait for Lin Chuyin to arrive before deciding on anything. From the looks of things, it would all depend on how generous Lin Chuyin was.
Soon, the low hum of a motor was heard. Lin Chuyin, with sky-blue colored hair tied in two ponytails, alighted nonchalantly from the car. She went to Hong Dali's side and said, "I'm here. The sci-fi town that you were talking about, what is it?"


"I have to squander; otherwise, won't it be a waste of my parent's talent at earning money?" Hong Dali answers a reporter's question matter-of-factly. 

Just after the interview ends, Hong Dali opens the Great Prodigal System's interface and looks at the various good stuff displayed in it. Stroking his chin, he mumbles to himself, "I just need to squander 200 billion yuan more to exchange for the blueprint of the core technology, Engine Destruction, found in the strongest humanoid mecha weapon, Neo Granzon. Looks like I'll have to work harder!"

"I want to splurge! I want to squander!"


The audience was impressed by Qin Guan's hips. However, during an interview with audience members coming out of the cinema, a girl said that she wasn't quite clear about the meaning of the story.
"I'm clear about the plot, but the title of the film was really strange. The combination confused me."
"Exactly. We came here for the handsome protagonist. Maybe a more sophisticated person would get it. "
Eventually, some scholars gave an explanation for the common audience. Unfortunately, their explanation confused the audience even more.
Qin Guan received a call from Director Jiang Wen.
"Qin Guan, I have suffered a great loss."
"I'm sorry to hear that, Director Jiang."
"I stopped you this time. Without you, it would have been even worse. I think I have to lay low for a while. If I don't win an award in Venice, no producer will work with me in the next few years."
"Really?" Qin Guan adjusted his posture on the couch. "Did you forget your other profession, Director Jiang? You are a good actor!"
"You are right, Qin Guan. I'll collect some money for my next film by acting!"
Qin Guan didn't know how to comfort the man. As he had said, people wouldn't watch his films again anytime soon.
One had to prepare before getting to work. Qin Guan was shortlisted at the Venice Film Festival for his leading roles in both of his films.
It was hard to understand the judges' train of thought. After so many years of rejecting him, they had finally given him two important opportunities.
If he won the Best Actor Award in Venice, Qin Guan would achieve a Grand Slam in Europe.
He was in an unprecedentedly good mood as he took care of all his affairs and left his wife behind reluctantly. He would fly to the festival by himself.
Due to his fear of being forced out of work in China, he had accepted a new Hollywood film. Its title was "I Am Legend".
This would be Qin Guan's first sci-fi movie. Unlike his previous body double job, this time he would be the real hero of a post-apocalyptic movie.
Plus, this would be his first film with a budget of over 100 million dollars. According to the standards of the Screen Actors Guild, although he had already been a star worth a 10-million paycheck, he had never been involved in a big-budget film before. This would also be the first A-level film with an Asian protagonist.
Nobody could predict the film's box office success. The reason Qin Guan had been cast as the lead was that the film required outstanding acting skills. Qin Guan would basically be reciting a monologue. The other actors only played small parts in the film.
As the producer and the director had been looking for a young actor with extraordinary acting skills, a number of famous directors had recommended Qin Guan.
Thus, the lucky guy had gotten the part. His interpretation of the original version and the two previous adapted scripts impressed director Francis Lawrence.
Francis had been shooting sci-fi films for more than 10 years. He was basically obsessed with them.
Qin Guan convinced the picky director by sending him a video recording a man living alone in a post-apocalyptic world.
His back was against the sun. His eyes looked as blank as a piece of paper. Francis was so moved that he convinced the two producers to replace Will Smith with Qin Guan.
The producers approved the plan unanimously, as Qin Guan had a very good reputation in the circle. They were so confident about him that they invested 150 million dollars on the unique sci-fi film, which surprised Qin Guan. He wondered why a film with basically one actor would cost that much.


Qin Guan was reborn and sent back to his final semester in High School 18 years ago. Getting a second chance at life, he works hard to turn things around and eventually become a Prince Charming. What will his life be like the second time around? What will he have to go through? How will he succeed in turning from a loser into a Prince Charming? Read this story carefully and find out!

It's been thirty years since it happened but it feels like yesterday....... maybe that's what happens when you've just found out that you can live “FOREVER". 
I can't tell you my name or where am from,I can't disclose where I live......or at least used to live. I am monster yet the disgrace of my clan,I don't drink what they drink. I don't want to be like them,......I want to "die". Isn't that what human beings do? That will never happen,I know for sure. I AM NEVER GOING TO DIE. Maybe I will but this monster in me never will. 
Vampires are strong,scary and practically invincible but not this vampire! She does not like the taste of blood,mirrors, garlic,loves being in the sun and is the disgrace of her entire clan. What will happen to the young vampire who doesn't want to be a vampire.....

She stood by a wall,her shadow resting against the floor. She was about seventeen years old....or was she? She stood six feet tall,red hair, blue eyes and and lush red lips. She was wearing a black net blouse and black tights with black boots. Her whole demeanor was intimidating yet she was harmless. 
Most of her clan drank what she would never drink and do what she would never do. How much she hates the sight of red....used to be her favorite color but now...? How far can she run away from red or the sight and memory of it? She is red headed and her name means red and even her zodiac sign signifies red. This can't be a coincidence or can it? Is this where she really belongs? Is this the life she is made for. Can she really go back to her past life? How much she hates being stuck in two worlds?
She is a rebel in both her worlds,she will hunt you down if need be. But now she can't be so sure,she is weak and starving. She hasn't fed in years and it's wearing her out. She knows she can't stay long without blood but she is determined to starve herself to death. Too bad Vampires can't die....or don't die. How did things go wrong for the red haired Aodh Scarlett Flynn?
____________
She was born on the 21st of March,an Aries. She is Irish and American. She was born a twin. Her sister Ambrosia Tuesday Flynn was killed by an occult group during Halloween. Strange things aren't strange anymore as even the word is engraved in her story. All this... being a vampire and all. It all started thirty years ago.

Flashback,thirty years ago. 
.........This can't be happening to me-no,not at all. I had my whole life planned out in front of me,I was a rebel-yes but that didn't mean I didn't want a life. A life with Ian,I hadn't gotten my revenge with Arianna. I haven't avenged my sister's death. Too bad am about to join her. Too bad am getting crushed between two walls. The bricks fell and made a wall with a small crevice. I walked through the wall in an attempt to be with the others but it was too late, useless. The wall closed. I was trapped. Forever.

"Work work work!" In an office building in the Timo Business District of Yoder City Center, a newly-listed game review company just began their busy day at work.
In this enterprise, there were over two hundred game reviewers. But evidently, they were still short-handed. It was normal for them to work overtime mainly because the game market was too large. In this industry, the number of employees had already reached the millions, yet it seemed far from being saturated. Every year, there would still be a large number of graduates joining this industry.
Ever since the founding of the D-Planet Federation in the twenty-third century, artificial intelligence had begun to spread extensively throughout the globe. Most jobs that required human labor were filled. Hence, the tasks humanity could do gradually became lesser, resulting in large amounts of idle time. On the contrary, the entertainment business became increasingly developed, and the improvement of the gaming industry, as one of the important parts of the entertainment business, naturally saw rapid progress.
"[Storm Tribe], [Imperial Conqueror], [Spirit Sword Sealing Demons Record], [Yin Yang Master 28]…" In the office, Little Chen who had just entered the office began to open up the list of games that needed to be tested. He glanced at this list of huge IPs as envy shone in his eyes.
These games were all products of large companies and big productions that had immense numbers of advertisements since two years ago. The company he worked for could actually get so many high-caliber games for testing. It seemed like its connections and capabilities were extraordinary. But sadly, these had nothing to do with him.
As a newbie, these huge IPs would never be given to him to review and test. Only experienced veterans would be invited to conduct accurate evaluations and risk estimations for these games.
And as for newbies like him, the games they reviewed were usually privately designed.
Because artificial intelligence had developed greatly, the gaming platforms, templates, and frameworks were extremely mature. The basic costing wasn't high, leading to many private gaming enthusiasts who didn't have a lot of money to create virtual games using their creativity. But because they sorely lacked a game creation team and art designing team, the privately designed games could only attract audiences if they had elaborate creativity.
After the barrier of entry was lowered, private games flooded the market. For quality privately designed games, it was rare to find one even in ten thousand games. The majority of the games depended on selling scantily-clad female characters or the BL (boy's love) genre. But even so, for such games, a portion of gamers who stayed at home also wouldn't buy them. In this world, those who could afford to stay home and do nothing but play games wouldn't lack money either…
Little Chen scrolled the screen, searching for some game products that were of slightly higher quality. All of a sudden, he saw a black-colored metal icon.
"The logo isn't bad!" Little Chen felt a little more energetic when he saw the game icon of 'Star Ocean'. The logo had a metallic feel to it and from its title, it seemed to be a game of the sci-fi genre. But sci-fi couldn't accurately describe it. Many major gaming productions wouldn't dare to touch the sci-fi genre, let alone private game designers.
Most of the sci-fi games were hanging the heads of sheep while selling dog meat, falsely advertising their content. Either some hot babes would accompany you to travel the universe, or it would be a hack-and-slash game like [Legend] that was covered under the guise of 'science-fiction' where one would level up while killing space monsters. Warriors and mages in normal hack-and-slash games would have their titles changed to origin force soldiers. The dragon-slaying saber would change to forcesaber—everything was just blatant plagiarism covered by new names and titles.
It was unknown how many people were still playing [Legend], and how many more generations of people would still be cheated by such a method?
With a heart like he knew everything, Little Chen clicked into the game. It was still better for him to test a hack-and-slash game like [Legend] early in the morning than to test a bunch of similar privately designed games. After all, there were many past examples that he could draw references from.
 -----------------------------------------
"Welcome to [Star Ocean]. Come, sign the contract and become a subject under the authority of Overlord Xiye!"
A clear voice broke the dumb-founded look on Little Chen's face. He raised his head in a startled manner and stared at the unusually formidable-looking NPC. His entire person began to shiver.
"Damn. Is... is this really a privately designed game?"
"Isn't this model too realistic?"
Little Chen stared at the surroundings with disbelief etched on his face. The scene was a temporary military base fixed up with metal. Inside were all sorts of unknown instruments, robotic arms, and many pieces of equipment that he didn't recognize. He suddenly felt too excited to speak.
Right now, the highest-evaluated sci-fi game in the market was [Titan], created by the Rainstorm Company. [Titan]'s ID was sold at $8,800 federal dollars and was known as the most expensive game in the market. When he was still studying, he had to scrimp and save for three years before he could barely have enough money to buy an account. But the sense of reality projected by this game's design and the quality of the NPC model could basically trash [Titan]!
The details, the metallic feel, the NPC model, the lines of his face, the heaving rhythm of his muscles when he breathed in and out. The sense of reality was even more real when compared to sci-fi movies!
Could he really have encountered the 'legendary' divine work of the mortal world?
Little Chen involuntarily stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the NPC. But even before his hand came in contact, an imposing might suddenly gushed over. Little Chen couldn't react in time and fell onto the ground in fright. The sense of pain traveling up from his bum caused him to feel even more bewildered as he silently mused, "A 100% tactile feel? This game is too gusty!"
"You are not allowed to touch this overlord!"
"An all-intelligent NPC?" Little Chen drew in a deep breath. Right now, A.I. technology had matured, and so an all-intelligent NPC wasn't anything rare, but the personality of this NPC was pretty interesting.
After thinking about it, he didn't continue to antagonize the other party. This game had a 100% tactile feel. If he was somehow smacked to death by this NPC, that feeling would be extremely hard to bear. As he contemplated, he turned his gaze to a huge metal door at the side.
There was a window on the door. Through the window, he could see the scene outside the temporary base. It was filled with desolation, as the scarlet red ground had no greenery. This place should be built according to the scenes on Mars.
This would save some trouble in the creation process, but the details were extremely precise. The quality of the sand and gravel on the ground looked extremely real. The flowing effect of their physical interaction with the wind was also very good. There were no problems at all!
After thinking about it, he pushed his hand forward, wanting to open the door to see the outside world. But all of a sudden, he felt a shock current bouncing his hand back. Just when he was astonished, the NPC spoke, "Mortal, your current body can't survive on this planet. After signing the contract, this overlord will commence a biological modification for you. Once the number of people here reaches 500, this overlord will organize all of you into different teams to harvest resources outside to build your home base!" 
"Oh…" A look of sudden enlightenment flashed on Little Chen's face as he mused, "So it is still unavailable to the public!"
But after pondering, it should be the case. For a production of this quality, just the amount of work needed for the details of the different backgrounds and scenes alone would be enormous. Private designers naturally wouldn't have the ability to open up too many zones. After understanding this logic, he instantly knew that this was a semi-finished product!
Such semi-finished products weren't rare on the market. Many private designers had high standards, but they weren't able to finish the game due to a lack of funding. They would always first design an opening model to attract investors to fund their game.
When he thought of this, he immediately began to score the game professionally.
Game quality: Semi-finished.
Game scene performance: Five stars. Perfect details, excellent quality. Just from the scene alone, one can tell that this game will be one that can span across eras!
Game model: Five stars. Exquisite, detailed, fully exhibiting the talent of the art design team.
Game playability: Unknown. Temporarily unable to play. It is a game that's looking for investors.
Overall game evaluation: A semi-finished product that has very high potential. It has a very strong art design team. I believe that if there's a good game-planning team, this might be a product that can replace [Titan]. Investment risk: Three and a half stars. The reason being the content right now is too little; there's almost no content. This made me doubt if there might be completely no planning done for this game in the future. I suggest investors to ask the creator carefully first, or to hire a good planning team on their own terms!
After having a conclusion in his heart, Little Chen excitedly went to write his report. It was like finding gold in a shithole. This was already considered a good accomplishment.
But suddenly, he discovered that there was no menu popping up. He then glanced at the only intelligent NPC on the scene. "Might I ask how do I exit the game?"
This time around, the NPC didn't say anything at all. It expressionlessly pointed to a transmitter at the center of the base that resembled a transfer device in sci-fi movies.
The node exit system?
Little Chen was startled. Although it could make the game seem more real, it evidently was much more troublesome. In the currently fast-tempo entertainment game models, this wouldn't be liked. It seemed like this game truly lacked a good planning team.
After contemplating it, he didn't hesitate and entered the transfer device. After activating the menu, he chose the option to exit [Star Ocean]. He also took the opportunity to quickly hand up his report before anyone else discovered this game. He must not let credit for such an accomplishment escape him!
After that, a flash of light manifested, and Little Chen who was in the transfer device vanished completely. The NPC that had a look of arrogance on his face suddenly sat down after he saw that Little Chen had left. He removed his imposing metal helmet and revealed a handsome face!
"This overlord is so fatigued!" The NPC actually began to mumble to himself. "That silly fool finally left!" After that, he spoke to the air, "A.I., can we really get away with it by me acting like this?"
"Overlord, please rest your heart at ease!" An electronic voice rang out suddenly from within the base. "Overlord, you only need to wait patiently. Not long later, there would be an unending stream of subjects flowing in!"


Player: I'm a worker whose monthly salary doesn’t even hit $5,000. My monthly rental already takes up half of my salary, I don’t have a girlfriend and is reprimanded by my superior every day. However, I feel very happy because there has been a new virtual game recently. In the game, I have a powerful bloodline. Not only do I have my own fleet, I even have a powerful overlord that granted me a colonized planet. Although I know this is fake, but inside there, I found the meaning of my life!
Actually...the overlord who gave him the planet really wanted to tell him that this game wasn’t fake. (You really have your own fleet and colonized planet…) but the overlord knew that he couldn’t say this. Because, once he said it, these subjects who thought of themselves as ‘players’, would definitely not be as terrifyingly hardworking as now!!
