The cover isn't mine.

It was deep into the night with the crescent moon towering high in the night sky. If you stand in the streets and listen carefully, you could hear the light snores as everyone rests in the comfort of their beds. Of course, there'll be few stragglers up late working or for reasons they will regret in the morning. 

It just happens that Alex is in the latter, staying up to finish the book he had gotten over the summer break. He just had a weird dream not too long ago and now Alex can't help but feel restless and irritated but yet not able to place his finger on why.

To calm his tornado of a mind, Alex quietly fished out the book he was reading during school out of his bag. After reading for less than an hour, Alex closed his book with a sigh, completely and utterly satisfied with the ending.

However, even with the satisfying ending and the good mood he is in, Alex turn and toss for 10 minutes straight, the restless and irritating feeling crept back into his mind. In the end, the bookworm gave up sleeping entirely and crawled over to his bookcase for a late night treat. Alex chose a book from the bottom shelf where he placed all his favourite books. In case the bookcase were ever to fall over, the books at the bottom would be the least damaged as the fall would be short with a low impact.

The moment Alex opened the book, he is, once again, absorbed inside the world hidden within the delicate pages. Despite the book Alex chosen he had a;ready read it millions of time, he still enjoys rereading the book time and time again. 

In the end, the hungry bookworm stayed up to 5 am enjoying his treat with only 2 hours left to sleep. When Alex finally closed his heavy eyelids, he felt he only closed his eyes for a second before he hears his alarm ringing. Groaning, Alex was about to throw the pillow but stopped himself in time. He didn't want a repeat of yesterday's accident to happen again.

Muddle headed, Alex attempted to get through his morning routine. His mom scolding him the moment she saw him, one glance and she already knew that her naughty son stayed up all-night reading.

Eventually Alex made it to school, the bus driver was close to driving away with Alex still in the bus but luckily he woke up in time and gave the bus driver a pleasant surprise.

Alex is now seated in his homeroom and tries to get more rest before class starts. He only put his head down for a second when he could hear a buzzing fly come through the door.

'Should've gone to the library instead,' Alex regrets his choices. However, there is no escape now. Might as well roll with it.

"Good morning, did you stay up late? You look tired," Sheridan greeted Alex.

"Mhm, yeah. Stayed up late reading," Alex honestly answered Sheridan.

"Was it that book from yesterday? Ah, I didn't get to read how Myrina makes her grant escape."

"She does, but it wasn't a good reunion…" Alex's voice starts to fade as he comes to a realization. Sheridan would only know the details of the book if A. he read the book beforehand and hadn't finished it yet, or B. he was also reading the book while Alex had it open. Alex gives Sheridan a side-eyed look. 

"... I got exposed haha," Sheridan gave a sheepish smile. "I was reading the book over your shoulder yesterday. I hope you don't mind." 

'I mind, I really do mind. My private space was invaded by you!' Alex complained in his mind. But on the outside he didn't show any emotion and simply said, "Not really."

"Nice, nice! Also, could you tell the book's name?"

Alex paused, then finally lifted his head to get a good look at Sheridan. The boy gave him a toothy grin as he waited for Alex to answer. 

'He still looks annoying, but the fact he likes books makes him slightly more bearable I guess,' Alex concluded in his mind. Alex is a simple bookworm afterall; one only needed to like books and he would automatically like that person.

Sheridan continues to give a silly smile, not knowing how Alex was silently judging him. Alex gave a small nod which confused Sheridan. 

"When Summer Ends," Alex said.

"Wait, from the Lochness series?" Sheridan asked, his eyes widen from shock. "Oh sh*t, I spoiled the series for myself now."

"Pfft," Alex quietly laughed to himself at Sheridan's idiotcy. Sheridan was too caught up in wallowing in regrets. Since the Lochness series was a mystery, it further increase Sheridan's regrets. The problem was that he was still in the first book in the series while When Summer Ends is a side story, it does contain some spoilers and best to be read after one finish the series.

"You could bang your head on the table until you forget the content of the book," Alex joked. He felt more comforablte with Sheridan knowing how silly he was and not of one of those people who chased poplarity.

A peaceful life where there no problems that can't be easily handled crop up. 

A quiet life with a library full of fascinating tales.

A simple life is all Alex wishes for.

However, after an accident, Alex keeps having strange dreams that leaves him puzzled and  perplex, yet a strange yearning in his heart.

What worse for Alex is the meeting of troublesome people, not giving Alex a chance to hole up in his room and read a book as long as he likes.

What even worse is that Alex's mom keeps kicking him out of the house, forcing him to hang out with his 'friends'.

Alex: Where did my quiet life go? QAQ

19 years ago (before the events on Entry No. 1)

~~o0o~~

Carrie woke up due to the buzzing sound of her alarm clock.

'Hello, first day of school', sabi niya sa sarili habang bumabangon mula sa higaan niya.

Habang bumababa siya mula sa taas ng double-decker bed ay napansin niya ang iba niyang mga dorm mates na isa-isang nagsisibangon. 

"Ano ba naman 'yan. Gusto ko pang matulog. Pwedeng bukas na lang ang Monday? I wanna sleep," said Nikki, isa sa limang dormmates niya sa Goldwest Fields School. 

Goldwest Fields School is an elite high school where children of influencial families from all over the country attend. Some are from families owning big businesses while some are from political families. Sons and daughters of celebrities, and even young celebrities themselves, are studying here, too. 

The school, as seen from above, forms a big trapezoidal shape. As seen on the front, it has an enormous, 15-foot tall, black steel gates. High class din ang security ng school dahil na din sa estado ng buhay ng mga nag-aaral dito.

Pagpasok ng gate, makikita ang napakaluwag na driveway papasok sa loob ng school premises. Along the sides are colorful flower beds with a variety of beautiful flowers.

A few meters from the gate, at the center, was a big fountain and a tall clock tower, with the driveway forming a big letter "O" around it.

At the back of it facing the gate was the main building, the Gold Hall. It has six floors and a big entrance at the center of the first floor, leading to the inner parts of the campus. It has the name of the school at its topmost part and the school's seal below it. The building holds all the offices, conference rooms, and the infirmary. 

At the heart of the campus, fronting Gold Hall's big entrance was a soccer field to the left and an oval track to the right. Between them were two flagpoles, one having the Philippine flag and the school's flag on the other. 

To the left, beside the soccer field was the school library, the Jewel Hall. Next to it was the Diamond Hall, which holds all of the students' laboratory activities. At the back of both buildings was a mini forest with benches and kiosks where students can cool down and spend their free times in peace. 

To the right, beside the oval track were the two 6-story adjacent buildings, Opal and Jade Halls, where all the classrooms are located. At the back of these buildings was a wide parking area.

Next to the soccer field and oval track were three buildings facing the Gold Hall (from left to right): Silver, Ruby, and Crystal.

The sports center, Silver Hall, is where all indoor sports activities are held. It also has a big swimming pool inside.

The Ruby Hall is a two-story building with a big function hall on the ground floor, where the school holds various occasions, and the theater room on the second floor.

The Crystal Hall has the school cafeteria on the first floor, student organizations and club rooms on the second, and a rooftop where students hold their club activities. The rooftop has a mechanical roof, which can be spread out during rainy days and kept on the sides during sunny days with just a single press of a botton.

At the back of these three buildings was a wide enclosed cemented space which can be used as basketball, volleyball, or tennis courts. Athletes often spend their free times here. Students named it the "Sports Corner". 

Goldwest Fields School also has its own condominium-type dormitories inside the campus located at the back of the school premises. Facing each other were the female dorm, Sapphire Hall (left), and the male dorm, Emerald Hall (right), both with six floors which houses all of the school's students, faculty and staff.

These buildings were the biggest ones in the campus, with the both of them occupying 30% of the whole school's land area. Both dorms were separated by a mini garden, with a fish pond at the center and a small fountain in the middle of it. They also have car pick-up and drop-off areas fronting their entrances.

The first floors of each building are for the faculty and staff, and from the second to the fifth floors are for the students. The sixth floors have a mini pool, a gym containing various workout equipments, shower rooms, vending machines and a number of bleachers on the sides. A wide fluffy carpet can also be seen there. Everyone calls it the "Entertainment Space" which covers about one-third of the floor's whole area. Students can play games or sleep there or watch a movie since there is a wide flat screen TV on front. Both buildings have rooftops, too. 

Each dorm room was big enough to accommodate a maximum of six occupants. Basically, it has all the things one needs in a house. Each room has, at the very least: three sets of big double-decker beds with adjacent bookshelves; six individual study tables and chairs; a long study table suitable for group discussions or as a dining table; three big cabinets for clothing and a number of smaller ones; a small kitchen; its own lavatory with a large human size mirror attached to the wall; and, a shower room with three separate shower cubicles and a bath tub. Carrie's dorm room is on the third floor, Room No. 5.

Napakaswerte nga kung maituturing si Carrie dahil nakakapag-aral siya sa napakarangyang eskwelahan na ito. Kung tutuusin, ni wala sa kalingkingan ng mga buhay ng kanyang mga kaklase ang estado ng buhay ng pamilya niya.

Nakatira siya sa isang probinsiya, malapit sa tabing-dagat kung saan pangingisda ang pangunahing ikinabubuhay ng mga naninirahan doon.

Mangingisda ang ama niyang si Gary samantalang mananahi naman ang kanyang inang si Erika. Pangalawa si Carrie sa tatlong magkakapatid.

Ang ate niyang si Samantha ay kasalukuyang nag-aaral sa kolehiyo sa isang malaking unibersidad sa bayan. Third year college na ito sa kursong Computer Science. Ang kanilang bunsong kapatid na si Lester naman ay Grade 6 na sa pinapasukan nitong public school sa lugar nila. Siya naman ay graduating student na rin sa Goldwest Fields. 

Maraming mga kabaranggay nila ang hanga sa kanilang pamilya. Ang swerte nga daw ng mag-asawang sina Gary at Erika dahil matatalino ang kanilang mga anak.

Scholar ang kanyang ate sa university na pinapasukan nito, na gumraduate bilang isang honor student nang magtapos ito ng high school. Si Lester naman ay malaki ang tsansang maging bronze medalist kapag nagtapos na ito ng Grade 6. Valedictorian naman si Carrie noong gumraduate siya sa elementary.

Isang hulog ng langit ang pagpasok niya sa Goldwest Fields. Naging beneficiary kasi ang baranggay nila sa isang community project ng eskwelahan.

Labing-isang taong gulang siya noon nang dumating ang isang grupo ng mga guro at mag-aaral sa lugar nila mga ilang linggo pagkatapos niyang gumraduate sa Grade 6. Tatlong araw din ang mga ito sa kanila.

Nadiskubre ang katalinuhan ni Carrie sa pagtatapos ng programa nang magkaroon ng isang mini quiz game ang lahat ng mga bata. Namangha sa kanya ang isa sa mga may-ari ng GWFS na si Raul Fuentabella.

Goldwest Fields School is a family-owned school of the known Fuentabella family, na pinamumunuan ng ama ni Raul Fuentabella na si Don Jaime Fuentabella.

Nang matapos ang mini quiz ay agad siyang nilapitan ni Mr. Fuentabella. Sinamahan niya ito sa kanilang maliit na bahay upang ipakilala sa mga magulang at mga kapatid niya.

Nakita nito ang napakaraming medalya na nakasabit sa kanilang dingding, na tuluyang nag-udyok dito na mag-offer ng scholarship sa kanya. Noong una ay nag-aalangan pa ang kanyang mga magulang dahil malayo ang eskwelahan nito sa bahay nila, ngunit nang sabihin nito na may dormitoryo naman sa loob ng paaralan at ibibigay nila lahat ng mga pangangailangan ni Carrie doon ay napanatag naman ang dalawa.

Kahit na alam nilang malalayo sa kanila ang anak ay pinayagan nila itong mag-aral doon dahil sa tingin nila ay ito ang magiging daan sa pag-abot ni Carrie sa mga pangarap.

Hindi naging madali para kay Carrie ang unang mga buwan niya sa paaralang iyon. Many were looking down on her.

Pero nang maging honor student siya sa unang grading period niya sa first year, nabawasan ang mga pumupuna sa kanya.

Meron din naman siyang naging malalapit na kaibigan sa loob ng apat na taon, ang mga roommates niya sa Room 3-5 ng Sapphire Hall: Ali, Nikki, Nae, Jan, and Raii.

Alesia Montevallo, or Ali, hails from a family of doctors and nurses. Her family from his father's side owns the Montevallo Medical Center while her mother was a nurse there before. She wants to become a doctor someday like her dad. She is the Goldwest Fields' Student Council President and the Top 1 student of their batch. 

Nikki, or Nikhaila Hidalgo's family is composed of lawyers, from her grandfather, who is a Supreme Court Justice, down to her elder brother, who just passed the Bar Examinations the year before. The interesting thing was, ayaw niyang maging lawyer tulad ng mga kamag-anak niya. She wants to be a writer pero pinipilit siya ng mga magulang at lolo niya na maging abogado, na dahilan ng munting away sa pamilya nila. 

Danielle Evans, or Nae, has a half-Filipina, half-American blood. Her parents met in California where her mother's family migrated many years ago. When she was 12 years old, her father died, after which she decided to leave the US at dito na magtapos ng pag-aaral sa Pilipinas. Umuuwi lang siya sa family niya during Christmas and Summer breaks.

Jan, or Jannine Madrid came from a political family in a province around North Luzon. Her grandfather was a Governor, while her titos and titas even her own parents and elder siblings are either mayors, vice-mayors, city councilors or congressmen. She promised herself na hinding-hindi siya papasok sa mundo ng pulitika kahit kailan dahil sa sobrang gulo nito.

Rachel Gonzales, or Raii, is the only child of the President and CEO of Glimpse Corporation, which owns a chain of malls all over the country. She was treated like a princess sa bahay nila, which she never liked, kaya pinilit niya ang ama niyang i-enroll siya sa Goldwest Fields para makalaya siya sa mundong palaging nakabantay sa bawat kilos niya.

"Rii!" Jan called out to Carrie habang naliligo siya. "May package na naman para sa 'yo!"

"Paki-receive na lang. Patapos na 'ko," she replied. 

"Okay!" sabi nito then afterwards was a brief silence. "Thank you po!" narinig niyang sabi ni Jan sa nagdeliver ng package. 

Ilang sandali pa ay lumabas na siya ng banyo.

"Sige na. Maligo ka na. Thank you, ha," sabi niya kay Jan. At naglakad na ito papunta sa shower. 

"What's in it? First day of school pa lang, ah," Raii asked while pointing at the package on the long table. 

"The usual, I'm sure," sabi ni Nae na nagluluto ng breakfast nila sa kusina. 

"Oh, come on, that again?" Ali said habang naghahanda ng pagkakainan nila.

"Your secret admirer never really gets tired of it. Bakit 'di pa siya magpakilala?" sabi naman ni Nikki habang nagsasalin ng malamig na tubig mula sa pitsel.

Tinatawag nilang "secret admirer" ang nagpapadala ng package para kay Carrie. Since first year pa lang ay nakakatanggap na siya ng package at hindi ito pumapalya taon-taon.

Isang clue lang ang mayroon siya sa kung sino ito: ang may-ari ng librong napulot niya habang nagko-community program ang GWFS sa lugar nila dati.

Pangalawang araw na noon ng mga taga-GWFS sa baranggay nila nang may napansin siyang isang maliit na bagay sa buhangin habang naglalakad siya pauwi sa bahay nila mga bandang alas-singko ng hapon. Nilapitan niya ito at isang libro ang nakita niya.

Pinulot niya ito at binasa ang title: 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians - The Lightning Thief'.

Binuksan niya ang libro. Baka may pangalan ito sa loob nang maisauli niya. Ngunit ang nakita lang niya ay ang mga katagang isinulat sa cover page:

Happy 10th birthday, son! From Mama. 

"Baka taga-Goldwest ang may-ari nito. Isasauli ko na lang sa kanila bukas pagbalik nila," sabi niya sa sarili. Nagpatuloy siya sa paglalakad pauwi. 

Habang nasa bahay ay tinititigan niya ang libro. Binasa niya kasi ang teaser nito sa likod at gusto na tuloy niyang basahin ang nilalaman nito. Mahilig kasi siyang magbasa ng mga tungkol sa Greek and Roman Myths sa maliit na library sa paaralan nila. Gustong-gusto niyang tumambay sa library kasi walang manggugulo sa kanya doon.

"Hindi naman siguro magagalit ang may-ari nito kung babasahin ko. Magpapaalam na lang ako sa kanya bukas," sambit niya sa sarili at tuluyan nang binasa ang libro.

Pinagpuyatan niya ang pagbabasa kaya naman tinanghali siya ng gising. Naligo kaagad siya at nagpaalam sa ina upang pumunta sa covered court kung saan gaganapin ang mga palaro ng mga taga-Goldwest para sa mga bata.

Pagkarating niya ay agad siyang lumapit sa isang teacher at ipinakita ang librong hawak niya. Nakita niyang nagliwanag ang mukha nito at sinabing kilala niya ang may-ari na kahapon pa pala ito hinahanap.

Wala pa doon ang may-ari kaya humingi na lang siya ng isang maliit na papel upang isulat ang mensahe niya para dito. Pagkatapos ay ibinigay niya ito sa guro.

First year siya noon at katatapos lang ng kanilang first quarter examinations nang matanggap niya ang unang package. Isang note ang nakalagay sa ibabaw ng box nito:

'This is my "thank you gift" to you for returning my book. You said on your letter that you liked the story so I thought that maybe you'd like what's inside. Enjoy reading!

(Don't ever think of returning it. It's for you.)

- Mr. X' 

Inside the box was five books: the complete Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series.

Pagkatapos noon ay taon-taon na siyang nakatatanggap ng libro sa series na ito. And today she received the third book from the popular sequel series Heroes Of Olympus.

"The Mark of Athena," said Raii, reading aloud its title. "You really like this Greek and Roman stuff, don't you?"

"The events got really exciting on this installment. You better read it immediately. Mr. X," Ali reading the note accompanying the package. "The same boring note. Here, take it."

She took the note from Ali's hands and put it inside the little box on the top of her study table, which contains all the other notes she had received before.

"Can't he be more romantic when it comes to writing those notes? They're too plain," Jan said aloud from the shower.

"Ano ba kayo? Binibigyan niyo lahat ng malisya. Baka natutuwa lang kasi talaga siya na may katulad siyang fan ng series. 'Yon lang," she said to her friends while putting the new book on her book shelf beside 'The Son of Neptune' book she received last year.

"Okay. Sabi mo eh," Jan said when she got out of the shower.

Natatawa na lang siya sa mga kaibigan niya. Gaya kasi niya ay curious din ang mga ito sa identity ni Mr. X. Baka kasi may hingin daw itong kapalit sa mga ibinibigay nito sa kanya.

Ipinagkikibit-balikat na lang niya ito. Maging siya ay walang ka-ide-ideya sa tunay na intensyon ng misteryosong taong ito.

Author's Note: This is my second story from Scout International School Series (SIS). This story focuses more on Lucresia. Lalabas pa rin dito sina Isaiah, Jianna and Kiara kaso pahapyaw lang. Most of the scenes na magaganap dito ay nangyari from the past (Bago sila grumaduate) kaya nandoon pa si Jianna.
It means, Senior High students pa rin po sila dito. And may mga scenes na nangyari sa book one na included dito but bibigyan ko siya ng side story since hindi naman detailed ang pagkaka-narrate ni Isaiah sa book one.
I hope you support Lucresia and Israel's story! Maikli lang ito swear!!!
Ps. Kung hindi mo pa nababasa ang Series #1, go to my profile or click the external link below para mapunta ka sa The Ten Promises (SIS Series #1). Make sure nabasa mo na 'yun bago ka magpatuloy dito!!! <3
Thank you!!!

It was a hot summer when the college entrance examination results were released.
The examination results of 2014 weren’t very different from previous years. Chang Liu checked his grade online the moment it was released—519. A grade like that would only get him into an average college. In a small town in northern China, such a standing was neither good nor bad. It wasn’t worthy to show off, but it wouldn’t be made fun of either. It was ordinary, just like he was.
Seeing the result, Chang wasn’t pleased nor saddened. He quietly clicked the cross on the upper right corner of the web browser, and then subsequently threw himself onto his bed.
Ring ring ring ...
The phone rang. Chang didn’t set any fancy ringtones like his peers would usually do; he was just a person as boring as his ringtone.
He saw that the call was from his mother as he answered.
"Hey son, I heard that the results come out today. I just saw Wang’s son from the convenience store. He got a score of...."
"519." Chang didn't wait for his mother to finish the sentence. He emotionlessly reported his score, interrupting his mother's lecturing. Then, he casually said a few words, and then hung up. Without a second thought, he turned off his phone.
July and August were the hottest months of the year, and even though the room cooled down by the air conditioning, the heat seemed impossible to drive away. Tossing and turning on his bed, Chang couldn’t fall asleep, so he got up and turned on his computer to watch a movie….
It seemed like nothing could excite him; even the movie that he used to enjoy was now a tedious task for him to watch. "My life is monotonous and passionless," he thought. He muted the computer and stared at the stained ceiling. For a moment, he couldn’t tell whether he was tired or just bored, and slowly, he fell asleep.
The sky was slightly dark when Chang was awakened by someone’s footstep. During the summer, there were more hours of daylight, so the slight darkness in the sky meant it was just past 7 o’clock.
His parent came home from work. This meant that a family meeting was about to begin.
On the table.
"It won’t be a problem for you to go to an average college with this grade, but what you can do in the future after graduating from there?" Apparently, Hua Wu–Chang’s mother–was very attentive toward her son’s education and knew the cutoff line for the renowned universities before anyone else in the family.
"Your dad and I…we respect your decision. Tell us what you are thinking. Do you want to just go to an average college and be an ordinary person for the rest of your life, or do you want to repeat a year in high school to improve your grade so that you can go to a prestigious university?"
"Any college is fine." Chang took a bite of broccoli, and then put down his chopsticks.
"Think about it carefully." Hui Liu, Chang’s father, waved his hand, and with that the meeting ended in silence.
Three days later.
"You know, our family has always been democratic. We never thought of interfering with your decisions and we respect your choice. But knowing the pressure and competition in finding employment, if you’re a graduate from an average college, I know you can imagine the difficulty of finding a job. Your dad and I aren’t resourceful either…."
Hua kept mumbling, "Tell me, which one you would rather do, repeat a year or go to any college that accepts you?"
"I told you, any college is…"
His mother interrupted him, "Think about it again."
...
Two days later.
"The fact is, you have nothing to be afraid of when you’re young; few people are successful in their first attempt. You know that kid from our neighborhood? He’s 5 years older than you and didn’t get a good grade on his first try, so he repeated a year and ended up in a famous university. Now that he has graduated, jobs are hunting for him. What I mean is that the reality of this society is cruel, and having a diploma from a famous college will gain you access to everything. Think about it again, whether you want to repeat a year or go to a random college to…"
"I’ll go to any college."
"Think about it again," his mother sighed.
...
The day after.
"Son, you may think that I’m being annoying, but sometimes a decision you make will determine your life. Whether it’s heaven or hell is a very thin line…"
"Mom, I want to repeat a year of high school!" Chang clenched his teeth, ending his mother's rant.
"Well, well, well, this is what you said; we didn’t force you!" As if she didn’t understand her son’s current mood, Hua finally cracked a smile.
"You know, our family has always been democratic. Since you chose you own path, you need to study hard this year. In order to support your choice, we have contacted a boarding school for you. There are fewer students in each grade, so it’ll be less chaotic. We figure that the time you wasted on commuting to school could’ve been used to study. Since you chose to pursue this path, every second is important. Some students who’ve repeated high school already have a head start..."
...
The next day, Chang packed his luggage, grabbed some utensils and a few sets of clothes and arrived in Xing Zhi, a small boarding school. As all the students there had repeated high school, their motivation to study was erased by the summer heat. After just 3 days, old habits were restored.
Three days were enough for the boarding students to get to know each other. After night class, Chang took a shower and laid on his bunk bed, chatting with his roommates.
"Hey, did you guys choose to repeat a year?" Chang said as he looked at the other three.
One man wore glasses and seemed like he never cared about his hygiene. His hair was always greasy. Most of the time, he held a thick book. Judging from his appearance, it looked like he was a hard working student, but apparently he went in the wrong direction – the book he read wasn’t a textbook. So obviously, he didn’t choose to come here.
"I'm not sure, I didn’t even pass the examination. I wanted to go to an engineering school or something, but my dad disagreed." The man wearing glasses responded; his gaze never left his book.
"Hey kid, what do you read every day then?" A voice came from the upper bed. Pang Zi was a chubby man and also a fan of web fiction, but he didn’t like whatever that man was reading.
"Apocalyptic fiction."
"Come on, let me take a look," Pang Zi took the book away swiftly. Within a few glances he said, "Zombies again? Why does all apocalyptic fiction mention zombies? It’s such a joke!"
Pang Zi returned the glasses man’s book while ranting.
"It’s been more than 10 years since the release of the Resident Evil series, yet everyone still thinks that zombies are a key element of apocalyptic fiction. They have no creativity at all! If viruses aren’t transmittable through the air, then zombies can’t be considered a threat to humans."
"Breathing heavily, walking slowly, mental retardation and those stupid ‘ah, ah’ sounds they make. For any normal human, it’s impossible to be bitten by such a creature. Think of our ancestors from ancient times. Facing all kind of predators who were way stronger and more flexible than humans, humankind still managed to thrive."
"I’m not bragging, but even if all the students in our school turned into zombies one day, I could still run out of here safe and sound, if you know what I mean."
Pang Zi shook his belly while talking.
The last person in the dorm interrupted Pang Zi’s lecture as he became arrogant.
"In fact, the zombie theme didn’t originate from Resident Evil series, but rather from European Medieval Literature. In 1968, the American movie ‘Night of the Living Dead’ set the tone for apocalyptic novels and movies. The concept of killing zombies by shooting their heads and viruses being contagious through zombie bites…that movie basically proposed everything we know about zombies today."
Tao explained calmly. Within the four of them, he was the only one with a good academic standing. Tao was really close to getting into Peking University, which was one of the best universities in the country. Unsurprisingly, not only was he good at studying, but he also had extensive knowledge in different disciplines. From time to time, Tao loved to show off his mastery of all kinds of knowledge.
"Hence, the zombie theme has been boring ever since it was popularized four or five decades ago. And Pang Zi, your opinion is correct; we don’t need to fear zombies. As long as they aren’t intelligent, their chances of being a threat to humans is infinitely close to zero."
"Hey, I was asking whether or not you came here voluntarily. Stop changing the topic." Chang interrupted the "good student" and brought the conversation back on track.
"Obviously no one came here voluntarily aside from me," Tao concluded everything with a single sentence.
"Ah, these days, we never really get to make our own choices, even though our parents insist that they respect our decisions. From my viewpoint, it’d be better for me if they just said things straightforwardly." Chang laid on the bed and recalled what happened a few days ago.
Right after he spoke, the door opened and a teacher wearing a pair of rimless glasses came in.
"Stop chitchatting and go to sleep, you have classes early in the morning." He shut the door upon leaving the command, but his last statement snuck through the door, "In the history of evolution, small and medium sized predators who made heavy footsteps became extinct, not to mention those who moved slowly. There’s no significance in discussing this issue, so go sleep!"
____________________________________________________________________________
Chang Liu - Chang means fast, fluent, carefree.


Five hundred million years ago, an epoch of extraordinarily fast evolution and mutation took place. It is said that all ancestors of today’s species on Earth derive from those that appeared in the “Cambrian Period”. 

Unfortunately, nothing gold can stay. After the brief “Cambrian Period”, life on Earth entered a period of stagnation. Humans came out on top, becoming the most powerful species on Earth.

A second age has come.

During the first “Cambrian Period” humanity was kicked off of the throne of the food chain quickly. Now, during the second “Cambrian Period”, what will happen to humanity?

The real end of the world is not the tale of brainless zombies. 

It is paradise.

Now that I'm a third-rate, senior phase coach, next time I will be level up to a second-rate coach. Even though it requires 5,000 points of experience, I could still make it one day. At this upgrading rate, I will become a second-rate coach within half a year, Dai Li thought, counting time on his phone.
"Half a year is not enough," rang the System's voice. Dai Li's enthusiasm was cooled abruptly by the chilling reality. The System continued to remind him, "It's December now, soon you will have winter break. The new semester begins in February, but ends in July. Remember that you can only gain points while you are working. So based on this speed, you won't be upgraded until next December."
"Oh no, I forgot that we have winter and summer breaks. Then does that mean that I need to wait 10 months? It seems like I need to reopen my training class in the summer," said Li.
"You are now at the senior phase of third-rate, which means that you won't get much experience points when training ordinary people. Once you reach the second-rate level, you may not receive any experience points from ordinary trainees at all." After a pause the System added, "but accordingly, your training will be more effective than before."
"That makes some sense. I do feel that my training is more effective than that of the other assistant coaches," Li said.
"Once you become a second-rate coach, your training effectiveness will increase rapidly, or even make an earthshaking change," the System added.
"That's something far in the future. I don't care. Well, show me my rewards, what do I get this time?" As Li thought this to himself, the System presented a gift pack in front of him.
Li opened the package. There was an antique book gleaming gold.
"A sparkling book? Wait, is this a book of Kung Fu secrets? Yi jinjing? Nine Men of Power? Buddha's Palm? Don't tell me it's Ritual of the Void, I would never castrate myself." Li picked up the book. There were two bold words on the cover: Slimming Exercises!
"Slimming exercises?" Li immediately looked through the book. It was a picture book, and had a little man that was presenting a series of movements, which looked like broadcasting gymnastics.
"What the heck is this?" asked Li.
"Slimming exercises, literally. Just follow the movements step by step, and after finishing the entire series, the trainee will lose weight. This exercise is very effective, and works immediately. The trainee can see the result within one day, be slimmer within three days, and be totally different after ten days!" the System introduced.
"That's impossible!" Li didn't believe it. He asked, "I'm not fat, I don't need to lose weight. Why did you give me this?"
"This is not for you, it's for your trainee. But you have to train your student by yourself. Otherwise these exercises won't work. If your trainee practices by themselves, it won't work either," the System explained.
"You mean that I have to lead the whole training, just like what I did in broadcasting gymnastics in high school? I act as a leader, and all the others follow my movements?"
"You are right. You are the leader. However, since the exercise won't work on you, no matter how many times you do this, you will not lose weight," the System added.
"Is there any size limit? How many trainees can I have at a time?" Li asked.
"There is no limitation. As long as that person is on your training list, and practices under your guidance, that individual can enjoy the benefits of this exercise."
Li was excited. "Hooray! I'm going to be rich! I shouldn't come to this university. How about I open a fitness center instead? There are so many people trying to lose weight, if I lead them through practice everyday, I could earn a lot of money!"
"Stop daydreaming. You are not going to be rich," the System said, bursting Li's bubble. "This slimming exercise only works for athletes. It will be of no effect if used by ordinary people."
"Then this is a piece of shxt." Li was upset. His dream of being rich was dashed.
How many athletes are there in this country? People like Haiyang Chen, who were at a C+ level, could only reach the amateur athlete level after a month of training. As for ordinary people, it was almost impossible for them to be professional.
"What a chicken rib! Such a useless exercise! It looks cool, but is not effective for ordinary people. The upgraded detector is helpful for detecting some talents, but this slimming exercise only works for a specific group of people!" Dai Li felt that life was so hard. He had been working and waiting for three months and was finally able to upgrade, but had gotten something bad! What a bitter surprise!
...
Soon another month had passed. It was time for winter break. The whole school became empty, and many of the windows in the canteen were closed. Dai Li was not able to leave school with the other students. He was put on duty for another month, and had to spend Spring Festival at school.
It was a pity that Li was a newbie! In government departments, there was an unwritten rule that newbies should do more work than the others. Only seniors were able to live a leisurely life, drinking tea, reading newspapers, or doing whatever they wanted. Therefore, things like remaining on duty during vacation fell naturally to Li.
The work was boring. With the students back home, there weren't many things left to do. The so-called "to be on duty" was actually waiting for any potential phone call in the office. Luckily he got paid 100 yuan everyday, which made him feel better.
Li liked this kind of life. He charged his phone at the two power banks at night, and on the second day he would kill time with WIFI, reading online novels, checking Moments on WeChat, playing King of Glory, etc. He also registered for a Tengxun TV prime membership, so when he got bored he would watch TV.
What a relaxing life! I would like to live this way. Dai Li sighed, then he looked up at the clock on the wall.
It's five o'clock. I'm off duty.


How could a poor graduate student without any background or connections become successful? With a coaching system? An upgrade? This is not a computer game, but real life we’re talking about!
 
This will be a fantasy based on reality. Dai Li will fight back against all those who would mock and humiliate him with his astonishing and awe-inspiring training skills. From a nobody he’ll try to become the most illustrious coach in the sports world, so join him in proving to everyone who’s the real master here!

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

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