Phikul was cursed with the weird ability. For each word she pronounced, a golden medlar would crawl up from her throat, tearing her from the inside. Thus, she refused to speak. After fifteen years of being locked away, she was freed. Knowing nothing of the outside world, Phikul had to learn how to survive without speaking a single word. But, she found her perfect companion who could hear her thought.

The power of the electric hotpot was turned up, and soon the bone broth bubbled again. The beef and mutton slices rolled about in the soup—it was steaming.
Li Du waved his hand. "Let's eat."
Without any hesitation, Godzilla took the ladle and scooped the meat into his big bowl. He had eaten hotpot with Li Du to a few times back in Flagstaff, and was familiar with the seasonings and how to go about it.
Big Quinn was more polite, nodding at Mrs. Li respectfully. "Madam, you first please."
Li Du translated, and Mrs. Li waved her hand. "You guys eat first, you guys eat first. So sorry to have caused all of you to be so tired today—"
Godzilla gulped loudly as he polished off the whole bowl of meat. His long arms stretched out to reach for the ladle as he added more scoops of meat into his bowl.
Mrs. Li had only been halfway through her sentence. "The first bowl—finished already?"
Godzilla answered her with his actions. He poured some sesame peanut sauce into his bowl, and after stirring it up, poured the meat directly into his open mouth.
He gulped. In a few seconds, another bowl of meat was devoured . . .
After chowing down three bowls of meat, there was only half the portion of simmered meat left in the huge hotpot. Only at this juncture did Godzilla pause and asked in puzzlement, "Why isn't everybody eating?"
Li Du laughed and said, "Eat all you want. There's definitely enough meat to go around!"
Godzilla stopped speaking after that. Since he'd started working for Li Du, he'd never been short of food and drink. Therefore, he had been very open in this regard. With no need for words, yet another bowl of meat was wolfed down.
At this time, the people sitting at the next table had noticed the speed at which he was eating. The people who were about to raise their cups to drink from were stunned and all turned their heads to look Godzilla as though they were watching a performance.
Mr. Li was mentally prepared; he had already witnessed Godzilla's prowess at the table the day before.
Big Quinn also had a large appetite, but he ate in a more refined manner. Godzilla usually chowed food down regardless of whether there was a storm brewing, as though he were a starving tiger.
Mrs. Li went to get another portion of sliced beef and mutton. By this time, all the meat in the hotpot had already been eaten up.
With no more meat to eat, Godzilla took a drink instead. He raised the bottle of beer and finished it in one gulp!
Many people on Mr. Li's table had begun to covet him. Someone said, "Old Sun, what did you say in the morning? That someone like him would be able to do many chores, right?"
"F*ck, who can afford to feed such a man? He could probably eat a whole tiger!"
"Able to eat and able to work is the same as able to work and able to eat."
That said, Godzilla's ability to eat was rather extraordinary. There were no chores to be done in Li Du's house for the next few days, and so he would go with Li Du to walk around. And of course, he did eat a lot.
Normally, when Mr.and Mrs. Li were home alone, they could barely finish ten kilograms of meat in a month.
Now that Li Du had come back with three other people, they would eat more than ten kilograms of meat a day. In order to cater to their taste buds, Mrs. Li usually bought beef and mutton.
The huge eaters were Godzilla and Big Quinn, especially Godzilla. He had a one-track mind and favored beef. Each meal would have him eating up to four kilograms worth of beef.
After a few days later, Mrs. Li got well-acquainted with the owner of the butchery. Later on, when she went to buy meat, the owner asked whether she was planning to start a spiced beef business . . .
The reason for Li Du's return was to spend the Spring Festival with his parents. To pass the time, he would bring Hans and the rest to the country and the market to walk around.
Other than walking around, there was really nothing else for him to do.
Those classmates and friends he was close to were all working in the city and not on break yet. There were several classmates and friends in the county but he was not as familiar with them and so they could not hang out together.
Hence, for the next few days, he rented a car and took Hans and the others around.
Li Du was worried about Hans being bored. He kept asking Hans where he wanted to go and where he wanted to explore. They had all the time and money to go wherever they wanted.
It was a new environment to Hans and so he had interest in everything and didn't find it boring. So when Li Du asked where he wanted to go, he told Li Du that he would leave it to him to arrange.
It was mid-January. Li Du had asked him where he wanted to go again, and contrary to past practice, Hans said, "Wo yao qu jin jing shi, qu jin jing shi fan da xue!"
Hans had said this sentence in Mandarin, catching Li Du by surprise. "When did you learn Mandarin? It's not bad, but I don't understand. Where did you say you want to go?"
"Jin jing shi fan da xue," Hans repeated.
Li Du finally understood. "Jin Jing Normal University, right? Why there? There aren't any scenic spots near the school."
Hans laughed but didn't explain, only urging him to go there.
Seeing Hans's coy expression, Li Du immediately guessed what was going on. "Have you been hooking up with some girl?"
Hans was furious. "What do you mean by hooking up? I got to know a Chinese teacher. I asked her to be my teacher, so I'm just going to meet her."
"How did you get to know her?"
Hans hemmed and hawed. "This is personal, I'm not telling you."
"This is my territory. You must listen to me. Otherwise, I will not take you."
After hearing this, Hans had no choice and so he muttered, "We met on that Wechat app you downloaded for me. She's a university student majoring in English, and I'm learning Mandarin from her."
Li Du stroked his chin and asked suspiciously, "Are you thinking of dating her? I told you not to mess around. This is China, the girls in my country are different from those in the US."
Hans rolled his eyes. "I never mess around, don't talk nonsense. I'm just learning Mandarin from her."
"Learning Mandarin—so is there a need for you two to meet?"
"Better to get to know each other, right? Are you taking me there or not? I tell ya, my Mandarin is now very good and I'm capable of grabbing a ride there myself!" Hans threatened.
Li Du reluctantly said, "Yes, yes, yes. You are. I can take you there, but you have to tell me the details."
Without holding anything back, Hans told Li Du all about how he'd ended up getting himself a Chinese teacher.
Almost a week ago, he'd gotten to know a pretty university student on the Internet. She was a top student majoring in English, and so had no difficulty in teaching him.
After chatting with her for two days, Hans thought she was very interesting and said he would like to learn Mandarin from her. The girl then joked that he would need to pay tuition fees.
Hans had asked her how much money she was charging, and her response was that given her high teaching standard, it would cost him 10,000 RMB. Without hesitation, Hans immediately transferred the 10,000 dollars via the chatting app . . . Ten thousand RMB was less than 2,000 US dollars. To a spendthrift like Hans, was this even money? 
Hans, who had been blessed with dashing good looks, had always maintained his good physique. Being humorous and chatty, and now that he'd demonstrated his extraordinary financial prowess, the girl was naturally very friendly to him.
The two grew in familiarity and agreed to meet up. The girl was more careful and had asked him to meet near the university. Hans didn't mind, and so he'd asked Li Du to take him there.
Li Du thought about it. "I see what's going on here. Are you sure you are only trying to make a friend and learn Mandarin at the same time?"
Hans snickered. "Well, if something romantic were to happen—"
"Then you better be prepared to marry her," Li Du interrupted.


They love gold, and they love silver. Even more so, they love gems that dazzle, like stars across the skies. 
Firearms, jewelleries, and precious metals; A collector’s world will not be complete without antiques.  
Storage auctions, old goods trade, re-estate sales and gold-digging. But the truth is, if one wants to make money, then the supreme way is through searching for the legendary treasures. 
Holding the fort, there’s an ocelot, a wolf, and an Andes condor. At the side, there’s a loyal hound, an irascible ape, and an African honey badger. Who said that you can only rely on humans when treasure hunting?! 

"I… I'm… I'm…" Dobin wanted to talk, but he was gasping for breath. Even after several tries, he never got a full sentence out. His face was so red that he looked like frozen shrimp ready to be served. 
Zuo Cidian listened carefully,and said to Hospital Director Bo, who was beside him. "Mister New York seems to be talking about us? Do Americans learn the common lingo among Chinese now when they learn Mandarin?"
Hospital Director Bo smiled unkindly, nodded at Zuo Cidian, and said, "Old Zuo, you are quite humorous when you try to be."
"When you deal with Americans, you have to be humorous, right? In their movies, even if they are busy, are in an intense situation, or in the middle of saving the Earth, they just have to crack a joke first." After Zuo Cidian finished, he called for an interpreter. "Tell him that I am a doctor of the Emergency Department of Yun Hua Hospital. Ask him if he is allergic to anything, if he is exposed to allergens, and what it might be."
The interpreter translated his words quickly, and he spoke in such a faltering manner that he could not quite convey the message. 
Zuo Cidian and the others were not in a hurry. They all looked at him calmly.
The tears in Dobin's eyes were about to flow out as he shook his head vigorously.
"Raise a finger if you did not touch an allergen. If you're not sure, raise up two fingers. If you've had a similar situation before, three fingers," Hospital Director Bo looked at Dobin who had trouble breathing. He decided to give him a multiple-choice question.
Dobin shook his head in pain, then raised two of his fingers.
"Well, he doesn't seem to be useful to our cause. We can only rely on ourselves now," Hospital Director Bo mumbled in Mandarin, and he was not afraid that the interpreter might actually make a blunder and translate his words. 
"Find a flat place for him so that he can be in a semi-reclining position." A doctor came over to observe Dobin's condition and gave a suggestion.
Zuo Cidian said, "Lie on the ground? Hmm, someone, please find some cushions…"
"The floor is a little cold. We have to make sure he doesn't catch a cold." Another doctor by the side gave a thoughtful reminder. 
"It's better to lie on the table. It'll be easier to treat him. How about this bar? Is it too tall?"
"I think the table where they served cold dishes just now is good. But I am not certain if it would hold Mister New York's weight."
"Both of you, lift the table with the cold dishes over. Has anyone called the emergency number already?"
Dobin was surrounded by doctors, or at least, by medical-related people like Hospital Director Bo. With everyone giving out ideas on what to do, things were ultimately done in an orderly, calm, composed, relaxed, and leisurely way… 
In truth, changing the venue at that moment could lead to alarm and only attract more people's attention. Hence, the doctors conducted themselves in an organized fashion.
Hospital Director Bo, who could be considered half a host, was neither too nervous nor excited at this time.
At the same time, the doctors discussed. 
"Is it anxiety? It's said that there are a lot of patients with anxiety in America. They faint very easily. By the way, have you seen people with anxiety in China faint?"
"I haven't seen it before. There are also very few who end up like this when they have serious allergy reactions. If it's a very serious allergy, they should be dead by now."
"The most common one is still myocardial infarction, right? It's precisely because of the lack of serious allergic reactions that makes it hard to deal with this situation."
Most of the doctors spoke in Mandarin, some gathered together to speak English, and some of them spoke some strange languages mixed with English. For a while, they actually created a happy and harmonious atmosphere. The doctors were polite to each other, as if they were having a question and answer session during a seminar. There was no end to their discussion, and they were not in a hurry. 
As the patient, Dobin was a little anxious. His hands were clasped around his neck, and he was about to faint as he had trouble breathing, but since he had not fainted yet, he was a little used to his current posture. 
"It is now generally recommended for you to not press down on your neck." A doctor came up and pulled Dobbin's hand off his neck.
Dobin rolled his eyes and stared at the doctor. 
"Let me just take a look." A doctor took out his phone, switched on the torchlight app, and swung it.
Once he did this, he reminded the doctors to take out the medical supplies they always brought by their sides. 
Some doctors took out their stethoscopes from their shirt pockets.
Some doctors took out thermometers from the lining of their suits.
Some doctors took out a curved needle from a pocket of their suit pants.
And there were even doctors who brought out scissors from the pocket on the back of their pants. 
At that moment, Ling Ran appeared at the scene with Tian Qi. He silently handed out a bottle of alcohol-based hand sanitizer
"I don't think we should wait for the ambulance. Maybe it's still stuck in traffic. Let's perform an intubation for Mister Dobin here," Zuo Cidian suggested proactively. 
Ling Ran agreed and said, "My tracheotomy pack…"
"Doctor Ling, here, take this." Huang Maoshi of Changxi Medical Company walked over with a majestic gait. His movements were like that of a model, which was something he had perfected during his years as a model. He handed over Ling Ran's tracheotomy pack with both hands.
"Oh, thank you." Ling Ran nodded at Huang Mao.
By his side were Mai Chun, whose expression had changed, and Yunli Medical Company's many pharmaceutical sales representatives.
"Get the defibrillator ready. Su Jiafu, anesthetize the patient. Zuo Cidian, get him into a supine position." Although tracheotomy was a small surgery that could be done by one person, Ling Ran still organized a small team to the best of his ability.
The process was smooth, and Zuo Cidian and Su Jiafu worked at a fast pace.
Yun Hua Hospital's current CPR team had always been composed of Zuo Cidian and the others. Now, they had daily training and had to use their skills on real patients. After Ling Ran gave his orders, his team used just dozens of seconds to make the full set of preparations. 
"I will be doing a tracheotomy," Ling Ran said to Tian Qi and started wearing gloves.
A small surgery like tracheotomy did not require the surgeon to wash his hands and all the other things required in an operating theater. Wearing gloves was actually really just to protect the doctor himself. 
"Okay," Tian Qi responded and stood next to him. She took out her phone and took a few photos.
At this time, Boss Shao came over and looked at the red-faced Dobin. He clicked his tongue. "You sure are unlucky. If this happened in my restaurant, I would have fixed up a treatment spot for you in minutes. But that's just how Prosperous Fountain is. Although it's very large in scale and it can do many things, it's really lacking when it comes to basic medical treatment."
As he spoke, Boss Shao also took out his phone and took several photos of Dobin. He then sent it to his Circle of Friends. [When going out, it's hard to avoid trouble. At this time, it's very necessary to find a shop with complete facilities, especially medical facilities…]
After sending this to his Circle of Friends, Boss Shao's phone began to have messages pouring in to him. 
Boss Shao smiled and opened his WeChat leisurely before he stared at it with a grin. The surgery happening on the spot, however, did not make him excited. He could not understand what was going on, anyway. It was better to keep the camera focused on Ling Ran. 
The people continued talking at the far end of the banquet hall, and on this side of the banquet hall, the doctors watched the surgery as they talked. 
"The Americans' cardiovascular system is a mess."
"This doctor looks young, but his cardiovascular system is also pretty bad."
"I think this one did this to his cardiovascular system because of how much he stays up late, right? He's always gambling."
"Huh, how did you know?"


Ling Ran, a med school senior, begins to see the world like a game UI. He uses it to pave his way towards graduation, a residency, becoming the greatest doctor in the world... And finally getting a Transformer from his newbie packs? Maybe. We don't know yet.

Thanks to the five-digit white-haired succubus, the over sufficient fund she provided allowed Hao Ren to enjoy living like a rich man in this foreign country. Though not comparable with the super-rich, to Hao Ren, being able to reserve such a suite of two rooms with attached bathrooms and a living room in a luxurious hotel, is already considered as rich. After a bumpy check-in, three of them were led by a hotel attendant to the suite they reserved two days ago. Upon reaching the room, Lily already was too tired to behave like a human anymore. She was literally crawling her way into the room. 


Hao Ren could only explain to the stunned attendant. "She’s just sleepwalking, sleepwalking…"

The expression of the attendant was quizzical. He probably never seen such a level of sleepwalking. However, the attendant handled it professionally and didn’t pursue. After briefing them about the facilities of the suite and the hotel services in comprehensible mandarin, he left the room.


"The hotel’s advertisement wasn’t exaggerated at all. The attendant’s proficiency in Mandarin is better than that of your English." said Hao Ren as he turned his head to teased Vivian while dragging Lily into the living room. "Check the doors and rooms with your five extraordinary senses. Make sure that there aren’t any hidden cameras. I don’t want to alert the scientists."


Vivian was unhappy. After checking the door, she mumbled something and wrote some invisible glyphs on the door and turned to say, "It’s done. I will know right away when somebody is approaching."


Hao Ren nodded and threw the still sleeping Lily onto the sofa. He then looked around the room and thought, to be honest, this was the classiest hotel room he had ever stayed in. The living room was covered with thick light yellow carpet. The warm luminance of the lamps fell on the wall, giving warmth to the ambience and somehow reassuring. There was a LCD TV and a mini bar at one side of the living room. The other side was decorated with a sofa, a coffee table and seats for guests. There were two bedrooms at the north and south end of the suite, each attached with a bathroom. This was necessary as Hao Ren knew that he shouldn’t be sharing the same room with the girls. Yet, he dare not let these two unreliable girls out of sight. Therefore, the best solution was to reserve this suite with two bedrooms for them. 


As a matter of fact, this was not the best solution as Lily and Vivian might end up fighting each other. However, he couldn’t get a more suitable suite with three rooms when he was booking. He could only take what’s available at the moment. Anyhow, before departing, Vivian and Lily had sworn that they would get along well. Of course, it’s still too early to tell.


Hao Ren looked around the extravagant suite like a bumpkin (even though it’s considered quite basic to the super-rich) and was satisfied. Suddenly, Lily opened her eyes and sat up straight right beside him. She stretched herself deeply and yelled, "Landlord, have we reached the place yet?"


Hao Ren looked at the energetic Lily oddly. The bright and beautiful morning sun was slanting through the French windows and fell right on her face.  It was 6.30am in local time. The naptime inherent to Lily’s biological clock was just over and this werewolf girl amazingly woke up just on time.
 

"I’ve got a feeling that we might fail the task," said Hao Ren and sighed. He took out the MDT from his pocket, activated it and searched for the details of the task that Raven 12345 assigned to him. "We will depart two days later. It will take one day to reach our destination from this place and we are taking the highway which is the shortest route. So the main task for tomorrow is to figure out the map and where the heck is this "Yorkford". Raven 12345 said she wanted to put us newbies to the test… I wonder what kind of a test this is, not providing us a more accurate map!"


"Yorkford… I can’t find it on the map," Lily was wide awake. She was lying beside Hao Ren, looking curiously at the projected image from the MDT. "Hey landlord, we haven’t had lunch, have we?"


Hao Ren looked at the bright window and said, "It should be breakfast… before or after breakfast. We will eat later. Also, don’t call me landlord when we are out. It sounds weird. You can just call me by my name."


"Okay, landlord. I got it, landlord."


Hao Ren, "…"


Vivian walked around each room in the suite happily. She even went to have a look at the bathroom before returning to the living room, seemingly impressed. She glanced at the hologram floating before her and reminded Hao Ren. "Didn’t you say you wanted to report to Raven? Try to ask for more details while you are at it."
 

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about it," Hao Ren slapped his head. He pinched the edge of the MDT like how he did before and was searching hard in his head for Raven 12345’s contact channel. "I hope she goes to work today. She is not too reliable."


This time Raven 12345 didn’t disappoint Hao Ren. The holographic projection above the MDT flickered and the beautiful woman with beautiful silver hair appeared before Hao Ren. "What’s up?"   


"I’ve reached UK," Hao Ren looked curious as he realized that the background behind Raven 12345 looked somewhat like outer space. "Where are you?" 


"UK? What are you doing there? Oh yes I remembered it. I asked you to pick someone up. How’s it?" asked Raven 12345.


"Nothing much." Hao Ren have no time to figure out why was there a huge flame of explosion behind Raven 12345, "Vivian made a mistake and Lily was sleeping like a dead dog few minutes ago. And the ‘Yorkford’ you told me about does not even exist on the map. Also… none of us can speak English. You don’t supposed we can simply find any local chap to be our translator right, given the secrecy of this mission? What if they find out about the unusual creatures?"


"Can’t speak English? It’s just a minor problem." Raven 12345’s lips didn’t move as she spoke. Yet the voice was still coming from the projection. Apparently she was using another method to communicate with Hao Ren when in outer space. Just then a bright explosion flashed in the background of the holographic projection. Rave12345 turned around and simply threw a dazzling bluish white ball of light at it. She then turned back and said, "Didn’t I tell you to study your MDT, why don’t you listen to me? Just enter the app list and look for the translation program."


Hao Ren was watching Raven 12345 throwing balls of lightning in space. He was getting more and more curious as to what she was doing out there but still stick to the question and tried to explain it to her. "I tried to use the translation app, however, it was all about the languages of XX planet and the general dictionary of XX universe. I guess it must be useful when travelling to the other planet but there’s nothing I can use on earth…"


Raven 12345 paused for a moment and slapped her head, "Opps! I installed the wrong app. You know how I always find these technological devices confusing. I will instruct the technician to transfer the right translation program to you later. Meanwhile, let me settle this mess over here first. Just a moment."


After she was done talking, Raven 12345 turned to around again and threw out a bright blue electric arc. Hao Ren couldn’t estimate how huge that electric arc was through the holographic projection. All he could see was the arc almost took out the whole screen instantly. He was astonished and asked, "What are you really doing? Why does it look so busy over there?"


"Oh, I’m just cleaning up the room," said Raven without thinking. "A gang of self-pity lunatics are gearing up to destroy the world. They even created mathematical rates weapons. I have to get rid of them before the damage is done…"



While Raven 12345 was speaking, Hao Ren noticed that there was a peculiar wreckage as huge as massif in the background. The wreckage was surrounded by blue blaze. It was disintegrating as it slowly glide across the space. Numerous small spaceship-like objects emerged from the wreckage but were almost instantly shot into oblivion by blue beams coming out of nowhere.


Hao Ren knew at once that he should stop asking about it. What Raven 12345 was doing was apparently nothing peaceful…


"Ok, where were we just now?" Raven 12345’s voice woke Hao Ren up from blanked state his mind was in. "Oh, I need to upload a new translation program. Well, you bunch of unofficial guys are really troublesome. After you become an official employee, these programs will be installed into your head directly and you will have a built-in interpretation system wherever you go."


"..."

" Leon I thought you were a proud swordsman, If you want James to come and get him fair and square through a duel, not by sneaky methods. " exploded Trisha, if not for Ava holding her wrist she would have already swung a fist at Leon.
Hearing, Trisha question his integrity as a swordsman Leon clenched his fists hard, seeing this Mira lost it and shouted" I have had enough of you shorty, listen carefully Leon did not use any sneaky methods" she paused and mockingly said," James himself agreed to switch to our team. If you have any problems, speak with James. "
" what! No! you are clearly lying. " Trisha did not believe Mira for a second, James was her best friend; he would never do anything without telling her.
Mira Sneered and said " James is right there ask him yourself. "
Seeing the sneer on Mira's face, Trisha said " James tell me she is lying ". clearly Trisha's trust in James was very high and she thought that Mira was provoking her.
" She is right Trisha, I willingly switched teams. " answered James.
Hearing James agree with Mira, a bomb exploded in Trisha's mind. she looked at James with an unbelievable and dumbfounded look. James could not tell what was going on in her mind he just hoped that he did not break her. Ava seemed to be unaffected showing that she already knew it.
" Shorty get your facts straight before you point fingers at others " said Mira.
" That's enough Mira, do not cause more trouble. " interjected Leon. hearing Leon, Mira pouted but chose to keep quiet. then Leon continued, " James I thought we had a deal, what happened "
Before answering Leon, James glanced at Ava who was supporting devastated Trisha and lazily said " temporary glitch everything is fine and thanks for paying the medical bill by the way. "
" I will take your word for it, I hope there will be no further glitch's " said Leon.
" Don't worry, what about your end, did you find what I want. " asked James.
" We did but situations changed, it's worth more than what we discussed before, we will have to reconsider the agreement before. " said Leon.
" what are you guys talking about " interjected a weak voice. it was Trisha, she still did not believe that James willingly betrayed her.
Mira wanted to mock Trisha again but stopped seeing Leon's stern face. Before answering Trisha Leon turned to James, seeing James nod Leon said " Trisha even though my family is rich and powerful, even it can't mess with City school rules and directly transfer James to my Team. Recently, I heard that your father is looking for a '5 Elemental Ninja Nation' scenario Coordinates. then I immediately contacted James, to do a transaction of sorts. I get '5 Elemental Ninja Nation' scenario Coordinates for him and he would transfer to my team for the graduation exam. "
" Haha Ha ha ... I knew it, I knew James will never betray me. James I never once doubted you, I knew Mira was messing with me. " Trisha, who looked like a broken puppet who lost its string suddenly burst with extraordinary brilliance and enthusiasm. " wait, if my father wants '5 Elemental Ninja Nation' scenario Coordinates Leon you should go to my father for transaction, why did you find James is it not sneaky "
Mira was annoyed and mockingly said " Idiot that's not sneaky, that is just smart business "
" Whatever, I knew from the start it was you trying to mess with me Mira, James will never betray me. " said Trisha, like a happy puppy who had found the bone it buried. and suddenly asked " why do you and my father want the '5 Elemental Ninja Nation' Scenario Coordinate and why did you not tell me about this, James?. "
" we want to use Wood Release Bloodline to recover your body to normal, there are many other worlds which can help recover your body better than '5 Elemental Ninja Nation' world like philosopher's stone from Alchemist Nation, etc. but they all have very complex scenario and main task line compared to '5 Elemental Ninja Nation'. as for why we did not tell you. it's because you are to stubborn and definitely would not agree to this. " said James looking at yet to explode Trisha
" Like hell I would agree to this, Exchanging my comrade for my well being is not how I do things. you and the old man are really becoming courageous day by day to plan such things behind my back. " exploded Trisha. even Ava looked at James fiercely as if questioning is this all true.
" Cough.. Ahem..m " Leon clear his throat to get James attention but
" you!, if you have a disease, get yourself checked, do not interrupt while I am talking. " said Trisha, hearing this Leon embarrassedly look at James for help.
" Trisha let's talk about it later. okay " said James eyeing Trisha.
" youuu.. " Trisha pouted but chose to keep quiet.
" you were saying Mr Leon .." James signaled Leon to speak.
" Like I said before we will have to renegotiate the terms of our verbal contract. " said Leon.
" what are your demands " asked James
" nothing much, Mr James has to participate in 10 more scenarios with my team Including the the Graduation exam " said Leon
" wha..att! why don't just ask for his life! " exclaimed Trisha.
Hearing Trisha exclaim Leon said"I hope Mr James understands finding a specific scenario coordinate is not easy for even my family."
" Is that it " asked James, Leon felt something was wrong this is not the James he knows, the James he knows could never be this calm, its like he is talking to a totally different person.
" yes, this is it " replied Leon with a doubtful expression.
"Then, I am sorry to say this Mr Leon but the cooperation between us will end here. " said James
"what!" this time it was Leon, Mira and Luca who exclaimed. Even Ava, who was watching all this from the side with her fists clenched and swollen red eyes as if about to burst into tears anytime, looked at James with a questioning face, but James chose to ignore her again.
" Are you serious..." gasped Mira.
" Mr James please do not Joke, for this coordinates my family had to pay a huge price. " Leon was very pissed, he wanted to rip James Head off, his family especially his mother paid a lot to get this coordinate and now he doesn't want it.
When entering Terror Multiverse there are two options to enter a scenario,
1. enter randomly.
2. enter using predetermined Scenario coordinates.
Entering Randomly is the normal way, it is very dangerous but if you survive it, you will get high rewards, many do not opt for it unless it is absolutely necessary.
Some times when a returner survives a scenario, world terror provides them with the Scenarios coordinates as a reward. Entering using predetermined Scenario coordinates is relatively safe but rewards are very little, because these coordinates are like saved points in a game. so, when you use a predetermined coordinate then you will continue with the progress at which the predecessor left. meaning when you enter through these coordinates it will not be a new scenario with infinite possibilities, you will be continuing the same scenario with all the damage caused by the predecessor to the main story line. it's relatively safer because you get to prepare beforehand.
Leon Barnard's greatest goal as a swordsman is to learn from grand sword masters of GreatSword University after graduating from high school, Being a top tier University Great Sword has its own standards and that is, students applying to their college should complete the graduation exam without using Scenario Coordinates. This is why Leon values James that much.
" you are right Leon, it would be rude of me to reject without providing a counter offer or a reason " James paused, looked at Leon and said " before that you should know my passive skill has upgraded, now not only I am able to learn any language through physical contact but also teach any language through physical contact, though this ability is limited only to one use in every 24 hrs"
" what!! ", except Trisha, all 4 exclaimed in surprise.
" haha that's my best friend for you " Trisha was genuinely happy for James and laughed heartily.
" So, Mr Leon, my final offer is I will complete the graduation exam as part of your team in addition to that I will give you 5 Language Learning quota for free. What do you think? " asked James.
" has your ability really upgraded as you say Mr James " questioned Leon. Mira, Ava and Luca also looked at James for conformation. they still did not believe that such an ability could exist.
" I haven't registered my ability to upgrade in school yet but a demonstration is not a problem. " said James as he reached for Trisha right hand and Trisha happily came forward.
Holding Trisha's hand James said " We all know Trisha has not been able to learn to speak or write or read a single Chinese character after years of coaching but now .." James Paused and closed his eyes and focused on passing all his mandarin knowledge to Trisha's mind, feeling new information in her brain Trisha closed her eyes and began to concentrate and after 2 mins both opened their eyes.
" Dumb asses I can speak Mandarin now, oh! ho! ho! ho! " Trisha started to shout in Mandarin
" James, your ability is something else, even the Idiot shorty can learn Mandarin in 2 mins. " said Mari.
" you big titty fox who are you calling Idiot Shorty, do you wanna taste my fist " retorted Trisha.
" you shor.. " Mira was about to rebut but was interrupted by Leon " enough " hearing Leon, Mira gritted her teeth and pouted. Trisha smiled in victory.
" Mr James, your ability is really an eye opener, but it's regrettable that you can only use this once in 24 hrs " sighed Leon and continued " your offer is acceptable to me, I will send the coordinates with my lawyer to Mr O'Hara. "
" Happy cooperation. " said James similarly Leon replied " Happy cooperation "
Since they got what they wanted  the trio left soon, Leaving only Trisha, James and Ava in the ICU.
Outside the Hospital, Mira grumbled " Captain, how can you accept such a lousy deal ? "
" what do you know, we got the biggest slice. James has been more than generous. Even though the scenario coordinates were expensive I can earn the same just by selling one Language Learning quota , three days before graduation exam do you know how much each quota will be worth. it's really regrettable that his ability can be used only once every 24 hrs'' said Leon.
James also knew the value of these Language Learning quota three days before graduation exam, he decided to give 5 of them to Leon for the purpose of marketing and gain a customer base through Leon.
As for the limitation James lied to everyone, there is no such limitation he can use the ability as long as he has enough mental strength and can also do many other things with his new upgraded ability. he add this limitation for his own self protection, if the world knew he could teach without any limitation then he will become a cow in some dark room waiting to be milked for rest of his life.
Although 5 free Language Learning quota were more than enough to pay for the Scenario Coordinates on that James still offered to complete a random scenario, because James thought since he is reborn might as well live it to fullest and for that there is no better stage than a top tier university.
" James you really are a worthy member of my team " sighed Trisha and suddenly said " by any chances did your passive ability upgrade by attempting Suicide "
" No! "shouted both James and Ava. they were worried that this idiot self proclaimed Captain of theirs will really attempt suicide if they said yes.
" it was just a thought " said Trisha dejectedly, seeing her friends give such a huge reaction.
" You don't use your brain, you not only will be dangerous to yourself but those surrounding you " said James sarcastically.
" you! " Trisha glared at James. if it wasn't the hospital she would have already pounced on James to teach him a lesson.
Ava who was standing at the side quietly, moved close to James and said " I am sorry I shouldn't have doubted you " then suddenly started crying.
" do not cry Ava, even I almost doubted him " Trisha tried to console Ava and said " blame him for being a good actor. "
WTF!First you kill the predecessor and blame him for being too good of an actor. What kind of bullshit logic is this.
According to the Information that James received earlier, Ava killed the predecessor thinking that he was betraying their team and made it look like suicide with her Passive ability.

"Wow, Haley is that you?" Jason looked up seemingly excited. 

I smiled widely and ran up to hug him. He's 6'0 so it made hugging him difficult but I didn't mind. 

He smiled at me as well and hugged me tightly. His arms seemed longer than they use to. He could easily engulf me in his arms. His smell brought me back to the old days. The comforting smell that only he could hold. 

Memories flashed into my mind and I was taken to the day before my 18th birthday. Just after Zhang Yong left.

.....

At this point Jason and I weren't very close as he had just transferred from Korea and couldn't speak chinese. But I had always loved to learn languages so I already knew korean, english, mandarin, cantonese, and japanese by then.

I was crying on the rooftop of my high school. Sulking over the fact that Zhang Yong left me all alone. I can still remember the day clearly.It was February so it was a bit chilly but honestly I didn't mind. The skies were clear despite the recent blizzard. It would've been a perfect day in my book since I like it to be slightly colder than warmer. 

Since no one except outcasts from dramas come up to the rooftop I decided it would be a prefect place. Not because I wanted to jump off or anything I wasn't that dumb. 

I heard rustling behind me and a kid with black hair and blue eyes walked up to me. I looked up at him and could easily tell he was Asian/American. He looked at me for a while before I spoke. 

I wiped my tears and stood up. As I was always tall it shocked me a bit that he was taller than me. Not many people were so he must be new. 

"What do you want. Never seen a pretty girl cry?" 

I walked away angry. I wasn't actually mad at him. I was just reflecting my anger on to him. 

He grabbed my wrist and turned me around (as a classic male lead would). As I was about to yell at him. He suddenly hugged me. My face was buried in his chest so I couldn't speak and since he was holding my head and upper back I couldn't move away. 

To be honest though I didn't want to. It was the first time I had felt safe. I wanted to feel okay and I felt that. 

I cried in his embrace and he just held me while gently stroking my head. 

When the bell rang and I stopped crying he pulled back. 

"괜찮아?"(Are you okay?), he seemed to realize he was speaking in the wrong language and tried to say the same phrase but in mandarin. 

He looked utterly confused. I laughed a little a replied in korean. 

"Yes, thank you.", he just looked back at me and smiled. 

Not shocked about the fact that I could speak korean. 

...

I came back to reality after thinking about the first encounter with my one and only best friend. 

He moved away 2 years after that day to study in the U.S. We didn't get to stay in contact but he's one of the few people I knew would come back. 

I looked back up at him after pulling away from the hug. There was a lot I had to tell him about.

Sure he’s controlling, a narcissist, and highly annoying. But he’s also the biggest typhoon in all of asia. And she is now his new assistant. Will she be able to survive the job no one else could? Will she learn the truth about her and her bosses back story? Will she be able to forget her first love for the man who has loved her for years?

Chinese people were not accustomed to using eye masks when they slept. As the sun grew stronger and brighter, most of the passengers in the economy class woke up one by one, crowding beside the windows at the side of the cabin, overlooking the phenomenal view at the distant clouds.
Several bean-sized figures were either riding cranes with white snow-like wings and beautiful birds with fluffy flame-like feathers or standing on relics like flying swords, gourds, or jades while flying around a light door that was emitting a dazzling light. Effortlessly, they summoned strange phenomena such as the Taiji, Eight Trigram, and so on.
As the world's largest and most advanced passenger airliner, the balance system of the Airbus A380 was naturally amazing. However, when 200 to 300 passengers in the economy class gathered on one side of the cabin, the fuselage would still tilt.
In this critical situation, as though not seeing the fantasy movie-like phenomenon outside the cabin, the air stewardess who had received specialized emergency training politely and gently reminded everybody, "Dear all respected passengers, for the safety of the aircraft, please immediately return to your seat. Thank you."
However, judging from her pale cheeks and clenched palms, one could tell that her emotions were not as calm as her tone.
Sensing the shakiness of the plane, along with the reminder from the flight attendant, the restless passengers hurriedly returned to their seats, but still fidgeted and stretched their heads to look outside.
Guo Caiying, who also returned to her seat, did not feel uneasy but whispered to Zhang Lisheng with a look of anger, "Junior Brother, what do those Taoists want to do?"
"I'm not adept in the Dao method, but the ancient book 'South China Views Collection' has stated before 'The Yin and Yang would be able to cow everything into submission if it walks on both Heaven and Earth.' If I hadn't guessed wrongly, I think those Taoists want to acquire the entrance to the Yingzhou paradise. My comment just now about them being blindsided by material gains is indeed correct," Zhang Lisheng replied with a scornful smile.
"The entrance to the Yingzhou paradise refers to the light door outside the plane, right? Isn't that a small world channel, though? Can we even acquire that? Won't they pose any danger to the aircraft if they do so?"
"Senior Sister, you should know that there is a key assumption in Dr. Hawking's space theory that our universe is just a page in a thick book. According to this theory, the earth is only a small insignificant dot on the page. The so-called paradise is just a twisted hidden space attached to this small dot while the foreign world is another page of the book. These two have very different attributes. The light door outside looks very similar to the world channel, but judging from its relative position and absolute position that are drifting around in an unfixed way, it differed completely from the world channel," Zhang Lisheng explained in an endless stream of words. "In the ancient myths and legends, it's also stated that paradise is occupied by the 'great powers.' The relics that are said to be able to contain a high mountain despite their small sizes originated from here."
"Junior Brother, you really can analyze everything clearly and logically," The girl silently digested the young man's words for a while before saying with a smile. "Unfortunately, you haven't answered the most critical question yet. Is the plane in danger?"
"I have no idea," Zhang Lisheng shrugged. "It's a wild fantasy to have the desire to acquire the spatial relic that contains a great amount of power despite its small sizes with the strength of those Taoists flying around the plane outside like sparrows. Who knows what consequences it will have. However, you don't have to worry too much, at the very least, we are absolutely safe."
"Spatial relic? Such a strange term actually appeared in real life now? Wow, looks like our days are not looking so well now," The girl sighed and looked at the young man before speaking in a pleading voice, "Junior Brother, you have so many strange powers, so if something really happens, can you save this entire plane? There are over 500 people here."
With Zhang Lisheng's ability at this moment, he could easily keep the plane safe even if several Gate of Dao's disciples caused the paradise to trump up a countercharge. The reason why he did not take the initiative to mention this was because of his apathy and his inclination to refuse to be nosy when it was unneeded. However, now that he heard the girls' pleading, the situation changed a little. With a smile, he agreed, "Alright, since you've already asked me to do so, I'll do as you say."
The young man's answer was nonchalant. Guo Caiying, who was already prepared to beg some more if he did not agree with her, became stunned and sighed, "Junior Brother, you're still the same. You always seem so cold to your acquaintances, but you actually treat them very well. On the other hand, you seem to be always very polite in front of strangers, but in actual fact, you don't care about them at all, to the point where you won't even blink even if they die in front of you."
"Senior Sister, I'm a wizard, not a savior. Besides, since when have I ever been cold to you?" Zhang Lisheng smiled while comfortably leaning back on the plane seat.
Guo Caiying curled her mouth and did not say anything more. Anxiously, she also leaned back in her seat, seemingly thinking about something.
In the silence, time passed by slowly. The worst-case scenario did not appear, and a few minutes later, the light outside the cabin gradually dissipated. The plane left the light door and the flying Taoists, and they all soon disappeared.
After a while, the air stewardess' relaxed and clear voice resonated in the cabin, "Dear distinguished leaders, this flight is about to arrive at the destination 'Capital Airport,' please fasten your seat belt..."
"We're here now! We're soon landing at the 'Capital Airport'! It's okay now! Haha… We're safe now…" As the air stewardess' voice resonated, only one passenger who seemed to be in his twenties could not help but exclaim in a pleasant shock. However, by the time the flight landed, inexplicable warm applause broke out in the cabin. Compared to the directness of Westerners, the Chinese were more introverted in showing their feelings.
The Beijing Capital International Airport, which was commonly referred to as the Capital Airport, was the main international airport of Beijing City, the capital of China. It was located in the northeastern part of the city and was only about 25 kilometers away from Tiananmen. One could say that the airport was built in the bustling city.
As the largest international airport with the most important geographical location, the largest scale, the most complete equipment, and the busiest transportation in China, this airport was the window of the air entrance and foreign communications of Beijing, the capital of China. Not to mention, this aviation hub was also the most important national civil aviation of China, which was the second-largest in the world.
As soon as Zhang Lisheng got off the plane, he could not help but marvel over the 'iron birds' that were busily taking off and landing in the night sky; the tens of thousands of lights on both sides of the extended runway that were shining like stars and the magnificent terminal building in the distance.
"The only airport in China that I've ever been was the Shuangliu International Airport in Chengdu. I already feel that it's incredibly extravagant compared with the size of its city, but I can't believe that it's only a very 'small fellow' compared with Beijing Airport." Standing on the airport runway, the young man looked around as he exclaimed in surprise.
"Junior Brother, Beijing is the capital of China, so of course it is bigger than Chengdu," Guo Caiying took a deep breath of the cold night air and replied in Mandarin.
"Senior Sister, you're indeed right," the young man nodded and replied in Mandarin.
Since the flight was chartered by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Capital Airport had given them a 'green channel' service, with their luggage being cleared directly without going through any custom clearance. While they were speaking, several buses had already stopped beside Zhang Lisheng.
"Government ministry leaders, please take the red bus; business leaders, please go to the yellow bus; distinguished guests and translation comrades returning to the country should take the green bus..." When the bus door was opened, several serving women broadcast in both English and Mandarin fluently interchangeably using a megaphone.
"Let's go, I will accompany you on the 'green bus' and send you to the Hotel first before I go home," Guo Caiying said a few words to the colleagues beside her before walking back to the young man. Then, they proceeded to get on a green bus that had the words' Welcome to Beijing' written on it.
After sitting in the middle of the bus near the window, the girl pondered for a while before joking half-heartedly, "Junior Brother, China has been promoting Mandarin for many years. Can't you learn some 'authentic Mandarin' as well? Your Western Sichuan accent is really awkward."
"Why should I learn it? What's wrong with me, a Western Sichuaner, speaking in Western Sichuan accent anyway? You understand me anyway," Looking at the ever-changing scenery outside the window, Zhang Lisheng said casually.
"But if you want to invest in the Kunlun World as an overseas patriotic industrialist, then you have to deal with many officials of the Chinese government, so your first impression is significant. If you speak in English, then you can't say that you're a patriotic entrepreneur who grew up in China and only migrated overseas when you were a teenager. If you speak in the Western Sichuan accent, yes, we do understand, but it just doesn't match with your identity as a successful industrialist who graduated with his Ph.D. at Stanford. Even if we know that your identity is legit, we would still find it suspicious."
"That serious?" The young man asked in surprise.
"Yes, it is indeed this serious," The girl nodded solemnly.
"In that c-case, I'll speak… in a-a authentic Mandalin… then," Zhang Lisheng shrugged and replied after pondering.
"It's Mandarin, but it doesn't matter. You just have to practice slowly, and you'll soon be able to master it," Guo Caiying said with a smile.
As the two talked and laughed, the bus had already driven for a long time in the city's brightly lit avenues that had a blend of classical and modern convergence with both oriental charm and the essence of the West and finally stopped before a magnificent luxurious hotel foyer.
"Dear respected ladies and gentlemen, we've already reached the Beijing Hotel. I wish you all a happy and wonderful holiday in China…" When the bus stopped, the serving women said in English amiably.
"Beijing Hodel? What a direct name," Zhang Lisheng stood up together with a group of Westerners with different skin colors and hair color before muttering and walking forward. Behind him, Guo Caiying corrected, "It's not Hodel, but Hotel. It's Beijing Hotel. This is the best five-star hotel in Beijing and is just next to the Imperial Palace of the Forbidden City. It only takes you a five-minute walk to see the Tiananmen and the Great Hall of the People, and it's also very close to Wang Fu Jing Pedestrian Street. Anyway, I'll be swamped for the next two days after my return, so you can just roam around first. Remember to not make any trouble. Remember that this is not the United States where you can directly shoot a robber to death. don't be so impulsive and just call me at any time."


A young man from the Miaowei Tribe brought up by his strict father, suddenly turned into Rank 1 Wizard on the day he was orphaned. He then obtained the ability to control giant worms. 
Soon after, he found his mother who was in a faraway foreign land by accident. From a small mountain village, he managed to jump into the amazing arena that was a global metropolis.
Thus far, we have a young man who inherited the legacy of mastering ancient demons from an ancient country. 
From Western civilization to other worlds, a fascinating saga is born.

Ace picked up the phone, it was his grandmother calling, surprising, not because it was on a Sunday morning, but because it was her calling him, not the other way around.
"Hello Samantha, good morning"
"Good morning to you too, how are things going around there?",  'Ah, she wants to know how the meetings went', Ace thought, thinking of the best way to respond
"Well, for the most part, I made a deal with Lucrum, and as you know, they asked for a meeting. However, as you are probably aware, things with Epsilon did not go as well, she thought I was just a vulnerable kid and tried to blackmail me."
"How did it go?", there was myrrh in her voice, she obviously knew how it went, but she wanted him to tell her, to judge him on what emotions he would display during his response.
"Well, I destroyed her life, and Epsilon knows it, they will now have to try harder, and of course, I will drive an even harder bargain, they will not be happy."
"Good. I am proud of you.", and she hung up
Ace let out a sigh of relief, he knew he had passed her test, he would not even be surprised if she was the one that leaked the info, just as a way to see whether he would comply to her demands, and buckle under pressure.
What Ace did not know, however, was that on the other side of the line, Samantha and Veronica were smiling, happy with how fast and well he had grown.
Ace had a pretty busy day ahead of him, he would have to sort through all his notifications, but luckily, he had a plan to deal with it. There was a reason other than hacking as to why he had wanted to learn how to write programs and code in general. He had another project, this one of great importance, that he had wanted to begin working on since forever. He was going to build his own A.I.
He did not want a stupid one, though, he was going to build a self-learning A.I. A monster that only he would be able to control. He would feed it all the information he could find, on anything, and then have it create a schedule for his life, one that would help him optimise his time to the maximum, without becoming boring or repetitive.
He had built it himself, truthfully, the premise of it was simple, the problem was that it required expensive technology for it to truly shine, it would have to be hooked to a high-speed connection that would allow it to download vast quantities of data in a short time. He had, of course, asked for help from a few of his grandmother's employees. He had promised them that he would share the source code with them. Of course, only before asking his grandmother. 
She was fine with it, they would remain loyal to her no matter what, and having one for the whole group would increase their capabilities by a large margin. Of course, she also knew they would not share the source code themselves since it would create security threats if they did so.
And it was in this way that Ace built Alfred. Ace had not actually chosen the name, the A.I. had, it had for some reason developed an admiration for the resourceful butler, and it seemed that it inspired to be the same. He had fed it all types of information, he had begun with defence protocols it could put in place to protect itself, Ace had put some of his own, but the A.I. would be able to build its own, and update them as it was needed. He had then made it learn all about video games, streaming and social media. It had, for some reason, also learnt about pop-culture, and in one night, had learnt all the internet culture had to offer.
The A.I. that was now hooked all over the house, connected by speakers that lined all over the room to the supercomputer Ace had built in a room adjacent to his. He asked it to sort through all messages on his accounts, and once it had done so, give the correct and appropriate responses. It knew that if anything interesting came up, it - well he, would have to inform Ace.
In this way, his work for the day was sorted, and he could go relax and do his own thing. He caught up on a few novels, his enhanced brain could now read at extreme speeds, and looked through some advanced etiquette guides Samantha had sent him. He memorised all the information, as he always did, and sent a message to his grandmother that he had finished. She seemed to find it important that he learnt all about various topics, so she sent him guides, books and videos on all sorts of things. Ace, wanting to oblige, ensured he committed them to memory. 
It was in this way that he had learnt all sorts of interesting things, he had no idea whether they would ever be of any use to his grandmother, they probably would. To his surprise, his grandmother answered fast, however, it was only a one-word reply: [Languages]. Ace laughed, his grandmother had realised that his brain seemed to have no limit, so she decided to challenge Ace as much as she could. There was a link to a file in another message. As Ace clicked on it, he groaned, his free time would be cut in half. His grandmother wanted him to dominate all the languages she considered 'important', meaning, the ones that would open the most doors for him. This included German, Spanish, French, Arabic, Mandarin, Korean and Japanese. She told him that if needed, she would send a tutor to teach him, to which he replied: [No.]. If anyone else found out about his learning speed, there would be a problem.
In true Goldsign fashion, she wanted him to learn them all. Ace was of course already on it, he had always thought it would be wonderful to travel to various places and enjoy them to their fullest, so in his downtime (downtime = lesson time), he had begun learning various languages. He could speak, French, Italian and Spanish, and was finishing up with German. Finishing up meant that he now had the level of a Native, and all he had to do was learn the slang that was more commonly used. However, he would have no problem conducting a deal. 
As with all languages, he had minimized the accent by listening to genuine natives speak the language and simply working to learn how to mimic their accent. This allowed him to have a seamless accent, which would not separate him from any native. After he finished up with German, he would move on to Mandarin, then to Japanese and Korean. He would finish with Arabic. Once he did that, he wanted to keep learning languages, but whatever else caught his fancy would take precedence.
This way, he could maximise his ability to learn, while also motivating himself with something that would be truly fun. Especially considering his trip to Vienna, his German would be useful there, and meeting people from around the world would mean he could 'practise' speaking the languages he had learnt.


*************************

After getting dressed, Ace got in the car that took him to Sophie's house, she had said to meet him at 10, which had left him a lot of time to do his own thing, considering he had woken up at 5 in the morning, and she lived only 10 minutes away. When he got there, it was 9:55, and he was led through the main house to a 'small' one in the garden, it was an expanse where it seemed that the family met their guests, it was a massive open space, with decor tastefully placed around the room. It did not give out a sense of opulence, but you knew the people that owned it were rich nevertheless. How rich, depended on how much you looked, one could spot the luxurious billiards table or the massive 8k televisions displayed around the room. Ace, however, noticed the book stand, It was not as big or noticeable as the other pieces, but was sure as hell worth a lot more. Every book there, seemed to be expensive, Ace assumed that none of them had actually been read, but the rare collection caught his eye nevertheless.
"Like them?", Sophie came up from behind him, giving him a hug which he turned around and reciprocated. She was dressed in a yellow flowery dress that suited her quite well.
"Yeah. These are amazing, some of these are worth more than what people make in a lifetime.", Ace heard the tinge of admiration in his own voice, but did not mind it. If anything, it would only give Sophie the false impression that she could use these books as a bargaining chip. She could of course, but if Ace wanted, he could get his Grandmother to gift him an even greater collection than this. Money was not a problem, and as of right now, connections were not either.
"Hmmm, well, the others are not here yet, but I can give you a tour if you want", 'fashionably' late, of course, Ace detested such a construct, but he understood that it was merely a way for someone to feel wanted.
"Sure let's go."

The story of a boy overcome with pain, that suddenly isn't.

                                      **********

Jez viewed a white world, no sky, no ground, just white. In this white Abyss there stood a humanoid figure, just out of sight. "Welcome to my abode, somewhere in your soul, or I should say our soul", the same voice replied, Jez, tried to speak out to no avail. "There is no concept of voice in here, you have to learn to speak in a different form, it was this roadblock that kept me from interacting with you till recently", chuckled the voice, "For now I will give you my name and the small amount of information I have, my memory is locked away somewhere and I can't access them at the moment. I, however, do have a plan to gain access to them. When you went out to hunt and each time you killed anything, a little bit of energy is absorbed by our soul, I gain more access to my memories and you gain more processing power. Basically the more you kill the more knowledge I gain and the smarter you will become, it's a win-win." the voice explained, "another benefit we both get is that we gain access to the knowledge that I had, currently my memory stopped at the end of high school, and that gives me access to basic chemistry, electrical, mathematical, and physics-based principles. I can give access to you to those banks of info, as a show of good faith. I can't let you die on me so I will give you all the knowledge I currently have on medicine.".
Jez's vision faded to black and he woke up again, in his bed. His head hurt and his vision was obstructed by something, it was slowly coming into focus, It was a model of a Male human body, his body, it showed that he was fatigued and that there were light burns that covered his lower half from his earlier dip in the draft, it showed the process of healing and told him what stage it was in, but not directly, there were no words or pictures just whenever he focused on the model in the corner of his vision, the condition of his body instantly appeared in his mind. Jez then proceeded to scan through the new information, "This would be great if I could use any of it", he sighed, all of the information that was given to him was too basic, and he had no use of it, as he only understood the basic ideas of chemistry, physics, and anatomy. The math that he was taught was only marginally more advanced than the math he already learned, and learning more languages is pointless since he had never heard of English, Mandarin, German, or French.
But the gift did give him some goals, go to the mage academy and learn how to properly use magic, and hope he can get into a position where he can go hunting a lot so he can plunder more energy to gain more knowledge, after all, what he had now was only the beginning.
He did, however, have to go explain to the guard commander that he had completed his training and wanted to leave, he wanted to go back to his family and spend the rest of his time before going to the academy in hunting as it gave him good survival skills as well as gave him energy that could help Jake, and by extension himself, regain memories. He could already feel the unending "tests" the commander would give him.
