(What a cliche title!)

A soft mechanical voice sounded it. "Host has been born. Initializing system." A progress bar reaching from 0% to 100% then followed. Only ten seconds for it to load! How fast!

"Welcome host to The Cliche System." After finally being born Michael, now had even more problems to deal with! Now he had a system, truly a cliche world. Oh how funny! Cliche system, cliche world. 

After finally being done with his inner monologue he tried activating the system! 'System!' He called out inside of his mind and low and behold there it was! The holy grail of all protagonists! A menu listing. Status. Skills. Shop. Cliches. Obviously the first choice was to choose the non normal option! 

'Cliches.' He said inside of his mind and again you must behold the beauty of this new menu! The new menu listed some new options even! Supreme talent. Parents death. Attacked due to supreme to talent, WARNING: REQUIRES SUPREME TALENT. Sect destroyed. House robbed. Master being a very powerful being. The list continued on and on, and on. But finally there was something different! Some words and some numbers, whoa! 

Bad cliches 0, Good cliches 3. I suppose this is the cliche system.

Little did I know I was completely wrong!

I honestly doubt this novel will get anywhere. But I'm mostly doing this for fun. Though, I hope it doesn't turn out like the supreme anime system or whatever the hell it's called. That story is a pile of garbage wow. Don't get your hopes up too high.

The one-eyed man approached us. This was my first meeting with one of Seoul's Seven Kings.

Yoo Sangah talked in the group chat.

–Dokja-ssi, this person is perhaps…

–Yes, you're right.

I nodded to Yoo Sangah. It was impossible not to think of this person when seeing the appearance.

–By the way, I don't understand. Even if the constellation is 'that person', why is the incarnation dressed like that?

–His sympathy with the constellation seems to be high. The higher the sympathy rate, the more the incarnation is influenced by the lifestyle of the constellation.

–I should never cough in front of him.

The man with long hair tied back was bowing to the man approaching us.

"Your Majesty. You came."

"Yes."

"What happened?"

"Do I need to say it? Here."

The one-eyed man pointed to his staff. There was a blue jewel available from the Big Dipper embedded on it.

[Greedy Wolf Star].

The long-haired man admired it.

"Ohh…!"

Wasn't he quite good? Already gaining one star jewel…

The star jewels were the rewards of the Big Dipper chapter.

It was an item that increased overall stats by one level. It had a good effect on its own but the star jewels were meaningful when seven were collected.

It was because the jewels were the summoning material for the Four Yin Demonic Beheading Sword.

The one-eyed man looked at me. "Who are these people?"

"They have just entered the Big Dipper chapter. Their abilities are quite good so I was thinking about getting them to join."

"Really?"

The one-eyed man and I extended our hands to each other at the same time.

"I am Cha Sangkyung."

"I am Kim Dokja."

I shook his hand while activating a skill.

It was regrettable that Jung Heewon wasn't here. If she saw this man in front of me, she would never speak nonsense about my sponsor again.

Cha Sangkyung said, "I have a burden of seeing things. Can I look at you once?"

"Yes."

Yes, he could try.

[The character 'Cha Sangkyung' has used Law of Interest Lv. 2!]

The stigma 'Law of Interest' was quite interesting among the investigation techniques in Ways of Survival. It didn't reveal the attributes window of the opponent but it was a skill that roughly gave information about the personality of the opponent. In other words, he would see a 'Easily fooled Demonic Enemy' if the person was 'good', while he would see a 'Back-stabbing Demonic Enemy' if the person was 'bad.' For example…

[The character 'Cha Sangkyung' has discovered that you are a demonic enemy that shouldn't be touched.]

It was like this.

"T-This?"

"King, why are you acting like this?"

[The character 'Cha Sangkyung' is greatly disturbed.]

Cha Sangkyung shouted with a pale face.

"D-Demonic enemy!"

"Huh? It can't be…"

At his words, the group members of the Maitreya King simultaneously looked at me. The atmosphere became tense when Cha Sangkyung urgently added.

"N-Nothing. I have made a mistake."

"Huh? There's nothing?"

"Yes, it is nothing. Everyone back off."

Indeed. He would be a fool to ignore the warning of the constellation. By the way, a demonic enemy that shouldn't be touched…

Maybe the One-eyed Maitreya didn't want to fight with me.

"Sigh… it isn't surprising."

The dubious thing was the reaction of the long-haired man. It was momentary but there was an expression of 'regret' on his face.

"The plan will start in one hour. I'm looking forward to your participation despite being a bit late."

Cha Sangkyung said before returning to his group members.

The first encounter with Gung Ye ended like this. (TL: Gung Ye had a slight mention earlier in the novel. He is a king who proclaimed himself a Buddha and became a tyrant who sentenced death to anyone opposing him, including his own wife)

The long-haired man said, "Phew, it almost became a major event. I'm glad."

"It is absurd to say that he is a king who knows the hearts of the people."

"Haha, Gung Ye might be recorded as a tyrant later on but he was a good and wise king first. You never know what will happen in the future. History can change."

I looked carefully at the long-haired man and asked, "By the way, who are you?"

"Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet. I am Han Sooyoung. I am Cha Sangkyung's assistant."

A man who supported the incarnation of Gung Ye. It was highly likely that he was attached to Gung Ye's side because of his sponsor.

Who was it? Perhaps it was a king? I immediately used a skill.

[The exclusive skill, Character List is activated.]

[The information of this person can't be read in 'Character List.']

[This person isn't registered in 'Character List.']

…What?

"Um? What's wrong?"

I looked at the shamelessly speaking Han Sooyoung and couldn't help laughing. I see… now I knew who this person was.

"It's nothing. Just… I feel like you are a demonic enemy."

"Haha, what do you mean?"

I could see Han Sooyoung's eyes change strangely. Maybe at this moment, both of us were thinking the same thing. The question was who would pull out a sword first.

The doors of the waiting room started to open one by one.

"The kings are coming!"

There was tension in the Maitreya group while several people in the waiting room started cheering.

I watched the kings walking out the door and asked Han Sooyoung.

"Are they on the same side?"

"Yes, they are all kings who promised to cooperate with us. From left to right, there is the 'Prudent King' Yoon Kiyoung and 'Fighting King' Kim Baekho Then the last one who came out is the 'Earth Dragon King' Gu Daesung."

I remembered something when I heard this nickname.

The Prudent King and Fighting King. They were just like their nicknames. They had decent skills and stats but they were one step lacking compared to the Seven Kings.

The only one I needed to pay attention to was the Earth Dragon King Gu Daesung.

Gu Daesung discovered Cha Sangkyung and asked, "You have already come out?

Fast."

"You are a rude earthworm."

"…Earthworm? Is that what you are calling my sponsor?"

Yoo Sangah was startled when she heard their words and whispered to me, "That person, I think he has a good sponsor behind him."

"…How do you know?"

"I heard the story that the king of Baekje was born from an earth dragon."

"Earth dragon?"

"That's what they meant by 'earthworm.' The other kings are calling him the son of an earth dragon in a mocking manner."

She was really amazing. She figured out the identity of Gu Daesung with this much information.

Yoo Sangah was right.

Earth Dragon King Gu Daesung. In my memories, he was one of Seoul's Seven Kings with the late King Gyeon Hwon as his sponsor.

"There are quite a few people with kings as a sponsor. Then the king we saw before…"

I nodded. In fact, it wasn't a coincidence that there were so many incarnations with a 'king' as their sponsor.

The situation would be similar in other areas, not just the Seoul Dome.

In Japan, there would be a competition between the three heroes including Oda Nobunaga. In the UK, there would be a competition between Richard the Lionheart or Henry VIII.

The world's greatest constellations would be preparing for a war over the Absolute Throne, raising their coordination with their incarnation to a breathtaking level.

[The constellation 'Maritime War God' is expecting the appearance of a new fable class constellation.]

[The constellation 'Bald General of Justice' is watching the situation with sweaty hands.

The other high-ranking constellations were also interested. It was natural. As I said before, the fourth scenario was an event for the greatest constellations of each country.

"Is everyone gathered?"

The kings soon gathered in the middle and gave a speech.

"Our enemy is the Tyrant King who entered the third door! The Tyrant King has already received two jewels from this dungeon and cowardly raided innocent kings. Some of the people present would've lost a king to him."

That's why this waiting room was a field of corpses.

Perhaps the Tyrant King killed two kings and took away their star jewels. It meant he would soon gather all seven star jewels…

"The new Seoul shouldn't be handed over to such a person. If he gets the Four Yin Demonic Beheading Sword and then takes the Absolute Throne, there will be endless grief and tragedy in Seoul!"

"Thus, the people have to fight! Get up right now! The kings here are all wise. The future will be fine no matter which of us becomes the absolute king. We have to at least stop the worst king!"

"This will be a struggle for a righteous way of living! Take care! You will be great fighters taking your first step into a new history!"

The speech didn't have much substance but people became excited. Some people cheered, some sympathized while others were touched to tears. It was like they were real revolutionaries fighting for justice.

I looked at the scene alone. 

Just one month ago, the people here had voted for a president. They did their duty and agreed to have private property through legitimate economic activities. All of a sudden, it felt like a dream.

In just one month, Seoul had returned to the kingdom days.

"Depart!"

Hundreds of people entered through the third door. Cha Sangkyung's group was at the back and we moved in line with them.

Our vision wavered before a giant tunnel appeared. It was a huge tunnel where the size couldn't be easily measured.

Han Sooyoung walked beside me and opened his mouth. "This is so exciting. I feel like I'm in a martial arts novel."

"A martial arts novel?"

Han Sooyoung nodded with a meaningful smile. "Why, don't you think it is like a martial arts novel? It is like a treasure map. The legendary sword is sleeping in the stone chamber and whoever obtains the sword shall be the best person in the world!"

Han Sooyoung spoke accompanied by gestures seemed quite plausible. It wouldn't be unbelievable if he was an actor.

"It is a common cliche in a martial arts novel, the treasure sword."

"Oh, Dokja-ssi, do you read martial arts novels as well?"

It couldn't be missed when talking about genre fiction.

"I read quite a bit. By the way, there is a common development in these cliche novels."

"Common development? What is it?"

"It turns out that the treasure map is a fake! This type of development."

Han Sooyoung's eyes shook. "This is interesting. What happens next?"

"It is an obvious story. The 'shadow' laughs quietly and kills the people gathered because of the fake treasure."

"Hoh… is that the current situation? Could someone be a shadow?"

I nodded and stated, "It is a possibility although I don't like such obvious cliches."

"Um? What does that mean?"

"To be honest, there are too many cliches like the treasure sword.

"Hmm… there are too many stories, making it bad?"

"For writers, I think it is a story that lacks distress."

Han Sooyoung's expression slightly hardened. "Then what would Dokja-ssi do if you were the writer? What if you had to write about the treasure sword?"

"I'm not sure. I am a 'reader' as my name suggests."

"I think that a reader would do the same. Writing familiar cliches will give satisfaction to the readers."

Yes, I thought he would say something like this. I smiled and asked, "Who said this? You are speaking as a writer. I'm not saying that cliches are bad. At the very least, a plagiarist shouldn't use it."

"Pla…giarist?"

"Yes, a plagiarist."

It was funny to see Han Sooyoung's face change colours.

"Well, every story is similar. It is the details that are a bit different… Can it really be called plagiarism? Perhaps if Dokja-ssi is the writer―"

"Nope, I would do it differently."

Han Sooyoung's eyebrows twitched. "…You would write it differently? How?"

"For example, like this."

I raised Unbroken Faith and cut his neck. No blood was visible as his head fell down.

I added, "Why are you hiding when it will be revealed anyway?"

Then Han Sooyoung's head spoke from where it was lying on the ground. "How interesting. Kim Dokja."

Only I know the end of this world.
One day our MC finds himself stuck in the world of his favorite webnovel. What does he do to survive? It is a world struck by catastrophe and danger all around.
His edge? He knows the plot of the story to end. Because he was the sole reader that stuck with it. Read his story to see how he survives!

John was working in his office, looking closely at some documents to inspect and sign on his table.

Romeo came inside the office bringing more files with him with a grin on his face.

"So, you're gonna marry Catherine for real?" he asked.

"Yep, that's my final answer and I'm in the process of filing and obtaining all the necessary requirements for the marriage license."

"You have only known each other for a few months, I think nearly 3 months right? That's too early to marry somebody, and besides, she is too young for you bro!" Romeo commented.

John looked at his best friend in the eyes.

"I'm of marrying age already, she might be too young but as long she loves me, that is all that really matters. I feel like I have known her all my life. I'm willing to face uncertainty in the future whatever it is, as long she is with me we will weather the storm together."

Romeo laughed at the way John uttered those cliches stuff. "You are really in love with the girl. How come you have not introduced her to me yet? Why don't we set up a double date, you and Catherine, my wife and I? How about that?"

John nodded. "Okay, I will set up a date for you to meet my future wife. I will let you know when we are ready."

"I'm looking forward to meeting her. I want to see what you see in her---?" said Romeo.

John dismissed Romeo's doubts.

"We just visited Dahlia's grave yesterday," said John.

"Ohh, you already brought Catherine to meet your 'ex'?"

"How it's going?"

"Huh? What kind of question is that, Romeo?"

"Nothing. I wonder how Dahlia feels right now in heaven while watching the man she loves already got a new girlfriend and he was about to marry that new girl in the coming days."

"She won't mind. I think she will be happy that I was able to finally move on from our dark past."

Romeo broke into a smile. "Yeah, I think so. Congratulation Bro!"

He just smiled at his best friend and return his attention back to what he was doing but he remembered something...

"By the way, I want you to be my witness in our civil wedding."

"Huh? Civil wedding? Why not directly held a church wedding?" asked Romeo.

"Because I want to marry her ASAP! I'm afraid something will happen again. I am afraid she will meet somebody new and that somebody will take her away from me. Besides church wedding takes a long time and I don't like it."

Romeo sighed, he can understand very well his friends fear considering that John already loses his first love due to untimely death seven years ago. "Ah I see, now I understand why the rush. But there will be a church wedding, right?

"Yes of course. It will follow after six months. I still need to inform my parents and my brother in the US so that they can come home and attend to my wedding."

"Okay. Just tell me if you want my assistance. I will help your dream wedding come true. My wife and I will help you with the wedding preparation."

"Thanks, I already had taken care of everything when it comes to the incoming civil wedding. I already applied online to have our birth certificate delivered to me next week. I already have finished the draft of the Letter of Intent To Marry, I can print it anytime and have it signed by Catherine anytime. The CENOMAR will be arriving next week as well. There are minor requirements to obtain the marriage license such as an affidavit of parental advice, community tax certificate, barangay clearance, valid ID's, black & white or colored photos, application for marriage license...."

John was glancing at his list while talking...

Romeo was also glancing at the list and grimaced. "Whoaa that list is long!" he said. He remembers that it's his wife who processes all the requirements for their wedding in the church and all he need to do was to go along with everything she asked and ordered him to do.

He looked at his best friend John's face. What he saw was a very serious and very much in love guy.

"You really love her! It shows in all your efforts. I wish you all the happiness in the world bro! You deserved to be happy after everything that happened to you in the past."

"Yeah. My marriage with Catherine will be a happy and a blissful one. Thanks for your good wishes bro!"

"I guess everything is already well taken care of by you. You seemed to be hands-on with everything."

John smiled. "That shows that I am very serious to make this wedding come true no matter what."

"Okay. Congrats again bro. I will leave now so that you can continue perusing the remaining list of the wedding requirements. Don't forget about the double date, I and my wife are looking forward to it."

John nodded at him.

Romeo exited the office, whistling.

John brought his attention back to the wedding requirements. He still has to obtain a community tax certificate for the two of them, then a wedding seminar certificate of attendance. 

This is awesome, only a few remaining lists to go! He was very excited about the wedding to finally come true.

He pressed the intercom.

Ramon entered his employer's office.

"Sir..."

"Go to Cavite City and fetched Catherine and her cousin Grace. Bring them to the MysticBay Twin Tower. I will wait for them there. They will be waiting at 5:30 PM at the lobby inside the Marigold Hotel. So you better go there now, don't let them wait for long. Tell Catherine I will be waiting for them in the Twin Tower."

"Copy Sir," said Ramon. He exited the office and went towards the elevator.

John called his favorite catering service and ordered a variety of dishes to be delivered in the Twin Tower for their dinner tonight. He needs to impress Grace, Catherine's cousin.

He already had chosen the clothes to wear for the meeting tonight, a polo shirt or something formal, he will play the attentive waiter and serve the girls, then if Grace wants and demanded to see his face, he will have her take a peek of his face for a few seconds as a sign of his being serious.

Everything was happening smoothly as planned...

After their marriage in the church, he will bring Catherine in the US for their honeymoon and he will visit a cosmetic or plastic surgeon specialist there so that he can finally restore his original appearance. It's about time he will get rid of all the scar on his face so that he can accompany his wife in any public outings and not get conscious or bothered anymore with his hideous appearance.

As the positive thoughts flowed into his mind, he felt happy, satisfied and contented with the way things are going in his life. He can no longer ask for more. With Catherine's coming into his life everything falls into the right places, just the way it was supposed to be.

{COMPLETED} The twin sisters, Catherine and Caroline, robbed an old ancestral house out of  pressing necessity. Unfortunately they were caught empty handed by the owner himself and his bodyguards. 

To avoid jail time, Catherine offered her body to the owner in exchange for their freedom.

What happened next...?

A tumultuous, intense and passionate love story between Catherine and the owner named John began to take shape in each chapters of the story.

~~~~~

For John, his first encounter with Catherine was embroiled with lust, not proper and wasn't even built on a solid ground. He thought he already lost her. But he nurtured and kept her memory alive in his mind. How many times he was willing to chase the woman he loves?

For Catherine, she met John for the first time in a cruel stroke of destiny. He ravaged her body for two nights straight. But he left a lasting impression on her. He was her first kiss, the first guy she was physically intimate with. But he wasn't even her boyfriend! He was just a stranger that appeared in her life once, but the imprint he left on her body, his gentleness and his generosity was bound to hunt her forever. How long she can deny the true beating of her heart?

In another time their path was destined to cross again...

Liz could only look at him in a daze for a few seconds, once again wondering if this was the Will that she had entered a relationship with.
When had he become so… Smooth?
Just like he said, the awkwardness was completely gone, and she had to say, she quite liked it.
Besides, that sentence had just been so adorable!
Smiling wide from her heart, Liz nodded and shuffled towards him before slowly leaning to the side and resting her head on his chest.
He had changed into soft cotton clothes, so the combination of the feeling of his skin with the cotton felt amazing, and just like he said, it was definitely the 'best pillow in the house'.
More than anything, it was a warmth that Liz could feel radiating through her the moment her head had touched his chest.
It almost felt as if this pose was so perfect, so meant to be, just like the last piece of a jigsaw puzzle fitting in to form a beautiful picture.
Liz thought she couldn't feel more content than what she was feeling now, but suddenly, she felt him lean his head forward and kiss her at the top of her forehead.
This kiss was much, much different from the hot one before which had awakened her appetite. Instead, she felt new levels of comfort that she did know even existed, and without even realizing it, she closed her eyes and smiled sweetly while saying "mmm."
Hearing this, Will also smiled before laying his hand on her shoulder and pulling her a little bit closer to him.
Of course, Liz was very appreciative of this, and she even moved forward and curled up just like a cat, content and purring.
"Ready for our first movie night?"
It seemed that it was a day for firsts.
First look into his life, first… truly bold moment, first kiss on her forehead and the first experience of what would definitely become one of her most favorite pastimes – cuddling.
Of course, there was still a little distance between them, as Liz still wasn't ready to completely place her body on top of his and once again risk feeling that bulge.
Instead, she was on her side and half of her body was leaning on his chest. Her shoulder was held by his hand and her legs were curled up, and she had to admit that it felt incredibly…using the word he had uttered before unwittingly, awesome.
Did they even really have to watch a movie? Liz just wished that she could stay like this forever and ever, with nothing on the outside affecting her.
It was as if she had entered her own personal paradise, and she wasn't willing to leave, as it just felt so good to stay here, under his arm, on his chest, protected, safe.
Reluctantly, seeing that he was still waiting for an answer, Liz just said, "You pick," Before snuggling in even closer and rubbing her face on his chest.
Feeling this, Will froze for a moment, and he had to fight hard not to have that bulge come up again.
Quickly distracting himself using the list of movies on the screen, he started browsing through them, while resisting the urge to once again tilt her head up and kiss her.
He could tell clearly that she was not yet ready, and she was not even in that mood, but he couldn't help it – she was simply blowing his mind due to the feeling of elasticity that was pressing on the side of his body, and her firm thighs which were visibly framed by the pajamas.
In fact, she was even wearing a loose shirt, and when he had looked down before, he had seen a hint of her titillating cleavage, which had threatened to drive him mad.
Hence, he had resolved to keep his head upright, lest he give in and regret later.
He, too, was someone who had explored that side of life before, so he knew that the best approach was to take it slow, and that was also the approach with the most fun.
However, how the hell was he supposed to control himself when this woman kept snuggling closer and closer to him, pressing those incredible buns harder and harder on his body?!
Thankfully, Liz was too busy enjoying the feeling of feeling warm and protected by him, that she didn't notice the expression of contortion on his face, almost as if he was constipated.
Finally picking the movie that, according to Mary, Liz loved to watch over and over again, he tried to push those thoughts out of his head while not giving any indication to Liz.
Thankfully, hearing the opening music, Liz opened her eyes and raised her head, just like a cute squirrel that had borrowed safely into a hollow before smelling the aroma of its favorite food.
As the title, "Ocean's 8" flashed across the scene, Liz finally extracted herself a bit more and half-turned towards the screen with interest.
Thank god! 
Breathing a sigh of relief, Will felt like chuckling at Liz's weird taste, amused that she was a fan of heist movies.
Weren't movie nights supposed to be filled with romantic movies that made couples lovey-dovey?
Well, it seemed that they were a couple which broke cliches.
"Mary said you would love to watch this, no matter how many times you watched it before. Why do you like heist movies like these so much?", he asked, curious.
However, hearing no reply from Liz, he wondered whether he had touched upon a sensitive topic.
Just when he was about to say that she didn't need to answer, Liz spoke in a faint voice filled with an emotion he couldn't describe.
"It's because when we had nothing, I and Luke used to watch these movies and dream about earning a better life, even if it meant going on the wrong path for it. We didn't end up doing that, but we still dreamed it."

Liz didn't know what she was getting into when she accepted a job offer to work as the personal assistant of the acclaimed coldest CEO in New York. Born in one of the richest families in the world, her employer was rumored to be more machine than man, with many resigning before her because they couldn’t handle the work atmosphere.

The money was good, and she could stay with her family instead of leaving a step-brother who was still a kid and an irresponsible mother alone.

It was only later that she realized that the word ‘cold’ wasn’t enough to describe this man who, without her knowledge, led a life which was not as perfect as others imagined.

Find out what happens when a fiery love meets a frigid heart that has been frozen for decades.

This is a story of emotions, family, and friendship.

'A talented little fellow without the countenance of those annoying rich kids…' That was Baiyi's impression of this boy whom he had already coined a prodigy.
Being called a prodigy by a Voidwalker was a rare honor for anyone! Of course, this did not mean that the lad should be too pleased with himself. After all, he was being barely considered a prodigy by Baiyi, and frankly, almost everyone in the Void could be called a prodigy of inhumane proportions, even without their individual eccentricity.
Besides, prodigies had always been overrated. Going for the Legendary-level in one's '20s was not too impressive when one remembered that even a capitalistic magnate like the clumsy Undine had done it, too. Back then, her actual skills and abilities were, well… in summary, Producing prodigies using money was a common occurrence. Ergo, the most valued talents were those who not only possessed the required skills, but also those who had been through the trials of life and matured because of it.
Baiyi was not only willing to talk with this boy because of his capability and resourcefulness in solving the previous test, but also because he was endeared to that mien of modesty and pragmatism — rare qualities hard to find in young men his age.
"You are?" Baiyi started a conversation. Then, upon realizing that he did not sound polite, especially when it was a conversation between two men, he corrected himself, "What's your name?"
"Jones. Jones Joseph," the boy replied, mentioning an alliterative name that could be easily picked up from any "Most Popular Baby Boy Names" list. The name was so common that nothing — like a sudden meteor shower — happened when he uttered it.
'Joseph? ...You were a famous actor before, right? Cause you reminded me of Joseph Gordon-Levitt[1]', Baiyi commented to himself. Outwardly, he continued to ask, courteously, "Career?"
"A teacher in an unknown academy," the boy answered plainly.
Technically, there was no such thing as an "unknown academy" in the world, for there were not many academies out there, to begin with. This world was nothing like Earth — which was a world saturated with all sorts of schools that teach way too many varieties of subjects, ranging from culinary arts and machine operations to piloting gigantic mechas and planet-destroying death stars.
Hence, "an unknown academy" was a just a roundabout way — used by various academies — to refer to education institutions that were going rapidly downhill, with the possibility of going out of business. Another example of such an academy would be Mia and Tisdale's Celestial Fortress Academy.
It already took considerable skills to start an academy, but it would take even more than that to keep the academy running. There were no tax exemptions or subsidies for educational institutions in this world, and so any academy could easily find itself battling mismanagement, insufficient investment, a minuscule amount of cash-in-hand, loss of teachers, and loss of students. Hypothetically, if the unfortunate academy did not play host to brave female students who could become idols[2] or work as tank-operating mercenaries[3] to generate revenue for the institution, it would be easy for the academy to dissolve completely within a short period of time. 
Now, what if one wanted their academy to survive for a longer period of time? The Academy would either have to be so bombastic that it defeated any man's nature to throw shades at it — or it would have to suck up to the likes of the royals, the aristocrats, and business tycoons, providing them with a number of skilled men and women every year; despite that, the academy would also have to be content kissing the behinds of these royals, aristocrats, or business tycoons. 
However, if the tycoons and nobles decided to shake off the academies that sucked up to them, it would spell disaster for the educational institutions. From his conversation with the boy, Baiyi's discovered that the academy the boy lectured at was called 'Ivy Academy'— a name which shook Baiyi. However, despite the uncanny similar name it shared with the Ivy League, Ivy Academy apparently lacked much in every other department, compared to the Ivy League. Ivy Academy was once an elite school, but it went gradually went downhill after a time. This was because the position of academy principal was passed down to the principal's descendants, whether they were deserving of it or not, due to the unreliable bloodline hereditary system that the academy utilized. Therefore, as more generations passed, the academy's quality kept declining.
There was a time when the Ivy Academy could still rely on a certain degree of financial aid from the Northern Duke — who was Vidomina's father — to survive a little longer, but ever since the Duke's health began to deteriorate, their funds were cut off, leaving the academy in a poor state. At that period, it could only boast of 30-something students and 1 teacher. The Ivy Academy had now turned into something like the Make-A-Wish Foundation Elementary School.
That only teacher left at Ivy Academy was none other than the youth in front of Baiyi, Jones Joseph. It was no wonder that he was so tight on money. With an academy like Ivy Academy, it would be shocking if Joseph Jones still got paid, especially now that bankruptcy was almost more inevitable for the academy.
Hence, what could be the source of his determination? It stemmed from a very dramatic story.
Joseph was a young lad borne into an abject noble family that was almost no different from other commoners; the only difference was that they possessed a last name. As per a typical wuxia plotline, Joseph's family had a patriarch who dreamed of restoring the family to its former glory. The patriarch decided to place that dream on the shoulders of his son. The patriarch sold the only valuable he owned, and Joseph was sent to Ivy Academy, which was the cheapest academy back then. This decision left the Patriarch so poor, he could only live on as a farmer.
Not only did Joseph prove himself to be exceptionally talented, but — and most importantly — he also proved himself to be devoted and driven. He was ardent in his studies, and he took up part-time jobs in his free time. He impressed what few lecturers were left in the academy at the time, and they all taught him as much as they could. They also introduced him to the only granddaughter of the sitting principal.
As per cliches, the sitting principal approved of Joseph, and he allowed the two to fall in love and be happily married. When Joseph finished his studies, he returned to the academy as a lecturer, and it was at that time that his wife bore him a daughter.
At this point, one would think that Joseph's story would continue following the path of cliches. If it did, Joseph would have become even more driven, and with his burning conviction, the academy would begin to improve. Then, he would go on to solve many problems that arose later on, collect all kinds of rare items and treasures, and build up an impressive harem whose females would all live in harmony, only as long as they all got equal loving from Joseph[4].
However, Joseph was not a protagonist, and all that did not happen. When the old principal died, the position of principal was passed onto Joseph's wife, and after that, the academy deteriorated even more, inching ever closer to the abyss of hopelessness.
This development was not of Joseph's doing. He had worked his hardest, offering every inch of himself that he could to save the academy. However, he still had hope, despite the terrible luck that had befallen him. Hence, he chose to participate in the Power Level Examination because he badly needed the title of 'Legendary-level sorcerer' to bring some respect and recognition back to Ivy Academy. If that happens, maybe some tycoons would find his powers useful enough to aid him a little. In the worst case scenario, he would still be able to use the newfound special rights from his status as a Legendary-level sorcerer to mitigate some of his funding [5]problem.
"For what reason have the two of you not given up? What is it that has made you persevere for so long?" Baiyi asked.
Joseph gave Baiyi a strained smile and shook his head helplessly. Then, suddenly, he replied in a determined voice, "My wife and I made a promise to Grandfather: we will never give up on the Academy!"
'What stubborn couple,' Baiyi sighed quietly. Unrealistic dreams like these were always like fireworks on a night sky — dazzling, captivating, and moving. However, it was still transient.
This time, luck was on Joseph side. Not only was Baiyi one of those people who appreciated the beauty of determination, but he was also searching for his own teaching staff.
Baiyi patted Joseph's shoulder and said, "When this exam was over, I'm buying you a drink."
"Wha—?" Joseph looked at him, feeling perplexed.
"Hey. I listened to your story, so shouldn't you return the favor?" Baiyi's reply hid a smile, and the soul armature turned to continue the other tests.
Joseph remained where he was, feeling stunned. Then, he shook his head hard. He wasn't sure why he had told a stranger so much about himself, especially in the middle of an exam… Could it be because he liked the soul armature's name? Hope… something he was trying to realize.
Meanwhile, in the Void, Baiyi said, "Man, I must hand it to the Charlatan. His secret techniques are always so effective when used on highly-spirited shonen-characters! Now all I need to do next is to complete my investigation into his backstory. He looks like a great addition to my teaching staff, judging by his impressive academic skill and his humble personality. Besides, he's already married and has a daughter."
"And, of course, you emphasized the part after 'besides'," the Soul Armature Practitioner helplessly said. "Are you sure that he will accept your bizarre students and his future colleagues, who are really just plushies?"
"Ay? This doesn't sound like you," Baiyi replied. "You're the one here whose dream was to become an animal trainer… Now you're doubting my students?"
"It's precisely the fact that not many people think like me that worries me, alright?" the Soul Armature Practitioner replied, with a sigh.
"Oh, nothing to worry about. He even persists through the painful state his academy is in; there's no way he won't be able to stomach some literate animals and plants," Baiyi's replied, brimming with confidence.
By this point, the last test of the exam was over, and the examiner handed Baiyi his form, which was filled with purple "excellent" stamps. All that remained was to wait for the result, which would be announced the next day. After the result announcement, the Association would then delegate missions to the candidates who passed — which was really just a thinly-veiled attempt at getting cheap labor for the Sorcerer Association — and after these missions were completed, the Power Level Examination would truly be over.
Baiyi was not in a hurry to leave. He loitered around the exit for a while until Joseph came. It was already noon by then, so Baiyi invited the young man to a small tavern inside the Association's headquarters.
Joseph only ordered the cheapest pieces of bread, without any drinks. As he stuffed them into his mouth, he looked at Baiyi with a curious expression. After a while, he asked, "Sir Hope, did you… did you cast a subliminal message on me?"
'He realized it? What a perceptible young man,' Baiyi thought to himself. But outwardly, he denied it quite strongly, "No way! I am not that sort of person. Besides, a legendary-level sorcerer like yourself would have easily noticed it, right?"
Of course, the Fifth Walker did not use a technique as useless as subliminal messages. What he used, however, was a far more advanced and skillful illusion technique.
"My deepest apologies. Please pardon my boorishness," Joseph hurriedly replied. "It's just that, well... for someone I just met, I think you are very amicable…"
"That's purely because we are both working in the same field. After all, I'm also a teacher in an unknown academy," Baiyi replied. "But then again, we still have our differences."
Using that as a pretext, Baiyi proceeded to give Joseph a summary of his students' situations.
"Huh. Celestial Fortress Academy, which is fabled to have 2000 years of history, is also heading in that direction?" Joseph sighed, feeling a little nostalgic.
[1] Well, for those unfamiliar with the type of charm Gordon-Levitt brings — well, he's famous for his boyish, high-school-crush type of hotness which isn't too disillusioning hot that you can't muster the courage to approach him (source: people who find him adorable). ...So I supposed our Jones Joseph would probably by casted by Gordon-Levitt if this turned into a Netflix-original Live Action!
[2] Love Live! School Idol Project reference— the idol show to sate your K-on vacuum… maybe.
[3] Girls und Panzer. Cool, Japan. Very cool.
[4] Baiyi the prophet, seeing into his own future?
[5] What Joseph really needs is a Kickstarter campaign, innit? Maybe he could make Youtube videos and get monetized for it for side income! A good-looking lad still has an advantage over a visual medium...


Imagine being forced to live, after death, as incorporeal bodies trapped in a vast space of nothingness for thousands of years, with nothing to do but exchanging past memories with other cohabitants (read: weirdos).  Everybody wanted out, but there was no way to leave the Void... 
Until one day, a young man was finally summoned, as a powerful but reluctant mentor, by a bubbly and motivated but completely naive young girl. Baiyi, finally out of the Void, was the only one who could save all of the other 32 souls from their prison and his summoner might just be The Key to their freedom.
However, Baiyi had to use the techniques and abilities the other souls had taught him throughout the years, and together with his own extensive knowledge of anime and game tropes from his shady and dangerous past as an otaku, to face the biggest challenge of them all: training the clumsy young girl he was forced to partner up with… into a competent sorcerer!

Hey this is my first story to have published for others to see so if you have any advice for me I would love to hear it.

I read a lot of stories. So sometimes I might subconsciously make my story like others you may have read. I will try to put my own twists on some of the cliches (probably not because I'm a sucker for cliches) to give the story a more original feel to it. 

This will be a fast romance because I prefer it that way personally. And there might incorrect information but remember that this is a fiction story that is fantasy so things won't be the same as real life 

If you still don't like it then just don't read it, simple. And I will give you a warning there will be mature parts and I will put an M next to the episode (chapter) name. So I hope you enjoy and give me plenty of feedback.

This is a story I created on a whim which means I have not planned out the story at all. So expect a lot of editing maybe some plot changes throught the story. I'm creating this as I'm writing so I don't know how long it will be and I get bored easily so I will write when I feel like it. Because I have depression and anxiety along with being a hormonal 16 year old, so my moods and feelings get in my way a lot. Don't expect to much or good quality. It will be cliche and probably poorly written since I'm on my own. 

Now that that is out of the way, Enjoy!!

Scarlet Winter age 24, an A-list actress that has won many awards, suddenly dies in an accident. She wakes up to find that she is not in her world anymore.

She was reborn as the heroine in a cliche CEO novel. In the novel the heroine had the same name and age as her but her personality was horrible and all the readers hated her. The only good thing is she is described to be a goddess walking among mortals. 

To top it off at the time she transmigrated and has 5 year twin children because of a one night stand, but she has yet to meet the ML. So now she has to raise the two little ones she has come to love and launch her acting career again. Will she be able to do it? Or will someone hinder her plans?

On The Otherside of the Story

Ace King (male lead) is the young and talented CEO of Empire Corporations that is a leader in multiple industries. His net worth is in the trillions, he has been described as a God because of his looks, and his IQ is insane. So from that you can tell women (and sometimes men) throw themselves at him. Because of his family and their fame people always have a hidden agenda towards him even when he was young. It made him cold and aloof to everyone but his family.

One night at a more casual meeting at club he was drugged by the other party. He didn't want to sleep the woman the other person wanted so he grabbed a random, drunk woman and used her. (I know sounds bad but that is what he thought) The next morning she was gone before he could ask for her name, and she left him 1000 dollars. 

He spent years trying to find her to when one day he finally did but she wanted nothing to do with him, why? Women would usually do anything to be with him but now that he's wanting to take responsibility she says no. He finds out about their children. What will he do?

Anna snickers, "You know, love? You're jinxing yourself more than you hate it. Hehe."

Sherwin rolled his eyes and decided to call the General.

General: "Yo, kid! Have a lead?"
.
Sherwin: "Yes, sir. My system gave me hint that the criminal that made this situation is currently on his/her way here now, minus three hours left, sir."
.
General: "I see, I'll send some troops above Galaxy Marshals then. I don't want some cliches that this person had some plot armors to get away from us. If that's all kid, I'll be going then. And if this criminal is apprehended then I'll give you some gifts."
.
Sherwin: "Sir! I request for the Team Trolls to go inside before we close the portal."
.
General: "Kid, I know that you already given facts about that, right?"
.
Sherwin: "Yes, Sir! I know I'm being selfish and involving them for this shits that happening down here but I just want to make sure that there are some help that I can get if this situation might get out of hands and don't have the ability to face them. 10% of Time Energy and Elements isn't enough for unknown things to happen. Sir, I know this Time power is overpower for this future problems but it's my conjecture that making the Time itself stop or rewind it puts the Sun under a lot of stress too. Correct me if I'm wrong, sir. That why I don't dare to cast them casually."
.
General: "... ... Hahahaha! Kid! Hahaha. I'm sure that those Government people that gave you that power are grinding their teeth's now. Hahaha, I didn't expect that you have this deep understanding for the Time itself or maybe you're just being paranoid, but this moved made you alive. Hahaha. That's right, even you have that power it doesn't mean that you can freely use that. For now, you can't stop the time or rewind it as you said, it will put the Star under a lot of stress too to go Supernova and same with the Black Hole but don't worry about the Black Hole inside the Galaxy as they can shoulder the burden of Time Stop or Rewind. Maybe after you understood the Time behind the Black Hole, that those things are what making the Time works in the Galaxy, you can stop the Time or rewind as you need to stop the Black Hole too. Confused? Hahaha. Let's stop this topic about Time. It's already a lot of information to help you understand that power. So, about the Team Trolls... Hmm... Maybe I can give 'Ok' for that as you're the victim here from the criminal and Liang Sheng's conflicts. Next?"

.
General: "No."
.
Sherwin: "Ugh, what a fast response."
.
General: "But I can give order for the Team Trolls to interfere the battle, and with restrictions for their real strength of course. We already know where's the other end of that Space Portal so don't worry about those Trolls' travel time to that portal. Those trolls are bored all this time, maybe this thing can give them some exercise. You don't know how much headaches they are giving us. Troublesome. Sigh. If that's all, then let's end this call."

Sherwin sighs and look at Anna. "I got permission for the Team Trolls to sortie inside. I just wish that I won't complete that sub-mission about the crossworlders before we're done with this shit first."

Anna: "Darling..."

Sherwin: "Yes, sweetheart." he looked at her where she is currently running with him as she puts her index finger below her chin to think something.

Anna: "Now that you mention 'wishes' and 'luck', I think you're Luck works with the opposite of your wishes... right?" she said after looking at him while attempting not to laugh, 'Let's look innocent Anna, innocent.'
 
Sherwin: "..."

Anna: "... What?"

Sherwin: "... I don't know if you really want to see me fucked over by something or not."

Anna: "Oh! Darling! You don't know how much I want to fuck you right here right now." she said after activating her Lustful Eye Technique.

Sherwin: "... Ugh, Even if I want too. The time is not enough, sweetheart." trying to control some lust.

Anna: "Tch... Now, about your luck. Remember what did you wished back there while in training floor?"

Sherwin: "What wish?"

Anna: "That you will start to court me with formalities for my parents and will take our young time for our relationship to go stronger and some smoother after that training but since I didn't know that. I made a move while you're sleeping and Dad found 'us' naked to each other. I'm under before you on the bed (while he's sleeping, she moved his body to put on her top, to feel the feeling of someone she love on top of her). Haaa" she said while reminiscing that scene.

Sherwin sweated after remembering that scene. "You know I'm asleep back there. And suddenly, I'll received a kick from your Dad while pointing his shotgun onto my face."
.
"FBI!" 

*Door was kick open

Matsukage said and entered the room toward Sherwin, kicked this young man and pointed his shotgun. He glared at Sherwin. "What the fuck are you doing young man? She's still under age for that kind of thing!"

Sophia: "Fufufu~ I have a son now~" 

Anna shied away under the bedsheet. But snickering, 'Success plan! Hurhur~ *heart Shotgun Wedding!~ Hehehe'

Sherwin: 'What the hell is happening! I'm just training inside my Dream-Timescape while sleeping!' he thought, raising his hands for surrendering for some reason that he doesn't know of.
.
Anna: "Then remembered your Wheel of Fortune or Not? ticket? You saw some OP things in the roulette with fifteen divided parts. You checked your Luck first then confidently spin it, mumbling some 'I got high stats for Luck maybe I got some Plot Armors too for lotteries.' But what did you got? Hahaha. The only one Black, out of the fifteen parts, with 'Nothing' in it?" she laughs that almost tripped her on the ocean.

Sherwin: "... Shut up." he scratched his cheeks and looked away. "It doesn't mean anything at all for the opposite thing that you're talking about."

Anna: "Then how about you wished that you just want to live with me and love me happily without shits left and right? I'm not mad or something or pointing that this is your fault. I'm just stating the fact. Maybe this Liang Sheng rigged your Luck stats, and only works for the opposite of wishes."

Sherwin was gobsmacked by this way of thinking. "Nah, I don't... think... so..." he want to refuse this opinion but The Blue Screen pops up.

A 25-year-old man is so bored, tried to make a story - even if he is just a beginner - because he is lazy as fuck. Doesn't have a serious job and his reason is 'they're boring,' that's all. No need for universe breaking reason, because of what he thought for a couple of seconds for the male lead of his story. He died, oh, nope, sorry that's wrong, he was killed and he became that man.

━━━━━━━━┓ ✠ ┏━━━━━━━━

(Jaiden's POV)

As my vision is a little blurry, with my head, feels spinning, and my consciousness slowly but assuredly fading away, I started to see these tiny droplets of red slowly entering through my clothes, creeping in such a strange way...

"Was that Hades? In the form of cockroaches? Hehehe... There's no way." I cretinously start to converse with my self in vigor to somehow ameliorate the silence that's getting to me.

But then, out of nowhere and unprecedentedly, my consciousness returned to me like the eyesore-causing lights on the background, suddenly filling me up like a jar of water. Eh? What the hell did I want to convey through that weird definitions? But First...

 I wake up from that fainting sensation and found myself obscured in this rather flaxen place with a cold atmosphere making the heat index drop via exponential degree... Hays... It was supposed to be a dark one if we go with the cliches, but whoever put me in here must be that ingenious enough to realize that I can likely manipulate that darkness to get myself out of here. 

So cliches can quite be useful in some specific times huh... But, I stand firm in my belief that cliches are very disturbing. There's no way I'm depriving myself of that golden fact. 

Yet still, what boggles me is the setting's yellow color... Too bright and luminous that it could make my head explode at any second. 

"Yet, where am I?" 

Oh right, I was feined by that hero's easy defeat, hence I let my guard down and Wella, here I am... My paradigm has been canceled by that unpredictable priest and the next thing I knew was being eaten alive in this resplendent place while feeling these many stabs approximately everywhere in my body as if I got tortured or something using Rome's very own tool for persecution, an iron maiden?

"Wait, what were those anyway?" I then examined my body checking as to where those tiny red creeping things went but there's nothing... How I hope that this better not be the story niche where a character of importance suddenly gets Amnesia.

I sat down a little, as my feet begin to gnaw, and I just noticed this many torns in my worn uniform, and as to where I got it, I don't remember. But I did feel like I was pierced by many blades moments ago as I got here, but ghastly, I also have no wounds.

"Oh, Shiro! What, what happened to her?!"

Tsk... There's no time to chill. I have to get out of here.

Remembering that I left a kid in the hands of those aggressive Tarragons who want her for their personal reasons that I am still to know more about, I quickly got up my feet to start thinking any form of stratagem that can likely get me out of here. I then let out of my pen, and to my surprise, it ran out of ink... It must be because of my massive utilization earlier. 

Right, my torn clothes are black...

I then tried to manipulate it, but it's not responding. Still, It's got to be this place. I can't use anything in my Paradigm.

Wait. Calm down... I can't afford to lose even an ounce of my sound logic right now...

Well then, if I can't use anything, I should probably just open my Persona Interface... maybe a guide is there? Not that I remember but it's worth a try...

I then opened up the interface and there, still just the presentation of the most basic information and participant counts... but there's this button that's quite new to me...

Pandora? What's that supposed to be... I have no recollection of it always being here... Still, for its button to appear here, it must be something of cruciality... right?

Without waivers, I then clicked on the button...

But, suddenly a glitch appeared and manifested this malfunctioning-like display..... like a virus in my PI and like potent cancer cells, the reoccurring glitches covered the original interface...then displayed this rather elongated loading screen and these texts with the visual interface now a bit more futuristic.

╔═══━━━─── • ───━━━═══╗

╚═══━━━─── • ───━━━═══╝

What? As though simply switching Google tabs, it mundanely asked, but fortunately, not with an MS Window's prompt box, but with this peculiar interface that I never saw before. It's made up of entirely black unlike the original PI with a gray interface. 

Feeling the curiosity seeping through my vein I clicked yes, and then, the glitch took over everything... and then...

"Greetings, Master!" Suddenly, a feminine three-dimensional human figure appeared with a speech of half realistic and half robotic tone dressed in a black professional suit...with the frameless glasses... with a ponytail hairdo... and with the ideal '(w)oppai'...

"And what the hell should you be?" Choosing to ignore and divert my eyes from these rather, 'unexplainable' features, I asked...

"Pardon, master... My name is 'Azazel', a fixed autonomous intelligence designed to organize the third party program 'Pandora.EXE'. I, together with the program was created by your Goddess Dea Lacrimosa with the remaining of her points of authority before it reached zero."

"What the hell is this...?" brimming with curiosity, I yelled even though I understood half of what she said...

"Pardon, Master, it seems that I may have introduced myself inefficiently...I am 'Azazel', a fixed autonomous Intelli-..."

"Yeah-yeah... I know." I stopped the redundant repetition. 

"Nice to meet you, Master Jaiden" the teen AI displayed in the interface then bowed in kindness in a very orderly manner.

What? The hell is this? An AI, from that goddess? And It calls itself 'autonomous' and 'augmented' ... Well, first I must clear out the most basic questions...yet, again.

"Hey..."

"What is it, master?"

"What's Pandora.exe?"

"It's an illegal third party program that has the ability to organize your skills, your paradigms and can likely answer all of your questions in accordance with this realm, hence called 'Pandora' which means... 'All Gift'. 

" Illegal? Then is it okay to have you around?"

"Unfortunately no, Master... I am by all means illegal, If Ethereal paradigm will detect my existence, I will be erased, quite possibly, with...you."

Oh, it is that bad... Quite the opposite of what I presumed it to be.

"So your existence alone is an obvious rebellion against the ruling system in this realm?"

"Yes... But, no need to be concerned Master. Our beautiful Goddess made sure that my existence is of the highest classified case."

"Y-yeah... Not that I became confident because of that evidence-depraved statement from a cute 3d artificial intelligence. But, Lacrimosa... how much a cheat could she really be? I mean, implanting a program in the Ethereal Paradigm? I hate to admit it, but it's rather too clever for braggadocio like her.

"Did Lacrimosa really create you?" I asked to somehow minimize the doubts that I am having. 

"Correct, Master, and to prove my stead, I have a letter from her, to you..."

"Before that, could you let me out of here?" As the thoughts of Shiro in danger came to me, I literally have no time to listen to another balderdash from that Goddess.

"What could your concern be, Master?"

"Uhmmm... I don't know if I should be telling you this, but I have to get out of here to save a little girl. The one I was with earlier we met."

"Miss Shiro?"

"Eh?"

"Shiro was her name, Master?"

"Yes... Is- is she okay?"

"Scanning vital signs... heart rate... brain activity... All functional, Master."

"Wait, you can see her?"

"No master, but I can read her in the form of Boolean Binary...and I can tell that 3 million Tarragons are coming this way."

"Not that I completely understand what you just said, but 3 million? Just what the hell happened when I was out for like a few minutes? Where is she?"

"Calculating exact coordinates 41°24'12.2"N 2°10'26.5"E. ... Distance is 5 meters, 30 meters altitude... The distance of opponents, 4.36 miles with one opponent, badly hurt, 2.5 miles."

Wait, she's flying at 30-meter altitude, how? I then looked around, but all I see is the yellow annoying brightness

"Oh Master, Miss Shiro is not here... As you can see, you have been sealed by a canceling paradigm. As of now, you are inside an object."

Sent to a 'Reality' game decreed by the Divines, and where killing should be the new norm, would players go head-to-head? Or hand-in-hand? Will a sociopath, anti-mainstream survive? Yet, in all of the cascades of questions, one fact remains inevitable... That the pilgrimage that awaits is one infernal warfare where dystopia, despair, and derangement runs to and fro, seeking who they may devour. And here we find a life tainted with nothing but monochromes and devoid of sociality, Jaiden Axcel Cendrillon. He unknowingly became a part of this serious game after signing a contract with the Goddess of disambiguation "Lacrimosa", without first reading the terms and conditions. Little did he know, that he is about to become the vessel of the goddess' will, a wielder of her immense power and that soon, he will venture a mystic realm where his life will be in constant 50/50 gamble going against the odds, with a genius girl classmate he least expects to be with.

Next morning when i wake up i didn't see Rose, well this might seem normal but no, she's lazy at home so there must be something going on, making my way over to Hyoudou's i found my wife signing contracts with her new devil wings unfurled and with a grin that screamed shopping trip.

Jacob"Good morning ?"

"Good morning"

Jacob"What happened to Rose"

Rias"Odin left her here so i offered her my last rook piece *gasp* i forgot to ask you sensei is that alright"

Jacob"She's free to choose her job don't speak like it's middle age by the way did your people prepared the passes for the Kyoto trip"

Rias"Yes we get them early on ohh and Odin left a sword saying that it's just came out from the forge we couldn't lift it it's on the back"


Seriously actually this would be beneficial to me as well my wife is finally here with me she can also help my project as well and i might as well visit Yasaka and Kunou during the trip and my sword is ready let's hope this one doesn't broke.
____________________
During next couple days Rose started working as a teacher and we were having the best time of our marriage what is this felling yeah i am content, while i was imagining another wild night with my wife i got a call from Kunou.

Jacob"What happened Kunou you wouldn't call me like this normally"

She seems haggard, bags under her eyes and Yasaka would be with her whenever she calls but she's not there let's hope it's nothing bad, considering that ORC is going to Kyoto i doubt it's anything good.

Kunou"Onii-chan humans with sacred gears kidnapped mother there was purple smoke and fighting and she was gone can you help"

Jacob"Okay i am on my way but let me inform people here and some devils from Gremory's and Sitri's are going to Kyoto for school trip don't mistake them for foes"

After getting more details i went and talked to Azazel who identified the purple smoke as Dimension Lost which can't be traced apparently and the group as Hero Faction, is this one of those cliches where the villains call themselves heroes ? anyway after getting info, informing the kids and saying goodbye to my wife that kept on checking her bank account, seriously how much did Rias pay to her, i teleported to Yasaka's Shirine.
____________________
Getting over here i had to console Kunou while informing the Yokai on the enemy and how we can't locate them the normal way since they hide in another dimension, i decided to roam around for a couple days at least until the school trip, if they are targeting high profile people they would come for me.

With that in mind i started to roam around Kyoto which i know my way around due to living here for two years, first day i felt like i was being watched due to that i did not go back to the shirine even if it's an ambush me and my new and shiny sword will be ready.

Finally at the day which the school trip starts i am in my hotel room and i am waiting for my guests after around an hour i can feel like i am being swallowed by a fog when i opened my eyes the person standing in front of me is unfortunately a familiar face.

Jacob"Hello Jeanne alter"

Jeanne"What alter ?"

Jacob"Didn't you go evil and start killing innocent don't think i didn't find dead yokai during my patrols"

Jeanne"Haha i see i thought i could invite you to our side but it seems like you already chosen your side among monsters"

Jacob"Well you guys will end up destroying the world and last i checked i loved living so yeah."

Jeanne"WE JUST WANT TO SUMMON GREAT RED SO WE CAN KILL IT"

Jacob"You guys can't even scratch it's scales, it's the strongest dragon for a reason and thanks for saying your plans great job fake saint"

Jeanne"You!!! get ready to die BALANCE BREAKER"

I was already waiting for her attack it's been years since i last saw her but her fighting style hasn't changed and she's weaker than me after breaking her dragon with a strong aard and slapping the bitch away, i was just ready to capture her but she asked for help.

Jeanne"Georg sent him out!"

Right after that i find myself back at my hotel room surrounded by cannon fodder which i got rid of rather quickly, i made my way back to the shirine, it's weird but i keep seeing dudes molesting women and why does that red ball has Issei's aura ?
____________________
Getting back to the shrine i found Azazel and Sera, then explained what i have learned and the red molesting ball which even caused Sera to facepalm.

Next day i am accompanying the tour alongside Kunou because she wanted to come along the tour, since we can't find them might as well be ready for anything, and like it's some kind of plot device we found ourselves facing against Hero Faction and their leader Cao Cao who happened to have the True Longinus, after exchanging some words on how humanity is the superior and how it's heroes job to kill monsters and how they are going to summon great red tonight, we started to fight i let Azazel have Cao Cao they have like 50 people here i am the only one that could do crowd control.

Our fight came to an short end after Le Fay bless her soul came and wrecked the place with her iron golem (That guy had a name but i don't remember) just to return the Excalibur Ruler back to Irina as an apology from Vali's group huh they're really going for that redemption arc.
____________________
Tonight is the night of the said ritual we even found Issei's molesting potential but he has yet to unlock it i would be making popcorns for it if not for Yasaka's condition, Azazel merged rest of Vritra gears with Saji in hopes of awakening the dragon king, we are patrolling for the entrance points for the alternative dimension (Because they want to crush us ? hoe heroic) around 23PM the whole shirine got engulfed in smoke but it appears i am teleported to the far back as if the world itself wants plot running without interference well, can't do anything about that but i can do something about the army of so called heroes in front of me, time to harvest.

I kept killing my way towards where a giant yellow fox fighting a black dragon kids might not be up for killing but these fodder don't know shit since i checked they are either bought by Cao Cao or they got brainwashed they don't even know why are they here at the end of my slaughter i started to feel bad but i gone away rather quickly.

Coming to the center i see that the kids got beaten (Hah plot device called it) and the heroes moving towards Yasaka, jumping in front of Cao Cao i started to fight to my joy the rest are just watching it would have been a problem if they gone ahead i can hold 5 of them back but one of the kids can overwhelm me with his monster creating gear, after slashing an X on Cao Cao's face which was supposed to kill him if not for Dimension Lost we got a suprise in the shape of half naked Rias being summoned by Issei and the following power up, Cao Cao was already unstable due to his scars and Issei took one of his eyes as well, after they ran away i got to meet Sun Wukong which reminds me snoop dogg, then we released Yasaka, healed up the rest Azazel and i got rid of bodies without kids seeing them they are rather sensitive against death.

Rest of the school trip went along with Kunou guiding the way while i stayed at the Shirine working through the paperwork that piled up because of this event i already lived here for a while so i let the others enjoy it.
____________________
While i was going through them alongside doing calculations for my project Azazel swung by,

Azazel"What's up with all these calculations"

Jacob"I am looking for a type of crystal for a project"

He looked at my already tried list and said.

Azazel"Why didn't you try Agares Crystals that's used to make evil pieces and brave saints"

Jacob"Aren't they limited would they give it to me ?"

Azazel"Hahaha don't worry about it they are trying to find a way to pay you back for all the things you did, it seems they don't think money would suffice"

Jacob"Huh ? it's fine but i won't say no to rare materials like Agares Crystal"

Azazel"Good i let Serafall know but you might want to try pure crystal from heaven as well"

I raised my brow.

Azazel"Well they ran out without Father's prsence but i will look for one for you see if there any unused ones"

Jacob"Thanks"
