In the beginning of the school year, Serenity Luope and Adrian Weila were assigned to the same dorm room. Shocked at first, Serenity starts being vigilant towards him. Unexpectedly, Adrian falls first. 
Let's see where this rollercoaster of feelings will take them.

Ow, that really did a number on me, well quite frankly that isn't the worse death I've had so far. And I have had quite a lot. I stared up at the ceiling of my room feeling slight pinches of pain from the impact of the Jeep. I jumped out of bed and made it up, then I saw my luggage, crap. I'm supposed to move into the dorm in a week and I was supposed to have left thirty minutes ago, well I haven't really given thought to college nor to when I am supposed to go. Ah, well this life I'll try to live normally, luckily this is my first time going to this certain college. Might as well give it a go. I packed extra things in and ran down, how could I forget this means I won't need to worry about my parents or my grades, and I mean that in a good way. I ran into the kitchen. My parents were arguing about what they wanted to give me as my going away present. Like always, but I knew what they wanted to give me. I kissed my father's cheek startling him, then I hugged my mother's form from behind her, she whirled around and nearly hooked me with the knife she used for cutting the bread. Wow, been there already done that so no thanks! I ducked back and fell on perpase.
"Oof! Mom, watch out!" The words tasted fiergn in my mouth but I said them nonetheless. My mother placed her hands in front of her mouth.
" I am so sorry, Ly, I thought...." She began but smiled as I got back onto my feet. I smiled right back and kissed her cheek.
" Mom, since you guys are done arguing can I have some more art supplies please, mine are up." I casually said as I took my car keys from the key hanger.
"Oh, of course we'll send some to your dorm room for you, love." My father said smiling superiorly at mother making her stick her tongue out.
" Thank you, guys love ya see you in the holidays again!" I said as quickly kissed them again and took my perse from the coffee table. I threw my jacket on and picked up my luggage after opening the door. After I had placed all of my belongings into the trunk I got into my car and ignited the engine. I wonder if I'd be lucky enough to be left alone. Nope focus or there will be another car accident in my list of death. Which would certainly be a lot of car accidents, what is it with people and car accidents? Ah no, no, no, focus. It took me a while but eventually, which is four days and thirty six minutes later I arrived at the dorm ground of the Evangeline University of Maryland.

"Hmm, Irvine Lang is it...?" The university student in front of him took the invitation letter and ID card that Irvine had prepared beforehand as she tried to input his data to the computer.
 
When she'd heard his name the first time, the female student had felt that it was slightly familiar, a feeling that had caused her to space out a little at the start.
 
"Is there a problem?"
 
Seeing the unusual reaction, the senior male student next to her also came to approach and check on the situation.
 
"Nn, Not really, I just found his name somewhat familiar." She whispered in a lower voice so Irvine who was standing in front of them couldn't hear.
 
"Maybe he's a famous athlete, ours is a reputed university in many fields, there's bound to be a few well-known people coming here every year."
 
"Not that! You know me, I don't follow any kinds of sports."
 
"Well, still. Just process him first alright?"
 
"Right."
 
.
.
 
"...There, it's done! And with that, I officially welcome you to Ravenville, freshman!"
 
"Thank you."
 
"Is it all over? Or is there still something else I should do?" Irvine thanked his would be seniors for their services before asking what to do next.
 
"You're welcome! We've assigned you to Building-19 for your dorm this year, all you need to do now is just to connect your student ID with the building and your room, the building manager on the first floor can help you with this."
 
"You see, the student ID is used for pretty much everything here in campus. They double as a key card to many of the accessible facilities, and you can also put money in it to pay for most things." The male student added a little more explanation on the ID's function.
 
"Oh, and here it is. Your student ID card." At the end, he took out a plate of plastic card fresh from the printer with Irvine's photo, name, year, and student number on it.
 
"You can take it to your dorm first. You need to put away your luggage before doing anything else right?"
 
"Yes. Once again, thanks very much for this." Irvine gave a light nod to his two seniors.
 
"No problem. We're already schoolmates here so good luck!"
 
Irvine promptly proceeded to walk away from the counter after receiving the card and the documents back.
 
As advised, he was planning to go check out his dorm room and walk around the campus for a while before going to the prearranged meeting with the Battle Arena team in the afternoon.
 
'My first destination is the dorm building. Where is it again, Building-19...'
 
Irvine took out a brochure-shaped map of the campus ground from his pocket. An indispensable item for any new students unfamiliar with the school.
 
'Hm, it's not that far... I could just run there from here--'
 
"AH!"
 
However, before he had the time to walk outside of the administration building, a loud yell was heard from the direction behind him.
 
At first, he thought it was from the senior student back at the counter. But when he turned around, he saw that a moustached man in a suit was looking at him anxiously.
 
Following the shout, the man walked quickly to his side as he put out his hand for a shake.
 
"Mister Lang! Very sorry I'm late, I'm supposed to be showing you around the campus after you've finished the registration!"
 
"Ah, don't worry about it. I don't think there's any need to--"
 
"No no! I insist! This is the least we could do since you've decided to come to our humble university. Hahaha!"
 
"Well--"
 
"The name's Robert, but you can just call me Bob! No need for honorifics, I'm one of the university's staff in charge of handling the student athletes here in Ravenville."
 
"...Nice to meet you Bob."
 
"Now, let me take you to your dorm first before we go around the rest of the campus. I'll introduce you to all the important facilities until the afternoon when you're supposed to have your gathering with the team. Shall we go with my car?"
 
The whole time, Irvine hadn't been able to get a word in edgewise with the man. He ended up getting dragged outside by him following Bob's own pace.
 
After the moustached man, Bob, successfully pushed Irvine out the glass door, he gave a quick sharp glance back at the direction of the two university students who had processed Irvine's registration previously.
 
The glint in his eyes gave chills to the female student at the counter.
 
"...Oh no!" She suddenly shouted.
 
"What was that?"
 
"I-I think I remembered where I've heard the name... During the briefing yesterday, the teachers have given me a list of people to notify them about if and when any of them come to register."
 
"...And that Irvine Lang just now is on the list?"
 
*nod*
 
"I was supposed to share the list with you too, but the morning turned out to be rather hectic and-- Oh god..."
 
"..."
 
"W, why don't we first make sure that there's no other people on the list from the ones we have processed!"
 
"I'm dead... I hope the school won't take away my extra credits for this."
 
.
.
 
Just as the map had shown him, Irvine's drive with Bob to his dormitory building was relatively short from the administration hall.
 
Instead of partitioning the dorm based on the students' status, Ravenville University put the students of the same faculty or major in the same area block. This had been the way ever since the school's establishment.
 
For Irvine himself, it meant that unless there were other Arena student athletes with the same major as him. It was not very likely to meet another invited players around at least during this period of time.
 
All the rooms in Ravenville were 2-person bedrooms with shared indoor bathroom space and a small cozy living area with a compact dining table at its center.
 
All in all, the design was actually quite luxurious if compared to other colleges that had up to 4 people crammed together in a room.
 
*beep* *click*
 
In front of a room with his name on the plate, Irvine swiped his student card on the sensor lock, making the light on the door handle to turn green allowing him access inside.
 
"Wow."
 
"What do you think?" Bob stood behind him on the hallway and asked with a smile.
 
"Very spacious for a 2-person dorm, I think I'll like it here." Irvine replied politely to the question.
 
"You say that now, but you probably won't be here past your 1st year Mister Lang."
 
"Hm, why is that?"
 
"I've pointed out to you our Arena training field and stadium just now right? The one we drove by?"
 
"Yes."
 
"Did you see the mansion-like building on the side of the stadium too? The one that looked like a private villa?"
 
"..." Irvine seemed to vaguely remember the building that Bob was describing,
 
"Are you saying the Arena team members get to live there?"
 
"Haha, no of course not. Though it looks like that, the place is our Ravenville Illusions athletic facility. The interior was filled with cutting edge technology to both train and maintain one's health." He explained,
 
"From restoration pods, to cryo chambers and saunas, the place have everything an Arena athlete would need."
 
"Like a gym then, so why did you say I won't live here past my freshman year?"
 
"Well it's not JUST training facilities. The building provides many entertainments such as game room, snack bars, and cafeteria. Most importantly, all the 1st string players in the roster are allowed to spend the night and live there during the season. Which is what usually happens."
 
"And considering your title as a Starseed Mister Lang, I just think that by this time next year or even next semester, you'll most likely be part of that same list of players!"
 
'Next year?'
 
"I'm planning to play in the Warrior Crown this year though..." He replied honestly.
 
"..." Bob turned silent for a while at his statement.
 
Not only was Irvine planning to become a 1st string, he's also planning to enter the Crown Tournament as a starter.
 
"Hoho, that'd be something! I guess you can try that too, but."
 
"...I think you'll find that our 1st string players are not so easily replaceable by the freshmen even if it's someone who already got their genes modified like you Mister Lang."
 
What he'd said was not mere provocation because it's true that there're a lot of sophomores who had gone through Gene Mod but stayed in the 2nd string.
 
Even though Bob was not someone who's specifically in charge of Battle Arena student athletes, with how Ravenville was most well-known for that one sport, the entirety of the university paid much attention to the Arena team's development.
 
The staffs, teachers, and even many of the students here were all fans of the Ravenville Illusions just like the citizens of Zeta City were more likely to be fans of the Zeta Androids.
 
"Of course I'd expect nothing less from the top players in college Arena, but. As a player, I should also aim high for myself, shouldn't I?"
 
"...That's true!" Bob laughed at Irvine's answer,
 
"Then I truly look forward to the time where I can see you on the field with our official uniform on. Hopefully bringing victories our way!"
 
"That's the plan. I'll try my best to live up to it."
 
.
 
Irvine's room was on the 4th floor of Building-19.
 
Since there're rarely anyone else on campus who'd been back this early for the new academic year, after inspecting the room a little more and putting away his luggage on his preferred bed, Irvine also left the room to continue the rest of his tour with Bob.
 
From classroom buildings to stores and parks, he drove together in the car seeing the whole area of the campus instead of just the Arena's training field like the last time he'd come by himself.
 
The guided explanation that came with being driven around the many different green scenery of the prestigious university was a very enjoyable experience for Irvine.
 
Plus, there's also the fact that with Bob around, he had covered more ground in a short amount of time that he wouldn't be able to if he was walking around by himself.
 
The area that covered the whole of Ravenville University was huge, to the point that there were free campus buses that circled the premises regularly for students without any means of transport inside.
 
Irvine himself personally thought that he'd rather get a bike after saving some money so that he could get a little exercise in between commutes.
 
.
.
.
 
Closing in on the afternoon.
 
Inside a wide and futuristic-looking locker room with warm lighting, various parts of black, white, and grey exosuits were hung on each of the racks that were a part of the private lockers.
 
Each locker consisted of an equipment rack that took up a large part of the mid-section, the drawers on the left-right and top side of it, and the low seat on the bottom for the player to sit and prepare during briefings.
 
Aside from the locker attached to the room walls, the center area of the room was also filled with rows of padded benches stacked together.
 
Inside this wide empty room, presently there were a few people sitting around and watching a certain video on the wall-mounted large screen TV on one side of the wall.
 
*BUZZ*
 
The hustles and bustles from inside the television were spreading outwardly, filling the whole room with many different topics and discussions.
 
"Goddamn, Adrian Crowe is freaking crazy!" A man with a pair of sharp and slanted eyes commented while munching on snacks in his mouth as he kept watching the match on TV.
 
Currently it was showing the replay of a last-minute saving play performed by the Sigma Conqueror's Ace Fielder.
 
"You know, there're some rumours before that he's coming to play for the Androids." One of the people beside him responded with his own news that he'd heard from somewhere else.
 
"Ah, I heard that too. But the trades and transfers season's over now, if he's coming it could only happen next year."
 
"Hng..." The guy with slanted eyes let out a little groan in response before speaking his own thoughts to the others,
 
"I don't think he's ever going to leave the Conquerors."
 
"Oh, why's that?"
 
"Just my own analysis... If he really does leave by himself, he might not be as great as he is now." He answered.
 
"Well, if you're the one saying it, Clint..."
 
"By the way, where's the captain? Is he registering?"
 
"Old students like us register online idiot."
 
*CLICK*
 
Their casual bicker quickly ended when they heard the door to their locker room being turned open from the outside.
 
*swing*
 
Two silhouettes came in through the open door.
 
As they walked, the two people were instantly noticed by the rest of the players in the room.
 
"Oho, here comes our 2 new star players!" The guy with the sharp and slanted eyes called Clint greeted the oncoming figures from his seat.
 
"It's the pre-season, you guys coming up to the 1st string right...?"
 
"Wallace, Clayton."
 
On the back, the dark-skinned Derrick and bulky Greg slowly walked forward to approach their seniors.
 
"I'm planning to. These 2 weeks will be the final sprint for that." Derrick replied honestly.
 
"How's your new Ability? Adapting well?" Clint grinned.
 
"Yes."
 
"What about you fatty?"
 
"Where do you even see fat in this magnificent body of mine?" Greg felt offended at his remark and showed his bulging muscles even more.
 
"Uwah... Please don't say or do stuff like that, I think I'm gonna hurl."
 
"What are you watching?" Derrick changed the subject with a wry smile.
 
"It's the OPL pre-season friendly match." One of the guys in the room answered.
 
"Oh! The all-star match!"
 
The OPL pre-season match were widely known as the all-star match, where all the notable pro players from the previous season were called out to play against each other.
 
The players invited were all coming from different teams, so the friendly match was hosted using the random draw format between each position to create an impromptu team of all-star players facing each other.
 
It was less of a serious match and more like a service for the fans.
 
"But what about the new recruits? They're coming in shortly and the 3rd years are in charge right?" 
 
"Yeap. We'll take care of them just like how the Captain and the others took care of you guys last year."
 
"..."
 
"By the way Wallace, do you know someone named Irvine Lang from the License Exam?"
 
"Hm? Of course! He's the--"
 
"4th Starseed. I know."
 
"But why are you asking suddenly--" Before he could complete his sentence, an idea started to form inside Derrick's head,
 
"D, don't tell me..."
 
Clint's smile got even wider at this point with his eyes turned into a slit, "Hmhmm, It won't be long before our Ravenville could take the Silver Crown that's for sure."
 
Clint had already seen Irvine's video on the License Exam and were very interested in his playstyle.
 
'That guy's coming to Ravenville!? ...Such coincidence.' Derrick could still remember his performance during the Practical Exam a couple months back.
 
Of course, he knew that the coincidence was only from his point of view because Irvine was one of the very few people titled as a Starseed this year.
 
The other side was probably choosing a college in Zeta City for his own personal reason.

Inspired by the previous era's Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) games, a new Sport was born!

As humanity reached the age of space exploration and [Genetic Modification], the sport of competitive team fighting experience known simply as "Battle Arena" rose to prominence!

Irvine Lang was an older and retired pro player of Battle Arena.

Being a mediocre player throughout his whole career, his retirement life was tinged with regrets over many things.

Lost matches.

Broken relationships.

Unreachable top.

With the hope of entering the pro scene for one last chance at glory, he decided to volunteer for a genetic experimental drug trial that's been said to be able to rejuvenate the recipients to their peak state.

Unexpectedly, the trial ended up giving him more than just a simple rejuvenation as it brought him back to his teenage years!

"This...!"

Follow Irvine as he relived his youth to erase his past regrets and become a top player in Battle Arena!

As days passed by Ema is excited and sad that she will no longer will work as a part-time in the company. Also at the same time Ema still struggle to find friends online that she can trust. Mostly that she can see online is having an experience that they willingly share online. There are a lot of photos being shared nude by the people around the internet. "Hm, what happen to humans these days. They have gone mad and sharing nude photos of themselves." said Ema disappointingly while scrolling down the website for more posts to check randomly on her account. But suddenly she got hold again of the account of Daniel. Daniel's account is having a lot of pictures of him during his travel all over the world. Ema have spent most of her time on Daniel's account and checking every posts that Daniel shared.

"Hm, Daniel is quiet an adventurous type of guy and also the girl that she will be spending the rest of his life with is so lucky." said Ema dreamily upon looking at the smiling face of Daniel. Ema have downloaded some of the photos of Daniel for personal purposes on her laptop. The crush that Ema have for Daniel is currently growing as she seeks more information online about Daniel. "Ema, are you ready for having vacation before you go off to college?" said Amelia as she walk pass the bedroom door to sit beside Ema. "Hey! Daniel's photo? Really? Having that big crush on him??" said Amelia as she pressure the feelings of Ema. "Mama, I am ready and excited to have vacation with you and papa. Hm, mama stop joking around about the photo of Daniel. Isn't it obvious that I really like him. It's nice that I have a copy of the photo so even if without an internet at least I can still see his face." said Ema lovingly at the last photo that she downloaded.

"Hahaha, Ema darling. Oh! You are cheeks are like cherry when you blush like that. Now ... now... hm maybe I'll share your little crush to Daniel. Eh? What you think?"said Amelia to her daughter teasingly. "NOOO! Mama, don't ever share with him about having a crush on him! That's ridiculous!" said Ema defensively to her mother. Her mother smile at her daughter that she's looking at a child rather than a grown up young girl. She misses her daughter to be childish sometimes. Each time that was not spent with her daughter due to her business have passed already. It is already too late that she have the time but this time her daughter will go to college soon.

"Okay, Ema you can count on me to keep your secret. I hope you enjoy your life at college. Also bear in mind to choose your decisions wisely." Amelia told her daughter the advice that she usually get when Amelia was going to college in her past. "Yes, mama I will be keeping all that you have thought me. I really do hope that I will be as successful as you are." said Ema in an endearing way to her mother. As she go to her mama to give a hug that was worth the while of being spent with her mother.

"So going back to the vacation, Ema you must pack light things only since the vacation will be aan out of town preferably with beautiful sunset on. So have you pictured out what it will be like?" said Amelia to her daughter that still have a bear hug on her. Amelia smiled lovingly to her daughter that will soon experience her own struggles that will come to her life. "Oh by the way before I forget. Ema, this is something I get for you. This is a journal where you can write your thoughts on it and by time it will be a start to see you life unfold." said Amelia to her daughter as she held out the journal to her daughter.

"Thanks for this mama, I will surely love to write down whatever happen to me and at the same time have a look at the times that I treasured most. By the way so the vacation that we will have soon is on the beach then, eh? But I bet it is far away. Hm?" said Ema testing her mother to spill some info for the upcoming vacation. " Hahaha, Ema my dear. You will surely love the place as this is a parting gift in a way for you from us. Hope your father have not overdo it. He surely put his thoughts to this family vacation that we will soon have." said Amelia to her daughter giving her some space to think and as she went for the bedroom door to leave.

"Ema , again just pack lightly. I mean it and don't bother to pack so much things. Just enjoy and have a light package with you. Will you?" ask Amelia in a concern tone to her daughter as she knows her daughter that loves to pack everything. It's like getting the entire closet on vacation! Which was totally bizarre, Amelia smile to her thoughts as she left Ema's bedroom. As her mother left the room, Ema was left alone thinking what is the possible things to bring. She get a piece of paper to write down the necessities and the outfits on mind to bring with. 

So Ema have make a list for what to bring for a vacation possibly a beach that was on her mind:
1. Swimsuit
Perhaps one of the most essential things to pack for beach vacation as Ema been searching for at least five sets.  

2. Swim Cover Up 
Also, when packing for beach holiday, you will need of course a swimsuit cover as Ema is checking every swim cover up she have for her five sets of swim wear that she set aside.  Ema is thinking to herself and considering the possible scenery that she might went into. "This is perfect for wearing down to the beach, but you might prefer a sarong as you can also use this to cover your shoulders or legs if your visiting anywhere that has temples or monasteries." said Ema as she chose some decent cover up and some few are sexy.

3. Shorts
"I will bring 2 to 3 comfortable pairs of shorts for wearing down to the beach or walking around town." said Ema in an excited tone as she pictured out what she will do.

4. Tank Tops 
"Hm, maybe I will only need around 3 tops which I can mix and match with my shorts." thinks Ema to herself.

5. Dresses 
" Hm, I think my parents will have an evening night so I will prefer wearing dresses over shorts, I will just bring 1-2 casual sun dresses." comment Ema to herself and picturing out the past formal dinner that she have with her parents.

6. Pants and Jacket
"Hm, If the nights will get cold, I will bring a pair of pants to keep warm and I may also need to bring a light jacket in case it gets a bit cool or windy at night.  A rain jacket may also be worth while if we are going somewhere that often has down pours, particularly during wet season.  Maybe 3 in 1 jackets are perfect as they keep me warm and protect myself from the rain too." said Ema to herself while considering her options.

7. Underwear!
"Hm! Duh! I will bring 2 bras and a pair of knickers for each day. So maybe for a week (7 days) , It comes around 14 pairs .... hahaha just in case I'll bring an extra..." said Ema jokingly to herself.

8. Next will be my footwear....
Flip Flops --- my time at the beach or by the pool..
Sandals  --- for walking around town, shopping or going out for dinner.
Water Shoes  --- At some beach destinations there can be a lot of rocks and coral on the beaches so a pair of slip on mesh beach shoes can be useful items to pack to protect my feet. 

9. Beach Essentials... (Wants)
Beach Hat  --- A big sun hat of course to protect my skin from burning.
Beach Towel  --- Maybe one with microfibres that is lightweight and dries fast. Another reason I like it is that the sand won't stick on it.
Sunglasses  --- it's a must to see through the sun... heat is so coming over...
Water Bottle  --- we all know the devastating consequences plastic bottles have on the environment, so make sure you bring along a refillable water bottle.  I like to have one that won't leak and has a clasp on it so I can attach it my day bag.

10. Bags! .. Hehehe... I literally need it to store my things...
Beach Bag --- to put all my Beach Essentials items in it.
Packing Cubes --- to put all my Underwear in it so it will still be organize.
Toiletry Bag --- to keep all my toiletries in

11. Toiletries ... Hm... I need to keep it simple..
Sunscreen --- a good quality sunscreen to protect my face and body is one of the vital things needed for beach vacation.
Make Up --- personal choice but I will bring whatever I might need for a night out with my parents..
Moisturizing Cream --- some moisturizing cream for my face, eyes and body, the sun and sea tend to make the skin dry.
A Razor -- for my unwanted hair...
Shampoo and Conditioner --- A small travel size, enough for one week is plenty.
Body Wash  --- i prefer to bring my own although I find some free items to one of our recent location...
Toothpaste and Toothbrush --- Duh! Brush my teeth after meals and before going to bed...
Hair Brush and Hair Ties -- for my messy bun to be control...
Deodorant --- It can get very hot in the sun, so I won't want to forget this one!

12. Electronics
Mobile Phone --- mobile phone so I can keep in touch with social media. Especially stalking my Daniel!
Camera --- take plenty of photographs for my memories. 
Memory cards --- one for the camera and one for as a backup!
Travel Adapter --- may need to bring a plug adaptor
Headphones --- listening to music or streaming movies on my phone whilst lying by the pool or whilst traveling
Chargers / Power Bank  --- various chargers I need to keep my tech gear charged and I bring a charger to keep all of my electronics fully charged throughout my trip

Looking at the lists that Ema made for herself, she is satisfied that she will definitely have a good time. As far as Ema is concern this is the minimalist that she can get to pack her things for vacation as she smiled and getting on with the things on the list to be ready.

The Life as we know it. People have shared stories throughout. It might not be perfect for some but still it is life worth living for. Some people have a perfect life but are they happy?

The alarm sounded.

The sound seemed to resonate throughout the 10ft. by 12ft. room. A hand appeared on the bedside table and grabbing the phone, it retracted to its owner who was lying on the single bed occupying the corner of the room.

A boy with sleepy eyes slowly dismissed the alarm.

"Phew..." he sighed.

According to the display it was 8:31 AM.

"Good." the boy said to himself as he slowly sat up on the bed. Putting on his glasses his dreamy gaze fell upon the window facing the east. Yellowish warm light permeated through the fabric of the curtains giving an orange tint to the contents of the room.

There was nothing much in the room, leaving the bed, there was an old empty rusty cupboard, a wooden table half-eaten by termites and a plastic chair.

Scanning his surrounding the boy got up and walked to the window. Pulling aside the curtains and opening the window he peeked outside.

A brand new day. A cool fragrant breeze floated in the room, the birds were flying around with puffed chest, whistling and singing welcoming the new day.

Well that wasn't the case. The birds could be hardly seen in the metropolitan city, a horrible odour emitted from the pile of poop lying around, made its way to his nose and the honking of buses and cars could be heard from the main road which could be seen at a distance.

In front of him laid the suburb teeming with two storied brick houses, beyond that lied the city. A few tall skyscrapers could be seen afar as a blue outline. In his right side laid the Guo river, sparkling in the sun.

"Tsk.. Still no luck." he clicked his tongue dismayed.

To be frank, there is nothing unusual to be greeted by the stench from the slum which laid in front of him like an eyesore. But considering that he hoped his room to be teleported within some deep forest in some magical fantasy world and greeted by some bloodthirsty monsters and flesh eating plants, it is obvious to be dismayed.

Of course a seventeen years old mature person who would step within his adulthood within six months won't dwell upon such childish thoughts or so he thought. He stretched his arms and cracked his knuckles. Grabbing a toothbrush and a tube of toothpaste from the table he went to the washroom.

Refreshing himself he came back to the room, drying his hair with a towel and put on his clothes. He combed his hair, staring at a mirror he stroked his clean shaven chin.

He grinned with an air of self-importance. The day before he shaved for the first time with his newly bought electric trimmer. "The hair seems to have grown a bit." he thought as his fingers bristled past them.

Well it was pretty natural for him to be haughty, after all he managed to get one of the hundred seats in the most prestigious medical college of the state. "Rheux Medical College", a dream of countless medical aspirants, even popular among illiterate masses and foreigners for its outstanding treatment.

It is indeed a praiseworthy feat to get there in his first try. His mom nearly wept with joy and his dad threw a party for his colleagues, his friends and relatives showered him with praise whereas his foes burnt with envy.

He brushed past these thoughts and came back to reality.

He rented the room a week back, it was a five minutes walk to the college from there. His hometown was far from the capital, where his college was situated, and it was nearly five hours journey.

He would go back home that day. The day before was introductory class for beginners session and regular classes would commence from a week after.

He would pass by the bookstore before going to the station. The book-list had been provided. Also he had to search for a bone-set for anatomy class.

He zipped his bag putting in the newly bought laptop lying on the bed, other essentials were packed beforehand. He changed to a white t-shirt and black jeans. He folded the pyjamas and put it in the cupboard.

He took his backpack and got out of the room, switching off the ceiling fan and locking the door. He came out to an extended balcony with a spiral staircase on one end. Descending from the first floor he came across a wide partially enclosed veranda and met face to face with landlord's little daughter playing with a doll.

"Big brother Renak are you going back home?"

"Yep, tell your mom I will return this coming Sunday morning. I won't have lunch but I would like to have dinner."

"Okay, big brother" she quickly replied.

The landlord provided him the meal during morning and night, as for lunch it was only provided during weekends, on weekdays he could buy something from the college canteen.

He stepped on the concrete road. There was a maze formed by the closely packed houses and the thin crooked lane. He made his way to the bus stop jumping over a spilled trash bin on the way.

"It is fruitless to hope for anything better for 3000 credits."

He boarded a bus bound to University Street. That place is a market containing books and educational materials. It is pretty famous among students and scholars as the books there were cheaper compared to other places. That wasn't the only reason he went there. He wanted to buy a tab and a stylus. There were few good stores selling these items out there.

By the way, this guy was a complete closet otaku. He spent quite a bit of cash buying manga and manhua. Although he never had the luxury of buying any promotional items or figurines neither did he went to any animecons, still he was crazy about 2D stuff. He wanted to try his hands on being a mangaka. Well whatever.

He was lucky to get a seat in the bus. He stared outside the window. There was nothing but a concrete jungle and smoke occluding the morning sun. The ancient multistoried buildings squeezed together seemed like houses of cards. The people with eyes of a dead fish seemed oblivious of the constricting atmosphere and overflowing traffic.

Renak who spent his life in a small town hated the city. He had no other options after all. It was nerve wracking for a person like him who loves tranquility and loneliness to be thrown in that chaos.

"A few more months and I would turn into a mindless zombie." he sighed.

The bus passed by numerous billboards, containing the smiling faces of several beautiful girls. This somewhat irritated him. "Bah! Humbugs." The whole sky seemed to be covered by these abominations.

It took him fifty minutes to reach his destination.

After browsing through lots of stores he managed to buy a few books to his liking. He moved on to buy his gadgets. By the time he was done it was almost past noon. He was sweating profusely from the oppressive July sun.

He went to a nearby ice cream parlour and ordered a glass of lemonade. He sat on a chair by the window.

He stared his precious tools passionately. He visualized a bunch of scenes and hot characters. His obsession was beyond any help. Looking outside he could see huge masses of commuters and never-ending traffic.

"It would be great if I get transmigrated somewhere by truck-kun."

Well after all there are so many ways, drowning, summoned by some mythical beings, getting struck by lightning, choking on noodles, blown up by explosives, the list goes on. The best is truck-kun, no doubt about it.

He smirked. He looked around a little embarrassed, to check whether anybody noticed him.

He was tired and bored of his gloomy and monotonous life. He way too addicted to elusive fantasies to be honest. It was his only respite to indulge himself with fantasies. He always had a strong vivid imagination power, mixing reality with fascinating delusions.

He brooded over these thoughts while sipping the juice.

Paying the bill he left for the train station with a packet in his hand containing the tab and the books.

It took a couple of minutes to walk to the station. It would have been better if he boarded the train from the Central Station which was nearer from his rented house but it was pretty far from University Street. He would have had some chance of getting a free seat then, he thought.

The platform was crowded with office goers returning home. The train arrived. It was already packed with commuters. He somehow squirmed his way to the compartment.

He was pretty worn down from the hassle. He barely managed to get a space to breathe by the door.

"Basically humans are insignificant specks of dirt on the face of the earth." He felt low spirited with the realization. We all know it and accepted it. But he felt irritated, his repressed ego was about to break the dam.

"Once I pass out and start to earn, I won't have to worry getting squeezed by these dipshits."

Coupled with clattering  of the Neanderthals surrounding him he felt a splitting headache.

As time passed the crowd decreased. It has already been three hours since boarding the train.

The scenery outside had changed from the grey suburb to lush green vegetation which had turn blackened. It was already twilight. Cold air was entering through the open doors.

He moved forward. Standing on the footway he reclined his neck. The cool air dried his sweaty neck and his drenched shirt. He took a deep breath craning his neck a bit out.

He took out his mobile phone to check the time.

Well he didn't have the good fortune to see the time. His hand slipped off the doorway pole.

His time was up.

He barely managed to come to this realization.

A feeling of weightlessness as his suspended body moved somewhat along the train in a parabolic trajectory. As his body turned over he could see square white objects running by.

"Windows?…" There were too much for his mind to process.

Crash.

A shearing pain in the neck. The pain increased exponentially and everything blackened out.

The rocky journey of our MC as he searches his mysterious past and a medicine for the void in his heart.

Sport School, President's office.
Principal Lü did not look happy. He was dissatisfied with the results of the qualifying test.
40% of students from the sports school training program had passed the test, compared to the 30% passing rate of other high schools. Such results indicated that the sports school had a more advanced training system than the other schools. However, this "advantage" was only data. It didn't help much with the fierce college entrance competition.
In Yuzhou City, there were about one thousand graduates per high school every year. Out of these one thousand students, only thirty or forty were qualified as sports talent. Therefore, the 10% increase of the passing rate meant three or four more students would pass the qualifying test, and be offered with some advantages during the college entrance exam. But the increase of these three or four more students out of one thousand wouldn't make much of a difference in improving the college acceptance rate of the school.
The crucial factor was not the 10% passing rate, but the two admissions for independent recruitment. Sports talent students with this admission could be regarded as having a test-free entrance to college. This advertisement sounded way better than the "high attainment rate."
Consider this: a special secondary school has cultivated test-free college students. Isn't that nice? Even though getting college admissions sounded like a vanity project, it could polish Principal Lü's resume. He had only held the position for two years, and was really in need of some achievements to consolidate his power and enhance his reputation. According to Lü's original estimate, the school could have at least gotten one admission, maybe even two of them, but the cruel fact was that they had gotten none. In other words, Principal Lü hadn't achieved anything.
Feeling defeated, Principal Lü inquired into who had received those two admissions. The answer was a bitter pill to swallow. The two admissions were taken by a coach's two students, and that coach, Dai Li, was once an assistant coach in Lü's sport school, but was later fired.
If Dai Li had quit his job, Lü could find an excuse for himself that Dai Li looked down upon the sports school. But Li had been fired. It looked like the sports school had created a strong opponent themselves. They had shot themselves in the foot.
Principal Lü was unhappy. He immediately called the Personnel Sectional Chief into his office for the ins and outs. Standing in front of the president, the man looked aggrieved.
"Principal Lü, it was not my idea to fire Dai Li," the Personnel Sectional Chief tried to explain.
"It wasn't you? Then tell me, who else could do that? YOU are the chief of personnel!" Principal Lü sounded even more serious.
The chief hesitated. He noticed that Principal Lü was about to flare up. To keep himself safe, he told the truth. "It was Director Zhao from the training department who wanted to fire Dai Li. He said that Dai Li was too good to be in our school. That was why he fired Li."
Lü looked forbidding. What a bad excuse Zhao had found! Even a child would not have believed that. Lü could sense that there might be some private resentment between Zhao and Li. Zhao was using his power to satisfy a personal grudge. Principal Lü could bear Zhao's abuse of his own power, but what he couldn't stand at all was Zhao's damage to the school, let alone the huge loss of his achievements.
Lü then said with a cold voice, "You are in charge of personnel. If there is anything wrong, you report it directly to me. Don't follow other people's commands."
"Principal Lü, people had been saying that Director Zhao would take our retired vice-president's position and would be the future vice-president. That's why I listened to Zhao's command, I did not want to reject him." The chief shifted all the responsibilities of the decision to Director Zhao in order to keep himself free from punishment.
"He wants to be the new vice-president? Humph!" Principal Lü ended the conversation with a snort.
The chief shrunk. It looked like Director Zhao had just lost his superior's support. Zhao was going to have a hard time.
...
While the conversation between the chief and Principal Lü was taking place, Dai Li was on a train to Qingcheng City.
Haiyang Chen, Qingliang Xu, and all the other students were still on his training list, but once they couldn't receive Li's continuous training, they would automatically be cleaned out from the System. This meant that they would not be able to enjoy the benefits of the explosive force halo anymore, but Li didn't care. The students' training goal was to obtain a second-level athlete qualifying certificate, and now all of them had gotten it. Li had finished his job. He got paid to train them, and without further payment, they shouldn't expect him to help them forever.
If one was not aiming to be a professional athlete, the explosive force halo was not very useful. People who chose to be sports talent students were actually looking for an easier way to enter college rather than dreaming of being professional athletes. The certificate they had just gotten could speed up the process and help them pass the big, life-determining exam.
As for the special test the students were required to take before they got admitted to college, as long as they passed the fractional line they would be recruited. Li believed in his students. They could make it even without the halo.
Between Haiyang Chen and Qingliang Xu, one had C+ level talent, while the other had C level. Those two had the potential to become professional sprinters. But to become a qualified athlete, what they really needed was a combination of their talents and a lot of effort rather than a halo. In fact, soon after they finished the qualifying test, Li was no longer their coach. They were passerbys in each other's life. It was time to say goodbye.
...
Qingcheng City was not only a capital city, but a port city as well. Due to its resource advantages, Qingcheng City was economically developed. It was a leading city among second-tier cities, and was about to be in the first-tier. 
As a big city, Qingcheng City had a well-developed sports industry. For physical education, in addition to the Provincial Sport University and the sports school, it had a special ping-pong training school, a basketball training school, and a soccer school, which was rarely seen elsewhere. As for commercial sports, it had a professional basketball team, which was eligible for A-level league matches; it also owned two professional soccer teams for domestic super league matches and First Division.
This city provided a nice opportunity for a coach's future development, but for a newbie like Dai Li, working experience was more important. At the end of the one-month probation after signing a one-year contract, Dai Li became a permanent employee in the Provincial Sport University.
Qingcheng City had a higher living standard than Yuzhou City, but it also offered a higher income. Dai Li spent most of his time on campus. He usually ate at the school canteen, which served cheaper food than the food in off-campus restaurants. He also lived in a 4-bed postgraduate dorm. It was way better than the dorm he lived in when he was in college. As an employee under contract, he was not qualified to live in a single room dormitory like the teachers, but he was satisfied. Dai Li had only left college a few months ago, yet he felt like he had time traveled back to his college days, living in a dorm, eating at a canteen, in and out of classes on time, and playing computer games or chatting with his roommates in his spare time.
As an assistant coach, Li's job was simple. Coach Chen would give him weekly training plans beforehand, then Li was the one who actually trained the athletes. Things like guiding stretch exercises and strength training was also Li's work. Coach Chen was too busy to take care of every athlete, so he only offered crucial guidance occasionally.
Dai Li owned the training System, so it was no wonder why his training was more effective than the other assistant coaches. As time went by, Coach Chen approved of his training, and Chen was willing to offer Li more training tasks.
Dai Li was eager to participate in training as much as possible. In the Provincial Sport University he was able to train some professional athletes who could bring him much more empirical value than high school students. Thanks to these professionals, Li's empirical value had been increasing rapidly. Within only three months, he had obtained the 3,000 points of experience he needed.
Finally, Dai Li had reached the senior phase of third-rate coach.


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

CJ's pov

Mondays always made me sick. Who am I kidding I hated every fucking day of the week and nothing made it more fucked up than the fact that I was at college.

It wasn't Highschool, finally got my ass out of that hell hole.

It was just my second week in college and I was already thinking of when I would be out of here as well. Unlike every new comer I was already frustrated. 

I had plans for my life at this college, I'm going to make a name for myself either its the school's bitch or the class nerd I didn't give a fuck but I'm sure you have an idea. I'm going to make sure no one messes with me, Never again.

I got out of my slick red Porsche and grabbed my art supplies. Walking into the school was easy because I know the drill, people would stare. Why? Because I'm gorgeous. And I dress really well. Just because I don't give a damn about anyone doesn't mean I should dress like shit to try to prove my point.
I was walking like a bad ass until someone decided to bump into me which made me land on my ass and obviously dropping my supplies. 

"Oh I am so sorry" he said "That was totally my fault"

"Obviously " I said

"I am really sorry " he said offering her his hand to lift me off the ground. 
I slapped his hand away and got up myself "Next time look where you're fucking going"

"Yeah I'm so sorry" he packed my supplies and handed them to me. "I'm Nathan" he said offering me a hand shake.

"Like I give a fuck" I said then walked away. My second week and some dumb ass is already on my nerves.

I ended up getting late to painting class, I know I'm supposed to be a bitch about it and not care but I also plan on being the best student there, so when I'm bitchy no one would think to use my grades against me. "Fuck it" I told myself then walked in.

"Miss Dunbar, glad you could finally join us. Here at Prenton University we don't deal well with tardiness. 
Take a seat next to Mr. Michaelson" referring to the guy who sat at the back. "So class, as I was saying, welcome to Prenton University, the school of Art. As you all know we also have Prenton University the school of Science, the school of Technology and so on. In this college we only deal with making our students comfortable with showcasing their artistic talents. There are different courses like Theater Art, Photography, Performance Art, and so on. Why you chose Fine Art, which is under the Visual Art category, is what I wish to know. Anyone? Miss Dunbar? And please don't give me the because I love painting and drawing speech"

"No sir, not only do I love painting and drawing but I dream of painting the world in my perspective. How's that for an answer?"

"Beautiful" he said, I could tell from now on he was going to treat me differently. "So moving on. In this class I want your imaginations to run wild, so the theme I want painted on your canvas is how you see your life at this college. The overalls are at the corner so get started"

I had to admit the idea was brilliant I guess the people at this school do know what they are doing. I brought my own overall, it was dark blue and was fitted perfectly to my body and short too. Yeah I like attention.

"Oh, that's hot" said the boy I sat next to.

"Fuck off, fuck boy" I said to him. All he did was laugh.

His name was Cole Michaelson, at least that's what it says on his Art supplies. 
He was good looking. Almost as good looking as Nathan. Wait, why the fuck do I remember his name. Cole had Blonde hair, bright blue eyes and a tall lean figure. And that smirk was a major turn on.

"Nice to meet you too" he looked at my supplies "CJ, it has a nice ring to it. The hot girl named CJ, I like it" he added paint to his work "How has your 2 weeks at this Prestigious University been?"

"I think you mean Prenton University, the school of Art" I said with my best Mr. Robinson impression. Making both of us laugh.

"Sorry, my mistake".

"My first week really sucked, and I think the second week might just be worse" he smiled at me "Yours?" I don't know why I was still talking to him, usually I would just ignore any guy who starts a conversation the way he did. 

"Well mine wasn't too bad, I got all my friends here" he said.

I don't really like making friends but there's this one person who seems to have made a permanent hole in my heart. I know how cheesy it sounds but it's true. Nicole. You can't imagine the kind of person she must be for her to have me as a friend. No, she isn't the blonde, social media queen or the total air head like they portray the bitch's best friend in movies. 

"I can introduce you to my friends if you introduce me to yours" he offered. 

"No thanks, I've got all the friends I need or friend" I corrected "And I doubt she would be into you, besides I don't plan on making friends"

"Everyone is into me" he said with that smirk on his face "Don't worry my friends are cool, I think you would really like them"

"Like isn't really in my vocabulary" I said adding more red paint to my canvas. 

"I've never met anyone like you before"

"I could say the same thing, I don't think I have ever had a longer conversation with a guy without getting the urge to kick him in the balls" he laughed but I wasn't joking. 

"Glad I could last this long" then I laughed. He actually seemed nice, for a boy this handsome he's meant to be a total ass hole. Then I looked at his painting when he made the finishing touches. The painting illustrates a bunch of girls dressed in different clothing, some not dressed at all, standing outside a door with the numbers 230, which I'm guessing is his dorm number. 

'Boys will be boys' I thought to myself. 

"I like your painting" he commented. I painted a finger lifting the school. Yeah it looked awesome. 

"Thanks, I have no comments for yours though" lifting mine and walking to submit it, a few seconds later he joined me at the teacher's table to also submit his. 

"These look good guys" Mr. Robinson comments "You should go get ready for your next class" 

Some of the others were still working on theirs, while the rest of us took off our overalls and left with our supplies. We walked over to our cars at the parking lot. I wanted to introduce him to Raiden, my car but I just met the dude. I'll save that for later. 

We walked back into the building both heading for site seeing class. 

"So tell me about your friend" Cole said. 

"Her name is Nicole, she's under the Performance Art category studying Dance, she has long curly hair, hazel eyes, beautiful dark skin, short legs, she's fun, a bit shy and crazy once you get to know her"

"Wow, you really know your friend"

"Well, we've known each other since forever, the least I could do is master her features and behavior"

"Suddenly I feel like I don't even know my friends at all"

"Don't feel bad, Nicole and I are just really close"

"Okay, tell me about your room mates"

"I already told you about Nicole, there's Asher and Imogene"

"Asher? Asher Withmore?"

"Not too sure, but she's got an afro, dresses all dark and mysterious. Like a goth."

"Yeah, that's definitely Asher. And she's your room mate?"

"Yeah, and then there's Imogene, she's not bad to look at and she seems like a bitch. She's got wavy hair and seems wild considering the fact that wen I first got here she ran out of the dorm room in a bikini shouting 'who wants some'"

"She sounds fun" he said with an approving smile. Perv. 

"Well I don't like her very much. This morning when I was done dressing she gave me this irritated look"

"Really? I don't see anything wrong with what you're wearing"

"I asked her to fix her face before I fix it for her"

"What did she say?"

"The bitch didn't say anything"

"She's probably used to it"

"Yeah, probably"

"Well, Asher isn't like that, you'll need some time to get to know her"

"I don't really care, as long as she doesn't get in my way"

We got to the door of our next class, where we were stopped by a casually dressed man. He waited for the rest of the students before he started his own speech.

"Hello class, I'm Mr. Collins. I would be your site seeing guide. You see site seeing isn't really a course but an adventure, we would be visiting different places both inside and outside the country. We would also be joined by the Photography and Architecture students. I have a list of the people who signed up for this course, since today is our first class we would stay on school's grounds. Let's move out"

💀Ms. I Pov:

"Mark Academy!!!" basa ko sa paaralang papasukan ko....

Napatingin tingin ako sa mga paligid ko, at wala naman akong maramdaman na kakaiba,

End of chapter one...

To Chen Zuan, in the two years since he had started training, a lot of violent incidents that no one had claimed responsibility for seemed to have been done by Lu Shu…
At first, when the Collection of Gods was suddenly destroyed, no one knew who did it. It turned out to be Lu Shu.
Back then, when the Class A aptitude geniuses were assigned to destroy the black markets, the missions of many teams had been stolen. Later on, when Chen Zuan got closer to Lu Shu, he realized that Lu Shu had disappeared during that period of time.
Back then…
There were just too many of such incidents. Thus, even though Chen Zuan had not understood what was happening in the camp, when he heard that enemies had been killed near the Ladder River and the Tiger Back, but no one knew who did it, Chen Zuan immediately thought that Lu Shu was behind this. If they followed that route, they would be able to find Lu Shu!
Of course, Chen Zuan did not know that Lu Shu was now disguised in a team and was fighting a series of battles. He had completely strayed away from that direction.
Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao stood there and eavesdropped on the team, who was still chatting among themselves. They wanted to know more about how the battle had developed.
The camp was tight but neat. Everyone knew what they had to do, and whose orders they had to follow.
The Heavenly Network did not waste all their years of learning. Many overseas organizations were messy and disorganized. They were like gathering grounds for hunters in the Middle Ages. But the Heavenly Network was already using a durable metal pail.
But Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao also saw some injured members who were able to return to the battlefield very quickly. Some even requested their superiors to send them back to the battlefield while they were still injured.
Chen Zuan suddenly felt as if he had come to the right place. After he had grown stronger, he needed a battlefield to prove himself. This place needed him as well.
Someone suddenly said, "Heavenly King Feng and the rest are discussing their future strategies at the command post. I heard that they want to create a team of assault troops to break through the line of defense. Many experts have appeared in the Heavenly Network recently. Do you think the 11th Heavenly King will suddenly appear?"
"Not possible. Even if we have so many Class B's, they will not create a position for another Heavenly King," someone else argued.
"The Ninth Heavenly King is still a student. How unexpected. When we were on the Cultivation College forum, we were still buoyant. I didn't expect the legendary Lord Lu to become a Heavenly King…"
The members of the Heavenly Network also read the Cultivation College forum. It was like a forum to them. Rather than chasing a celebrity that had nothing to do with them, why not follow some genius Practitioners? 
"Heh heh. Did you see that list?" Someone laughed softly.
"Which list? The Luo Shen list? I've met Cao Qingci before. Back then, we were chasing and killing traitors, but they were very strong. The chase continued for three days and three nights. Everyone was fatigued. When we chased them to the Northwest desert, she suddenly started killing and shocked all of us. She is really aggressive. I heard that was her first mission and her first time killing others. But she was straightforward and agile. She did not even blink."
"No, I'm talking about the handsome list. Ha ha ha, Lord Lu is number one. But I heard that this list is not reliable. Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao, who are second and third, are both very ugly. They created the list themselves, thus they ranked themselves highly as well."
"Ha ha, two shameless and ugly people!"
Suddenly, someone tapped their shoulder. Chen Zuan's expression darkened. "Hello, I'm Chen Zuan. Do you know where You Mingyu is?"
Cheng Qiuqiao, who was beside him, complained, "I told you not to put our names on the list. The shameless one is you, not me."
At that moment, You Mingyu was running from the opposite direction. It was as if he was running towards the command post. 
When You Mingyu saw the two of them, he was taken aback. "Why are you here? What about the students from the Luo Shen Cultivation College? Have they come here as well?"
"No, no." Chen Zuan laughed buoyantly. "We're here to request leave. After all, we have to ask you directly. Not directly applying for leave would seem slightly inappropriate…"
You Mingyu was silent. "This idea… did Lu Shu suggest this?!"
Chen Zuan's eyes lit up. He seemed very proud. "We can't find him either. This is my idea. How is it? Not bad, right? Isn't it similar to Lu Shu's demeanor?"
"Why are you so proud about this…" You Mingyu was speechless. For some reason, he felt something familiar about this idea, thus he had thought that Lu Shu had given Chen Zuan the idea. But he turned out to be wrong. This meant that… Chen Zuan and the rest had started to be influenced by Lu Shu!
Chen Zuan seemed very pleased, as if he had been praised. Suddenly, You Mingyu said, "Wait, did you say that you don't know where Lu Shu went?"
"I don't know," said Chen Zuan. Since Lu Shu concealed his identity, there was definitely a need for him to do so. He had guessed that Lu Shu had already entered the Changbai Mountains, and that Lu Shu was probably responsible for the massacre of the overseas Practitioners near Ladder River, but if Lu Shu did not reveal his identity, Chen Zuan would not say anything either. 
There were over 40 thousand members of the Heavenly Network in this boundless campsite. Many people were still making their way here. Chen Zuan could guess based on his intuition, because he had come here to find Lu Shu.
There were so many people here. Many small teams entered the Changbai Mountains everyday. Most of the routes that they took were repeated. There was even the possibility that they had walked in the wrong direction. Who could determine who killed them in a short span of a few days?
But now, the most important thing was the war itself. As the commander, they could not focus on things like who had killed those Practitioners. If a commander focused on these kinds of things, they would attend to trivial matters and neglect essentials.
Now, the large organizations overseas were using their profits to spur on Practitioners and Metahumans to enter the Changbai Mountains and engage in conflict. On the other hand, the Heavenly Network was fighting for their beliefs and glory. 
As for when the war would end, it would be up to the winner to decide.
You Mingyu calmly looked at Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao. "Since you have come all the way here, I can't make you go back either. But this is a war. Do you students truly have the courage and belief to go to war? Or you do not know what courage and belief are?"
Chen Zuan looked to his side. The warriors from the Heavenly Network were heading into the Changbai Mountains with a sense of justice.
He suddenly grinned. "This is not our first time being assigned to kill. Although we still can't answer your question, I feel that this war will tell me the answer."
Lu Shu, whom many people had been looking for, closed his eyes and lay down in a puddle. He was waiting for the best opportunity. 
The time for hunting had come.


Magical energy has come to this world; Lu Shu could only stare as one powerhouse after another appear.

Looking at his own peculiar ability, he exhaled a breath of cold air.

Dog balls!

...

This is a story of how Lu Shu used poisonous chicken soup to become the Demon King

Translator Synopsis:

This is the story of an orphan, Lu Shu. He is not any regular orphan, but a metahuman experiencing the changes in himself, his country and the world during the dawn of the magical era. Watch as Lu Shu embarks on a journey to hone his peculiar abilities together with his sister, the adorable and charismatic Lu Xiaoyu. Along the way, they’ll encounter supernatural events, obstacles and even the most powerful people in their country. How will Lu Shu make the best of his abilities and oust his never-ending list of rivals and opponents?

The magnetic male voice and straightforward worry made both Donnie and the fatty felt slightly startled. When they turned around, they saw that Karl was watching the tower that was on fire with his good-looking eyebrows curved in a frown, which made Donnie and the fatty want to iron them out.
The fatty did not know the reason behind it, but Donnie clearly knew that such a beautiful "girl" who could catch people's attention at any time was, in fact, the one who caused this whole accident. He weighed his words a bit and said, "Karl, the college won't punish you as long as you are sure that you stuck to the rules. Did you break any?"
"No, I didn't." Karl shook his head hard and then lowered it. "I thought the senior-rank magic tower would prevent this from happening. The college would know it was me for sure…"
Donnie released a sigh of relief. At least, Karl never broke any rules.
He could use this to comfort Karl, although he was not sure if the college was going to kick Karl out or not. 
"So what? You did nothing wrong, and… Ummm… they wouldn't dare to treat you unfairly…" Donnie was being quite ambiguous. He was referring to Karl's powerful background. Kicking such a student out without a proper reason would bring great pressure to Heidler Magic College.
Although Donnie could not identify the magic items that Karl was wearing, he could sense the horrible power within them. Donnie believed that even some major nobles or senior-rank sorcerers could not afford them.
Karl nodded slightly as Donnie's comforting words more or less worked. He said to himself, "Lu Xiaoen taught me so many lessons; one more isn't a big deal…"
Lu Xiaoen? That was a very strange name that went against the grammar of the common tongue. Donnie wondered if Lu Xiaoen was Karl's father or elder brother.
"You did it?!" the fatty asked in great surprise. He was just listening to their conversation like he was invisible.
Karl took a glance at the fatty, and his silver-purple eyes suddenly became sharp. Donnie wasn't affected, but the fatty felt the great pressure as there was already sweat on his forehead.
He dared not to ask anymore.
At this time, Shirley from the Duchy of Orvarit walked to them and smiled as she just survived a disaster.
"Donnie, thanks to you, we're all saved!"
"I was… was lucky…" Donnie suddenly stammered when facing such a compliment from a girl.
Karl murmured in a low voice, "I'd also remind you all if he hadn't seen it…"
Shirley did not hear him because of the lightning and thunder. She smiled at Donnie and said, "Yes, you were lucky that you saw it. But you helped us get out. Compared to how you look now, you looked very different when you were giving commands."
Donnie's face flushed slightly. Like Sammy, he scratched his head a bit and said, "I was also saving myself."
Suddenly, the deafening clap of thunder was cut off, and everything had fallen into a great silence.
The apprentices all looked up and saw the gray fog pouring out from the sky, which had taken away all the horrible power from the dark clouds.
"They used mythal… Finally…" said the fatty thoughtfully.
As for what the mythal was in Heidler Magic College, the apprentices did not have a clear clue. They heard that it had something to do with some necromancy circles, including the one named Miranda 12 Circles.
Shirley took a strange glance at the fatty, having no idea of when he arrived, but she also didn't care.
"It's safe now. I have to go find my roommate," Shirley said to Donnie.
After Shirley left, Donnie turned around and found himself staring into a pair of blue eyes. 
"What're you looking at?" Donnie was a bit startled. 
The fatty said with a bit of jealousy, "I think the girl likes you…"
"We did not even know each other until an hour ago!" Donnie hurriedly explained.
"That's right. It only took you an hour… Ummm…" The fatty sighed.
Donnie was a bit pissed but also feeling rather shy. "I didn't mean it. We're just classmates!"
The fatty looked away. "You will know her roommates. Don't forget me."
Donnie was totally speechless. He didn't even know the fatty!
"So, both of you are completely inexperienced, right?" said Karl, who had already forgotten about his worries. "I can tell."
His left arm supported his right arm, and his right hand was rubbing his chin.
"I…" Donnie tried to disagree, but he somehow could not lie.
The fatty was surprised. "How do you know?"
Karl smiled gently and said, "When the girl was thanking Donnie, Donnie was acting like a brand new baby in a relationship. He should've asked the girl to buy him lunch so that he could buy it back next time. Back and forth like this, and one day, grabbing the girl's hand won't be difficult."
"Ask the girl to buy him lunch?" the fatty asked sincerely.
Karl said proudly, "For sure! Do not feel afraid to lose your face. My father once told me a story of a farmer waiting beside a tree trunk day after day for a dead rabbit. The result is just like how you imagine it to be. To win love, you have to take the initiative. Are you telling me that you're going to wait for a girl to run into your arms?"
Donnie felt that it was a beautiful girl in front of him who was lecturing him on how to pursue a girl, and he did not feel very comfortable with it. He hurriedly cut Karl off, "So, you're… experienced?"
Karl looked up at the sky and said, "Of course!"
He paused a bit when no one said anything, "You want me to show you?"
The fatty nodded excitedly, but they were stopped by the fatty. "No, no. An accident just happened. We'd better behave ourselves before a decision is made on this."
"Yeah…" Karl looked upset again, as he lowered his head.
The fatty also recalled his mission. "I'll send out the news report first, and we'll continue after going back to the dorm…"
"Which dorm are you in? What's your name?" Donnie asked confusedly.
The fatty did not know what to say.
Finally, he released a loud sigh. "Never mind… Before this problem is solved, I won't have a chance…"
......
In the Allyn magic tower in the City in the Sky.
Heidi looked pretty much the same as twenty years ago. She still had the same round face, a few freckles, and long, linen-color hair. The only difference was that she was now wearing an eight-star arcana badge and a ninth-circle magic badge. Also, she was wearing a few dazzling rings. There was one from the Holm Crown Prize and one from Evans Prize in Arcana. She found or made the rest of the rings herself.
"Madam, today's Allyn Impression is available. You want to have a look?"
It was the ring on her left little finger that talked. 
Heidi sipped her black tea and said, "Sure."
The ring then lit up with red light, and a light beam projected an illusionary pile of newspaper in front of Heidi.
Heidi held the teacup with her left hand and touched the light screen to turn the pages with her right hand.
When Heidi saw the title, "Horrible! The Most Severe Accident in Twenty-One Years; Pain! Consequences of Heidler College's Negligence", she was amused and quickly turned to the corresponding page.
After reading the news, she was laughing too hard to sit up straight.
Fortunately, she had always been developing Lu Xiaoxi's interest in body structure and genetics on purpose, or Lu Xiaoxi would now be studying at the Atom Institution. Her teacher should be thankful because of it!
......
In the main magic tower of Heidler Magic College.
Schokola, the president, picked up a gold speaker and said in the typical cold and hoarse voice of a lich, "We've decided to discontinue Brades' study in the college. He brings dangers to other students."
The calm and serious male voice came out of the speaker, "I do not agree."
Schokola paused a bit and said, "This is the most terrible accident ever since the establishment of the college."
The male voice remained the same tone as he said, "Before this, didn't I ever tell you all about Brades' situation? Didn't I ever tell you all that a senior-rank sorcerer must be there to supervise him?"
"But they were in a senior-rank magic tower," Schokola explained.
"It's your problem," said the male voice.
"So you're showing your attitude?" Schokola's voice became even colder. As an archmage, he felt very disrespected by the young man in the speaker.
The male voice sounded a bit amused, but it then became serious again. "Yes, this is my attitude. Of course, I'll be responsible for the college's loss. But it is impossible if you want to expel Brades."
"I'll do a quote list," Schokola said. He had to stop insisting. After all, the man in the speaker had made his compromise.
"Alright. Send the list to Brades," said the male voice, which sounded slightly annoyed.
......
"This much?!" Karl looked at the list and almost burst out into tears.
Schokola said gloomily, "Yes, you pay or you leave. Up to you. Of course, your elder brother will pay for it first. He asked me to tell you that the money will come from your own treasury from your future fiefs. This is the first step to grow up, and it's called 'take your responsibility'."
Karl's voice trembled as he said, "I… I'll pay…"
Karl kept his head very low as he walked back to his dorm, as if the world was going to collapse. He went directly to bed without saying anything, which made Donnie and Sammy quite unused to it.
But they were also glad that the college was not kicking Karl out.
"Get some sleep. We have Mr. Felipe's open class tomorrow," Donnie said excitedly to Sammy.
Sammy nodded. Recently, he was getting more and more dispirited.
......
Dark red eyes, the air of death…
Donnie sprang up in his bed and gasped very hard. It was this nightmare again!
Suddenly, he felt something not right. He turned to look at the window, and he saw Sammy standing there with his eyes tightly closed. The specter behind his back had completely overlapped with his body.
Sammy started walking out in a creepy manner. 
Donnie was about to stop him, but his mouth was suddenly covered. 
"Don't wake him up, or Sammy's soul will perhaps disappear forever. Let's go and follow him," Karl said in a very low voice.
Donnie was startled, but he could tell from Karl's voice that he was excited.


"A falling star has brought the chaos. The throne of fate has lost its master. The nonbeliever who walks in light and darkness will make his debut."
In this magic world, knowledge is power.
