Maria Silva is a author for both children stories and adult books. Rilo Robin was rich business man. Emily Silvana is married to Rilo. But Maria was drugged by Emily. One year later she had twins. One she kept and the other was sent to the his blood father. She only wanted her daughter. Not her son. Lily was the only child she named. But Lilo was named by the father. How will those two meet again?

" Brother aren't you making it too hard for him?"
asked Maria, after Robin left the dining hall. 

" What are talking about Sis.? "
asked Peter back with a confused look. 

" You took about three months to finish those book. Now you are asking him to finish it in one month. Isn't it too much. "
said Maria. 

Hearing that Peter smiled and said, 

" What do you know? My master also gave me two month as deadline. And because of that I finished in three month. I have taught that kid how to read and write in NONAME. So I have to give him this deadline in order to develop him well. You won't understand it, because you don't have a disciple "

" Hehe...  Is that so?  I think I can get a disciple now. "
Said Maria while looking toward the library. 

Seeing that Peter said, 

" No Sis, you can't. As you know our Master has only me as disciple and I have only one Master, the same thing applies for him. We shouldn't break this custom that is going for about ten thousand years. That was what Master told me, when I said Iam gonna take in a disciple"

" Yaya... I know. Don't start."
grunted Maria. 

" And I gave him one month because I think he is more talented than me. When I taught him, how to read and write. He learned it all in less than six months. So I think he can finish ten thousand books in a month"
said Peter with pride of Master. 

Seeing that Maria grunted even more as she stood up and left the dining hall.

As for Robin, he has been reading the books with complete immersion in it. While thinking to himself, 

' I will finish this before one month. '

After about 15 days, Robin has only read about three thousand books. Seeing the Robin who was still reading the books with great interest, Maria who stood about 10 feet away from him said, 

" Wow...  He is faster than you. But still look at his daily routine, he eats he read he sleep he eats he read he sleep...  Doesn't he look like a puppet to you."

" Nope, he looks like a committed person to me."
said Peter who stood beside her. 

"Even though he has commitment, he can't finish seven thousand books in 15 days. " said Maria. She felt bad as Robin would be disappointed when the time comes. 

They having been standing there for about 10 minutes, but Robin didn't even look at them. He was totally into reading. 

This is not the first time. Every time they came to visit him in the last 15 days, it's the same. 

So both of them just left him be. 

But for Robin from the first day everytime he finishes reading a book, he felt like his reading skills are improving rapidly. So he continuously read, even when some books were repetitive. 

From the books Robin came to understand about the geographical location of the CELTIC. It isn't much different from what before Peter to him. But there was something different about the cultivation levels from what Peter has said. Peter just told him basic realms. But for every realm, they are further divided in to three levels- low level, mid level and high level. For example, Robin is now an 
Begginer Assassin-Low level. 
Then comes 
Begginer Assassin- mid level and 
Begginer Assassin- high level. 

Now he understands why it took seventy years for Peter to reach Grand Realm. But Robin doesn't know whether Peter is in Grand realm low level, mid level or high level.

But he knows the level difference from low level to high level is greater. 

And most important is longevity of life. A Begginer realm can live for hundred years. And it's gets doubled as your realm increases. 

' A Mystic realm can live for 3200 years'
--------
Robin reading speed didn't increase after reading two thousand books that is on the tenth day. For five days, he read one thousand books. But as he finished total of three thousand books. He felt like a new skill is unlocked within him. 

After that, his reading skill entered a new realm. His reading skill increased into fast reading.

Robin finished reading five thousand books in ten days. 
--------
25th day

There was only one thousand and eight hundred books left now. Since he read 200 books on his first night here.

Looking at the remaining books in the rack, Robin thought, 

' five days for thousand and eight hundred books, Will be easy pie. Hehe'

The reason for his happiness is because of a deal between him and Maria. On the 15 day of his assignment, Maria came to library at night and met him. She said with a beautiful voice in his ears,

" If you can finish reading these books in 30 days, I will show you, my dress color. "

And Robin knew what dress color she meant. So that has become his motivation for completing the assignment. 

As Robin was thinking about these things with a lewd smile on his face, he heard Peter's voice, 

" Robin, we are going out for a work  and will come after five days. The spirits will look after your foods."

Hearing that Robin looked up and saw both Peter and Maria have dress in formals. Peter wore a formal suit. 

 Maria is not wearing her usual maid outfit. She is wearing a blue long gown, it's a sleeveless one. 
Looking at that Robin gulped. Seeing that, Maria said with a smiling face, 

" It looks like you are going to win the deal. "

But she thought to herself, 
' I will just erase his memories of the deal. '

Peter asked, 

" What deal? "

Robin said, flushed. 

" Nothing Master....  Have a safe trip. "

Seeing that, Peter just said, 

" Okay, you take care. "

After they left Robin grinned to himself, 

' At last I will walk the path of reaching my harem. Hehe...  Even though you are in Ascending-mystic realm, I will take you into my harem'

Hahaha.... 

Then Robin closed the door of the library and sat down. But he didn't read the books. Instead he wanted to do something that he has been waiting for 20 days or to say for 5 years. 

It was about the artifact, Angel gave him. After he entered this world, he tried lot of times to call for the LIMITLESS ARTIFACT  but it didn't respond to him. But after reading the books he came to an understanding before 20 days. That artifact only react upon magic. And after only reaching Begginer Realm a person can produce magic. So that was the reason why the artifact didn't respond to him before. 

As for the reason why he didn't try it out, after knowing about this is because of Peter and Maria. Those guys will definitely find him using the artifact, Angel gave him. And he can't explain to them how he got the artifact. So he waited to be alone and try it out. 

' Now is the right time '

Then he tried to reach out to the LIMITLESS ARTIFACT, as felt the connection to the artifact, a black light enveloped him..... Robin can't feel a thing.... 
 He blanked out..... 


As the black light in the library disappeared, Robin couldn't be seen anywhere...... 



------------

This is about a guy, whose is a best assassin.

THE KING OF DARK. 
HE got pushed into an hellish fight to become The King. Will he attain the throne in this BATTLE ROYALE....


and his name is ROBIN JOKER

When Maria saw the notifications, she was immediately elated.

"Yay!"

She quickly pressed on the [YES] and her [Basic Language Mastery] was upgraded to [Advance Language Mastery]

[Advance Language Mastery (0/10,000)

Rank: E

Complete understanding of common demonic language and elementary understanding of all other languages, able to read 3-line incantations and write language functions and structures

Upgradeable: Linguistics E
Requirement met: Advanced Language Master S]

When Maria saw the [Linguistics] skill being the upgradeable skill after [Advanced Language Mastery], she immediately began to tear up.

She looked up at Zelundo who was next to her with tear-filled eyes. Zelundo only smirked playfully and patted her head lightly.

"YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO CONSOLE ME!" 

"Ahahahaha~ you're one interesting little missy! Go on, start reading those books!"

*DING* [Zelundo has tasked you with reading the library's books!]

[Quest Received: Study Time

Read every book inside of the library. While this quest is active, proficiency and EXP gained from reading is doubled.

Time Limit: 29 Days
Penalty: -100 FAV with Zelundo
Rewards: +1000 FAV with Zelundo, +100 REP, +50 INT, [Book Keeping], 100,000 EXP]

"Uhh..."

"Hey, you get some benefits if you're able to completely understand those books! Now hurry up and get started! Try and get the [Linguistics] skill before the month has ended, okay?"

"A MONTH?!"

"Hey, that's the shortest time you could take to learn [Linguistics]! No slacking off now, hurry up and begin reading!"

"Nooooo!!!"

As Maria's despaired ridden voice echoed throughout the library, Hella had just come out of the Magic Tower with a light gait in her steps. 

She had finally one upped the stupid Arch Mage geezer in the tower and they agreed to a bet that he would teach Maria about [Magic Comprehension] and [Magic Deduction] if she could learn both [Linguistics] and [Book Keeping] from Zelundo before a month had passed.

"Hehe, just you wait you stupid geezer. Our Lady Envoy will be able to learn those skills with time to spare! A million gold, a favor, plus that 5 century-old wine are in the bag, OHOHOHOHO~!" Hella roared in laughter. It was a good thing no one was there to witness her out of character moment, she quickly cleared her throat in embarrassment and skipped happily back to the Dark God's Temple.

******

3 in-game weeks had passed since Maria was given the [Study Time] quest and she was floating through the air while reading a book at her leisure. The players who had come to the library to receive a different quest had grown used to seeing the girl floating through the air while reading a book. 

It was a unique sight, but it was welcomed since she also sometimes helped players search for the specific book that they needed to complete the quest they got from the library's receptionist. Players even began calling her the Library's Angel.

"It's almost been a month...just a little bit more..." Maria said as she finished reading another book.

If Maria knew this was how long it would take to learn a skill, she wouldn't have bothered asking Hella and coming over to the library to learn anything.

What she didn't know however, that there was a simpler way to learn the skill. All she needed to do was complete the library receptionist's chain quest and acquire the [Linguistic] skill book from that.

However, the process of learning the skill which granted bonus stat points to a player's stats was left out. So in a way, Maria had stumbled upon the greatest method of learning skills, which was the manual, hardworking way. 

The process of learning skills in Unitale was divided into 3, creating the skill through repeated usage or understanding, acquiring it from a skill book, and learning it through mentorship.

Maria has already experienced 2 of these methods and now she was going through the hardships of the third method. 

It was time consuming, but the rewards brought by the process of learning the skill in this way were abundant. Just from finishing [Zelundo's Basic Language Materials], Maria had gained 10 INT. 

So if she finished reading more books, then the stat bonuses she would gain would be enormous, of course, it wasn't like every book she read gave her stat points, only a select few did.

From a gamer's perspective, all that hard work was worth it. It was just like grinding for experience points, but instead this was for grinding stat points. Every addition to one's stats was a big boon. 

This was especially so since Unitale heavily relied on stats and currently, the only known way to gain stat points was through leveling up, fulfilling special quests and objectives that rewarded Free Stat Points. 

So this mentorship was an unexpectedly great find. It had to be mentioned that in order to be eligible to learn from a mentor, one needed a High Ranking NPC's recommendation and personal referral. 

In order to get that, a player needed to have high favorability with a High Ranking NPC, something that Maria had already acquired so early in the game.

High Priestess Hella practically worshipped Maria for being the Dark God's Envoy. Her favorability with the NPC was already elevated to a high value and she was still earning more through interaction and by completing her quests.

For now, only Maria had learned about this mentorship function that the NPCs provided, but she didn't understand the significance of it yet.

******

"Hey Mary, let's go questing and hunting later~" Lizzy said while the girls were eating lunch in the school's cafeteria. 

When Maria heard her, she couldn't help but cast Lizzy a sad look and say, "Sorry Liz, I can't...I'm stuck learning the [Linguistics] and [Book Keeping] skills at the library..."

"Huh? It's already been over a week and you still haven't learned it?!"

"...please don't remind me..." Maria replied in complete dejection.

Maria still hadn't earned enough proficiency to upgrade her skill to [Linguistics]. She was also only a couple of books away from completing [Study Time] and getting [Book Keeper] as well.

Even until now, Maria didn't understand what the [Book Keeping] skill was for, but since the requirement to finish the quest was to actually read ALL of the books inside the library, she could only continuing trudging forward.

She enjoyed reading the books, but whenever her friends talked about hunting and grinding their levels while at school, Maria couldn't help but feel dejected and left out. Her friends had already broken past level 50 and had already gone through their class advancement quests and upgraded their classes.

"Mary...what quest are you doing? Y'know, on the forums in the guide section, the [Linguistics] quest was fairly easy and you could practically complete it in 1 day!"

"Huh?"

Lizzy pulled out her phone and opened up the Unitale Forums. She opened up the player made guides and quickly found the [Librarian's Request] quest and showed it to Maria.

"Hm? I didn't know about this..."

"Really?"

Amanda looked at Maria and asked, "What quest are you doing right now? It's obviously not this, right?"

"Y-yeah...it's called [Study Time]..."

"[Study Time]? That's new, so who's the quest giver?"

"The Library's Director, the old geezer Zelundo!" Maria said in anger. "At first it wasn't [Study Time], instead it was something called [Learn How to Read 1], but that stupid, lying, oppressive—"

Amanda exclaimed when she heard Maria's words. "Library Director? No way! You normally wouldn't be able to meet him unless you have a high reputation and a huge amount of favorability with the Library's Receptionist!"

Maria tilted her head in confusion and said, "Really? But I met him right when I entered the library! Of course, Miss Hella was the one who brought him down to meet me and I just followed after him to the library's upper floors and he issued out a quest to me..."

"R-really? And the quest reward is [Linguistics], right?"

"Yeah, and something called [Book Keeping], not sure what that is...he also gave me the [Basic Language Mastery] which could upgrade to [Linguistics]...I just need a little bit more proficiency, but it took 3 in-game weeks just to get over 98,000 proficiency points, dammit!" Maria burst out in anger. She had been reading numerous books for the past week and hasn't been able to go out and grind some monsters.

Zelundo had basically locked her inside the library at this point. She kept complaining that it was imprisonment and a violation of human rights, but Zelundo scoffed at her and told her she wasn't even human to begin with so it didn't even matter!

By now, Maria had nearly read all the books inside the library, only a couple tens of books left before she finished the [Study Time] quest and maybe raise her [Advanced Language Mastery] to S rank. She did gain a whole bunch of INT and experience from finishing a book. The experience she gained had even leveled her up twice and her INT value had grown to an absurd amount. 

However, Maria still hadn't opened her [Status] window so she didn't know of this just yet.

"I'll probably finish later today, so I'll contact you once I'm able to leave the library!"

"Okay, that's good. By the way, you should join our guild already! We finally pooled enough funds together and we successfully created our guild!"

Universe Tales. The new VRMMORPG that supported the Full Dive system with the game's settings boasting a 99% likeness to reality.

Enter Maria Heltania, a smart and bright high school girl who's unfortunately directionally and technologically challenged. Being forced by her best friend to play the new VRMMO Universe Tales, she decides to be an Angel. Only to be met with misfortune right from the start because of her unique habits, what more lucky or unlucky events could possibly fall upon this young girl?

"Uhh...Little Miss, I don't think this is the Quest Location."

"No! This is definitely the place!"

"...but we're in the middle of a battlefield..."

"The map clearly said-- Oh wait...it's upside down...or maybe right side up...?"

2001
 Muntenia
               Wallachia was divided into two districts Muntenia (Greater Wallachia) and Oltenia (lesser Wallachia), this division occurred in 1419 when Vlad Dracular gave away the secrets of his people. Death plagued the country and corpses had bite marks on their necks. At first Gnats were blamed for this disaster, or curses according to the gypsies divination
Dracula in his drunken state had told them otherwise. The identified blood suckers were expelled to Oltenia and with Anne's dark magic and spells. A rift was created and at her bidding black stones were poured into the rift in great quantities.
   The black stones were powered by the moon and made it impossible for the vampires to cross over. For once,the people of Wallachia were indebted and
grateful to the so scorned gypsy. But notwithstanding, the moonlight nights were approaching. Without the moon, the black stones were powerless and the vampires unleashed their horrors to the mortals.
   The marketsquare was the busiest place in Muntenia. For the rich elite in the society, it was rowdy. Bells jingled erratically as sellers sang to attract buyers to their wares.   "Sweet roses for your
sweetheart "....There were tents and booth owned by gypsies for their fortune telling and a snake charmer stood at the end of one, displaying acrobatic skills with a black cobra and the gathered crowd watched with glee and horror. Two gypsies gossiped about the approaching nights of horror
           "Those hunters efforts will be futile as usual "The other trembled "We have our charms,
Rona "
           "Useless, we just sell them for money, we all are at the mercy of the almighty.... "the word 'daredevil' froze on her lips and she just sighed. The thought of him alone made them quiver. They both stared as Peugeot pulled up and a young woman alighted, clutching her purse in an alarming speed, she made way through the crowd. A dark eyed woman chased
after her screaming
                  "Draga, wait! "
The young woman turned to her
  "Louka, will you stop calling me 'Draga' "
              Louka smiled, happy she had caught her attention.
      "You re my Draga"she retorted with undisguised adoration "Wonder why you dislike your birth name and choose to bear an 'Eng--lish ' name "Impatiently she thrust wads of leu into Louka's
palm. Giving Louka money each time she visited the marketsquare was now a tradition. She turned and continued walking at her usual flurry paces.
               "Draga!"she mused. She was  her father's Draga. Her eyes grew teary at the thought of her dead father.He alone had the right to call her that! He gave her that name because she was his girl.. Loucas Adam's darling. Darling was the most common
endearment in Wallachia.Everybody was someobody's Draga. But she was sure when other people called her that, none meant it.
         She pushed at the entrance door of the library. Her entry was accompanied with stares as many heads were strained to glare at her. And almost immediately hushed conversations began. Smoothing her silky apparel, she walked straight to the librarian,
ignoring the contemptuous look directed to her by the librarian's plump daughter.
    "Good day, Ms Balan I'm here for the books I ordered for "she said smiling warmly. The books her maid Elene, would never touch, so she had to come for them.
          Ms Balan smiled back as she turned to get the books, Elizabeth nodded to the young woman despite the disdain written boldly on her face.
"How do you do, Maria "
Maria snorted in reply as she studied Elizabeth why didn't she have such skin, as smooth as alabaster or lips like red wine?It was indeed sinful for anyone to be as beautiful as Elizabeth Draga Fleming, the younger woman thought eyeing her enviously. She was by far her rival for Sergius, the most eligible bachelor. It was no secret that Sergius lost interest in her after spying the violet eyed girl
in front of her.
         Ms Balan returned with the books wrapped in a bag. Her eyes sad as she wondered why such a beautiful girl would be interested in horrific books and not the romantic like other ladies were.
     "The book of the dead "Maria shrieked ensnaring people's attention.
         "Such horrific books are Elizabeth's favourites "she drawled mockingly. Ignoring her statement
Elizabeth fumbled with her purse for money. Maria's expression turned into greed at the wads of money being held out to her.
    Besting her mother, she snatched them, then sarcastically whispered "Draga mea "
 Outraged, Elizabeth glared at her
   "Don't say such words carelessly, l'm no darling of yours! So call me Elizabeth "she retreated stressing the Elizabeth.    Maria huffed
"Nonsense! What's Elizabeth? "eyeing her flaring curls, she growled scornfully
    "Elizabeth must mean 'the devil's daughter ' "
     "No! "a voice came to her rescue and Maria studied the speaker with a mixture of admiration and pain. He had a finely featured face and a sturdy attractive body.
            Avoiding Maria's heated gaze, he continued
  "Dr Fleming named her after
his beloved English queen Elizabeth Tudor I"his hand reached to touch her curls "Because of her infamous red hair and his inability to pronounce 'Draga ' "
   The harridan sniffed contemptuously
     "Where then comes her strange hair? Bet my life that she got it from hell "
          This outburst was followed with giggles and whispers. Elizabeth could hear some
muttering
         "Heard she was expelled from school because she is possessed by demons!"
    "legions of demon indeed! "
 Maria struck the last jibe
    "Now she writes books about demons! "
   Elizabeth felt a flush rise to her cheeks, her violet eyes flashing in anger. Seeing those turbulent eyes, Maria backed away to a safer distance. Tracing the cross sign
over her face she retorted icily
 "Eyes of a witch "
   "Silence! "the man who had touched her curls snapped. A hush silence ensured, It was apparent that they were afraid of this speaker. Draped in guns, he surely inspired fear. Clutching her arm, he led her out.
      "Considering the numbers of exotic libraries in Bucharest, I wonder why you are here " He snarled.
Her chin rose up arrogantly
 "I get the books I desire here! "she stomped her feet. Already knowing the 'desired books ' he asked no further questions.
      Placing his hands possessively on her waist he pressed a kiss against her cheeks. And she stiffened at his embrace, he felt it and smiled sadly, it was expected. Elizabeth was just too frigid. He stared down into her face, even though the day was hot, the heat
rising from her body was sweetly scented.
   "You should stay away from Maria, Draga mea "...his calling her 'my darling'infuriated her but she let it pass.
     "I don't understand her hatred of me, Sergius "
    Sergius swallowed the knot of apprehension clogged in his throat, apart from the jealousy that Elizabeth was far more beautiful than her. He was responsible for
the incensed hatred.
   "Why are you here? "she curiously asked.
    He smiled flirtatiously "I came to get this.. "he revealed the bouquet of roses hidden behind him. At her admiring glances he added
  "..For you.. as an encouragement. How is your book going?  you know how we hunters adore your works "
      She grinned, an act that spread warmth to his heart.
"Because it spills most  secrets of the vampire "
  He ran his hands over her fiery hair "You are so talented"
   He glanced away, unable to meet her clear eyed gaze. He had betrayed her trust countless times, spreading horrible rumors about her to any pursuing admirer 'she's cursed 'he would tell them 'I know her too well 'he would add with a speculate gleam  "she's an insane whore, plagued by demons "Then
he would grin victoriously when their interests turned to disdain.
    She turned to wave as her Peugeot pulled away. With a smug satisfied grin, he thought 'I'm the only one for you now, or you'll die an old maiden, Draga mea "

Ad-Din stood up from his desk as soon as the teacher left the class. He turned to Calia and spoke through gritted teeth 'you, follow me'. 

Calia turned and watched Ad-Din leave through the back door and followed him. Karen whose eyes were on the two of them decided to follow closely behind them without their knowledge.

Calia walked casually and relaxed towards the direction that Ad-Din took until she was suddenly pulled into the school's sickbay. 
She blinked caught off guard but smiled when she realised it was Ad-Din that pulled her inside. Ad-Din shut the door immediately and put his hand on Calia's mouth as soon as she opened her mouth to speak. He signalled her to look at the pinhole of the door.

Outside, Karen stopped at the door of the sickbay looking confused. She was following Ad-Din and Calia just now but she lost them at the most crucial moment. 
She looked around and down the stairs and saw no trace of them. She turned to the door in front of her and tried to open it and it was locked. She frowned and murmured 'where did they go just now?' Karen looked about again before going away.

Inside Calia and Ad-Din saw her through the pinhole and looked at each other. It seemed they well quite careless and almost got caught by Karen. 
Ad-Din glared at Calia and she spoke 'what? You don't think that was my fault. Do you?'

'What do you think? You've been acting quite out of character lately. Say, are you high on something?' Ad-Din said. 

They were now murmuring to each other.

'What? In the whole of my entire life, you are the first person to dare accuse me of being high on something. But, if you care to know I am definitely high on curiosity. Say, what did you and Miss Lee do the whole night? I know you didn't sleep at your quarters because I was there until 5 AM that I went to prepare for school'.

'What we did is not your business. I'm still thinking of ways to get my money back from you, you, money groper'. 

'Hey, don't talk as if I stole the money from you, kay? I worked for it. Had it not being for my unbeatable dating advise. Would you have gotten the chance to make it up to Miss Lee? You should be grateful to me'.

'Whatever. Just don't talk about my love life in school. Just now, your actions raised questions. You know Karen, that girl is such a sick stalker. You said she came to the house looking for me?'

'Yes, she did. Say, you have never given her any signs that you were interested in her but she just keeps coming the more you reject her. Doesn't she have self-pride? I'm almost losing my patience with her'.

'I will deal with her. As for you, just stop been nosy. Will you? Unless you want the whole school to know that we are related. I don't mind letting everyone know. You are the one with wild imaginations'. Ad-Din said and opened the door slightly and checked outside before going out. 
Calia waited for a few minutes before also going out.
........

It was almost second period when Maria woke up. She felt refreshed and rejuvenated after that nap. She really needed it but now she had another thing to worry about. 
Her next lesson was with the final years of class 3 A and Ad-Din was in that class. When Maria thought about what happened last night, she blushed. She was relieved that she had a chocolate skin. Even if she blushed, her face would never turn red like a tomato.

Maria quickly went to the staff room and picked her books. She went out and met Arnold at the door. He was holding two bottles of spring water and offered Maria one which she took.
 She thought things would be awkward with him but he was a gentleman and never brought the confession issue again. He treated Maria well though and as such Maria didn't want to be the odd one. She would often go to have lunch with him and the other staff whenever she got the time and chance.

Maria walked into the classroom and stood at the podium. She put her books down and picked the marker and started writing a sample of questions on the board. They were five questions in number. Maria finished and put the marker down before saying 'you have 5 minutes to answer the questions on the board'.

The students immediately picked up their pace and hurriedly removed their books to answer the questions on the board.

Maria smirked wickedly to herself. She hadn't prepared to give them a test. The idea came to her when she entered because her nerves were working against her. As the students were busy answering the questions, Maria got a text from Lexis. It was a funny video that Lexis sent her and she smiled watching it.

Five minutes into the test and Ad-Din stood up and walked to the podium with a sheet of paper spoke startling Maria 'Miss Lee, I am done with the test'.

Maria blinked twice as she looked at him. He was the first to bring his paper in front. 
Maria frowned and pouted her lips like a dissatisfied kid before snatching the paper from Ad-Din and looked at it. 

Her eyes almost popped out when she saw that he had indeed finished the test. 

Maria looked at him again. Wasn't it just some minutes ago that she finished writing the questions on the board?

Ad-Din almost chuckled as he watched Maria. He knew she gave them the test on purpose and she was trying to avoid him but he wasn't going to give her the pleasure of ignoring him.

'Ok. You can go back and sit. Your colleagues are yet to finish, right?' Maria said putting the answered sheet inside the middle of her book. Ad-Din nodded and smiled before going back to his desk.

Maria lost interest in watching the video and turned her phone off before stuffing it into her pocket. Soon, Calia also stood up with her work and the rest of the class followed.

My name is Jeremiah Rayce, years ago I lived a normal life, until I had a strange experience, that changed my life forever.

This is my story;


YEARS AGO

MARIA: Get ready for your check up Jerry!

JERRY: Ok mom, but im still hungry.

MARIA: Buh you just ate.

JERRY: It wasn't enough.

MARIA: I Have 4 kids Jerry and I feed them all, and if you think you are still hungry then eat your brother's leftovers!!!.

( I'm the third child of my parents, my mom worked as a cleaner in a hospital and my dad on the other hand was the owner of a fancy diner. He had some serious issues with my mom that almost led to a divorce, but he couldn't do it, because he didn't want to ruin his reputation, so he got separated from Her. He took my elder brother, but he came around sometimes though. I was asthmatic at that time, and it was severe so I had to go for checkup's from time to time.)


AT THE HOSPITAL

(Maria and Jerry gets in to the doctor's office and seat's)

DOCTOR: Welcome miss Rayce.

MARIA: It's Maria, and please don't call me by my husband's name.

DOCTOR: (Chuckles) Sorry ma'am, So Jeremy how is your chest?

JERRY: It's fine and doc it's Jerry not Jeremy.

DOCTOR: What's the difference kid?

(Jerry scoffs)

DOCTOR: (turns to Maria) Your child is ok, but he should be taking the drugs I prescribed for him.

MARIA: He does doc, but he still wheezes whenever he stresses himself.

DOCTOR: Then he shouldn't stress himself, he should take enough water everyday and abstain from any form of stress, his inhaler?

JERRY: In my pocket.

DOCTOR: (writes down some prescriptions for Jerry) You should get him these drugs, it'll help ease up the pain, that'll be all

MARIA: Thanks so much Doc.

DOCTOR: You're welcome.

(They both wait outside the doctor's office)

MARIA: You should get going Jerry, I'm staying for work, and when you get home take care of your siblings, okay?

JERRY: Ok mom.

(As I was walking home I saw this book shop that wasn't there before, even if it was, I maybe too busy with Mom to notice it, but I just walked straight home)


(AT HOME)

(Jerry comes back to see the house in disarray, so he calls his siblings)

JERRY: Hey Henry get Anita here!
(Sighs) this kids are something else

(The kids runs inside their room, and Mavis comes home)

MAVIS: Hey sucker!

(And that's my elder sis, she's kind of like my bestie but nah!)

JERRY: Hey mave!

MAVIS: (Smiles) How's my asthmatic bro doing?

JERRY: (Chuckles) you are nuts sis.

MAVIS: Yeah I know, and here, (bring out a box) I brought something for you…

JERRY: (Jerry opens it up) Wow Jordan kicks!! Thanks sis!

MAVIS: Yeah no prob, so how was today's check up?

JERRY: Boring, well doc said I'm okay.

MAVIS: Or you said you're okay? (stares at him)

JERRY: (Chuckles) Yeah i said it, but he said it too...

MAVIS: (Laughs) I'll be in my room Jerry.

JERRY: Ok sis.


NEXT DAY

(AT SCHOOL)

(Jerry get to school and meets his best friend Carl)

CARL: Hey bro

JERRY: Hi Carl

CARL: Heard you were absent yesterday cause of your appointment with the doctor.

JERRY: Yeah

CARL: Nice, so how did it go?

JERRY: Smoothly.

CARL: Ok well Rita has been asking about you man.

JERRY: Where is she?


CARL: At the library bro, and I think you should go meet her

JERRY: Ok catch you later bro (He uns off)

( Rita Anderson, the girl of my dreams, I had a huge crush on her, just like me she's smart, intelligent and overall beautiful, I wished she could be my girlfriend, but how can she love someone like me)

(Jerry gets to the library, and rita seeing Jerry coming towards her, says;

RITA: Wow here comes my strong man!

JERRY: (Chuckles) You know I'm asthmatic so basically I'm not strong, and also I have a lanky structure.

RITA: Shhhh I wasn't talking about all the shits you just mentioned.

JERRY: Then what were you talking about?

(Rita comes closer and touches his chest)

(Jerry smiles)

RITA: You were absent yesterday, why?

JERRY: I had to go for a check up.

RITA: So how are you feeling now?

JERRY: I feel better now.

RITA: That's good to hear.
(Jerry spots a sausage roll crumb on Rita's collar and he reaches to take it off)

HEY!

JERRY: Huh?

DAX: Get off my girlfriend's body

RITA: Your girlfriend?

( And this is Dax Rodger our sports captain, our senior, and also a pain in the ass)

JERRY: I'm so sorry it isn't what you think..

RITA: Why are you apologising to him?

JERRY: (Whispers) He's our senior Rita.

DAX: (Grabs Jerry by the neck and squeezes tight) Get the hell out now!!!

(He releases jerry and he runs off)

(Jerry panting continuously and falls, Carl sees him and rushes to get him)

CARL: Hey Jerry! Jerry!

(Rita runs towards Jerry)

RITA: what's wrong with him?

CARL: I Guess he was stressed out.

RITA: Its Dax, he did this, his inhaler where is it?

CARL: It should be in his pocket (He finds it and gives it to him)

(Jerry slowly regain's his breath)

RITA: What we're you thinking, running off like that!!

JERRY: I'm sorry I just...

RITA: got Scared? You shouldn't be!

JERRY: Thanks (Smiles)

RITA: It wasn't a compliment (Rita leaves)

CARL: oooh, that was one hell of a scene back there.

(BELL RINGS)

CARL: Catch ya later dude.

JERRY: yeah carl off to class.

CARL: oh and Jerry, im going home with you today.

JERRY: The usual route?

CARL: No man the alley, SPOOKY! 

(Both chucles and leaves)

( We didn't take our usual route home, just cause Carl wanted something, "Fun" which meant "Spooky")

CARL: So what happened between you and rita?

JERRY: It was nothing man, we were just talking about stuffs

CARL: Yeah and the "stuffs" could have gotten you into trouble with dax, man are you insane? He could have beaten you to death, well he wont even touch you to do that.

JERRY: Yeah i get it, so dont try to rub it in.

CARL: You should consider your condition before getting into trouble!

JERRY: Yeah that's cool, coming from a fat and averagely heightened dude.

CARL: Did you just call me fat?

JERRY: What does it look like i said?

CARL: Take it back now!

JERRY: NO! what are you gonna do fight me?

CARL: AHHHH! (Screams and tries landing a blow on Jerry's face but stops)

JERRY: Yeah that's what i thought, weakling!

CARL: No, look!

(Jerry turns around and sees the bookshop he saw the other time)

JERRY: Has that bookshop been here?

CARL: I guess not, I've been here couple of time, but I've never seen a bookshop here before.

JERRY: So I think we should probably head home carl.

CARL: No we should check it out.

JERRY: No we better get out if here.

(Carl gets inside the bookshop and Jerry follows him)

CARL: Wow look at all these artifacts and these books.

JERRY: Yeah, wow I could read this all week!

CARL: And being that you're such a "Reading type" you should probably stay a while!

The soft wind blew inside the quiet room. There was a fresh smell of old books. The shelves were filled with various books and there wasn't even a single book that Byun Ye Ji hadn't read. 

In her 21 years of life in this world she completed every book in those shelves. These books were her escape from the real world. 

The world that she wanted to have no connection. The world filled with two headed snakes. The world that would just hurt her. 

"Miss! I brought lunch!" a maid called her walking in with tray full of appetizing foods. 

She looked in her mid-30s and wore a black standard maid uniform. She was atleast 5 feet tall but her shoes added 2 inch in her height. She had strawberry blonde hair that was tied in a high bun, freckles covered her face and her dark brown eyes were shining with curiosity. 

"Miss! Don't worry! It me! Maria!" she called out for her young miss again. 

"Maria?" a soft voice spoke from the last shelf of the room. 


Maria kept the tray filled with food on the table close to the opened window. 


She smiled an walked towards the last shelf. There she was. 
Byun Ye Ji. 

The 21 year old stood there checking a book. She had long messy pitch-black hair with messy bangs which reached right above her eyes. She had milk fair skin which glowed under the sun. Her stormy grey eyes were like dark clouds filled with sorrow and sadness yet it looked dangerous. Her pink lips were sealed. She was way taller than Maria, she was around 5'7 feet and stood there looking nervous. 

She was maybe the most beautiful girl that Maria had seen in her life.

"Don't worry Miss, I came alone." Maria said with a smile. She saw her young miss getting nervous and sweating. 

"I'll set the table and leave." she said smiling brightly. 

Ye Sil just nodded at that. Her maid set the table and then left. 

She walked towards the table and sat down at the chair. 

The library was right next to her bed room that was on the fourth floor. As she ate the chicken that was especially made for her she looked down the window. She could literally see everything from there.

She looked down and saw her parents laughing and talking with some servant. They were smiling and laughing.

Ye Sil never wanted anything more than that. She wanted a man. She wanted to be with someone who understands her but with her fear of people, it was car from possible for that to happen.

She quietly ate her lunch, while looking down at her parents. She was scared of them. That was the truth. 

She was scared of her parents. Even though her parents loved her more than she knew but she couldn't help it. She was scared but mostly she was lonely.

She wanted to eat everyday with her parents, she wanted to talk with them freely, she wanted friends and she even wanted a man to love her. 

"Why can't I be normal?" she asked herself looking down the window. She turned front and saw that book lying on the table.

The book had a purple hard cover with pink flowers design on it. In Gold Italics the title of the book was written "Waiting For You".

'It's all your fault!' 

She wanted to burn the book but what was the use if it? She couldn't do anything by burning the book. The only thing she would get after burning the book was a tray full of ashes.

"I wish I didn't exist." she mummered and then laid back on the chair. 

'The main leads must have been together by now. Stupid author! He gave me this stupid phobia!'

"Miss!" she heard a knock on her door. She looked up and saw Maria standing there.

"Are you done?" she asked.

Ye Ji quietly nodded and took the book on the table along with to the last shelf.

She sat down on the wooden floor and blankly stared at the book. The book that she was holding had a sweet love story and Ye Ji was a character inside that book.

I am just an extra and extra meant to die. Well I prevented my death but due to my high school experience I realised that I will end up alone with my cat for the rest of my life. My cat ended to dying so I will end up alone for the rest of my life. 

I finally left my home and went out to live on my own. I got a place but I have to share it with 3 girls and let me tell you those girls are weird, but who am I say that? I am weird as well.
