this is just a book im reading and need the audio function! so dont waste time here im already in chapte 55 or something

The gunners also had pronounced weaknesses. When it came to their reaction, speed, and strength, they would always be inferior to ability users and ancient warriors. 
"No! There's no way he can do it!"
What she was about to witness would leave her shocked.
Just like the arrows, Qin Feng triggered the assault cannon, pelting the Neapolitan Mastiff with a hail of bullets.
Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow!
When the smoke and gunpowder cleared, the Neapolitan Mastiff was clearly maimed by the relentless shelling.
"Aaaoooouuuuuu!" The Neapolitan Mastiff howled as it was sent flying into the air.
Unlike Lu Meng, Qin Feng did not keep his finger on the trigger unremittingly. It was always twisting the nozzle with a click, raising it a little, and then a steady pull.
With no mercy whatsoever, another shower of bullets flooded the Neapolitan Mastiff, piercing the most vulnerable part of its body, its abdomen, and punching holes into its vital organs.
Just like that, with two attacks, the Neapolitan Mastiff was severely wounded.
"Aooouuuuuuu!" The Neapolitan Mastiff fell from the sky, howling soulfully as if its end was near.
Although the injuries inflicted on him were not deadly for now, if the fight were to continue, it would surely die.
So, it called out, signaling for its pack.
One by one, pairs of glowing red eyes began to flicker in the dense forest.
Red-eyed jackals!
When the Neapolitan Mastiff was hunting its prey, they were watching by the side, not participating left the beast general might think that they were going for its food.
Now that they were allowed to join the hunt, their crimson eyes were practically dripping with blood, mouths drooling to the ground as they glared at Qin Feng, eager to tear into him.
"Come on then!" Qin Feng deftly grabbed onto the assault tower.
It would seem the assault cannon had a spirit of its own, as it mimicked his movements and ferociously shredded the jackals into pieces.
Qin Feng noticed a pair of red eyes before one of the jackals even made a move, and pulled the trigger!
In a blink of an eye, the jackal was pattered with over twenty bullets.
"Aaaaooouuuuu!"
The smell of blood set off the pack of jackals, with three of them charging directly towards their assailant! Qin Feng shifted the assault tower and sent bullets flying everywhere again.
Fight them off!!!
Fight them off again!
"Come and help me reload the canon if you are still breathing!" Qin Feng's icy tone muddled between the deafening shots.
Lu Meng suddenly snapped out of her daze and crawled to Qin Feng while trying to bear the pain.
Li Yaoyao quickly ran to her friend and tended to her wound. But her eyes were glued on Qin Feng. That young man looked so calm, and besides, there was a charm about him.
Swoosh!
Rows of ammunition were being loaded into the weapon. Lu Meng watched Qin Feng's antics in amusement – that precision, that skill; it was mesmerizing.
Qin Feng finished shooting one last round and then stopped.
When Lu Meng saw that he had ceased fire, she panicked. "What is it? Why did you stop? You ran out of ammo?"
Qin Feng turned to look Lu Meng in the eye. "They're all dead. We'll split the loot between us. The Neapolitan Mastiff is mine!"
Lu Meng looked around and saw the lifeless red-eyed jackals scattered all over the field. The nightmare that was pursuing them was now already dead.
"They're all dead!" Lu Meng's eyes widened.
Qin Feng ignored the naïve little girl and was already standing over the corpses, absorbing the energy into his body, which was supposed to strengthen him and increase his speed.
When as he walked up to the Neapolitan Mastiff, a massive wave of energy shocked him!
Buzz!
Qin Feng felt his surroundings tremble, and his strength got a substantial unexpected boost.
G2 tier!
If he told anyone, at all, that on the second day of his awakening, he had risen to two tiers without any potions, their jaws would have fallen to their feet!
That was Qin Feng's ability, however.
This ability that awakened only a minute after the injection could potentially reach S tier.
Right now, however, Qin Feng still had not mastered this special ability, having not honed himself to exploit it to its fullest.
Qin Feng suppressed his newly acquired as a measure for discretion and began to collect his loot.
The red-eyed jackal's fur and sharp claws were materials that could be sold. 
Ultimately, to make the exchange with Chengbei colony's officials, he needed to cut out the ears of the red-eyed jackals.
But forty over red-eyed jackals could definitely not compare to one Neapolitan Mastiff.
That. Now that was a beast general!
Qin Feng carved into the Neapolitan Mastiff's body with his dagger, expertly removing its pelt, teeth, and claws.
The most important part was actually located at the center of the creature's chest, near the heart.
Squirt!
Fresh blood splattered as the muscles were quickly sliced. After the ribs were removed, what looked like a spherical red bead was revealed.
Neapolitan Mastiffs were categorized as beast generals because of this energy core in its body, the source of energy for its awakened speed and strength. Most of these were located next to the heart.
This red bead could be used directly to enhance its physique and was many times stronger than G-tier strengthening potions.
Qin Feng pocketed the bead then squeezed the remainder of the materials into his backpack. That was only one Neapolitan Mastiff's worth, and yet his backpack was now fully stuffed!
On the other side of the field, Lu Meng and Li Mengmeng looked as pale as ghosts. When Lu Meng saw the insides of the sliced corpse, she nearly threw up the meal she had last night.
"If it weren't for you, I would've been dead. I still haven't thanked you yet. Please take all of these with you!" Lu Meng protested.
She was never one to stand the sight of blood from dissecting corpses.
Qin Feng glanced at Lu Meng and answered, unreserved, "Sure!"
He was, in fact, about to give the rest to her to minimize her losses, but it seemed like she did not care anyway.
Materials from these red-eyed jackals were not even worth nearly as much as the bullets used tonight!
Right now, Qin Feng needed to create some fortune. After all, he had just been reborn. While he might not have been very successful in his previous life, he was at least a valiant mercenary who had fought hundreds of battles, and one who did not lack money either. 
Currently, he was poor as a pauper and needed a lot of resources to support his training.
He dragged all the red-eyed jackals to a pile and then removed their nails and ears. As their coats were too tattered, he did not collect them.
After a few minutes, Qin Feng had bagged all the materials gathered into his sleeping bag. That thing was nothing very valuable anyway. Even if there were bloodstains on it, he could just replace it with a new one.
Once he was done, he turned around and saw the frightened Lu Meng and Li Yaoyao shuddering on the ground, looking very lost and exhausted.
The sun was rising, and the skies were bright. This meant that the vehicles would start making rounds soon, and they could finally return home!
Qin Feng tied up his sleeping bag and looked around to determine the direction they should head.
"Come with me, let's get back to the colony!" Qin Feng said, dragging the sleeping back behind him.
"Thank you! Thank you!" Li Yaoyao quickly said. She was truly grateful that Qin Feng had helped them and, for the most part, kept them alive to see another day.


The age of darkness has arrived. 
When the rift to an unknown plane suddenly appeared on Earth, monsters invaded, beasts mutated while humans, the once-dominant species fell to the bottom of the food chain. 
A hundred years later, three of the greatest classes evolve amongst humans: ability users, ancient warriors, and gunslingers. 
Qin Feng, an orphan of this dark age was tormented just as he awakened his pinnacle level of special ability, barely surviving for ten years in the post-apocalyptic world. 
Hence, he was reborn...


"So why do you want to see my weapon arsenal?" Ivy broke the awkward silence after she order bubble tea and a slice of Neapolitan cake. She was fidgeting a lot with her fork, she never like awkward silence, its brother was much better than this.

Scarlett completely forgot that's why she was here, she so focused on today's agenda that she had a meeting with Ivy. Then again, she didn't want to have the meeting as it was kinda weird to talk to Ivy. Something that surrounded Ivy made her feel uncertain about Ivy.

"Ai, don't worry about the meeting however I wouldn't mind seeing your arsenal as I wonder how skilled you are," Scarlett waved her hand side to side as she too didn't care too much about the meeting, however, she had a feeling that Ivy would is like Jack of all Spades. "Why is dagger and gun your style of choice?'

The question wasn't new, Ivy has been asked that question of few times by Rosalina and her teammates. She didn't have a straight answer to why she uses dagger and gun, it isn't like she has a hidden knowledge of using blade and gun. She was just an odd natural to it.

Seeing Scarlett wave her hand in front of Ivy's face, she snapped out of little thoughts. "I'm just used to it." Ivy left the answer vague as she saw Scarlett's face saying "Give me more" face.

Seeing that Ivy wasn't giving to elaborate on her vague answer, Scarlett sighed deeply before packing her stuff up and getting ready to leave. She was going to be late for her meeting with Ruby, though she doubted that meeting would be of anything but fun.

Ivy wasn't going to waste the Neapolitan cake, she quickly asked a waiter to wrap it up before taking another sip of her bubble tea. She knew that Ruby tends to be curious, strict, annoying, and a lot of other things but her being...stress and scared of something to happen is something strange.

'Maybe I should ask her or spy on her for a bit,' Ivy thought as she received her wrapped cake, she left the cafe and checked the time before groaning. She was going to be a little late for her first class.

--------------------------------------------------

"As you know, Apathy is one of the most difficult monsters. They are known to be able to drain the willpower of Hunters and drain your Aura simply by a high pitch scream. Now does anyone know how to attack an Apathy when you are under the influence of the monster?" Professor Leviathan asked the students, most of them were bored or just not paying attention while there were a few that actively listens and took notes. 

The classroom was like a college room, rows of seats being higher and higher with two-entryway behind the students and two at the front on the sides. The room was simple, dark-ish brown seating and floor, very lighten white walls, a digital board that had today's lesson and a table in the middle.

Professor Leviathan wore basic clothing, a white top with dark purple-colored jeans, her hair was either dyed or natural as Ivy could see the imperfection on her head where there were strands of navy and purple just coincidentally where Neko ears would be. From a distance, Professor Leviathan wasn't very short, she was at least five feet and eleven inches tall.

Back to the lesson, no one seemed to raise their hands which slightly annoyed Professor Leviathan. Sighing quietly, Ivy raised her hand as Professor Leviathan called on her. She sat up, making it a bit easy for her voice to reach the whole room. "There aren't many ways to attack an Apathy, however, to wake up from the Apathy's scream, have a friend inflict a small amount of pain through your body and vice versa."

"Very good Miss Ivy, say do you have an idea what to use to inflict pain?" Professor Leviathan was indeed curious about Ivy's intelligence, she was still wary about Ivy having a demon inside but she seemed to control it inside.

"A simple cut if you encounter a few like five or less but be in a dark tunnel with twenty or more and it would be very hard to wake someone up unless they have eye implants or just a cyborg," Ivy spoke normally as she very much had the right to, she has had experience with Apathies before just in mass quantity.

Professor Leviathan nodded as everything that Ivy spoke was right, she was even surprised that Ivy knew about the small increase of empowerment they get for each Apathy that is with them. There was no doubt that Ivy wasn't like most students when it comes to monster information.

Ring ring.

The students started packing up their notes and pencil, same goes for Ivy and her teammates as they were seated together in the middle of the room. York and Eden were already gone as Rosalina was just finishing a few notes about the Apathy monster. Lilith waited beside Ivy as the two waited for Rosalina.

"Miss Ivy, can I speak with you for a few minutes?" Professor Leviathan called, she was alining some stacks of papers before stapling them together.

Hoping that she wasn't in trouble, Ivy walked over to Professor Leviathan's desk as she waited for Professor Leviathan to speak her mind or question. She did wonder why she was called, seems odd to be called on after class unless she was in trouble or maybe something good happened. Who knows? Well, except the readers.

Professor Leviathan stretched her back as she turned to face Ivy, she towered Ivy which in some cases made Ivy annoyed but in most, she didn't mind. Professor Leviathan smiled before speaking, "How much do you know about the monsters in this world?"

The question was surprising, Ivy rarely needed to explain why she knew so much but that may just because she worked alone for a long time. She pondered on the thought before replying to Professor Leviathan's question: "I had my AI search a lot of audio and clips of monsters, I let it play the audio or clips while I'm not doing anything important."

Ivy made sure to not say the gender of her AI as it would be very weird for her to say a feminine word than a neutral word.

"Ah, I see. Got any suggestions for me to know? I may know a lot but my research tends to get limited," Professor Leviathan chuckled as she rubbed the back of her head. She may be the Monster expert when it comes to their anatomy but she still always lacks the more extreme cases of monsters.

"Hm, I say the Book of Remnant is to start with then the History of the Two Brothers, there aren't any clips that I can remember clearly but there should be a video with a monster called the Leviathan," seeing Professor Leviathan's expression, Ivy quickly cleared the wording. "Not you, Leviathan, but a massive sea creature that roams around deep around."

Nodding, Professor Leviathan made sure that her AI jotted these books and the Leviathan clip. She smiled before she dismissed Ivy to her next class.

Sighing a relief, Ivy made quick leg work to reach up to Lilith and Rosalina who were waiting for her. Kind girls, they are. Lilith asked what Professor Leviathan wanted but Ivy simply shrugged it off and said it was nothing important.

The three girls headed off to their next class where they had to deal with someone new today. Or that what everyone says after they have their Sparing period.

Twenty-seven-year-old Ruby Crimson, a known figure in both military and royalty, was unfortunately captured by a band of thugs. Dragged into the remains of old Toyko alley, Ruby was threated by being sexually assaulted. Having luck still on her side, a strange person helped Ruby escape. Soon after their encounter, turns out the stranger was the most wanted thief throughout the Lumina Kingdom, Ivy. A twenty-one-year-old girl who doesn't remember anything but being experimented and emotionally unstable during her youth. However, what once was a deep hatred slowly turns into a deep feeling relationship right off the bat. Ivy being presented to the king, the man who sought Ivy's capture, was now given a new life, new opportunity, and a new chance to fail everyone.

"So… what do we do now?" Ashe asked as Arthur walked through the streets of Vale, not really caring where he was headed as after everything with Emerald he needed to think for a bit and not worry or think about the others.

"Depends, the next term is starting soon, and there shouldn't be much to worry about then as everything will start unravelling during the second semester" he began to explain, "My main problem will most definitely be Jacques, his butler, Cinder and Salem"

"Though, I think for now my biggest concern will be the butler and whoever Cinder sends to try and catch me"

"What about Torchwick and Neo? Think she'll send them? Or maybe Adam?" she suggested.

Taking a second to think Arthur replied, "I doubt she'd send Torchwick, he's a thief and a crook, not a kidnapper, or even strong enough to catch me, he's got the brains, so she might get him to try. Neo… she's a possibility, I don't know how her Illusions work or if Siri will even be able to see through them" he contemplated

"And Adam, he's a tricky one to predict, I don't think he would easily accept just trying to capture me, I'm not really a big figure, I may have a bit of fame but nothing that would get the White Fang to try anything to me"

"But he might still do it, because I do have a bit of fame, something like a warning, and if he learns where Blake is then the chances are much larger that he'll come out to do something, though he might still send people after me if he is tasked to do it"

"Out of all three, Neo is the most likely along with the White Fang, but there's also a possibility of there being someone else, someone I don't know, whose not in the story we know of"

Ashe sighed, "Well, we'll be back to Beacon in a few days, so we shouldn't need to worry about it too much, for now at least" she said as Arthur froze as he stepped around a corner, a feeling as if someone was watching him taking over.

Slowly looking around the relatively empty street Arthur couldn't see anyone who was staring so unceasingly at him and with such hostile intent, just as he shut his eyes to activate his soul seeing skill he felt a shiver run down his back as he quickly dodged to the side, coming just a hair breadth away from having a small dagger plunged into his back as it quickly lodged itself in the ground where he was standing.

Turning his head to see where it had come from Arthur, as he did the dagger pulled itself from the ground and flew towards the top of one of the buildings where he could see the figure of a person wearing a ninjas costume, one which had multiple stitches over the chest resembling claw marks.

"Is she…" Ashe muttered, remembering the one 'ninja' that Arthur had torn the clothing of, and who looked to be particularly angered by having her clothing torn. Ashe began to laugh, "Wow, you met her once when she tried to kidnap you and she's already following you around"

"Not now Ashe…" he said as he watched the girl jump towards one of the buildings behind her, disappearing into the rooftops of Vale, "Let's add her to the list of problems, I have a feeling we're gonna be seeing a lot of each other" he muttered to himself and shook his head, turning around he continued to walk down the street.

It wasn't long before another interesting event happened for the day, as he continued to walk, it wasn't him who noticed it, but Ashe, "Um, Arthur…" she muttered as she floated next to him, now making use of Siri's illusions to keep herself hidden so as to not attract any prying eyes.

"Isn't that her?" she said, getting him to turn where her pages were open to, which was towards a small ice-cream parlour, nothing fancy, it was clean and white with ice-cream shaped decorations on the wall, and that was about the most interesting thing about it.

But what attracted his gaze wasn't the cute little ice-cream cone mascot statue that was standing outside, but the girl who was currently in front of the elderly, shop keep who handed her a cone of ice-cream with three scoops on it, the all to famous vanilla, chocolate and strawberry ice-cream mixture that made up the neapolitan.

"She's actually eating a neapolitan… does that count as cannibalism?" Ashe asked, sounding curious if it actually did.

Arthur didn't respond, instead just watching as the half pink, half brown hair girl began to pat her pockets looking for her wallet or just some spare Lien, but coming up empty as she continued to search for some Lien, the shopkeeper quickly beginning to gain a frown at her continued searching as he kept hold of the ice-cream, making sure it was out of her reach.

Sighing Ashe said, "Just do it, maybe getting on her good side will be a good thing in the future"

"You do realize she could easily just make her own money with an illusion right?" he retorted.

"Yes, but the cute chibi ice-cream flavoured girl is 'struggling' to pay for her ice-cream, which is ironically the same flavour as her" and she really was 'chibi' standing nearly 40 centimetres smaller than Arthur.

"I don't even want to respond to that…" Arthur sighed, shaking his head at Ashe's choice of wording.

"What, I can't be the only one who wants to taste her" She thought aloud

"Stop using 'taste' when you talk about a living person, you sound like Hannibal" he chuckled.

"Ew, no, I don't like fava beans or chianti" she shivered in disgust, getting a snort from Arthur as she conveniently left out the liver part of the quote, Ashe giving him a wide smile and wink.

"Now hurry up and go pay for the ice-cream, and maybe get your own, make it cookies and cream, keep the colour scheme going, I will divorce you if you don't" she threatened.

"And how would you do that?" Arthur laughed, knowing full well that unless he died or agreed they were stuck together for awhile.

"I'll stop talking to you" she crossed her arms and nodded, not being believable at all.

"That a threat or a promise?" Arthur gave her a wink of his own, seeing that Neo was still looking for her money, while the ice-cream had been placed in a holder behind the glass pane to keep it chilled until she could find her wallet.

"Here, this should be enough right?" Arthur said placing a blue lien card on the counter, one for 50 lien, "I'll have a scoop of red velvet, cookies and cream and caramel" he said, "Now give the girl her ice-cream" he gave the old shop keep a small smile.

The shop keep as well as Neo gave him a small look, but the shop keep quickly took the lien card and handed the cone to Neo before getting the scoops Arthur asked for and handing it to him, taking it from the shop keep Arthur turned to Neo who was looking up at him with a small smile.

"Really should make sure you have some money before you try to buy something" he said to her as he tasted the strange mixture of caramel, cookies and cream and red velvet ice-cream, Neo response, or lack thereof was to just look at him with squinted eyes as she slowly took a lick from her own ice-cream.

And thus they engaged in a short duel as Arthur silently stared down at her while she stared up at him, their eyes locked in an intense game of no blinking, Arthur lost, he always looses, but he did get a chance to see what she looked like, even if it did dry his eyes out after a minute.

She was short as he already knew so short that she was shorter than Ruby, even in high-heels, her hair was long pink and brown hair one half pink the other brown, the pink having a few strands of white in it, really giving her that Neapolitan look. Her eyes were the same, one pink the other brown, the pink half having a few white streaks through it, which would swap colours whenever she blinked. 

She wore a white tail jacket, the jacket part ending at the top of her belly while the tail fell over her hips with a pink interior, the jacket also had a single button buttoned at the centre of her surprisingly large for her size chest, at around a large B, maybe C cup. Which was accentuated as the jacket opened up on to, really revealing the top part of her chest while still being modest enough that it wouldn't be considered revealing.

Under her jacket she also wore a brown corset which curved in the middle and bottom showing a small part of her hips, the part that curved down entering under her pants which were also brown and long which had her boots pulled over them, these being long, knee high, high-heel white boots with numerous buttons running down the sides of them and had a black tip.

Lastly she wore numerous black pearl necklasses worn haphazardly around her neck, loosly flowing over her bust and shoulders, and black gloves finished off her outfit.

Neo seeing Arthur blinking to wet his eyes silently laughed in victory as her expression loosened to become less suspicious of him, turning around she made her way towards a table in the parlour, lightly swinging her umbrella until she unceremoniously 'plopped' down onto the bench, nodding her head to the side as she locked eyes with Arthur saying he could sit by her.

Quickly taking the seat across from her Arthur noticed that her eyes never once separated from his, even as she continued to eat her ice-cream she kept her eyes locked on his, their colours swapping every time she blinked, which was an interesting site to say the least.

An idea formed in Arthur's mind as a smile formed on his face, as he looked into Neo's eyes he quickly blinked, willing his eyes to swap their colours and invert them, something he had never done before, well, with his own thoughts as it normally happened whenever he was in a bad mood.

Neo's eyes widened as a smirk formed on her face when she saw his eyes suddenly turn black after he blinked, taking this as a challenge she rapidly blinked two times, each time her eyes changing colour, Arthur doing the same, but instead blinking three times within a second changing their colours each time, it was actually surprisingly easy, but if he could see them himself he would notice they weren't fully black, instead becoming lightly speckled with black spots that seemed to fade away into the sclera creating small grey rings around the speckles.

They both continued this game of who could blink/change their eye colours fastest for nearly five minutes straight, once again ending in Arthur's loss as he gave up when she started turning her eyes red, purple, green blue and every other colour under the sun, and then some.

"Okay, you win, you win, I've only got that" he waved his hand in surrender, both their ice-creams having mostly disappeared leaving only a scoop of caramel for him and chocolate for her, Neo gave a small fist pump as he expression turned to one of victory.

Which quickly changed ass her scroll began to let out a small bell chime jingle, pulling it out she opened it up and saw she had gotten a message, quickly reading through it she closed her scroll and once again locked eyes with Arthur's, somehow conveying her thoughts without words.

"Gotta go?" he asked, Neo not responding or nodding as she continued looking into his eyes, "Well, before you go, want to tell me your name?" 

Neo smilled and swapped her eyes between white, brown a pink and the pointed to her ice-cream cone, "Ice-cream that is white, pink and brown, Neapolitan? Your names Neapolitan?" she locked eyes with him.

"Not Neapolitan?" she didn't respond, just blinked with a smirk on her face, "Neo? Neo Politan?" seeing he got the message she smiled and stood up, "Well, Neo, it was a pleasure meeting you"

Neo walked next to him, taking another lick from what was left of her ice-cream, as she passed him she quickly pushed her umbrella under his hand that held the ice-cream cone, pushing the cone into his nose, leaving a small part of it on the tip of his nose and a small, caramel coloured moustache.

"Oh you little-" he quickly turned to her, a false anger expression on his face that quickly turned to one of surprise as Neo leaned down, her eyes wide open as she quickly licked the ice-cream off his nose, leaving Arthur with his own eyes wide.

Giving him a wink Arthur saw her eye turn pure white with multiple black speckles in it, mimicing what she had seen from him, not even giving him enough time to say anything as her entire body shattered like glass, the shards fading into the air, leaving where Neo had been standing empty, as if she had never been there.

Behind him Arthur could hear the shop-keep say, "Where'd the Lien go?" while scratching the top of his head in confusion, he hadn't taken anything out, and yet it was all gone, and no one had robbed him yet.

"I'm really starting to feel like I've got some charm ability" Arthur muttered to himself as he wiped his caramel moustache off with his thumb and licked it off, tasting a little bit of chocolate and vanilla along with it, "I don't have like some hidden ability do I?" he asked her.

____________________________________________________  
"You look happy" Roman noted as Neo walked into the warehouse where their hideout was located, Neo locking her eyes with him, "Oh, you skim some schmuck?", she rolled her eyes, "Oh, tricked someone into getting you something" he realized as Neo also pulled out numerous lien cards from her pocket between her fingers, mostly blue and white cards.

"Good girl, always go for the register when they never expect it" he chuckled as Neo smirked, "I know its obvious…" he said, Neo's smirk persisting, "That was one time, long ago" he said trying to refute her silence.

"Fine, twice" he sighed as Neo pumped her fist, "Anyways, crazy in red wants us, or well you, to catch someone and bring them to her, apparently she can't do it herself" Roman said, moving the subject forward and dug under in his coat, pulling out a small piece of paper and throwing it towards her, it spinning with enough force that it remained in the air.

Neo easily catching it between two fingers, and flipping it over to see who she was to look for, "Arthur Fielder, 'The Angel of Vale'" Roman's coice mocking the title, "Hmm?" he said noticing Neo, continued silence as she stared at the photo, "You meet him before?" she looked up to him, "Oh, nice one, he's the one you skimmed off of, makes your job easier then"

I was about to give up sharing my experience, since… sometimes I really think that people don't care. And I felt it'd be pointless to reveal all your insides to the public, since it would seem as if I was a kind of exhibitionist violating the sight of the public. But out of responsibility I should finish my reflective journal for at least myself.

Anyway, it was a good date, I think. We eventually exchanged contacts under the mutual agreement of replying messages after seeing them and not ignoring them. It is indeed a phenomena I observed from most of the people today. I guess it is unavoidable since humans are avoidant by nature - when they see something beyond their perception, they would put up ignorance in response to it, especially when nothing would happen to them if no prompt action was taken in the first place. Once you slid your smartphone back into your pocket, the conversation seemingly never happened.

Anything happened in the chatroom, remains in the chatroom. 

So to ensure the commitment, the keen interest being there, we had the unwritten contract signed by words of mouth. It's childish but, who aren't childish in the world today? We lost interest to something quickly, we threw a tantrum when things did not go our way, we were more inclined to new stuffs we bought, we always thought that very good thing we had just gotten would be of eternity till the next came after. 

"So have you heard about the serial killing happening in the town? It was so bizarre that I hesitate dead seriously to go on a date sometimes…" 
"Hah, really? Well, you can't be that unlucky person if you are kind." 
"Hopefully… I heard the killer gets to people by using the lo- Oh?" 
His eyes rose towards the outside.

Tinkling…

Perhaps time lapsed so fast that we became a bunch of overgrown kids in the end, pretending as an adult. 
And we would always be supervised by something, somehow.

"Welcome, how may I help you… m…ma… madam?" The disoriented tone of the owner had distracted me from our conversation. And that was the moment I saw her, a sylphlike figure in a dark one-piece, her hands waving in her dark silk gloves, her eyes blinked expressively like two openings to the abyss underneath the feather hat of hers. She was literally a lady, a lass to be eyed upon. The owner sounded unsure when he was addressing her, but why? Her appearance was self-explanatory for someone to be called "madam". 

She took a glance at me, then hauled a smile, "Thank you but I'll help myself instead. Carry on with whatever you had been doing." The laces of her one-piece danced as she lifted her steps and waddled to the counter. The tangerine bits of the sunlight barely escaped through the gaps of her dress. She raised her hand at one seat by the window, the waitress seemed to have understood her gesture upon first glance as she ran into the kitchen with a note. She sat with her hands crossed afterwards, with her eyes wandering… at me?

"Hey… are you alright?" 
"Oh… I'm fine. I'm fine." 
Thanks to that dark gown lass, I almost forfeited my perfect conversation. 
"Heh." She smiled, with her fingers crossed lovingly, at me.

"Here's your Neapolitan and steak, half-done." The food had arrived and we were pretty famished apparently that we spent the next 20 minutes getting indulged with our very own gourmet's experience. We did not say a word. We just chewed our food, like a well-behaved child at the dining table. While I slurped my Neapolitan pasta my eyes could not get off her for some reason. The whole time she had her eyes fixed on our table, till the waitress served her a glass of plain water. She left the place afterwards. 

Psssss…
Huh?
"Did you see that guy just now?" 
He seemed very much interested by that majestic girl just now. 
I guess she looked attractive by standards today. Thought so, I nodded my head indifferently as I put the last piece of sausage into my mouth.
"He's kind of cute, don't you think?" 
"Not really. She's sort of a goth trying too hard." 
"She?" 
We all got quiet.
…
"Hahaha… I kind of dig it…" 
Embarrassed he was as he scratched his head, though something was felt amiss…
"She's pretty I must admit." 
Well I mustn't sound like a jealous sissy sulking for attention.
"Pretty?" 
He raised his brows in bewilderment. 
Did I say something wrong?
"Yeah… Her features were one-of-a-kind I supposed?" 
"Are we talking about the same person?" 
He asked for confirmation. 
"Okay, are you talking about the person who entered the cafe and told the cafe owner not to serve her?" 
I got to be specific and clear… we were in fact talking about the same person, weren't we?
"Yeah but that's a guy obviously. You might need to get a new pair of glasses." 
Concluded he with a tease.
"What do you mean that was a guy? She's wearing a dark one piece! With laces!" 
There was no way I could see it wrong! 
"He is wearing dark but it was a pair of dark trousers, with a dark coat too."
Huh?
He had been looking at me while facing the back to the girl, how could he be so sure?

"Oh…" halted my words, "Oh yeah… I had mistaken. So you were talking about *that* guy huh? Yes, he's cute in fact…" 
Okay, now, play dumb so the first impression would not be ruined. 
"But not cute as me!" Winked, I pulled my tongue out a bit. 
"If you think eating spaghetti like quantum singularity is cute, alright then." 
A premium tease from an knowledgeable man, it felt sweet as nectar from the heaven, like how most men enjoyed the process of teasing their other half, you know, a kind of guilty pleasure? 
"Silly cow." Sneered he. A kind of acceptance and recognition much more valuable than anything else in the world… 

I eventually could not follow conversation and bade him a premature farewell. With the girl haunting my mind, the fact that I identified a completely different gender than the others, they were disturbing. 

This is not a fantasy novel to begin with. We ain't seeing wizardry here.

I exited the cafe with a rumbling stomach. Neapolitan was rather a quick bite than a meal to me. I had no idea how the others survived with only grace of the food and not the portion of it. I went to a wet market nearby and found a Wanton noodle stall. "One Wanton noodle, extra large." The order escaped from my mouth naturally as I sat down. 
 
Phew… At least I had discovered another guy with impeccable compatibility.
Oh no… I forgot to ask more about his background…

We had been blabbering on how the new album for the singer would not work and we did not even do a formal introductions… I grabbed my head and tapped it few times. I withdrew my smartphone and spent the next 30 minutes clinging on it. We did exchange contact, which turned out to be the silver lining on my gloomy salad day. He should be calling… or at least messaging… Oh well…

<Hey, I forgot to ask for your name. Let me introduce myself, I'm…>
I typed my name demurely. To my relief, I received his reply immediately, since most people would run away after I did my introduction.

<So what do you work as? I'm sort of a freelancer.>
"So you are a bum?" Replied he, trying to be witty at his words.
<I am a professional bum, if you would insist.>
"Still, a bum." 
<Better than you, you're an expired bun.>
"It's better than a lazy, idiotic bum." 
Did his 5-year-old brother take over in the midst of our talk?
"Almost forgot, you're a lying bum too."
How am I a lying- 
"It was a guy and you said it's a girl. Bloody lies." 
I failed to reply on time as that line came rapidly.
<Well, lying or not, you still love me, don't you?>  
"No, your face looks like someone had driven a car over a pile of smelly dog poo." 
I seriously doubted if his 3-year-old brother snatched his phone and was replying this somewhere on his treehouse this time.

<Your face looks like a moon, the moon from Marjoram's Mask.>
"I don't get what a dog poo like you are saying. Play lesser games, it makes you retarded."
<Okay, fine, your face looks like it caught on fire and someone tried to put it out with a fork.>
"Your face looks like a poop-hole. With ulcerated hernias." 

I wasn't sure if forcing bombastic words in an argument would make the argument more sound and offensive.

<You looked like an Chestoguru, but without the ability Telepathy in a Twin Battle.>
"Don't make up words just because you ran out of them."
<It looks like someone is too lazy to even search up the words they don't know. Shame.>
"Well, obviously 'Chestoguru' isn't a term."
<Yeah, like your name isn't a term too yet no one said your parents had run out of words when naming you.>

I could almost hear him snapping. 

"Why are you replying then?"
<Because out of courtesy? A virtue that someone didn't have apparently? I guess sophistication only comes from overuse of pompous words and marginalized cultures of generalization.>
"Ok, you know what? The date was out of courtesy too. You know, when my eyes spotted that bubbly trash hanging over you, I was going to throw up because I had never seen such a flagrant big fatso in my entire life. Have you ever tried a mirror or the reflection of your piss whenever you attempted a conversation with somebody? I seriously was impressed by the fact that I could sit through that hour with you, while staying sane." 
It took me 3 minutes to read through.
My thumb nearly cracked the screen.
<Why don't you just stop replying?>
"I'll stop replying and you'll stop too."

That was it…

I melted on the plastic chair before the noodles that had gone cold, with the change by the side. I looked upon the sky, asking why the sky was always so high, as the weight of my smartphone which somehow increased itself by 50 times pulled my hand in pain. I gargled the soaked noodles in splats. Abandoned the change, I headed the home straight after. 

Listening to Die to Live and Springtime Sadness might be a little rare among the public, they are still overpopulated by blustering, peculiar kinds like us and we are proud of it, as if it is a form of universal law compulsory to greater humanity in the very beginning.

But that does not make us special in a way, especially one like me.

A marginalized of a marginalized community.
Not special, but deviant.

It's a collection of lovely fairytale, of hopes and dreams, butterflies and prince. 

A fantastic town of stories for both children and adults. 
;-)

Entertaining yet inspiring, has a lesson told in kindergarten style. 

Surely naive and cute.

Happily Ever After.

Mikhail cannot calm his racing heart. How could someone calm after hearing that but he is not a reckless person because he knows that haste makes a waste! He needs to make some preparation first if he wants to go hunting somewhere.


Mikhail then going home to prepare some item to go hunting and the wolf puppy followed him.


"That's right. I should give you a name first." Mikhail looking the wolf puppy and begin pondering.


"Since, you are a demonic wolf. Then your name will be Momon. That's a cool name right? Like some digital monster." Mikhail stared at Momon and smiled at it. Momon looks happy too and runs encircling him while barking.


When Mikhail arrived at his home, he immediately going to prepare for tomorrow's hunting. First, he needs a ranged weapon and decided to bring a grizzly gun. Second, of course, a compass is a must. The third is a complete map. Fourth is a headlight because it would be inconvenient to fight while holding a flashlight. Fifth is a body protector since he decided to fight and not to running away, as usual, it is a must to have some protection.


 At first, he wants to wear the armor like some western knight. He saw it on display window in some ownerless shop on the way home. But when he tried and wearing it, he can't even move his body anymore so how could he fight while using it. So he decided to wear the body protector in the end. 


If Mikhail must choose between forest and sewer. He much prefers sewer, because the vision in the forest is limited by bush and tree. It is easy to get lost and you could even be ambushed by origin beast. So the sixth, he must prepare a pair of boots.


The next evening at 03.30 PM, Mikhail stuffed Momon into his backpack and go to the sewer. Because at this time around, the giant werewolf usually has been finished hunting. 


Before entering the sewer Mikhail summon the shadow sword and change its form to a ring and wear it, then he holds his grizzly gun and turns on his headlight.


Mikhail knew that he should kill his opponent with shadow sword in order to level it up but if he is outnumbered and surrounded by several origin beasts then his life will cease to exist. It is better to play safe than sorry.


Mikhail entered the sewer carefully and observes his surroundings. The sewer is dark and humid but at least it is quite narrow so it would be hard if the opponent wants to surround him. Inside sewer there are actually many intersections if you don't have the map, you will easily get lost. 


"Sh*t… How could this compass be so strange?  It's not working at all. Thankfully I checked it before going inside too far or I already getting lost my way." Mikhail grumbled. He didn't turn at the intersection and only going forward all the way to avoid getting lost in the sewer.


Mikhail's face turned serious when he feeling some movement in front of him. Then he saw three rats as big as a Neapolitan mastiff coming at him with incredible speed.


BANG… BANG… BANG…

Mikhail aimed and shooting his grizzly gun to one of the rats but the bullet bouncing off like meet with some steel. 


"SHIT… HOW COULD THIS RAT'S SKIN IS HARD LIKE A STEEL???" Mikhail shouted and throws away his grizzly gun. It is already too late to run away and he won't be able to outrun the three rat's speed anyway. So the only choice right now is only to fight.


He quickly changes his shadow sword form to a spear. The spear extended and stabbed toward one of the rats killing it easily but the other two already swiftly approached Mikhail and jumped at him.

With his thought, the form of spear instantly changes again and another two spearheads coming out from its spear grip pierce the other two rats above his head and slay them too.


*TING*
Congratulation!!!
SHADOW SWORD Leveling Up to Level 2.


Mikhail is breathing hard right now. It is very close if he slower even 0.1 seconds he would be dead by now.


"So it is what it feels like, playing RPG in real life. Not bad… But it would be better if I have my HP bar above my head." Mikhail sighed and smiles wryly.

Mikhail is breaking up with his girlfriend.

Out of heartbreak, he brought all games and food in the store and swore to not coming out of his room until he finished all the games.

After one year, he finished all the games but after he coming out what he found the world is already on its end.

"Ahahaha, you must be kidding with me right? This must be a dream!"

Unfortunately no Mikhail this is not.

Follow Mikhail on his journey with his grimoire!

Xin and Odin arrive in the place where that thing appears, Xin can only see a black miasma in the air and start to eat all the light particles around the World Tree.

"This is not good, I can feel evil energy around here," Xin said.

"That's right, this is the energy of devils, that's why I come to the alliance to find the true source of this evil energy," Odin said while looking around.

"The first thing i thought is the Khaos Brigade did this to the World Tree, but eventually i stop because this is too powerful that even the late Mao can't create this kind of disaster"

"I also consult Adjuka if he knew any spell or curse in the underworld that can eat the World Tree's energy but even his self don't know any of it"

"And when I lose hope I see you, your energy is too powerful, it's immeasurable so I think you can take this thing out from the World Tree," Odin looks at Xin hoping that he can find a solution.

"Don't worry, I will try my best," Xin then erected a barrier around him and started to walk deeply inside.

Odin only wait for him in the same place hoping that Xin finds the cure for the World Tree if not, some world will crumble and a billion beings will die.

In the path the Xin walk, the atmosphere starts to change, the wooden road that he is currently walking is starting to erode leaving a green acid liquid.

Xin feel that he is starting to get near to the source of the problem and the energy he feels is starting to get familiar to him.

After a few minutes of walking and searching Xin arrives in a pool made from the liquified miasma.

And in the middle of the pool is the source of all of this problem.

A longsword consisting of a jagged blade with a hook at the tip. Inside the crossguard contains a round gem that stores, attached to the pommel of grip is a long skeletal lanyard that can enfold the user's arm for analysis.

Xin walk to take a look closely but the liquified miasma is coiling around his barrier trying to destroy and to prevent him from getting closer.

But it's useless, Xin already mastered making barriers and protective shields so this gooey looking liquified miasma will never erode his barrier.

When he arrives in front of the world Xin reaches to take it from him, this evil thing needs to be stored in his inventory forever.

Xin then heard a mechanical voice from the sword.

[ Magic King Element, Identified Failed ]

[ Activate 'Superbia' confirmed. Thema 'Imperium' confirmed ]

[ Analysis complete…. Error. Subject Magic King does not meet the Trinity requirements. ]

"Eh?" Xin confused at this sword.

[ Initiating Magic King berserk mode ]

Some vine-like things start to coil around Xin's arm and try to puncture it to connect itself to Xin.

But Xin's steel-like body, diamond-like bone is so strong that this evil looking sword can't puncture Xin's skin.

[ Berserk mode failed ]

The sword that Xin was holding escaped from his hand and then it transformed into a girl.

A young slender woman with a large bosom, dark skin, and long white hair, as well as short pointed ears.

She wears a white short one-piece dress that exposes her shoulders, back, and hips, opera gloves, and thigh boots with Neapolitan cuffs.

The girl look around and ask, "Where am I?"

"You're in the base root of the World Tree," Xin said while observing the girl

Xin look at the confused girl, he feel that she is much more innocent than him and naive too, Xin then scans him to see what she really is.

Hagrid spoke up in his usual large bellowing voice and said to me, "Come on now, have a seat while I finished up with these small little tasks." He finished with as he pulled back one of the chairs for the round wooden dining table, and then he patted the chair he pulled back, clearly gesturing for me to sit down on this one.

I nodded my head to him in a motion that conveying my thanks and approval, then I walked over to the table and sat down on the chair Hagrid pulled out for me. Hagrid went away and left me to my own devices as he did, with nothing to pass the time I started to smooth out the wrinkles that I noticed on my robe, but after a while at that, it started to become quite boring.  

I started to gaze around the place, but I have looked upon this place dozens of times already thanks to the consistent visits I make on the weekends to collect my magical ingredients from Hagrid. But with nothing else to occupy my attention except toodling with my fingers, I decided that there must be something new in the hut or that I just missed last time. 

I looked around in boredom, my eyes landed upon the small bundle Hagrid was carrying around with him when I first saw him, I must have forgotten all about it in my ill temper mood, I thought. Hagrid had placed the bundle on the round side table next to the dark brown leather chair, now that my mind was clear and turned away from the blood boil mood, I was now able to put 100% of my attention towards the bundle now and its mystery. 

Hagrid went on to through the archway and into the next section of the hut, seeing that the coast is clear now. I got up from my chair and started to walk towards this mysterious bundle, so that I could have a closer look at it, since I have this nagging feeling in the back of my mind that I should know who or what, for that matter, is in that heap of blankets. And it does sort of look very familiar to me, now that I have had a closer look at for the second time up close and personal.  

Just as I was standing right over the bundle on top of the round side table, I reached out my arm to pull over the sheets covering my mystery, I hear a loud bark. Must be from Fang I presumed to myself, as that thought flashed through my mind and left as quickly as it had come. Taking absolutely no head of the bark Fang let loose, which I later learn was a warning, I continued on head long with my goal, trying to figure out and solve this enigma that is no seriously plaguing my mind. 

My hand was outstretched and in reach of the bundle, I was nearly about to unroll the blankets and be in full sight of whatever was hidden for me, then I heard Fang once again and I paused. Because this time, he sounded very menacing, instead of the bark that he made, this time he let loose a low threatening growl that sounded like "Grr!" Not the type of sound you want to hear at all from a creature that has a complete set of gleaming, sharp, rows of teeth and some drool falling to the ground. 

I stepped back once unconsciously and looked over at the dog, up and down, not once or twice but three times. What is wrong with this little mug today, I mused to myself, I am 100% sure that this little pup is nothing more than a big old coward, but today it is like somebody instilled into him a great big dosage of courage and gut. Curse that person, I reflected in my head, they are giving me nothing but trouble!

I thought about testing and trying out the dog's patience and its will to commit to whatever goal it has set out for itself, but I am not a fool at all, and I am not going to put myself in danger when I do not know the full story. 

I looked at the dog once more, and swear to get back for the insolence, but first I have to ask Hagrid what is going on with his dog today. And while I am at, it might be much more easier if I just went up to and asked Hagrid who or what is underneath all those blankets, on the round table.

The young wizard with the golden blonde hair, walked back slowly from the round table with the bundle laid, all the while keeping a careful eye out, on the accursed black dog. The young wizard walked all the back to the chair Hagrid had pulled out for and sat down while never taking an off the Neapolitan Mastiff, and waited for Hagrid to come back. 

The dog nodded its head to itself when it saw that I backed down, it too sat down, upon all four paws, and I swear I think I saw the black dog shake its head to itself smugly when I sat on my chair. Before I could act upon this rudeness that I just witnessed, Hagrid had come back from completing his chores in the side hut.  

It seems like it did not take long for Hagrid to be done with the other section of the hut, since it only took as long as our confrontation had taken to a come to a close. Hagrid walked into the main hut from the side hut and looked at me and his dog with his eyebrow raised in surprise and confusion, since you could feel the discord on the tip of your fingers in the room, between the dog and me.
