Hey guys! It's me, Lavender. The author and maker of "A Love Like, Crimson Roses!" ^_^

   Now, I know this may come as a shock but we are going to have such a blast. For those who looks for a forbidden romance, a love to good to be true, the feels of trust and betrayal.. Well, this is the story for you. This story you can say is like, a very proud piece of mines. And don't worry for those who might get confused along the way, everything will start pulling together as you go throughout the story. 

   However, this start is a little bit different from the novels your usually use to reading all day. This story is a "POV" meaning (point of view.) It could only mean, it will come from the views of the characters involved in this book. Every character in this book specks to there own personality. Each one, is unique and proud in their own way. However, the love never stops running. 

   I'm nothing more but a Brooklyn girl from New York. But I had my fair share of experience in life despite my age- which is only 21 by the way lol. I only hope for your love and support ^_^! 

   And if your looking for more stories done by me truly. You can check me out @Miaruki on Wattpad and Webnovel @LavenderKydd. Plus on a interactive story app game called Chapters where one of my works called "Dare to Dream" is located.

And with everything I love and enjoy. ENJOY!!❤️❤️💋

Fiona and Ajar, two people from unlikely worlds. However, a connection they share brings them together, and they are set out to figure out the truth. They go on a journey of heartbreak, love, betrayal, and friendships. They aren’t made for each other. At least that’s what they thought. Hell has bought them together and refuses to trade them in for something different. What will they do, if they being together could be the end of the world? What will have to give and what will have to be sacrificed?

I woke up on the bed, tucked into the blankets. The pack doctor was no where in sight. Nor was the alpha. Did he ever return home?

I looked over to the window and seen that the sun had gone down. What time is it? I look over at the nightstand and seen a clock. 12:40 am. It's late and he hasn't returned?! He at least didn't return to the room....I think. I sighed. Maybe I should go see if he's somewhere in the house. 

I got up out of bed and walked down the long hallway that led to a flight of stares. Quietly, I walked down the stairs, not wanting to wake anyone up. 

Once I got to the bottom step, I sighed and continued my way around searching for my mate. While roaming around the dark house, I seen a light up ahead of the never heading hallway. When I got to the room where the light was coming from, I seen that it was the kitchen. 

Inside the kitchen, sat a person. He wasn't Lucius but from what I'm guessing is that it's his beta. 

"I know you're there," he said. 

I looked up to see him staring at me over the book he was reading. 

"You can come in. I'm not going to bite," he said before sighing. 

I walked closer to him, but kept my distance. 

"I'm Iris," I said to him. 

"Maxwell," he said. 

"What are you reading?" I asked. 

"Huh? Oh. It's something my grandmother gave me. It was her book of the ancient legends and myths of every creature that lived on earth. She used to read me them to bed every night since I was a baby before she passed," Maxwell said closing the book.

I looked at him closely. There was a faint scar that went down his nose and lip. 

"Where did you get that scar?" I asked him out of curiosity. 

"What scar?" he asked me confused. 

"The one on your face," I said. 

"Oh, this one. About 2 weeks ago, the pack stumbled across a werecat. She clawed my snout while I was in wolf form. This is the result of it," Maxwell told me. 

Holy shit. I clawed the beta. I'm going to be in some deep sh*t. 

"I'm sorry," I mumbled. 

"Sorry for what? You didn't do anything," he said. 

"Yes I did Maxwell. I'm the werecat that clawed you," I told him. 

"Oh.... Well, it's okay. You were defending yourself," he said grinning. 

We talked to each other more. I soon had sat next to him. Apparently, him and Lucius were trouble makers when they were pups. I thought it was funny because from the little time I got to know Lucius, if you want to even count it as getting to know him, I didn't see him as a trouble maker. Now Maxwell, I can see him like that. He has that childish personality that suits him.

"So, have you found your mate?" I asked Maxwell. 

"No. Have you?" he replied. 

"Yeah. Lucius is my mate. But I don't know where he disappeared to," I said laying my head against my hand. 

"Your Lucius's mate?! I'm sorry Luna. I should have known. I'll mind-link Lucius for you," he said getting all professional. 

"Thanks Maxwell. But please call me by my name. And you don't have to be all professional around me either. Just be your natural self," I said to him. 

"Your welcome. And okay," he says before mind-linking Lucius.

"Iris, he should be here soon," Maxwell told me after mind-linking the alpha. 

I nodded in response and looked through the book. I wasn't searching for anything particular. Just a story that my mom used to tell me. After searching through half the book, I eventually found it and tapped a sleeping Maxwell on the shoulder. 

"What you got there?" he said half asleep. 

"Just a story my mom used to tell me," I said showing it to him. 

"Ahh. The story of how the first werecat clan was made. It was one of my favorites as a child.", Maxwell said. 

"Mine too. Do you mind reading it to me?" I said to him. 

"Sure," he said.

Maxwell read the story to me. I sat there engrossed and memorized in it. It kind of felt like when I was younger. By the end of the story, I was in tears. It was a sad story, but a famous one as well. 

I thanked Maxwell for reading me the story. That's when the alpha made his presence known. 

"Alpha," Maxwell said to him. 

"Maxwell," he said acknowledging him. 

"I'll go make myself scarce. Iris, whenever you want to hear another story, you can find me in the library," Maxwell said. 

"Okay," I replied. 

Maxwell quickly left me with Lucius in the kitchen. 

"What time is it?" I asked Lucius, not seeing a clock anywhere in here. 

"3:30 am. Why?" Lucius said. I tried to calm myself before talking to him, but that didn't work out as planned. 

"Where the hell were you?!? I looked for you before sitting here with your beta. I was worried. You weren't here when I woke up," I exclaimed. 

Lucius sighed. 

"We need to talk, It's about what happened a decade ago," he said dodging my question. 

"Then will you tell me where you went?" I asked. 

"Yes I will," he said tiredly. 

"You better," I said in a very pissed off tone.

Iris Lace is the last of her kind. She's been on the move for a while now. Then she meets him. Her mate. Lucius Lyons. 
     Lucius Lyons is the alpha of the Filtrian Pack. He's one of the most intimidating and scariest alphas in all of history. Piss him off and he won't show you any mercy.
     But what will happen when Iris crosses onto Lucius's path? How would Lucius feel about being mated to a werecat? Iris?

What was my ■■? I knew that the Mass Production Maker would ask that question. "Are you curious?"

[Is there anyone here who isn't curious?]

The Mass Production Maker laughed lightly and several constellations coughed. The atmosphere grew unusual and the other party members who weren't aware of the situation started to pay attention to me.

"Why is everyone suddenly...?"

"Shhh."

Lee Hyunsung tried to intrude only to be stopped by Jung Heewon.

I slowly looked around at all the people in the room. All of a sudden, everyone in the hall was watching me.

■■...

There were various names for it in Ways of Survival. For example, the Dokkaebi King said:

「 The end of every story and the beginning. 」

However, this was what Yoo Jonghyuk had to say:

「 The damn Star Stream. 」

Lee Hyunsung would describe it as the 'whole region' while Yoo Sangah might say 'old design.' It would be 'graduation' for Lee Jihye. Surprisingly, all these interpretations of ■■ weren't wrong.

The Mass Production Maker asked, [All those who have earned the qualification of the end have received a different name of the 'end.' Do you know?]

"It is natural since all your stories are different."

In the first place, there wasn't a proper noun capable of communicating ■■ in the proper sense. The fact that the filtering was resolved meant that I could 'read' it. Perhaps the constellations who received a hidden scenario like me were probably in a similar position.

+

[Hidden scenario - 'A Single Story']

Category: Hidden

Difficulty: ???

Clear Condition: Complete one story to reach ■■.

Time Limit: ―

Compensation: ???

Failure: ???

* Currently, you have completed the 'initial' portion.

* See the additional scenario description for details.

+

The hidden scenario 'A Single Story'. This scenario was given to all those who obtained the qualification of the end. In the galaxy of the distant Star Stream, we went through numerous stories and completed a single 'perfect' story.

The legendary stories, the mythical stories and even the giant story that I got were just a journey towards the 'single story.' The Mass Production Maker in front of me and Persephone over there would've received this scenario. Of course, the place where they finally arrived was different from me.

[Baat!]

Biyoo blocked the channel of the hall before I even directed her. Perhaps Biyoo instinctively realized that the story to be told from now on was important. The protests of the constellations flowed through the air and the Mass Production Maker spoke in a heavy tone.

[My ■■ is 'dried up'.]

I was a bit surprised because I didn't think he would reveal his hand so easily. Then the dancing Persephone also spoke. [I am 'death.']

Dried up and death. Both were words that could symbolize the 'end' of something. It was a paradoxical end for the Mass Production Maker who liked to make something and for Persephone who governed the world of the dead.

Now that they revealed their cards, I had nowhere to retreat. "Everybody, please swear by your modifiers. You will never speak of what you heard here."

The constellations glanced at each other.

[Of course...]

[Hum, what is this? Why would we go somewhere and say it...]

[How great is your ■■ that you are feeling such pressure?]

I didn't answer immediately and just smiled. Then a ripple started among the constellations.

[Don't tell me?]

The thoughts in the constellations' heads seemed to be visible. I looked at their expressions and thought.

Yes, think about it. Be worried and suspicious. That way I would get the picture I desired.

As the agitation of the drunk constellations reached the peak, I slowly opened my mouth.

***

Han Sooyoung walked down the street. They were the ruins of Seoul. There were no survivors on the streets and she was walking alone. All types of delusions passed through her head.

Why was she here now? She had obviously been fighting with the constellations using the black dragon. No, rather, Seoul had been closed off. Why...

-Black dragon?

The Abyssal Black Flame Dragon didn't answer.

-Hey, is anybody there?

Han Sooyoung wandered between the ruined buildings and shouted. The corpses of monsters hung between the familiar buildings of Gwanghwamun. Han Sooyoung shuddered every time she passed between nasty smelling corpses. Every one of them was a monster she couldn't face right now. How? What happened?

There was no one to answer her questions. No, she thought it would be better not to have answers, even if someone was here. If there was a living being here, they would be the terrifying monster who killed these monsters.

If this was a dream, please wake up...

Then a shadow of a person could be seen in the distance. It was a familiar humanoid form dressed in a white coat. Her heart was full of complicated emotions.

-Kim Dokja!

The moment the person looked back. There was the sound of flesh being pierced and a knife suddenly burst out of the coat. The white coat was dyed red.

Han Sooyoung screamed as she woke up from her sleep.

"Haack, haack..."

She blinked a few times and her sense of reality slowly returned.

"What...?"

She couldn't help talking to herself. Her back was wet with sweat.

[The constellation 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon'  is satisfied with your soliloquy.]

[The constellation 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon' believes that you have now truly become his successor...]

"Shut up."

The black dragon was speaking bullshit so this seemed to be reality. Han Sooyoung placed a hand against her temple. Why was that person in her dream?

Han Sooyoung would've usually passed over the dream but it was a world where superstition became reality. Thus, this dream couldn't be overlooked. Shortly afterwards, she noticed the bandage around her arm.

"God dammit. It hasn't been solved yet."

"Don't loosen it. You are still wounded."

She looked back with astonishment and saw a woman standing there.

"...Kim Dokja's mother?"

"You are the only one who still calls me that." Lee Sookyung wiped Han Sooyoung's back and forehead with a towel.

Han Sooyoung asked, "Why didn't you go to the Demon World?"

"What type of face would I have to go there?"

"Kim Dokja would've liked it."

"He would've liked it more if you went."

"...You don't know your son very well."

Han Sooyoung stuck out her small lips. Lee Sookyung laughed lightly and replaced the wet pillow with a new one. Han Sooyoung sniffed the new pillow and said,

"It seems to be resolved well."

"What are you talking about?"

"Kim Dokja's big disaster."

Seeing the black dragon's ecstatic state, things on the Demon World side seemed well. The damage on the Korean Peninsula wasn't greater than expected. There was a blow to the area but the citizens were safely evacuated...

The dream troubled her but a dream was just a dream...

"It isn't over."

"...Eh?"

Lee Sookyung brought over a plate without speaking and pointed to the Good or Bad Luck, Disaster or Happiness Fortune floating on it. Han Sooyoung read the characters rising to the surface of the water. She couldn't believe it. Thus, she asked Lee Sookyung to repeat the divination many times. They were all the same. Han Sooyoung looked down at the arm wrapped with a bandage and declared, "Please contact Kim Dokja."

The night after the party ended, I sat alone in the office. Normally, it would be a good time to read Ways of Survival while relaxing with a cup of hot chocolate. However, I couldn't afford it now.

I was staring at a huge debris lying on the table. It was a pierce that came off from the last car that Surya and I fought in. I closed my eyes and tried to reconstruct my memories of the time.

Surya's train was much shorter than the mythical train. In addition, the last car had a hole in the back. It was as if part of the train had been ripped off.

In other words, that space wasn't the original last car. I opened my eyes and examined the wounds on the debris fragment again. There was something powerful enough to pull off part of Surya's train that my party members and teachers barely broke.

...It was also 'that.'

Knock knock knock.

I looked up at the sound of knocking and saw Yoo Sangah watching me from the door. "I'm sorry Dokja-ssi. Am I disturbing you?"

"No. I called you."

I urgently arranged the table and greeted Yoo Sangah. Yoo Sangah looked around with a slightly shaky expression and then sat carefully on the other side of the table where I was sitting.

"Would you like some tea?"

"Nope. It's fine."

"Then do you want water...?"

"Okay."

We silently faced each other across the small table. I called her but I couldn't easily bring up the topic. Yoo Sangah must have many questions for me as well. I told her, "Just ask."

"In fact, I've been thinking about Dokja-ssi for quite some time." Her tone sounded like she had been waiting. "Why do you know the future that others don't know? How could you be so calm in such situations and always find answers that others haven't thought of?"

"Then did you find out something?"

"I seem to know some things while others don't feel right."

Perhaps Yoo Sangah had been studying me. Just as she studied Spanish with the app, Yoo Sangah would've studied people. As always, she reached meaningful results before anyone else.

"To Dokja-ssi, is this world like a novel?"

"Why do you think that?"

"It is because of what you said at the party."

...As expected from Yoo Sangah. Really, that was the only thing I could say.

-I'm heading towards the final chapter.

That was my answer to what ■■ I received. The final chapter. The end of every book that needed to be reached by turning over the pages.

Yoo Sangah continued speaking, "The constellations were greatly surprised. There were some who were amazed and some who were shocked."

The constellations had to feel surprised. It was a statement I gave with such intentions.

"After Dokja-ssi left, I asked the queen of the underworld. Why are you so surprised?"

"What did she say?"

"She said Dokja-ssi is very special." Yoo Sangah moistened her lips with the water and continued, "I heard that every being is given a different form of ■■. In addition, most of them are very personal words. There are numerous ■■ in the world but I heard that words that imply the 'end' are extremely rare."

Anyone who heard it would understand it meant an obvious 'end.' It was a word that had excellent versatility for all beings.

"In addition, all beings who received such a clear 'end' were great constellations like Olympus, Vedas and Papyrus... the top deities of the massive nebulae.'

"..."

Now... Dokja-ssi has become one of them."

Yoo Sangah was staring at me with complicated eyes. Her trembling eyes held feelings that she herself couldn't measure.

I replied, "It is a good thing."

"...It is good?"

"Now I can finally try something." I smiled. However, Yoo Sangah didn't smile back.

"After the destruction of the world, I thought Dokja-ssi was happier. You laughed more often than before and seemed more vigorous... thus, you looked good. By the way..." Yoo Sangah bowed her head. "Dokja-ssi, why do you think this world is fiction?"

Yoo Sangah didn't know me. What was 'fiction' to me? What did this world mean to me? I couldn't explain or describe it.

"Ah, I'm sorry Dokja-ssi.  I was presumptuous..."

Nevetheless, the only person who could tell me such things was Yoo Sangah. She was a person who noticed things that nobody cared about.

[The exclusive skill 'Character List' is activated!]

She was the first colleague I met. Maybe it was before this world began.

[The person's information can't be accessed through Character List.]

There was an unexpected sense of relief from the rising message.

[Currently collecting information about the corresponding figure.]

When I first used Character List on Yoo Sangah, I had been very anxious because I couldn't read her information. Why was it now the opposite?

I sighed lightly and looked out the window. It was a clear sky. This was a world where nothing had happened yet.

"Yoo Sangah-ssi, I'd like to ask you to do something."

Thus, now was the only time to prepare.

Today I woke up at 6 o'clock in the morning. Soooo early!!I didn't want to but my stupid brother was making a lot of noise so I had to.I thought to myself that that idiot will never ever let me sleep in peace.

Being 18 he is not at all mature. Playing around everywhere and most of all troubling me.He didn't get much scolding and he was always excused because he was good like too good in his studies. His grades were always top class.


He was totally different from me.
Physically the only similarity we had was that our hair was dark brown. Other than that we were totally the opposite.He  always had girls running after him calling out his name"Rion,Rion and Rion".But he will always remain my DUMBSTY,my cutepie.
Though he was annoying all the time but I would always love him.He was my friend and was  always there for me,to protect me whenever I needed him to.

Oh I forgot to give my introduction.

like eating, cooking, watching TV and on the top of all sleep. It's one of the most important things.

I am a dog lover but my mom didn't let me have one. Even after a lot of requests and protests from my brother and I . Anyway, she was firm and didn't let us have one. I am short-tempered and I fight back for my rights . I am a brave, confident and courageous. Well too much praising myself, moving on to my lovely family.

My family was a very happy family it still is but father lost his job did impact us a lot. Everything started to change suddenly. We started having  financial problems. And me leaving my job was not a good option at all and acted just like a cherry on top for our problems.

To know further in this story you know what you have to do. ;)

After Song Tian's trip to planet L-25 with Su Wen, not only Song Tian surprised with the Plant A-1, he's also shocked to hear Su Wen already reached level 5.

Song Tian asked what feature did she got from it, and Su Wen told him a lot.

Su Wen unlocked ability from hidden stats, which is called [Chef's Vision].

With that ability, she can recognize any ingredients, their nutrients, and their compatibilities with other ingredients.

Unfortunately, Su Wen can't detect it when it's only on the seed form because her level isn't high enough.

In his living room on Earth, Song Tian looked at the quest scroll. "Didn't expect this would end up in the main quest," he muttered.

- Tenth Main Quest: Crafting Part 1.

- Requirement: Craft 10 items from the Book of Basic Crafting for Farm Volume 2 (0/10).

- Rewards: ???

Meanwhile, at the worker's gazebo, Elisa Delgado just arrived. "Where's Song Tian?" she asked.

Mamat locked the phone screen. "Boss is at the backyard, he told us not to disturb him for the time being," he answered.

Mamat looked at Elisa Delgado, "Hey, did you already get her number?" he grinned.

Elisa Delgado sighed as she took her phone, and send Mamat contact info.

Elisa Delgado spoke, "Remember, don't contact her too much. She's busy at the office," she said as she put her phone back to her pocket.

Ever since Mamat drove her to the office in Central Milverion several days ago, he has been asking about the beautiful receptionist ever since.

Elisa Delgado spoke, "Just let me remind you, that girl has a past with your boss. I don't even know if you can handle her," she said.

Mamat surprised, "What? Is she my boss's ex?" he couldn't help but ask.

Elisa Delgado shook her head, "Nah. She used to be Song Tian's underling one year ago," she said.

Mamat laughed, "So what? I'm also his worker. I'm in the same boat with her," he said as he leaned his back on the couch.

Elisa Delgado shook her head, "It's different. You have no idea who's your boss, don't you?" she said as she started to tell Mamat about Song Tian.

Ever since Elisa Delgado worked under Song Chen and Zhu Mei directly, the 'insider' information about Song Tian isn't a secret amongst workers.

Some workers told her that Song Tian had been known as a trouble maker ever since in elementary school.

In his last year of middle school, Song Tian and his friends took over all the schools, including the high school on all over Milverion.

Unsatisfied with just taking over the school, when he's in high school, Song Tian and his friends decided to enter the 'underground' to quench his thirst.

Song Tian's parents are really against it, and Song Tian grounded by his father.

Several days later, thinking he's successfully sneaking out of his home, Song Tian went to find his friends.

Rampaging the 'underground' for a while, Song Tian's group became widely known.

All seniors in that 'world' really want to teach Song Tian a lesson, but they're afraid to offend his terrifying background.

Song Family, the one who held the highest authority in the Archaine, and Zhu Family, the one who's known for their endless wealth are the families no one dares to offend.

So all seniors only sent their young generations to face Song Tian, expecting they would teach Song Tian a lesson.

But all of them failed, which makes all seniors in the 'underground' felt helpless about it. Even their younger generations went to follow Song Tian afterward.

Song Tian and his group managed to take a lot of territories. 

Under Song Tian's reign, a lot of senior figures choose to turn blind eyes. Not until he decided to take some territories from them a month later.

Even with seniors involved, they can't stop Song Tian's reign. There's also a rumor that Song Tian's elder sister is also involved, secretly protecting her little brother behind the scene.

And there are also events when Song Tian killed criminals and his redemption with Wang Hai and Yoshida Kenji in the army.

Elisa Delgado's point in telling Mamat about it is to let him knows that the receptionist girl isn't a simple one.

At that point, Mamat furrowed his brows, "Army? But he's still underage, right?" he couldn't help but ask.

Elisa Delgado nodded, "That's right. With his family's power, do you think they can't bypass that?" she replied.

Mamat replied, "What about his school?" he asked.

Elisa Delgado replied, "He still attends it. Of course, with a lot of absent," she said.

Mamat sighed, "Darn, I hear he's in a gang, didn't expect it's that kind of gang." He pours a coffee into the glass, "What's his story when he's enlisted?" he asked.

Elisa Delgado shook her head, "All I know is Song Tian managed to join Archaine Special Force with his friends," she answered.

"There's also a rumor Song Tian exterminated some huge criminals group overseas with his group. Just ask him yourself." Elisa Delgado also pours a coffee in the glass.

Mamat looked at Giga, who's been playing a card game with Sindria, and Matsuno's twin. "Hey, can you believe our cheerful boss killed someone already?" he said.

Giga chuckled, "I've known about it ever since I met him," he answered.

"Wait until you reach the cultivation stage, and you'll start to see his murderous aura."

Mamat shrugged as he's still stuck at the middle stage of martial art.

In the backyard, a lot of crafted items could be seen lying around behind Song Tian.

Song Tian crafted nine items already, but the last tenth item in front of him requires a queen bee for the thing to function correctly.

The item in front of him is called Bee Colonizer. It has the same appearance as a standard wooden beehive with the top part of it has a gable roof.

It has the function to colonize a bee, to become a honey producer or pollinator.

Song Tian asked, "Xiao Yi, why is it only requires a queen bee? What about drones? How will she mate with them if there's no drone?" he said.

Song Yi answered, "There are a built-in filter and amplifier in Bee Colonizer," she said.

"Once the queen bee inside, she will release a pheromone to attract drones from far away with the built-in amplifier."

"The filter will filter the pheromones and selectively choose the best drones outside."

"So, only the best of the best will be attracted to the queen bee inside."

Song Tian asked, "So this item won't be counted before I got the queen bee?" he said.

Song Yi answered, "Yes, you have to get the queen bee first," she said.

Song Tian pondered, "I will do it later. I need to complete the quest first with another item," he said as he started to craft an easy item from the book.

Several minutes later, Song Tian successfully crafted the last thing to complete the task.

After being congratulated, Song Tian looked at the scroll in front of him.

- Tenth Main Quest: Crafting Part 1.

- Rewards: Crafted Items Storage, Book of Barbarian Farming Technique, and new items available at my shop.

Looking at the second reward, Song Tian gasped, "Barbarian farming technique? Xiao Yi, is this the method your father use before?" he exclaimed.

Song Yi answered, "Yeah, you can plant and harvest a whole field in size of a planet if you can master it," she said.

Song Yi continued, "You can also do others stuff with that technique," she said.

Song Tian asked, "If I can plant a field at that size, how do I water it? Is there also a watering method in there?" he said.

Song Yi answered, "No, you have to use your law of creation for that matter. You have to be at least have 10% mastery to pull that off," she said.

Song Tian forced a smile. He claimed his rewards but decided to check it later. He started to take a side quest.

After completing the tenth main quest, his EXP is increased to (2250/5000).

Song Tian just graduated from high school, and his dream is to become a farmer.

Thanks for reading :D

Sihwa had only seen [Watermelon] once in the live broadcast room, but she hated his domineering look a lot. It was one thing to come into the live broadcast room and only look around without giving any gifts, but what right did he have to act as if he was a lifelong mentor and point fingers at her? She felt like her unlucky streak had begun as soon as she met the person with that ID. From then on, practically nothing went well!
When she saw the ID again, she wanted to pull him out from the screen to give him a beating, then strip him of his clothes and throw him in front of the shop to show the public… However, the anonymity of the Internet made it impossible for her to do that, so she could only glare at the screen angrily.
"The host's angry look is so pretty! I feel like I need to change to a 4K monitor to make it more convenient to lick the screen!"
"Tut-tut! Every expression can be used as a wallpaper…"
[This Old Man Is Unrestrained]: "Continue! Don't stop!" *gave a hairy crab and left a message.*
Sihwa originally wanted to continue being angry––to use her glare to make [Watermelon] scared––but when she saw someone sending presents, she instantly smiled brightly.
There were also people asking her what city she was in; they could not tell from her accent, as she spoke perfect Mandarin but had the occasional weird Korean words.
She still remembered the instructions that Zhang Zian gave: she should not expose what city she was in––and even more importantly, she should not expose her specific location. Otherwise, if the Live Broadcast Platform found out, they might close her account. She did not mind that, but the problem was that, after her account was closed, the money other people gave her could no longer be retrieved.
Sihwa did not really understand why people were willing to listen to her read out fairy tales, but the reason was simple: listening to a broadcaster read fairy tales and listening to a broadcaster sing were not that all that different. In essence, the viewers still looked at the face of the host and listened to their voice. It helped, too, if the host knew how to act cute. Although she did not know how to act cute, her face and her voice were at the level that would crush any competition.
She took up a fairy tale book and cleared her throat. "What kind of fairy tale do you all want to hear?"
"I only want to hear the host speak more. Anything is fine."
"To be honest, I want to hear a horror story. I'm currently at a rest stop on the highway, so I desperately need to lift my spirits up…"
"How about The Seven Heroes and Five Gallants?"
"I want to hear **Pure… F*ck! Why is ** censored?"
For a short time, the audience's opinion was divided, but out of what the audience suggested, practically none were fairy tales––or at least none were the fairy tales she had heard of before.
[Watermelon]: "Anchor, aren't you cosplaying a mermaid? Then just read The Little Mermaid."
Sihwa did not want to acknowledge [Watermelon]. She planned on scolding him as soon as she finished broadcasting, but quite a lot of the audience supported his suggestion.
"The Little Mermaid? What book is it in?" Sihwa flipped to the contents page of the fairy tale book she was holding, but could not find that name. After all, the book she was holding was a compilation of Grimm's Fairy Tales.
[killme]: "Is the anchor acting cute? Although I have never read the story before, at least I know to find it in Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales."
[Split Second of Darkness]: "This fairy tale is quite famous, but I haven't read it before, either. I only saw the animated version by Disney, and I found it quite average."
[The Grim Reaper Is Here]: "Actually, the story itself is quite average. It's just a story about a prince and a princess, but the tragic ending is quite different from normal fairy tales."
[Sour Pineapple]: "Times have changed. Now it's no longer the prince and princess that's popular; what's popular is an overbearing CEO and a Mary Sue."
[Dragon Knight Yin Zhiping]: "I don't like Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales. All the fairy tales he writes are tragedies, like The Little Match Girl and The Little Mermaid. Why are books that are written for children written as tragedies?"
[Two Dogs]: "What the f*ck! The one who sent the bullet screen––you have the guts to say that? I saw the picture of you riding the dragon and I really wanted to tear the book at that moment!"
[Dragon Knight Yin Zhiping]: "Comical emoji!"
[Watermelon]: "Actually The Little Mermaid isn't considered a tragedy, right? I remembered that Andersen left this fairy tale open ended… He hinted that the mermaid had risen to the elfin world, which is much better than staying in the human realm with the prince and the greasy and crooked woman giving birth to a whole bunch of naughty kids, right?"
[Wind Maker]: "Haha, naughty kids must die!"
Sihwa noticed that particular bullet screen, even though it came from the ID she hated the most.
"Elfin world?" She became interested, and opened her mouth to ask, "What's with the elfin world?"
Most of the people in the live broadcast room were men, and even if they had read the fairy tale before, it did not leave a deep impression. For women, even if they had read it before, they were often more concerned with the mermaid's sad ending; they generally did not notice the 'elfin world.'
No one could answer her question, and the only person who seemed like they could answer, [Watermelon], became silent.
Horrible!
Sihwa had no other choice. She found Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales, then found The Little Mermaid from the contents page. She flipped to the corresponding page.
"It's so long! And there are so many words I don't recognize!" She quickly skimmed through it. As if she felt discouraged, she wrinkled her brow; reading that fairy tale was going to be a really big challenge.
Of course, when she wrinkled her brow, many fans took a screenshot to remember the moment.
However, [Watermelon]'s words made her very interested, and she wanted to know what the 'elfin world' was. She saw that the audience's bullet screen mentioned that The Little Mermaid was a tale regarding a mermaid, which made her care about it even more. She did not see the ending of the Korean drama with the mermaid, but at least the fairy tale definitely had an ending, right?
"All right, then I'll start reading…" She cleared her throat once again, then began to read the story out. She talked slowly, as she stumbled over many words as she read. "In the faraway sea, the water was very blue, just like the most beautiful corn… flower petals…"
When she met words she did not know, she could only read them according to the Pinyin. She cared about the reactions of the audience, so she was not entirely focused. She would pronounce a word incorrectly from time to time, or she would entirely read the wrong word, which caused the audience to send bullet screens to vent about it.
However, it was precisely because she did not read well, and some of her mistakes were very outrageous that the story felt almost like a comedy. The most important thing was that she did not pronounce the words incorrectly on purpose, and her awkward and suffering expressions nicely incited the audience's desire to vent about her pronunciation. The bullet screen comments were very close together, and there were often people sending gifts.
Her timbre was beautiful––like the surging of clear spring water; like the dripping of water onto stones; like the rustling of tree leaves; and like the echoes of the tides––and her vocal range was shockingly large. No matter how picky a person was, they would not be able to find a problem with it.
Someone with that kind of voice and that kind of looks reading a fairy tale was enticing. She often made the audience members unable to control their smiles. Even if it was the morning with very little people watching live broadcasts, there were still a lot of people coming to her room from other live broadcast rooms.
She was unknowingly immersed in the fairy tale and did not notice that her number of fans was quickly increasing. As she was very concentrated, she got into the character of the female lead in the story. Although she often read words incorrectly, her voice already had emotions, unlike the emotionless and energy lacking voice she had at the start.

The hunt for the dark elf chief was smooth. So far...

"Heal!"

The two warriors, Carl and Crawford, blocked the dark elf chief.

"These humans dare—!" The dark elf chief cornered the two warriors with his unique sharp movements.

Len fired an arrow at the chief. "Power Shot!"

At this moment, Taeng showed himself in the corner. There was a tiny stone held in Taeng's hand. He threw the stone toward Len's shoulder. Len was hit by the stone, making his aim go a bit off. The result was disastrous.

"Kuaack!"

He pierced the dark elf's shoulder, not his blade. Then the dark elf chief's dagger pierced Carl's neck as the sword struck him in the shoulder. Len realized that something was strange and yelled at Crawford, "Get out! Run away!"

'Now.'

"Where are you going? You should die here." There was a person who blocked their retreat with a cheerful smile. It was Hyeonu.

"W...Why?"

"Why? If you are planning to hit someone in the back, then you should know if you can beat them. Yet you didn't know this?"

"Step aside! Why do you mean by hitting someone in the back?"

"What about 'Let's catch the chief and pretend to kill him by mistake. Our good intentions became twisted'? Wasn't that what you said?"

"...Then?" Len realized the truth and fell into despair.

The fish caught in the net wasn't Hyeonu, who was standing before them, but themselves.

"It is as you are thinking. It is you, not me."

It was a terribly chilling truth. Len pulled out a dagger and charged toward Hyeonu. He only fired arrows from a distance and couldn't compete in close combat with Hyeonu. Len could be killed in a single attack. Yet it didn't happen. Hyeonu wanted to create an indelible memory for Len.

'Don't do this again.'

He wanted to completely trample on this person.


***


Team Holic's leader, Len, died. He died with a body entirely covered with wounds.

'He probably won't do this again.'

"Human!!" Now there was only the chief left.

"Taeng, buff!"

"Forest's Blessing. Bear's Momentum."

The real battle was starting now. The dark elf chief's movements were swift, but they were simple. Hyeonu reacted decisively to every action. This was the end. The dark elf chief lost to Hyeonu even though he normally abused level 50 players who had priest's buffs applied. Additionally, it was too one-sided.

The dark elf chief was helpless. He didn't succeed with even one attack. It was blocked by Hyeonu every time. In the end, Hyeonu cut into the dark elf chief's abdomen. It wasn't a deep wound, but it was enough to limit his movements.

"A human at most..."

"At most... It is sad. Do you know? Hey~ you're going to die today because of a human." Hyeonu showed off his distinctive stance of a sword on his shoulder and accepted the chief's words.

Hyeonu's provocation worked well. The dark elf chief ignored the wound in his abdomen and ran forward. The chieftain's attacks were significantly slower than they were before. It was as if he were moving through water.

Hyeonu couldn't be affected by these types of attacks. He used exquisite movements to dodge the dark elf chief. Simultaneously, Hyeonu's longsword moved. Tok. The arm holding a dagger fell to the ground.

"Grrrr..." The dark elf chief groaned from the pain of his arm being cut off. No, he tried to do so. However, his neck had already been cut.


[The dark elf chief has been killed.]

[Experience has been acquired.]

[You have leveled up.]

[All health and magic power have been restored.]

[You have leveled up.]

[All health and magic power have been restored.]


'Two levels... good.'

Taeng jumped onto Hyeonu's shoulder. Then he did a high-five with Hyeonu. It was a ceremony of triumph. Hyeonu's big picture was a success.

"Uhahaha!"


***


"Three inventories."

The result of the big picture was gorgeous. After all, they were professional PK criminals. The penalty resulted in them dropping a lot of expensive equipment. Unfortunately, the priest wasn't a murderer, so only a few miscellaneous items were dropped.

'Isn't it quite profitable?'

Rare items in the level 50 range were worth at least hundreds of thousands of won, no matter how bad they were. If a popular effect was attached, then it could easily exceed one million won.

'I'd love it if all of their items dropped.'

Hyeonu checked each item. There weren't any expensive items apart from the rare items.

"Eh? What is this wealth?"

Then a fairly good item came from Len's inventory.

"A random rare skill book?"

Random rare skill book—Hyeonu had seen it a few times. This item gave a rare rated skill. It was naturally expensive, very much so.

'Should I sell it?'

Hyeonu struggled while holding the skill book in his hand. Should he make money by selling the skill book or use it to possibly get a bigger jackpot?

"I'll go to town first and think about it later."


***


"Did you sell it?" Yeongchan asked Hyeonu who was scouring his laptop.

"Yes, I'll sell it soon. I only need to subtract the fee of 500."

"You were lucky. How did you meet those guys?"

Hyeonu explained the situation roughly. It was the story of the people who tried to take Hyeonu's items. Yeongchan thought it was ridiculous when he heard it. They had picked the wrong target. They didn't aim for anyone else; they aimed for Gang Hyeonu.

'Trying to catch a madman... Their luck was lousy.' Yeongchan expressed his condolences for those who reached an obvious end.

"Did you shoot a video?"

"A video? I took it."

"Then pass it to me."

He would do something for Hyeonu. Yeongchan received the video Hyeonu had stored on his laptop. Hyeonu disappeared into the cube, and Yeongchan remained alone in the living room.

"This person is a bit lacking, and this one can't be contacted. Shall I raise the price a little bit?"

Yeongchan was looking for someone to make a video of Hyeonu. The thing Hyeonu needed now was publicity. He needed to raise awareness of Hyeonu before his streaming debut. Yeongchan decided to edit some of Hyeonu's gaming videos into a movie. It was the original video from before Hyeonu even opened his mouth. There was nothing more to desire if great editing techniques were added. It was a jackpot.

'A jackpot, naturally.'

"Ah, found it."

One person's name and contact information appeared on Yeongchan's laptop.


[Ellis Movies]

[Field: Arena video editing expert.

Career: #1 in the video category of the month for Arena World. Arena Maker of the Year.]


"It is expensive but...'

Three million won—some people might think it was too much money spent for editing a video that was only 30 minutes. However, the value of this money... It was not expensive at all considering the value it would bring. Additionally, Ellis Movies was the top among such movie makers. It was a name Yeongchan would never have known if he hadn't been introduced by an acquaintance. The flaw of the job was that there were more conditions aside from money, but Yeongchan believed that Hyeonu's video would suffice.

"It is worth it."


***


Ellis—among the Arena video makers, he was known as a ghost. He selected the appropriate BGM and edited it frame-by-frame. Sometimes, he stole their vision like a ghost by using a change in color. Ellis hadn't originally planned to be an Arena movie maker. His dream was to be the director of a big blockbuster or a graphic designer who implemented virtual reality games.

In other words, he wanted to be great. Yet reality was grim, and the path he found was Arena. From the moment he stepped into this world, he ran on the road to success. It was to the point where he felt that this had always been his vocation. One day, he had been editing Arena videos like a squirrel when he had a thought. 'This is the life I dreamed of.'

From then on, Ellis' heart removed everything else, and he only touched videos.

"This is crap. This as well. Can PK be done like this? It is clearly just hitting for money."

Ellis sorted out his mail which as usual was piled up today. He couldn't watch all the footage in detail, so he only watched the opening minute.

"Umm... What is this video?"

His hands stopped pressing the delete button after a while. He saw a video he liked. The combat style of the man in the video was terribly tidy. It was a fighting style Ellis had never seen before. No, he had seen it once in the past. That's right, it was in meleegod's videos.

"Yeongchan? Michael introduced him the other day..."

'Yet this isn't him?'

Ellis' thoughts didn't last long. He was immersed in Hyeonu's video. It was a video with no editing, but it was very immersive. Ellis' motivation sparked after a long time.

"From today on, I will be this person's fan."

'I'll do it for him unquestionably!'

The video of this person catching the PK group in reverse was enough. The man's combat style in the video was full of star power. It only needed the addition of his editing.

'This is a jackpot.'

Ellis immediately started the editing. He simply couldn't stand it. It was the first time there was a video that evoked his desire for editing.

"Put this in the background here and zoom in like this! Good! Perfect!"

Ellis' hands became busy. Then Hyeonu's video started changing rapidly. This was the moment when Ellis became Hyeonu's exclusive video editor.

***


'What should I do...'

Hyeonu was sitting in a corner of the village. He was feeling troubled. The random rare skill book was something he was reluctant to give up even though it might be useless. He didn't think he would get a good skill if he used it, but he was hesitant to sell it. The price was expensive, but if a useful skill for Hyeonu came out, then it would be very valuable for the future.

At this time, Taeng approached the struggling Hyeonu.

"Master dude. What are you thinking about?" Taeng asked with his distinctive ears wriggling.

Hyeonu confided his concerns to Taeng as he wanted to ask someone for advice. "I have a piece of land. However, it is a land that isn't cleared. In other words, I don't know what the results will be if I plant anything in it."

"So?"

"I'm wondering if I should sell this land or clear it to build a farm."

The moment Hyeonu's story was over, Taeng said, "What will you do if you sell the land?"

Hyeonu paused for a moment before replying, "Huh? I will do farming?"

"Then why sell? Do you have no money?"

"!!!"

'Why do I want to sell this when they already gave me money?'

Hyeonu opened the skill book as soon as he realized this. He used the skill book.


[You have used the rare random skill book.]

[A skill has been created.]

[You and I in One Shot!]

[You and I in one shot. A blow with soul!

Type: Continuous

Rating: Rare

Skill Proficiency: F

Ignores 10% of the opponent's defense.]


The result of the gamble was a jackpot. This was truly amazing. It had an effect that would only be seen in high-level unique items. 10% defense penetration literally meant ignoring 10% of their armor and defensive skills. It was difficult to show the efficiency at Hyeonu's level because the player's attack power was relatively high while the monsters didn't have much defense.

However, the efficiency was different as the level progressed. Thus, it was a big hit. After all, Hyeonu's goal wasn't to be a mediocre player.

Hyeonu got rid of all the system messages and picked up Taeng. Then he started spinning around. It was an expression of Hyeonu's joy while it was close to torture for Taeng.

"Damn Master dude!! Put me down!!!"

"Thank you! Thank you!!"


***


A video was uploaded onto Arena World the moment Hyeonu hit the jackpot with the random skill book.

[PK Bugs Catching Video.avi]

People's reactions were intense. In particular, those who suffered from vicious PK criminals at a low level were cheerful.

-Milk Drinking Yuljae: I was also hit by those guys before. It is exhilarating.

-Power Muscle King: If I meet them, I'll slice at them first.

-High-quality Watch: They were hit in the big picture. 

-Unexpected Death when Touched: By the way, why go to the dark elf boss they can't even catch?

-Sleeping Daoist: The 1.5L shot of cider feels refreshing. Recommended! 

-Thailand Opha: Is this an Ellis movie? No wonder why the quality is different.

"Good, good."

There were 150,000 views. Yeongchan was pleased with the community's response. It seemed that uploading a few more videos would be sufficient publicity. He uploaded it to his channel, so he was sure the number of views would go up.

"It isn't a waste of money. I think they made it slightly cheap."

Yeongchan also liked the post-edited video. Above all, this was an amazing Ellis movie. Yet somehow, the price was very cheap. It was an unbelievable amount of money for the industry's top expert.

"Well, this means that he likes Hyeonu."

Yeongchan felt it might be okay to move to the next stage.

'Plan: Make Gang Hyeonu a star. Subtitle: Return of the gold spoon.'

It was starting now.

An AI calling itself Schema has assimilated earth into its system. As a consequence, everyone gained access to status screens, power-ups, and skills. This AI turned these concepts from fiction to fact. It's easy to become intoxicated with leveling up and becoming stronger. To some, it's too good to be true like living out a dream.

For Daniel, however, it's closer to a nightmare.

He's in a bit of a predicament. Cracks in our dimensional fabric have unleashed terrifying beasts from dark, abyssal places. Schema organizes these cracks into dungeons, giving the native species of the planet a chance to fight back. Daniel finds himself trapped in one of these dungeons. Not long after, he discovers there's only one way out.

Kill or be killed.

This is a lit-RPG inspired by the Fallout series of games and the Legend of Randidly Ghosthound.

After that, everyone dispersed, discussing the key factors.

Jiang Chen "Meera, I am going to cultivate , don't disturb me for three days."
Jiang Chen immediately entered his natal palace. 
Mo Qingcheng "Jiang Chen, hidden enemy?"
Jiang Chen just nodded his head.
Mo Qingcheng "Should I spy on Xie Yang and others?"
Jiang Chen "It is not necessary, it is good to have some enemy to sharpen us. If even he is removed, it would become boring affair."
Mo Qingcheng "Well, I would still do that, I won't spoil the fun though."
Jiang Chen "Good. Where is Bing'er? She was around here few minutes back."
Mo Qingcheng "She went to cultivate. What are you planning to do next?"

Jiang Chen "Now, I am officially in the sect. I should go with my next regimen."
Jiang Chen " I am currently a 5th grade Martial artist. Human Rank alchemist and a weapon maker."
Mo Qingcheng "Hmm. Are you planning to rise your cultivation?"
Jiang Chen "I need to raise two more grades to become a 7th grade Alchemist and weapon maker?"
Mo Qingcheng "Why are you in such rush, to become a mortal rank alchemist?"
Jiang Chen "Human rank value is always lesser than Mortal rank."
Mo Qingcheng "True, I am also one rank away from 7th rank. We can both become Mortal rank alchemist sooner."
Jiang Chen "All techniques, I have learnt are stagnated at 3rd move. I should start practicing fourth moves of them all. Also I should go for White Dragon Palm too."
Mo Qingcheng "Jiang Chen, you shouldn't burden yourself. You have already learnt too many techniques. Is is necessary for you to complicate it yourself."
Jiang Chen "White dragon Palm would be the strongest technique I have. It is Mid Earth rank technique. You should understand what is means. It is not technique about ice attribute itself, I can improvise it to both my fire and lightning attribute."
Mo Qingcheng " Jiang Chen, I am not saying that you shouldn't it is just I want you to take it slowly."
Jiang Chen "But, we are constrained by time itself."
Jiang Chen "All I got right now is one year, it would take exactly an year , after that this batch of students will also become outer sect disciples. I will not have any problem with that. But, one I became a outer sect disciple, it means we are open inside the sect, inner sect disciples interact with outer sect disciples, there are many waiting to devour us there."

Mo Qingcheng "Jiang Chen, you are being too cautious. You hyped about Xie Yang and others that much, but that Xie Yang was too much afraid of you. Sai family people , they just want a favor from you, they don't want anything to be involved with you. Others are also scared of you."
Jiang Chen "Do you really believe I am scared of them. They are nothing in front of me, I am not worried about them, my only concern is their families involving. Each of their families is lead by Martial Generals. They have bunch of Martial Warriors and lot more martial soldiers."
Jiang Chen "I can kill anyone in Martial Artist realm. I can only escape from a martial soldiers other than 1st and 2nd grade. That is already pretty great."
Jiang Chen "I need a new ace with me right now. I also have to complete the offensive martial skill, for my unknown attribute, before I reach 9th grade martial artist."

Mo Qingcheng "You did it to yourself."
Jiang Chen " I will have to start with White Dragon Palm. Then go to my sword and spear techniques, tribulation technique is already practiced to limits, in previous month."
Mo Qingcheng "What is status of you techniques?"
Jiang Chen "My fist technique, I have practiced three moves of it to small perfection, I can now practice Fiery Hammer Fist."
Jiang Chen "Both Blazing Sun and White mist are same three moves in small perfection, I can learn fourth move now."
Jiang Chen "Dazzling Moon be header , Lunar eclipse is to be learnt next."
Jiang Chen "Tribulation technique , I have learn four moves to small perfection in recent practice.At present my strongest technique, I can take down even a first and second stage Martial soldier if I execute correctly."
Jiang Chen "There will be no improvement in my blizzard storm spear technique."
Jiang Chen "I am not practicing light spear technique for now. I may not practice is at all for now."
Mo Qingcheng "Why? If I am not wrong light attribute is your favorite of all your attributes."
Jiang Chen "I like my unknown attribute the most."
Jiang Chen "But,you are not far from truth. I like the principle involved, when fighting with light attribute. Fast,swift and accurate." 
Mo Qingcheng "Then why?"
Jiang Chen "I don't feel I need it for now. It should be one of the strongest technique with me. I already have lightning and ice attributed spear techniques."
Mo Qingcheng "Jiang Chen, what is your plan?"
Jiang Chen "I am going to use my time domain for now. I haven't used it in long time."
Mo Qingcheng "Your time domain?"
Jiang Chen "Yes, at present I have nearly 1.5 million attribute strands.I can stay there for almost 2 and half days. It would be worth training equal to ,two an half months."
Mo Qingcheng "You haven't used time domain in long time." 
Jiang Chen "True. After we met, I went to time domain only twice. One is while learning Blizzard Storm spear technique and other while breaking through to martial artist realm."
Jiang Chen "You, don't seem happy?"
Mo Qingcheng "Nothing." she will miss him, she had never spent a day without fighting with Jiang Chen, she used to argue or makeup a quarrel with Jiang Chen, only exception was when she was secluded in cultivating.

Jiang Chen soon isolated himself in a vacant room. Then activated his time domain and slowed down the time there.
Then, he took our his White Dragon Palm technique and was shocked to find a single skill there, it is a single move.
Jiang Chen "Single move. Then turning pages he found the depth of that move."
Jiang Chen "It should have been a heaven grade skill."
Jiang Chen "Unlike his other moves it is completely different. It suited Jiang Chen well, this single move can be varied to different levels, based on the comprehension."
Jiang Chen "It is the thickest book of technique I have and all the data seem irrelevant."
Jiang Chen started to read what is written inside the book, it is not related to technique at all. But is just about journey of an adventurer, he kept on describing everything he faced in his journey.
Jiang Chen read it not missing a single word. He understood there was a hidden meaning inside this  story. This story is not about Grand Heaven Continent, it took place in a place called Sovereign Continent, he even described that continent as a tiny one and there are many more powerful continents above his continent.
Jiang Chen, started meditation trying to understand the profoundness in script. He reread the script again and again and again. He didn't understand a thing in it.
Jiang Chen "What am I missing in it, I read everything again and again, it sure was interesting journey with uphills and downhills."
It has already been a month and there was no progress in White dragon Palm, his cultivation has grown to 6th grade though. He decided to take a short break for now. He should try it with fresh approach.
Mo Qingcheng "You came out early than expected, how did it go?"
Jiang Chen "Not an inch." then Jiang Chen started explaining what happened to Mo Qingcheng and Bing'er.
Mo Qingcheng "What about that single move?"
Jiang Chen "I can execute it even now. But it is no different from my Blasting Fist."
Mo Qingcheng "No different from blasting fist. Your weakest move is burning fist, if your comprehension is not enough,it should be as powerful as your burning fist."
Jiang Chen "What?"
Mo Qingcheng "You only told me, almost every first move is equally powerful, the strength only vary with the usage and comprehension."
Jiang Chen "Its true. But,"
Mo Qingcheng "You already made some comprehensions. It is just that you are not understanding it."
Jiang Chen "You mean to say, that I already comprehended some part of it."
Bing'er "True, there are few stronger techniques, but all are depended on user comprehension towards it."
Jiang Chen "True, it is equal to my Blasting Fist, it is my strongest move in unarmed combat. So, its comprehension towards it is already at this stage rivaling blasting fist."
Jiang Chen "What is the soul of this technique?"
Jiang Chen "I already made some comprehension towards it, but I am not able to sense it directly. But I have a understanding on it."
Jiang Chen "It is like, I already reached small perfection in one move,without doing a thing. It is too easy to learn as well as too difficult to learn. Why am I only able to bring that move."
Jiang Chen once again tried to remember the whole book and tried to understand it. 
Bing'er and Qingcheng left him there alone, to let him comprehend it himself.

Chaos is the beginning ,chaos is the end ,chaos is the truth. In the world where everyone is born with an attribute that brings the ire of everyone ,every time he is born he brings the chaos himself and complete destruction. Born with 7 attributes he should have been a genius the world envy but he was sent to exile after he was born. The path he choose challenge the heavens or succumb to heavens it is all upto him now . The path he choose is of the Asura.

The two men noticed the woman with the brown hair observing them with furrowed brow. One last glance at each other, the two seemed to have come to an understanding. They smiled at the woman. Mark Adam went near her, 
"Princess, at least don't be angry today. You are killing me with your anger." 

Everyone laughed at the handsome blue eyed man faking pain. "Oh my god! He's so handsome. And he seems to love our sister Nia a lot." The women whispered and giggled. With two very handsome men the liveliness of the place increased manifold. 

Nia took all the guests to lunch with her mom and grandma. Over lunch Mark charmed the five younger girls and the two older ones i.e. her mom and grandma. 'Wow! A real achievement indeed.' Nia was amused. Though the two men were amiable with each other Nia felt a cold undercurrent still flowing around the them. She decided to ignore it as she realized that Mark Adam was jealous of Zubeen. 

~  ~  ~  ~  ~

Along with birthday girl Astha, the other children also received gifts. Mark and Rhianna brought lots of gifts. Especially Mark, who came for the first time. He brought gifts even for Nia's mom and grandma. Everyone was won over by his charming, smiling personality. Like Zubeen, he played with the children, blew balloons, talked with the inhabitants of the Shelter pleasantly. 

The guests and Nia's family, they all had dinner with the inhabitants of the Shelter as it was a day of celebration. Chicken biryani, chicken tikka masala, chicken with banana flowers, fish stew with bamboo shoots, split chickpea gravy, duck meat with sesame and pumpkin were served at dinner. After dinner they had sweet curd and ice-cream.

At ten in the evening while everyone went to bed the girls planned for a night at the bar. Nia who did not drink, wanted to go to bed early as next morning they would be leaving for the city. Mark was more interested in spending time talking with her. Zubeen told the girls they could drink at home if they wanted. 

"I don't want another night like last night so soon. Moreover we wouldn't want to leave problems for mom and grandma." 

So they drank and danced in the living room till midnight. At the end only Zubeen, Mark, Mahua who drank very little and Nia who did not drink at all, were left sober. Grandma's driver drove Monikarnika, Pynsuklin and Nungshi to the town as none were in a condition to drive. 

Next morning before leaving for the city Nia returned a few story books to Mark Adam that he had brought along with other gifts. He looked at her with a puzzling look. 

"Thanks for all the gifts and making the children happy. But return these books to the store. My girls do not read Princess stories."

"But I didn't bring Sleeping Beauty story book. I brought other fairy tales books."

As she walked to her car, Nia replied, "Stories which teach girls only to dream for a Prince Charming, my girls don't read them."


~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  

"You see, there was this girl who wanted to carve the path she would walk on. She was the daughter of a brave army major, the granddaughter of a High Court judge. Her grandma was a successful lawyer and an organic farmer." She started telling her own story. 

 "And her mother," she paused, "her mother was a home maker who loved to take care of the family, and a teacher who taught girls to dream big. She was the principal of a Girls High School. Their family was a patron of that school." A few days after she had returned to the city after Astha's birthday, Nia invited Rhianna and Nicholas over to her place. 

"It feels funny to be talking about myself, as if telling a story about someone else." Nia smiled awkwardly at Rhianna and Nicholas. The two of them sat silently, in Nia's living room, their whole concentration was on the woman who always talked less about herself. 

"It was only natural for the girl to want to carve out a niche for herself like the other members of her family." Nia continued after a little pause.

"Her grandma named her Nirvana, a name with a deep meaning. She was a butterfly, soft and fragile like it, because her family treated her with utmost love and care. Like it, she loved the world, the freedom, the soft breeze and the sun. She was not borned to be in a cage. Her spirit was free, and Nirvana wanted to walk on a path that her heart told her to follow."

Nia was staring at her hands on her lap. It felt strange talking about her life as if she was reading out from the pages of a book. She chose to talk in third person because she had felt that that way it would feel less personal, less painful. That way her own past seemed like a hazy world, looked through the glass window on a rainy day. 

"Then the girl's father died." Her voice trembled, she wanted to quickly finish the narrative. "He was a brave army Major but he died not in the line of work. He died trying to save his best friend and his wife from fire. It was a pity that they did not live long too. They died later on in a plane crash."

Nicholas knew Nia was talking about Yougal's parents. But only today he learned that Nia's father saved Yougal's parents from the fire that was accidentally started by their maid. He wondered why Yougal who seemed to be smitten by her, did not remember her from the past. 

When he learned that Nia was the girl his friend was to get engaged to, Nicholas was not surprised. He was surprised at how much agony that lovable, gentle woman had kept buried inside her. He never ever thought that there was a graveyard in that warm hearted woman.

Five years ago Nirvana Sonowal and her family were humiliated without any logical reason by the rich, handsome fiance fixed by her grandparents. Yougal Lucas Sinha was the choice of her family, thrust upon her against her wish.
   
     On the day of the engagement he did not turn up to make it official. From being the center of envy and hidden malice, Nirvana who was better known as Nia, was reduced into a target of rude jokes and ridicule. Nirvana's grandpa suffered a cardiac arrest and died at the hospital. Her mother and grandma could not take the loss and humiliation, and embraced silence.

      In an instant Nirvana, the butterfly like fragile young woman was left alone to cope with disaster and loneliness. The man did not appear at the funeral of her grandpa, nor sent a word of condolence. He did not care to give an explanation for his actions. 


     Nirvana still appeared fragile like a butterfly but underneath that deceptive appearance lurked a woman who was mysterious and dangerous to play with. 
   

     Five years later she met him, the rich, handsome once upon a time her fiance Yougal Lucas Sinha, at the birthday party of her best friend. The only emotion Nia could sense in her was revulsion at the sight of the man and for him she had one description, the evil shadow from the hell who brought Death, gloom and agony to her life. She never wished to cross paths with that piece of bad omen, least of all at Rhianna's party.


     Yougal Lucas Sinha decided to pursue Nia and change her hate into love. Fate worked against Nirvana and his union. 'Maybe I contributed too, to the work of fate.' He lamented. Nirvana was lost to him, this time he was determined to fight for his chance of happiness with Nia.
