Terry Barnes a high school boy is thrust into a world changed by an unknown alien entity that sets off an event that releases a catalytic agent into the Earth's atmosphere which changes the human DNA of some parts of the population granting them abilities. However this same event sends Terry into a coma where he wakes up a year later to a changed world.....

Today, Old Master Lu was very happy. It could be said that all his gloominess from before had been swept away. Initially, he had been terrified to have taken on such a horrible form. Although he had told everyone he was an ice-cream, he had known exactly what sort of creature he looked like in his heart.
Everyone in the surroundings had been mocking him, telling him to evolve into a pile of shit...or simply a bag of fertilizer.
Truthfully speaking, in this game that didn't allow one to delete their accounts regardless of what they evolved into, he wasn't able to accept it!
After spending his time in agony for two days, he finally gathered the courage and went to ask the instructor as to what he would evolve into. In the end, when he moved nearer to the instructor, the overlord next to her already pointed at him and cried out in alarm, "Feathers, a ball of feathers!"
At that moment, his heart turned cold!
But in the end, the instructor's next sentence was that he was a phoenix seed. Upon hearing that, he suddenly felt joy as though he just struck the lottery!
Until now, he was still feeling dizzy.
(I am an awesome phoenix?)
(Wahahaha, as expected...the heavens help those who help themselves!)
(Didn't I say that I've been attracting online traffic every day with my posts for the game. Even if I didn't get any credit for it, I did still work hard, right? How can the game bear to let me evolve into shit?)
He, who was still lost in excitement and happiness, suddenly received an email from the official game station.
"Dear player [My ancestor Old Master Lu didn't Cheat]. Hello, firstly, the game's backstage staff want to thank you for your selfless promotion of the game. Through the discussion of the work team, in order to thank you for your support, we gave you a special reward, granting you the bloodline of a hidden job. You should have already received it in game. But yesterday, the game's A.I. reported that all the elf players displayed immense dissatisfaction toward you possessing a hidden job. Hence, we hope that you could write another article regarding the strategy guide about the benefits of ordinary elf jobs to placate them. As for the information needed, we have already sent it to your email. In the future, the work team will give you remuneration according to the effects of your guide. We also hope that you can continue to support our game. Thank you!"
Signing off: Xiye Game Studio, sincerely wishing you well.
After receiving the email, Old Master Lu was stunned for some time. He then shouted in excitement, "As expected!!"
After that, he read through the content of the email many times, tears flowing down his face. As expected, his hard work wasn't wasted. The game studio truly had a conscience. His ancestor must be blessing him, allowing him to acquire a hidden job.
When he thought of this, he hurriedly replied to the email.
"Hello to every boss in the gaming studio. Firstly, I am really very honored to be able to receive the recognition of the official game station. Being able to write for such a wonderful game product, it's really my, Lu Xiaowei's, glory to be able to do so. The humble me appreciates and admires the efforts of the work team very much. Such an era-crossing game yet still choosing to treat the players so well. In addition, there are no moods to purchase anything in-game at all, resulting in the loss of a source of income for the gaming studio. I'm really very impressed by the work team's far-sighted strategy and will definitely do my very best to promote the game. I'll give all my meager strength to do so, and there's no need for your side to mention anything about remuneration. Lastly, I'm very thankful for the work team to grant me a hidden job. I wholeheartedly wish for [Star Ocean] to be popular, becoming a wondrous divine work that would never die off!"
Old Master Lu glanced at the email he wrote. After looking through a few times, he then carefully hit the reply button. He didn't expect his actions to be able to gain the notice of the official game station. This was truly a huge surprise. The excited him hurriedly tactfully declined the mention of remuneration.
He didn't care about this bit of remuneration. The cafes of his Lu Clan were extremely prosperous back in the time of his ancestor. Although the business had declined a lot when it came to his generation, he still wasn't thinking much for this bit of remuneration. Comparatively, he regarded the business value of this game much more highly.
Right now, the game showed no signs of earning any income by creating an in-game store. Since this was the case, this meant it was most probably planning to go for the gift card system, a one-time fee or a monthly fee system!
What did this represent?
This represented a huge business opportunity for the players.
As for charging a fee for in-game items, those p2w players wouldn't mind mindlessly throwing money at the game station. But then the space where top-quality players could perform would become very limited. If the balance of the in-game store was not that good, there was basically no space for normal players to perform. But if this game adopted the game style of [Titan], which implemented a one-time fee, things would be different!
Everyone would be on the same starting line. In that case, players who had spent a large amount of time and energy would have the advantage. This would also be fair as top-quality players had an even larger space to perform!
Originally, he felt that he no longer had an opportunity to make his ancestor's former glory to re-appear as he missed the starting phase of [Titan]. Yet, he didn't expect that he would encounter another divine work like [Star Ocean] in his robust years, and he even received such preferential treatment. This time around, if he couldn't succeed, he would truly have wasted the bloodline of his clan!
After all, his ancestor was a man who could go head-to-head with the number one mid-laner, FAKER, of the league of legends back then and boasted of a 50% win-rate against him. So, as his descendant, how could Old Master Lu's talent be weak?
When he thought of this, Old Master Lu grew increasingly emotional. He drew in a deep breath and opened up the information that the official game station had sent to him. He was preparing to use the information and write a good article. Maybe, they would then give him some good items in-game to reward him. This was a rare-to-come by backdoor chance; hence, he had to do this well.
Moreover, his hidden job was truly too ostentatious. Humans wouldn't worry about scarcity but uneven distribution. This hidden job of his would easily arouse jealousy in others. By writing this article well, he could lower the risks for himself.
Hence, he concentrated and read through the information. This read actually caused him to tremble. The system of this game was not ordinarily huge. If it wasn't because the game's performance in the early phase was so good, he even doubted if the game system could sustain balance when so many complex jobs were introduced. Just the elf race alone had so many jobs. There was even a note in the email saying that there would be even more races to choose from for new players in the future!
The more he thought about it, the higher the anticipation he felt in his heart for the game's later phase!
----------------------------------------
On the other hand, Xiye felt a little ashamed when he saw Old Master Lu's reply which stated that he didn't want any remuneration. Using his subject's natural talent like this while giving him nothing, even scamming him that his evolution into a phoenix seed was something given by the 'game', was this idea a little too dirty?
Could he really be a black-hearted overlord?
(Mn...This is just a makeshift stratagem due to my temporarily poor finances. In the future, when this overlord struck it rich, I will definitely treat these honest and simple indigenous players kindly.)
"Ding! Hello, respected Overlord Xiye. The few high-grade jobseekers you booked have already confirmed their interview timings. Do you want to meet with them?"
This voice caused Xiye who was thinking of other things to awaken from his stupor. After that, he collected his thoughts. This should be the reply sent to him by the talent network. He hurriedly opened up the email.
He read through the content. It basically stated that the recommended high-grade instructors were willing to meet him for an interview. Xiye felt his heart shake with excitement when he saw this. He stood up and rubbed his hands. He then instructed the A.I. to help him monitor the elves' evolution. He then prepared himself and headed out for a long journey.
As long as all of these things were settled, his first batch of basic combat force would appear and his large-scale expansion plan could finally be started!


Player: I'm a worker whose monthly salary doesn’t even hit $5,000. My monthly rental already takes up half of my salary, I don’t have a girlfriend and is reprimanded by my superior every day. However, I feel very happy because there has been a new virtual game recently. In the game, I have a powerful bloodline. Not only do I have my own fleet, I even have a powerful overlord that granted me a colonized planet. Although I know this is fake, but inside there, I found the meaning of my life!
Actually...the overlord who gave him the planet really wanted to tell him that this game wasn’t fake. (You really have your own fleet and colonized planet…) but the overlord knew that he couldn’t say this. Because, once he said it, these subjects who thought of themselves as ‘players’, would definitely not be as terrifyingly hardworking as now!!


Soon, a large number of netizens appeared in the live broadcast room. Of course, the live broadcast platform also discovered the content of the live broadcast in the live broadcast room for the first time.

The studio was also put on the recommendation page. In an instant, the number of people in the studio went directly from thousands to hundreds of thousands.

And the number of people is still increasing rapidly at tens of thousands per second.

"What is going on and where is the anchor?"

"What is this place, looking a little familiar?"

"Anchor dead? Come out and introduce it quickly!"

"This seems to be a white fog forbidden zone."

"it is a white fog forbidden zone, but what is the white fog forbidden zone doing now?"

"I don't know, I look a little panicked at the thunder in the dark clouds."

All the people in the studio were puzzled. Although they knew what must be happening in this white fog forbidden area, they just couldn't guess.

"I know that the dark clouds in the sky are a bit like thunder robbery."

"Thunder robbery, it is ."

"The thunder robbery seems to appear in the novel only after breaking through a big realm."

"I'll tell you a piece of news. Not long ago, this happened on the other side of the White Fog Forbidden Zone, but the news was blocked by the state."

"Don't guess, Do you want to form a team to see?"

"Add me."

"I'll go too."

… … … …

The netizens in the studio all said that they would like to see it.

The incident of thunder robbery made all netizens curious. In case they could find any good things, it was necessarily!

On Ningtian's side, the surrounding spirituality has been rapidly absorbed by his main roots. The 20,000-high spirituality is now at most several thousand spirituality concentrations.

Ningtian knows that this is far from enough. Fortunately, Ningtian still has a spiritual mine.

spirit stones in the mine are also directly absorbed by the main root of the tree, absorbing one tenth in an instant.

However, Ningtian's tree body also slowly grows new bark and crisp green tender leaves. In the stems and leaves inside the tender leaves, orange liquid actually appears to flow slowly.

The growth rate is extremely slow.

At this time, the dark clouds over Ningtian were already covered with dark clouds. There seemed to be a white dragon rolling in the clouds.

At the same time, the feeling of dark clouds suppressing Ningtian is getting bigger and bigger. Ningtian feels that there is a power of destroying gathering above him at this time.

In the distance, Xueer and Xue Ling both clenched their small fists unconsciously and looked at Ningtian side with worried eyes.

Of course, Purple Gold Eagle and they were equally worried. The dark clouds in the sky gave them a terrible feeling.

At this time, the demon sword in front of Ningtian said, "You should have a big secret that I can't find."

"How can I become your master without any strength or any secret?" Ning Tian said with pride.

"You are now crossing the thunder, because you have to break through your own limits and evolve to a higher level. However, what kind of huge energy suddenly appears in your body? I am very curious about how the huge energy that supports your evolution came from?"

The demon sword is really looking down on its master now.

"demon sword. I will one day cut down heaven and earth and punish thousands of fiends." Ningtian said.

However, Ning Tian's words silenced the demon sword. He read Ning Tian's words.

"It seems that I follow him... master, and in the future, it is impossible to just stay in the world." The demon sword said to himself.

At the same time, spiritual communication and Ningtian said: "Master, I am looking forward to the coming of the day when heaven and earth will be cut down and thousands of fiends will be punished." This time the demon sword shouted out the word "master" again.

Ning Heaven knows, this is the demon sword confirmed his recognition to him.

"Just wait!"

He looked at the sky and look directly at the dark clouds in the sky.

"Rumble!!" Thunder and lightning flickered in the dark clouds, and a white dragon could be seen faintly, roaring at Ning Tian.

"Come on! Let me see how powerful you are." Ning Tian said loudly.

"Rumble!!" Thunder and lightning flickered again in the dark clouds.

Ning Tian looked at the clear feeling that the thunder robbery was about to fall.

"Boom!!" Hundreds of meters long white thunder down, directly on Ningtian.

A pain that was almost torn all over the body nearly caused Ningtian to collapse directly.

On the other hand, the newly grown bark was blackened by thunder robberies and many tender leaves were directly chopped down.

But soon new tender leaves sprouted again.

At the same time, underground, the main root of Ningtian is more frantically absorbing the spirituality of spirit stones in spirit mine.

"There were six robberies."

The demon sword also said that it would be six several thunder robberies.

"There are still five robberies."

Ningtian immediately felt that he would die. Just then, Ningtian felt more painful than the dismemberment. This was the pain of every cell in his whole body.

"Master, you can hold on. thunger robbery is against the heaven. Otherwise, if your will collapses, it will be regarded as failure and the consequence will be the loss of your soul." The demon sword is serious and warns Ning Tiandao.

Ning Tian' heard that the failure is the loss of his soul. Ning Tian, who was already a little shaken in his will, recovered immediately. He could only resist.

"Boom!!" The second thunder fell.

And this second thunder is bigger than the first thunder, and of course it will be more powerful.

Originally, if a tree was about to be born, it would now look like an old tree about to die.

Now Ningtian's whole body is in pain. Just then, Ningtian's own will nearly collapsed. Fortunately, Ningtian held on.

In the sky, the third thunder is gathering.

Ningtian can clearly feel that the power of the third thunder has exceeded that of the second thunder.

Although the root of Ning Tian is now recovering from the crazy absorption of spirituality, Ning Naive is a little unable to bear the pain.

"Boom!!" The third thunder fell.

This thunder actually faintly looks like a white dragon, heading for Ningtian.

"Ah!!!" Ning Tian couldn't help shouting out.

Once again, when the thunder dispersed, Ningtian's whole tree had become scorched black.

At this time, the underground spirit mine has been absorbed by half of the spirit stone by the main root of Ningtian.

"Shit! pain enough, but I held on."

Ning Tian's voice was a little weak, but he said unyielding to the dark clouds in the sky.

"Rumble!!" the fourth thunder is gathering.

Countless thunder and lightning flashed in the dark clouds and began to gather towards the fourth thunder.

Slowly, a dragon head appeared lifelike, with huge eyes staring at Ningtian with disdain.

It's like telling Ningtian, how can you oppose heaven, your end is only death.

"After waking up, Ning Tian was surprisingly reborn as a small sapling. Before he could react, a powerful system appeared, explaining the reason.
Because of the advent of the system, directly the planet began to enter the age of spiritual revival. The spirit revived and all things began to rise. 　　 　　
The beasts began to roar with excitement and bloodthirstiness, shaking the mountains and rivers, and countless human strongmen appeared in droves to fight for their country and glory... 　　 　　
However, in the middle of a deep mountain, an emerald green sapling with a huge life force rose directly from the ground. 　　 　　
Ning Tian, who possesses the system, can evolve infinitely and can eventually become the god of trees. And the fruit he produces can give the man a strange gift, even the evolution of the beast, the essence of life in his body can make all things crazy, and his own spirit can nourish all things."

The hunger after training wasn't a priority at the moment. 
It could be set aside for now. 
The scripture made of human skin was the priority. After killing the Ghost Driver, another section of the runes had begun to glow. 
Here was another chance for evolving himself. 
He had not pulled out the scripture and studied out of caution and fear at the hotel. 
There was a myriad of news reports about women, whose names were censored, running to the police. They looked pale and claimed that videos of them having sex had been found in secret camera groups, selfie groups, or within their own circles. Secret cameras were found in the light switches, bulbs, on the legs of tables, in vents and other places in the room. One could find a camera in any nook of the room. 
For that reason he did not pull out the manuscript of human skin, while in the room. 
He had trained for the 'Golden Immune Arhat' and then feasted for six or seven hours. It was the reason for delaying the matter of the scripture. 
'Golden Warrior Seal! 
'Evolve!'
The 'Golden Warrior Seal' came from the Buddhist scripture of 'Golden Warrior Sutra'. The 'Golden Warrior Sutra' was as revered in Buddhism, as the 'Golden Sutra' is in Taoism. 
It was used to fight demons and evil spirits. 
The 'Golden Warrior Seal' was one Buddhism's secret stratagems. 
If one looked closely, they would realize that the handprints or seals on the statues of Buddha and Guanyin were important. Each statue possessed different seals that were representative of the different powers and strengths. For example: the 'Meditation Seal' was derived from Buddha's hand position as he sat meditating beneath the bodhi tree; the same was for the 'Emperor Ming Seal', 'Jizo Bodhisattva Seal' and the 'Dragon Emperor Seal.' 
After his battle with the Ghost Driver, Fang Zheng realised that he lacked battle tactics. 
Granting he had strength, all his tactics came from street fighting. 
He had no knowledge of the techniques of controlling his strength and muscles to the martial arts of: Tong Bei, Xing Yi, Wing Chun, Ba Gua Zhang, Ba Ji and the other forms of martial arts. 
Practitioners of the aforementioned forms of martial arts could inflict twice as much damage using the effort they put in. It was effective and the most efficient use of his energy. 
Done ruminating, Fang Zheng resolved to train for the 'Golden Warrior Seal'.
As for the 'Golden Immunity Shield' based on defence, he decided he would attempt it once he had obtained more white smoke. 
When the time comes, he'll simultaneously develop his attack and defense tactics. 
Could he enhance his mastery over the 'Golden Immune Arhat' again? He felt uncertain of his ability to evolve it again. He did not want to take the risk, especially when he had yet to discover the ramifications of a failed evolution. As of now, the white smoke was extremely valuable to Fang Zheng. 
He couldn't afford to waste it, not even for a single evolution. 
The book dazzled brightly, as if golden flames danced upon its pages. The pages swiftly swept, like a movie being played at 50 times its speed. 
The words, paragraphs and illustrations came to life. They moved with the turning pages, pushing each other over as they rearranged themselves. It was being refined into a genuine training manual. 
The glow faded. 
The counterfeit simulacrum of the 'Golden Warrior Seal' had been successfully transformed into the genuine 'Exorcist Golden Warrior Seal'! 
'Exorcist?'
Fang Zheng's eyes lit up. 
It was exactly what he had expected. 
The 'Golden Warrior Seal' was capable of fighting demons and evil spirits in itself. It was no wonder that its evolution went in the direction of exorcism. 
It was the reason Fang Zheng chose to evolve the 'Golden Warrior Seal'. 
Fang Zheng was excited, now that his expectations had been fulfilled. 
If he ever encountered anything similar to the Ghost Driver, the 'Exorcist Golden Warrior Seal' could be used to slay these nefarious spirits. 
Not long after that, Fang Zheng realized that the 'Exorcist Golden Warrior Seal' was not simply a style of combat. 
According to the preface of the 'Exorcist Golden Warrior Seal', it was both a demon-fighting technique and a secret practice of the Buddhist tantras. 
Legend has it that every man has three lamps--one on his head, and one on each side of his shoulder. They were the three flames of men.
There was another saying: if you are walking alone at night, and you hear someone calling to you, do not look back. If you turn around the lamp on your head will be extinguished, and if you look to the left and right, the other two lamps on your shoulders too will be extinguished. If a single lamp goes out, the flame representing your life would weaken and your soul would be incomplete. Evil would find it easier to cling onto you. 
A normal person would have three strong flames warding off evil. 
Science explained the three flames as states in one's life. If one was strong enough, his energy and vigour would be at their optimum levels, making it impossible to contract diseases. If one was weak, he would be easily distracted, confused, and susceptible to disease.
The 'Exorcist Golden Warrior Seal' reinforced the three flames of men, that was it's secret. When the flames of life burn strong, the yang within oneself would be able to withstand evil. For adepts of the secret art, their aura of yang was so powerful that it would vanquish evil within a radius of a 100 meters or a kilometer. 
A simple example would be a crowded place. The more crowded a place is, the stronger the yang aura within the area. Thus the reason why many schools and housing districts were built atop mass graves. 
The preface of the 'Exorcist Golden Seal' made for an intriguing read. 
It was as intriguing as the 'Golden Immune Arhat'. 
"Men have three lamps on them?
"Three flames of life on their shoulders and heads?
"Why do these terms sound so familiar? Aren't these from 'Strange Stories From A Chinese Studio', 'Notes On A Minutely-Observed Hut', and 'In Search Of The Supernatural'?"
Fang Zheng was stunned. 
He started getting terrified--he had the chills!
'Why did the contents of the evolved book seem to match the horrifying happenings of late? It felt as if the demons and malicious spirits were rising from the dead.' 
The more he dwelled on the matter, the more chills he felt coursing down his back. 
The origin of the white smoke, reaped by the scripture of human skin, was just as appaling. Fang Zheng thought about the Ghost Driver--
'So!'
He had pondered about it for two days. 'Was this cousin of Nicholas Cage's Ghost Rider a superhuman? Or a ghost?' 
Fang Zheng had already been complaining about it for two days. 
However, there was one thing Fng Zheng was certain of: 
'The world… was going astray; the world was no longer peaceful!'
Half an hour later…
Fang Zheng blinked. His body was easily mastering the formations. No matter what he trained for, it was easy. 
For example, within half an hour, he had completed his 'Golden Immune Arhat' training; he had done the same for the 'Exorcist Golden Warrior Seal'. 
Fang Zheng was sure that his body was going through unexplainable changes! So, what did the Liuwei Dihuang teapills from the other day do to his body? What did he evolve into?
What made him pick up all the formations this easily? 
Whatever he had been training for, it seemed like he was mastering everything effortlessly!


Missing people... Cars mysteriously falling off the Tongjiang Bridge... The world is going mad and it is up to Fang Zheng to prepare himself for it. What will he get himself into? What horrors will he face? Are YOU ready to join Fang Zheng on his journey to hunt the wicked? Ps. Save this one for a lonely midnight.

Zach slowly wakes up, lying in a warm bed he looks around.
.I called Zoey, so this must be her place.
He spots her lying on her back next to him.
...
Zach makes a big deal out of still being asleep and casually rolls over.
He wraps  his arm around he and tries to cop a feel of her breasts... But his hand is missing so he just rubs his stump on her.
"uhuh, Zach?"
Zoey sits up and rubs her eyes, looking down at the alien next to her she heaves a sigh in relief.
"Thank god he didn't see me asleep with him"
She shakes him awake calling his name, Zach who is trying to do an Oscar level performance wakes up.
.Ah zoey, i guess you helped me out then?.
"Yes, we almost got into trouble but some taxi driver saved us."
.What's his name, i want to thank him.
"His name is Sanjay, i got his number so we can meet up later... But i have a few questions i was hoping you can answer."
.Yeah sure, like what?.
"Are you an alien?"
Zach jumps up now only realising he is wearing Lingerie, the see through dress allows his junk to hang freely in-front of Zoey...
.Ahh!.
He covers himself in the bed sheets as if he were a girl who was just exposed.
...
Zoey tries hard to keep a serious face as she continues,
"Zach, are you an Alien?"
...
.No why would you think that?.
"You literally have a tail and gills."
.It's cosplay.
"I tried to take them off, they're real."
...
Zach decides to give up and present his tail to her, she touches it as it sways in the air.
.Well, some unforeseen circumstances have led me to discovering an artifact that will allow evolution.
"And you evolved with it?"
.I want to evolve further, but it requires fresh blood.
She steps back giving him a suspicious look,
.Look, i haven't killed innocents.
He wraps the bed sheets around himself and turns the TV on.
"Today videos and reports on the Demon have come out on Piccadilly Road, videos show the masked man wading into a crowd of police and goes on to kill a madman who had already injured many and killed the police officer Mark Muggen. Interestingly though, all footage relating to what happens after has been mysteriously lost. The populace want answers but the police refuse to comment currently.
People have conflicting views on this masked vigilante, but most see it as a mercy killing that will stop further injuries and deaths. I will be reporting on further information at a later date, my name is Cecilia May, back to the studio."
Zoey Sits and starts to process what she has just heard,
"Your the demon?"
.It's a crap name, but yeah.
"Thats so.... Cool!"
Zach didn't know but when Zoey was younger, she was a supper hero fanatic. When she lived with her parents, she would collect all the marvel and Dc figures and comics. Eventually though, her family became worried and banned her from anything related to heroes... Zach may have just accidentally opened up pandoras box...
He doesn't know what to say at her surprising outburst.
"So, that spinning top thing is the artifact i'm guessing?"
...
Zach wonders how she knows and nods.
"Does that mean i can gain powers too?"
[The system can only belong to one]
.It says that it can only belong to one person.
...
Her excitement dies down and Zach feels bad after crushing her dreams.
.But, i think i just unlocked a way?.
Her ears perk up like a dog,
.System, how do i make her a familiar?.
[To form a contract user must make a verbal agreement that both parties accept, then the host will drink a drop of the contractors blood, and vice versa.]
.Do you really want this? It's gonna be a lot more trouble than you expect.
"Yes!!!!"
.Okay, do you promise to never hurt, betray or act in any way that would prove negative to me?.
...
"Are we getting married, what is this?"
.Just accept it if the conditions are fine, i have to do this to form a contract.
"Yes i promise"
Using his tail, he pricks her finger causing blood to form. He licks the blood from his tail and pricks his own hand, presenting the blood to Zoey she does the same.

Zach attempts to warn her on the severity of the decision shes about to make.
"No, lets do it!"

He hands her the dreidel, she cradles it like it's the most important thing in her life.
Putting it down on the table she spins it.
What she gets shocks both of them.

Young dude gets an evolution system and attempts to live a lazy stable life...

After dying while protecting his junior colleague at work from a knife attack, Satoru Mikami is reincarnated as a slime in a magical world. As someone who is reincarnated, he gains the Skills "Predator" and "Great Sage". While strolling around, he meets the Storm Dragon Veldora who becomes his friend and names him Rimuru. In return, Rimuru gives the surname Tempest to both of them and agrees to snatch Veldora from his prison so that one day they can permanently break Veldora's prison. The mysterious disappearance of the Storm Dragon results in huge consequences as his presence acted as a sort of buffer zone. Meanwhile, Rimuru starts his adventure by traveling, meeting new people, fighting some of them, and turning them into allies by fighting them.

After Wen Zilong probed it with thermal induction, he discovered that within a hundred kilometers, the only thing that could pose a little threat to his dominance was a group of wild boars.

This group of wild boars has about twenty heads.

All are thick-skinned masters.

Not to mention their own harem, they can't bite their flesh.

And even ultrasonic attacks have little effect on them.

Wen Zilong can only use guerrilla warfare.

While they were sleeping, they quietly fell on them, and then bite their eyeballs with their teeth, injected poison into their bodies, and then slowly waited for their death.

Of course, their perineum is also exposed, and Wen Zilong could have been simpler and safer and attacked here.

But as a man with human thinking, how could he bite that kind of place.

So I can only take a little risk to bite their eyes.

In the end, it took a month to solve these twenty wild boars.

Within a hundred kilometers, they all became the territory of Wen Zilong.

At the same time, during the exploration, Wen Zilong had seen his territory far away, and there were eagles hovering in the sky.

In the more west, he has also seen a few vipers, and maybe there are groups of vipers there.

If you want to unify the entire Qinling Mountains, you have to engage in hawks and vipers.

But Wen Zilong didn't have this idea.

He was a person without ambition.

It now has 1,500 harems and a territory of 100 square kilometers.

The days of easy life, however, had to go to kill, kill or kill.

Isn't that cheap?

What's more, a person as lazy as Wen Zilong felt painful even if he flew a few meters, and asked him to fight and kill more than 100 kilometers away.

It might as well kill him directly.

So in the following days, Wen Zilong became comfortable again.

Eat and sleep every day, sleep and eat.

While he was sleeping, his harem was guarding him faithfully.

At the same time, by collecting those scattered bats, his harem team has expanded to more than 1,800.

Is steadily approaching two thousand.

Under his policy of opening up the second child, more bats were born.

However, these little bats have little combat power for the time being, so they are not within the calculation of Wen Zilong.

For these harems, Wen Zilong's only dissatisfaction is that these guys' IQ is really touching.

A simple command often takes a long time to understand.

Bat intelligence is already low, and communicate with them, so Wen Zilong is often crazy.

Especially Wen Zilong believes that since they have become their emperor, they should kill their prey every day, and then send them to come.

How can the emperor cook himself?

But these guys have limited intelligence and memory, and even if they were taught today, they might forget it tomorrow.

He can only expect that when he evolves into a new species, that species' intelligence can be higher.

Wait for them to rule them and let them bring food to themselves every day.

At that time, you can eat and sleep every day, sleep and eat, and slowly wait to evolve into a dragon.

Even if it is a fairy, it is not so easy to live.

Another month passed.

In addition to a little hard work and a little more blood per day, Wen Zilong spent the rest of his time sleeping and thinking about Wen Yuqi.

It's June and the weather is getting hotter.

During the day, Wen Zilong and his 1,800 harems basically hid in the waterfall studio.

This day was another hot day.

Knowing to call like a dead mother outside the cave.

Wen Zilong flew out to solve the few known, then flew back to sleep.

Originally such a trivial matter, just send a harem.

But the IQ of these guys ... Alas, it's tears when I say too much.

An hour later, Wen Zilong had slept very dead.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a few sharp calls.

The awakened Wen Zilong quickly looked up.

It didn't matter at this point, it scared him almost to urinate on the spot.

I saw at the cave entrance, hundreds of snakes were crawling in.

And these snakes are not ordinary snakes, they are all brown, white and black.

Commonly known as the pitted snake, also called agkistrodon.

You know, they are all highly toxic.

Wen Zilong knew before that there were swarms of viper in the mountains, but the swarms were far away from his waterfall view room.

He didn't expect these guys to invade his waterfall room.

The group of vipers was like a tide, pouring into the cave.

And there are swarms of vipers coming from both exits.

At this time, within the range that Wen Zilong can see, there are probably more than 500 vipers.

And it is increasing rapidly.

Wen Zilong's harems, in a very short period of time, had more than 300 burials in Shekou.

Wen Zilong wanted to launch an ultrasonic attack, but as a result, these harems who were able to save themselves were not spared.

So he quickly issued an order: "Withdraw, all withdraw!"

These harems hurriedly flew towards the exit.

But there are too many vipers coming in. Of the ten bats, three or four will only be killed.

Wen Zilong mixed in these harems, with the flying ability beyond the regular bat, constantly avoiding the attack of the viper in the cave.

After evading the attack of seven or eight snakes dangerously, he finally flew out of the cave.

From the outside of the cave, Wen Zilong couldn't help but numb his scalp, and all his hair stood upright.

I saw more vipers outside the cave. I am afraid there are more than five thousand.

"Damn, are these guys the same as the animal world said, the mating season has come? Even if Nimei's mating, they are not used to grab Laozi's waterfall view room? Laozi is not your old man, you have to give it to you. Prepare a new house. "

With so many vipers, Wen Zilong's bat group has no resistance at all.

One third of the bats have been buried in Shekou.

Wen Zilong waited for more than ten minutes, and finally gathered in the harem beside him, leaving only more than 1,200.

Wen Zilong heartache.

In the harem that was finally saved, in just ten minutes, there were only more than 1,200 left, fuck!

The most important thing is that these vipers made themselves easy to come to a comfortable life, and that's it.

Wen Zilong's eyes were full of anger!

Since you don't let Lao Tzu comfort, then you don't want to be comfortable!

Thinking of this, Wen Zilong flew to the entrance of the cave after more than five thousand vipers had entered the cave.

His wings were trembling violently, and the vocal cords in his throat were violently agitating.

One mouth, an over-frequency sound wave is emitted:

"Lao Zicao your eighth ancestor--"

Suddenly, under the enormous pressure of over-frequency sound waves, the air formed a ripple visible to the naked eye and rushed towards the cave.

Wen Zilong regenerates a small mosquito, but has a dragon dream.

By swallowing other creatures, they continue to evolve and gain the ability of these creatures.

Gecko genes can be extracted to regenerate limbs; Viper genes can be extracted to obtain venom capability; bat genes can be extracted to obtain ultrasonic attack; dinosaur egg genes can be obtained to obtain the power of Tyrannosaurus rex; dragon genes can be extracted to grow into a master-level dragon.

The whole world will be dominated by me!

After Han Xiao's fleet left Planet Pangurus, the guild players who stayed behind could not wait to make their moves.
The four largest Chinese guilds pretended not to be involved while secretly gathering the members of the other guilds who had stayed behind, including the guilds of the Thunderstorm club, Fanatics club, Rivervale club, and many more.
The number of members in these guilds who had stayed behind was around sixty to seventy each; they were mostly studio players who took on manual labor jobs from guilds and charged them a fee. They were more organized compared to normal guild players, who were much larger in terms of numbers.
Hundreds of players gathered and discussed the plan.
"The Russians and Australians have insufficient manpower. They left fewer than twenty people per club. There're a total of about a hundred people on each side."
"However, they're not splitting up, and the hundreds of them are mining together."
Although the Russians and Australians had established an agreement with the four largest Chinese clubs, the guild players who had stayed behind all stayed together to do mining. The Russians were led by the Power and Glory guild, and the Australians were led by the Kangaroo Boxing guild. They each gathered in one place of their own and had close to about a hundred people on each side, which was close to the number of people the top tier Chinese guilds had. It seemed that this was safer and would prevent them from being attacked.
However, never would they have thought that the Chinese top tier guilds would work together against them.
The Chinese guilds discussed for a while and decided with a plan. They had the absolute upper hand in terms of number, so they decided to split into two groups and attack the Russians and the Australians' resource points. The grouping was decided very soon, and they started the operation.
…
At the Kangaroo Boxing Guild's resource point, dozens of Australian players were hard at work in the mines, wearing the Worker Bee Armor, placing the resources into their armor, and transporting them back to the mini guild warehouse on the ground time after time.
There were many warehouses that belonged to the various Australian guilds, and there were patrolling studio players around. Although they moved as a group for safety, this did not mean that they were sharing resources. These warehouses were bought by the various guilds from the army using their own funds, and they were quite expensive. They were equivalent to their stronghold at the resource point.
At this time, groups of well-equipped first-tier guild players appeared in the patrolling players' sights and were charging right toward them from afar.
"Gather immediately! Our resource point is being attacked!"
These Australian club guilds hastily summoned those who were mining for resources, but it was too late. The close to three hundred first-tier guild players rushed right into this resource point.
The Australian players who rushed back from the mines clashed with those players instantly.
A scrimmage erupted in the blink of an eye!
Boom boom boom!
Pugilists blasted the backlines with energy flames, Espers threw out all sorts of colorful energy of different abilities, Mages constantly channeled spells, and Psychics nonstop used AOE psychic attacks…
The Mechanics made the greatest impact.
Version 3.0 was the version where Mechanics shone very brightly. This was because the Mechanic players would finally be able to learn the ability that would completely evolve their combat method in this version—Compression Technology.
Compressed orbs expanded on the battlefield one after another, turning into artilleries, mini mechanical soldiers, mechanical traps, and all kinds of equipment.
Be it financial power, combat capability, or manpower, the first-tier Chinese guilds had the complete upper hand and very quickly thrashed the Australian players. While they sent some people to the revive point to keep attacking, they started to attack the guild warehouses of the Australians and very soon destroyed all of them. The resources that the Australians had been collecting all this time were now robbed as loot.
The resource point became a mess. After they completely depleted the Australian players of their daily maximum revive count, the first-tier Chinese guild players retreated with the loot.
About a hundred souls hovered above the revive point and watched them leave with rage in their eyes.
Meanwhile, the Russians' resource point was treated equally.
…
"Our resource points were destroyed‽"
Inside a certain transport ship of the main fleet, Vodka was shocked to receive this news from the member who had stayed behind.
After hearing that the first-tier Chinese guilds were the ones who did this, he was furious. He immediately sent messages to the guild presidents of Long Sky and Dynasty and questioned them, "Why did you attack our resource point‽"
Jade Green Sky pretended to be confused. "What are you talking about? When did we do such a thing? You'd better have proof, or I'm suing you for slander."
"Just moments ago, the resource point we left on the planet was destroyed by your Chinese guilds members. The players were spawn-camped and finished their revive counts. They won't be able to revive in the next six in-game days. Why did those Chinese guild members attack us‽"
"Well, ask them, not like we're the ones who did it." Jade Green Sky held back his laughter.
"We buy equipment from you guys, and in exchange, you promised to provide protection to us," Vodka said furiously. "You've violated our agreement!"
Jade Green Sky knew exactly what tricks these foreign guilds had been pulling—these guilds bought equipment from them on the surface but secretly worked together with other Chinese players to secretly enjoy the full ten-percent discount.
Morning Snow Twilight Frost smiled faintly. "We did not know about this in advance. After all, those first-tier guilds have their own thoughts too. They're not working under us. We'll ask them about it. Don't worry, I'll try to convince these guilds."
"That'd be for the best." Vodka nodded.
As Vodka ended the communication, he was extremely displeased. These first-tier guilds working together against them was connected to the four largest Chinese clubs no matter how he looked at it. This might happen again in the future.
He contacted the captain of the people who stayed behind and said, "After you revive, I'll send some funds to you guys for you to buy some alarm devices in the army, such as automatic artilleries, traps, and laser formations. Deploy these around the new resource point, buy as many as possible, don't be afraid to spend… By the way, give up on your current location and look for a harsher location to mine resources."
On the other side, Morning Snow Twilight Frost and Jade Green Sky were discussing the matter as well.
"This attack will make them cautious and cause them to spend more money on unnecessary defense measures. These first-tier guilds never planned to attack them frequently, so we can just say that this is because we convinced these guilds and kept our promise. When these people build a new resource point and have recovered for some time, we shall organize an attack again. By then, there will be a new batch of resources stored in their warehouses, and it will all be robbed. As this goes on, the profit they gain from their resource points will be extremely limited. All we have to do is force them to turn this into a large guild war so that we can completely obliterate their guilds' core members with our numerical advantage."
"Cunning as always." Jade Green Sky gave him a thumbs up.
Morning Snow Twilight Frost shook his head. "Sadly, they did not send their professional players here, or we would have been able to help the club eliminate some opponents."
Pro players were the pillars of clubs, so clubs took the safety of the pro players very seriously. Of course, they did not dare send the character of their pro players to someone else's territory. One of the reasons the Chinese clubs were targeting the foreign guilds was also to protect their own pro players—if the foreign guilds built a stable foundation in their own territory, the chance of them causing the Chinese pro players trouble would not be negligible at all.
The others could come here from another Star Field, but they could not go to another Star Field, so the Chinese guilds were actually on the more passive side. This was why they had decided to work together to compete with the foreign guilds and guard their profit.
…
A few days later in another Star Zone, the Great Cosmos Corps fleet led by Kikiga was slowly heading toward the location of the marker. Other than the main ship, which was dozens of miles long, there were thirty or so guard battleships. All the warriors who were awoken were training. There were around a million people.
Inside the main ship, Kikiga rubbed his hands with anticipation—he loved plundering and was looking forward to the war.
"How long till we arrive at the marker's location?" Kikiga asked this question many times every single day.
"Chieftain, the location of the marker has been moving for the past few days. I think that this is the enemy's trick to confuse us, so we're now heading toward the location where the marker was activated first. It's not very far away," the team leader of the operators said with resignation. He had to repeat this many times every day.
"The faster the better. I can't wait," Kikiga said with a wild tone.
This time, one of the operators yelled, "Chieftain, three unknown targets are approaching us!"
"It's not meteoroids, right?" Kikiga was shocked.
In his mind, very few could travel in the universe like them, so his first thought was to assume that they were meteoroids.
"It doesn't look like it. They're flying toward us! Chieftain, I request to enter alert status!"
"Overreacting," Kikiga murmured and waved. "Alert then."
The fleet activated its various weapons very quickly and waited with focus.
Not long after, the three spaceships with Psionic Prime and the others on them slowly stopped before Kikiga and their fleet.
"Real spaceships?" Kikiga was shocked.
The operator quickly said, "Like I suspected, they can indeed track our marker and have very advanced technology. They can travel in the universe, too."
Kikiga sized the three spaceships up for a while before suddenly laughing.
"What are you afraid of? Look at those three spaceships. How strong can they be when they're so small?"
Indeed, the spaceships that Psionic Prime and the others were in looked tiny compared to the main ship of Kikiga's fleet.
To Kikiga, the size of spaceships was directly proportionate to the spaceships' power.
"Also, look, they only have three spaceships. We have more than ten times that number. We will be able to beat them with ease. What are you guys panicking for? Embarrassing." Kikiga shook his head.
The rest thought that what Kikiga said made sense and felt relieved.
"Chieftain, what should we do now?"
"Looking at their spaceship, it's clear they're from a small civilization that has just started to travel the universe and don't know what fear is," Kikiga replied, "which is why they dared track our signal. Humph, as seniors, we have to teach them a lesson and make them understand the taste of fear."
This time, an operator smiled and said, "Chieftain, they've sent us a message and said that they want to communicate with us."
Hearing this, everyone laughed and agreed with Kikiga—only a civilization that had just started exploring the universe would be this naive.
"What did they say?"
"Let me see… They said that they belong to the Black Star Army and told us to immediately deactivate our weapons and not resist…" This person burst into laughter before he finished the sentence.
As if the others were infected by him, almost everyone on the bridge burst into laughter. The room's atmosphere was filled with joy.
"Hahaha…" Kikiga could not stop laughing. "Quick, reply to them."
"What do we say?"
"Ask them if they have heard of us, the Great Cosmos Corps. Hahaha…" Kikiga was almost tearing up from laughing.
The Black Star Army? What sh*t is that? Never even heard of it, yet they think they're famous?
Don't they know that the Great Cosmos Corps is the ruler of the universe? Wanting us to stop resisting and give up… I've never heard such a funny joke.
Kikiga gasped for air and suppressed his laughter. "These arrogant natives really are the fountain of joy, always makes me laugh…"
Before he could finish, he almost burst out laughing again.
"Chieftain, should we attack?"
"Hmm, eliminate them… no, don't kill them. Capture them and give them to the Great Emperor. The Great Emperor will definitely think these guys are funny, too." Kikiga guffawed.
As everyone was laughing nonstop, the team captain of the operators felt his heart skip a beat as he noticed something that they had previously overlooked.
When they came into contact with natives in the past, there was no way to communicate with them as they had different languages.
These natives, despite meeting us for the first time… why do they know our language? Why are they able to communicate with us‽
He trembled. As he was about to report this abnormality, those three spaceships changed.
The cabin of those three spaceships opened, and black machinery gushed out. Suddenly, blue-gold lightning appeared out of nowhere and landed on every machine, causing a blinding surge of light.
"What are those?"
The smile on the faces of Kikiga and the others disappeared as they watched this with confusion.
The next moment, a silver beam of light instantly penetrated the shield of their main ship and its body, leaving a huge hole!
The 'tough' spaceship armor could not have been more fragile in the face of this energy beam!
Everyone was stunned. Before they could react, the violent trembling shook them onto the ground.
The deafening alarm rang instantly, and the lights inside the spaceship all turned red.
Woo!
"Alert! Alert! Shield broken, hull damage increasing, 7.8%… 8.6%… 10.3%… Please take measures as soon as possible! Please take measures as soon as possible!"
With one attack, the main ship's defense had been completely obliterated.
Kikiga did not even climb up. He sat on the ground, his eyes filled with disbelief, his face covered in despair.
What… just happened‽

"Did you fight with Karashima?"
Lila recalled what happened this morning and shook her head. "I just told him what I'm honestly thinking right now."
"That you want to focus on your career?"
"Mmm," Lila smiled. "Don't get me wrong; I'm not breaking up with him. But I just think we could use a breather. We see each other constantly every day. I feel the warmth when I'm with him. I don't feel so empty. At the beginning, it was like that, but these days even when we are together, I feel so empty. 'Ah, there is something wrong.'"
"For you, singing was a means to connect you to your mother. But, that changed, didn't it? You grew to love it," Arata trailed off. "Karashima has been distracting you too much."
Lila laughed, "You noticed?"
Arata sighed, "Of course. Damn him, wasting your potential like that. But well, I hate to admit it. He really is a good manager; he got you pretty good offers. You even expanded your name abroad. However, when it comes to the Dream Stars tournament, it doesn't feel like you are advancing too much."
"I don't want to remain stagnant. I want to win."
"That's why your…"
"Yes," Lila closed her eyes. "The times I have with Haruka may be cut short from now on. But, that's okay with me. Because right now, there is something more important."
….
Two days later - K Studios - Waiting room 5
"I told you to let me focus from now on. So what are your hands doing?" Lila exclaimed.
"I can't even steal a kiss?" Haruka looked genuinely hurt.
'She spoilt him way too much.' Lila thought. But it's way too late; the damage has been done. "A hug, and nothing more." She wanted to return to fix the arrangements on the score quickly. Lila took a deep breath, and wrapped her arms around his neck, hugging him tightly. Only two days have passed since then. For the last two days, she's been awfully busy, so she hasn't seen him other than when they are rehearsing in the studio.
"Haruka, did you miss me?"
"Yeah," his lips grazed against her ear. "But I do understand your feelings. I also want to see you win the Dream stars tournament."
Lila smiled, "This is the first time you're admitting your biasness, Mr. Judge."
"Lila, my wife…won't you let me kiss you?"
Geez, why is he so hopeless for? Lila leaned forward but only lightly brushed their lips.
...
- Lounge-
"Alright, Karashima, you start," Arata said.
"Huh? Why me, what a pain."
However, despite Haruka's reluctance, he started to sing. Lila's eyes widened.
W--ah--?!!! Haruka's singing has gotten so much better. It's so much better; how can that be? Maybe he's secretly been practicing? Haruka always tells her that he would rather work behind the scenes. That 
The others too seemed to be immersed in his singing. Of course, anybody would be, there is something different in his voice.
Arata looked disappointed, and Lila immediately knew why. If Haruka turned out to be a bad singer, he could use it as an excuse to criticize him. Once Haruka was finished singing, he looked over at her.
"Falling for me again?"
"Ah-huh," Lila nodded her head dumbly.
Haruka blinked surprised before he flicked her forehead, "Idiot. Don't agree."
Eh? Isn't she supposed to agree? How come? Lila reached out unconsciously, and Haruka grabbed hold of her hand. "Make your mind up, no or yes?"
Make her mind up? Is she really so weak? It's only been a couple of days, what happened to all that talk? But she really wants..
Arata suddenly stood up, "Alright, let's all take a break."
Ryunosuke nodded, "I agree, okay, Oujiro - I'll teach you something nice, come along."
Once they left the room, Lila fidgeted nervously in her seat. Haruka's arms wrapped around her, "Do you regret it?"
"Regret?"
"Our relationship," Haruka trailed off. "I'm aware that we've done it more than go on dates or anything. While I do treat you especially, we…"
Lila shook her head, "I don't regret it, while at times I questioned what we were doing. Well uhh, I knew what we were doing but like I've always thought how much of a horny idiot you are.."
Haruka laughed, "Horny, indeed." He reached over and grabbed hold of her hand. "Lila, from now on, I do want things to be different."
She perked up at this comment, "Different?" As she said those words, she was pushed down onto the ground. Thump. Thump. It was that annoying heartbeat again. She always found it stupid whenever she got nervous around Haruka. Why does she have to get so nervous? How many things have they done together, how much have they gone through?
'It's probably because she really likes him..'
That must be it, if she didn't really like him - then she wouldn't act like such an idiot whenever they are together.
"Um, is this different?" Lila laughed, "I don't think so."
"Mmmm, sorry, but yeah I've held it back for a while. Can you bear with me my wife?"
"Yes…" Lila ran her hand through his hair, "Haruka, thank you."
"Yeah," Haruka smiled, "You smell nice…"
Something feels different. "Haruka I um.."
"Don't be nervous. I'll get nervous too."
...
Still, Lila took a sideways glance at her husband. It must be a crime for somebody to be born this good looking. Quite some time has passed since she last looked at him like this. Lila reached over and played with his hair, "Say, Haruka?"
"What's wrong my wife?"
Wife? Lila beamed happily, "I was thinking, I want to go on a date soon. Can we?"
"A date? How about a honeymoon?"
Lila laughed, "Not yet. We can do that another time."
Haruka brought her closer, "Happy?"
"Mm," when was the last time she felt so blissful after they slept together? She feels very content and happy now. "Can things always be like this?" Since they came here, far too many things have happened. It feels like their relationship has turned into a complete mess. Lila wanted things to return to those peaceful days in London.
"So, you want to have sex every day like before?" Haruka must have read her mind about the London thing, "We did it a lot back there."
Lila hits him with her hands. "It's not like that!" she exclaimed. "Even if we do it, I want it to be like this." She wants to feel content and happy, not needy and desperate.
__
Three hours later- 3:00 PM - Lila's apartment
If one were to ask him whether or not he was bothered by something, Haruka would always casually brush it off, it isn't because he wishes to avoid those topics. It isn't because he's lazy either - though he was sure people thought so otherwise. No, that's not it. It's because when it concerns expressing his feelings, he's never once been good at it. He can never convey it through words, and that's why his actions have always contradicted his words.
When he sees her again after all these years, she's different. He knew that she wouldn't be the same person as when he left, but he still hoped.
She's stronger now, more grown-up. When he left, she had been a girl, how she's a woman. He doesn't know what to think. People change; people evolve.
When she sees him for the first time in years, she lights up. That star, that sun, that light. She runs over to hug him. It feels like coming home. Feeling the girl stir, he brushes his hands gently against the girl's black locks.
"Haruka?"
"I'm here, are you hungry?" It always surprised him how gentle his voice sounded when he was with her.
"No…" she trails off and pulls a face as though she was carefully thinking of something. Before he feels the black-haired girl's hand against his, " I do want to keep this hand for a bit, though."
He chuckles at the girl's actions. A childlike innocence that never seems to disappear, and yet eventually. Eventually, that innocence will be soiled. .Haruka's gaze dimmed at the thought. No matter what happens, he can't let them win.
She hides it from him all too well.
She avoided mentioning it out of concern - not out of guilt. She hasn't done anything wrong. It's for the filming, Haruka understands that all too well and yet it doesn't stop him from having bitter and negative feelings inside. It's disgusting, jealousy. But what's probably even more corrupt is the entertainment industry. Haruka was aware of what conditions the movie was created in - under what circumstances the decisions for the casting came about.
Haruka pulled the girl into his arms, sensing that something was wrong, " Are you alright?"
"Hold me, Haruka."

Even if he were to apologize, it would probably confuse her. But if he were ever to explain the circumstances - he knew she would end up doing something that could cost her, her career and that is something he won't let her do. Since she finally has a dream to call her own, he won't say it.
Even if it continues haunting him.
