I reached out and grabbed Min's shaft, my hand working steadily up and down his cock. It was warm and hard between my fingers, and I loved the elasticity and feel. Well, I had created this cock myself with the help of Pratter and Sandor. This cock would feel exactly the way I wanted it to feel, and I made it feel exactly to my tastes. Just imaging the hard thing plunging into me already excited me. It was big, but not too big. It was hard, but no too hard. It was the perfect dick for my pussy. 
"You know, Min, I've been thinking a bit." I sighed as my fingers worked over his cock. 
"Mm? Vesse?" Min asked cautiously. 
I moved myself, swinging my leg up over Min and mounting him. His perfect cock was now sticking right up under my pussy, waiting to impale me. I lowered my hips until just the head touched, but didn't slam it home. Instead, I teased the top of his cock with my pussy, squatting just enough so that it touched me, but didn't penetrate. A wet strain of lust, although I couldn't tell if it was his or mine, reached from his cock tip to my pussy lips. It was a visible conformation of how perfect our parts fit together. 
"I realized…" I continued. "That a lot of people don't tend to read author's notes and thus don't know any information about this story." 
"Re-really?" Min was breathing hard, the teasing being too much for him, especially as I started playing with his nipples, on top of two clearly feminine mounds.
"Mm… so I reckon a lot of readers don't know a lot of important details about my Tales as a Seductress." I sigh, squeezing his nipples tightly in the way he liked and eliciting a pleasing gasp. 
"Such as?" Min's face scrunched, fighting the pleasure my body was giving him. 
"For example, this story had already been out in entirety on machineslicedbread.xyz for over a year, and it is also the location of many of the writer's other erotic stories." 
"Vesse sell readers short, most know that." Min blushed. 
I finally dropped my hips down, letting that perfect cock slam into me. The warmth of it slid deep into my womb, and the feel was incredible enough my pussy trembled slightly in a mini-orgasm. That's what I got for being so teasing. In the end, I was the one who was most aroused. However, Min was flushed and breathing hard as well, so clearly it was doing it for him. 
"I'm not so sure they're aware of the blog whatsawhizzer.wordpress.com, where the author translated Arifureta, wrote Requiem to the Stars and Time and Place, and don't even get me started on his continuing series, Power of Creation and the World of Women, two very erotic and very different novels. Both have completed volumes that can be downloaded for free for all ******* supporters." 
"Of course, Vesse… aaaaa… it's tight." 
"Mmm, I'm not tight. Min is just too big." I tease as I rise my hips up and down, feeling his cock slid up and down inside me. "Either way, ******* support gets people early access to released chapters, full colored illustrations, re-edited pdfs, and some exclusive patreon-only content."
"Most reader, only want Tales…" Min shrugged, his mouth open as he panted in pleasure. 
"Ah, it's because they want to see me fucking my sexy wife." I chuckle, picking up the pace until each time my hips drop I can hear the wet sound of it sliding in. 
"Ahnn… t-tease!" Min cried out. "T-tell them… important things about tales." 
"Ah… I guess I should tell them some things. For example, this next chapter will be the last chapter of Tales of a Seductress." 
Min gasps. "Th-then, no more us?" 
I chuckle. "Of course not. Naturally, my Min and I will return in the sequel, Tales of an Enchantress. A story currently being written and released on machineslicedbread.xyz." 
"Ho-how many chapters so far?" 
"Nearly 50! Ahh… Min, right there… move your hips, ahhhh… right there!" I let out a cry as he started to hit me in the right spot.
He thrust his hips up into me roughly and a moment later I started cumming. 
As I panted and moaned, my devilish Min kept up the thrusting past my tolerance. I could barely talk, my voice coming out in a panting high-pitched moan. "Ahh… I can't get enough of Min! If readers want… want Min too… they should know about Min's story, a-a- a – aaahhhhh… a short side series following Min's origin and point of view through Tales of a Seductress!" 
"Vesse, C-cumming!" 
"Cum! Cum in me, Min!" I shouted lustfully, my tits bouncing up and down as I rode him as hard as I could. 
"I-is that all Vesse say?" Min demanded, his eyes flashing mischievously. 
"No… I have more… oh.. it's too good, you're driving me crazy with your cock, I can't stop cumming!" I cry out, my mind turning to mush. 
"Must say it or Min won't stop!" 
"Ahn… Mi-min is teasing too much, I'm really going crazy, but it's the most important part!" I cry out as I pant, erotic explosions shooting through my body as I leak all over Min's cock, my pussy clamping down in perpetually orgasm as Min penetrates me over and over again. "Next month will signify the official release of Tales of a Seductress the pdf. It includes this complete book, edited and formatted for ease of reading in a phone friendly pdf. It costs $5 to buy the book or it is free for all ******* supporters of $1 or more! Inkstone doesn't even allow simple bold and italics formatting, so it's a much different experience on pdf." 
"But what about future release!" Min demands just as he grabs my ass tightly, pulling it down until he penetrates me at the maximum level. 
A moment later I feel gobs of warm stuff shoot into me. It was Min's lust, magically converted into semen. It started filling up my womb, and for a second my eyes rolled up in my head. Min had to pinch my thigh before I could focus again. 
"Un… I feel it! I feel Min inside me!" I cried until he pinched even harder and I shook out of it. "Tales was released on inkstone to drive up interest for the pdf. Its sales success will dictate how quickly Tales of an Enchantress is finished and ultimately whether it's worth the author's time to release it on inkstone at all."
"So, if they don't pay, he stop writing? What Bastard!" 
"No, Min… ahn… it's so warm, I can feel it growing soft…" I relaxed, finally regaining my faculties. "Tales of an Enchantress already has 40 chapters out and will continue to release on machinslicedbread.xyz no matter what. However, if you want to read the completed book as a pdf, if you want to see TOAE and Min's story released on inkstone, or if you want TOAE increased in release speed (right now, it's been about twice a month), then you might want to consider dropping $1-$5 to support the author. He has many writing responsibilities, and so TOAS must prove to be financially worth his time."
With that, I lean over and take Min's lips, tasting my sweet and beautiful wife. Our tongues combine for a few minutes while our sweaty bodies heave against each other, the sweet smell of sex wafting from the pair of us. When we finally separated, Min gave a coquettish smile. 
"Basically, author greedy, want money?" Min summarized. 
"Exactly…" 
"…" 
"So, the TOAS pdf will release on 11/14/18. ******* supporters will not only get that book, but access to all other ******* content including previous finished pdfs. ******* will have various fundraising goals dictating whether TOAE will be released on Inkstone (Raise $100, TOAE once a week), Whether TOAE will pick up releases to twice a week ($200), or three times a week ($300). Basically, if there is a total of $300 increase in ******* and paypal pdf purchases between 11/7/18 and 12/1/18 (that's just 60 people buying TOAS at its retail price guys), then you will get the max releases of TOAE until this book is finished. Please support the release at *******.com/whatsawhizzer or visit the TOAS Table of Contents on Machineslicedbread.xyz to buy directly." 
"Sound good. What next?" 
"How about we start the Epilogue to Tales of a Seductress. Enjoy!"

After an unfortunate mishap with some stairs, I found myself in a fantasy world filled with sex and violence. Stripped of everything and turned into breeding stock by the first band of goblins I encountered, I turned to the only weapon I had available to me. Now, I’m a seductress, the first and only RPG class that weaponizes the art of seduction. I will survive this new and dangerous world the only way I know how: one person at a time.

Anyways, if you see any loopholes or anything that needs improvement and correction, feel free to comment. It will be highly appreciated. To tell you honestly guys, whenever I'm running out of ideas, what I do is I read chapter comments. 'Coz whenever I saw someone commenting on my updates, I feel so delighted. It makes me feel like someone out there can see my worth, and my effort is not going waste.
So shout out to those who used to give me some word of advice through the chapter comment box. You make my story a lot better and make my writing journey happier and more interactive. Thanks a lot, guys!!! I really hope that you'll gonna stay with me and continue to accompany Lingxi and Janus throughout their adventure as we try to work on this whole magic thing.
And have you noticed??? I recently changed the title from LEARNING HOW TO BE A SORCERESS into SORCERESS 101... I hope it was a change for the better. HIHI
In the meantime, that would be all. Thank you again, everyone!
God bless! (^_<) MUAH! MUAH! Y (*^_^*) Y
Lovingly yours,
Wolf's Bane

Also for those who are into fantasy romance, kindly check my two other two books.
"MARRIED TO THE QUEEN OF DARKNESS"

THE KILLING AT DISTRICT 12~ if you are into dark-themed novels like mystery thriller you can try this one out. Be warned that it was rated R18 though because some chapters contained murders as this one was about a serial killer. The story was about how a forensic anthropologist and a former homicide detective that had gone to seminary joined hands to solve the mysterious killing happening at their district


What will you do if you suddenly wake up as another person after you die???

What will you also do if you realized that your pet, cat, started talking to you???
****

This is the story of Mu Lingxi, a hopeless romantic teenage girl from the 21st century who transmigrated to another world after falling to her death. Together with her little black cat Janus, she began to traverse an unfamiliar world where warlocks and sorceress exist.

Due to a few unexpected turns of events, she ended up being engaged with a prince.
But she strongly believes in Queen Elsa's words before from the movie FROZEN,
"You cannot marry a man you just met once!"
and this was why she highly objected to the marriage arrangement.
She even chose to cross dress just to hide her identity!

On her journey to learn the way of magic, she got herself entangled with five young handsome men. Together they will venture the world of magic, love, and friendship.

"Living in a place different from where I came from, how will I survive???

How could a hopeless romantic girl like me cope up with a life surrounded by five beautiful young men???

Will I be able to hide my true identity until the end??"

"MEOW~"
[Oh c'mon, little lass. Why are you asking yourself that??? You sound so rhetoric....
It's not for you to say, but for them to find out by themselves]

Romance is a very popular genre in Webnovels. The first thing that come to mind when we talk about romance are the CEO novels. Even though we don't want to admit it, they are the mainstream romance stories in the Webnovel website. 

So why do people love romance stories? I hope you find the answer while reading this chapter.

----------------------------------

FattyBai: No worries, was just a bit curious. It's always amazing seeing how the Romance genre basically dominates the site.

Parasection: and CEO stories.

FattyBai: So I was sort of curious what the demographics on the reader's sex were. But yeah, it's a fair assumption to say that the ladies rule the site, lol

WWFire: Readers gender stats r ambiguous, it is manipulatable after all.

FattyBai: Unless there's this hidden group of guys who have been starving for CEO romance novels (which would actually be funny).

Parasection: But the sacred texts.

WWFire: All I see are genderless alien. *derp emoticon*

reinesse ♥: kek.

FattyBai: How do we pull in the female readers in if we can't write a romance story? *cry emoticon*

Parasection: No choice but to write yaoi then.

WWFire: We who read these kind of fantasy novels don't live our lives correctly pal.

CailinMatthews: *ghost hug emoticon*

Parasection: Give in to the demons.

WWFire: That's why we escape reality sometimes. 

FattyBai: It's like being offered a big cake and unable to take a slice.

Zehell2218: I think male reader have their own chance and market.

FattyBai: For sure, but it'd be nice to tap into both sides.

Zehell2218: @FattyBai I think I'll make fantasy romance so I can attract both.

FattyBai: I mean, it's not a bad idea, but how do you split it up? 50% romance/50% dragon ball z?


Parasection: The fuq that sounds like an abomination.

FattyBai: It does.

Zehell2218: @FattyBai No it's 80% romance 20% action. *joy emoticon*

Noveljunky: Besides Romance, what else do females like to read?

Parasection: BL, yaoi, drama.

Zehell2218: Still BL is romance.

Anjeeriku: horror lol.

reinesse ♥: @Noveljunky xianxia I think.

Noveljunky: Mmm.

Zenith: Well, need too write romance...kek

Zehell2218: Do female reader like to read apocalypse novel? Quick question since I will make fantasy romance in apocalypse.

[A/N: Sis, did you forget that you're a girl too?]

Totally Not Nano: nah oof.

FattyBai: @Zehell2218 Aww, man. But then you have to develop characters and write meaningful dialogue.

Zenith: I am probably gonna f*ck up my time trying to make a romance story.

FattyBai: We like blowing stuff up and fighting baddies.

Zehell2218: cmon it will be comedy. *laugh emoticon*

Parasection: The best thing in a novel is character development humor and action romance can be on the side.

Anjeeriku: Romance can be a great sub genre.

Parasection: how does one even write romance? I don't know where to begin with that genre.

FattyBai: I'm a simple guy, I see plot and I drown it in martial arts and manly stuff. Of course, I don't know what feelings are. Can you eat them to increase your cultivation base? *think smart emoticon*

Parasection: I've never experienced romance so i'd fail the moment i'd attempt a story like that.

Zehell2218: Actually, I like to write fighting scene but without romance my reader will kill me. So...yeah I tag it as romance! *joy emoticon*

Parasection: Fight scenes are fun to write.

FattyBai: I'm trying to break through into the "Immortal lonely sperg" phase~

Zehell2218: Very sloooooowww romance.

Anjeeriku: Please no abusive ML @Zehell2218 They're disgusting. idk why women like to read them.

Zehell2218: @Anjeeriku I don't know if girls who read xianxia will read apocalypse novel too.

reinesse ♥: I wanna write a novel like it's not easy to be a man after traveling to the future.

Zehell2218: @Anjeeriku No I won't make abusive ML. @reinesse ♥ same *joy emoticon*

Totally Not Nano: @Anjeeriku *cough* TBWWM *cough*

reinesse ♥: And an actual xianxia novel with reasonable characters.

Zehell2218: But without the romance it's bland.

reinesse ♥: Like characters, especially main character who knows how to adjust because extreme pride is not good.

FattyBai: @Zehell2218 Baby Dragon Truer words have not been spoken, and that scares me.

reinesse ♥: Some villains are really brainless. they can scheme, but they don't have a reasonable reason to do so

Zenith: Kek.

Zehell2218: @Zenith gramps I have idea for fantasy romance lemme tell you after I finish writing and see if it's interesting or not.

Zenith: Get the MC u desire! Yeah @Zehell2218 

FattyBai: I fear becoming a more wholesome and fleshed out human being. Please no development.

Zehell2218: @Zenith It's ok. Just want to see if people will find this good or not. *joy emoticon*

Totally Not Nano: I think there's a formula in getting famous as a writer.

[A/N: Oh? Such formula exist? Teach me Senpai!]

Totally Not Nano: Let's debate about it. *thinking emoticon*

Parasection: The formula is write romance and you're set.

Totally Not Nano: Any genre + xxxxxxx = top 1.

[A/N: Today… I lost faith in humanity.]

Noveljunky: If you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back.

Moonbirth: Write a lot. Write everyday. Post a lot everyday... write about what readers want to read about.

Anjeeriku: Write a lot. be a slave. Lol

Elyon knew that "Romance" is not his strong point. He writes a fantasy story with romance, but he can't tell if the romance will be able to attract female readers. Out of curiosity, he asked some of his fellow authors the question "Why do you read romance stories?"

Here are their answers…

Kyosei: Because I am single. 

Reili: To fill my empty void of a love life.

Minrei: Because romance let you feel what is to be loved, plus it is universal you dont need to learn magic or cultivation in order to read.

Bajj: Due to lack of romance irl.

Murakami: I read because I enjoy the friction and conflict between the FL and ML. The insistence vs resistance is naisu.

Qin: I reads romance only for ideas and info.

VlassisBehrakis: I don't read romance novels.

[A/N: Oof I asked the wrong person.]

Elyon then  ̶a̶m̶b̶u̶s̶h̶e̶d̶ asked some readers about their opinion about romance novels.

Yin: I read romance novels because I want that kind of drama to happen to me in real life. But I know it will never happen haha.

A Certain Irresistible Meowlin: I wonder why? And I do read romance novels. Though the chance of me dropping them is also the highest out of all the genres. Every so often I come across a scene that makes me just want to squeal and fangirl. 

----------------------------------

Elyon decided to dig deeper and asked a few of his senior "romance authors" some questions about their reason for writing romance stories.

The first question is… Why did you choose to write Romance Stories?

Anjeeriku: I'm comfortable writing romance stories compared to other genres. I'm a helpless romantic person and I like novels that can invoke other people's feelings.

Bajj: First of all, I like reading romance story. It was the reason why I read books before and reading other genres comes after. All in all, due to these romance fiction books, I got the opportunity to read more great books with different genre.

MishaK: That's what I read, so write that too.

Zehell2218: Because as reader, I want to read romance novel so when I write, I write romance since my motto is I write what I want to read.

Ikazainudin: The easiest genre. Everyone can relate.

End_of_Era: It wasn't a full on Romance, it was slice of life with romance which I feel was necessary with progression of the characters.

----------------------------------


The second question… When you were making your ML and FL, did you imagine yourself as the lead of your story at any given point in time?

Anjeeriku: I would be a liar if I said no. There were instances that I'd put myself in my FL's shoes. Whenever that happens, my writing feels more passionate and truthful that sometimes it was hard to know where my fl starts and where I end. 

Shen Yi, LMD's ML was based on a person I've lost, The One That Got Away so it was sometimes hard not to self-insert whenever there were scenes that need to invoke feelings from readers. 

Bajj: I believe that every character the author was making and breathing life into it, a part of him/her is added to its character. But me imagining of being the ML/FL, never. I'm too pure for that. Kek

MishaK: Yes I did but sometimes. Otherwise you can't infuse emotions in your characters. It is important to understand your characters.

Zehell2218: Yes, I imagine myself as the lead. Of course, I tweak it a bit, such as in age and appearance. But mostly, the characteristics is similar to me.

Ikazainudin: FL and ML character based on what I want to be irl. Yup. I imagine that will be my love story.

End_of_Era: Yes, my leads had some ocassional self insertion.

----------------------------------

The third question… If you were to choose some other genre aside from romance, what would you pick?

Anjeeriku: Fantasy. I always look up to those authors who can write fantasy stories/novels well. I believe writing a fantasy novel is harder than writing romance. 

[A/N: Ahem! 10 points to Griffindor!]

Bajj: Horror/thriller/Action. Read GGGB godamnit! [Good Girl Gone Bad]

MishaK: I am writing a Fantasy romance aside from regular vanilla romance *smile emoticon*

Zehell2218: Fantasy, magical realism, fan fiction.

Ikazainudin: Psychological/horror and maybe children story.

End_of_Era: The new genre I'm writing is fantasy/violent .

----------------------------------


The fourth and final question… If you were to give a message to your beloved readers, what would it be?

Anjeeriku: I'm sorry for not being inconsistent with updates. Y'all know I love you, but a little consideration and patience as I face this rough patch in my life would be very much appreciated.

Bajj: Vote me please :* mass release comes after, deal?

[A/N: Oof!]

MishaK: Be responsible in reviewing the book you are reading. Authors love to listen from their readers. So talk to them.

Zehell2218: Beloved reader, your author here is working hard to provide your daily dose so pliz pretty pliz, read my chapter using paid SS since I don't get even a penny for free SS. 

Tips: use free SS on translation novel. The translator still get money and use paid SS on original novel so we can get a bit money to continue living *wink*

Ikazainudin: I want readers to know, that love, hope and miracles exist. Be open and value each moment of your life like the MC's did.


----------------------------------

Author's Thoughts

Hello Guys! I hope you enjoyed this chapter of WWCG. Personally, I've read a few CEO novels myself. I also read some FL stories like A Slight Smile Is Devastating (Love O2O), Hidden Marriage, Doomed to be Cannon Fodder, Transmigrator meets Reincarnator, A Mistaken Marriage Match: A Generation of Military Counselor, There Is an Angel in That Church (short story), Eight Treasures Trousseau, Grabbing Your Hand, Dragging you Away, A Mistaken Marriage Match: Record of Washed Grievances…

Ai~ there's a few more that I won't add to the list because it will create a wall of text. Well anyways, the reason why I read these stories is to get an idea on "WHY" the ladies love to read them.

Let's just say that it's a unique way to see a world in the eye of a lady (if you are a man of course). When done properly, the execution of the story can capture the hearts of anyone, even male readers. I believe that no matter what gender you are, as long as you find the story interesting then it doesn't matter whether you are a guy or a gal no?

Perhaps, when I'm not too busy to write my stories, I'll once again pick a romance novel to read. Hopefully, I will find another hidden gem that will bring unexpected surprises to anyone who are lucky enough to find them.

P.S I would like to thank my fellow authors, especially my senior romance authors who answered some of my questions regarding romance novels. 

To my senior authors, May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the Power Stones shine warm upon your face, and Spirit Stones fall soft upon your fields. (￣▽￣)ノ

How do you attract a girl when you are a girl cross-dressing as a boy?

Nam Ji Yeon has done her homework. She watches a lot of romantic drama. She follows the most popular idols and models and studies their styles. She works out the dialogues and situations. Making a girl fall in love with her wasn't as easy as she thought.

She had planned to steal her ex-boyfriend's clothes. Then, she abandoned that plan. Her ex-boyfriend's clothes won't fit her because he is shorter than her. Stealing is not good anyway. Besides, who would want to wear her ex-boyfriend's stinky clothes? Luckily, her elder brother is away for college. So, she borrows her elder's brothers clothes instead. 

She buys a wig and some makeup items. She spends hours on online videos to learn makeup skills. She needs to look handsome and beautiful at the same time. She must swoon the girls by her looks. She doesn't even realize that she could just swoon the boys too and have revenge in other ways. 

Lastly, it's important to learn about her targets. So, Nam Ji Yeon follows (stalks) her target in both the online and offline world. She feels like slicing Gong Ae Young and Kim Si Woo into small pieces each time she sees them together.

Nam Ji Yeon is dressed in faded jeans and a loose black t-shirt. Her fake hair is short and wavy. She wears brown lenses and a slight makeup on her face. Her chest is bound into a flat runway. There is no one who could say that she is a girl. 

She picks up the magazine at the book store and pretends to read. From the corner of her eyes, she observes Gong Ae Young and her friends.

Today, she will make a move.

"Ae Young, this quiz tells how much your boyfriend loves you. Do you want to take it?" Gong Ae Young's friend asks her.

"I have a copy of this magazine at home. I already checked the quiz." Gong Ae Young looks sullen. "It is 82 percent only."

"Oh, that is good, right?" Her friend asks while looking up at the other magazines.

"How is it good, Yu-ri?" Gong Ae Young frowns deeper. "Why it wasn't a hundred percent?"

"Ae Young, these quizzes are so stupid. Si Woo broke up with his girlfriend for you. I heard from Yoon-Seo that they were in the relationship for five years. I think, Si Woo really likes you." 

Nam Ji Yeon has complicated feelings in her heart when she hears these things. She doesn't shed a tear when Kim Si Woo broke up with her for Gong Ae Young. 

"What do you know? His ex-girlfriend is a horrible person. She knows martial arts. Si Woo told me that he was always afraid of her. He didn't know about her real self before he started dating. He wanted to break up long ago, but she was forcing him to stay in the relationship. He got the courage to confront her after meeting me."

Nam Ji Yeon grits her teeth in anger. 'Afraid of making me angry? He is making me angry now. Forcing him? Is it? Let me teach you a lesson, Si Woo. Don't worry. I will make you cry the tears of blood.'

She has enough of it. She walks toward the girl in a nonchalant way. Her every gaze is calm and aloof. It is the friend who noticed her first. Her eyes widen in awe. She elbows Gong Ae Young and says, "Ae Young, look."

When Gong Ae Young's face is turning in Nam Ji Yeon's direction, she drops her magazine near Gong Ae Young's feet. She picks up the magazine. When she stands up, she smiles casually at the two girls.

"I am sorry." She waves the magazine. She doesn't wait for the girls to speak. She goes to the counter and pays for the magazine. She leaves without sparing another glance at the girls.

"Ae Young, who is this? He looks like an idol." 

"Why Si Woo isn't handsome like him?" 

"Ae Young, don't be greedy. Si Woo is handsome and cool."

"But compared to him, he is nothing. Did you see his smile? My heart skipped a beat."

"Mine too...he smelled nice."

"You sniffed?"

"You can't help but notice things when handsome boys are near, Ae Young."

"I agree...I wish I could meet him again."

"Me too."

Behind them, Nam Ji Yeon is listening to their conversation. She comes through the back door and hides behind the bookshelf. She grins when she hears Ae Young's words. Step one is complete and successful. 

That's how the evil couple breaker Nam Ji Yeon is born. 

After two days, Nam Ji Yeon meets Ae Young again at a coffee shop. She pretends not to know Ae Young. Gong Ae Young comes there with her friends. Her friend Yu-Ri is helpful. She notices Nam Ji Yeon right away. Nam Ji Yeon is quietly drinking tea and pretending to read from the book.

"Ae Young, it's him again," Yu-Ri whispers to Ae Young. "It is fate, right? Should I go and talk to him?"

"Yu-Ri, don't be overconfident. With his looks, he might have a girlfriend already." Ae Young sounds irritated. 

"What are you two whispering about?" The third girl asks.

"That Oppa is so handsome, Nari." Yu-Ri points at Nam Ji Yeon. She pretends not to notice.

"You are right." Nari pushes her glasses on the bridge of her nose. "Yu-Ri, you should talk to him. It is the twenty-first century. You are the only one who doesn't have a boyfriend."

Nam Ji Yeon sighs in her heart. 'Girls, you have no idea.'

"Ah...but it will be awkward...if I go to him like this suddenly," Yu-Ri says nervously.

"You can say that you really liked the book that he is reading," Nari suggests quietly.

Gong Ae Young looks in Nam Ji Yeon's direction and says, "That book? Ah, I have read it. It is a horror novel." 

"A guy who reads a novel...he should be a romantic guy, isn't?" Yu-Ri giggles.

"I will go and talk to him. I know about the book. Then, I will call you two to sit together if things go well."

Gong Ae Young doesn't wait for others two to reply. She gets up and boldly makes her way to Nam Ji Yeon. Even Nam Ji Yeon doesn't see it coming. 

"Hello." Gong Ae Young puts the hair behind her ear flirtatiously. "I have read that book. I didn't think that there is someone else who also likes this book."

Her sweet voice and blushing looks could make any man's heart flutter. It doesn't affect Nam Ji Yeon. 

In reality, she picked up the book after she saw her picking that book a week ago. Gong Ae Young always picked horror and thriller novels from the bookstore. She also knows that Kim Si Woo was not much of a reader. That's why she considers the 'romantic book guy' approach toward Gong Ae Young.

Nam Ji Yeon stands up with a thoughtful look. "Please don't mind, but I have seen you before...somewhere..."

"We met at the book store." Gong Ae Young feels lucky that Nam Ji Yeon still remembers her face. "The Reader's Crossing bookstore?"

"Ah, yes!" Nam Ji Yeon smiles at her. "Please, sit."

"Thank you." 

Nam Ji Yeon gives her the book. "You have read this book by this writer? This book isn't popular. Usually, girls like romantic novels."

Gong Ae Young blushes a little. "He is my favorite author."

Nam Ji Yeon leans toward her with bright eyes. 

"My name is Choi Ji Min."

"Gong Ae Young."

"Beautiful name...for a beautiful girl." 

"Thank you." Gong Ae Young looks down at her hands shyly. Nam Ji Yeon notices that her friend Yu-Ri is glaring at them.

"Are those your friends?" She asks Gong Ae Young.

Gong Ae Young doesn't look back at her friends. 

"They are waiting for their boyfriends. I came to talk to you. I didn't want to be the third wheel in their dates."

Nam Ji Yeon tilts her head at an angle that makes her face appear most handsome. She has practiced her expressions and 'angles' in the mirror at home. 

"I see...do you want to visit the bookstore?" 

"Sure, Oppa!" Gong Ae Young stands up with great enthusiasm. 

Nam Ji Yeon smirks internally. So easy, got you!

Chapter 1

Rains are dropping beautifully in the sky. I watch as the rain drops into the cemented school ground. I am sitting silently on the very back of the class beside the window where I watches the rain freely. Our teacher in Creative Writing is discussing in front about writing styles making the lesson more boring thus made my mind fly and got occupied by the thought of how my normal boring life suddenly changed causing me to be so problematic now. By the way my name is Anna Marie Marcelo, a nerdy college girl who loves to read novels and watch anime. As a kid I always hated my life for being so boring and normal, I always wanted or hoped that just one day of it will be exciting and worth living for. Yet, when I found out my real identity oh gosh! I feel like I am in a major mystery thriller story with a twist. 

"I wonder why my life turns like this. Osh!" I said giving off a deep sighs of distress.

For a few months I have encountered and experienced much trouble I never had when I was still the normal boring Anna Marie.

---FLASH BACK/1 MONTH AGO---
I and my best friend Margie Grace Domingo are walking in the school ground trying to find our way towards the highway to wait for some public transports. Our subjects just ended and the sky is beginning to darken indicating that our teacher had forgotten to constantly check the time... again.

"Wow, just WOW! Sir is so stressing. Look at the time its already pass 6:30 plus I am so tired. Vacation is already 3 days from now, I bet your professors have also given you some projects?" Margie said as she fixes her shoulder bag in her right shoulder.

"Yap, you hit the jackpot! One big book report and a damn stupid movie review. Forget that, I'm starving. Can we stop somewhere... say McDonalds?" I said as I look at my friend's stressed look.

"We really are in sync, I'm hungry to. McDonalds sounds great." Margie said as she rubs her stomach as if telling me that she is really hungry. This made us both laugh as Margie took off her glasses and wipes it with her handkerchief then returns it back into her face. 

"Dude, just go to your ophthalmologist and get your eyes checked up. You said your glasses are issued way long ago. Look at your glasses they are blurry." I said as I look at my friend.

"Yah right, money dude... I ain't got any. Plus, mom's medication is our priority right now so glasses of long ago should have to do for now." Margie said as we walk at the alley where we pass a street light and a small store.

"Well, priority first right I mean-----." I didn't finish when my cellphone rings causing me to dig into my shoulder bad to look for my cellphone.

I was beyond dazed seeing my mother's caller ID, since the day I came to the city to study since High School they rarely call or text me so it is a shock as to why they are calling me in such late night. With furrowed eyebrows I swipe the answer key and place it into my left ear.

"Hello ma?" I said still in daze.

For a few moments I silently listen to what she wanted to say until she ends the call. Margie is waiting on me as she looks at me worriedly. I look at her with a sorry look on my face making her confused.

"What's wrong?" Margie asks still looking at me in pure confusion.

"Sorry Gie I have to head home pronto. Ma said they are here and there is something important they need to tell me. Let's eat out next time; I was really looking forward to dining with you again. How about we eat tomorrow... say Inasal?" I said as I smile to my friend who smiled as she nods.

Oh by the way I haven't yet introduced my best friend. Her name is Margie Grace Domingo, a nerdy like me who is also a lover of anime and novels. That, must be the reason why we are best friend... we have a lot in common. We continue to walk towards the waiting station where Margie will commute since she lives different direction to mine. As we wait for a public transport I was thinking couple of why's as to why my parents are here unannounced. I was back to myself when I saw Margie signed a public jeep that stops in front of us.

"Anna I'm heading first. See you tomorrow and... better prepare your savings because we will enjoy our days before vacation. See yah!" Margie waves as she rides the jeep.

I waves back at her as I watch the jeep going away. I sigh as I walk towards the private road towards the waiting station of public jeeps traveling to the street where I live in this small boarding house right beside my uncle's house.

I wonder why my mother simply give me the instruction to immediately head home and to come to my uncle Oliver's house, not to the boarding house.  When I arrive and enter the gate I see an expensive looking black car parked in front the yard of my uncle's house but I just thought that my uncle must have some visitors. I stand in front of the wide door unsure if I will knock or just ring the doorbell. It confuses me as to why I suddenly feel my heart beats too fast and I feel so uneasy. I took a deep breath and slowly knock since that is what I usually do when I go to my uncle's. The door opens revealing my elementary crush and maybe until now... Michael Adamson.

"H-Hi uhmnnnn Anna this... uhmnn want to... I just want to warn you. Be ready for anything that will about to happen... oh sorry, do come in. Anna, good luck." He said making me uneasy.

Michael step aside for me to enter but I am still confused and worried to what he have said. The relationship I had with Michael ever since elementary is cold, formal and yah pretty awkward. Even when he came to live with my uncle for college which is a total shock to me since I was really thinking that we won't be crossing path after graduation. Even if we are seeing each other every day, we never shared a very normal conversation. It is like we are embarrassed to even look or utter a word to each other. But what is happening today is a bit confusing to me.

"Ahmnn Michael, w-what do you mean by what you say? A-are my parents here?" I ask trying to hide my flushing face and to stop my fast beating heart.

"Ehmnnnn they are in the kitchen." He said smiling as he close the door.

I watch him walk towards the sofa to sit beside my cousin Casper. The three children of my uncle are there watching an anime in their wide flat screen TV. Ian look at me with a welcoming smile and their only sister Nina waved at me with a smile; I answered them with a smile to. Michael on the other hand is related to my Uncle Oliver's family because his father is the step-brother of the wife of my uncle. That is why he came to live with them for college. I also found out that my auntie is the one paying his college. 

"Anna dear? Is that you? Come on in here, we are in the dining room." I heard my uncle's call coming from the other side of the wall right on the dining room.

Clyra my cute 4 years old niece, the first child of my older sister Arsey and her husband Jack came running from the dining room towards me. Clyra is wearing her favorite green dress that I usually see every time they will come to visit me.

"Auntie...te!" Clyra excitedly jump as she grabs my shoulder bag pulling it off me.

"Oh careful there." I said as she run away with my bag in her hand and place it into the sofa beside Michael.

I watch her as she suddenly raise my bag upon opening it and emptied the content into the sofa. My notebooks, bullpens, some lecture materials and others are scattered on the sofa as Clyra look into it as if looking for something. When she found what she is looking for... a piece of candy I thankfully left in there unnoticed, my niece then run towards the dining room leaving my things in a total mess. I look into it and Michael carefully returns the items back inside my bag giving me one last look with a smile. I mounted my thanks before taking a deep breath and walking towards the dining room breezing myself for anything that might happen.

Julie was deeply lost in the streets of Europe with Robert Langdon in one of those Dan Brown's thriller novels. Her face was covered by the hard back she had just bought the day before and was already half way through the 600 plus pages story. Her coffee cup was half empty, her croissant half eaten, her eyes nailed to the sheets.


"Julie?!" a voice called her name which she pretended to not hear, she was three pages away from the next chapter. The source of the voice didn't call on her again, instead he took a seat in front of her in silence. Her eyebrows furrowed as she was finishing a few more paragraphs before she slid her book to one side and startled at the sight of Nathan.


"Nathan?! I'm sorry I was ..." she was lost for words.


"In the middle of a chapter? Don't worry, I'm like that too ..." he laughed softly, showing a row of perfect teeth between his perfectly shaped lips. "Are you alone? Can I sit here?" he was direct.


"Sure ... " being an introvert, she didn't know what else to say after that.


"Why aren't you in class? I just dropped Kelsey at campus and thought I stop here for coffee," he peeked at the the coffee cup in front of Julie. "Do you want another one? I think we should get another one." Nathan was definitely an extrovert who was more than comfortable in his own skin. He had continuously spoken four sentences in a row without needing a reply.


Julie raised her eyebrows and said, "Okay," with a smile.


"Just the girl I need to talk to, sorry to bother your reading, is it a good time?" he asked as he settled in his seat.


She needed a break from all the running around with a police detective, a conversation with a new friend was a good one. "No ... no ... I can finish it later, what's up? Anything I can help you with?"


"Actually, there is ... you know about my business in Bhorma, right? I was thinking if you'd be interested in taking your internship at my restaurant, I offered Kelsey but she said she won't be able to take an internship 'til next year," he was eager to get a favorable response.


"What would the job description look like for an intern?" she asked.


"I was thinking, it'll be good for you to come up with ideas for my company and the chain I'm building ... maybe we can sit down and work on a map so you have an idea of what I'm working on and the vision that I'm trying to achieve," he was down for business.


Julie was intrigued, it was the kind of learning experience she was looking for. "Alright, my internship will be for three months starting December, I'm going to put in my application for the campus to go over it and get an approval, so I'll need a letter from your company to state that I will be doing an internship there." She deliberately chose to start in December because she didn't really want to spend winter holidays with her family. That way, she can finish even earlier and start working as soon as possible.


"Does that mean you'll do it?" Nathan was hopeful.


"I don't see why not? If I can put in my ideas in a new business and help you get everything rolling, that would make my report more comprehensive, and I'll be learning a lot more than if I join an already successful establishment, in which I would probably fill in a post as an assistant or administration job, that would suck for me," she said truthfully.


"That's awesome, December sounds perfect, I will be down on staff on holidays, and you can even help me recruit interns ... well we should start mapping when you have time," Nathan was fired up with the idea.


Julie picked up her backpack and reached inside it, she took out a pen and a notepad, "How about now? I have time now, I'll just take notes on the information I need from you and then I'll map it out on my laptop later and we'll see from there," she was excited.


They ended up sitting there until lunch and another cup of coffee to discuss the basics of Nathan's business. He was thrilled to have her in his team, it was obvious that she would make a great addition to his company, or even a partner because she thinks like one. Even from the first time they sat down, she was absorbing all the information and processed it in that brilliant mind of hers more than anyone he had ever encountered.


Nathan on the other hand, had been working on building a whole chain of restaurant on his own. The task was a lot to carry for someone as young as he was and inexperienced. Even though he had some help from his parents who had their own successful chain of meat companies, he was determined to be independent and took as minimum handout as possible. He was more than capable, it was evident that he had the knack to be a dilligent businessman.


"I can't believe how efficient that was," Nathan's eyes were bright as sunshine, he knew right then Julie was the person he needed. In just one seating, they managed to map out the recruitment system, some purchasing system and already brainstorming about the computer system that the company needed to integrate all it's departments and eventually all their future chains together. Julie had a satisfied smile on her face, she too had just found an employer that she felt like she can work with for the long run.


Nathan couldn't shut up about it when he picked up Kelsey later that day. "That's wonderful news, babe, now you can leave all those tedious work to Julie and spend more time with me," she nipped his neck.


His eyes were still bright with ideas, he leaned over to her and kissed her mouth, "You're underestimating my skills babe, I can do both when I need to." And that was just the kind of comment that sends Kelsey tingling with desires.

"Mini worlds of endless fun await."
Ren Suo noticed that the opening sound played by the system when it was turning on had changed slightly. Previously, it seemed clearer and crisper as if a young lady was crunching tunefully on an apple; now, the sound appeared much more soothing, as if a young college girl was reciting a passage from the textbook calmly.
"As long as it doesn't sound gloomy and ominous..." Ren Suo muttered under his breath. He used to like watching the animation of "Thriller Paradise", but he would always end up skipping the OP (opening theme) as he was scared of hearing the different people saying "Welcome to Thriller Paradise" in various sinister and gloomy tones.
Ren Suo navigated to the safehouse inventory and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw his key still in the inventory, shining splendidly.
[1-star close friend key: +10% chance of receiving additional close friend-type rewards]
The description was typical and similar to that of the 1-star sleepy key. Ren Suo could make guesses as to what sleepy-type rewards could entail, but close friend-type rewards...what on earth could they be?
Could it be a 15-times magnification eyepiece? Or could it be an electron microscope capable of magnifying objects over three million times?
Regardless, Ren Suo soon found that it did not matter for now—his luck had not been sufficient for him to hit the 10% chance of receiving the reward.
He thought that it was better to believe that the promised rewards could actually be obtained rather than doubt the system. The game console could well be a holy treasure and would cut him some slack and increase his chances of obtaining the special rewards upon seeing that he was sincere and faithful. If licking the game console could earn him bonus points, Ren Suo was sure to do so to such a large extent that the console would appear to have been waxed.
Nervously, Ren Suo opened the treasure chest he had earned from completing the game [A Strong Warrior Ascends 10,000 Meters].
[You have used a 1-star close friend key to activate the treasure chest.]
[You have received the ability 'Unlimited Energy'.]
[Unlimited Energy—Grade: 1-star ability, Pre-requisites: A physical body.]
[Effect: When equipped, the player would possess unlimited energy. Although the player will still be limited by the maximum capabilities of his/her physical body, the energy recovery rate is increased to the MAX physical ability value of carbon-based lifeforms that walk upright on the third planet from the sun in the Solar System located near the inner rim of the Orion-Cygnus arm of the Milky Way. In addition, any discomfort would be suppressed within tolerable limits of the player.]
[Action: For every 1 second using 'Unlimited Energy', the player's lifespan will be shortened by 1 second.]
[Remarks: In the journey towards fame and glory, the Seekers trained hard and endured much suffering, depleting all of the energy that ordinary people possess. They signify the highest capabilities of ordinary people—but that is just the limit of ordinary people.]
"Eh...this seems like a formal explanation of the gameplay and settings..."
In the game [A Strong Warrior Ascends 10,000 Metres], it would have no big deal if he had just been a matchstick character jumping from one platform to another. However, it had been translated into reality by a female Seeker climbing the 10000-meter-tall Hyjal mountain, and it was highly illogical and unthinkable to have happened in real life.
Putting aside the last scene where the Seeker "Transcended Nothingness in accordance to Dao" (this was the explanation that appeared most frequently in the bullet comments on the screen, and this showed the increasing prevalence of online novels in influencing the spread of Taoist culture) for a moment, the fact that the Seeker could climb from 0 meters above sea level all the way up to the peak at 10,000 meters above sea level without any sleep or rest was sufficient to make people suspect that she could just as well be a robot devised by a mad scientist.
It is a known fact that no one on earth can survive without sleep, and only an extremely small handful of extraordinary people (less than five) can remain in a conscious state of full alertness for close to 24 hours. In actual fact, these people merely distributed their sleep times throughout the day, and thus they could complete one sleep cycle in tens of seconds when they closed their eyes for a very short amount of time. As such, it would seem like they could remain awake forever without sleeping. Regardless, the longest record for a human remaining awake without sleep was for 11 consecutive days.
It is also a known fact that no one on earth can survive longer than 2~7 days without water, and no one on earth can survive longer than 90 days without food. Nonetheless, these are extreme cases and in reality, these timings would be shortened based on one's physical and mental conditions.
Without a doubt, the Seeker's physical capabilities and mental conditions were those of the highest limits of humans. It did not seem illogical for the Seeker not to sleep or rest, nor eat or drink for five consecutive days...but as if!
In those five days, the Seeker was almost consistently expanding a large amount of energy as she climbed the cliffs and walked the forests. In contrast, those who held the records of not sleeping or eating or drinking for the longest periods of time would have been lying down to minimize movement and hence energy expenditure. Furthermore, there was no reason to doubt that the Seeker was fake for there was a video recording of her entire journey up the mountain, and there were even real people appearing in the video. There were absolutely no loopholes.
The Seeker had encountered people from Xuan Nation as well as those from other countries, and foreign video streaming sites on the internet were already bustling with the commotion about the Seeker. Some television stations had also conducted long-distance video interviews with people who encountered the Seeker while on their expedition journey. As such, there was absolutely no doubt that the Seeker was real.
The unquestionable fact that the Seeker was real was naturally the reason why people began suspecting that the Seeker was one of the group of special people who were termed as "Extraordinaires" or those who had "Awakened" and who were trending on the internet periodically. Furthermore, the last scene where the Seeker turned into a bright light made people's minds wander especially wild.
Now, with the ability [Unlimited Energy], Ren Suo figured that she was not a Practitioner but an ordinary person. The strongest ordinary person on earth!
"But this ability comes at a price...that's tricky," Ren Suo said as he scratched his head.
For every one second [Unlimited Energy] is equipped, one second would be deducted from one's lifespan. That meant that if Ren Suo equipped the ability when had 50 more years to live, his lifespan would be halved to just 25 more years when he might quickly age and die.
On second thought, Ren Suo figured that he may not even be able to live to half his original lifespan. Today, the probability of one dying of old age was low; instead, most people would suffer from geriatric diseases and die due to the immune system weakening with age. By this logic, after cutting his lifespan by half, Ren Suo thought that it was highly likely that he would grow into old age much faster and suffer from various geriatric diseases at a much earlier age and consequently die even earlier.
But I will still try it and see how it feels like first, thought Ren Suo.
Ren Suo opened the [Equipment] page and removed the currently equipped [Fighter Novice] ability. He then equipped himself with the [Unlimited Energy] ability.
The moment he equipped himself with the ability, Ren Suo felt that something was amiss.
He had felt lazy and slightly drained physically due to practicing the advanced breathing technique just moments ago as if an ordinary person feeling fatigued from a jaw ache after sucking on river snails. He also felt mentally drained as if he had just completed a three-hour-long comprehensive science examination and could not concentrate any longer. This was also why he had stopped practicing and returned to his game console.
However, after equipping the ability [Unlimited Energy], Ren Suo felt refreshed and alert, as if he had just finished reading a number of erotica books. He also felt physically energized like he had just ended work and relaxed like he had removed a few hundred jin of fats from his body.
Ren Suo stood up from the couch and started jumping around his house. He first did 100 push-ups and after realizing he was not tired at all, he started doing sit-ups while performing the advanced level breathing technique and continued practicing...
It was not until he felt slightly uncomfortable due to a full body of sweat that he stopped to wipe his sweat with a piece of cloth.
Ren Suo looked at the mirror and saw the sweat on his body as he felt just a hint of ache from his muscles. He thought that he had never felt so good—he could continue exercising and practicing!
"...It's actually not bad," thought Ren Suo happily as he unequipped the ability [Unlimited Energy].
However, the moment he unequipped the ability, Ren Suo immediately fell to the floor in the toilet as his legs momentarily lost all their strength! Fortunately, he was able to hold onto the washbasin with his hands, or he would have collapsed and hit the ground!
An immense, unending aching pain radiated through his entire body as if an octopus was attacking him. He felt as if his body no longer belonged to him; he was just a soul attached to a rotting physical body.
"Equip, quickly equip with [Unlimited Energy]..." Ren Suo thought Ren Suo. But he quickly dismissed the foolish idea.
After a good ten minutes, Ren Suo was finally able to straighten his waist slowly and crawled back to the couch like a baby. He looked at the ability [Unlimited Energy] in the [Backup] list on the [Equipment] page. A wave of fear rushed over him.
Ren Suo had never tried smoking before, nor had he ever tried using illegal drugs. However, Ren Suo knew that this ability had many similarities to those illegal items which were addictive.
They were both harmful and would lead to over-reliance. It would be hard to escape when addicted to them.
Ren Suo knew that if he equipped himself with the [Unlimited Energy] ability now in order to escape from the physical aching pain and mental tiredness, then he would become reliant on the ability for his entire life. He would never be able to escape from the grip of the ability and with it, his lifespan would indubitably be shortened by half.
With the ability, it was as if one escaped the hells and ascended to the heavens, and the feeling of a healthy body was naturally exceptionally tempting. Ren Suo even began to think that the ability could cause the brain to secrete more endorphins, for he felt that the ache and pain from his muscles seemed to be suppressed.
This was akin to having a tonic for a poison. If he did not want to age early, Ren Suo knew that he should only use this ability in times of emergency to save his life.
He understood that equipping such an ability just to last him through the night while playing games was a luxurious waste and he could only fantasize doing so.
After some time, Ren Suo figured that he still did not have the strength to head downstairs for his meal and decided to call the Jian Ji stall located downstairs with his mobile phone.
"Hello," Ren Suo said.
"All right," came the reply from the other end of the phone.
Ren Suo glanced at his phone and thought, did the telephone at the Jian Ji stall downstairs have a caller number display...?
Ren Suo sat up on the couch with some effort and opened the [World Store]. He navigated quickly to the [Free Game of the Month] section and exclaimed, "I choose you!"
After a night of contemplation and sleep, Ren Suo finally decided that the lucky game to be selected by him would be—
[Over My Dead Body]!

This was it. Today was the day.


For once, I was already in my office, sitting at my desk, when Ms. Kang came in. If she was surprised, she didn't let it show. Maybe she expected it, considering what we were here for today.


"How did it go with the thriller?" I asked, fiddling with my tablet.


"The introduction went quite well," said Ms. Kang. "The body was found a week ago at a certain cemetery in Tokyo, and the protagonist reacted just as planned."


"And?"


"No further developments yet, but it's been a week," Ms. Kang continued. "If she doesn't do something this week, then I'll consider the thriller storyline a failure."


"Let's hope for both our sakes that the protagonist is as interesting as you thought she would be," I said, standing up. Ms. Kang nodded curtly.


I walked over to the center of the room, and took off my shirt, revealing a body marked with tattoos. The black markings stood out against my white skin. I noted Ms. Kang's eyes going wide, and couldn't help but grin.


I closed my eyes, summoning my magic. I could feel it pulsing as I directed my magic outwards, forcing it into the shapes I had imprinted onto my body. It flowed smoothly into the ink, making it glow red. I let the magic settle, running through the shapes, learning its purpose.


I opened my eyes, and looked over to Ms. Kang. She seemed entranced by the entire thing, allowing her cool facade to slip a little. I grinned.


"Let's begin."

'Oh, level up,' thought Irade absentmindedly as she stirred from her sleep. Then she realized that made no sense.


She blinked in confusion and rubbed her eyes. Maybe it was a holdover from her dream. She remembered vaguely that it had something to do with gaming, but that might have just been the afterglow from yesterday's finals. It had been a hard won battle...


Nope. It was still there.


On the top corner of her vision, a small bar with the English letters HP written underneath it. Inside the bar were Arabic numerals reading 10/10, and above it was an Arabic script she could not read, with the Lv. 1 written in English next to it. Then, in the lower right corner of her vision was a flashing red exclamation point. No matter which way she looked, or how much she rubbed her eyes, they would not disappear.


'Maybe I should lay off the videogames for a while,' she thought, getting out of bed.


Irade's room was small, but neat. Then again, it was only neat because she didn't really have anything to display. A small bed, with a bedside table and clock on it, and a wardrobe and mirror on the other side of the room. She had a little window above the bedside table that looked over the city below, but it was too high for her to see out of without something to stand on.


At the very least, it provided some good light in the morning.


She got dressed in her uniform, – a traditional blazer and tartan skirt – brushed her teeth and face, and walked through the apartment into the kitchen.


"Ah, Zhang Wei, come quickly while it's- oh."


A middle aged woman stood behind a table, clicking her tongue at Irade. She was dressed to the nines; in a flamboyant red dress with matching heels, with enough make up caked on her face to make a mime look subtle.


Irade stared at the woman for a moment, wondering if she should rub her eyes again. Then before she could get scolded, she bowed to the woman respectfully, who in turn clicked her tongue.


"Your tie isn't straight, do it again," she said. Irade immediately undid her tie.


"Not here!" she said. "Take your food and go!"


Irade's eyes immediately went to the table; it was loaded with all sorts of food. She looked around until she found it, on the counter near the fridge. A small plastic bag, which she knew was full of leftovers. The lady had taken it out in advance. That was nicer than usual of her.


"Hurry up and go, you'll be late for your bus!" the woman hissed.


"Bus?" said a young, male voice.


The woman's demeanor instantly changed as she saw a boy, no older than ten, walk into the kitchen, still in his pyjamas.


"Zhang Wei!" she cried, as if she hadn't seen the boy in years. Irade couldn't help but roll her eyes as she rushed out of the room with her food. Cold dumplings, bought from the stall outside the internet cafe on her way back from home yesterday.


Irade made sure to have her jacket on tight while she took the elevator down, then opened the bag of food once she got out. The smog wasn't too bad today, so she forwent the mask.


Beijing wasn't too cool this time of year, but neither was it warm. Irade felt her fingers slowly freezing as she ate her dumplings on her way to the bus stop. She expertly dodged the people around her,  used to the morning business.


Soon, she reached her stop, and sat down at the waiting area next to the old lady that smelled of tobacco, and the young office-worker that pretended to look at his phone while ogling her. In the past, he had tried to make conversation with her when they were alone.


"Your Chinese is really good!" he said once.


"I'm Uyghur," she had replied.


Ever since, he hadn't attempted to talk to her, which suited Irade fine. She didn't mind the sneaky looks, as long as he didn't try to touch or talk her.


It's not like she could actually do anything about it.


She ate in silence, finishing before the bus came and doing her tie up once she got onto her seat.


On the trip to school, she looked around the bus. Old lady sat at the back, office-worker at the front on his phone, and there was the pregnant lady who had started taking this bus to the hospital a few months ago. She was coming along quite well it seemed, as she looked tired, but happy.


Above them all were their names, with Lv. 0 next to them.


'Feng Guo,' she noted the name of the pervert, before looking out the window. Usually, she liked watching the people go about their lives as she made her way to school, the roar of the bus' engine somewhat comforting. Today, however...


That blinking exclamation point at the corner of her vision was getting annoying. It didn't seem to be a hunger meter or anything, as it was still there after eating breakfast. She wondered how she could open it.


As soon as the thought of opening it crossed her mind, a message appeared.


[Congratulations, you have Leveled Up!]


[HUD unlocked!]


[Daily Tasks unlocked!]


[Stat Points rewarded!]


Irade blinked as the lines of dialogue popped up. Miraculously, they were all in Chinese, instead of English like she was expecting. She read it all carefully, brow creasing with each line.


Stat Points? Daily Tasks?


What did that all mean?


Well, the HUD was probably just this whole...vision thing that was happening. But level up? Everyone else was at level 0, but it did show that she was level 1. How did that happen? What did she do to level up?


That probably wasn't the best question to ask right now. A better question would be to find out what her stats and Daily Tasks were.


Irade frowned, fighting the urge to swipe the image in front of her. That would definitely be a weird thing to do in public.


How had she opened the message before? She had thought about 'opening' it...so maybe, to open her stats screen she should-


And there it is. Stats screen.


[HP: 10/10]


[Strength: 4]


[Speed: 9]


[Intelligence: 10]


[Agility: 5]


[MP: 20/20]


MP? She had Mana Point, aka Mana, aka Magic? Did that mean she could use magic? For the first time since that morning, Irade felt a twinge of excitement about this strange impediment to her vision, but she quickly quashed them. No, she shouldn't get too excited.


First of all, what the hell was this? Level up? Stats? What was all these game-like terms invading the real world like this? Sure, there were stories about ordinary people getting game-like cheats in real life, but they were all stories. Fiction. In the real world, if something like this happened, it would be more likely to be some sort of mental illness manifesting.


That's right. Irade calmed herself down. There was no way this was real. It was probably just her mind's way to cope with stress. School was getting rather tough lately. This was just a way to deal with stress, nothing at all. It would be better if she did not interact with the delusion any more; better to let the delusion go.


As such, she ignored it as she got off the bus and started her school day.


Her school was a decently-sized building, though it only had six stories. That said, the ceiling was quite high for each floor. In turn, that gave it large windows, making practically everything inside visible. Irade thought it looked like one of those modern dollhouses, where you could see the insides without opening it up.


She went by her day as usual, keeping her head down and focusing on anything but studying. She managed to get until lunch before thinking about the HUD again.


As usual, she sat in the cafeteria alone, eating her lunch, when a boy suddenly sat next to her. Irade narrowed her eyes. What the hell was going on? There were literally dozens of other empty tables he could have sat down at. Why this one?


"Irade, right?" he asked.


Irade nodded, mouth full of noodles. She noticed his name on the HUD: Fan Mo.


"I've noticed you around for a while now," he started, which made Irade narrow her eyes. How? When? She was never in school if she could help it. Where would he have noticed her?


The only place Irade hung out was the internet cafe near the food district. But she never noticed him there, ever. And according to her stats – not that they were real – her perception was her best trait.


"Do you want to go out with me?" he blurted out, causing Irade to choke on her noodles. Instead of helping her however, he simply burst out into laughter.


It was only after she coughed up her noodles did she notice the other students recording the whole reaction on their phones. Her ears burned with embarrassment as she stood up.


"No thank you!" she yelled, causing everyone to laugh harder. She rushed to the bathroom before she could make an even bigger fool of herself.


Stupid. Why had she even said anything? He was obviously asking her out as a joke in front of his friends.


Part of her, however, was simply bewildered that this was even happening. Sure, she had heard from other people that this sort of bullying happened, and it was always shown in dramas and novels, but Irade never actually expected it to happen in real life.


Then again, she never expected to suddenly gain a game-like cheat ability in real life either. Not that it was much of a cheat. It was just a HUD, with her lack of stats on display for everyone. She didn't even have any skills.


At the thought of 'skills,' another, glass-like square popped up.


[Skills: Flight: Lv. 0]


She stared at it for a second. Seriously? A Skill? Flight?


From the Skill name, it sounded a little too good to be true. If only there was something like a description she could read...


Ah. Description.


[Flight: Float and move around in the air at will. Duration lasts 1 MP per second]


Well. That seems to check out. Not that she could do anything with...


Wait a second.


A plan crystallized in her mind, but still she hesitated. Could she really trust the HUD? What if it really was all a delusion? Would there be any way for her to check-


Wait. Of course there was.


The HUD said his name was Fan Mo, right? She had never met him, never seen him before. So if she could just get a hold of she school yearbook, look up Fan Mo…


That would mean her HUD is real, and that it isn't something her mind is making up to deal with her stress.


All she needed was a yearbook.


If only she had a yearbook.


Or a friend who would lend her a yearbook.


She glanced at her phone for the time, and washed her face. Still some time before class. Maybe if she asked one of the teachers they could lend her one?


'It couldn't hurt to try,' she thought, leaving the bathroom.

"This world is truly...boring."

The Mage King, overthrown and killed by his own people, escaped via one last spell. Reincarnated in the body of a weak baby, he sets off to conquer the world once more.

Except somehow, he has been reincarnated into a completely different world. A world with no mages...aside from him.

What is the point in ruling such a boring world? He might as well reincarnate again. Until the TV catches his eye, and he sees a certain animation from a far east Asian country...

Maybe...maybe I can do something here. Maybe in this world without mages, a mage is what is needed to spice things up a little. Maybe this boring world needs...a Demon Lord to rule it from the shadows.

If this world isn't interesting enough, then I'll force it to change with my own hands!

"A Demon Lord needs henchmen, so I will create my own!"

"I also Heroes to fight against, so let's make those as well!"

"Hmmmm...I like System novels, let's give a Hero a Gamer system!"

"I also like superheroes and romances, let's create some superheroes and make them fall in love!"

"What's this? A thriller? Hmmm...maybe I can make something like this too..."

 Adam went to the deck and teleport in the air while using his Observation Haki fully covering the area 20km with him as the center.

 In 5 minutes, Adam has found many mysterious and creepy things at Florian Triangle. From monsters which was taller than the Zunesha, to many ghost ships.

 But Adam did not disturb them and keep looking for the Thriller Bark. Soon he found it and land on a flat ground belong to the island the Thriller Bark ship carries. Ignoring everyone looking at him with their shock and horrified face, Adam use his Teleport Teleport Fruit powers and mark the ground beneath him.

 Then Adam teleport back to the Golden Yacht. 

" Ohh !! " Brook who was drinking his hot tea was shocked.

" HAHA.. I found it, i also found many monsters with height almost 20km, many ghost ships.. bla..bla.. " Adam said what he saw in this Florian Triangle.

" Ihh... " Nami and Koby shivered.

" So the things in the books telling about the Florian Triangle were true, interesting.. " Robin licked her lips.

" Cough.. lets go.. " Adam first touch Brook and teleport him at Thriller Bark, then Koby.

 Next was Nami and Robin, after that leaving him alone at the Golden Yacht. 

 Adam touch the Golden Yacht and soon he teleport above the ground where he marks, also above Brook, Nami, Robin and Koby shocking them.

 Adam quickly went to the keel of the Golden Yacht, and carry it with his one hand.

" Golden Yacht ! Activate Landing Slids ! " Adam shout to the Golden Yacht above him.

 Soon, the hull ship transform and a Landing Slids were out. After Adam slowly put the Golden Yacht in the ground. Adam look at everyone, Nami and Robin was calm. But Koby and Brook was shocked by Adam strength.

" Teacher, your very powerful " Koby said with worship.

" Yohohoho ~ I will diretly crush to pieces if i was fallen by it, im sure this ship was much heavier than other ship. Especially 90% of the parts were solid gold.. " Brook said jokingly.

" Ahaha.. Nothing.. Its just as light as feather.. " Adam laugh and said truthfully.

 Hearing Adam"s words, everyone felt their ears were wrong.

" Clap Clap. Then lets go clean up this zombies.. " Adam said clapping his hands and waking everyone.

 Adam, Nami, Robin, Koby and Brook look at the many zombies who have surrounded them.

 They first was shocked seing Adam and the others, but when they saw the 80m ship full of gold.They thought of their boss would be happy if they can bring it . So they try to scare them first and attack them soon later.

 Although the Thriller Bark ship was huge. Adam still can cover the whole place easily with his Observation Haki and Conqueror"s Haki. 

" Let me clear them all. " Adam said while going forward.

 A golden lights flickered from Adam green pupil, and a powerful momentum broke out from Adam body, with green wave of winds blew from Adam position as the center to the whole Thriller Bark. 

 Soon everyone at Thriller Bark except from Adam"s group all stop in place. From the Zombies, Gecko Moria"s crews, the pirates who lost their shadows and hides somewhere.

" The pirates who lost their shadows, come to my position if you want to live. Absalom, Hogback and Perona come too. Im sure you all read newspaper and knew me. " Adam attached his voice to his Conqueror"s Haki. 

 The people besides the zombies all heard Adam voice, when they felt the pressure on their body was gone. They all hesistate wether to go to Adam, but soon thought of Adam strength they all finally with their heavy steps went to Adam place.

 When Adam first come, they already spotted it. So many of them knew Adam current location.

" Adam what are you doing? " Nami ask confusedly.

" Finding a helper.. " Adam said with a smirk.

 Soon Adam and the others saw many people come and gather together not too far from Adam nervously.

" Thriller Bark Victim"s Association ? You all were pirates, am i right? I hate pirates, but i gave you all a chance.." Adam said looking at them seriously, then taking out many bag of salt from his Storage Ring he prepare the previous day.

" This is salt, spread it to all the zombies. With that the shadows will gone, and they will turn into a corspe. After that you all burried them properly, and then i will prepare food for you all and you can go away from this place. " Adam said seriously

 Hearing Adam words, they thought their ears were wrong. 

" Thats the first chance from me. The second was, fight with me and maybe you can get your freedom ? " 

        Adam words were calm, but the people still felt cold.
