A black-bellied idol trainee who is about to debut opened the door to the office for his contract signing, and finds himself in a different world, named Sartren.
Having no marketable skills he decides to continue working in the entertainment  industry, but:
*screechy song plays in the background*
"What in the world is that?!"
"It's the number one song, isn't it good? You're lucky that I had tickets to listen to this they disappear fast."
"Mama Mia." If any god is out there put me out of my misery, this is horrifying.

Then he tried going into drama and film, but:
"I-I'm speechless, all this was done in one room?" My eyes, they burn!!!!!
"I know right?! Isn't this the best film ever?!"

Then he thought to go into novel writing, remembering the plots to some of his favourite books, but:
"......"
"I can see that you are astounded by our literary works, this is the current bestseller."
"..... I've had enough! I can't bear to see anymore entertainment!!!" Who uses an essay as a book?!

A romantic bestseller, 'Our Impossible Love' is centered around the growing up years of a young Aisha, her journey of self-discovery as a woman and love. She is living with her brother and ailing mother whereas her father lives and works in a different city.

Entering the school, we went to the side of the class, the classmates and the teacher opened the door. The teacher got up and walked towards us, and at that time I spoke. "Hello teacher Zhang, sorry for being late from Because of me, Yuuerr was late, so don't you blame her okay? "

Without even answering the greeting, he said "I know that you are not a competent person, so no need to apologize" Then his cold attitude changed and he asked "Why is it you come from Yuming? Where is Zhuo Tang? "

Hearing that name, Xiao Yan felt angry and coldly replied, "This is none of your business, so don't ask next time!"

Hearing such an answer, Zhang Hu again began to coldly say, "I knew that you were mediocre, but not ...

"Enough! Your lesson has already begun and you are fussing your nose where you shouldn't!"

"You ... "

"What am I, are you a teacher or who? "

"Hmm Yuming come in .."

"Not Yuming but Xiao Yuming!" In a cold voice he rebuked.

The teacher's face turned slightly red, gritting his teeth, he said, "Who are you .."

"I am her father, and I advise you not to keep your mouth shut! "

Hearing these words, the teacher was frightened for a moment, then came to himself and turned away and went to the teacher's table.

Xiao Yan thought to himself and called his daughter to him, she came up, Xiao Yan sat down and said in his ear. "My princess, remember if someone offend you do you understand? "

"Yes daddy"

"Then come back and fear no one! "With a nod, she smiled and walked to her seat.Throwing one last eye at the teacher, he closed the door and left the school.

Half an hour later I got off the subway and headed home.

(Knock)

----

* And here I am at home, what should I do next, I need to find a job*

*And by the way, there were no more hallucinations, hmm how was it written there? Raffle?! *

(Jing)

"Fuck! Is this real?"

A screen opened in front of my eyes on which 3 by 3 images of tiles with the signs of a rash, * and what is it?, Hmm like in a casino,*At the bottom there are two buttons on one that says ' Play (Free) ' On another ' Additional rate'and to the right of the tiles are several colors with the words red - "Skill" Green - "Consumption" white "Special offer".

Paying attention to the tiles, I realized that they are of different colors.After all, he thought that if he went off the amount, then this is too realistic and detailed .

After a moment of hesitation, he mentally gave the command to play ... With (squeak) the inra started and very quickly the tiles began to light up in turn.After a few seconds, everything finally starts to slow down and finally settled on a tile with a red color...

Again with (Squeak) the tile turned over and on it you could see paper with a feather? * And what is it ...* 

As if answering the question of systems gave out sobshe...

[Congratulations! You won the Skill category:Skill - Bestseller out of nothing.]

* And what does this skill do?*

[Skill - Bestseller from it: Your skills in writing novels, poetry or other literary skills to reach the top.]

[Note: Skill Integration - Bestseller of Skill ]

After that, something clicked in the brain and countless knowledge about literature...

The wife left, left her daughter in the care of her husband, there is not much money left, and then he receives a gift from heaven, promising himself that he will do everything possible for his daughter's happy life, and also make a long-forgotten dream come true!

"666666666."
"The luck of this streamer is this good?"
"I don't think this is a matter of luck. Did he not say before that with enough attempts, the true drop rate would be revealed? Perhaps this is the true drop rate for those crates?"
"That's very probable!"
Everyone started discussing spiritedly.
No! This can't be!
Wu Geng couldn't believe this.
Begin!
Shua!
Shua!
Shua!
He continued and opened all the remaining loot boxes he had. However, what caused him to collapse emotionally was the fact that even after opening all the loot boxes the drop rate remained the same.
The final drop rate was confirmed:
SSR – 10% drop rate
SR – 50% drop rate
R – 40% drop rate
A rate that showcased Chen Feng's sincerity in helping the public, regardless of how one looked at it.
"How could things be this way…"
Wu Geng collapsed emotionally.
Currently, the expression of Lan Jingling who was viewing the livestream turned unsightly. If it wasn't for the fact that her relationship with Wu Geng was quite good, she would even have suspected that Wu Geng was playing tricks on her. She herself had tested the drop rates before. No matter what, the current revealed drop rate by Wu Geng was not the true drop rate!
Ten percent drop rate for SSR? Who are you kidding?
All the data couldn't match her previous tests!
However… how could one question him now?
Wu Geng had bought and opened all the loot boxes in front of so many people here. A whole 10,000 contribution points had been used, so there was no probability of fraud. Moreover, the seller was the Gene Production Association. This signified that the drop rate was something fixed, something that even Chen Feng, the seller, would not be able to alter.
If so, how could this have happened? No one knew the answer. Lan Jingling's expression was scarily unsightly.
Beside her, Lan Xing appeared immensely proud as he witnessed the released drop rate. Sister, look at this 10%. How high the drop rate is! Moreover, this streamer is someone sister herself found!
"Chen Feng is indeed correct…" Lan Xing muttered.
Chen Feng had previously told him that Lan Jingling would be looking for some online army to frame him. Originally, he had refused to believe Chen Feng, but now he had no choice but to believe in Chen Feng's words. This world was indeed not as simple as it seemed!
Currently, a huge uproar was unfolding in Wu Geng's room as well.
Ten percent drop rate of SSR?
No matter what, this was a rate one couldn't berate, right? If others couldn't get their wanted drops, it simply meant that they were extremely unlucky!
Some started protesting.
"Fraud!"
"There must be fraud!"
"This set of data is not right!"
"Did Chen Feng secretly alter the rates?"
Due to the huge public outage, the Gene Production Association replied promptly to these protests: The backend data and algorithm were all controlled by the Gene Production Association. After Chen Feng had started his sale, he no longer had any control over it. If he wanted to change it, he had to submit an application and be audited before it could be approved.
In other words, the rate had never changed.
Wu Geng was stupefied. "How could things be this way…"
Why was this set of data somewhat different from what Lan Jingling had said? He was even starting to doubt the authenticity of the data Lan Jingling had given him.
Shua!
He ended his stream and once again bought 10,000 contribution points worth of loot boxes.
This time, after opening all the loot boxes, he obtained less than a hundred SSR drops! Moreover, one of the SSR drops never appeared, while the others were repeat drops. In other words, with this 10,000 contribution points, he had actually failed to even get complete solutions for all 100 problems this time.
What a scam!
"So it's indeed a matter of luck," Wu Geng realized.
So he had been too lucky the previous time?
Let's try again!
Shua!
He reopened his stream and once again bought new loot boxes and started opening them. However, he collapsed emotionally once again, as this time, the rate was almost the same as the previous rate during his previous stream. The drop rate for SSR was still 10%!
Wu Geng was stupefied, wondering how this had happened.
Once again, he shut his livestream.
And once again, he bought 10,000 contribution points worth of loot boxes. This time, he only obtained 103 SSR drops.
???
Wu Geng was bewildered. What the heck was happening?
Since he could not understand what was happening, he could only end his stream early. He planned to look for Lan Jingling to understand what was going on. However, due to the demonstration by a huge streamer like him, a lot of people once again started buying the loot boxes. Once again, Chen Feng's contribution points increased rapidly.
"Done."
Noiselessly, Chen Feng deactivated his Luck Aura.
Talking about probability with him? What a joke! He would play that person to death, whoever that was!
As a man Luck Aura shines upon, even if you don't want the rare drops, you will still get them!
"It's here."
Chen Feng laughed as he saw the ranking on the screen.
In five days, he had entered the top 100 rankings.
This selling method devised by Chen Feng had proved extremely efficient. Wu Geng was simply the most popular streamer that had tried opening the loot boxes live. There were a huge amount of other streamers trying this as well. However, for those people, Chen Feng couldn't be bothered to mess with their drop rates. Regardless of how bad their rates were, the masses would still use Wu Geng as the comparison.
As of now, there were 25 more days until the evaluation of the final excellence award recipient.
"This is only the beginning…"
A smile appeared on Chen Feng's face.
He was simply too clear on the horror of RNG, especially when used on such phenomenal research papers.
Finally, a lot of people started realizing that something wasn't right as well.
"Look at Chen Feng's contribution points…"
"Damn, he is now in the top 100?"
"????"
"How is this possible? Weren't his contribution points still zero a few days ago? Only five days have passed, yet he has surpassed so many old senior researchers?"
"Among the people he surpassed is also this year's rookie bestseller!"
Everyone was alarmed.
They had never expected that Chen Feng would be able to use only five days to easily enter the top 100. At this moment, the horror of RNG was clearly demonstrated.
"Could Chen Feng be aiming for first place?"
"That's impossible!"
"Lan Jingling's contribution points are in fact an accumulation over the years, which she had erupted with during this year. So many new research papers were released this year. Her current year's contribution points are way higher than Chen Feng's. If Chen Feng is thinking of surpassing her, he will require at least one full year to have the least of hopes!" someone said in disdain.
"True that."
The rest looked at the rankings; their gap was indeed too huge.
However, by the end of the first week, Chen Feng had magnificently grabbed the bestseller position.
As a reward for being the bestseller, Chen Feng's loot box was placed on the homepage of the research institute for one whole day. As a result, due to the exposure, countless people started buying his loot boxes again. With that, countless people fell into this pit laid by Chen Feng!
Chen Feng's contribution points started rising like a torrent!
Rush!
Rush!
At any given moment, there would be someone buying his loot boxes.
Despite being scolded and rejected by countless people, his contribution points were still increasing without stop. After all, this was not a game.
Imagine this situation: A person had encountered a serious problem in the course of his gene production and been stuck there for many years as a result. Suddenly, the answer for the problem that had stumped him for years appeared and was being sold at only one contribution point. Would one buy it? Would one try buying the loot box? In fact, these people were the actual major customers of Chen Feng.
For the research groups that were stuck due to some SSR-tier problems, they would not be able to even pirate the solution. This was because, when their research paper was submitted, they would have to list the sources. These research groups made up the majority of those who had spent tens of thousands of contribution points on the loot boxes.
Although Chen Feng's current ranking wasn't particularly high, his growth was definitely the most terrifying one. He was surpassing everyone with an inconceivable speed.
Eightieth place!
Seventieth place!
Sixtieth place!
…
Rush!
Rush!
Rush!
Chen Feng's violent momentum shocked countless people.
Despite the fact that a lot of people had already started rejecting Chen Feng, despite the fact that a lot of people were starting to realize that this was a huge pit laid by Chen Feng, there were still countless newcomers leaping into the pit at all times.
By the end of the second week, Chen Feng was still maintaining the bestseller position for the week.
With the nonstop discussion by the public and the guarantee by the Gene Production Association that there had been no altering of rates, regardless of whether these discussions were scolding or praising him, this loot box of Chen Feng's had become a truly phenomenal item!
And now, Chen Feng had entered the top 10 in the rankings!
Incredibly violent momentum!
Even Lan Jingling couldn't maintain her calm anymore.
As Chen Feng's contribution points started nearing her points, she was starting to be nervous. Even if Chen Feng's current contribution points were still extremely far from hers… he had only spent 14 days for this! There were 16 more days for him! Who would know what could happen in the remaining 16 days?
"This can't go on."
Lan Jingling clenched her teeth while craziness flickered in her eyes.
She had been waiting for this excellence award for way too long. She would not permit this newcomer Chen Feng to snatch it away from her!
"The excellence award… will be mine!" After hesitating for a bit, she opened her communication tool. "I need to discuss something with you."
The next day, when everyone was still asleep, an unexpected piece news was released, causing an uproar among everyone!
Lan Jingling had released a new research paper!
----
Theorem of Gene Producer's Self-Defense Methods
Summary: This paper will talk about all sorts of self defense methods for producers. Also included is the guidebook for 36 sets of gene armaments and methods of obtaining them. Please remember, only by staying alive can one remain a producer.
Price: 100 contribution points
----
This was an extremely expensive combat paper! However… how had Lan Jingling produced this paper?
One had to know that Lan Jingling herself was a nerd producer. The same applied to her fans. Hence, she had a fixed customer base. The amount of new customers she gained wasn't too high. However, if she were to release such a document, she would be able to attract a different type of producer.
Lan Jingling was actually trying to gain new fans by doing this.
Some doubted her.
"Is she capable in this aspect?"
However, after some of them bought her research paper, they found that the gene armaments and combat methods contained within were nearly perfect. This was a research paper that was definitely worth buying.
Lan Jingling was, after all, still a famous person. As such, it did not take her new research paper long to cause an uproar. Her popularity had even started overshadowing Chen Feng's popularity. The masses started talking about how Lan Jingling had finally transformed, how this nerd producer had finally left her house, etc.
Only a small amount of people realized the truth. It was very probable that this paper had not been produced by Lan Jingling herself.
From the style of combat, this seemed more like something the producer at the second place would release.
"Did they form an alliance?"
Chen Feng contemplated. Or perhaps... a trade?
Lan Jingling had used an imperfect research of hers to trade for this piece of research paper? If so, things would get very interesting.
Report this?
Chen Feng shook his head.
That would be pointless. The masses would not care about this anyway.
However, due to this, she had once again widened the gap between her contribution points and Chen Feng's.
"This won't do…"
Chen Feng shook his head.
He truly had no time to waste half a month here with that Lan Jingling fellow. After two days, he still had to go participate on a mission. Since that was the case, he might as well release his trump card.
"Well, you forced me to do this…"
An odd smile appeared on Chen Feng's face.
The next day, on Chen Feng's loot box, several bright red words appeared: Limited Sale!


Chen Feng, of modern earth, had suffered bad luck since birth. After finding the legendary “lucky artifact,” his bad luck peaked and he became the only person killed in an earthquake. By a twist of fate, he found himself transmigrated into a different and magical world! A world much larger than earth. A world only partially explored due to the dangers within. A world where human civilization centered around genes. In this world, human beings possessed all sorts of abilities due to genetic fusion. Some went on to create world-changing technologies with their mysterious genetic abilities, while others went on to become undefeated genetic warriors with their combat genetic abilities. How will Chen Feng fare in this new world?

Ric siting in his room finally relaxed, he still getting used to this new home. After leaving the very familiar house he lived for a life time, it made it a little strange for him.
But he will get use to it as he did with the fact he went trough a rebirth.
Ric and his family shifted to this new house in end of January. In-fact it is a penthouse in the upper east side of Manhattan.
From a friendly suburbs to a concrete jungle, this transformation might be weird to others but its kind of a thing for the Jackson's.
They are more inclined to live in a comfortable but luxurious place close to their work than large mansions far from workplace, in Ric's case Broadway.
In-fact in this new home Ric has two rooms made into one unit with a bad room and a reading room.
As the film <Lucas> finished at early week of march, enjoying a morning coffee sitting beside the poolside of the penthouse, while reading an article publish about himself in <New York Times> newspaper. {A/N: Narcissist much}

It says,

"Where is R.R Jackson?"
Richard Jackson a name quite familiar in every household across US. If not by this name than by Elliot, Cole or Kevin. That's right, I am talking about that Richard Jackson,
the most sensational Hollywood actor,
the youngest top grossing star of all time,
the super genius.

We got to meet this young man with the phenomenal <E.T> in 1982, then he brought us <A Christmas Story>in 1983, <The Sixth Sense> in 1984,<Home alone>and <The Gonnies> in 1985.
And he have a up coming film in may <Lucas>.
Even though he only made five movies but all of them was big hits, making him the youngest actor of all times to have five consecutive hits.
In this five years all his film grossed more than 1.7 billion in box office making him one of the top actor with highest box office gross while the  three movies that occupied top 3 positions of the top 10 movies with the highest grossing is his.
Best part he wrote screenplay most of the movie himself.
Not only that he was nominated for Oscars for two times with double nominations for Best supporting actor and best screenplay wards but also wining both times taking Best original screenplay and Best adapted screenplay home shattering many Oscar record but also made history.
We all know him as genius screenwriter or the most cutest actor right now,
But how many knows him as R.R Jackson.
It must be Shocking to know that the famous and the hottest Author right now is none other than our favorite Richard Jackson.
But its that not surprising to find another creative talent of a super genius like Richard.
 What surprising is that this talent actually brought the actor Richard to us.
Remember <E.T> the film was for which brought Richard, the Oscar of best adapted screenplay. The film was adapted from the bestseller book <E.T>at that time. Both which wrote by Richard himself.
This is where R.R Jackson became Richard Jackson.
Do you know where everything started from ?
From this very Newspaper.

Astonishing right, But its true.
In 1980, maximum Kids if not knew other papers but  definitely knew this newspaper's kids column, as short stories which publishing getting popular along with the name R.R Jackson.
That's right at the age of five he started his journey as a writer but became a author next year with his first book <My Ocean stories> released and also became the youngest bestseller author of all times by his book <Finding Nemo>.
1981 is well known for its  book frenzy event as best seller after best seller came like <My Ocean Stories 1&2>, <Finding Nemo>, <Finding Dory>, <Finding home> came one after another, what was known as the<the Ocean Series.> frenzy bringing the name R.R Jackson to house holds.
Not to Out done with 81, 
In 1982 we have seen a large number of short story collection entering market, but it was still domenated by R.R jackson with <My feather firends>, <the animal world>, <The small's world> <The Land before time> and also the famous <E.T>.
But also the end of Richards journey in the kids column.
In 1983 he brought his spy world with <spy kids> and <Spies in Digusie> and a short story collection <Car's world> also <Casper>.
And from 1984 to 1985 he brought  to us <Spy kids 2&3>,  <Jack frost>, <Rise of the Guardians>, <The Midnight Express>, <Inside Out> which showed a unique perspective how a mind can think by Richards wonderful intimation and creative skills.
This series books and best seller hits not fixed him as one of the best child book author all time but also one of the famous author of all times. 
But where did he have gone.
As of the last few months of 1985 to now, no new books were being released resulting many of us wonder, as the most active author right now, what happened.
With that in main many tired to contact with him but couldn't as he was busy with shooting of his new film.
As everyone kept wondering and urging to get the answer to the question.
A new information was given to us by Richards Agent Ari Emanuel.
The information is a note send by Richard himself and its quoted.
"Dear my Rears,
Thanks for all the love and support up until now, but with a heavy heart I have to announce that
Due to ever increasing work I have found my self in a precarious position as a author and finally what I feared happened.
I have strained my writing potential resulting in a burn out and to fix the problem waht is required time and rest.
And for the very time and rest, I am taking a break from my career as an author.
And once again I am truly sorry.
Please pray I recover soon
Yours Favorite Author,
R.R Jackson"

Its sad that one of the favorite author is stepping down  as an author but we are lucky that the same person is still giving us wonders thorough is acting.
But for how long?
Will the same reason occur with his acting career?
Is Richard Jackson going through burnout praise or 
due to harsh reality of many jobs the case?

When people about R.R Jackson the first thing comes to mind
The Living Legend....
He is a man who brought storm in the worlds entertainment...
Idol of all aspiring idols... 
Music , Film , Drama , Books not a place he left untouched
They say he is a man with Midas touch or is he ......


First time writing... Open to constructive criticism...
Hope everyone like my story....

Disclaimer : I don't own anything other than my main character. All things written is nothing more than a fiction.

All her life, Hannah Lee has been busy with learning and working, worrying and struggling, and trying to get achievements. She finally gets what she want, well it is rather what she wanted.

At the time, she's thought being top in education, career achievements, success, those are the most important in life.

She has reached to the top in education and her career life is remarkable. She is a high achiever, hardworking and smart. Many people thought her life is so impressive.

She has been always at the top of her class when she was in high school. Her average G.P.A has been 4.0. She's had the extremely high IQ score, 160. She's got a double degree from an ivy-league university.

It would take several pages to describe her achievements and those pages would show only titles without a single full description. 

The thing is even though she seems to possess everything, in fact she lacks a vital thing . That's a romantic love. She doesn't think that kind of love exists. A true love or a soul mate is fictional stuff and a mind trick. That's the way she understands about love.

She is now 35 years old and a successful woman. Love is too childish for her even if it really exists.

*******************

Today, she is going to a signing event for the release of her new book. This book is a sequel to her last book which is an international bestseller. 

Typically she doesn't want to go to such events. She surely appreciate how her readers love her works; she just doesn't like big crowds. She would prefer to spend that time finishing her painting. This watercolor painting is probably one of her favorites.

Still, the publisher had been nagging her to show her face. He asked her to sit about an hour. 

Speak of the devil, her phone is ringing and the screen is showing the name of her publisher.

"Hannah, the signing starts in one hour. Where are you now?"

"I am almost there."

That is probably one of the most popular lies in the world.

She was actually giving the painting a few brush stokes. The clouds still lack another layer of paint.

"Don't worry. I'll be there. I gotta go now."

She hung up and put the phone down onto a table near her. She goes to her room in a hurry.

Three days later.
Seiji finished his vacation… er, his recovery and left the hospital. After returning home with Shika, he went out again before long. They headed to the bookstore together.
They immediately headed for the light novel section and soon found what they were looking for...
"Brother Monogatari"!
The cover art seemed both romantic and mystical. A beautiful black-haired girl who wore mystical attire in the Sakura Island style was holding a vicious demon's mask in her hand and turning back and smiling brilliantly at the readers. Her scarlet eyes seemed especially beautiful, as if they were shining and possessed something mysterious within.
Standing in front of her was a white-haired boy who wore a collared jacket. He was sticking both his hands in his pants' pockets, and he was also turning to look behind him. Only half of his handsome face and sharp gaze could be seen. It appeared like he was either looking at something behind him or gazing at the girl.
The cover art seemed professionally done and was quite appealing. The art was of obviously higher quality than the other light novels next to it in the new arrivals area. Any layman could tell the difference.
Seiji was quite excited as he reached out and took a copy.
Shika also picked up a copy of "Brother Monogatari". Something flashed in her eyes as she looked at the cover.
Then, both of them exchanged glances with each other and smiled. Their smiles contained the feeling of bliss.
Another customer in the bookstore, a man wearing a round hat, paused in surprise upon seeing such a scene. He felt like this was just like a scene straight out of a movie.
'Who are these kids? This handsome boy and beautiful girl, are they idols or models?'
His attention drawn to them, he wondered about their identities. His gaze was then drawn to the light novel they had both picked up a copy of.
"Brother Monogatari"… this seemed like a strange book title to him.
The cover art was quite beautiful… and he felt that the beautiful girl drawn on the cover greatly resembled this girl in front of him?
The man was quite surprised at this resemblance.
He hid his emotions and picked up a copy of "Brother Monogatari" as well. He began to read the story.
He was instantly drawn into the story right from the very start.
This novel had a unique style and excellent readability. Reading it would naturally cause the reader to be able to imagine what was happening, as if the reader was watching an exquisitely drawn anime!
The insert art's quality was quite high as well. It beautifully complemented the story's contents, helping the readers insert themselves into the story's world.
The man unknowingly lost himself in reading the story. He got addicted to reading and didn't even notice that the handsome boy and beautiful girl had left long ago.
"Dear customer, please don't stand here reading for too long," a bookstore employee spoke to him, but the round-hat-wearing man didn't even notice.
"Dear customer!" The book store employee increased his voice's volume.
The round-hat-wearing man was furious to have been interrupted while reading. When he turned to see that it was a book store employee, his anger dissipated, replaced by embarrassment.
"I apologize…" He closed the "Brother Monogatari" book. "I'd like to purchase this light novel."
"Thank you for your purchase." After ringing the man's purchase up, the employee gave him a glare of "don't just read books without purchasing them" before leaving him alone.
The round-hat-wearing man looked around him but didn't see the boy and girl anywhere.
"'Brother Monogatari'… Idle Dimension by the Shore…"
He looked at the book in his hands and muttered the author's name to himself as he left the bookstore.
Seiji and Shika both purchased three copies each of "Brother Monogatari's" first volume. One copy would be for personal reading, one for collecting, and one for loaning out to friends.
They were both quite confident in the quality of their own light novel. Still, it remained to be seen how well the book would sell.
Seiji received a phone call some time after he returned home.
The call was from Hisashi.
"Seigo, are you out of the hospital yet?"
"Yes, I've left already."
"That's good, then." Hisashi paused for a moment. "This humble one has already purchased and started reading a copy of Milord's novel that was published today."
"What did you think?"
"It's excellent, as expected of something personally written by Milord!" Hisashi gave him passionate praise. "I would really like to finish reading it in one go. It's such a pity that I have other things to do today. I can only wait until I have some free time. Just the part that I've read so far makes me believe that this will become a famous bestseller! Many people will become Milord's fervent believers in the future!"
"Thanks for your kind words. It would be nice if that really came true." Seiji smiled.
"Of course it will come true! Milord's light shall illuminate the world!"
"No need to exaggerate things so much. This is only a light novel."
"No, this isn't merely a light novel, it's the beginning to Milord's legend! As the First Knight under your command, I'm quite honored to follow your cause. I shall support you to my fullest!" Hisashi spoke quite seriously.
"Thank you for your support. We are quite lucky to have such a loyal retainer like you." Seiji chuckled and responded using the royal pronoun "we".
Seiji treated all of this as a joke. He didn't actually understand the true meaning of Hisashi's "full support".
After they ended their conversation, Hisashi placed his cell phone on his computer desk and contacted someone on the internet.
"What is it, Sweet Pig-dono?"
"I would like for you to help me advertise a light novel that was just published today, Tea Brewer-kun. You can charge me as much as you think is necessary."
"What a joke, how could I possibly charge Sweet Pig-dono any money? You merely have to ask. What's the name of the light novel you want to help advertise for?"
"'Brother Monogatari'. It's a new story published by Thunderbolt Literature."
Hisashi then contacted various other online contacts and had similar conversations with them.
He then adjusted his eyeglasses and smiled satisfactorily as he gazed at all the numerous conversation windows on his computer screen.
"My 'support' doesn't mean that I'll simply buy a few of your books, Seiji-kun."
Later that night, Mika, Chiaki, and Kaede all arrived at Seiji's apartment. All three had a copy of "Brother Monogatari" with them. They all sat down by the kotatsu and started reading together as if this place was hosting a book club.
Seiji read "Brother Monogatari" together with them as well. Although he was intimately familiar with the story, he still wanted to read it again.
He kept receiving phone calls or text messages from all his friends. They all wanted to tell him their opinions of "Brother Monogatari".
"Excellent story. The insert art is beautiful as well. Overall, you've done a great job, Shore-sensei." — from Natsuya.
"Your story that you wrote together with Kagura-san seems pretty good. I give you 9.5 points out of 10." — from Mai.
"This is a wonderful story! I really like the main character; I think he's quite similar to Senpai." — from Hoshi.
"Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. I recalled when you first showed your story to me a while back… Heh heh, I was your first reader ever." — from Rika Amami.
"Your novel is even better than I imagined, and you even did all the art for it as well! It's truly amazing… I'm feeling a little like I can't compare as an artist." — from Yukari.
"Your novel was excellent. It helped to give us inspiration for writing new music." — from Rion and Kotomi.
"Nice story. The insert art was great as well. I'm really looking forward to seeing if you'll draw manga in the future." — from Mayuzumi.
"The current reaction seems to be quite good. The sales numbers should be pretty good as well." — from Saki.
"It feels just like I'm watching an anime with how detailed your scenes' descriptions are. This is the best light novel I've ever read." — from Kaho.
"'Brother Monogatari' is amazing! I can't even put it down! I'm not going to go to sleep tonight until I finish reading!" — from Kanna Fujihara.
"Your novel is quite something. I can feel your spirit within it." — from Ryuuno Izawa.
Apart from his friends, Seiji also received messages from his fellow authors.
"Although I already knew that your light novel is the true deserving recipient of the Gold Award from the previous award ceremony, your story still exceeded my expectations when I read it. I can only admit defeat." — from Koushi Nomura.
"'Brother Monogatari' is excellent. It's so good that I don't want it to end." — from Miyabi Ishihara.
"Just as Nomura-san said before, your story is truly amazing. I'm astonished that you even personally drew such beautiful artwork for your story. Or was that your adopted younger sister's artwork? At any rate, it's a truly wonderful story. Most ordinary light novels can't even compare." — from Yuuko Hashimoto.
"'Brother Monogatari' is a wonderful story. Your writing and artwork are both top level. You're a true genius." — from Shousei Maishi.
"I really enjoyed reading 'Brother Monogatari'. Good luck on becoming a bestseller." — from Imai Yoshida.
"Even the main character of a novel that a handsome guy like you writes is also a handsome guy. Sheesh. It's also quite enraging how interesting you've managed to make your story. The insert art you did is ridiculously beautiful as well. It's certain to become a bestseller… remember to invite me to a barbeque after you receive your paycheck! It's best if you can bring your cute sister Kagura-san together as well." — from Tsuyoshi Matsutani.
Seiji was delighted to receive so many excellent reviews and well wishes.
Seiji looked towards Shika who was next to him.
Shika looked at him as well.
The two adopted siblings exchanged glances and smiled blissfully yet again.

-Tick click tick click

The sound of keyboard filled the room. The room was dark and only the light coming out of the computer could be seen.

The man working on the computer was old, probably in his mid 40s. He had a shaggy beard and his eyes were tired of life. He looked more like a beggar than someone working in the office.

His name was Ren. He is a author, no, he was a author. He now only write articles for a third grade newspaper, how could he still call himself a author.

There was a time when Ren was still a glorious author living his dream life. That was, when he was 21 years old.

It was the time when Ren was the most worried about his future. His parents wanted him to get a good office job which was stable and pay well but Ren didn't wanted to do office work.

The occupation he aspires to be ever since he was a child was a author. He loved reading books since he was young and that pushed him towards becoming a author.

To prove to his parents that he will be able to earn money as a author, he entered a competition hosted by a publishing company.

He poured his heart out on a novel and wrote it for several weeks nonstop and finally entered the competition. He wanted to win the competition but he didn't knew if he will be able to win or not but luck was on his side.

He unexpectedly won that competition and his book was going to be published. It was like a dream come true for him. 

He was able to prove to his parents that he can make a living as a author and his parents were all smiles when they saw the cheque he received for publishing his book.

Next was his book release, it was more nervous back then. He wanted his book to do well but he was also nervous thinking whether his book will sell or not but luck was again on his side.

His book became one of the best sellers and he unexpectedly won a literary award for it.

After that, his everyday life was filled with media interviews and autograph signing events.

He became famous because of this and he also started appearing on reality shows and radio broadcasts. 

It was like he was living as a superstar. 'The youngest genius in literature' fits well with the public, So he got more and more famous.

He was living his dream life but the problem was his next book. His next book was a test for him to see if he was here to stay or not. 

At that time, his success has blown up his head. He thought that as long as he wrote a decent book, it will surely be a bestseller.

He thought that his books will sell just because of his fame but he forgot that books sell through their content not fame.

His next book was a disaster. The publishing company did huge promotional activities to promote his book but it all went down in drain.

He was harshly criticised for his sloppy writing and weak plot. Several people wrote mean comments on his social media accounts. 

From a star, he was now just a failed author.

He received a major backlash after his book failed. His publishing house cancelled his contract and the parents who were smiling happily seeing the cheque previously kept saying that his decision was wrong and he should have listened to them. 

His downfall began from there. His next few books were also disasters. He wasn't able to write like before. It was like his talent had been stolen by someone.

After that, he did various things to survive. He wrote genre novels and he even worked as a screenwriter but all of them failed.

He became depressed after that. His failures kept stinging him in the back. He even tried to suicide but he was too afraid to do that.

He can only drown himself in alcohol. With that, he became a alcoholic. He lived like that for many years.

It was only when he reached his 40s that he was tired of his life. All of his sorrows were devoured by alcohol and he now wanted to live a better life. 

He again started to write after that. He wrote for nearly six months and finally completed a story but no publisher was ready to publish it.

He already had a bunch of failures before and no publishing house wanted to take that risk even if the story was good.

He again felt despair because of this but he knew he have to survive somehow. That's why he got a job at this second rate newspaper.

He had to write hundreds of articles daily just to survive but what can he do, only a black company would accept someone like him.

'It's already 12:55 A.M.'

Ren stopped typing and rubbed his sleepy eyes as he glanced at the time. The clock was nearing towards 1:00 A.M. which means that a new day had already begun.

'Today I became 47 years old. I am closing towards my 50s.'

Today was Ren's birthday and it was his 47th birthday and in just three years, he will be in his 50s. It was a sad truth for him.

Ren was already a old man but he didn't have anyone to rely on. He don't have any wife as no women would be willing to go out with Ren after seeing his haggard appearance.

It was another sad truth for him. He was really lonely.

As he was thinking of starting working again, the lights of the room suddenly lit up. 

"Manager Shin."

"Oh, Ren you are still here. I thought you already went home."

"I have some articles to write."

The person who entered the room was Manager Shin. He was a young man in his 20s and he is all set to become the next head of the department in a few months.

Despite being young, he was successful completely unlike Ren. His success can be dedicated to his good academic background and his handsome face which even managed to charm the daughter of the president of the company.

Ren didn't like talking to someone who was younger than him with honorifics but he had no choice. He was just a employee while the other person was the manager.

"You can just do your work. I am just here to take my phone which I forgot while leaving."

Manager Shin said as he went to the inner office to find his phone. After a while, he came back with a phone in his hand and while flaunting the phone in his hand, he said to Ren.

"Oh yeah, Ren. I just got the message that Misaki-san will not come to work tomorrow. It seems like she had high fever but the problem is that she had to write some articles about the new book which became a bestseller recently. I hope you can write it instead of her."

"I am tired and I don't want...."

Before Ren could finish his sentence, Manager Shin clicked his tongue and interrupted him.

"Ah, Ren you are a senior here, you should help the juniors and it's only a few articles. You also were a best selling author in the past right. This topic would be easier to write for you. I will be hoping to see those articles on my desk tomorrow."

Manager Shin said as he left the room but Ren definitely heard him mutter 'Did he really think that he is still a best selling author? Fucking failure!'. 

Ren was obviously angry at those words but he can only swallow his anger. He had been listening to things like this since the day he became a failure, he was rather used to it.

'Fucking more articles!'

While cursing, he started searching for information about the bestselling books. It was a bestselling book by a debut writer and it's been on the top for a while now.

It was a situation which was very similar to Ren's. A debut work becoming a bestseller was really unusual. It had to be a great book for it to achieve that.

'Sigh!'

After a while of writing, Ren didn't wanted to continue it. It was because he keep remembering his past while writing the articles.

His glorious days, his fame and his failure…..he didn't wanted to remember it at all.

He took out his smartphone and started checking the messages. It was his birthday but there was no congratulation message and he knew there would be no one congratulating him in the future either.

He don't have any friends and even his relationship with his parents have become desolate. He was really a lonely person wasting oxygen.

As he was looking through some online novels, a sudden message arrived on his phone. It was from a SNS site he frequented on.

It was a message sent by a person whose username was Rowling Panties.

Rowling Panties: Killeray-san, happy birthday to you. I wish you a very happy year. >_<

Killeray was Ren's nickname in that site and Rowling panties was a person he chatted with sometimes. You could even say that he was the only one Ren talk to other than his colleagues.

Killeray: Thank you Rowling panties-san but how do you know that today was my birthday? 

Rowling panties: It's written on your profile. Don't you even know about that? lol.

Killeray: Ah, I forgot about that. lol.

Ren finally remembered that he had written about it in his profile. The site had asked for his information. So, he had just filled it without thinking much.

Nevertheless, Ren was slightly happy as someone had congratulated him.

Killeray: Rowling panties-san, you know that was my first congratulations in several years. Thank you very much.

They exchanged casual conversation for a while and after around ten minutes, the conversation got deeper.

Rowling panties: Really! You were the author of that book. It was actually one of my favourite books. You are pretty famous back then.

Killeray: Yeah, I was. My first book was a success but after that, my career gone downhill because of my wrong choice and now, I am writing articles for a second rate newspaper. lol.

Rowling panties: Yeah, if only you would have made some correct choices, your life would be very much different than today. T_T

Killeray: Yeah, I wish I could turn back time and go to my youth. I will be sure to change my life then.

Rowling panties: Yeah but turning back time is impossible. Do you have any other wishes?

Killeray: Wishes? I don't want anything other than wanting to start my career as a author again. ^_^

After that, there was no more replies for around 10 minutes and Ren also got tired waiting. He was sleepy and tired. He wanted to sleep for a while.

That's why he simply laid down on his desk and closed his eyes. He was really fatigued.

After Ren had fallen sleep, his mobile screen lit up as there was another message.

Rowling panties: I can't send you back in time but as for your wish. I can do that. I also wanted to see what can you achieve if you really got a second chance as a author. Don't disappoint me, my friend.

That was the last message which made the beginning of Ren's journey as one of the best authors in history.

Fame, wealth, prestige, genius, destruction, despair, loss and failure.

Those are the eight words which describes Ren's life completely.

He was hailed as a genius but his arrogance led him to despair. From a genius, he became a failure.

He was just struggling with his life when fate gave him a second chance.

Now, what will he do after he found himself waking up in another world.

July 7.
Today is the happiest day of my life.
Since it's summer holiday, all the young members of the Xie family from every corner of the Flying Star Sector have returned to our hometown.
According to the tradition, this is the time when the younger generation holds a match within the family.
In the previous family competitions, my ranking was always very low, and I was sometimes overwhelmed by my cousins three or four years younger than me.
But this year, out of so many members of the Xie family, my comprehensive rank made its way into top 10!
My hand speed ranked the top among all!
My entirely family was shocked. My great grandfather and great grandmother summoned and praised me. My father and my mother were overjoyed, too, saying that our ancestors must have worked very hard to enlighten me.
In fact, it had nothing to do with our ancestors. I may not be very smart, but I do know that Master Sand Scorpion should be credited for my improvement.
Master Sand Scorpion can always come up with surprising training methods to torture me. They are barely sufferable, but I have to say that they are very effective. One will receive huge returns as long as they can grit their teeth through the process.
Moreover, he is cold to everybody else, but for some reason, he is very patient with me. Whenever I go to ask him about questions I don't understand, he always stops doing whatever he is busy with and gives me guidance unwearyingly.
It is quite odd that, after his interpretation, the seemingly esoteric theories of refining become straightforward and self-explanatory just like one plus one equals two.
A bold idea recently occurred to me.
I want to be Master Sand Scorpion's disciple.
Not the teacher-student relationship in school where one teacher has hundreds of students, but a true disciple!
But it is quite difficult!
I'm aware that Master Sand Scorpion has only one true disciple named Wu Mayan, who is in the Battlesuit Department of Flying Star University.
Wu Mayan is a real super genius. He has become a big name on campus after only several months.
Although he is only fourteen years old, his combat ability is close to that of the Building Foundation Stage. When he entered Flying Star University, the Combat Department, the Battlesuit Department, and the Flying Sword Department fought for him so hard that the deans were nearly bashing their heads.
It seems like he was born in a crystal suit, and he has natural instinct for them. After studying in the Battlesuit Department for only four months, he has already become an expert in crystal suits. None of the junior year students or below are a match for him. Only several senior experts in the senior year ever manage to draw with him.
Last month, he was appointed as a representative of Flying Star University in the intercollege crystal suit match. It was the first time in history for a freshman year student. He defeated five elite students from the Battlesuit Department of Heavenly Saints Institute with a 'Lone Wolf Battlesuit'. The entire Heavenly Saints City was shocked!
It is safe to say that Wu Mayan is even more famous than Master Sand Scorpion, who has always been lying low on campus.
Somebody from the five main arenas has come to ask him whether or not he was willing to fight with the professional Exos in the arenas.
Sigh. Only such talented geniuses deserve to be Master Sand Scorpion's true disciple.
I'm afraid that there's still a long way to go for a fool like me, isn't there?
But forget it. I planned to stay at home for one month, but I've decided right now that I will return to Heavenly Saints City tomorrow.
Master Sand Scorpion said that he would be staying in school for his training during the summer holiday. I will just go to find him and ask if he's willing to recruit me as his disciple.
Anyway, he's not likely to bite me, is he?
…
July 13.
I'm so angry! I'm so angry! I'm so angry!
What kind of guy is he? How can there be such an annoying boy!
I returned to Flying Star University and found Master Sand Scorpion today. I summoned my courage and proposed my request.
As it happened, the super genius Wu Mayan was present, too.
After I proposed my request, before Master Sand Scorpion said anything, the guy bulged his eyes and looked at me from top to bottom carefully. If I could read his mind, he must have been saying, "Huh? Someone of your aptitude is hoping to be the true disciple of my master?"
Not only did he stare at me, he even whispered with Master Sand Scorpion for quite a while. I overheard that he was speaking evil of me!
Thankfully, Master did not listen to his jibber-jabber. Although he didn't agree to my request immediately, he did not turn it down, either.
Hehe. There's still hope since he did not reject me, and I won't give up trying as long as there's the tiniest hope!
One other thing. Is the boy really fourteen years old? He is several inches taller than me, and his chest is as broad as a wall.
Crap.
If Master Sand Scorpion really recruits me as his disciple, wouldn't I have to call the annoying kid 'Senior Brother'?
That would be a huge bummer!
…
August 29.
Recently, I've been feeling that Master Sand Scorpion is more and more like an iceberg. However magnificent it appears, it is always ten times greater below the surface of the ocean!
Without me knowing, it's been five months since he came to Flying Star University.
Over the past five months, he has either been napping in the library or dwelling in the Ares Laboratory.
After the previous accident, the progress of the Ares Laboratory was kept confidential. Nobody knew how their project is going.
Therefore, in the Refining Department, suspicions about Master Sand Scorpion's skillfulness in refining have reappeared after several months of silence.
Of course, I knew that Master Sand Scorpion must be very excellent in refining. But honestly speaking, I'd never seen him craft anything in person, and I couldn't help but wonder how excellent he was.
But what happened today shed light on his capability, or rather, part of his combat ability.
A month ago, various journals and websites featuring magical equipment started introducing a tool named 'Combat Ability Detector' on a large scale.
Most of the articles were bragging about the magical equipment, claiming that it could run a series of complicated calculations based on data of moving speed, air vibrations, and spiritual waves and give an estimation of the enemy's combat ability.
Besides, the 'Combat Ability Detector' has recorded the appearances of the commonly-seen demon beasts, thousands of kinds of starships and the most popular crystal suits in the Flying Star Sector.
After scanning with the magical equipment, one is able to tell precisely which crystal suit the enemy is in, the advantages and disadvantages of the crystal suit, and all the other important information for the battle.
Growing up in a noble family of refining, I've seen too many such things. The more fabulous a piece of magical equipment sounds, the more likely that the journals and websites have been bribed. These articles are merely 'advertorials'.
However, publishing advertorials on so many different journals and websites at the same time is a huge investment, too. The producer of the Combat Ability Detector must boast tremendous capital.
I was quite curious about the magical equipment.
The few commercials set up on the Spiritual Nexus were quite professional and distinguished, too.
Therefore, I ordered two of them, one regular model and one crystal-suit-embedded model that could be installed to a crystal suit conveniently.
Five days ago, the Combat Ability Detectors were finally delivered. I tested them in person and had to say that, although they were not as immaculate as the advertorials claimed, they were definitely worth my money.
From the perspective of a refiner, the magical equipment was elegantly designed and very robust. The spiritual energy circuits were very smooth, and it was unhindered and flawless when it was functioning.
Although it was a piece of cheap, popular magical equipment, I found that it employed a lot of extremely complicated super-tiny rune arrays and crystal chips, as well as seven very sophisticated distributions.
Such a design was a definitely a masterpiece.
I felt at the time that the magical equipment would be a hit.
As I expected, after it was on sale for only one week, not only was it greatly complimented on the Spiritual Nexus and by the experts and professors in the circle of refiners, even the academic journal of the Refining Department of Flying Star University listed it as one of the ten most recommended tools of the month.
Besides, it was the monthly bestseller in the category of mini magical equipment on many websites.
Bestseller after only one week. It was quite beyond my expectation.
After I investigated the sales, I discovered that a great number of orders from Iron Plateau were placed on the very first day that the Combat Ability Detector was sold to public.
The six tribes of Iron Plateau bought a hundred thousand Combat Ability Detectors altogether!
Naturally, my curiosity was aroused.
Although the communication between Iron Plateau and the space has been reestablished, the fat orders still seemed quite odd, considering that the magical equipment was only just invented after all.
The manufacturer of the Combat Ability Detector was an unknown company. But after I traced it on the Spiritual Nexus, I found that the company was affiliated with the Glorious Sunlight Group!
Wasn't the Glorious Sunlight Group an enterprise of Master Sand Scorpion, according to Sister Long?
I went to ask Master Sand Scorpion cautiously with a Combat Ability Detector.
But he admitted very frankly that the Combat Ability Detector was the first piece of magical equipment developed by 'Glorious Sunlight Refining Center', which was under his name. He was the supervisor of the entire development process, too!
In other words, the Combat Ability Detector was Master Sand Scorpion's work!
I was immediately dumbfounded.
I knew that Master Sand Scorpion was awesome, but I didn't know that he was that awesome.
That was not the end of it. Later at dinner, I met Master Hou Zitao.
Master Hou has been quite mysterious over the past months. He has been dedicated to the development of a super weapon. Occasionally when I saw him, he would always look somewhat at a loss, as if he hadn't closed his eyes for ten days and ten nights.
But today, he was exultant and jumping up and down like a monkey. The moment he met me, he told me that his super weapon, 'chain gun', had been successfully developed. The experiments showed satisfactory results, and the performance of the new weapon far exceeded his expectation. It is about to be mass-produced, and it will definitely be a hit!
Of course, I congratulated him. But he said, embarrassedly, that the magical equipment was not crafted by him alone, but co-developed by him and Master Sand Scorpion. Or rather, Master Sand Scorpion was the bigger contributor to the project and was the lead refiner, and he could only be listed as the second refiner.
I took the opportunity and asked his opinion on Master Sand Scorpion's capability in refining.
He scratched his hair for a long time and replied with two words.
"Can't tell."
There's only one month before the Edge Sharpeners' Meeting that is held every five years.
I'm wondering what the facial expressions of the guys who are doubting his capability in refining right now will be when he shows up in the meeting hall with his Combat Ability Detector and the chain gun.
I'm really looking forward to it!


“Even if this universe is truly nothing more than a brutal, bloody, shadowy forest, we Cultivators will burn all that we have just to give off a single weak flickering spark in the darkness! 
“No matter how weak each spark is, how short-lived, how small… As long as the sparks flow unabated, then one day one of those sparks will light some tinder, and that tinder shall light some fallen branches, and those branches shall set ablaze each and every last tree of the forest! 
“In the end, even the smallest sparks will eventually set the shadowy forest ablaze and illuminate the whole world!”

** Qidian International and the former translator, Mr. Strivon, have reached an agreement to buy out the chapters and host them on our site. We will be continuing the translation from the last chapter translated by Mr. Strivon **

Another bump, and he inhales sharply. The sweet scent of long and vanilla greets his nostrils. Surprised, he opens his eyes and sees that the brown-haired girl is asleep in the seat beside him, her head nuzzled into a grey neck pillow. 


As he studies her face, he realizes that there is something different this time. She looks older somehow and more sophisticated. Gone are the jeans and hoodie, now replaced with immaculate slacks and an expensive-looking sweater. 


Another dream. 


He groans, frustrated at his past attemps to piece the flimsuly scenes together into something he could actually understand. 


He exhales, stopping himself form kissing the top of her head. He is as confused as before, but she is asleep, so thankfully there's no need for conversation this time. 


Maybe this dream would just pass uneventfully, he thinks. Maybe I'll wake up after this. 


I hope I wake up after this. 


He opens the book on his lap, rubs his eyes, and skims through the new chapter. Multiverses, string theory, parallel occurrences, quantum leaps-- why was this even mandatory reading for all team leaders in the company? 


He groans at the mathematical illustrations and equations that pepper the pages. How The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea even became a New York Times bestseller will always be beyond him. 


After all, the Japanese physicist who wrote the book insists that there are at least ten other universes that co-exist with the one we know. This meant that for each choice you made in the here and now, there are probably ten other universes that play out different scenarios of the choices that you didn't make. 


Eleven universes? 


He shakes his head in frustration. Bakit ba kasi ginawang required reading 'to for management. What did this book have to do with the airline industry? 


"Well, hijo, when you're old and eccentric and worth 35 million pesos, you can recommend any book you damn want and everyone has to read them." he remembered his boss' words. If Miss Malu wasn't going to quiz him on it in a couple of days, he would've tossed the book into that trash bin a long time ago. 


"But Miss Malu, this is about universe and math... and choice. What has this got to do with expanding the brand and opening new markets?" 


"Maybe the chairman knows something we don't, hijo." 


"Or maybe the rumors are true, ma'am. Maybe the old man is really crazy." 


"Heion, listen to me. You have more drive and discipline than any of these MBA frauds who work here. Remember what I told you the first day you come to work for me?" 


"You said you saw the chairman in me." 


"True, Heion. The chairman went from errand boy to multibillionaire. He never even finished high school. That could be your path, too. I know you work harder than anyone else, and you're more driven than these Ateneo conyo boys you despise so much but there's still so much you don't know and you have to admit that. You say you want to be an executive? Then read what they read so you can think like one." 


He shuts the book in frustration and peers at the dark sky outside the window. His boss was right, as usual. 


He couldn't argue with his boss' logic. He leans back and studies the lackluster book cover, still trying to contemplate the implications of the chapters he's read so far. Ten other realities aside from your own. 


What does someone do with that kind of information? Well, if it were true, it meant one important thing to him personally: that in ten other timelines, his mother is with him, still very much alive and happy. 


He swallows hard, trying to hold back a year at the memory. He cracks open the book again and tries to read, but it is futile. The scent of lemon and vanilla continue to distract him. 


"What will I do to you, Cass? I'm still confused about a lot of things." 


This brown-haired girl sleeping beside him is Cass, that much he knows.  


Bumuntong hininga siya at ipinikit ang mga mata. 


"Maybe if I sleep, these weird dreams will go away." 


Dark.


Light. 


Dark.


He dozed off.
