But a random text message caught his attention and he just can’t seem to help but mess with her...

Still Theo Pov


Getting up from the grass I drag my exhausted body into the house and up the stairs for a shower. I currently mentally and physically exhausted.

The reason for my mental exhaustion is because during my martial arts practice I had been grinding all my "life skills" and "Language Skills"  by searching up some online books on the masks integrated computer display.


I focused especially on maths and computer science as I want my games to be perfect without any glitches. I also have a plan to open up a game company. 

At the moment I don't have the money but I have a quick fix for that. I'm gonna make some merchandise and have it sell through Vague, I'll be using 2% from my 5% shares for myself to help as well.

'Shit, I almost forgot I was asked to make a dress for the brand, just another thing to put my name on I guess. System can you add a physical enhancement slot for status'

'I need to get my self a drivers licence, I think I'll get a motorbike and a vintage car. If my thinking is right the only physical enhancements left would be my "hearing" but there also might be an enhancement for my internal organs then I would be a bonafide cultivator or at least a super soldier like Captain America. Right, I should do an outdoor stream of me surviving wild, it would also be a good time to put my trap skill to use' 

With my thoughts in line, I got changed into something comfortable. Then I sat at my desk with my laptop and drawing tablet. And began drawing some merch designs.


One of the merch would be a T-shirt with the words "Because I can" in bold across the chest that came in black and white. Then a navy blue shirt with a cartoon version of myself wearing my old mask with a white shirt. (Something similar to H20 Delirious's merch) 

I then thought about the fact that I hold the rights for all my cartoons, meaning no one is able to make merchandise that remotely represents them. I went through some of the episodes and screenshot it for a few T-shirts. With the designs done I pull out my phone and call Liz.

*Ring, Ring, Ring*


"Hi Theo" Said Liz

"Hi Liz sorry to bother you, but do you think you could sell and make my merch," I asked

"Of course, don't forget you hold 5% so it shouldn't be too much trouble and that would help us gain more attention. Just send the design to me and I'll get someone to meet your requirements" Said Liz


"Could you make sure its material is high quality, nothing that fades easily as some of them will have pictures?" I said

"Come on, my brand prides its self on high-quality material. So if that's it, then don't worry" Said Liz


"Thanks, Liz, have a good one," I said


"Yeah, you too," Liz said before hanging up.


'Okay now that's done, on to doing some research on the current gaming industry' I thought excitedly 


About three hours later of going through some forums and YouTube videos of games being broken down to new people like my self. From my detailed research, I had gathered that this world gaming industry sucks ass.


As a gamer myself I was so shocked at my finding and continued looking through some foreign games and still nothing this world creativity is stuck on just copying C.O.D format and some old casual games. 
 
(Call Of Duty)

The FPS games are all copies of C.O.D with zero originality, luckily RPG has some good games but it gets drowned in hackers basically ruining it. The fighting game is kinder basic as it's pretty hard to mess up but the movement doesn't flow naturally as it looked like they jump from one move to the other without showing how.

It doesn't help that the big companies take a shit on their customer with their abusive micro-transactions. Really just upsetting to see this worlds games. Even though I hadn't played any games since being transmigrated I still have some great memories playing games.


With the disappointing discovery, I make a promise to my self 'As a gamer I can't let this world suffer from such low tier bullshit, Yes I shall open up a new door to my fellow gamers. My company will be for the players'

Warning: Harem, system, slow-paced, CRINGE and system with a bad personality. 

This has been dropped. This is my first novel which had a lot of problems from the pacing, power scale and grammar. Read knowing that it has no end.

To be a star is a simple Idea but to turn a boy that's been secluded from Society into one is much more difficult. Even if you took on his body you still felt his anxiety, insecurity and more. It's slow but worth it.

_____________________________________________________

Authors Note: The novel you are about read contains strong language and some vivid sexual content
 
The Mc is beta at the start as he is a character that suffers from anxiety due to his upbringing. Although it did take 23 chapters for the Mc to show visible growth that's just due to my naturally slow pacing.

Don't expect too much, especially since this is my first time writing a novel. It's also best not to take seriously as I am just writing for fun and to just something to do on my downtime 

This novel will share a lot of similarities to other novels that I particularly love and mostly because I lack originality but it will be in my style.

UPLOAD SCHEDULE
Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday

The carriage was built of dark iron and adorned with sparkling jewels and gems. Its interior was spacious, and light shimmered from within like it was daytime.
But there was nothing but emptiness and silence inside the luxurious carriage that had endured for thousands of years. Contrary to their earlier beliefs, no immortal had seemed to escape the Immortal Realm via the carriage from the route of the Celestial River.
With no time to wait, Meng Qi noticed the mane of the Celestial Horses rustling and fractions of minute movements as they began to stir.
An idea came to him. He invoked the thunderbolt mark on the back of his hand and mimicked the aura of the ancient Thunder God. Propelling himself through the currents of the pond, he threw himself at the carriage and shouted at his companions via telepathy:
"Into the carriage!"
His instruction to his friends proved unneeded as they had already guessed his plans. The Celestial Horses seemed to hold special abilities that would allow them to travel at high speeds despite not being of the Dharmakaya realm. With a kick of their hooves, the horses would deliver them so far away that not even Snake Dang could keep up!
Meng Qi led the way, summoning a doppelganger which leaped before them to test for traps or barriers in the carriage. Jiang Zhiwei remained as a rearguard, holding the Oceanic Dominion Pearl in her hands tensely.
There would be no need for her to venture any risky maneuvers if their plan could work!
Still, Snake Dang was already a zombie, and the Oceanic Dominion Pearl's actual function was to confound its Vital Spirit, cripple its physical body, and steady the current of flow. They could not finish off the monster even after severely destroying its body.
Meng Qi's doppelganger entered safely into the carriage, indicating the absence of any magical traps or barriers. With his mind at ease, Meng Qi leaped into the carriage with Ruan Yushu, Qi Zhengyan, and Zhao Heng close behind. Jiang Zhiwei stepping within after them.
Suddenly, they felt the cold and deathly presence of their nemesis closing in. The head of the gigantic snake peered through the surface of the pond with its blood-shot eyes. With the silhouettes of the white-haired zombie and Luo Shengyi still within, the eyes scanned warily in fear of Meng Qi's "I, the Unique and Righteous" technique!
The massive presence of a force so close to the Half-step from the Dharmakaya realm sent a chill down their spines, freezing the blood in their veins and their Vital Spirits. More so for the spit of venom that could spew forth anytime and consume everything at the bottom of the pond. Still, the Celestial Horses had yet to buck. They leaped despite stirring from their slumber of millennia!
Jiang Zhiwei stood bravely at the edge of the carriage. She wore a cold, defiant glare without fear and anxiousness in her eyes. In her hands, she readied herself with the Oceanic Dominion Pearl currently blushed with a faint colored glow. She was prepared to use it at a moment's notice.
Having experienced its lesson from Meng Qi's Secret Treasures, the giant snake cowered reluctantly at the sight of the Oceanic Dominion Pearl. Still, it slunk and withdrew slowly with apparent unwillingness as if it could, at any time, hurl itself forward and snatch its prize even at the cost of its body!
Meng Qi calmed himself. The motion of the saber he held became sluggish and slow. His stare grew dark and distant as ethereal and gossamer threads became visible to him.
The stroke of utter destruction—the Fruits of Karma technique!
Meng Qi looked once more at the massive figure of Snake Dang. It was unlike before. There were not many threads of Karma that spread out from it, and most of them were slowly fading due to its death. There was one which caught his eyes from amongst the remaining threads which numbered at below ten. A diaphanous strand which was thick and robust, sparkling amidst the shade of gloom. That single most distinct thread stretched far into an unknown distance.
Snake Dang instead felt a chilling dread as Meng Qi's eerie stare rested on him. Between Meng Qi's icy stare and its fear of the Oceanic Dominion Pearl, it could not help jerking its head back momentarily.
Noticing her chance, Jiang Zhiwei drew the shutters with her foot. The doors of the carriage closed with a slam.
The Celestial Horses came to life, springing into fluid motions that continued from the events that have transpired tens of thousands of years ago. With no hesitation and doubt, the horses kicked and leaped into the Celestial River. The carriage shone with a shroud of bright green as it drew through the currents of the heavenly river, tightly shut by the enchantments that came into effect on its own.
The heavenly steeds threw their heads back and neighed loudly, trampling through the rapids of the Celestial River.
Their bodies turned translucent suddenly as if they were entering a mysterious and magical channel!
Meng Qi finally heaved a massive breath of relief. He could feel the dangers and hidden secrets that lay behind the distinctly thick thread of karma belonging to Snake Dang. It would be nothing short of suicide if he were to use the Fruits of Karma technique on the monster and inherit the burden of Karma. It would have overwhelmed him instantly. Warding off the gigantic serpent was the best possible outcome.
He looked around the interior of the carriage. A question came to him finally: was the carriage prepared by Zhu Bajie for his escape, or was it by someone else who had left already?
If it were the former, Zhu Bajie himself would have been able to escape with higher speeds than using Celestial Horses, considering that his body still stood even after thousands of years of enduring the scorching heat of the Grand Sun. If it was the latter, when had the Immortal left? Was it during the fall of the Celestial Court, after the fall, or did he go sometime during Meng Qi's company's arrival?
The giant snakehead ventured another look from the surface of the pond and saw only the ripples of currents of the Celestial River.
The monster serpent hissed and emitted a deafening roar of anger that shook even the stars in the Heavens. But all was lost for it!
...
Four Celestial Horses drew the golden carriage across the belt of the Milky Way, flickering in and out of view as the heavenly steeds galloped upon the currents of the Celestial River with high speed.
On a planet covered with oceans and continents with rich flora and fauna, there stood more than a dozen men in front of a pile of ancient ruins, clad in strange clothing.
The leader of the group pointed to the ruins and said, "This is the altar of sacrifice built by the tribes of old to pray and offer sacrifices to the gods in return for their blessings and protection. There have been records in the ancient manuscripts about the coming of Immortals and Deities. With the manuscripts, we can restore the ancient civilization, practices, beliefs, and relationships between other tribes."
There were several amongst the group who took down notes vigorously. Some studied the ancient altar curiously and some, in their peculiar headgears with strange decorative patterns, looked up into the blue sky while they visualized the lives of the ancient tribes.
All of a sudden, one of the men looking into the sky uttered incomprehensible gibberish that caught the surprise of the others. But they had barely been able to react when they saw a streak of light tearing across the sky with tails of flames behind it. It moved not with the speed and intensity of a comet, but calm and composed as if it was revolving around the planet.
"The engravings of the ancient bird on the altar is the emblem of this ancient tribe, slowly through time it became..." The lecturer saw his students staring blankly into the sky and felt it strange. He was suddenly bathed in light from behind as if something was descending into their midst.
He turned without thinking and looked at the altar, only to see four handsome horses with flowing manes drawing a majestic carriage of gold, galloping gracefully upon a belt of light and coming to a stop upon the altar.
"T-This..." Nobody uttered a word. It was like a bizarre dream.
The Celestial Horses took a brief respite before they gave a loud triumphant cry. They conjured a magical formation and leaped into the air once more, the divine convoy fading from sight and disappeared into the air.
Night came swiftly and the stars returned into the fold of darkness. The streak of light continued its journey across the stars, flickering continuously.
On another planet filled with nothing but the sands were minarets and turrets that pointed into the sky.
Several men dressed in the costumes of priests stood at the top of a tower, looking into the beautiful but bleak view of the desert.
"Another sacrificial ceremony tomorrow." One of the priests said poignantly.
Another remarked with a laugh. "It is just for show. There is no need for anxiousness."
The words had barely left their lips when their gazes fixated upon a meteor falling from the sky. It drew closer to them, getting larger and larger as it came, and they saw that it was no meteor, but a divine-looking carriage of gold drawn by proud horses of the heavens that rode imperiously across the sky.
The horse-drawn carriage came to a stop briefly on the top of the tower for a brief respite before the priests, who were staring with gaped-mouth astonishment, and ignored their presence.
After their rest, the heavenly steeds leapt in unison and set off with a brilliant glow that engulfed the entire pinnacle of the tower as well as the horses themselves.
The carriage once again took to the sky, galloping away with high speeds, leaving the priests awe-struck and stunned with silence in their wake.
...
The carriage continued its voyage through the dark pool of stars in the sky, making brief stops at intervals. After a time, the Celestial Horses suddenly climbed higher and hit a vortex.
The carriage came to its final stop. Meng Qi and his companions projected their senses outwards to make sure that they were safe before they even thought of stepping outside.
Just then, the voice of Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms reverberated once more.
"Successful withdrawal from battle; the assigned task is complete and a success. You may now return, or you may elect to stay for another hour. During the hour, you may select to return immediately regardless of if you are caught in battle or not."
With the assuring words of the Dominator, Meng Qi survey their surroundings, feeling only the fresh scent in the air and the deep blue sky above them. There was an inexplicable familiarity that hinted that they might have returned to the World of the Journey to the West!
Not far away from where they were standing, they saw an old and decrepit ranch. There were no signs of life, save for the pungent stench waft drifting from the insides of the farm.
Meng Qi returned his gaze to the Celestial Horses and temporarily ignored the smell. Ruan Yushu looked at the steeds too with interest.
"These horses are precious 'assets' that can travel through the skies!"
The thought had barely registered, and suddenly he could hear the long whinny of the horses. A sudden, strong gale of wind blew and whisked them off into the air, keeping him and his companions away. The horses then rode through the wind and out of sight into the skies.
"These horses have sharp perception..." Meng Qi pursed his lips with faint disappointment. When they had first escaped, he was already thinking of ways to transport the horses back to the Realm of Reality!
Jiang Zhiwei smiled. With the effects of her technique diminishing, her aura turned extremely weak like Meng Qi. She turned to look at the ranch nearby, noticing the infestation of vines and creepers that have "drenched" the buildings into a shade of verdant green.
From the gaps between the vines, she made out a few words which she read out loud:
"The Gao... Vintage... Ranch..."
"The Gao Vintage Ranch?" Meng Qi could not believe his ears. "The destination of the carriage is the Gao Vintage Ranch?"
"It is true then, that the carriage is related to Zhu Bajie!"
"Let's go in and have a look," Meng Qi said with a heavy breath, dragging his weary self forward.
This time, Ruan Yushu, Qi Zhengyan, and Zhao Heng took the front and covered the rear, showing no doubt to Meng Qi's suggestion to venture a look into the abandoned ranch. They hoped to gather as many items as possible to exchange for additional Karma Points.
They tore through the luxuriant vegetation of creepers and went through the main gate of the forsaken ranch, which broke into pieces after a mere push.
They searched the rooms and chambers but found nothing of use. Some of the items left, due to the ravages of time, reduced down to mucks of slimy sludge.
They ventured further and reached at the center of the ranch, finding a small chamber that seemed to be a study or a room used by the owner of the farm.
"Let's search the study first. There might be manuscripts or books containing skills or techniques." Meng Qi suggested.
Unbeknownst to his companions, Meng Qi knew that the Gao Vintage Ranch was the residence of Zhu Bajie's in-laws. There could honestly be items of high value hidden here!
"All right." Ruan Yushu was interested in the music of the World of the Journey to the West. She also wanted to examine the study herself even if there were no books on martial disciplines contained within. Tailing close behind Zhao Heng, she stepped carefully into the study with Meng Qi beside her as they began to climb to the second floor.
Moving carefully and with light steps with consideration for the old and frail planks of the floor. Stepping with any force more significant than they currently moved could break the planks into pieces.
A more profound observation would yield that the second floor was full of books. Nothing but the yellow shade of papers and parchments filled their sight.
Meng Qi's eyes swept around and his gaze caught something. On the desk beside a window was a simple and old book with a cover in dark blue.
The companions searched around separately for anything useful. Meng Qi stepped to the table and picked up the book. Upon its cover were three words written in ancient runic seal script,
"The Tao Te Ching (the Scripture of Virtue)!"
"Enlightenment, if explained, would never be universal and eternal as it ought to be..." Meng Qi recited a phrase he saw as he riffled through the page. It was an ancient manuscript of archaic origins, not dissimilar to the "Tao Te Ching" that could be found circulating in the actual world they came from.
Suddenly, Zhao Heng heaved a dejected sigh. "These books are so old that they crumble to dust even at the gentlest touch. We have to use our genuine Qi to secure the books and lift them carefully. I have yet to see anything worth keeping here."
"These books are so old..." Meng Qi murmured as he returned his gaze on the Tao Te Ching in his hand. There was something peculiar about it despite its common and relatively newer appearance.
Confused and bewildered, he beckoned his friends and got them to examine the book. But no one found anything extraordinary with it.
"An ordinary book..." After thinking about it, Meng Qi decided to keep the book for future examination. There was still room in his Space Ring anyway.
After much searching and delving for an hour, they found nothing of value. The footprints and traces left in the deserted ranch suggested scores of monsters have frequented the area. It will be unsurprising if they have already ransacked and plundered all that they could!
The voice of the Dominator of Six Samsara Realms echoed, signifying it was time to return,
"The main task has been completed. Each person shall receive the reward of 3,500 Karma Points."
"Return."
Pillars of light fall from the sky, returning the group to the Samsara Square with their injuries healed. Meng Qi felt all weariness and fatigue leaving him.
Just then, the hollow voice of Dominator of Samsara in the Six Realms rumbled again:
"The Samsara deepens as you cast off your immaturity and inexperience. The next task is a Death Task that will take place in a year. Be prepared."
"For this mission, you will be forbidden from using your Secret Treasures and other artifacts. You will rely only on your skills, weapons, raiments, and other protective gears as well as only one healing elixir."


I care not of my past and neither of my future.
Conquering all heroes and foes while looking with disdain at the horrors of the Samsara, I yearn only for a life of thrilling wonders!
History will repeat itself after many ages as the menace of the Great Calamity rises once more.
Which will rise with triumph in the face of adversity; the Golden Form of the Great Buddha or the invincible Heavenly Taoist Form?
Which will seize all glory amidst all struggles; The Buddha's Palms or the  Seven Strokes of Heaven's Interception?
From the sanctum of the Shaolin Temple, Meng Qi's adventures and struggles through the Samsara begin as we follow his climb to claim the title of "the Unrivaled and the Invincible One"!


"Wingardium leviosa." Harry said in a calmed tone and with the swish of his wand the books floated in the air. He went to grab one of the vintage leather books and handed it to Aaron. 
"Where did you learn these spells?" Aaron asked. 
"From my grandpa's books. Reading books is my hobby." Harry said and snapped his finger. All of a sudden all the books fell to the ground. 
Aaron was left completely amazed with his mouth hanging open. He then asked Harry to pinch him to see if it was a dream. Harry pinched him in the butt and he yelled. "Ouch! Why did you do that?"
"You asked me to pinch you?" 
"Yes I did, but not in the butt, dumbass." 
Aaron decided to open the book Harry handed him and take in some reading. "Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
"Admission to Hogwarts is selective, in that children who show magical ability will automatically gain a place and squibs cannot attend the school as students." Aaron suddenly stopped reading and turned to Harry with a strange expression in his face. 
"So how can we know if we're wizard or not?"
"Wizards don't seem to have a natural ability to 'sense' whether someone is a wizard or a Muggle but there are some spells and signs that can help them distinguish people around them." Harry explained. "Spells, such as Repello Muggletum will help them prevent a muggle from seeing or entering-."
Harry wasn't finished talking when Aaron's phone rang. He was so anxious to take the call so he dropped it instead and left. 
"Hey Ron, is everything alright?!" Harry tried to chase him but Aaron runs too fast and  he could not catch up. "Wait!" 
Harry was left confused and worried. Tangled of thoughts began to popped and crackle in his head like fat in the fire, until he went home. He went straight to his room and lay down for a nap. In a restless doze Harry saw Aaron  as a kid again. 
Aaron came from a family of wizards. Unfortunately, Aaron wasn't like them. He was a squib, in other words "Wizard-born muggles". Squibs are kind of the opposite of Muggle-born wizards, but Squibs are quite unusual. 
Harry wakes up a moment later. It was a short dream but it stayed with him. It was already seven thirty five in the evening when Aaron paged him. Fifteen minutes after Harry woke up. He told Harry his location and asked him to come over.

Eversince  Harry Morris was young, he dreamed of entering the ever famous Hogwarts even just for a day,but there was a big problem  he needs to deal with. Hogwarts mysteriously vanished 22 years ago along with the death of Harry Potter. Will Harry be able to bring back Hogwarts again? Join Harry and the new generations of wizard on their quest of finding Hogwarts.

CALLEA'S eyebrows were drawn together as she walked down the living room. She had been trying to recover from the days she had to entertain Deive's grandfather and her own family and she wanted to catch up with work. Surprisingly, she got along just fine with Don Jorje. He liked old jazz and her piano pieces. He was also into history so they had a lot to discuss. He asked her to visit him in Manila.

She thought she could have a peaceful time for herself since Deive went to the field to help out Torque with harvesting vegetables. He needed to impress her cousin. And since Lee is a financial analyst, he would ask for his help on business as well.

She didn't expect any visitors coming for her. Then she saw who was sitting on the sofa. It was her publisher, Mattheu Segundo. She noticed a black box on the middle of the mahogany center table. She had a bad feeling about this.

He came towards her as she reached the landing. "Finally! I thought you have no plans to see me. How's my most bankable graphic novelist?" he asked and kissed the back of her hand.

Her boss was a handsome and dashing man. A dreamboat for most women. He was a member of Stallion Island Riding and Leisure Club like her cousins where only the rich and young men in the country could join as members like her Torque and Lee. That was why they entrusted her works to him. She knew that she would be taken care of and her identity would be a secret.

"I am good. Thanks for the visit. So what brought you here, boss?"

Callea never visited the office. They just send the check to her bank account and her accountant handle all her accounts. Contacts were sent to her through a courier. She had just submitted her latest book last month. She beat her deadline. Her next deadline was still months away. The renewal of her contract was still a couple of years away. If her publisher would grace her with his presence himself, it must be freakin' important. She was wishing that he was there to increase her talent fee.

"I just visited you. I brought cake and some books on Japanese horror. Vintage ones." There was the sparkle in her boss' eyes as he opened the box. Her heart leaped when I saw the yellowish cover with Japanese ink and an illustrator of a Japanese girl in kimono with blazings eyes, standing in the middle of a bamboo forest. It was something she had never seen before that made her salivate.  It was a forbidden book, according to some. And her boss acquired it for her. "This is for me? This is too much, boss. You know that I am happy that you publish my stories and people appreciate it."

It was too precious as a gift. There was no malice between her and the boss. After all, he only sees her as a cash cow. She was scared of what he would ask in return. It was always business with her boss. There was no such thing as free lunch.

Then came Marina with a green tea crepe cake. She wet her lips. Darn! Her boss knew her weakness and how to put her guard down. They ate while they discussed the comic conference in Tokyo that he attended and how spring came earlier than expected and they nearly missed the sakura blossom.

It was a dream of Callea to visit Japan. She was planning to go there with her friend until her demise.

"I have a favor to ask, Callea." Mattheu's voice sent her back to the present.

"What is it, boss?"

He greased her with a vintage Japanese horror book and a matcha crepe cake. She was ready to listen. Her boss was a wolf. Pretending to be grandma until he shows his fangs. And she knew that she couldn't say no.

"I want you to attend our book signing."

An arranged marriage to a perfect bride.

To keep him in line, playboy Deive Hontiveros needs to marry Callea Lopez so he could start his own business. He thought he got lucky when he sees how beautiful and caring Callea is.

She lives in a haunted mansion though and he got plagued by a mysterious ghost of a woman and her cat from hell.

He must protect his bride at all cost. 

But what if Callea is one with the darkness?

The person's name was Tatiana Springheart and she is an elf. 

Tatiana was travelling through a human kingdom, on a journey to discover more information about herself and where she came from before she was an elf. Coco had met her almost a century ago but her last known whereabouts placed her in the Elk Forest, the home of the Elves Alliance. 

There were many more details included in the letter but Vy did not have time to read them. She put the letter away in the chest and focused on setting up her store. Knowing that there was someone she could look for to talk to make her feel better and more confident.

As the days passed by quickly, the Harvest Festival was in full swing. More food stalls were set up and there were more travellers coming into the town. Carole needed Vy's assistance more and it was the perfect arrangement as Rodrick had closed his store for the festival. 

"Rodrick was saying that this was one of the few occasions where he could take a break from his shop and enjoy the festive atmosphere," Vy explained to Carole. 

"Oh I see, if you want to go and enjoy the festivities, I won't stop you. You have not seen it before after all."

Vy smiled, she knew Carole meant well but she needed the help. 

"It's alright, I can feel the energy from the festivities from here. Oh, but I do want to have a look at the antique stalls if that's alright."

Carole nodded, "Of course."

She looked around in the store, it was lunchtime and there were not as many customers for the moment. "Why don't you go and have a look now? Just come back within an hour and it should be fine."

Vy looked up, "Are you sure."

"Yes. Don't worry about me, I managed before you came along so I will be fine. Now go on," Carole replied. 

Vy smiled and thanked Carole with a hug before she made her way towards the antique stalls. The stalls were hidden in the corner of the market, next to the jewellers. Vy looked through the items carefully and swiftly, not wanting to waste any precious time. 

-Dotty, do you see anything that has the particles?-

<Scanning environment>

<No particles found.>

-We'll keep looking then.-

Vy moved on to the next store that mainly sold old books. As she looked through the books herself, she picked up one that caught her interest. Flipping through the pages, Dotty's search for the stall was complete. 

<Particles detected.>

-Where? Lead me to it.-

<Turning on visual particle viewer>

Within an instant, Vy noticed her vision was enhanced. As she turned to look around the stall, she noticed glowing particles of light coming from a bookshelf not too far from where she was standing. She walked over and the closer she got to it, the brighter the light. When she stood in front of the shelf, the light was absorbed into her. 

<Particles absorbed.>

-I guess you need more than that to evolve. Let's keep looking. Dotty, keep the visual particle viewer on.-

<Noted on that, Vy>

Vy moved on to the Antique stall next and was looking through its wares. There were a couple of antiques that were surrounded by light particles. As soon as she came into close contact with it, Dotty absorbed the particles. One of the items that were surrounded by the particles, turned out to be a piece of vintage jewellery. It was a brooch with a huge gemstone as a centrepiece. But the colour was dull and dusty. 

The shopkeeper noticed Vy looking at it intently and approached her. 

"How may I help you, Miss?"

"Oh, may I know how much this is," Vy asked politely. 

The shopkeeper had a quick glance at the brooch and thought nothing of it. He had gotten it from a bulk sale from a merchant and was looking to get rid of it quickly. 

"If you're keen on it, I'll sell it to you for 10 coppers."

Vy thought about it and agreed to the deal. She paid the shopkeeper and put the brooch in her pouch and continued on to the next stall. The second stall had a few items with the particles which Dotty promptly absorbed. As Vy approached the final store, she noticed that there was a particular object that was surrounded by a lot more particles. 

She went forward to have a look and it turned out to be a vintage book. It was super dusty and the words were faded. But the cover of the leather-bound book was moulded in the shape of a dragon head. Dotty promptly absorbed the particles but the book seemed to draw her in the more she looked at it. 

She picked up the book and looked for the shopkeeper. Vy saw a man cleaning up a wine cup inside and the stall and approached him. 

"Pardon me, are you the storekeeper?"

"Why yes, I am," the young man said as he turned around. 

He was stunned for a few moments by Vy's beauty but he quickly regained his composure and asked her how he could help her. 

"I would like to purchase this book. May I know how much it would be," Vy held out the book to the shopkeeper. 

The young man took a quick look at the book and replied, "3 coppers will do."

Vy felt that the price was fair and paid him on the spot and went on her way. 

"Wait, are you the girl from the inn? I bumped into you there the other night," the shopkeeper caught up to Vy and asked. 

Vy turned back and raised an eyebrow, "Is that just something you say to pick up a girl or the actual truth?"

The young man grinned, "No, I probably would have said something more charming. But we met on the second floor, didn't we? You were coming out of your room and I bumped into you?"

The man was right, they did meet. It happened on her first day in town after she had left her belongings in her room, she had decided to step out for a quick walk around town. She had bumped into him. 

"Oh, yes, now I remember. Yes, we did," Vy replied. 

The young man nodded and reached out his hand for a handshake, "Name's Nestor, Nestor Pollock."

Vy shook his hand, "I'm Vyrena, Vyrena Blackfire. It's nice to meet you but I've got to go. See you around."

Before he could keep her any further, she disappeared into the crowd. Nestor didn't think much of it. When they first met at the inn; he was drunk and could barely remember anything. He remembered little of how she looked but noted that she smelled like the smoked wood of the forest. Her charcoal black hair was different from most of the girls in town. 

When she approached him in the store, he did not recognize her immediately. Her clothes were different but the hair colour helped him to identify her.

-At least I know her name now.- he thought to himself. 

Vyrena made her way back to her stall to put away the things she had bought before heading over to Carole's stall. To her surprise, there was a large group of people crowding around her stall. Vy could hear heated voices getting louder and louder. She pushed her way through the crowd to see Carole arguing with Walron.

“Did you just reply me?”

“You can talk? You can converse with me?”

Vyrena was amazed. She knew from the memories of the host that this has never happened before. This was new.

-Why are you in my mind?-

-Adapt? Adapt to this new world?-

She pondered what that meant, but she had more pressing questions.

COUNTRY V.
L-CITY.
VINTAGE GROUND PALACE.

Reporters gathered around the red carpet of the Vintage Ground Palace with their cameras and notepads ready to grasp any scope the night might bring.

 A white limousine pulled over and five bodyguards quickly walked from the side to protect the man and woman getting down from the car. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. In fact, this couple were known as the golden couple as they complemented each other so well. 

The man wore a low-key golden Dolce latest suit and pants which had a cooling thread-like pockets to it with shoes from Chanel and the woman wore a low-cut off-shoulder golden dress from a famous designer whose clothes were wore by only the upper class. She paired her dress with a bag from Venice which hadn't been released to the public yet and shoes also from Chanel. 

The couple held hands and smiled proudly in front of the camera and the reporters marvelled at their beauty. 

Josh Saint has always enjoyed public appraisal and seeing that the reporters were giving him all the publicity he wanted, he smiled proudly. He felt accomplished as he had the woman he loved with him.

Liyah Myers allowed herself to be led gently by Josh Saint as they walked inside the building. Another car, an ash self-custom made Camry pulled over and all the reporters rushed to see the person inside. This car was the only one of three kinds in the world and one was known to belong to the heir of Saint Group, the low-key President Aaron Saint. 

Seeing the reporters rush to the man in the car, the couple's face changed drastically as all attention was taken away from them. 
Josh Saint glared fiercely at Aaron as his bodyguards protected him from the reporters. Liyah's eyes showed a glimmer of delightfulness but she quickly masked it and held Josh's hand and spoke 
'Josh, let's go in. He is doing it on purpose'. 
Josh smiled and walked inside with Liyah. Aaron watched the two as they entered into the building and he smiled to the reporters and went in with Morris.

INSIDE THE AUCTION HALL.

Morris showed Aaron to his seat in the front row. Aaron sat and turned to his right and noticed Josh and Liyah seated three seats to his seat. Liyah's eyes lit up as she saw Aaron looking at her and she smiled. Aaron stared at her blankly with no expressions and turned away to look at the auctioneer at the stage.
 Morris walked to Aaron and sat beside him whispering to him 
'Boss, I just found out something, Josh wants to buy the necklace for Miss Myers' 

Aaron smirked 
'so, he intends to empty his pockets for a woman? He must really be in love'.
 
Morris smiled and sat straight facing the stage. Their small exchange didn't escape Josh as he intentionally put his arm around Liyah's shoulders. The sudden touch made her quiver and she turned to look at Josh and smiled.

The auctioneer spoke as he stood at the stage. 
'As today is a very important night, we wish to not waste anyone's time and go straight for the kill since we have a party after this. Tonight, we will be auctioning a jewellery from famous designer Natalia Hanson from Janice. This necklace is the only one in the world and has received so much appreciations. Its name came from Natalia Hanson's first interview at Janice. At that time, when the necklace was in its development stage, after seeing it, she gave it the name shadowed beauty. The necklace was bought by Brian Cobbey, her husband and given back to her as a present, but, Natalia Hanson wanted the world to see it and as Vintage is celebrating its 100th anniversary, she decided to donate it. The money from tonight will go into supporting children with Autism. Thank you ladies and gentlemen, now the auction will begin'. 

The guests clapped their hands and the necklace was brought out and place in a glass sealed with bars. 

The golden moon sign from the necklace shone and made the people marvelled. Liyah looked at the necklace with admiration and love. 
The auctioneer started mentioning the price and Josh sat up straight. 'The auction price for shadowed beauty is $5 million dollars'. The guests put their plates up and started coating their prices

'$6 million dollars'
'$7 million dollars'
$ 8 million dollars' 
$ 15 million dollars'

The guests turned and looked at Josh after he mentioned the price that silenced them. The auctioneer smiled and spoke '$15 million dollars anyone else? Going for $15 million dollars 1, 2…'

$ 25 million dollars'

 Everybody turned to look at Aaron Saint with admiration while Josh starred with shock. Liyah clutched her fist nervously. 

Aaron smirked at Josh as if daring him to put up a higher price if he had the guts.
'$30 million dollars' Josh spoke and looked at Aaron proudly. 

Aaron smiled and sent a text to someone and got up to go out. The auctioneer then declared Josh Saint as the winner of the jewellery. Liyah watched Aaron as he went out.

AFTER AUCTION PARTY.
A slender woman with beautiful features walked towards Aaron with twins each at her side. She smiled and spoke as she snatched the glass of wine Aaron Saint just picked from the waiter. 

'You are one dangerous man; I didn't expect my necklace to be sold at that amount. The foundation would be so grateful to you. Can you see my heart which is screaming of appreciation?'

 Aaron Saint chuckled and spoke as he hugged the kids 

'I see your mother has learned to sweet talk now. How are you Cherry and Perry?'

 Perry pouted and spoke 'Uncle Aaron, I missed you.' 

Aaron smiled 'I missed you too, Perry.' 'Is it only Perry you missed?' 

Aaron turned and held Cherry's hand 'Hello beautiful, will you be my date tonight?' 

'Tell me that when I'm 18 but, by then you will be old and mom said I shouldn't date old men' 
Natalia and Aaron laughed so hard at the child's response 'Ouch, that hurts my pride Cherry.' Natalia smiled and spoke to the kids.

'Go and bring your daddy, tell him I'm with Aaron Saint'. The kids ran away to look for their father leaving Aaron and Natalia.

'Natalia Hanson'
'Aaron Saint'. 
They laughed and chatted.

'How could you be so ruthless? When you called me and asked if I could apt the price last night, I was confused. Now, I understand'. I should warn my husband to not get into your bad books'

'I should be saying that. Your husband is more dangerous than me'. Natalia saw Liyah walking their way.

'Oops. Looks like you have company'. Aaron turned and saw Liyah getting closer to them. 

Liyah smiled at Aaron and spoke 'Aaron, won't you introduce us?' Natalia smiled at Aaron sparing no face at all for Liyah as she said 'I should go and look for my kids'. 

'Sure, go ahead, Nat'. Liyah watched Natalia as she walked away and turned to Aaron and spoke.

'Am I such an eyesore for you? Such that you can't wait to get out of my sight'? Aaron smiled.

'Those are your words. Excuse me!'
 
Aaron Saint turned to walk away but Liyah held his hand.

'Aaron, can you forgive me? I really love Josh'. 

Aaron looked at the slender hand holding his hand and shook it away while saying 'there is nothing to forgive, and I don't really care about your love story with Josh'.

'You are still harsh towards me. Can I interpret that as you still caring about me? Actually, I've been keeping tabs on you'. 

Aaron turned to face Liyah and spoke 'you are delusional, maybe you should consult a psychiatrist. I don't go back to my vomit; you know that very well more than anyone else'.

 Liyah stood frozen on the spot after hearing Aaron's last words. She chuckled sarcastically and watched him walk away.

MEANWHILE BACK IN D-CITY.
KASH FAMILY HOSPITAL
WARD 003.
The nurse in-charge for night duty opened the door and walked into the ward. The bowl of water suddenly fell to the flow as she stood watching the girl whose eyes were opened and also starring at her. She screamed and ran out of the ward. August blinked twice and looked at the door that has being left opened by the shocked nurse.

It was definitely love at first sight for August Maijune the day she first saw Aaron Saint in the hospital ward. 

Waking up suddenly from a coma after an accident, August realised she didn’t remember anything about her life and who she really was. The only person she relies on is Aaron Saint who claims to be her guardian.

Aaron Saint was one of the richest single men in D-City. With looks that could put even the most beautiful women to shame, he literally screams money. With a cold exterior, he keeps women at bay but there is just one woman he allows in his life and that is August Maijune. 

After, almost running over her five years ago with his car, he had taken responsibility to take care of August until she remembers who she was.
The two of them begin a romance which is not so ordinary yet thrilling. But, who is August Maijune actually? And how is she going to affect the daily life of
 Aaron Saint?

‘Are you married?’
‘No’
‘Do you have a girlfriend?’
‘No’
‘Do you have a sister who is not really a sister and she is in love with you?’
‘No’
‘Then, am I allowed to fall for you? I think I’m in love with you.’
‘You’re the first woman to be this bold towards me’

This is a romance story about a man who was betrayed by love and a woman who can’t remember her past.
