I obtained a wristwatch called 【Perfect Sex】 accidentally through an online auction. This watch was one of its kind in this world, it can freely regulate the size of the erection or ejaculation time, with 〈Aphrodisiac radio wave〉 applied, it was a machine which can make women lustful then and there. I make full use of 【Perfect Sex】, and one by one beauties will start rolling in.
Accompany me in my adventures after having got my hands on this magical watch.

A young man while online browsing for a movie to watch, read somewhat upsetting comments, unable to leave without saying anything he commented his thoughts unaware of the consequences of such act...
“So? You like superman eh? Let us play a game, shall we?” 
Alas, because of a blunder, a normal young man of modern age finds himself in the world of DC comic as none other but Superman

The camera stopped on the mirror before the main character's face—it felt the main character was carefully examining herself in the mirror as well. The ending score began, and the camera the signified that the main character's point of view stopped in front of the mirror.
The woman in the mirror slowly reached out her hand and caressed the face in the mirror as her body gradually leaned toward the mirror. The entire screen was dominated by the woman in the mirror, and thus, the audience was given a better view. As the main character's hair parted, the woman in the mirror exposed her left eye.
When her left eye slowly increased in size, the camera suddenly pulled back!
The camera seemed to have abandoned the main character's perspective. The camera continued to retreat. It captured the main character's back as well as the woman inside the mirror.
As the camera retreated, the main character who stood in front the mirror turned her body around and looked toward the camera. Her face was as pale as white paper and strangely different from her reflection in the mirror.
At that moment, the scariest thing happened.
After the main character turned around, the woman in the mirror maintained the same posture. She did not move!
She and the main character both looked toward the camera and exposed an expression that could not have been stranger.
The music was suddenly cut off, and the screen went black. Perhaps because this private viewing theater had not been used for so long, even after the movie was over, the lights in theater did not come on automatically, and the surroundings were still shrouded in darkness.
The darkness caused a certain degree of anxiety. Chen Ge remained in his seat and did not move around; he kept his eyes glued to the movie screen. He had a rough idea about the movie that he had just watched. The director used a flashback with the middle of the plot showing the main character's memory.
The 'Left Oculus' grew in a girl by the name of Wenyu, but the thing that was controlling the body of the girl was no longer Wenyu herself. The director merely chose to highlight on a singular part. At the start of the movie, the female ghost kept referring to the main character as Qiumei, which meant that since then, the soul inside the main character's body had already turned into Qiumei.
The parents and doctor that appeared later were all ghosts, or perhaps they only existed in this world that was mainly visible through the left eye. That could explain why Wenyu treated her parents with such aloofness. In reality, they were not her family, but they were the lingering spirit of Wenyu's family.
The middle of the movie could be viewed as Qiumei's memory; it described how Qiumei got transformed into Wenyu. After the memory ended, the movie moved back to reality. Qiumei made a date with her good friend. After the movie that night, she would invite her 'friend' to visit her 'home', and the cycle would begin again.
The nightmare was not broken, and the next girl who had the unfortunate destiny of inheriting the left eye should be Qiumei's friend.
The scariest and most horrifying ghost of the movie was none other than the main character; this was also the first movie that Chen Ge had seen that was taken from the perspective of the ghost.
Other than that, there was a part inside the movie that piqued Chen Ge's interest. Right as the movie was about to end, the method of shooting had a sudden changed. It changed from a first-person view to a third-person view. At the time, there had been no other person in the room. Could it have been that the last camera was taken from the perspective of the audience?
Both the main character and the ghost inside the mirror turned to look at the audience beyond the screen. Chen Ge remembered very clearly that their left eyes were open.
It feels like they might just crawl out of the screen at any second.
Even for Chen Ge, his heart was beating a bit fast after finishing the movie. It would be an exaggeration to say that he was afraid—he merely felt somewhat creeped out. Opening the backpack, Chen Ge allowed the white cat to escape. Scratching the cat's head, he slowly calmed down.
The horror in the movie was manufactured by the director; this is completely different from the ghost stories in real life. If there is a chance, I would like to sit down and communicate with the director.
The screen had been dark for almost three minutes already, but the black phone did not ring with the message that the mission had been completed. Honestly, Chen Ge had no idea where things had gone wrong.
Is it because the movie is too short, so the black phone does not approve of it?
He stood up and stared at the darkened screen. Then a different possibility surfaced in his mind.
Or is it because the movie isn't over yet?
The movie was only twenty minutes long, but if the ghost had escaped from the movie then the movie had not really ended. A light scent of mildew permeated the private viewing theater. Looking around, the rows of seats had the appearance of squat tombstones. The more he studied them, the scarier they became.
The girl with the 'left oculus' could be hiding anywhere in this theater.
Chen Ge was there to complete the mission given by the black phone, and should the movie never end, then his mission would never be completed.
Do I really need to wait here until dawn?
Chen Ge was a very calm and collected person. He was familiar with his strength, and he understood his weakness. Zhang Ya was still hibernating, and it was unknown when she would be able to awaken. Xu Yin was left at the Haunted House, being treated by the red high heels. Currently, the strongest employee that Chen Ge had with him was Bai Qiulin.
With Xu Yin's aid, Ol' Bai had consumed Xiong Qing's heart and evolved into a Half Red Specter. However, he was essentially a Specter who had been forced to become a Half Red Specter. In a real battle, he definitely would not be able to defeat a real Half Red Specter that was covered in resentment.
Left Oculus looks quite powerful. If she suddenly decides to pop up, the white cat and I might not be able to handle it.
Chen Ge had always been careful. If it was not truly necessary, he would not have taken any risk in his life.
The blind man lifted his head to ask Chen Ge, "Brother, it has been quiet for so long already, I believe the movie is over now, right? Can I go now?"
"Since you've called me brother, then I will not spin yards around you and tell you the truth. The female ghost in the movie that we just saw has escaped into the real world."
"The ghost has escaped from the movie‽" The blind man's reaction was more than a bit agitated.
"Don't panic. I have good news and bad news to share with you." Chen Ge reached his hand into the backpack and flipped open the comic.
"How can you still be in the mood for jokes?" The blind man was curled in his seat—it was clear that he was really afraid. "Tell me the bad news first then."
"The bad news is that the female ghost appears to be very dangerous, and she seems to be looking for a scapegoat. We are just unlucky enough to have run into her." Chen Ge provided his analysis calmly.
"This bad luck is forced upon me, okay? Brother, let's not stay here anymore. Let's hurry up and leave, please?" If he had not known that he would not win in a fight, the blind man would have used his cane to fight it out with Chen Ge.
"It is a bit too late to run now. The eye has already seen us both, so she is not going to let us go so easily."
"Fine." The blind man collapsed back into his seat weakly. "Then what is your so-called good news?"
"The good news is I have called many of my friends to join us, and we have a clear advantage of numbers." The sound of pages being turned entered the blind man's ears, and Chen Ge called out the names one by one.
A faded smell of decay filled up theater. In fact, it was strong enough to have overpowered the previous mildew scent.
"Did you smell something? Something is coming!" The blind man gasped in shock.
"Sit where you are and do not panic. Try not to bump into anyone else." Chen Ge already flipped the comic to its last page.
"Those are your friends? When did they arrive? Are they in the room now? How come I didn't hear the door open at all?" No one was there to answer the blind man's questions. If he opened his eyes then, he probably would have fainted on the spot. The originally quiet and empty private viewing theater was now bustling with activity.
The boy with the stink was pushed by the hanging man to the corner of the room, and he rubbed his belly with a sad expression on his face. The students from the sealed classroom at Mu Yang High School raced all over the place joyfully. Ol' Zhou 'tricked' Duan Yue to share a seat with him at the back of theater with a serious expression. They sat apart from the rest.
Elder Wei and the doctors were standing behind the blind man. They softly discussed among themselves the possibility of conducting an operation to help the man see again, and occasionally, professional terms tumbled out of their lips.
The water ghost sat on the front row. She was the sacrifice for bury seed, and this was the first time in her 'life' to have entered a movie theater, so she had an unbridled curiosity about everything. If she could have crawled into the screen, she would have already done so.
Yan Danian was the last who came out from the comic. With unwillingness, he took up the seat at the corner. The Pen Spirit hugged Xiaoxiao, and they sat down next to him. Chen Yalin appeared to have some questions for him about comics.
"Today is my birthday, so I'll treat everyone to a movie. I suppose this can be viewed as one of the employee privileges. This theater is rather small, but I hope you don't mind. When we have enough money, I'll rent an entire IMAX cinema hall for everyone to enjoy." Chen Ge stood up and walked toward the broadcasting room. Bai Qiulin and Elder Wei moved to follow closely behind him.
The blind man sat obediently in his seat. He knew that there were many things around him, but there was an indescribably strange feeling in his heart. Opening his lips, he extended his hands to feel the seat where Chen Ge should be. After realizing that there was no one there, he obediently closed his lips. He did not dare to move or even ask any questions.
"Are there any movies that you would like to watch?" Chen Ge opened the movie list. He was there to complete a mission, but it was different for the employees at the Haunted House, especially the students from Mu Yang High School, who were only allowed to leave their item of possession for a short period of time, so they definitely would not let this chance go to waste.
Going to the movie was a very common experience for a normal person, but for these students, if not for Chen Ge, they would not have experienced this again. There were only several ghost movies in the list, but there was a surprisingly heated argument among the workers. In the end, the majority voted to watch the movie called 'Name'. It seemed to be a movie related to someone's name. Chen Ge glanced at the cover. The director was still Chang Gu, and the main character's face looked about eighty percent similar to Wenyu.
"Alright, get back to your seat now. Do not wander about after the movie has started. Also, pay attention to your surroundings. Someone extra might appear because this theater is apparently haunted."
Looking at theater filled with ghosts, Chen Ge felt like it was rather preposterous saying something like that.
A group of ghosts watching a horror movie at a movie theater, I wonder if this is like watching a documentary for them.
The employees heeded Chen Ge's advice. They quickly shuffled back to their seats, and they were kind enough to leave two empty seats in the middle.
"Why are you guys leaving two empty seats here?"
Chen Ge pressed the play button, and the background music came out from every corner of theater. The music circulated in their ears, and it created the feeling that they were there in person. Even though this movie theater was rather old, the equipment was the top of the line. After all, it had once been used to serve the visitors at a high-end holiday villa.
The music accompanied the appearance of the images on screen. Those workers who had not experienced much in the way of the world and those who had perished way before their prime were feeling excited already. Some shrieks and howls echoed through the audience—the sounds that they made were even scarier than the sound effects of the movie itself.
What if they're scared by the movie? Normally, they're the ones scaring others.
Chen Ge could not worry about that much anyway—he just wanted to complete the mission given by the black phone as soon as possible.
Moving to the seat that the employees had reserved for him, Chen Ge had Bai Qiulin sit next to him while the blind man took up the seat on the other side of him. He had gained entry due to the blind man's help, but the least he could do was guarantee the man's safety.
"Brother… have you returned?" With Chen Ge's support, the blind man was led to the middle of the theater. His legs were shaking, and it felt like he was walking on cotton candy instead of firm ground.
"Hmm, it's okay now. You are very safe. There is no need to worry." Chen Ge hugged the white cat. "You can stay and watch this movie without worry. After this movie is over, I will personally escort you back."
"Are you sure it is safe now? My heart is racing, and I suddenly feel so cold like I have been shoved inside a fridge." The blind man hugged the cane, and his eyelids kept twitching. It was as if he was losing control of his ocular muscle, and they could flip open at any moment.
"You're just imagining things." Chen Ge gave the blind man a few words in consolation. With his hand scratching the white cat's chin, his back leaning against the cushion, he enjoyed the movie with maximum comfort.
"That's impossible! I'm not imagining stuff! Are you sure your friends are all here? How come I feel this place is scarier and creepier than before?" A cold breath escaped from the blind man's lips. "Brother, are you even listening to me? Don't you feel even a bit unsettled at all?"
"I could not have felt more comfortable. In fact, if possible, I wish to order some snacks like coke and popcorn." That idea really did cross Chen Ge's mind earlier. Since they were there to party, food and drinks were required, but taking the mental elasticity of the takeout courier into consideration, Chen Ge abolished that thought from his mind. "It is your mind playing tricks on you. Just relax and it'll be fine."
The movie officially started, but the atmosphere was completely different from before. The lighting and sound effects did not change—the only thing that changed was the audience.
Chen Ge was deeply drawn into the movie; he combined all the information that he had managed to find on Left Oculus online, and the movies that he had seen that night and somewhat of a clue showed itself.
The movie, Left Oculus, had been destroyed already, but the private viewing theater preserved all the other works by the director, Chang Gu, and the works were all somehow related to Left Oculus.
Why would this director keep focusing on this theme of Left Oculus?
A part of the plot from Deskmate crossed Chen Ge's mind. Wenyu's father once called her by her full name, and the girl's name was Chang Wenyu—she shared the same surname with Chang Gu.
Could the girl with the left eye be Chang Gu's sister?
In Deskmate, at Wenyu's home, one would occasionally see the parents or the doctor, but there was definitely not a character who could be Chang Gu.
If Chang Gu really was Chang Wenyu's family member, then it could have indirectly explained that, during shooting, Chang Gu was still alive, but due to some reason, she did not show up on screen.
Chen Ge was suddenly reminded of the last scene of Deskmate.
With the change in perspective, is it possible that Qiumei and the ghost in the mirror weren't looking at the audience but Chang Gu behind the camera?


The hearse with the weird odor slowed to a stop before the entrance. The sound of pebbles could be heard bouncing on the ceiling. There were footsteps coming from the corridor, and there seemed to be someone sawing next door. The door knob to the room rattled slightly, and the faucet in the bathroom kept dripping even though it had been screwed shut. There was a rubber ball that rolled on its own underneath the bed. Wet footsteps started to surface one after another on the floor. 
At 3 am, Chen Ge held a cleaver in his hand as he hid beside the room heater. The call he was trying to make was finally answered. "Landlord, is this what you meant by 'the house can be a little crowded at night'‽"

Once she got a hang of the snowmobile, Hazel was having the time of her life. The freezing air on her nose or the fact that it everything was tinted orange from her goggles didn't detract from that. 
Will told her that people had to wear goggles both to protect their eyes from the wind and because the sun glinting off the snow could be blinding. She accepted without complaint though she was so laden down with gear that it seemed like she was being sent off into battle. 
Everything she was wearing was so thick that she could barely move. Bending her elbows and knees was a bit strenuous but that didn't matter. She was actually driving a snowmobile all by herself!
Riding on the back of someone else's was all well and good but there was something special about being the one in charge of controlling it. Hazel intended to spend as much time outside as her body would allow so she could soak these breathtaking views into her soul. 
As they drove they stopped frequently to get a better look and particularly lovely views. She was sure to take plenty of pictures to use as references for future paintings. Her mind was bursting with ideas. 
Unfortunately, there were still all of those bonus chapters to deal with. Why must she stay cooped up inside on her iPad when the world was beckoning her? 
Will stopped up ahead and Hazel followed suit. "This is the best view on the whole trail," he informed her once she hopped off the snowmobile. 
She lifted her goggles to see it properly and absolutely agreed with his assessment. Everything glittered like diamonds in the sun from the trees to the frozen pond below. A deer sauntered by slowly in the distance. 
"It's beautiful," she said in awe. "I wish I had my easel so I could capture this. Though I'm not sure how I would get the sparkle right because I've never painted snow before."
"You'll figure it out," Will replied confidently with a pleased smile on his face. "I'm glad you like it. I've wanted to show you this place for a while but had to wait until it snowed to get the full effect."
Hazel drank in the view a while longer, certain to take pictures from several angles as references for later, before suddenly feeling a bit mischievous. When her husband wasn't looking she packed together a snowball and lobbed it directly at his back. 
He whipped his head around and grinned crookedly with a golden glint in his eyes. He had accepted her challenge. 
They spent the next ten minutes chucking snowballs at each other and Hazel had a hard time finding cover to duck behind. The next time they did this they should construct snow forts to hide behind. She had seen things like that on TV before. 
Eventually she conceded defeat after way too many direct hits and flopped down in the snow. She complained, "Your aim is superhuman! You didn't miss me once!"
Will laughed. "You give me too much credit. There was one that barely grazed you."
She rolled her eyes before sighing happily. This had been the perfect break from constantly working on that hateful comic that had stolen all of her time. As soon as she defrosted at home it was back to work. 
She wished she could fast forward to when the convention was over so she could go sightseeing in Florida. Will had promised to take her to Paris a few weeks later during Christmas because neither of them had ever bothered celebrating before and they figured less people would travel on a holiday. 
There were so many good things to look forward to once she passed through the crucible of constantly working on a comic she wasn't even all that invested in. It may be Muffincake's baby but to her it was simply work. Her babies were the pieces of art she got to choose to create. 
And Hazel couldn't deny looking forward to meeting her online friend either. It had been years since she had been excited about meeting someone new since people weren't her favorite. 
Spending time with her should be entertaining at the very least. She was overly finicky and changed her mind too often but she had her funny moments. Hazel's curiosity about the woman behind the screen should get her through the weekend if Muffincake's personality ended up being too much to handle. 
Having reached the prettiest part of the trail, they decided to turn around before it got too dark. She sighed and stretched out on a couch in front of the fireplace after taking off her wet snow clothes back at home. 
"I'll make dinner," Will volunteered. "I know you still have work to do."
"Don't remind me," she groaned. "But thank you."
Once her fingers were no longer numb from the cold, it was tragically time to get back to work. The comic really hadn't gotten all that far yet. The female lead had barely met the male lead and still didn't know he was a prince. 
Right now she was rebelling against her oppressive mother and brother for wanting to marry her off to a duke she knew was a villain from reading the novel she had landed in. She was preparing to run away and would have gotten away with it if she hadn't run into the male lead at the beach. 
Muffincake had been picky about this part because it was an important turning point for the prince's previously taciturn character. He ends up proposing to the girl and teasing her as her brother drags her back home. The most important thing was getting the facial expressions right. 
Hazel had read other fantasy romance comics as research when she was hired in order to get a better idea of what the readers would expect. In one of them, during a moment of rage where the evil empress is supposed to be narrowing her eyes one is narrowed and the other is normal.
The whole effect of the scene was ruined (at least to her artist's eye) because of that mistake. If the facial expression is wrong, the emotion behind it is wrong too. She had been double checking each sketch with Muffincake to be sure it was what she wanted for her 'babies.'
Thankfully she wasn't as picky as usual. She seemed to understand Hazel was under a strict deadline and didn't have time to deal with her typical nonsense.

“I’ll marry anyone who will take me!” Hazel declared loudly. “I don’t need love!”

“Get down!” Will hissed. “You don’t know what kind of people are lurking around in here! Talking like that might get you killed!”

Hazel Dixon thought she was putting her troubled past behind her. But when the person she thought she trusted most betrays her, she loses her head and proposes to an entire bar full of strangers. 

Enter Will Sheffield, a charming stranger who decides to take her up on her offer to save her from herself. 

He spoils her rotten without expecting anything in return and Hazel's confusion only grows. She doesn't know why he is acting this way. Or why he reminds her so much of the 'dangerous' childhood friend she thought was gone forever...

Monday. 
Li Lanni's class had successfully completed the first volume of the comic they were drawing.
Today, they started the second volume. 
As usual, after the lecture was done, the professor asked them to draw the comics for the second volume based on the story they were asked to read. While they were doing so, the professor walked around the classroom, silently assessing the comics made by the students. 
'This batch of students have improved a lot' the professor was delighted when he saw the paintings. Each one of them was unique and creative.
But then he stopped next to Li Lanni with a frown when he saw her painting. This girl… 
To avoid making her feel humiliated, he waited until the class ended, then called her to his office and questioned her. "Have you really read the novel and understood it?" 
Li Lanni nodded, wondering why he would ask such a question. They were in the second volume already. Wasn't that a given? 
"Really? I don't think you have really understood it enough. Because if you had, you would know that the novel is quite a happy one. Your comic wouldn't hold such darkness." 
Darkness? Li Lanni thought back to her comic. 
"It is easier for people who have read the original novel to overlook such a plot error. However, new readers will misunderstand it. As I said before, you should put yourself into character every time you make a sketch. Also, this is not the only problem I have noticed in your drafts. I am disappointed to say this, but your performance has significantly deteriorated since you first joined the class. While the others are improving, you are seriously lagging behind. Are you experiencing some problems? If you have some problems, you can share it with me." Though his words were condemning, his voice was gentle.
"No…" Li Lanni frowned, all this seeming new to her. When had she not put herself into character? 
"I will not take up too much of your time, but I haven't expected this results from you, who hwas the grand winner in the previous painting contest. Go on and think about it." The tutor said with a gentle smile. He hesitantly added, "You should know that no matter how much effort you put in something if you are being forced into it, all your efforts will be futile." 
"Thank you, sir. However, I'm not being forced into anything. I willingly joined this class." 
When Li Lanni left his office, the first thing she did was open her locker and take out all the drafts to take a look. These were just copies, she kept the originals at home but had copies in the studio locker for reference. 
She checked through them from the first chapter. At first, there wasn't any change. But from the fourth chapter, she began to notice that what the tutor had said was true. Seriously, if one were to see her latest chapter, there was no one would believe that she had joined the class by winning a contest. 
More importantly, it looked like the story had strayed from the original. If the dialogue were to be added, it was sure that it would look misplaced. 
But hadn't she been working hard? 
What went wrong?
___
Later in the afternoon,
Ji Xiehan completed his work earlier, pushed the less urgent documents aside before leaving his office. He would work on them later at night.
After asking Lin Jian and being laughed at for half an hour, he finally got his way around finding the least frequented movie theater. He had selected a popular movie more suitable for female audiences and booked tickets. 
All the previous times, he had got her to go out with him using schemes and tricks. This was the first time she had willingly agreed to go somewhere with him. This should be considered their first official date, right? 
So he followed Lin Jian's advice and found a present. He already had one; the bracelet he had bought her when they went shopping but didn't have the chance to give it to her. 
He wore the watch that was a match with it and took the bracelet with him. 
Feeling more confident, he let out the breath he didn't realize he was holding and went to pick Li Lanni up. 
The girl didn't make him wait too long. Two minutes after he sent her a text, he saw her exit the villa, wearing a blue dress that matched the color of his tie. 
He couldn't help smiling. What a sweet coincidence. 
"Did I keep you waiting?" She asked, her eyes staying on his tie for a few seconds. 
"No. I just arrived. You look beautiful." 
She blushed and unknowingly tightened her fists. "T-thank you." She had dressed up for him. It would be disappointing if she didn't look beautiful. She was happy that he liked it, and was even more pleased that their clothes were a complementing match. They looked just like a couple in love. Though she refused to accept it, she was delighted inside.
Once they were at the movies, he went ahead to buy snacks as she waited for him. "I booked tickets for a teenage drama 'Our Youthful Love.' I didn't know what kind of movies you liked, so I asked some of my female colleagues, and everyone said this was a nice one." He informed. 
"Haha…" When Li Lanni heard him say, she broke into a peal of laughter.
"What's so funny?" he was puzzled by her sudden laughter. 
Li Lanni burst into another round of laughter. "Haha..oh my god...haha..I can't control myself ..haha..Your face when you said the name of the movie was amusing." 
Ji Xiehan laughed at himself too. It was just that he was a little unsure. After buying the tickets for the teenage drama, he only later realized that it was full of fluffy romance. Then he remembered that when they talked about online novels, she mentioned a few that she liked. Those were all detective novels, and even if there were some romance ones, the main theme was a crime. 
Most people liked the same genre of movies and novels, so she should like detective and mystery, right?
But then again, she played otome games once in a while. So he didn't know whether to change the tickets or not. 
Li Lanni figured out why he was confused. She felt happy that he prioritized her choice. "I'm not really picky with what I read or watch. I only do it to pass the time, so you should have chosen what you like instead." 
"Then let's watch the teenage drama. I've never watched one before." He happily led the way, and she instinctively clung to his arm because he had popcorn and coke in both hands. 
They took a seat close to the front. They were quite early, so there were only a handful of people aside from them.


"Little troubleshooter, we meet again. If you are still thinking of trying to get away, you better give up that silly idea." Ji Xiehan said, pinning her against the wall. 
Li Lanni pushed her fists against his chest. "Is this how you say hi to all your interviewers, Mr. Ji?" 
"There is no interviewer and certainly no interviewee." The man grinned devilishly. "There is only a husband and a wife. My darling, how are you going to compensate for all the emotional damage you caused me by slipping away?" 
"What?" Heavens... just what had she gotten herself into?
...
Her life almost came to an end because of a tragic accident but instead, she lost her memory. 
Who would have thought that just when she she was starting to get used to her new life, she would get trapped in a whirlwind engagement? 

Out of all kinds of injustice fate could do to her, why did her fiancé have to be that white-haired pervert?! 

" You better not fall in love with me!" she snarled at the man grinning before her. 
Ji Xiehan's smile deepened. "Are you... kidding me? Why would I fall in love with you?" 
Li Lanni: "You better mark your words." 
The man grinned. Of course I will not fall in love with a woman I already love. I'm keeping my promise, right?
Ji Xiehan took up the challenge to crawl into her heart.

"Yes." Secretary Xiao Liu nodded. Then, he got agitated again. "Currently, because our Zhong Dian website is too explosively popular, many companies contacted us to purchase the copyright to adapt our app. Negotiations are currently going on for all the copyrights for the novels of the five Supreme Gods, and many have already been sold. And the amount earned from these copyrights…" Speaking up to this point, he paused for a while, then cautiously said, "Extremely high!"
Copyright! The explosive popularity on the internet had resulted in various developments regarding the copyrights of the novels!
This was indeed a super good piece of big news. Though a single copyright alone might not be able to be sold for much, with so many books, if they were all sold, how much money would that bring in?! 
"This is good news!" Hong Weiguo was shocked. "Then, Xiao Liu, currently, how much have we earned from the various copyrights?"
Hong Weiguo understood the value of the copyrights. However, he didn't have a clear idea of how much the copyrights for the online novels could be sold for. He only knew that the copyrights would definitely be worth a lot of money!
"CEO Hong, currently, the movie adaptation copyright for the novels of the Supreme God, Dark Dragon of the Universe, has been sold for 1.2 million, the copyright for the television drama has been sold for 850,000, the copyright for the online gaming adaptation has been sold for 1.6 million, the copyright for the publication of the simplified Chinese version has been sold for 2 million, and the copyright for the comic has been sold for 1.5 million." Speaking up to this point, Xiao Liu looked at the document again. "Adding up everything, the total is… 7.15 million. This is only for the copyright of one novel."
Upon hearing what he said, Hong Weiguo and the others stared at each other and took in deep breaths at the same time.
7.15 million!
This figure seemed much inferior to the one from the smartphone reading app, but the significance behind this was definitely extraordinary!
Copyright development, what did this mean? This meant that the online novel website still had much more potential to be discovered!
If one novel's copyright was sold, there would be a second one! A third one!
By then, the authors would also write better works, and then it would snowball till a solid and huge amount. In that case, coupled with the earnings from the subscriptions, it would increase in many folds!
Reputation effect, this was the reputation effect!
"Old Hong, looks like this time, we've earned big money!" Mu Tie sighed. "Though it looks only so-so now, in the future, when it increases in scale, we can better join forces with various companies in various aspects and form a big network! A true network formed between the internet and reality!"
"Yes!" Liu Yihui remarked. "We can venture into other aspects through the novel website. After there are more sales of copyrights, by then, we can firmly take control of the publishing, film, drama, online gaming, comic, and other various channels! Once these channels open… Hehe, we can expand towards anything related to literature and words!" 
Three people, by only saying these few sentences, had decided on so many business services. No wonder Xiao Liu said that these were even more impressive compared to purely earning from subscriptions!
After all, there was a limit to the subscription earnings, because there was only a limited number of people who were willing to read books. It was very possible that once it grew towards a certain extent, it would reach a point of saturation.
But there was no limit to carrying out expansions through the copyrights!
If people didn't read books, they would still watch movies and dramas. If they didn't watch movies and dramas, they would play games. If they didn't play games, there would still be other aspects that they would come into contact with. Even little children would read comics adapted from novels to kill time.
And once all these had been expanded, by then, the level of influence of Sangle, Jianbao Plaza and Turkey Software would definitely be more wide-reaching!
"Sigh," Hong Weiguo took in a deep breath. "This child Dali…" Speaking up to this point, he didn't really know what kind of tone he should use. He only sighed and helplessly said, "Who would think that such a big thing was initially just for that small rascal to squander on?"
"This…" Mu Tie also felt that the world was pretty amazing. "Back then, how much money did Dali spend to make this? It would cost at least tens of millions, right?"
"How is it possible to cost so much." Hong Weiguo shrugged. "Back then, he only spent 2 million to buy a novel website that was on the verge of closing down."
Mu Tie: "…" Liu Yihui: "…"
The office was silent for a full one minute, then Secretary Xiao Liu cautiously said, "Oh right, CEO Hong, there is something else that I forgot to say just now…"
"Something else?" Hong Weiguo felt that there was too much information to take in today. "What else is there?"
"Mm…" Xiao Liu looked at the document. "Currently, a few novels at our website have been spotted by an editor at Merika. They're planning to translate it to English, then publish and sell it in Merika. Currently, the copyright fee that they offered is one million USD per novel."
"This…" This time, Hong Weiguo and the other two were truly shocked. "Our novels are going out of Asia and onto the global scale?!"
Xiao Liu nodded. "S… Seems like it…"
…
While Hong Weiguo and the others were exclaiming in awe, Hong Dali was preparing for his end-of-year examinations bored out of his mind…
This world was slightly different from his previous life—the lessons here were simpler, and consequently, the holidays were slightly shorter by about half a month or so… 
After all, Hong Dali was an outstanding university student in his previous life. He could still handle all these high school lessons, but the problem was that the history of this world was completely different from that in his previous life, so he decisively became a freeloader—
Hong Dali winked at Ji Zhiruo who was not far away from him. "Zhiruo, multiple choice question, multiple choice question!" 
Ji Zhiruo stared at the invigilator and didn't dare to move. However, Hong Dali had provided much help to her family, so she couldn't reject him. The little lass was, however, quite witty, and very soon, her eyes lit up and she stretched out a finger—question one!
Hong Dali fiercely nodded and asked, "The answer?"
Then, Ji Zhiruo pointed at her chest…
Hong Dali: "What does this mean?"
Ling Yi at the side instantly understood. "C!"
"Oh…" Hong Dali didn't care about what it meant and directly chose C.
Then, Ji Zhiruo stretched out two fingers. Question two. Then, she pointed at another girl in the class. Ling Yi: "Choose B!"
For the subsequent questions, while Ling Yi wrote his own answers, he relayed the answers to Hong Dali: "A… D… D… C… B… A… D… B… C…"
Very soon, he completed all the multiple choice questions. Hong Dali heaved a long sigh of relief. "Hope that I'll be able to pass…"
Ring—
Very soon, the examination ended. All the students in the class stood up and cheered, "We've finally finished taking the exams! It's vacation time now, hahahaha!"
Meanwhile, Hong Dali curiously asked Ling Yi, "Ling Yi, how did you know which answers Zhiruo was referring to?"
Ling Yi straightly answered, "Bra size!"
The boys in the class "oh-ed" in unison, and the girls' faces turned very red!
But after all, it was vacation. He had to go out and celebrate. Hong Dali laughed heartily, ignoring the shy faces of the girls around him as he loudly said, "Summer vacation! Brothers, let Brother Dali bring you to play! Whoever wants to come along, quickly sign up for it!"
"I'll go, I'll go!" In no time, all the students in the class raised their hands.
"OK! Then let's set off! Hahaha!" Hong Dali snapped his finger. "The outer area of Tianjing Mountain, let's go!"
Everyone instantly went out. Tang Muxin was waiting outside the room long ago, and once she saw Hong Dali, she went forward, smiled and said, "Dali, how was the exam?"
Hong Dali: "No problem, I wrote all the bra sizes correctly!"
All the girls were greatly embarrassed again…
Tang Muxin ferociously stepped on Hong Dali's feet. "Despicable!"
"Pain pain pain!" Hong Dali jumped up. "I said it wrong. I mean that I've managed to answer all the multiple choice questions… Let's not talk about this, quickly quickly, to the outer area of Tianjing Mountain. I've just received a message. Uncle Chief's side is going to send the Mechanical Holy Garments over!"
…
Tianjing City, southern city area, in the Qian Family's secret villa.
Through the meticulous styling of the makeup artist, Shiroishi Kazuma had completely changed his style. Now, he looked like a middle-aged man around 40 years or above, and his mustache had been shaved completely. He was bald, and his eyes were not big but were very expressive.
It wasn't an overstatement to say that unless someone really knew that he was Shiroishi Kazuma, even if they sat opposite him, they would definitely be unable to recognize him.
"Young Master Qian, how are things going regarding the things I've instructed on?" Currently, Shiroishi Kazuma was sitting on the sofa, looking through the information regarding online gaming. The two online games that Ko Gohon had managed back then were called "Spiritual Sword" and "Dragon Domain" respectively. They were both the big productions by a Korean company and were full 3D online games. The scene was grand, the magic effects were magnificent, and there was diverse content in the game. Based on this, it proved that Ko Gohon's taste was still not too bad. 
"Mr. Shi, it has all been arranged." Qian Youjin respectfully said, "Our men have already applied and registered for two readymade companies to create a smoke screen. I believe that nobody will be able to discover us behind it." 
"Mm, that's good." Shiroishi Kazuma nodded. "We definitely cannot give them any opportunity to attack me. How's the development of the online games?"
"They can already be publicly tested." Qian Youjin slowly said, "The internal testing in the company has been completed; there aren't any problems. But there are many able people on the internet, and it's unsure whether someone would find out any BUGs, so the company's suggestion is to publicly test it for half a month or so, and if there isn't any problem, then we can officially launch it."
"OK, I understand." 
Qian Youjin thought for a while, then asked, "But, Mr. Shi, how should we advertise it to achieve the best results?"
Shiroishi Kazuma took a sip of tea, smiled and said, "Speaking of advertising, we can also think about it in another way. If you're a player and you see a gaming product on the online shop, what would cause you to download it? Most of the players would refer to the introductory page to decide whether to download the game. So, go and get the company to write a complete game introduction right away. The more detailed, the better."
"Also, create two good-looking and grand webpages for the online games. We definitely cannot neglect the introductory page for the gaming products. This is where the players will form their first impression of the game. And when a player enters in the website out of curiosity, we have only about one minute or less to introduce the game, and from there, let the player decide whether to try playing it or not."


"I have to squander; otherwise, won't it be a waste of my parent's talent at earning money?" Hong Dali answers a reporter's question matter-of-factly. 

Just after the interview ends, Hong Dali opens the Great Prodigal System's interface and looks at the various good stuff displayed in it. Stroking his chin, he mumbles to himself, "I just need to squander 200 billion yuan more to exchange for the blueprint of the core technology, Engine Destruction, found in the strongest humanoid mecha weapon, Neo Granzon. Looks like I'll have to work harder!"

"I want to splurge! I want to squander!"


August 7th 2020, Friday 12:40

One month before the graduation, Ansel spent the rest of his time by having a new hobby, reading web novels. He was fond of reading, only non-fiction, but then he found out a fiction online that somehow answers some of his questions that he had months ago. Ansel now had to binge read stuff that correlated with his life.

They waited on a train station, Ansel, with his new hobby, scrolled his phone, reading. He didn't care about the surrounding. A crowd that brought luggage and big bags shoved out from the arrival door. Some meet their family or their friends; some were rummaging their phone ordered a taxi. The hum of a diesel machine filled the atmosphere of the place.

"It's quite strange that you changed a lot, after the crazy dream. Years ago, I offered you to go to the comic market, but you refused. And now?"

"So, that place is where a bunch of nerds socialize and have their fun?"

"No! It's hard to explain it to a normie like you!" Brian scratched his head. "It's not just nerd fest, some creators, artist; they made something to be sold there."

"And the reason that I should care is?"

"Raven, your crush went there, as a contributor?"

Ansel's face flushed red. "It's Maven. I know I know that I was asked to accompany her, that's it."

"Whoa whoa~ you know, you could 'propose' her when she was in the crowd."

"NO! If she rejects me, my life would be a joke again! She's a writer; probably another writer has an eye for her, write A+ poetry. Me? My thesis was trash. I wonder why Mr. Sigmund just nods and accept it."

Brian laughed, he patted Ansel's shoulder and said, "small talks would be fine. Besides, your crazy dream meeting a deity that could twist a time was a good point to make her … interested?"

It was a coincidence when Ansel found out about her. When he blurted out his crazy dream online, she gave him a link to a story. It was one of the top-notch web novels. Chronos was an antagonist, much to his surprise, he followed the story. The girl was so enthusiastic about her writings; day and night she kept talking about it. Ansel offered help to be her beta reader.

He was quite pissed off knowing that Chronos was an antagonist, and so he asked for the story to change. The reader liked what he advised, and then the story's rank rocketed into the first rank.

The relationship got closer; Ansel had a chance to get her real contact for the sake of knowing her. She was a cutie pie, shoulder length jet black hair, big eyes, small lip and nose. Ansel sometimes imagined her wearing a Lolita dress. There goes his fantasy.

She asked him to accompany her to an annual comic market in Jakarta. This was her first experience and the best moment for her to contribute to the event. Ansel said yes.

"Well, if I keep telling her about it, and when she finished, the relationship will be boring." Ansel pouted, "Best to know about her other side by this, even though this comic market stuff was not my thing."

Brian disappointed, "thought you were enthusiastic for it."

"I—"

"Ansel Cakara? Where's that guy?" a man called him from distance.

Ansel searched for it, he looked at the entrance. A small girl with small luggage and brown sling bag searched for someone. Beside her, her father in a brown jacket brought a bag of food. Ansel tiptoed. It was her, Maven. Ansel waved at her. Maven ran to him, she was swallowed by the crowd, perks of being tiny. Lucky, her father takes her to them.

"She's so small, like your sister," said Brian

"Ah! Sorry, traffic was hell, let's get for the tickets. Bye pa," Maven kissed her father's hand.

"Take care!"

Their cargo was the last one, it was spacious. Lucky it was not peak season. A few people filled it. The tail of the train was one cargo away. The diesel hum, creaking sound of wooden ramps, and a soothing wind were their companions in the travel.

Maven decided to sit alone on the right side, near the window. She put on her earphone.

"You missed the chance~"

"Shut up."

A young couple entered the cargo. The man was tall and skinny, he has tan complexion, his hair was neatly combed. The girl has a curvy body, which could make a sane male eyed on her. A fair lady more than a girl, the girl startled Maven.

"Ey Meg! I don't know you're going too!"

"Course I have to go there! Fan sign session!"

Brian leans to Ansel, "Oh boy, famous cosplayer, Puffy-chan. I'm too shy to greet her."

"Don't be a creep," Ansel whispered.

"I should've gone with you." Maven said.

"Uh, I … stayed at my boyfriend's house."

Brian eyes widened, "man, I wonder what will they—"

"Shhh!" Ansel hit Brian's head

"Those two? Your companion?" Meg asked.

"Yup," Maven walked to them, she pointed to Ansel, "the red jacket, Ansel. The big guy, Brian."

"Ansel? Oh~"

There was a murmur, mostly girl's talk, sometimes giggling. The girl's talk was about love, sometimes Maven blushed and shook her head. Ansel looked at her, Gosh, he blushed again. Ansel looked away at the window, ignored them.

From behind them, Meg's boyfriend stood beside Brian, "Hello there."

Brian jerked, "You creep me!"

He smiled, "that's my ability, sneaking. My name's Lintang."

"Ansel."

"Brian."

"I heard that. Anyway, first time going to the comic market?"

"I'm not, been there twice, he is," Brian pointed at Ansel.

"Mine's first time, lucky I got my baby brought," Lintang opened his jacket, a camera dangling. "I'm a part-time photographer."

"Nice, I want to learn about photography but I don't know where to start," Ansel said.

"Well, I could explain a lot of it. But start from something simple, something that you like to capture."

"Yeah, you could take a snap of my motorcycle!" Brian suggested.

Ansel spat, "freakin showoff."

"Interested in Itasha?" Lintang asked.

"Used to," Brian scratched his head, "but my father got mad, he said don't put Barbie sticker on your motorcycle. It's not Barbie, it's my waifu, Asuka Langley Soryuu! Anta baka!"

"More like belong to trash," Ansel sneered.

"One more and I kicked you from this train!"

Lintang wheezed, "My parents also mad when I tried to photo some cosplayers, thinking that I collected some girl photos for dirty stuff, but now," he tipped his head to Meg. "I want to make them understand I don't have that kind of fetish."

"Good luck, parents are hard to deal with especially with 'love' stuff." Ansel retorted.

"Well about Mega they already buy it. But they still didn't accept the reality that I just do photography for pocket money."

"Lucky you, my parents forbid me from any hobbies since my dad smashed my stuff…" Ansel recollected the piece of his memories, some of them happened on the other side of his life, a side where he would pass if things were not fixed. "I forgot when."

"I never heard about that." Brian twitched his eyebrows, "or have I forgotten?"

Ansel bit his lip, he was lost at words, and he couldn't brush them off by telling that the event once happened in another timeline. He has to lie. "Somewhere in junior high, I just remembered that."

"Oh man, that was harsh," Lintang closed the jacket and put his camera inside.

Brian bought the lie. "At least now you could do anything freely."

"Dear passengers, we're about to stop for fifteen minutes in the nearby station. If you wished to depart, please prepare in fifteen minutes. Thank you."

"Finally, stop to smoke," Lintang uttered.

"Smoking? Again? Not under my watch," Meg curled her arms to his neck.

Lintang coughed, "Yes, fair maiden."

..

One person entered the cargo. The sound of their footstep made Ansel frightened, a sharp tap of a high heel. He was still traumatic about that event. Took a deep breath, reset the mind, Ansel thought it was a different person. And it is.

The woman wore black latex long coat, her hair was golden white but covered by the coat. A pair of sunglass with golden frame adorned her oval face. Ansel shifted his position slowly, Brian noticed, they looked at the woman.

"Whoever wore a high heels boots on a train? I don't understand fashion." Brian raised his eyebrow.

Ansel focused on the feet, high heel boots, with dark purple rose as a decoration, so flashy. She could steal pickpocket attention.

"She might miss her plane and opt for the train? Maybe her relatives passed away so soon so she has to be like that?" Maven speculated.

"As expected from a writer," Brian added. "What do you think Ansel?"

Ansel awkwardly sat on his position, "uh what?"

"You ever saw her on your dream?" Maven asked.

Ansel sat beside Maven, leaned on her and whispered. "Yes, Chronos enemy."

You promised that I would never see her again, damn you Chronos.

Maven took a deep breath, "maybe your brain rigged up some childhood trauma."

How am I going to say that it was not childhood trauma? It will happen or would happen? I couldn't say it was my past, but it was.

"Psychology stuff," Ansel stared at empty space. "I can't remember the past vividly, so, yeah maybe."

Dammit, Chronos please help me. I don't know how people in another dimension pray for your help.

"Dear passenger, we're about to leave the station, please sit on your seat."

Should I leave the train? I don't want to be her slave.

Loud long whistle from train alarmed him. Meg and Lintang entered the cargo.

But what about my friends?

The train slightly moved.

How do I explain to them?

Ansel's heart beating fast, faster than the train itself. Cold sweat ran through his body. His vision blurred.

"You okay?" Maven touched Ansel's cheek.

White, Ansel stared at the lamp. He almost lost his consciousness. Blue speckles, then green, filled his eyes. His eyes stuffed up. Darkness.

..

"Are you okay?" it was a warm voice. A soft hand reached for him. "Tea, as you please."

Ansel opened his eyes, still white. He raised his upper body; slowly he could hear the hum of diesel. His sight gradually better, all of his friends, including the stewardess surrounded him.

"I—" Ansel took the tea from the stewardess, "thank you." He sipped the tea, and then put it on a small table beside.

"Road Sick, glad you got better."

Ansel slightly nodded. The stewardess left them. Maven patted Ansel's shoulder.

"You should've taken some fresh air with Lintang," she said.

"I don't have asthma. It's just strange."

"You haven't eaten from the morning? Here's food," Lintang gave him warm soup.

"Thanks…" Ansel opened the lid of the soup. Warm chicken soup with dumplings has woken Ansel's appetite.

"So, you fainted for no reason?" Maven asked.

"It's actually…" Ansel peeked; the woman was not there, not her luggage too. "Panic attack?"

"Panic attack?" Maven raised her eyebrows, "my parents are doctors, and mostly the fainted patients are the ones who have severe motion sickness, blood loss, and no oxygen went to their brain."

Ansel took a deep breath, "Can I have time, with you alone?"

"Sure."

Both of them went to restaurant cargo. It was spacious, the scent of warmed microwave food filled the air. Stewardess went back and forth from one cargo to another to bring the food. Ansel and Maven sat on a bench on the corner of cargo, looking side by side.

"You know that woman? Black coat?"

"She moved to another cargo, her seat was actually behind Mega. What's wrong with her?"

"I don't feel a good vibe. And I was scared. Do you know Chronos? The stuff that I told you? Everything was real."

"You came back from the future by his help so that you won't see the apocalypse bringer? And you were so frustrated that he won't help you?"

"Yes! She could probably start an apocalypse on this train!" Ansel leaned to Maven, he whispered with rage.

"Listen. She is a good person. You must have lost your mind."

"But you said you believe in me!"

Maven stared sharply at Ansel, "I know. I had that. I met both of them. It was real, but please, don't be afraid of it. We don't know exactly when apocalypse going to be. Chronos could be lying."

"You met him?"

"I had. The story that I made was real, I met them, both. That's why I kept talking to you, for reference and for therapy. It's hard when no one believed in you."

"So, the beginning of the story was actually real?"

"Yes. But after that, some parts are altered; I don't want him to hunt me down."

"Tell me what actually happened next."

'Re-establishing connection… … …'

'Connection successful!' Shin could feel Samantha return to his mind mid-conversation as Mark and Jason buttered him up.

'Immortals Online download is complete. Early access special [Expedition Key] awarded! Congrats Mr. S!' 

Bzzzt! Zzzt! Snap!

Lighting struck, sending Shin into another world of pain. He clenched his teeth reflexively nearly breaking his own jaw.

"What the hell is this Samantha?" Shin blinked. His view had changed, mid-sentence.

Suddenly, Shin was in a clearing. There was no Jason or Mark for that matter. 

The ground beneath him had little give to it, small blades nibbling at his trousers. His dress shoes weren't a fit for the moist black soil sticking to them, nor was anything else. Shin blinked, his eyes still adjusting to the dark swaying trees nearby. He could still see daylight, but the forest was shaded.

[Shady Forest]

Swiping away the notification, he stood tall, rubbing his arms for warmth. Taking in the crisp air, he adjusted his bearings and took in some clues.

First of all, Shin was told Immortals Online wouldn't be out for 3 days, yet here he was with an [Expedition Key] hanging from his neck. It was a half Yin-Yang medallion with a peculiar pattern. Any time Shin would focus his eyes, information would enter his vision. 

[Expedition Key]
Find what has been lost and return it at once!

The description left much to be desired. Shin hadn't the faintest idea of where to start.

'Samantha, where the hell am I?' Shin adapted to having his thoughts heard. Without question, he felt Samantha's presence. It was as tangible as his own two hands. She responded promptly.

'Let's see… you seem to be lost Mr. S.'

'…'

'I'm not a map, what did you expect?' She had a point. 

Shin relaxed.

'Samantha, can you see anything beyond me?'

'Well… That depends.'

'Depends on what?'

'If your definition of seeing is limited to sight.'

'Let's say it is.' 

'Then no, I cannot see beyond your eyes.'

'And if I do not limit it to sight?'

'Then yes, I can feel everything. If I concentrate on your smell, it's intense. I can even taste the air. Whatever you can do by concentrating, I can do at least %50 more efficiently, it's amazing Mr. S!'

Shin took it all in. Samantha wouldn't give him a game-breaking advantage, but she claimed to be able to make out %50 more detail from any of his senses that he could at his maximum effort. 

It was like turning him into a genius overnight, and that was more than enough for now.

'Perfect! Please use whatever data you can get from my senses to alert me if any clues are nearby.'

'Actually, let me know if there are any odd occurrences nearby as well.'

'Mr. S, someone's approaching you slowly.'

Shin quickly accessed his surroundings and came up with nothing. Within only several seconds he could see the bushes moving near a tree only several meters away. 

"Hey! Is there someone there?" A male voice called out.

Shin kept quiet, only watching. He didn't have any information about where he was or his situation. 

"I have this Expedition Key, but there aren't any clues." The boy stepped out. 

The boy walking toward him was about Shin's height, but age appropriate, unlike the 27-year-old. His skin was a dark olive, middle eastern looking and smooth. With ears that looked too large for his head and a chiseled jawline, Shin knew he was young. 

He was dressed in a gray jogger as if he were on a sports team. Above his head read [David]. He seemed harmless, so Shin spoke as he approached. 

"Hey man! I think we're in the same boat. I just arrived. No clue either."

"Shit, my mom is gonna kill me." The boy muttered to himself, kicking a rock as he joined Shin.

"You look Asian. What's your name?" The kid had no filter.

Imagine that! A kid these days with no filter. Kiss my ass political correctness!

"Fu Shin" Shin spoke formally, giving his family name first. 

"Ha, I knew it! I thought I was the only one who couldn't make a character. What's with the suit?"

"Nope, seems you aren't. It's from another game."

"You look like a pimp."

"That's because I am a pimp."

"Sure you are." The boy raised a brow.

"Pimpin ain't easy." Shin smiled as the boy burst into laughter. 

'Mr. S, there are 3 more figures approaching at a fast pace. I can even smell them! Yuck! 

They may be aggressive. Be on guard.'

"Hey David, did you bring friends?"

"No, I'm the only one of my friends with this key! Got selected just yesterday!" David smiled. He seemed to warm up to Shin, but there was no time.

"We have to go… Now!" Shin forced a whisper as he grabbed onto David's arm, running into the brush and out of sight. 

"Hey! What are yo-" Shin quickly covered David's mouth, pointing back to the clearing. 

Surely enough, out walked three figures. Two were plain kids with fair skin wearing tracksuits. The third was tall and built. He had red hair and dark eyes with a chiseled jaw. Not from age, but pure manliness. He looked like he chewed metal and spit bullets, ya know? 

Leading the other two into the clearing, he grabbed the nearest one's shirt.

"Where'd he go? Find him Joey!" He yanked joey to the ground prompting a flinch from the other kid.

"I don't know. I saw his trail end at this tree then stop. Let's just go back to the river, there's bound to be easier targets."

"Yea, let's go back." 

"I wasn't asking for your opinion, Doug. He had the final piece! I have seen it with my own two eyes." Pulling out his medallion, the large man rubbed its edges.

Shin squinted for information, but nothing came up. The medallion looked complete from the outside. Both Yin and Yang Present. Near to the middle, however, there was light shining through in a sunbeam pattern about half toward the center. He placed it back into his shirt as they walked off.

"David, your key, can I see it?" Shin whispered as he watched the three disappear.

"Sure, but only if I can see yours."

"Okay." As Shin reached for his medallion he noticed that David wasn't.

'Shin, there is an object heading straight for you.'

'Shin, David is attempting to stab you.'

Stab!!

By the time Shin had gotten the message, he had already been stabbed. He felt a sharp pain on his side as he stumbled back. A small blade poking from his rib. 

"Damn, not deep enough." David jumped back.

'Shin, there's a great chance that David wanted to kill you.'

'Do you need to point out the obvious?!' Shin scrambled. 

In the movies, it was always easy for the guy to pull the blade out, but this wasn't a movie. The moment Shin's hand touched the blade poking from his ribcage every single nerve from spine to scalp fired off, sending a world of pain with it. It was like pulling teeth.

"You're tougher than I thought old man. I knew you couldn't be trusted."

"What? I'm the one with a knife in my side!" 

"It was self-defense! Self-defense!" 

"Fuck you."

"…" 

Shin started to weigh his options, but there were none, the boy turned around and fled before he could retaliate. Only the sound of foliage crunching echoed as he disappeared. Shin was worse for wear.

'The blade in your chest was his only weapon. David is no longer a threat.'

It had been 10 minutes since he got here. It felt like hours as he laid against his rock, panting and trying to stand. 

Imagine having a tiny knife in your ribcage. Your lungs hurting the deeper you breathe, so you breath shallow. Breathing shallow causes you to get dizzier, along with the blood loss. Oh, and did I mention there is a knife in your ribs?! It sucks! 

Shin was finally getting used to his new knife appendage when a familiar voice called out.

"Hey! Is there someone there?" A male voice called out in a familiar voice.

It was David again.

Shin mentally prepared to flee, the boy could've found another weapon somewhere. That and Shin didn't have a gun. Nothing like a gun to give you an edge in hand to hand combat.

As he looked past the bush, he noticed a new figure standing where he had first spawned. 

It was a female. Her small frame was delicate like Shin with fairer skin. Her blond hair like a flowing stream flowing down to the mid-point of her back. When shin saw her face, he couldn't feel his pain anymore. Her blue eyes held the earth in its outer rim, while her high cheekbones looked as if they could hold galaxies. 

Oh, I misspelled glasses. Her cheekbones could hold glasses well.

The look in her face betrayed her however, she looked about as lost as Shin did mere minutes ago. Hence the glasses theory.

"I have this Expedition Key, but there aren't any clues." David stepped out. 

'Fuck, he's going to kill that idiot.' Shin enjoyed calling people as dumb as he was idiots. He watched the entire scene play out with glee. First, David would play some fragile kid, while the girl let her guard down. Maybe those other guys were helping him. 

'Shin, David is holding something new since you last saw him.'

'What? Where Samantha?'

'I'm not sure, but I can smell the metal on him. Slightly rusted and twice the size of the metal in your side.'

'Shit, what do I do?' Shin asked. He wasn't the best strategist or even a thinker. His best sense was his battle sense, but that was only in online games. Compared to his current situation, it was all just theory.

'You want my advice?'

'Run, run away Shin and never return.'

Squinting from the pain at his side, he had no time for Scar jokes. 

Shin grabbed hold of the small blade. It had a knuckle-like grip that fit snuggly in one's palm, the blade between the fingers. Taking a deep breath, he pulled.

"Mmmph... Ahh!" Shin struggled to keep his volume down, exhaling hard through his nose as blood trickled from his side. 

The blade must have been scratching a nerve. The moment he pulled it out; the pain began to numb quite a bit.

'Shin… be careful.' Samantha warned.

'We wouldn't be in this situation had you warned me sooner.' 

'I don't understand.'

'Never mind that, he's a spawn killer. Watch and learn.' Shin spoke with Samantha mentally regarding her settings and how best to warn him in the future. 

He positioned himself behind and waited. Shin felt that Patience was his greatest strength. Both Jason and Mark would have disagreed.

"I only just got here, but this is supposed to be some type of competition. Look, these footprints are erratic. The girl scanned her surroundings while she spoke with David. She seemed to be an expert, but she was still lost. 

"Footprints? Where?" 

David hopped up and skipped to her side, all the while pulling a large bowie knife from his pants. The moment it happened Shin broke loose from the shrubbery and sprinted. There was a great distance to traverse if he wanted to save the girl.

Imagine being Superman, you're in Clark form, standing in an alleyway 5 meters away, then see a guy suddenly pull a gun on someone. As he pulls the trigger you have a few issues. He is at point blank range, with barely any air resistance or space before impact. You sprint!

Now for any of you getting wild on the keyboard, typing out all of Superman's stats and feats in the comic book series, stop typing. This is only metaphorical. 

The metaphorical Clark Kent has to move far faster than the bullet if he wants to stop this crime, but he also has to change clothes, cover his face, etc.

Shin was in a suit with shoes that lacked anything that resembled friction at all. That, and he wasn't a hero. As the long rusted blade penetrated deep into the unsuspecting girl's milky white flesh, she let out a moan. Liquid oozing from her hole as she whimpered.

[Player Kylee has been eliminated, logging player out of the server in 60 seconds] 

A mechanical voice alerted the immediate area. 

As the light left Kylee's eyes, she faintly smiled reading a final message. It was her early access participation gift. 

[+1 Monster Shard Voucher] [Redeem from Humboldt The Wise in Gregoire]

This had all given Shin just the time he needed to get within a hair's reach from David. He stabbed out, right into the back of the boy's neck. 

Unlike professionals, however, Shin wasn't a killer and movies weren't great teaching material. 

The blade hit David's bony spine, only piercing an inch before getting lodged in. Shin followed up with a stomp to the back of his leg, grabbing onto the kid's arm. 

With widened eyes that said, "I thought you were dead," David was the one to fall onto his ass this time.

[Player David has been eliminated, logging player out of the server in 60 seconds] 

The poor girl had already lost the life in her eyes by now. Shin checked their clothes for anything of use. He found it, David's medallion. It was sun-shaped. 

Being extra careful to hide his boner, he ran his hand up the girl's legs. She was wearing Yoga pants. 

'Shin, your thoughts, they're disgusting.'

Shin looked around to be sure he was alone, his hand reaching just below her jaw inching toward her large breast. 

"Got it!"

He snatched the third piece, completing his [Expedition Key] in one fell swoop!

[Mission Complete!] [+1 Monster Bead Voucher] [Redeem from Humboldt The Wise in Gregoire]

[New Mission: Rebel Assassin, Cocky Eagle!]
This war has no end. Slay the leader of the rebels, the cultivator by the name of Randolph, in the mountains. Stop this meaningless bloodshed!

[R.A.C.E. War Begins!]

Squaaaa!! Squaa!!!

Just as Shin grabbed hold of the final medallion piece he needed, a giant eagle dived from afar!

'Shin, run!' Samantha was too late.

'The Bestiary' bar situated within the Gila Flat Test Base, inside, Ezekiel occupied a two-person table with a cup of coffee on his front as he observed the couple not far from where he sat. Though due to the lack of people and the quiet environment, both easily flirted with each other as they enjoyed their break meal together.
Shifting his gaze back to his Comic in his hands, Ezekiel read through the Golden Age of various heroes and villains as he slowly understood the surrounding of the world as it is. Unknown to all the organisms of this planet, today's day will go down and be known as the day 'God' shed his human body & descended upon Earth. Whilst reading, he did not forget to look at the watch he brought with himself as he wishes to know the moment the accident occurred.
Janey: "Jon? Did you fix my watch yet?" asked whilst her legs climbed on him, teasing and smiling at him seductively.
Jon looked and heard what she said, as he came to remember the watch, "as a matter of fact, I did! It's right…oh" searching through his pockets he exclaimed in an indistinct voice, as he remembered he placed the watch on top of the coat which he left behind in the Chamber.
Janey: "What's the matter?" she wondered, rubbing his foot.
Jon: "Nothing, I left it on my lab coat when we were resetting the Intrinsic Field Chamber this morning" he said pointing back towards the direction. Removing his girlfriend's leg entanglement he slowly got up, "just wait here, I will get it back" he said, before turning around and walking out of the door both came from.
Looking at his back, Janey took a second before she recovered her gaze and started to mix the sugar in her coffee.
Observing as the event started to take place, Ezekiel's right hand went inside his coat as he brought out a small and almost unnoticeable pill before getting up with the Comic in his left hand, leaving behind the untouched coffee on the table. Walking through the various tables, he took the path which passed through Janey's table as suddenly his left hand holding the Comic jolted up, causing it to fall below her feet.
Janey who was about to start drinking saw a shadow fall beside her, as she turned over and saw a Comic of a woman with a skirt floating up in the sky and the Comic's title 'Sensation Comics'. Looking ahead, she saw an extremely handsome man approach her as he bends down and picked up the Comic Magazine and heard him, "I didn't mean to startle you".
Janey: "No, no, it's okay" she smiled at him as she saw him leave by her side and focused once again down on her coffee.
Opening the door and leaving, Ezekiel put the Comic inside his coat as today's most important task was completed, throwing the pill within her coffee while she was distracted looking at him. Looking at the watch in his hand, he saw time ticking as with each second the accident became nearer, yet an uneasy feeling of something being wrong disturbed within his mind.
Following the same tracks where Jon walked through, he saw him outside the building with another man, who is also known as Wally Weaver, a co-worker and friend of his and the cause of Jon being together with Janey as he was the one who introduced both with each other. Waiting patiently, Ezekiel saw Jon's feet move as he too moved and walked towards the inside of the building as to not look as if someone is following him, though it is impossible to someone notices him whilst he is in camouflage.
Passing by Wally who had both his hands inside his coat as he observed the sky boringly, Ezekiel walked up the stairs and entered inside looking at Jon who was already inside the Intrinsic Field Chamber.
Jon: "Aha! Just where I left it" he said whilst picking both up. Outside the chamber, Ezekiel looked at the timer which was still left with [00:08] seconds before it automatically closed and waited for his doomsday.
Seconds left [00:06] and Jon walked out of the Chamber, proceeding to leave the building though not before turning around as if missing something and going downstairs to Wally. Ezekiel stood there with wide eyes, as after such a long time, a surprise which he hadn't felt for years took over him and he turned around looking at the Intrinsic Field Chamber closing itself and testing the chair.
Hurriedly moving to the door frame, he stopped as he listened to the conversation of Jon with Wally, looking to see if there is some sort of trick he cannot differentiate with reality or some sort of mistake which caused this reaction.
Wally: "Everything all right?" he asked while walking to him and taking his hands out.
Jon: "Fine. Found the coat just where I left it. Now I can give Janey back her watch instead of a handful of molecules" he said jokingly as he took the watch to his hands, "that's strange" he exclaimed as he saw the watch.
Wally: "What?" asked, approaching him more.
Jon: "I fixed it this morning, but now it's not working again. The second hand isn't moving" he described to Wally who listened, "it's frozen at 'one-fifteen'".
Wally: "Maybe you didn't fix it as good as you thought, Doc" he said, looking at the watch carefully.
Jon: "No, you don't understand. When I fix a watch, it stays fi-" suddenly he shut up, as he something different, "see, I told you I fixed it. Might have happened something, good Janey will like this" he said while showing it to Wally.
Wally: "Well, I guess there is a first time for everything" as he patted Jon's shoulder and both walked away slowly, both to their own destination.
Standing alone in the door, Ezekiel took out his watch as he saw his 'Time' too has changed from the perspective of his calculations. As if 'Time' had stopped literally for minutes. 
For the first time, Ezekiel felt an excitement building within him as a different & newer challenge was placed on his hands. Turning his body around, he saw the Intrinsic Field Chamber evaporate the chair placed inside as all the natural forces joining its atoms and molecules separated.
Although 'God' ceased to exist in this world's 'Fate' trajectory, Ezekiel is sure to go back in 'Time' once he explores the consequences of such being not coming to exist and the world continuing in its track as it is.

As the soldier sacrificed his last second, he gained another life where his new journey to the Multiverse just began.

"What's wrong with it? There're true feelings and love everywhere in this world. It's fine as long as you love each other," Xiao Xiao turned the pages of the comic book with gleaming eyes and asked, "But the situation at the moment is that your dad doesn't like you. Don't you worry, you can't imagine how big the army behind you is."
"Army? What army?" Bai Wu asked puzzledly. 'Could it be that there are other followers of mine in this world?' He thought.
"Uhm… Forget about it. You just have to know that your master is amazing," Xiao Xiao waved her hand impatiently because Bai Wu was bombarding her with questions when she was at the climax of the comic.
"Hmm… What are you reading?" Bai Wu nodded his head after giving a thought. He was quite interested when he saw Xiao Xiao looking at colorful pictures.
"Oh, this? Comics. Do you want to see it? You can use it as a reference and put it to practice in the future," Xiao Xiao took one of the BL comic books[1] and passed it to Bai Wu.
Bai Wu immediately shut the book closed after turning to the first page. He glared Xiao Xiao with a flushed face and asked, "You… How can you look at these things?"
"What? You don't want it? Then return to me." Xiao Xiao did not anticipate Bai Wu's reaction and reached out to take it back.
Bai Wu hid the book behind his back with a reddened face and said softly with his head lowered, "I want!"
"If you have any queries, just search it online. They have very detailed explanations."
"Uhm," Bai Wu answered softly, where his ears were so red that as if it was gonna bleed.
"He he! Don't need to be so shy okay? If you're this shy, how will you make me feel, as a girl? Don't you think I need face too?" Xiao Xiao reacted as if she was going to snatch the comic book away. Bai Wu quickly protected it by hugging it between his arms.
"You said that it's for me!" Bai Wu said loudly with a reddened face.
"I can give you this, but you'll need to send a photo of you two after you succeed, deal?" Xiao Xiao used this opportunity to get welfare for the fellow comrades who contributed the ideas and suggestions.
"What photo?" Bai Wu asked.
"How about something like the one you saw on the first page just now?"
"No!" Bai Wu rejected sternly!
"Such a scrooge. What about just a photo of you guys holding hands, surely this can be done?" Xiao Xiao curled her lips and said miserably.
"What are you guys doing!" Xu Lan stood at the door and stared at both of them with a blackened face. He was standing there since Xiao Xiao reached out to snatch the thing behind Bai Wu's back. Bai Wu did not notice him even after such a long time!
Xu Lan was suppressing his anger, but he did not even know why he was angry.
"Papa!" Bai Wu tossed the comic book to Xiao Xiao as if it was a hot potato and ran towards Xu Lan's arms joyously, "Papa, you're back."
Xu Lan looked at Bai Wu coldly while he hugged him coquettishly. He remained silent with a long face, as he recalled that Bai Wu threw something towards Xiao Xiao just now.
"My father will be back at night, you don't have to cook dinner for me, Bai Wu," Xiao Xiao pretended to say pitifully, ignoring Xu Lan's surprised expression.
"Okay. Papa, let's go home. I cooked mung bean porridge today, cause Xiao Xiao mentioned that Papa's quite heaty, this can cool you down," Bai Wu said pamperingly while he reached out to hold Xu Lan's hand.
"Walk by yourself! You're a grown person!" Who knew that Xu Lan immediately flung his hand away and strutted his way upstairs.
"Why don't you go to the cafe anymore? You were hanging out with Xiao Xiao from downstairs throughout the day?" Xu Lan could not suppress his anger. He deliberately inquired about him from the surrounding neighbors that were managing the place when he came home.
[1] BL - "Boys love", also termed as yaoi, involving manga or anime that contains gay relationships.

The question is, will Xu Lan ever reciprocate? With deranged serial killers, parallel dimensions, time warps, dragons, and a bit of ancient black magic, Bai Wu and Xu Lan are caught in a series of crazy adventures while discovering what they truly mean to each other. This is a story of lust and madness!
