This is it. 

This is the day that both excites me and makes me nervous. 

Weeks ago, my manager told me that there's an offer for me, it's an "experimental" show pa daw, according to him. My agency has been talking about it to the show producers pa noong pinaalam yon sakin ng manager ko. 

After a week, they came to an agreement, they only needed my approval to do it. Not like I can do anything about it, though. When my agency says I should do it, I need to do it, unless I can come up with an acceptable reason within the next 24 hours, pero I can't see any reason why not naman.

On the contract signing, I realized how complicated this show is. I'm even kinda worried for the backlash that the idols will have to put through, but the producer assured us that we will be protected while the show is on-going, So I push through it.

The show has a 'flow chart' that we need to do before meeting each other. First would be the texting, exchange of infos, and the such which will help to make us know each other better without really knowing who we are. This was supposed to go on for a week.

Day 1

A new voice message has arrived!

Boy3:

Hello there

Hmmm, this guy sounds a bit serious, I feel like he'll be older?

Girl3:

Hello there toooo

I really feel awkward, I'm not used to texting someone who I don't know, let alone voice messages like this. I hope this doesn't turn him off.

Boy3:

Don't be shy hehe

Boy3:

Who are youuu?

"He sounds young." Minji eonni, who's been sitting beside me the whole time voiced out her opinion. "The same age as you, if not older."

"What should i reply to him?" I asked my members, slowly gathering around the table Minji and I are sharing because they're slowly getting interested in this.

"Maybe give him a hint. He knows you aren't allowed to reveal yourself beforehand, right?" Said Jia. We're basically the same age, she's just a few months older than I am.

"Like what?"

"Maybe try sending a picture with your assigned color, it isn't that unique so he wouldn't know that it is you right away." Ara said, our ever intellectual member.

What Ara eonni meant by that is our assigned official color. In AURORA, each member has their own assigned colors since debut. Minji, who's the oldest, is color Green. Rachel chose pink for her color. Ara chose lilac, and Jia chose lime green. Meanwhile, I chose Navy blue as my color. 

I got up and followed Ara's orders. As we were sitting in the kitchen, the only blue thing that I found is the baking spatula I use. 

When my unnies saw what I picked up, they all laughed. I am really passionate about baking though, I always bake and whenever I have a free time. It's one of the things I enjoy the most.

"Why that? You'll look old."

"Just try a pepsi."

"You have so many other blue things."

"Even the sky is blue, why did you even get up?"

Their words we're just a background noise in my ears for me. I picked up my phone and took a picture of the spatula.

Girl 3:

How about you?

Girl 3 was my default name in the app provided by the show's producers. I waited for his reply while I sat down at the table again. With my phone in the middle, we all waited for his reply.

IN the middle of our chat, my phone screen lit up. We all gathered around to see the photo.

It's a spatula.

I dont know if he sent that to counter my baking spatula or if like me, he's into cooking, but one thing's for sure. I feel like we can get along.

As I was about to type, a message flashed on my screen.

The alloted time to chat for Day 1 is already up. Please wait for further announcements on when Day 2 chat time will start.

After that message, I wasn't able to reply to him anymore. But this is good, I feel like he's a fun one. I'm hoping to meet him soon.

 And seems like the members like him too, since he pretty much became our topic for a good hour before we decided to really prepare for dinner.

[DIRECTOR'S CUT

Eugene sat in a chair in front of the camera, this is the director's cut, a part of the show where the idols will explain what happened or what they were thinking on a certain moment.

"I don't know, I just felt like we will get along with each other" She started.

"I was pretty worried when my members commented when I chose the spatula. It didn't occur to me at first that I may be viewed as someone older or is boring in life." she explained.

"I can find cooler stuff but to be honest, but aside from me being lazy to get up, I can say it also gives something about me." Eugene said while laughing at her own reasons.

"But when I saw what he sent, I felt like I already like his personality. I really like guys with a great sense of humor so I like his personality already just because of that baking pan." Eugene said while still chuckling.

The cameraman turns the camera off and thanked Eugene for a great, authentic shot.]

Day 2

COMPATIBILITY TEST. Click Start to begin answering the questions. The results of the test would be sent to you, as well as the answers of your partner in each test.

My phone lit up as the message appeared on the screen. I clicked the start button and started answering the questions on my own.

You will be given a series of this or that questions, just click the ones you prefer to proceed to the next question.

The quiz was something basic, puro choices lang on what do you prefer, this or that type of questions. I finished answering and decided to rest for a while. I was having a dreamless sleep due to my exhaustion when my phone vibrated and a notification popped up.

RESULTS ARE IN.

I clicked on the notification and was pretty impressed by the results.

You are 80% compatible with your partner. Chances are, you'll get along pretty well, or might even fall in love in the future!

<click here to see the answers>

I clicked the button to review his answers and the results were right. The compatibility is pretty high, not that I am trusting that this quiz is accurate, but 80% means most of our answers matched, only two were different. 

The only different answer we had was the preferred drinks and whether or not we like spontaneity. 

Given that he's a guy, who's around the same age as me, I can understand why he chose wine. People our age usually like drinking alcohol and it's the peak time where we're supposed to like bars and booze.  

I just really liked coffee more because it makes me function better, especially if we will have a busy, tiring day. 

Spontaneity, however, is one of my fears that I want to overcome. 

I wasn't given a chance to enjoy my teenage and early adulthood properly since I devoted my time to being an idol. It used to require my full time and attention especially back in my trainee days. So whenever I get free days, I make sure to make the most out of them by planning everything beforehand.



Day 3

Personality this or that. The same as yesterday's activity, this one would also be a quiz type. But the questions would be made to know each other's personality better.

Answering the questions is easy. What's hard is the realizations that came after. Only one thing came to my mind after submitting the quiz: I AM BORING.

Grabe, by the answers that I gave, you might think I'm someone pushing my 30's na. 

For a 21 year old girl, I really do sound boring. I'm still in my early 20s pero pakiramdam ko sobrang seryoso na ng mga plano ko sa buhay ko. Even Rachel unnie, who's sitting beside me sa van thinks so.

"I already told you to enjoy your life, diba? You sound like an old maid." She blurted out her thoughts since she's been watching me answer the quiz from the start.

"Unnie, you know that I prefer spending my free time at home. Mas nakakapagrelax ako and may peace of mind pa 'ko," I answered. Rachel is 4 years older than I am. But she sounds so youthful compared to me. "And besides, bihira nalang naman free time natin these days. We're so busy kaya."

"Whatever. I'll take you on my next night out whether you like it or not. Enjoy your youth, Yooj." She said. 'Di nalang ako umangal. I know she's only looking out for me rin naman. And besides, that next night out would be weeks, or even months away. We're currently busy with our upcoming comeback kaya our schedules are kinda tight these days.

 Even if Rachel unnie loves to party, She always prioritizes our work naman. During the preparation time and comeback promotions, di sya naglalagi sa bar, either sa dorm lang namin or sa bahay ng friends nya.

After a while his answes came in. And kung gaano kacompatible yung answers namin sa quiz yesterday, ganon naman kabaliktad ngayon. Our personalities seem to be opposite, yet somehow still similar in some ways. I can't wait to meet him.



Day 4

This would be the last day of the series of texting and quizzes na nangyari for the past days. If I'm not mistaken, we will plan our first meeting today, and magkikita kami sa makalawa. 

I waited for his text. I'm hoping na sana mamaya pa sya magtext while we're on break or mamayang gabi after our practice.

 We're currently in the dance studio inside the company. This has been our routine for the past few days, pero Ilang araw na lang mag start naman kami sa vocal studio. The weeks after that would be the most hectic, dance practice while singing, with stage outfits on, and filming for the MV which can take up to a week to get all the necessary shots.

Boy3: Hi, are you busy?

He texted while we're in the middle of practice. I replied almost 10 minutes late.

Girl3: We're just practicing. Do you want to start planning now?

As soon as I sent that message, our instructor entered the room again and told us to have a water break for 5 minutes before starting again.

 I saw my members doing their individual stuff. Jia and Rachel laid down on the floor, Minji went to her belongings and drink, while Ara faced the AC to dry her sweat off.

Boy3: You seem busy, eh. Is it your break?

Girl3: Water break right now :) We can start now, though.

Boy3: Later na, focus on practicing and take a rest first. Just message me if you're already done.

I smiled at my screen when I read his message. I immediately replied my thanks and took a rest, as he said. He seems like a nice guy.

After several hours of practicing, we called it a day and decided to go home. Our old dorm used to be near the building only, but we recently moved to a bigger dorm that's why we need to travel by car to get home. 

The ride was 15-30 long, depending on the traffic. And the traffic was heavy today. It would take 30 minutes or longer before we arrive home, based on the GPS inside the van. To kill time, I decided to message my partner.

Girl3: Hey.

Girl3: Are you free now?

Boy3: Yesss

Girl3: So when and where would you like to meet? Kkk

Boy3: According to the results, you're the planner. Do you have any idea?

G3: Somewhere laid back would be nice.

B3: Yeah, so where? A cafe or park comes to mind.

G3: Cafe sounds nice. What time, though?

B3: Cafe are usually filled during lunch time and afternoon snacks. So I'm guessing between 1:30 to 3 PM? So we can have a little bit of privacy.

G3: I like it! Do you have any cafe in mind?

B3: I dont know lots. I only have 2 go-to cafes near our dorm.

B3: But you may not be comfortable here, so please choose where. I don't care as long as they serve boba.

G3: I know a place! Around Myeongdong, it's like a vintage cafe and they serve the best boba, coffee and breads there.

B3: Okay! Just message me the place and I'll go there.

B3: See you soon, partner-ssi.

B3: I need to go now, we haven't eaten yet.

B3: Annyeong!

G3: Bye! Eat well~ 

That ended our discussion. I sent him the link on the exact address of the cafe I'm talking about then turned my phone off.

Eugene thought a simple TV reality show wouldn't change her life.

She can always fake her reactions, she said.

But little did she know that her co-star would be a ghost from her past.

Can she survive living with him in their own little Dollhouse?

As Erick opened the link in his phone, rows of questions with multiple choice answers appeared on his screen. Reading them one by one before attempting to answer them had gotten him feel more confused. What the heck is this quiz? Some kind of personality tests? And there were a lot of them too. 

He scratched the back of his head as he scrolled down. 

He had read the answers that were given and had laughed at some of them. Especially the one where it asked which supernatural beings would you like to study the most. He scoffed and thought, 'Of course I would like to read more about the werewolves.'

As he was attempting to answer the questions, his mother had knocked on his door. Without waiting for Erick's permission, she had already peeked in and reminded him, "Don't forget to throw the trash out."

Erick rolled his eyes. "Mom, it's nearly midnight."

"Well, it's not as if you can't see in the dark. Bring Luka along with you. He has been feeling bored staying indoors lately."

Erick flopped down on his bed, with his arms wide open, dropping his phone beside him. "But I'm tired," he whined, feeling too lazy to go out.

"Go now before it gets too dark," his mother said, ignoring his complaint.

Erick sat up straight on his bed and exclaimed, "How could you be so heartless to send your only child outside in the dark??"

"That's why I'm telling you to go now," his mother said. She then pointed at the wall clock in front of him and continued, "It's not yet midnight so you should get going now."

"Do I have to do it now?" Erick asked in disbelief. Seriously, why does he have to throw the trash so late in the night?

"Yes, the trashcan is full. I don't like it when it messes up my kitchen. And there might be some worms crawling all over," Luella explained patiently, visibly cringing at the thought of worms all over her kitchen.

"But still--"

His mother finally lost her patience and shouted, "Erick Louis Kendall! You listened to me right now! I have enough of your needless questions and complaints! Just do as your mother tells you to do or I will tell your father about this!"

Erick's eyes widened. He knew that he had gone too far when his mother called him with his full name. And like, seriously. You're bringing Dad into the conversation? Not cool at all. 

He sighed and grudgingly stood up from his bed. 

Luka, who was lying down on its bed, a few meters away from Erick's, raised its head when it noticed Erick standing. It immediately jumped from its bed and yelped around Erick's legs. 

It seems to know that Erick was going to bring him for a walk.

While he grabbed his light jacket since it's going to be a chilly night outside, his mother had gone downstairs, getting ready to pass him the trash bags.

Erick crouched down in front of Luka and patted it on its head. "Sorry for not spending too much time with you. Even though Melody did offer to let you stay in the pack house with the other animals, I guess I'm still too selfish to let you go.

I'll try to spend more time with you. I'll probably introduce Amber to you. If she's not terrified of wolves, that is," he continued.

'Don't just introduce it to her. Bite her! Mark her!' growled Dane in his mind.

Erick rolled his eyes. 'Cool it, old pup. I'm just waiting for the time when I could tell her about us,' he replied back. By 'us', he was referring to being a werewolf. Erick was just worried that she might not accept him as a werewolf. Who knows that she was probably one of those who anti werewolves. He wouldn't be surprised if she was, though. Since he knew that there were probably many untruth stories about werewolves that were being spread to the human world. Especially when werewolves were being portrayed in bad light.

'When? And who did you just call 'pup'??' Dane growled.

Erick ignored Dane and went out of his room, with Luka happily following him from behind.

Downstairs, his mother had placed two large trash bags on the porch of the front door. Grabbing them, each bag in one hand, Erick led the way to the dumpster.

The dumpster was a few yards away, far from the residential area. They shared the dumpster together with the humans in town. Although Erick could have used his car to drive over to the dumpster, he knew that Luka had been wanting to get out and wanted to walk around.

Besides, it wasn't that far at all, since it probably took them less than thirty minutes to arrive at the dumpster. 

Wincing at the smell in the dumpster, Erick tried his best to calm down and tolerate the smell. He quickly threw the trash bags and ran further away from the dumpster.

With Luka running along beside him, they reached the training field where he first shifted and where he did his training too.

Taking a deep breath, he felt the smell of the woods was comfortable and relaxing. He really loved the smell of the woods. It calmed him and made him feel at peace.

It was then he thought of an idea. He began to stretch his body and arms. He looked down at Luka, who was sitting down on its hind legs.

"Up for a little run, Luka?" Erick asked, with a grin.

Luka barked, as if to say yes.

Erick chuckled. "Great. I, too, think that Dane is up for a run. Let's go, shall we?"

After saying that and making sure that no one was around, he immediately stripped down. He placed his clothes near one of the trees for safekeeping.

He then closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Just then, sounds of bones cracking can be heard. His nails became longer as his body stretched to its height. Slick black fur began to cover his whole body, leaving a straight patch of white fur from its thick mane to the back. His eyes glinted in the dark night, from black to amber. His teeth grew into sharp fangs. 

He then growled up to the sky, making his appearance known. He laid his paw against his neck and cricked it, rubbing away the sore muscles.

His amber eyes blinked as it adjusted itself to the surroundings, familiarising the area. He sniffed around and felt the area was quite nice. 

He looked down at the now whimpering Luka, who was inching backwards, away from the shifter in front of it.

It got confused. What happened to its master? How come his master's scent has faded? It could still smell the scent of its master but it got overwhelmed by this shifter's smell.

As it watched the shifter getting closer to it, it nearly fainted out of fear and shock. It could sense and smell the strength and the power from this shifter. It was really strong. Most importantly, Luka can smell the aura of an Alpha from him. Not just any Alpha, but a much stronger one. Stronger than the man who lived in the same house as its master.

Bending down, the shifter quickly grabbed the white wolf by the scruff of its neck and stared at its eyes. 

Luka whimpered as it held eyes with the scary shifter.

The two were quiet, studying each other.

"Well, well. So, we've finally met each other in person, little Luka," the shifter said raspily, as if it had been a long time since it last talked. 

"Now, shall we go for a run?" Dane grinned.

Erick Kendall, the strongest Alpha in his generation but also a player, who loved to date any female.

Amber, a typical girl who loves to eat and dreams of a normal life. Oblivious to the history of Burkendall town, she did not know that shifters exist in this world.

These two unlikely people were mates to each other but before they can have a happily ever after, unforeseen circumstances have torn the two mates apart.

Will these two mates ever be happy and lived happily ever after?

=======

Watching her eyebrows furrowed in concentration as she tried to solve a problem, Erick brushed a strand of her hair and tucked them behind her ears.

Amber jumped, startled by the sudden touch. She whirled around and glared at him. “What the heck are you doing?” 

“Nothing,” he said. He really liked her scent. It smells of fresh flowers and the woods in the summer. Refreshing and wholesome. His wolf, Dane, always felt at ease whenever they were close to her.

Ignoring his strange behavior, Amber continued to work on her homework. “What about this one? How do you get this number?” she asked, pointing at a question in her notebook.

Erick leaned closer to her and at the same time, sniffed her scent.

Amber jumped back, her eyes widened at Erick. “Did you just sniff me?!?”

Erick pretend to look confused and frowned at her. “Did I? Are you sure you were not imagining it? You must be hearing things. I suggest you go and clean your ears next time.”

Amber flushed red in embarrassment, or was it in anger. If it weren’t for the fact that she needed his help with her studies, she would not be here. Instead, she could have been at home, eating ice-cream while binge-watching Harry Potter. She just sighed in frustration and continued to ignore him. 

This was not the first time he had been acting strange. Earlier today, a guy was about to sit next to her but had moved away when Erick growled deep at him, like a dog… or a wolf.

It was May 20th on Wednesday in the fourth week of the semester.
The atmosphere was a little tense this morning. When Teacher Pan walked into the classroom on time as usual, she was holding a stack of papers in her hand, and the students in class despaired a little. It was very obvious that the time for the morning self-study session as well as the first and second lessons would be given over to a quiz.
The pop quiz had been part of Teacher Pan's teaching for many years. And the most painful thing was that she would never tell them about it beforehand! This was completely a test of the students' current abilities!
For students of the elite class in No. 60 High School, if it was just an ordinary quiz, it wasn't worth cheating on at all. Teacher Pan's quiz, however, was very unusual; only twenty percent of the paper was comprised of basic course content. The remaining eighty percent was split fairly evenly into four parts: extra strength questions, expansion questions, competition questions and questions not covered in the syllabus…
And so, it was under these circumstances that the battle of wits and courage began.
For students of Grade One, Class Three, this was already no longer just a quiz, but a "war" that tested their team spirit!
But Teacher Pan was ultimately Teacher Pan, one of the handful of teaching pioneers at the frontline of teachers in No. 60 High School; as soon as she entered the classroom, she immediately summoned a number of ghosts to disperse themselves to each corner of the classroom to help her invigilate.
Teacher Pan had carefully calculated the positions of all these ghosts so that their lines of sight would cover every inch of the classroom.
"I'm going to a morning meeting now, and I'll collect the test papers in an hour and a half." Teacher Pan smiled faintly. "You don't have to worry, everyone. I trained these ghosts myself; as soon as they discover someone cheating, they'll burn the test paper with ghost fire. Everyone only has one test paper each. If it gets burnt, you'll get a zero. I hope all of you will be honest in taking this test!"
After telling them the rules for taking the test, Teacher Pan turned away to close the door and leave for the meeting.
As Little Peanut gave out the test papers, some people in class immediately started to complain. "These questions are too difficult! A test on the synthesis formula for the 'Angry Buddha Fire Lotus' and reactions in a flame color experiment! Isn't this only taught next semester?!"
There was a lot of discussion around Wang Ling; the questions weren't too difficult for him, but when the test paper was in his hands, he still felt like dying…
If it had just been an ordinary test, it would've been fine, but this test paper which Teacher Pan had written made it utterly impossible for Wang Ling to predict what the average score in class would be!
In this situation, what Wang Ling had to do was wait until Lotus Sun, Little Peanut and Feather Lin were almost done with their answers, then estimate the scores of these three top students before writing down his answers based on the papers of the whole class in general.
What he had to do now was just hold his pen and wait patiently.
It had been ten minutes since the test papers had been given out, and there was complete silence in Grade One, Class Three.
But very quickly, Wang Ling quietly discovered an undercurrent to the superficial calmness in the class.
Teacher Pan gave her quizzes out at random times, but it was very clear that many people had made their own plans beforehand for such an emergency. It was always good to have a cheat sheet prepared in advance no matter the situation…
Super Chen had hidden his cheat sheet in his sock. This guy wanted to pretend to pick at his foot, then take out the cheat sheet. But just as his hand touched his ankle, a ghost floated over with two ghost flames… 
He's done for!
Seeing this scene out of the corner of their eyes, a number of people couldn't help sighing in their hearts.
Given Teacher Pan's personality, she would definitely call his parents if he was caught cheating! And she would definitely castigate him at the parent-teacher conference next Monday!
But to everyone's surprise, the tragedy of a test paper burned by ghost flame didn't happen…
Super Chen calmly drew the cheat sheet out of his sock and palmed it…
At this moment, Wang Ling clearly smelled an evil odor seeping out of Super Chen's palm… then, the ghost pinched its nose and left, just like that.
Everyone: "…" F**k! This ghost left because of the stench! 
How smelly was this piece of paper?!
Smelly FeetExorcism?!
Wang Ling was a little stunned at this scene.
However, this still wasn't the most terrifying…
Because from the beginning, he had noticed some fatty who had been scratching his buzz cut the whole time, causing dandruff to fall and cover his desk.
But instead of being snow-white, this dandruff was black in color…
Wang Ling took a closer look using his Heavenly Eye and then was frozen completely solid!
Because Dopey Guo… had actually printed his cheat sheet onto his dandruff!
F**k!!! There was even this way?!
Looking at Master of Dopey as he began to put the dandruff together one by one, the shock in Wang Ling's heart had already reached its limit.
...
The afternoon was turning into the captivating, red glow of dusk when a man appeared close to the rural Wang family villa, looking completely out of place in his surroundings. He was very tall and cut a perfect figure; the breeze brushed over his white clothes, molding it over his pectorals…
White clothes, a long sword, beautiful hair… this was Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal, a man with the surname Lei.
Father and Mother Wang were already aware that Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal would be coming. After all, he was one of the few friends that Wang Ling had in the cultivation world. Plus, given his mistaken impression of the Wang family, Father and Mother Wang had always thought that he was a very interesting person.
The last time he had come to the Wang family home was a few years ago. Yesterday, Wang Ling had suddenly said that Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal would be calling on them today, so Mother Wang had hurried off to the wet market to buy a lot of food.
When she returned riding the freight tricycle that had been blessed by Wang Ling, Mother Wang saw a man in white standing at the entrance to the villa and carrying several bags, large and small. She was startled at first, then she let her eyes wander up and down the man's body for quite a while. "Little Lei, is that you?"
It had been a fairly long time since he had last visited the Wang family home, so when Mother Wang suddenly called his name, the man was a little flustered and stuttered a little. "Se… senior, hello!"
Mother Wang stared blankly and wondered why this child was stammering, even if he hadn't come for so long.
However, this greeting of "senior" confirmed for her this visitor's identity.
Although Mother Wang wasn't accustomed to being addressed as such, when she recalled this person's identity in the field of cultivation, she assumed it was an act of courtesy in the cultivation world. Because of Wang Ling, Father and Mother Wang had had the opportunity to encounter some big names in the cultivation world, but ultimately there were still very few like Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal, who repeatedly addressed them as seniors.
Nowadays, it wasn't easy to find someone who was both powerful and courteous in the field of cultivation.
This was also one of the biggest reasons why Father and Mother Wang had acknowledged him.
The man lifted the bags in his hands. "This junior hasn't visited the two seniors in a very long time. I brought several bottles of fairy wine, I hope the two seniors will like them."
Mother Wang took the bags, the blush on her face completely lost in the red glow of the setting sun. "Since you were coming, just come; you didn't have to bring anything, this is really inconveniencing you."
The man rubbed his head and smiled shyly. "Senior, this is nothing, this is a necessary courtesy."
"You don't have to be so polite next time. I bought a lot of food today, we were just waiting for you to eat. Your Uncle Wang and Grandfather Wang are inside, today the three of you can have a good chat," said Mother Wang.
When she said this, the man was stunned…
Oh my god!
Grandfather Wang is also here? Brother Ling's grandfather… am I going to meet the BOSS today?!
Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal was thoroughly alarmed.


As a cultivation genius who has achieved a new realm every two years since he was a year old, Wang Ling is a near-invincible existence with prowess far beyond his control. But now that he’s sixteen, he faces his greatest battle yet - Senior High School. With one challenge after another popping up, his plans for a low-key high school life seem further and further away...
Wang Ling: I just want to eat my crispy noodle snacks in peace...
Father Wang: If you're careless enough to destroy the country, it’s coming out of your pocket money. 
Wang Ling: It’s not my fault that the backlash from punching me kills you.

Sitting on the corner table while holding a menu in front of her face, Park Danbi was dressed in an oversized plain black t-shirt and faded jeans. Her long dark hair was tied into a bun under a black beret cap. 

"Miss, are you ready to order?" The waiter asked her with a polite voice.

"Bubble Tea," She replied quietly, lowering her head as she peeked at the three girls sitting on the next table next to the window. After the waiter was gone, she leaned forward on the table as she observed the girls. Among the three girls, only the one sitting in the middle mattered to her. 
Beom Chi-U was wearing the same parka that she wore the other day. Her mid-length hair was tied in two short pigtails. As usual, she wasn't wearing any makeup. 

"Chi-U, did you check out this quiz?" Kim Eun-Jung asked her, turning her phone's screen toward Beom Chi-U. "This quiz tells how much your boyfriend loves you. You should take it."

"I took that one last night." Beom Chi-U's cheeks reddened. "I got eighty-two percent."

Only eighty-two percent? Park Danbi sneered. If it was her, she would not have rested until she got a hundred percent on the quiz. She ignored the waiter when he placed the bubble tea in front of her.

"Daebak!" Lee Areum, Beom Chi-U's other friend, blinked her eyes. "He really loves you."

"If he didn't love her, would he break up with his ex-girlfriend?" Kim Eun-Jung chimed in. "One of his classmates is my friend. She told me that they were going out for nearly three years. That girl is labelled as a sociopath."

"Sociopath?" Beom Chi-U frowned. 

"His ex-girlfriend is" -- Kim Eun-Jung grabbed Beom Chi-U's hand --  "horrible. I heard that she tried to kill a girl who was making a pass at Gu Yi Won once."

It was only a threat. Park Danbi slurped the Bubble Tea. Why would she risk going to prison when there were plenty of ways to teach a lesson to a girl who didn't know her place?

"That girl is so scary." Lee Areum pressed her palms together and squeezed her eyes shut. 
"What if she tries to kill our Chi-U?"

Park Danbi squinted her eyes on Beom Chi-U who didn't seem afraid. 

"I am sure that she hates you," Kim Eun Jung said to her. "Did Gu Yi Won say something about her?"

"He told me that he wanted to break up with her long ago." Beom Chi-U narrowed her eyes slightly. "She always made him feel worthless whilst she expected him to follow her around without any expectation. He was simply tired of her heartless attitude."

"She's not human," Lee Areum commented. "How could she treat Gu Yi Won like that?"

"I am not surprised." Kim Eun-Jung wrinkled her nose. "A woman should know how to act in front of her man. From what I heard about her, she sounded like a person who would do anything to get the top position in school."

"My brother always says that we shouldn't hesitate when it comes to something we want from the bottom of our heart." Beom Chi-U grinned at her friends. "I am not afraid. Gu Yi Won chose to be with me. I can't be happier right now."

"He's so sweet to you." Lee Areum sighed. "I wish my boyfriend was like him."

"With his looks, I am sure that he can become an idol." Kim Eun-Jung knitted her brows. "Do you know anything about his family?"

"If he can afford to go to our prep school and Y High School, he can't be from an average family," Lee Areum pondered. "Our Chi-U is so lucky."

Beom Chi-U took a sip of her drink. Mostly students from the elite families went to Y High School, the top school of South Korea. Her elder brother wanted her to go there, but she couldn't get the scholarship. "We will be late for prep school if we don't leave now."

"I am tired of studying." Kim Eun-Jung let out an exasperated sigh as she got up. "My mother told me that she would disown me if I don't get into K University."

"My elder brother told me that it's fine if I didn't make it this year." Beom Chi-U chuckled. "He said that I must retake the exams until I make it there."

"You are so lucky," Lee Areum told her as they walked out of the restaurant. "A handsome boyfriend and a doting brother… Did you save the country in your past life?"

Beom Chi-U winked at her. "I might have." 

Park Danbi followed the girls to the prep school. She put her hands inside her pockets and took a deep breath.

After following Beom Chi-U for the past week, she had some idea about the girl. 

Beom Chi-U was eighteen-year-old. Her parents passed away in an accident around five years ago. She was living with her aunt and uncle. That Parka coat must have been given by someone special. Either that person was Beom Chi-U's dead parents or her elder brother whom Park Danbi hadn't seen yet.

How was she going to seduce Beom Chi-U?

She had thought about it a lot. From what she observed, Beom Chi-U's personality wasn't simple. There was a certain naivety in that girl that lingered closer to an unyielding attitude. Besides, things might become harder for Park Danbi if she tried to threaten a girl from another school.

By hook or crook, she was going to get Gu Yi Won. However, she wouldn't go to war without preparations.

Park Danbi had done her homework for sure. She watched a lot of romantic drama and followed the popular young male-celebrities to study their styles. 

She got into the cab and told the address to the cab driver. The things that she needed couldn't be bought from the usual stores. 

The cab stopped near a train station. She made her way toward the special market on foot. After an hour-long walk, she reached the location. 

The special market wasn't a market perse. It was a small building in a dark alleyway that was usually a hangout area for people with scars and a devil-may-care attitude. Actually, she stumbled upon this place when she was looking for a part-time job. 

As she approached the men smoking outside the back entrance of the building, a man leaned closer to his leader and whispered something to their leader while keeping his eyes fixed on her.
 
Clad in an indigo suit with a V-necked t-shirt that exposed his collarbone, the leader was around 178 cm tall with a square face with beady eyes and muscular built. His obsidian black oiled hair is combed back; a faint S-shaped black tattoo started from the left side of his hairline and ended on his left. 

He raised his brow at her. "Kiddo, you are back again." 

"Sunbae, is Madame Cha inside?" Park Danbi asked him with a solemn look in her eyes. 

The leader scrutinized her face. "That depends on why you are back here."

"Business." She exhaled when the leader scowled at her. "You can search my body if you want."
Having heard that, another man walked toward her. The leader raised his hand toward the boy and gnarled at him, "Do only what you are told."

The man must be a new addition. He mumbled an apology timidly and went back to his companions who were watching Park Danbi like hawks. 

"You better not be playing any trick." The leader opened the door for her. "Else, you wouldn't be able to leave this place."

She shrugged, resisting the urge to roll her eyes as she entered the building. As if these people could keep her here.

How far a person can go in the name of love?

"If that girl is gone, will you come back to me?"

The meaning of her name was sweet rain. However, she couldn't recall a rainy day with a sweet memory.

Determined to get back the boy she loved more than her life, Park Danbi dressed up as a boy and seduced her ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend. 

When she thought that he would return to her, she lost everything.

That wasn't enough to stop her.

"Gu Yi Won, I will reach your side someday."

However, why does this chef sniffs her whenever he gets a chance?

Author's Note:

Who hasn't been a fool in love? 

A lot of people would come to me and say that they were wise in love or they have never been in love.

Others will look at the people and criticize the ones who have made countless mistakes when they were in love. 

This story is not a story about someone got over her first love or how they are happy in love.

This story is not a story about someone who was perfect and got everything in her life in the first try. 

This story is dedicated to...

Those who have been a fool in love. 

Those who still want to believe in love even after getting brutally hurt.

Those who were obsessed after someone who was always out of reach. 

Those who were heartbroken and lonely. 

It's a tale of a girl who continuously made mistakes and how love became her main flaw. 

It's a tale of a girl who wanted to build an empire to ruin the man she loved.

It's a tale of a girl who would stop at nothing to reach his side again. 

Let me ask you again. 

How far will you go in the name of love? 

Park Danbi will tell you.

The Villainous Emperor is My Pet?

"Foolish humans." Said Hades as he watched their surprised faces. 

This morning, Hades went to school with the human, Ling'er. What was school? Apparently it was somewhere human children go to learn things they never use, so he read. 

He had spent much of the night learning to read. But it was simple for him, one couldn't become a peak Abyssal without some modicum of intelligence, and it took more than strength alone to manipulate the wind like he did back then; it took knowledge of wind patterns and aerodynamics, a new word he learned. 

He read many of the books lying around Chen Yan's room, who was a college student student, according to the material he found. He read about human education and cultivation mostly, as that consisted of most of the knowledge in the books, the compilation of thin tablets, as well as geography, to learn the lay of the land, economics, to learn how human society worked, and human anatomy, to learn to kill them better, just in case. A lot of it was rather difficult though. 

Though he read material on cultivation, he was unable to comprehend it. He figured it had something to do with the level of it as well as his species being incompatible. 

He thus decided to follow Ling'er to school, he knew it was fine because he read the rule book lying around.

His first challenge was the fiery ball of eye murder in the sky. The human, Chen Yan, called it the sun. It was very reminiscent of the ball of light that vaporized his homeland. 

Luckily, it was limited to his eyes, it seemed he had somewhat adapted to the 'sunlight' during his dormancy. The problem was solved with something called sunglasses, a dark, solid object, yet transparent like water, something else that was new to him. On the other hand, artificial light was not as harmful. 

He wanted to go to sleep, but listened to the lesson instead. Using his limited knowledge of the human language, he learned of the 9 realms of cultivation, and that the first realm, refining body, consisted of allowing something called 'worldly essence' to circulate in your body until it was suitable for cultivation, this was the same for all species. For other subjects that he hadn't read about, he had no idea what she were saying. 

While listening, he felt something tap the back of his head, he ignored it at first but soon got annoyed, he knew that it was Ling'er getting hit, since she made no action, he intercepted it on his own and scolded her. 

The culprits were 3 female human children of the same age as Ling'er. From them and Ling'er, he learned that humans have built a hierarchy based on material wealth, rather than ability. Apparently, 'money' was something these humans would do anything for, and was used to exchange for food and luxuries. They do not hunt at all, but let others hunt for them, then exchange the prey with their money they earned by doing labor for other humans. He found it quite complex. 

From Ling'er he learned that humans formed packs within their own communities to increase their status amongst other humans, because they don't tend to like other humans. They hate other humans that were better than them, no matter what it was, and loathed those worse than them, only enjoying forming packs with those that were of equal ability. He found their ways similar to the Abyss he was familiar with. He was glad that hadn't changed. 

Then they came out to make trouble. Usually he would simply kill them, or chop off a limb to assert his position, but he was not allowed to hurt humans, but there were ways other than killing to assert oneself. 

He learned that humans were cowards in the stories he read in Ling'er's room. Many times, they flee at the slightest show of strength, whether witch, wolf, or random people they don't know, and don't even attempt to resist at times. 

He pricked his own tail to make red eyes, to vaguely resemble a serpent, a classic object of fear to humans, along with spiders and cockroaches. 

They made pleasant screams, but he did not wish to reveal his hand to these humans, so he used the first trick of survival, deception.

He learned that humans become defenseless when confronted with creatures classified as Cute, Moe, or Kawaii. Though he thinks they all mean the same thing. These animals tend to look impossibly harmless and defenseless, with the intention of invoking instincts to protect the creature. 

"Nyaaa~!"(foolish humans, kneel before my facade!)

It was child's play. He successfully fooled them and they were practically his servants. Though he couldn't understand many of their words, only capable of reading as of now, he could feel their foolish affection. 

A single word was all it took for suspicion to vanish like smoke, and reverence to appear in their place. 

"Nya nya nya~!"(Grovel before me humans, and offer tribute!) he said, gesturing to his mouth grandly. 

They easily understood his gesture, and snacks piled before him, without even needing to leave the bag. What inane creatures, to offer their food so easily to one they just met, he believed they would kill each other for the sake of one touch of his paw. These humans, their loyalties were everywhere, and could turn on each other in the drop of a hat, how interesting. 

He watched Ling'er take her quiz. He attempted to quiz himself, but it was hard for him as he was now. He instead focused On finding this Worldly Essence. It was amazingly successful and he easily found traces of intangible energies in the air, and drew it in with his soul. As he did this, Ling'er spoke to him. 

"Xiaohei, we're going on a field trip to the Divine Hall tomorrow! We are going to look at, and maybe pick out, a cultivation method!" She looked excited. He was too, as he was very interested in the mystical abilities of the cultivator. 

Perhaps fate might find him something, a destiny that will lead him to the dominion of this world.

A tyrant from the deepest depths of the abyss, whose whole life was wrought with blood and ruin, who made a throne upon the skulls of his prey, challenges the monarch of the land he wished to rule for supremacy of the Abyss. 

The result hardly mattered, as their whole world was overturned with the appearance of a ball of fire that vaporized the entirety of the abyss, bathing the land of darkness with the grace of light. 

The tyrant was the only survivor of the abyss. He alone carries the legacy from an age long passed. 

Unfortunately his power had fallen. He will now challenge the future built by the denizens of light, and retake the land once his. 

As the pet cat of a little girl.

"Theo! Come down stairs!" my mother called. I rolled out of bed and hurried down stairs, my long red hair in my face. Only to see her and father sitting there all dressed up and on there way to work. "Come on now little one get dressed" father said as he tightened his tie. I hugged my father and went back up stairs to get my clothes ready, but I already knew what I wanted to wear. 

A red and black flannel, dark jeans and black boats, my usual choice. I pull my hair back into a messy pony-tail and pick up my aqua green school bag. Before I headed back down stars to eat breakfast thinking that today was going to be just a normal day. I stood staring at the mirror with a blank stare. I was 16 going on 17 and I only had one real friend.

Looking at my figure head to toe, thinking how ugly I was until I heard the phone rang. My mom picked up the phone to a woman. The woman spoke so softly but harsh at the same time,                                                                                                "At the end of the day be ready for pick up." said the woman.                                                                                                   "Who is this?" mother asked her voice shaking. Then the woman hung up and the phone went quite, I finished walking down the steps wondering who that was.

Mother turned towards me and smiled her blue dress twirling behind her, "I am going to drop you off today." mother smiled and picked up her car keys. I followed her out the door and into the car, noticing that she was scared by the call. 

Once I got into the school I found some friends and sat with them to past the time. Like always they were paying the personality quiz to see if they were good friends. I sat down with a book pretending to read so they wouldn't put me in the game. Dylan noticed me and turned towards Hayden, "Hayden your favorite color is, pink right?" he said staring at me. He knew that I couldn't help but to correct him, it was his way of putting me into the game. "No, it's purple." I said out loud. Hayden looked at Dylan trying to smile, she has the biggest crush on him. But of course he was as blind as a dog to it.         "Correct like always Theopok." she snickered. She knows that I don't like to be called Theopok. 

"Please Hayden if you are going to use a long version then use the whole thing please." I smiled back, as Dylan snickered. No one can say my name, it's to hard for people, I was waiting for a response when the loudspeaker came on and I was called to the office.

Theo was just a normal adopted girl until her birth parents came into the picture.

"Look, here he comes." 

A voice suddenly spoke out. 

Immediately, everybody stopped talking and kept their gazes on the gate of the family garden. Even the family Elders and the family head looked forward to the choice of the top witches of the family.

The choices depict the character of the witch. If you take the strongest Familiar without any thought of the future path and development, then this means that you aren't worth cultivating. After all, sabotaging such a good chance for a short-term benefit shows the narrow mindedness of the witch.

If someone chose the familiar with the most potential, these people are worth paying attention to.

But still, there is a variable of future growth. Nobody knows the future and the developmental path taken by the young witches. This is also the reason, the top five Witches get all the support from the Family, allowing them to open their chakra point.

Of course, anomalies like Ricardo still exist. To be able to ascend to the chakra level without any prior foundation stunned the whole family. Even the branch of the Carefree Alliance and other Witch families have been paying attention to Ricardo.

As Sigil slowly stepped out, the attention of the whole group fell on the small Silver-Furred Chimp walking behind Sigil while its active eyes scanned the surroundings.

"Hmm? This fluctuation.... Soul Familiar?" Garthe looked and frowned. His voice wasn't loud, but his words were heard by almost every Elder and their expressions couldn't help but change. 

Only John had a calm expression on his face.

On the other hand, the reaction of the younger generation was even more exaggerated. They started to back away from Sigil and created a distance of five metres. Looking at this situation, Sigil couldn't help but shale his head. Only Martha and Alicia decided to join Sigil, but he could feel that these two girls also had some awkwardness in their hearts.

Nodding at the two beauties, Sigil made his way towards John and bowed slightly before speaking.

"I express my gratitude to the Family Elder for giving me a chance to select a suitable Familiar. I will not disappoint the family's trust in me."

Hearing his words, Garthe's expression changed slightly and John couldn't help but smile internally. Meanwhile, Ricardo's and some of the Elder's expression also turned strange. 

Even though the younger generation couldn't understand Sigil's intent, the mature Elders did. They have years of political experience and they have already formed an instinct towards the methods of handling social situations.

Through his words, Sigil conveyed two things, first, he announced his intention to cultivate in soul path. After all, he did say that he selected a 'suitable Familiar'. Secondly, he also attached the future cultivation of the family on himself.

Soul path is frowned upon in the Witch's World and even if he exhibited unnatural talent in soul path, he will face many hurdles in the family. By saying that he wouldn't disappoint the family's expectation, Sigil made clear that the family will have to cultivate him properly to realise the said 'expectation'.

Of course, all of this is just a show of political eloquence. But this aspect also gained the attention of most of the Family Elders.

Even though the individual power is the most impressive methods to handle the situations of life, sometimes, a person's creative mind and flexible eloquence can achieve more benefits than simply using your power to bulldoze the hurdle.

"Sigil... is he really the Sigil of my previous world?" Ricardo couldn't help but fall into deep thoughts.

"Good." John only said one word and Sigil went back. 

"Wait.... look at the Ghost Chimp. He already looks tamed!" An Elder couldn't help but speak as he noticed the strange situation. 

According to common sense, taming is one of the harder aspects of cultivation. Every living being has its own thinking and personality.

This is true even for plant lifeforms.

But this personality does not refer to the personality of a human being like a stubborn or gentle personality.

It is the personality of the soul of the living being.

Some Familiars have stubborn quality in their souls, some are instilled with gentleness or craftiness. These personalities may appear from the time of birth or these may be gained through the experience of life.

Till now, the world of witches could only speculate about such vague concepts.

After all, external personality is already intangible, then the measures of personalities of the soul can already be a pipe dream.

But now, in front of everybody, Sigil has shown yet another quality of himself. He has actually tamed a Familiar in such a short time!

As the Elder's voice fell, everybody's expression changed sharply.

Before the chatter about such a talent could begin, John coughed and started sending other witches to take their pick from the Elite Garden.
***

"Alright, the four juniors have already selected their Familiars. Only one elite Familiar is left in the family garden. Other juniors and Elders will be given a chance to observe the Familiar and make the decision."

Without wasting, John waved his hand and a small red light erupted from the gates and shot towards John's palm.

When the figure of a red wolf cub became clear, John spoke lightly.

"This is the blood path, Blood Fur Wolf." 

Seeing the figure of the wolf, the excitement of the family dissipated and all of them looked disappointed.

Even though the Blood Path is related to body strengthening, its methods are heavily criticised and also discriminated against. Furthermore, this wolf itself does not have any outstanding quality and looks weak compared to the other four Familiars.

Seeing such a reaction, John nodded internally. Even he did not know the reason behind the Silver Fang Wolf selecting this Familiar.

"Maybe, they are both wolf type, is that why?" John spoke internally. He even tried asking the wolf, but the wolf itself gave a vague reply and said that it did not know the true potential behind the red wolf.

"Well, even if it has a godly potential, what is the use if it cannot be identified?" John thought and waited for some time.

"I would like to tame this wolf." A faint voice attracted everybody's attention.

It was Ricardo!

Even Sigil's eyes shone like a bulb and looked at Ricardo's movements. 

Every single step taken by Ricardo is in consideration with the benefits retrieved in the future. After all, Sigil knew that he was a person who is reincarnated from the future.

"This wolf has a special significance." Sigil immediately connected the dots. 

First, the blood path is heavily discriminated and no person will choose the Familiars of this path easily. Especially, in front of a crowd.

Second, this wold doesn't show any outstanding talent, but is still favoured by Ricardo. 

This aspect itself shows that this Familiar's potential is recognised and understood by Ricardo.

"Now, should I stop him from gaining an undue advantage because of his rebirth? Or should I simply ignore him and retreat from his path." 

"No, since he understands the potential of the Familiar and is even willing to take up this path in front of a crowd, this means that the benefit provided by this Familiar will easily cover the loss of his recently gained reputation."

After making his mind Sigil's eyes looked at Ricardo.

Till now, their relationship has always remained subtle. 

Sigil used to bully him and then he took the initiative to apologise. Then, they also took a mission together. Till now, their relationship is mostly based on their previous lifestyle, the life before they both took over again.

One transmigrated and turned over a new leaf, other reincarnated and started taking benefits of his knowledge about future events.

"But still, I can only cultivate one path. Even if I am talented enough to gain Two Sky Chakra Points, do I need to change my future path to Blood and Soul path because of one single advantage?"

Sigil suddenly hesitated.

He was still new to this world and both the laths are frowned upon. 

He wasn't like Ricardo that could easily change the situation because of his knowledge about future events.

Meanwhile, Ricardo was still anxious.

"Alright, the first step is taken and still need to wait for the Silver Fang Wolf to make an appearance."

Ricardo thought for a bit and spoke once again.

"Family head, I am willing to abandon my chance to explore the family garden to tame this Blood Fur Familiar."

Ricardo's words made many Elders speculate about the path taken by Ricardo. After all, he still hadn't disclosed his chakra path. 

Now, actively asking for blood Familiar made most of the Elders come to the conclusion that Ricardo had taken up the Blood Path.

Speechless!

First, Sigil decided to take up the Soul path, and now, Ricardo took up the Blood Path.

Before John could say anything, his body flashed silver and a small silver coloured wolf shot out of his body and picked up the red fur wolf from his palm.

The situation changed too quickly.

Aoooo

The Ancestral Wolf of the Family walked towards Sigil elegantly and placed the Blood Fur Wolf in its mouth on the ground, as if presenting it to Sigil.

'Can you be anymore high profile?' His mouth kept on twitching as the gazes of everybody present concentrated on Sigil.

He looked towards John, his eyes begging for an animal translator.

John looked around and he felt even more bitter. Why beg me? I am as shocked as you are!

He slowly walked towards the Ancestor Wolf and picked it up.

"Sigh, Silver Fang Wolf wants you to take the Blood Fur Wolf." 

John's voice made everyone frown.

According to the set regulations, this is not possible. After all, Sigil has already chosen a Familiar.

If John actually allowed such a thing to happen, his influence among the family Elders will surely diminish, tarnishing his magnificent reputation.

Even Sigil understood this point. But still, he looked at the Blood Fur Wolf intently.

As if sensing the burning gaze, the wolf cub looked up and their eyes matched for the first time.

Shiver!

Previously, the wolf was sealed in an ice cube, so he couldn't make out its gaze. But now, meeting the wolf cub's gaze, Sigil felt a shiver run down his spine as the dormant wolf constellation suddenly let out a soundless roar, as if wanting to emerge from his body.

Sigil gulped and looked around. Now, he was certain that this wolf is extremely special. After all, his wolf constellation has evolved twice and he still doesn't know much about the situation. But this wolf could actually evoke a strong reaction in his constellation formed by his own energy gates!

"I don't think this is very appropriate. After all, the rules set by the family shouldn't be changed easily." 

The family had dozens of family elders while tens of guest Elders. The one who spoke was one of the family Elders.

"I think we should discuss such a situation before we decide anything." Another one spoke out.

Slowly, many of the Elders started to present their opinions while some chose to remain silent. It was to be noted that the young and old family Elders chose to remain silent, while the Elders that grouped along with the Supreme Elder Garthe spoke their opinions with great gusto.

"This decision should be based on the family Head and the Ancestor Familiar of the family. We have no right to present our opinions on this matter." 

This statement caused everyone to look at the speaker in shock. Even John's face changed slightly. 

These words really put him in a difficult spot. Even though the statement sounded respectful, in reality, the statement implied that if the Family Head wants to break the rule, who can stop him. Even if these kinds of situation occur in the future, the Elders won't have any right to intervene.

John looked towards the speaker deeply. Surprisingly, these words weren't spoken by the Supreme Elder Garthe, but the most recent Elder, Ricardo.

Right now, his expression was serene and he looked extremely respectful towards John.

Even Sigil was stunned by his words. But he wasn't surprised because of the implied meaning. He was stunned due to the fact that Ricardo was willing to offend the Family head and risk his placement in the family for a weak Familiar. 

This changed the situation entirely.

Previously Sigil thought that Ricardo wouldn't mind giving up his reputation for the familiar. In reality, the cost of the reputation is almost nil and the profit he would gain in future may be great.

But now, he was willing to offend the family head. This meant that his cultivation resources could be limited by John if he wanted to.

This meant that the benefit gained by this wolf is definitely greater than the benefit provided to Chakra Points Practitioner for their Cultivation.

This left only one answer.

Grimoire Master!

This wolf cub is the key to a treasure trove that can probably give out a Grimoire Master's heritage. Just like the Inverse Witch's Inheritance.

“Have you ever felt completely bored out of your life?”


“Have you ever doubted the reason for your existence? Your purpose?”


“Is there a tiny spark of curiosity inside that boredom? Wanting to explore? Wanting to know more?”


“That's me? Just a fun loving guy bored to death in the most literal manner. I lived an uneventful life as an orphan. Studied hard, got a job but never married. I guess sudden heart attack leaves you no chance to think about the future. One of the things you should know about me though, I am a very humble person.”


“If you compare me to the regular tramsmigrators of the legends then you might be mistaken. After all, what abilities does a salesman could offer in a world filled with magic, right?”


“You have been warned. If you still want to read, follow my adventure where I embrace the romantic adventures of every fantasising males and females. The adventure of a Hunter.”

Xia Yu made a wish to eat until he vomited. And this particular wish brought him to a completely strange spirit world which was full of cuisines.
What, Chef God System?
"You need to not only satisfy normal people's appetite but also all kinds of devils and ghosts. Use your food to move them!" the old man said to him coolly.
So, Xia Yu would never stop running on the road of becoming a Chef God.
 

Monday

 The weekend passes quickly and quietly. Takeshi and Eclipse walk through the school halls on their way to lunch as Maiman trails behind them in her wolf form.
 "Hey! Guys! How was your weekend?" Nathan walks over to them as they stand in the lunch line to get their food.
 "Oh it was good. Takeshi and I went and saw a movie," Eclipse looks over at him with a smile.
 "That's good. What movie did you see?" He smiles back.
 "It's a new movie called "The Night Long". It was really pretty interesting," Eclipse speaks as they walk over to a table in the lunchroom courtyard and sit down.
 "Lucky! I really want to see it. It looks really good," Nathan laughs.
 "We should've invited you then," Eclipse jokes as Takeshi looks around them.
 "Is it ok if Ren comes and sits with us too? Seeing as I'm already sitting with you guys," Nathan glances at his phone.
 "Yeah, sure," Eclipse nods before beginning to eat.
 "Ok cool. She'll be here in a few, she had to talk to someone apparently," Nathan smiles before he begins to eat as well. After a few minutes pass, Ren walks into the courtyard and walks over to them. She sits next to Nathan quietly as she glances at Takeshi who sat across from her at the table, reading a book.

 "Since when did you start reading books at lunch?" Eclipse looks over at him with confusion.
 "Hm? Oh. It's a new, updated zoology book," Takeshi looks up at Eclipse before looking back at the book.
 "Ok and…?" She studies him.
 "I'm reading it," Takeshi laughs before leaning over and kissing Eclipse on the cheek.
 "Dork," she rolls her eyes as she starts to blush. Ren looks at Eclipse and Takeshi quietly before continuing to eat her own lunch.
 "So, what're your plans for tonight?" Nathan looks at Eclipse.
 "I'm not really completely sure to be honest," she shrugs in response.
 "Well maybe we could all meet up for a small study session seeing as we have a quiz on Wednesday," Nathan smiles.
 "Sure! I don't see why not," Eclipse smiles back before looking at Takeshi. "Want to do that babe?"
 "Do what?" Takeshi lifts his head from out of the book and looks at her a bit confused.
 "Have a study group night thing tonight," Eclipse laughs.
 "Sure," Takeshi says before burying his face back in the book.
 "How about you Ren?" She looks at Ren who's just staring at her own plate.
 "Hm? Oh um, sure," Ren slightly nods, glancing at Takeshi.
 "Cool! So after school we'll meet at the library?" Nathan asks.
 "Sounds great," Eclipse nods. Takeshi's phone suddenly starts ringing, forcing him to close the book and put it on the table. He pulls his phone out of his pocket and answers it.
 
 "Hello?... oh… yes… ok… now?... got it… and, oh, ok… yes ma'am… ok…" He hangs up and starts to stand up as he puts his things back in his bag.
 "Eclipse, I have to go," he looks at her.
 "Wh…" she starts but stops when she feels her phone buzz in her own pocket.
 "Ok, see you soon," she stands up and kisses his cheek before he and Maiman leave the table and start out of the courtyard.
 
 "What was that about?" Nathan looks at Eclipse with a confused expression as she sits back down.
 "His mom called. He forgot something at home and so she brought it here for him," she smiles in response as she pulls out her phone and reads a text she got from her mom, Ember.
 "Oh, ok. I hope he comes later to the session," Nathan glances at the empty seat.
 "I'm sure he will," Eclipse nods before realizing that Ren is staring at her. She turns to look back at Ren but Ren quickly looks away.

A young boy named Takeshi has to deal with his past, his identity, and his two new challenges, high school and a girl named Ren.
