wasn't satisfied with this, re writing the whole series but will keep the original as an outline

Author: 314 (Yang Chen)
 
After you confirm what genre and topic you wish to write about, it's now time for you as an author to design your settings and write the overall planned outline for your plot. As for why I'm putting these two elements together, that's because these two elements are deeply interconnected and inseparable.
 
When you're writing the overall outline, this is basically coming up with the story's plot. As you write the outline, what you're actually doing is fleshing out the details for your setting.
 
When you're writing a story, of course, you need to first consider where your story will happen, when it happens, who it happens to, and what type of person it happens to. As the story progresses, you also need to consider who the main character will meet in the story, what time and place he or she meets them at, along with who's stronger and who's weaker than the main character…
 
This is why by the time that you're finished with your overall outline, the world's background, various factions, levels, special abilities, treasures, all the important characters… and such settings will be naturally completed during the course of outlining.
 
The reverse is true as well. If you first work on designing the detailed settings instead, then you'll basically end up with an outline for the story's plot and how the main character grows over the story as well.
 
Of course, there's still some differences depending on which angle you start from. However, newcomer authors like you don't need to worry about this. You can simply create based on your personality and whatever you prefer. It doesn't matter whether you start from the settings or the outline. You can even do both at the same time.
 
For newcomer authors like you, there's only five points that are critically important for you to understand.
 
1.      Having an overall outline isn't absolutely necessary, but having one is always better than not having one
 
Theoretically speaking, even if you didn't prepare an overall outline, it might not affect the progress of you writing your novel at all. There are some authors out there that simply write whatever comes into their mind and go with the flow.
 
Of course, this is all just a best-case scenario in theory. For the great majority of authors out there, once your story's plot exceeds your planned outline... 

Your outline will help your story stay on track in the early stages, but once you reach the mid and late stages, all sorts of problems often appear, such as too many plotlines all at once, self-contradictory plotlines, or writer's block…
 
At such a time, authors will typically regret not creating a more detailed outline, but it's already too late now. Actually, overall outlines have more uses than you think.
 
Since webnovels are typically longer than normal novels, they take much longer to write as well. Typically, it takes an average author several months or even longer to finish writing everything in their overall outline. By the time that they're finish writing everything in their overall outline, most authors will have new ideas and insights into what they want to write. Once they combine their new ideas with their original outline, in a way, this gives them two sources of inspiration. It's basically the equivalent of two people working together, and on top of that, these two people know exactly what each other are thinking.
 
It's easy to see how this can be helpful in improving the quality of your novel.
 
Apart from this, while creating an overall outline, the author can also discover many topics or problems with the settings and correct them in time.
 
To give an extreme example, if you're having a great difficulty with writing your overall outline and don't know what to do with your own plot, this proves that there's a large problem with your plot. You should either make major changes, or delete this part of your plot entirely.
 
So, newcomer authors definitely shouldn't overlook the uses of having an overall outline. No matter if you have a good or bad outline, a simple or a detailed one, as long as you have one, that's good.
 
What needs to be noted is that only outlines that have been written out truly count as outlines.
 
Even if you as an author have a very detailed outline, and even if you've solidly memorized every single plot point in your outline, any outline that hasn't been written into your novel doesn't count as a true outline. That's because when you actually start writing, you'll discover that what you finally end up writing will always have differences from what you envisioned.
 
2.      You need to finish your outline, but it doesn't need to be complete
 
Thinking about your outline is equivalent to thinking about your novel's plot. You need to consider both the beginning and the end. You also need to think about everything that the main character experiences from the beginning to the end of the story.
 
If your outline isn't finished, but only half-finished, you won't even be able to predict the storylines that come later, which will cause you to have difficulties writing your plot once you finish the beginning stages. This is basically the same as not having an outline at all.
 
Still, there's no need for us to make the outline as detailed as possible from the very beginning, with so many specific scenarios for all your plots. The reason for this is quite simple—none of us know just how long our novels will turn out to be in the end.
 
A story that's written with the intent of becoming a commercial product needs to be sufficiently long enough right from the planning stage. The longer your potential story, the better. But actually, how many words it finally ends up with depends on how well your story performs.
 
If your story is incredibly popular and performs well in the market, then we can consider writing it for as long as possible. However, if your story obviously isn't popular with readers, then you can consider ending your story in a timely fashion at an appropriate point in the plot so that you can think of a new story instead. That would be a wiser decision if you wish to become a professional author.
 
Of course, when you're only in the outlining stage, it's impossible for you as a newcomer author to know how readers will react to your novel. Precisely because of this, you need to have a flexible writing plan. What this means is that you should have an outline that's detailed in the beginning and general near the end. For the beginning of your story, you should have as detailed an outline as possible, while for the middle and especially the later parts of your story, you only need some general ideas. All you need is to consider the overall development of the plot so that you know what direction to take your storyline in.
 
For example, maybe you planned that the beginning of your novel will be approximately 80,000 words, and you've prepared a 4,000-word outline for just the beginning. In that case, your outline for the next 80,000 words, the middle of your story, might only need 3000 words, and the meat of your story, another 240,000 words, might have an outline that's less than 1000 words.
 
Of course, as you continue writing your story, you should constantly update your outline as well. You should complete your outline for the next 80,000 words before you finish writing the first 80,000 words.
 
3.      Your settings need to be constantly updated

Just like writing an outline, you should first come up with the basic settings before you even begin writing, which includes your world background, main character's personality, power levels, and so on.
 
More specific settings, such as a powerful artifact that appears in the story, can be added as you write your story.
 
Unlike an outline, you don't need to fully plan out all of your settings at the very beginning. It's perfectly acceptable to think of new settings while you're writing.
 
However, newcomer authors need to note that while it's okay to come up with new settings as you write, you should write these settings down and add them to your outline or settings document as you write.
 
This is to help yourself check your own settings later in the future. Otherwise, a novel that reached over one million words and has lasted for one year or longer might cause you as an author to completely forget about something you wrote before in the past. It's even quite common to make a mistake when writing about the items that the main character possesses. Yet, there will always be a sharp-eyed reader or two that catches the author out in a misstep.
 
If you have a very detailed document on your settings, not only will you be able to greatly reduce your own plot continuity errors, you'll also be able to look through your settings whenever you have writer's block and find some inspiration in a side character that you have already forgotten about or some item that was mentioned before but never used again.
 
4.      It's better for your settings to be cliché
 
Here, this means the systems and names that you use for your settings. For example, the names and levels you use for a martial arts society.
 
Many newcomer authors will mistakenly think that using already existing well-known settings will make their novel seem too cliché, causing them to want to be as "unique" as possible. These authors will use their imaginations to come up with all sorts of fictional vocabulary words, which in their minds will make their novels "stand out." These newcomer authors don't realize that this is the worst possible way to write a novel. In the great majority of situations, this will have the opposite effect from intended.
 
A new original novel that you write should be a new interpretation or story about some specific genre or story type. How to make your novel stand out depends on the conflicts you create in your story and how the main character resolves them. As for coming up with new vocabulary words and names for your novel, even if you make them sound really cool, or make some modified slang words, it's almost never a good thing for you.
 
The reason for this can also be understood in my article about how to write the beginning of your story. By doing so, the author is placing more burden upon the readers to understand a larger amount of information.
 
There will always be other already existing words that you could have used, which are easily understood by all your readers. Instead, your readers now need to spend their time and effort on reading your explanations. Obviously, readers aren't here to read your technical manuals or info dumps. The more explanations that you have in your novel, the lower your novel's appeal and flow will become. But, if you don't add any explanations for your self-created words at all, the readers won't even understand what's going on.
 
This is why newcomer authors should avoid this useless type of "creativity" as much as possible. You should simply rely on settings that all readers are familiar with instead.
 
5.      The storyline should be pushed forward by using conflicts
 
Many newcomer authors will often develop writer's block when planning their outline or working on their novel.
 
Sometimes, this is because the author has made their storyline too messy. But most of the time, it's because the author feels like there's nothing to write about, or doesn't know what they should make the main character do. The author has no idea how to continue their own story.
 
In order to deal with writer's block, or in other words, how to push your storyline alone, the answer is actually incredibly simple.
 
You can answer this question using only one word – Conflicts!
 
Actually, the critical element of all webnovels can be summed up into one word – conflicts. For example, leveling is the desire or need of the main character to become stronger, which is a conflict between the main character and his or her own current weakness.
 
And since there is a conflict, you must resolve the conflict. And so, your main character wants to cultivate to become stronger, which means he needs to travel around the world in order to find cultivation methods…
 
All sorts of conflicts will both push forward your storyline as well as create numerous climaxes for your readers. It can be said that how you design your conflicts is the very foundation of writing any novel, not just a webnovel.
 
As for a more detailed analysis on how to design your story's conflicts, please read my intermediate-level article on the topic. For newcomer authors like you, you simply need to understand this concept, and know that you should keep coming up with new conflicts whenever you're having trouble keeping up with your own storyline. Try finding potential conflicts from plots, characters, and items you've already used, or forcefully introduce a new element into your story that creates a new conflict.
 
This can be said to be one of the most basic techniques of planning your storyline.

Hello there  everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween holiday!
I haven't updated a chapter in months and I deeply apologize for that. I disappeared without notice. But here I am, back and alive, fully safe, in blood and flesh.
Now I am back, but I won't be updating chapters any soon. I have decided to stop writing this book as I reached Chapter 6 I think? Well, a chapter that isn't the middle of the book. I decided that the best would be for me to re-write 'Left Unspoken' and this time, with an outline.
Now please hear me out. Months ago when I was doing it, I was just going with the flow, with what came to find. My goal was word count and updating. Not the quality, I valued quantity more. And no outline was present anywhere. But it is time I switch over and act like I say. I always say 'quality should always come over quality' and I will do what I said.
I wrote a vague outline on what is going to happen. I did change some concepts and events, but you can still find many similarities in both stories (well when the second one exists). Now that I have my outline, I can finally start!
How long will this take me? Now writing a book takes most authors about six months to a year. That said, your timeline will depend on the length and genre of your book, as well as your day-to-day writing routine. The amount of research and outlining you do beforehand can also affect how long it takes for you to write a book. That means the book will take up to a year for me to write, maybe even more. It will be a novella, which is slightly shorter than a novel leading it to take me less time. 
Let's not forget, I have school and exams and all sorts of stuff that can take my mind off writing. I have chores, a family and a life as well. I'm even still self-improving at art which is the thing I enjoy most doing, other than writing. I'm also a person that gets distracted really  easily, and when I say really easily, I mean it. So, it is pretty clear that writing isn't the only thing I have on my table.
The process is not just writing words on a screen (or a paper if you may). First comes the outline, then the drafting, then the editing, the proofreading. And that only by myself. Then come all kinds of editing made by other people like developmental editing and copyediting. Aaaand, the COVER. In these case, do judge a book by its cover! There are other stuff you got to do to get it out and there. It is some handful.
Now, when I do eventually finish this big project, there's a huge probability I will publish it on amazon because why not? It's free and it shares by book world-wide! Anyways, I am really excited for this!!! 
Notice that this change of events has a huge advantage for me; that I get to write at my own pace without having to worry about people waiting for the next chapter. Of course, there are many other advantages, but that one really gives my heart a break.
I really hope this did not upset you in any way. I will make sure to remember to keep giving you updates, both through the process and when it's published. I hope y'all stay tuned and don't forget to always place quality over quantity.

Sorra's mom was the last person to call her by her true name. When Sorra was merely six years old, her mother abandoned her. She promised to come back but never did. Sorra couldn't help but feel betrayed. She certainly didn't want anything to do with a traitor, therefore she'd changed her name.

Sorra is currently seventeen, living with her best friend May. There are problems in school, or outside with people hence her hot temper, but nothing compares with what happens when she sees a familiar car in the school parking lot...

Will Sorra's mother care enough to come back to see her only daughter, or did she forget she had one, as Sorra had assumed? Maybe she's not her only daughter after all. Read on to find out what mysteries there are, that even Sorra herself does not know about.

First of all, I apologize, originally I said to arrange a harem, but I was really afraid of being spouted, let's make up for it yourself.
Then, I'll tell you about my two-month action.
I started with the intention of writing the extras until the end of April (without adding this wave of speed, it should be about the same) and then wait for May to finish the exam to open a new book.
However, I waited until mid-March to find a problem; a building and two building is not close in time. Still, in May and September (╯‵□′) ╯︵┴─┴, mainly I was qualified to take a building this year, I did not pay attention before, subconsciously thought that a building in the second building behind a few days.
The new book will be open for a long time; I'm afraid that the review time is not enough, wait until September after the examination and then open a new book; it is really from scratch.
So, I seriously thought for a while, the solution is - super complete outline plus the draft, so that twenty days before the exam at least can still seriously surprise one.
I will open the new book on May 5; 15 days to write the outline, 20 days to save the draft.
The new book will not be available until September, so I can already imagine what my next book will be like that.
The new book plan, probably Naruto is it ( Pirates, now in a big spurt of plot time, it is not good to open a new book ), in addition to the Pirates, in fact, I initially wanted to open a book of the heavens flow. Still, when writing this extra, I suddenly found that a Naruto version of Longinus seems to be very sensational ah ( the new book and the old book do not have any relationship, but the character will be more similar take this biased bright hero flow ).
The persona is almost like this, the plot, I will try to write some novelty, like my writing is not very good, but I think the plot of the brain is still there (at least the sea pirate book seems to be very few people can guess my ideas it)
It seems that there is nothing to say, then I wish all the book lovers good health, all the best, the year 2020 can not be the best when the time comes, students who are still studying can get into the school they want, friends who are still looking for work can find the right job, in short - everything you want!
(I slipped away to make up for the fan, Naruto finished a few years ago, and now the plot has long forgotten, fifteen nights, not to mention the outline, I feel that two times the speed to make up for the fan may not be able to finish ah! Alexander)

Original Title : 海贼之黑暗大将 (Navy's Dark Admiral)
Author : 高燒三十六度 (High Fever 36 Degrees)
He is the Admiral, praised by the world as the light that cuts through the darkness, the Holy Lance Longinus.
He is the Dark Lord, feared by the world as the darkness that ends the era, the Demon Sword Apophis.
He wandered in the light and darkness and wove the battle song of blood and fire.
When he looked back, he found that he had crushed the world beneath his feet.
PS1: This story did not feature any fruit or system, the title of the book has nothing to do with Yami Yami no Mi!
PS2: The timeline is quite long, starting when Roger began the great age of sea pirates!
PS3: Non-scrappy article, highly fantastic and biased slightly off, but the characters should be intellectually ruthless basically in the line!

This chapter isn't story related and only aims to give you some of my own thoughts on the novel so far. Feel free to skip this. Basically final notes for the end of the volume. Will probably do these at the end of every volume.
I do enjoy reading these in other, real light novels, showing a further plan or giving a few thankful words.
And so I want to thank you for getting this far. I'm well aware that this novel is far from the best, but I could see how much my writing has grown by now. At some point I might even rewrite the first couple chapters to bring them up to quality. But not right now, since I really need to get into a better flow for writing and it would also further cripple my already wacky release rate.
Working full time and procrastinating as much as I do hinders the novel a lot. I could probably release daily, if I manage to get my mind to do it. But it tends to wander around, preferring watching youtube videos over writing.
But despite all of that, we still got here. First volume finished with around 60k words and 54 chapters. It actually turned out way better than I first expected. I'm making up a lot of stuff along the way, but I do have a general outline to the novel. Especially for now, things are easier this way. If I would get more serious I would have to create a full detailed outline for the whole thing.
This novel is like my training wheels. I want my writing to grow with the story, with the characters. 
So please, feel free to criticize my writing as much as you like. I do prefer feedback because with that, I can see where I have to improve myself on. 
Since this is released on Webnovel and most female lead stories do have some romance in them, I do think I will tackle on that genre as well in later parts of the novel. For now I want to keep it mostly focused on fantasy elements and the general story.
I'm experimenting quite a bit with the story, so plans might change and some plot points mentioned may or may not be addressed along the way. 
 
The following flaws which I'm aware of are planned to be addressed in volume 2:
-More building to side characters, story was mostly focused on Yoru/Iris until now
-Better description for characters to give them a more vivid feel. I always imagine the characters in my head when reading a book, but I don't think I myself describe them enough to be easily visualized
-more improvement in my writing
-better release schedule, at least more consistent (thinking on at least 2 chaps a week, on weekends
-more references to other novels/anime
-a more unique style of storytelling
 
 
So thank you for your attention and please continue on enjoying my writing. What else will come up in this story leading to a full out war? Who exactly is the demon Meteora and what are her planes? What happened to the members of the group? Find out in the next volume…
(God that was too cliché, wasn't it?)

In a world, where countless wars between angels and demons have been fought, humanity finally had enough and decided to free themselves of the shackles put upon them by the other races. Together with hybrids, children of demons/angels, they aim to overpower both angels and demons to bring peace for humanity.

Living in such a place, the demon hybrid girl Yoru tries to survive and just wants a comfortable life. But things aren’t so easy for an orphan who has to attend military school, which trains these hybrid children like Yoru to fight the other races.

This novel tells the story of how Yoru manages to stand on her own feet in this cruel world.

::::::::::::::::::::
My first novel, so don’t expect too much and enjoy.I will use this novel to get used to writing and get better at English overall.
Feel free to leave any suggestions or criticism.

As the grandmaster who founded the Demonic Sect, Wei WuXian roamed the world in his wanton ways, hated by millions for the chaos he created. In the end, he was backstabbed by his dearest shidi and killed by powerful clans that combined to overpower him. He incarnates into the body of a lunatic who was abandoned by his clan and is later, unwillingly, taken away by a famous cultivator among the clans—Lan WangJi, his archenemy. This marks the start of a thrilling yet hilarious journey of attacking monsters, solving mysteries, and raising children. From the mutual flirtation along the way, Wei WuXian slowly realizes that Lan WangJi, a seemingly haughty and indifferent poker-face, holds more feelings for Wei WuXian than he is letting on.

October 12th: 

Transcendent has woken up at his usual timing. 

After freshening up, he checked the time. 7:30. Grabbing some breakfast, he took his bag and dashed off to the Lecture Hall. Today's lectures start at 8. With the looming winter chills, it's pure torture.

After the lectures ended, Transcendent was about to talk to a friend when his phone buzzed. 

"Finish the Assignment." it said. 

Shaking his head, he dashed off to the library and sat down. 

During those tedious hours, Youtube tried to seduce him, scribd tried to distract him, and his mind was protesting. 

'Damn it. I need to get this done.' he gritted his teeth and continued. 

"Phew. That was tiring. Now, I can finally..." "Buzz" 

"What? Majors are starting on Nov 16th?" as if his heart leaped out, Transcendent started to tremble uncontrollably. 

"But...But....I have yet to edit Transcending Limits.." he choked. 

'Fufufu. You didn't even finish the second layer's outline. When will you write it?' a devilish voice said in his mind. 

'No. I was only thinking for a long time so that I can be satisfied with the quality. I can finish the outline now. But I want to do it right!' he yelled desperately, at the unknown voice and at himself.

'Are you sure? You can chose to avoid it if you want to.' the voice grew softer like a cotton ball and hit the deepest parts of his soul. 

A blank look appeared in his eyes. 

Give up? 

Then what would that make of him as a person? Didn't he always want to write that one Eastern Fantasy he can read without putting down? What would happen to that dream? What about the readers who he knew and didn't? 

A fierce light shone in his eyes, blazing away all the darkness in his mind. 

'After all the hours spent on it, how can I give it up?' Clenching his fist, Transcendent took a deep breath and looked for the voice within. 

It was gone. 

From that day, he started researching on stories in the free time he got. 

But the more he read, the more he realised how much he can improve the story. 

It was inspirational, but also intimidating to see the long road. 

However, he was grateful. Many don't even get to see the road in their lifetime and hence, cannot appreciate the satisfaction that comes with the journey's hardships. 

Then, he started writing: Plotting, world building, characters, the system, cultures, history. 

But most of the times, he was...thinking. 

The ideas danced in his head. His experiences often mixed with the plots to create better and more interesting points. 

Even when he wasn't thinking actively, he knew, at the back of his mind, those thoughts were swirling, as his subconscious tried to figure out better and better solutions. s

The idea he thought of a week ago would come back on a night in the perfect form. A story he read would inspire him to increase his standards in a department. The dreams he had would sometimes give away valuable insights.

Finally, battling his indolence and time, he finished the outline of the first part. It is very solid compared to the one he previously had. 

He was advised to immediately start writing it down. It was still 3 weeks before exams. He could afford it. 

Yet, he refused. 

He didn't want to do a half-assed job. Not again. 

If he is going to write it, he is gonna plan everything and refine it to the best of his capabilities. 

He had enough of feeling ashamed at his own writing. Now is time to change. 

Even if takes long, even if it's painful, the long road cannot stop him from moving forward. 

He is the author of Transcending Limits.

P.S: I have holidays from 28th of this month till 30th of December. So, you're free to roast me for more chapters if I'm being lazy during that time. 

I intended to write a comedic version, but then I realised I just want to talk about what's happening on my side. So, this is what we have.

“Why am I so awesome?” Sheng Tian sighed for the ninth time as he proudly stood on a mountain cliff. 

The ground below was dyed red as the three people behind him pitifully spat out blood. They were trembling as they pointed their fingers weakly at the handsome Sheng Tian and shouted “Bastard! We had a deal! You go left and we go right! We split the loot fifty-fifty."

"Yet you...you betrayed us!” The strong, fair skinned young man in the middle of the three exclaimed, glaring at Sheng Tian and punching the ground with his bloodied fist. 

Sheng Tian bestowed the group with a generous smile as he gently shook his head and said,  “My fellow cultivators, I can’t let you commit such terrible crimes. I shall bear all the sins by taking the entire loot.” 

Then he raised his head and looked up at the sky, sighing once more in melancholy. “If I don’t go to hell, who will? Ai, Why am I so righteous?” 

The three speechless young men coughed out another mouthful of blood due to sheer anger and fainted on the spot. 

Sheng Tian lamented he closed his eyes. “No one can understand my plight. It’s so lonely at the top!” 

“Yeah, the top of shamelessness.” A female voice sounded in his head as his expression changed into a grimace. 

……………

Warning: *Sheng Tian is a very humble and kind person.* 

PS: This is not a Wish Fulfilment Story, *ahem*, well, clearly it is the manifestation of the  Author’s wish to write a Fulfilling story. :P

Editor’s Synopsis: 
			
            “I found you on the streets.”  

Sheng Tian's life turned upside down that day.

Nearly starved to death, he wished to end his life. Only a burning desire to have the freedom to do what he longed for and a small hope to uncover his mysterious past kept him going.

The bottom most point of life became his rock solid foundation as he turned carefree, aspirant and expectant towards life.

However, before his aspirations were realised, he was accidentally killed.

As if pre-ordained by the Grand Dao, he ended up obtaining “Absolute Origin”; which the gods coveted, immortals dreamed and the Celestials drooled, that even the ancient of legends had no idea of.

What is the truth of Absolute Origin?

Will he find the “freedom” he always longed for? 

Was his death really accidental?

Join Sheng Tian as he embarks on a Journey to break free the shackles of Self and World to Transcend Limits!

Okay guys, I know you've been waiting for an update on this story and I've come to a decision.

I'll be doing a massive revision on the original outline of this story mainly because of several reasons.

First is that as some of you may or may not know, I write my stories using my phone but since I changed phones, some of my previous drafts regarding this story couldn't be recovered. I was only able to recover the previous chapters and some of the earlier versions of my drafts and outline so things are very incomplete and I'm finding it hard to follow the plot I previously set because it's been a long time and you guys know that I'm also writing another story.

As for why I'm able to continue writing that story, it's because I had originally signed a contract with Webnovel for that so I have a copy of most of my drafts and outlines in my email.

Rest assured that I am not dropping this story. At the most, I'll be rewriting it to give the story more background, improve the character profiles, elaborate the world settings and make sure the story isn't as rushed because I feel that as it is now, there will be several plot holes that might not make sense in the future if I don't fix it.

So please be patient. I know I have a horrible update sched but I just don't want to publish any work that I'm not personally satisfied with.

I'll be doing a mass release on this once I've reorganized everything and I'm aiming for at least ten chapters in one go and this should be released sometime this December.

Thank you guys for staying and still supporting this story. It's because of you guys that I haven't decided to drop this story despite the long hiatus and issues I have with it so thanks a lot!

Lots of love! <3
Rina

She grew up as an orphan who lived on the streets, witnessing and experiencing the horrors and cruelty in life.

At a tender age of five, she was already a little girl with a cold and mature demeanor as she fought to survive in her harsh environment until the day she met the man who saved her from her miserable fate.

The man became her teacher, her father and the reason she lived. She did everything she was told without question. Everything. Whether it was to fight, hide who she was or conflict with what she wanted.

She would give up everything to follow him just so that she would never be alone, even her life.

In the end, she ended up doing exactly that but she had no regrets even in her dying moments. Just a peaceful smile as she stared at her benefactor's tear-stained face amidst the fire that was burning the temple they lived in.

Raising her pale, trembling hand, she wiped away the tears from her beloved master's face before she coughed out blood and gave him another smile.

"Thank you Master... for everything." she whispered before she closed her eyes and her hand fell with a thud. A small serene smile on her lips while blood trickled out.

"Little Rin, I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..." he gasped between heaving sobs as he clutched the body of his beloved student to him. 

Grief shaking his body as his chest clenched painfully as if something was breaking and to him there was. The young girl was not only his student but someone he considered to be his own daughter and the guilt he felt over her death almost overwhelmed him.

With a shuddering breath, he gently laid her down and kisses her forehead before straightening up.

"My little flower, be at peace. Master will make things right."

As soon as he finished speaking, a bright light slowly emanated from his body and enveloped the young girl blinding those who surrounded the temple before an explosion occured, leaving nothing behind.

Unbeknownst to the girl, her soul who was supposed to descend to the netherworld was encompassed by a warm, bright glow until it all slowly faded. Just like that, all the things she has ever known, ever had and ever met disappeared and everything changed.

Then she opened her eyes.

After their lectures, Fern and Emily walk through the huge library and sit in their favourite study room. 

Sitting down at the big table in the middle, Fern asks, "You actually remembered to reserve the room, right?" 

Grimacing, Emily says, "Of course I did. I will forever have the embarrassment of being kicked out etched in my memory. How was I supposed to know that we had to make a reservation?"

Fern chuckles and says, "Honestly, I have no idea. At least we know now." 

Once the two are settled in, they immediately dive into their work. 

Fern has her papers, highlighters, and laptop spread across half of the table. On the giant whiteboard wall, Fern has scribbled out an outline for her proposal. Switching between writing on the wall and typing on her laptop, Fern is in a world of her own.

In comparison, Emily is sitting on the other side of the table with only her laptop. As she searches for papers on her topic, she regularly gets distracted by random thoughts that pop up in her head. Soon, Emily is spending more time looking at cute pictures of animals than getting any actual work done. 

Looking down at her word count and realizing that she hasn't written anything in 30 minutes, Emily huffs and gets up. 

Confused, Fern looks up and says, "What's up?" 

"I just can't focus." Starting to walk towards the door, Emily says, "I think I'm going to go find a snack." 

"Wait." Indicating towards Emily's laptop, Fern says, "Show me your paper. Explain it to me." 

After mentally debating whether or not she wants to have this conversation, Emily says okay and sits next to Fern. She pulls up her paper and starts telling Fern about the topic. 

"I'm writing about squirrels and their role in the ecosystem. They're pretty important for the dispersion of tree seeds." 

"I've never thought about squirrels as important for the spread of trees, but I guess that makes sense. Do you have an outline that I can read?" 

"No, I don't like outlines." 

Fern narrows her eyes and says, "That's like saying you're going to go on a road trip, but you don't have any driving instructions." 

"Well, I did drive to Toronto without instructions last summer." 

"Yea and you kept having to stop and ask people for directions. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean that you can skip it. " 

Realizing that Fern isn't going to let this go, Emily starts to avoid eye contact and slowly reach towards the doorknob. Once she's close enough, she points to the whiteboard and yells, "What's that- a typo?" Not taking the time to see if Fern falls for her excellent distraction, Emily rips the door open and- 

She gets hit in the back by the cap of a whiteboard marker. 

Crap. 

Turning around and looking at Fern sheepishly, Emily says, "Does this mean that you aren't going to let me leave until I finish an outline?" 

Unamused, Fern crosses her arms and says, "Yes! Now get to work." 

Reluctantly returning to her work, Emily says, "yes, ma'am."

.... 

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Emily has finished her outline, and Fern is just wrapping up her proposal. 

Fern is channeling her inner famous actress and is dramatically reading out her research proposal. She only drops her drama character when she stops to correct errors in the document. 

Ignoring the tedious nature of a research proposal, Emily selectively pays attention to the cool science. Whenever all of the aspects of Fern's logical argument come together for a fascinating conclusion, or Fern looks particularly proud, Emily lets out a cheer of applause. 

After Fern has finished performing, she sees in her periphery a group of disgruntled students staring at her and Emily. 

Lowering her voice, Fern sits in her chair and says, "There are a bunch of grumpy people looking at us. Maybe I got a little too excited." 

Rolling her eyes, Emily says, "Eh, who cares. We'll never see those people again." 

Unsure, Fern says, "Okay." Focusing on her laptop, Fern opens up the submission folder of the project proposal and turns in her assignment. 

"Finished! Let's get out of here." 

Packing up her stuff, Emily says, "Wanna go celebrate?" 

"Yes! Let's go to the local gardening store. I want to get some seeds." 

"Seeds?" 

"Going on an adventure to look at gardening supplies sounds like a great time." 

Giving Fern a dubious look, Emily shrugs and says, "I'll come along."

A young university student, Fern, is a mess. She has yet to find something that makes her feel passionately excited. 

When Fern receives a bad mark on a research project proposal, she is forced to seek help from a professor and discovers the magic of biology. 

As Fern pursues her fascination with the field, she and her friends will inadvertently revolutionize the world's understanding of the planet and its inhabitants.
