"City of Minerva" 

I stand outside sitting on a tree stump the guild cut down before I moved in. The air becomes vague, I stare at nature, as it's the beginning of spring. The leaves begin to return, flowers spirit, and the color resources into the world. 


Miss Li abruptly enters my gate, she holds two bags of groceries. By her body language and the tired facial expression, it seems she might've walked. I move from the tree stump and she hands me a bag... Of course, I grabbed it but now I have to walk.

We pass stores and Miss Li gazes at them, she constantly glances back at every store or concession stand. 

'You know what the name for Athens is right?" 

She calmly shook her head no, before asking me she hands me a bar of chocolate, in the attempt of making tell her. 

'It's known as the greedy city, we got that name for the ridiculous prices here, and when you look around there's nothing but stores or concession stands. Compared to Minerva getting medicine is around two silver or one nickel but in Athens, it ranges from Four Nickels to One Gold. This is a city where any place else everyone 


'Do you want to go and shop, I guess we have some extra time to spend.' Immediately I regret what I said, but before getting the chance to take back my comment she grabs my sleeve. She pull me into a store that sells clothing, browsing their options she finds a green dress and runs into the dressing room. 

When she comes back out it perfectly fits her. The waist goes from thin to puffy, something you would see a princess wear. She spins and asks for my thoughts. I gave her my honest thoughts, " it fit her natural curves and represents her eyes."

-Qixia Temple-

We finally arrive at Qixia Temple, we carry two bags each. The temple that once looked like a tree now is just a temple. Before walking up the stairs, the doorknob rattle and the lock begins to twist. Monk Xi Lao was waiting for our return.

'Oh, didn't see you there! anyway, come on in. You must be agitated right now, I asked Monk Li to walk you here. It's the first part of the test, but what I wasn't expecting was her walking there and back. 

Anyways I will be placing you under her supervision, she has agreed to train you, watch over you, and must be very strict. Seems may have started a tad bit too early, she made you go shopping with her!   
Anywho sit here, and I'll bring your work. Oh and welcome to Qixia Temple!'

He sends me in a room with nothing but a fan, table, and bookcases. I sit diagonally in from of the furnace, the fan contradicts the furnace. The door opens and Miss Li comes from behind it. She places a stack of books and three scrolls on the table. 'I need you to finish reading this in a week.' she demanded. She disperses from the room, leaving me and books.


「Situation Analyzed. Mission: Read all books within 7 days.」

「New ability: Quick Read, The ability to read anything within seconds of reading.」

I didn't realize that I no longer had "Quick Read" 
I begin with the book of Qi. This book will tell me all I need to know about Qi, and how it is used. The moment I opened the book I feel a surge of energy rising within my body. 

「Book Analyzed. Information completed. Mission: 1/7」

I quickly found my intelligence stats raising higher, my sense stat also raised by two each. By the time I finish this, I should have gained 14 pts each and my stat level will be ridiculously higher than the others. 

Before the new update, the system didn't allow me to raise my level by so much without using skill points. 

「Objective Completed: Books Fully recognized. 7/7 successfully read.」


「- Intelligence Level: 32 

- Sense Level: 27 」

My Intelligence and my sense level raised far beyond my expectations, I thought that because I was still only a Level 1 that the system wouldn't allow me to rise it this high. 

Before leaving, I browse the other books about Qi. Wishing to further my knowledge and information on Qi I read them. But nothing new popped up, forcing me to become bored. I instantly leave the room, entering on a private conversation between Monk Xi Lao and Miss Li. I hide, yet I cannot hear them they whisper to low.

「Action Recognized: Enhanced Hearing」

"I can't believe it." Xi Lao said. 

"Yeah, his potential is endless, it's like a bottomless pit."

" How much stronger can he become? Just by seeing him I could tell that enormous potential from anywhere. Miss Li, you must train him well, we must not have another failure. He must become it!"

Monk Gusty appears behind me and whispers "what are we doing?" Shocked my body jumped like a fish out of water. His footsteps, breathing, and even scent was invisible. I couldn't sense him at all. 

'I wanted to return the books, but I decided to wait here until they finished talking.'

He glances at the books. "Are you telling me you read all these damn books." we walk out of hiding, and their gazes fall upon us. "He's telling me he read all this book guys, look." Monk Gusty begins laughing hysterically.

'System is it okay for me to expose my quick reading?'

「Judgement is yours, just keep my existence out of it.」

I explained my ability to quickly read, Xi Lao, specializes in sensory. meaning that he can catch if I am lying. But in case they make me show my ability to them by giving me three books. I place my hand over two books and perfectly respond with the meaning, plot, and ending of each book. Mesmerized they bombard me, asking questions.

As soon as I felt crowded I instantly asked for the room I'll be staying in. Xi Lao escorts me to room 3a. He tells me to bring out the pendant I wrapped around my neck. As soon as I did it gleams a bright red color opening the door. 

What I see inside is a home. There's a kitchen that extends 101 sq ft, just below the average home. The living room extends to 286 sq ft, a decent size, but smaller than my homes. I bow to Xi Lao and walks away after returning the bow. 

「Objective: Study more on Qi.」

「System Updating」

《Wake up, sir》

About 30 years ago all the nations wedged war on one another. A war threatening humanity we decided to call it..

The Great Dominance War!

Children were hanged, mothers raped, fathers enslaved. This happened everywhere. 

Then the war ended after six months of nonstop killing, fighting.

Why? 

...Because ancient beings known as Hellions resurrected to claim what was there’s. The land we claimed once belonged to them and took it back.

So what did we do to get it back, simple we used the Hellion dna and became one with it. Now we call those who awakened soldiers. They fight to protect.


We are science experiments created with hellions blood, we gain power and special abilities.

One day a screen appeared in front of me, it told me really weird stuff:

「Welcome to the Unknown」

《Goal: Earn the title of God》

 * Lvl must reach 400 to begin*

*Do you accept*

For some reason it wanted me to become god. Why I don’t know, if I can well that’s already something i seen by my own eyes. It really can turn me into one.

Hmmmmmm... so far,... Let me give you the answers for some questions bugging the curious brains out there.

1.) Where do you get the ideas for your story?

**** Well actually I've been an avid reader of Webnovel since when I was in college and every time I read those translated stories, I have this other side of my mind wherein I wish that the character will do this and that instead of this. Then there were this "what if the main character said this blah blah" instead.
Those all sorts of ideas came flooding in my mind and as they accumulated over time,... finally I decided to make my own story and put those ideas together.

After going through some hesitation and self-doubt, here I am starting my own novel now!!! LOL! 

Never would I imagine that someone will get fond of reading this story. I thought that no one will notice my work and it will be left unnoticed just like that until it gets buried down to the sea of books out there.

MY DEAR READERS,... YOU'RE A GREAT SOURCE OF MOTIVATION TO KEEP MYSELF GOING... Thank You!!!

2.) Who did you model the Main Character after?

***** No one????? HAHAHA HAHAHA! I honestly don't know exactly where did I get Mu Lingxi. She was a combination of the characters I'd love from different books that I've read. Well, let me just give you some of those books that I've read instead.

I loved Zhang Xuan from LIBRARY OF HEAVENS PATH...He was my first love. LOL! HAHAHAHAH actually, Janus's way of speaking maybe was an influence from reading that novel.

I also read that girl SHEN YANXIAO, I loved her character, I hope Mu Lingxi will grow strong just like her. She was from THE GOOD FOR NOTHING eme...I honestly forgot the title.. hehe...sarreh

And many many more transmigration stories. I basically love transmigration with a lot of face slapping. HAHAHAHA

(BTW: I've been on hiatus in web novel ever since I started my field study cause I've been too busy and I no longer have enough time for myself. Much more to have the luxury of time to leisurely read novels... and I guess it's been more than a year already I think???)

3.) Are you a cat lover?
****** Certainly! I'm a proud mother of four...
Four cats to be precise! LOL! HAHAHA HAHAHA

Their names were Janus, Bina, NJ, and Bran.

Yes! You've read it right. HAHAHAHHA
Janus is for real!!!! Albeit the Janus that I have here is a white ragdoll cat. But if he could speak???? I'm pretty sure that he will talk exactly just like Janus in our story.

What makes me think that way??? Well, his blue eyes told me so... HEHE

4.) Where can we see her cross-dressing and start learning magic????

****Since my story is just created last July 5, basically it was just almost a month old.
Right now I'm still developing it further and I want to show everything she had been through after she transmigrated. As you can see, from the title itself, it says LIFE AFTER DEATH... So right now, as much as possible I was planning to show you more on her life after the transmigration thing.
Also if you will pay notice to some of the scenes that I discreetly mention in the chapters, it will give you a glimpse of some details here and there that will eventually be useful throughout the story.
In the meantime, I would like to ask for your patience. HEHE 

Pardon me if I can't just send Lingxi straight to Magus Academia and start learning magic right away.
But don't worry,  rest assured that I will do my best not to disappoint you guys. 

I promise that you will love SORCERESS 101. So just keep reading and stay calm.

What will you do if you suddenly wake up as another person after you die???

What will you also do if you realized that your pet, cat, started talking to you???
****

This is the story of Mu Lingxi, a hopeless romantic teenage girl from the 21st century who transmigrated to another world after falling to her death. Together with her little black cat Janus, she began to traverse an unfamiliar world where warlocks and sorceress exist.

Due to a few unexpected turns of events, she ended up being engaged with a prince.
But she strongly believes in Queen Elsa's words before from the movie FROZEN,
"You cannot marry a man you just met once!"
and this was why she highly objected to the marriage arrangement.
She even chose to cross dress just to hide her identity!

On her journey to learn the way of magic, she got herself entangled with five young handsome men. Together they will venture the world of magic, love, and friendship.

"Living in a place different from where I came from, how will I survive???

How could a hopeless romantic girl like me cope up with a life surrounded by five beautiful young men???

Will I be able to hide my true identity until the end??"

"MEOW~"
[Oh c'mon, little lass. Why are you asking yourself that??? You sound so rhetoric....
It's not for you to say, but for them to find out by themselves]
*Janus winked to the readers out there*

(As soon as the Grim Reaper notices his death watch is missing. He heads up to the Grim Reaper Head Office.) 

Location:  Grim Reaper Head Office, Seoul

Grim Reaper: Aaah! How can I be so careless & nowadays humans don't even know how to drive through the road. I should have used my magical powers instead of using my human form.
(Suddenly 2 college girls pass him & they started talking to each other in a small voice )
Girl 1: Aaah! Look at him he is so handsome & charismatic.
Girl 2: Yeah! You are right just look at him. Shall I ask him for his mobile number?
Girl 1: No, I will go first! Then try your luck.
Girl 2: No, it was my idea to ask him for his mobile number.
Girl 1: Ok! You go then!
(As they turned right after their decision Grim Reaper was not there. He entered through the secret door of Grim Reaper's Department which was hidden on the wall.)
Girl 1: Ah! Where he had gone within a small amount of time. It's like our day is gonna be bad.
Girl 2: Yeah! Me too. It was a nice chance to get a good looking & charming boyfriend.
Girl 1: Let's go then. Why are we waiting here? Come on.
( Grim Reaper enters the office & takes a seat  to meet the Chief Reaper of the department there he meets Grim Reaper 101.)
Grim Reaper 101: Hey buddy! Long time no see! Where were you all these days?
Grim Reaper: Hmm, I was present in this city only but I was too busy with my work.
Grim Reaper 101: Then what's the matter? You can up today? Is it a holiday for you?
Grim Reaper: What shall I say, my friend, I lost my death watch!
Grim Reaper 101: Whaaatttt??? Are you kidding me?
Grim Reaper: No, seriously I have misplaced my death watch & today I came here to report this event to the Chief.
Grim Reaper 101: Aaahhh! Seriously. Do you remember where you used it last time?
Grim Reaper: Yeah! I used it last when I was contracted to take a soul from Pusan University Hospital & after the collection, I kept my watch in my coat's pocket.
Grim Reaper 101: So come on let's check where your death watch is currently located. 
Grim Reaper: How? Is this possible?
Grim Reaper 101: Yes! It's possible. Didn't you know that each death watch has it's own Grim Reaper's previous life's blood on it because of which we can find it easily?
Grim Reaper: What previous life? We Grim Reaper's do also have a previous life?
Grim Reaper 101: I am also not sure about it I have read it in an old book present in the Grim Reaper Library in India. It says that some special Grim  Reaper's were normal human beings who lived on earth.
Grim  Reaper: Have you gone to India?
Grim Reaper 101: Yeah! India is a fun country there is so much to learn in their books.
Grim  Reaper: Come on! Let's search for the death watch.
(Grim Reaper 101 enters the Grim Reaper Cyber Asylum & checks out the system & comes out after some time.)
Grim Reaper: What happened? Have you got the location?
Grim Reaper 101: No tension buddy I have got the location of your death watch it's here in Seoul itself.
Grim Reaper: Where in Seoul? What's the perfect location?
Grim Reaper 101: It's here. South Korea, Seoul, Gangnam-gu, Yeoksam-dong, 718.
( As they moved out of the room after finding the location of the death they both land in front of the Chief Reaper.)
Chief: Why were you looking for me Grim Reaper 10X? (Grim Reaper coded name)
Grim Reaper: Chief, I came to report you that I misplaced the death watch.
Chief: Come to my office (In an angry voice).
(Both Chief & the Grim Reaper reaches the office.)
Chief: I have never seen an irresponsible Grim Reaper-like you! Do you know how important is a death watch for a Grim Reaper?
Grim Reaper: Chief now I know the perfect location of my death watch. I will recover my watch as soon as possible Chief!
Chief: Before you recover your watch, you must face the consequences of losing it. I am gonna take all your Grim Reaper powers till when you recover your watch. Till then you have to go to earth as a common human being & you will not receive any kind of help from here & by any reason, if you fail to recover the watch in 5 months you will be killed by our special  Grim Reaper Termination Reapers.
Grim Reaper: Chief!!!!
Chief: Yes, Grim Reaper 10X. It's your call now! Do as soon as possible if you have a thirst to live forward.
(As the talk between the 2 got over all mystical power's of Grim  Reaper was taken away by the Chief & Grim Reaper was left unconscious at some part of the Seoul City. And Grim Reaper woke up after some time. )
Grim Reaper: Aaahhh! Where am I?

A charismatic Grim Reaper who misplaces his most important tool of his job which is the death watch & which is found out by a beautiful young lady. Let's see what will happen next with their faith's ?

When Benjamin first came upon the name ‘The Tree of Time’, he immediately rejected it.
 
What the hell? 
This is a god-damned ginkgo! What kind of relation would it have with time? It would still merely be gingko regardless of its pompous, magnificent name in this world.
 
There was not much information about the ‘Tree of Time’ in "The Encyclopedia of the Plants in the Kingdom". According to the book, this particular species was deemed to be extinct in the kingdom, and was a rare find in the whole of the land. Only a few leaves were kept and conserved. According to the legends, there were people who could use them to make a beacon of time and use it to travel through time and space to alternate worlds.
 
When he saw the phrase ‘alternate worlds’, Benjamin’s eyelids twitched.
 
Could it be?
 
He carefully examined the memories he had on the final night he had before he teleported. He was sitting in front of his study desk, and on the desk was his computer, on his right his mobile phone and the left a stack of books. The gingko leaf he randomly picked up to use as a bookmark was most probably in between one of the books.
 
If he accidentally fell asleep, it was possible that he came into contact with the books, which in turn caused the leaf to drop out of them….
 
"..."
 
So, this was all the fault of gingko leaves?
 
Benjamin was overwhelmed by the unscientific approach of this explanation; gingko creating teleportation? You must be pulling his leg! However, worrying about science was not exactly a wise choice when he did successfully teleport himself into this world.
 
There was no use for him to cry over spilt milk. Whether the gingko could actually create teleportation no longer bore any meaning to Benjamin. What he needed to do now was to break the curse within him. Thus, he should instead focus on where he could find another leaf from the famed ‘Tree of Time’.
 
It was not stated in the book.
 
Gingko was a mythical item in the Kingdom of Helius; it was not even a popular myth but a neglected one. It would occasionally be mentioned in some obscure books or stories. No one had actually seen it before. 
This was the reason why the descriptions about gingko in the Encyclopedia were rather brief.
 
Oh darn it... He would be dead meat. 
How was he going to find something considered mythical?
 
Benjamin’s attempt to break his curse met a dead end. 
Michelle was really something. Was it really necessary for her to find something so unusual to be the medium for her curse? She could have settled for some random piece of leaf! Instead, he was now left stuck in this mess.
 
...Wait.
 
How did Michelle find gingko if it really was that scarce? A thought suddenly hit Benjamin as he barked at the System, "Quick, show me the picture of the gingko leaf you just displayed. It’s Michelle’s leaf. Let me see it again."
 
The System sounded petulant, "Why? That hogs up my RAM."
 
Benjamin pressured the System, "Stop dilly-dallying, hurry! Even if you stored up the bulk of your RAM, you wouldn’t even get a sprout anyways."
 
"Alright, alright, hold on," the System finally gave in after Benjamin’s constant urges. After thirty seconds of mechanical noises that came from the System’s processes, the picture was finally displayed before Benjamin.
 
Benjamin had his attention fixed on the leaf. 
"Zoom it, zoom it again..."
 
As expected.
When the picture was zoomed in and the details on the leaf were finally clear to Benjamin, he finally understood how Michelle found that gingko.
 
That was the bookmark he used before he teleported.
 
Finally, the mystery was solved. He picked up the leaf and used it as a bookmark, and the bookmark somehow teleported him into this world and transformed him into Benjamin. The leaf was probably dropped right next to him, where Michelle picked it up and used it as a medium to curse Benjamin.
So, Michelle really did pick the gingko leaf at random and made it her medium to put a curse.
 
Who else could he blame? Blame that leaf; it was the one that started all this. If he was to write a memoir some time in the future, he would definitely name it as "The Bloody Case of A Gingko".
 
He researched on curses and gingko for so long to only learn of this unfortunate event. Benjamin felt like crying. 
Undoubtedly, it was going to be difficult for him to break the curse by himself. The gingko in this world went extinct long ago. He could never find another one as a medium. The only gingko he knew was with Michelle. What was the difference between knowing and not knowing, then?
 
Benjamin had no choice but to temporarily give up on breaking the curse. No point worrying over something he had no control of. A watched flower would never bloom, but an untended willow would grow; if he could just forget about this, maybe he would one day come across another piece of gingko.
 
He should instead work on something else. 
Setting the "Encyclopaedia of Plants in the Kingdom" aside, he once again took out the "Magic 101" that was properly hidden out of sight. 
Aside from the curses, Benjamin was also interested in enchantments and the creation of magical tools.
He gave some thoughts and decided to flip to the section regarding creation of magical tools.  
 
On the topic of enchantments, there was no need for him to use it in the near future as his bullets were all blessed. He was much more curious about the topic he knew the least - the creation of magical tools.
 
The cross he got from the bishop was probably a type of magical tool. Obviously the bishop would not call it a "magical tool"; he probably named it "divine apparatus" or something.
 
If he could learn how to make magical tools, his abilities would skyrocket! 
Ecstatic, he read on. 
He was soon disappointed again after he finished reading the section.
 
According to the book, the creation of magical tools would be a complicated process which would require some extremely rare materials. This was not the point, however. The point was, most of the methods in creating a magical tool was lost during the church’s massacre. In this book, only the method of creating one specific magical tool remained - the cloak worn by Michelle and the mages from the Silent Academy. Apparently, the cloak could slightly increase the magical power of the person wearing the cloak.
 
What the heck could he do with the cloak? If he wore that, he was basically announcing to the world that he is a mage! The church would be very elated to capture him, really.
 
Benjamin shook his head dejectedly. 
He was hit with disappointment one after another. He lost his optimism now; 
He could not even find the motivation to read the part on enchantments.
 
Ah, the reading could wait. He should do something better to change his state of mind. 
 
Benjamin closed "Magic 101" and hid it properly before he took out the rock that was named ‘Water Elemental Crystal’. In hindsight, he was thankful that he managed to get this from the two when he sought payment for his medical treatment.
 
Hopefully, this thing would not disappoint him too.
 
Just as its name suggested, this was a pure crystal of the Water Element. According to them, this had quite a number of functions: training one’s elemental attraction, helping in the release of water spells, and could even act as a raw material in the creation of magical tools... Apparently, they would never bear to part with this crystal if it was not for Benjamin saving their teacher.
 
With the praises sung, Benjamin would never let go of the opportunity to make use of the crystal.
 
Water Elemental Crystal, huh….
 
If it was possible, Benjamin wanted to use this precious crystal to boost his abilities; that was what normal mages would do anyways. Benjamin was not an average mage though, the method that worked out for the others might not work for him.
 
His way of improving was actually pretty straightforward - strengthen his triangular symbol. 
However, could he bring the crystal into the space of his consciousness?
 
Benjamin was always regretful that he could not store things in his Space. The teleported protagonists in fictional stories always had an Inventory around them that they could chuck things in. Some of the stories even allowed them to plant some crops in their Inventory and create another world in them! His Space, on the other hand, was not made for storage.
 
He tested this before. The only few things that could enter the Space were water particles, the System’s annoying voice, and himself. 
Although the Water Elemental Crystal was basically made of water particles, it was solidified. He was unsure whether the crystal would get through.
 
No use brooding on it. Benjamin decided to give it a try. 
He held the Water Elemental Crystal in his hand, closed his eyes, and entered the Space. When he opened his eyes once again, he was in the Space, but his hands are empty. No sign of the Crystal whatsoever.
 
Damn it! He failed to get the crystal in.
 
Benjamin returned to the real world and stared at the blue stone, frustrated. They said that this was made from water particles? If that was so, he should be able to get it in the Space then. Why was it stuck outside here, then?
 
Water particles... Ah!
 
Benjamin palmed his forehead as he realised what was the problem. 
Since it was made from water particles, he should move the crystal just the way he move the water particles inside the Space! It would not work if he moved it in the way he entered the Space.
 
Yeah, this was it!
 
Benjamin adjusted himself immediately. Once again, he was in the mysterious state where he was half in the Space and half in real life. 
Then, he focused his attention on the Water Elemental Crystal.
 
With a whoosh, the crystal disappeared!
 
Benjamin tried to contain his excitement as he went inside the Space again. The clear blue stone was now levitating in the air, emitting a slight aura of moisture around it. There was quite a number of water particles swimming, as if happily around it like schools of fish.
 
Benjamin sighed in relief upon seeing this. 
He finally did get the Water Elemental Crystal in here. 
If this did not work, he could do nothing but to barge towards the Silent Academy and complain of the fraud they committed by giving him fraudulent medical treatment compensation. 


Kubei was just an ordinary pencil and button pusher working a day job, hating his boss and making horrible speeches when one day he fell asleep after pushing an all-nighter. When he woke up, he was bound to a chair, facing three creepy robed women and in a body way too young and way too weak to be his own. As he slowly came to, he realized that he was no longer in the same universe as he was before. He had teleported to the Kingdom of Helius, where an all-powerful church rules its lands and wages war against the elusive group known only as Mages. Armed with an incredibly cocky neural interface that just won’t shut up and his own sheer wit, our MC will find himself not just fighting to survive, but maybe even something bigger than himself.

Ever since his rebirth, Ron had been meditating and learning to control his magic and by the age of two, he was able to successfully cast a spell. Although the strength and level of spell was very low, it was a spell nonetheless. Besides learning to control magic on his own, he had also managed to learn different languages and some common spells from observing his family. Although the Weasley Family was poor, they were still one of the oldest Wizarding families of the world. They had ancient Tomes and Grimoires full of ancient spells, techniques and other knowledge. But they all either required one to be extremely rich or have specific wizarding talents that hadn't been seen for thousands of years. Except Ron didn't have one but many of these talents, his practice of meditating everyday had resulted in a unexpected surprise, he had become a natural Occlumens!

Although his level of Occlumency had only reached the first level of clearing one's mind — making it "blank and empty", it was still one of the  greatest achievement an adult wizard much less a Two year old child could hope for. Besides Occlumency, his magic control exercises which at the current time was basically just use magic until exhaustion had resulted in an increase in his magic power and his body adapting to the high usage of magic every day. From an outsider's perspective Ron was skimming through the books, looking at the different pictures like a normal Two year old. But he was currently imprinting those books deep into his mind! Ron was currently deeply engrossed in a book when he felt two people approaching him from different sides and he leapt back instantly.

`Bam!'

In the place Ron was currently stood were two identical boys laying on the floor holding their heads. ``What the hell were you guys doing?! you could have hurt yourself!'' looking at their younger brother that was showing both concern and anger in his eyes, the twins just showed their signature smile and Fred just said, ``it's not a big deal little brother, we are fine. Look not hurt at all''. George continued with, ``yeah, we were just trying to scare you but didn't know you were a Seer.'' Looking at their smiling faces Ron's annoyance went away and he hurriedly changed the topic, ``So, why are you guys here and where's everyone else?'' although the twins could see their little brother's trick, they went along with the ruse and George replied with, `` Mum's at the counter paying for the books.'' Fred continued where his twin left off, ``we were sent to collect the prince and bring him back to his people.''

Any leftover annoyance at the twin's attempt to scare him was gone and Ron put the book in his hand away and went back with his brothers. In the sort period of around thirty minutes, Ron had managed to memorise around twenty books with titles like Fundamentals of Potion Making, Runes 101, Common Magical Plants, A book of Thousand Spells, etc. the last book was particularly hard to memorise as it not only had descriptions of the spells but also the pronunciations, the hand motions, the warning and other things as well. There were some very interesting spells in there that Ron was very excited to try out. Although there were books of much higher grade back home and contained extremely profound knowledge, he lacked the basics in any and all topics to be able to use the books at home. 

``That would be 30 Galleons Madam Weasley.'' Ron was shocked at the price of his brother's books. Not because it was expensive but because it was cheap, extremely cheap He had read somewhere in his previous life that the average cost of each years materials for Hogwarts was around 100 Galleons and 50 Galleons of that was just for books! While Molly was paying the shopkeeper, Ron's mind was full of thoughts like, `I can't believe anyone would actually chose to buy books from anywhere else but here. What's wrong with the wizard kind's brains?!' although Ron's thinking process was correct, he had forgotten than it wasn't just the wizards and witches that did this, it was the muggles who behaved this way as well. They all want to have the latest and the brand new. Although the shop's sign was simple and rustic, the Second Hand Bookstore had a much wider variety of books as alongside Hogwarts Books, people also sold their own books as well. In the original timeline, Harry would find a Potions book in Hogwarts that had notes and marks in it that helped him become a `genius' in potion making. It was the same concept but people always want to keep their `image'.

The rest of the trip only took around twenty minutes, they only had to get a Wand as Bill was going to `inherit' most of his equipment from his parents. Once again the thought of his family's financial situation brought down Ron's mood but not for long. He had already had some ideas prior to his visit to Diagon Alley but to put those ideas into practice, he still needed some fundamental knowledge and he had gained some of that knowledge today. `Three Years! no, two years max! I will make the Weasley name resound in the Wizarding world.' While the thought was grand and majestic, the person who had it was currently holding his mother's hand so that he wouldn't be lost in the crowd. ``Alright everyone, take a sip of the potion. You two! I don't care if you enjoy the feeling of nausea, take the potion.'' 

Molly was currently standing in front of a fireplace getting ready to use the Floo but as there were children with her, they had to take a special potion so that they didn't end up emptying their stomachs mid-travel or worse. As soon as the family got home, the twins took the bags from their mother and took out their most prized possession that they had gotten by annoying their mother to the utmost limit, `Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans'. ``Mum, what have you done?!'' everyone gulped at the sight of the twins holding the sweets and smiling like crazy.

Having been bullied almost his whole life, Ray's only solace had been his Mother and books. but one day, the bullies took things too far and he died. On his deathbed he had two wishes, for his Mother to be happy and for him to have the strength to be happy in his next life. somehow, both his wishes came true.

The automatic robots did the heavy lifting, carrying and setting materials at appropriate places and then human use tools to connect them. The day started with the automatic robots placing the appropriate steel poles onto the correct place for the workers to mend the poles into place. This cycle repeats for most of the day.
Prince Hue Chi had been working remotely for the last several days at the cruise ship. He got a lot of works done for not having to travel back and forth between the Royal Palace and Aires Royal Corporate Square. Long Kue had been busy preparing and coordinating the next business travel trip for the Royal Prince.
Hue Chi had sent Dao Txu to go on a few days errand run to meet up with another shadow guard currently away for a mission. Therefore, Dao Txu was not around to bother anyone while PengXu stayed behind to guard the Prince as usual.
The foundation frame will take about one week to finish, and that will be right before when Prince Hue Chi will leave for his trip.
Yu Sha has been avoiding night strolls to avoid meeting Hue Chi. She usually spent her time idling on her balcony if she could not sleep. The cycle repeats itself and before long, a week has gone by.
One morning, Prince Hue Chi asked Long Kue to email Jake and Su Na that he would go out to inspect the site on behalf of Ether the next day. He wanted to give them the one day notice to give everyone time to prepare themselves.
Later that afternoon, Dao Txu came back from his few days errand run for his Lord. When he arrived back at the cruise, he brought a bag full of books, looking merrily as ever after. The first thing he did was went to the Prince's suite. When he noticed that everyone was busy doing their own thing, with the Prince in his office, Long Kue sitting on the dining table working on his laptop, while Butler Zeu ironing the Prince's clothes. Dao Txu walked right over to the living room and sat the bag by the big comfy couch before sitting down.
Dao Txu then casually took out a book titled, "Dating 101 For Men" and pretended to read the book. After ten minutes, he set the book down on the small table on top of a couple of magazines, grabbed another book and headed for the balcony. He found himself a chair next to the table and started reading the book called, "Dos and Don'ts Guide to Romance."
About five minutes into the book, Dao Txu casually left the book on the balcony table, walked back inside by the couch, and grabbed another book. Once he had the book in his hand, he casually walked to the kitchen, opened the fridge, and took out some leftover food. He heated the leftover food and went to sit on the dining table to eat while reading the book, "How To Impress Your Woman." After ten minutes, he casually left the book on the dining table.
Long Kue glanced at Dao Txu, 'this guy here does not read and why is he reading today?' When he looked at the book title, he knew that this guy was up to no good again. How in the world does he have time and energy to come up with such things?
Dao Txu's next target was the office and bedroom, but that would be too obvious so he opted for the bathroom. He went back to the couch and grabbed another book from the bag before heading to the bathroom. Dao Txu went to sit on the toilet flipping a couple of page of the book titled, "How To Attract Women." After five minutes, he flushed the toilet and left the magazine on a towel shelf before walking out.
His lord sometimes sits on the dining table in the kitchen and or balcony while reading the news and sipping coffee every morning. The chance of his lord seeing the book on the dining table and balcony is higher than the living room or bathroom. But as long as he could pique his lord's interest into just glancing any of the books longer than two seconds, he would've won the battle already.
After hanging up the ironed clothes, Butler Zeu went to restock the towels in the bathroom and noticed the book title. He automatically knew what Dao Txu was up to. Since he felt the same way as Dao Txu, he allowed Dao Txu to litter the place with dating books. Hopefully, his prince would pick up some dating tactics.
Butler Zeu walked over to the prince and convinced him to have his meal out on the deck as it was not good to stay coop up in the suite day after day to which the Prince agreed. Butler Zeu then happily called the kitchen staff to coordinate dinner for the young men to eat dinner out on the deck.
The day ended and the construction crew wrapped up their work. Yu Sha and Su Na had reduced their working hours. Everyone usually went back to their rooms, showers and changed before coming out to have dinner. Sometimes, not everyone eat their dinner out in the deck but most people go out to the deck since the kitchen there always had ready to eat food around breakfast, lunch and dinner time.
PengXu surveyed the surrounding and there seemed to be no suspicious activities. If there was no suspicious activity or person, he can openly join the group for dinner up on the deck. Prince Hue Chi and his confidants made their way to the deck. When they arrived on the third floor of the deck, the server had just finished setting their foods on the table.
Everyone found a spot to sit on the table on the third floor. It usually was rare for them to dine on the same table together at the same time with their big Boss, the Prince. Dao Txu looked forward to this dinner the most, as he knew the daily routine of the construction crew. Most of the time, everyone came out to eat on the deck for its convenience.

Yu Sha was born prematurely and her heart wasn’t fully closed. The first several years of her life, were often spent in the hospital undergoing procedures. But she did not let her condition defined who she is. She worked hard and excelled in sports and PE class. 

Su Na’s mother had gone through a traumatic experience which caused her to be frequently hospitalized. As long as she could remember, she never had a father. It wasn’t until later she learned the ugly truth and make it her life long mission to build her own empire in order to crush the person who made her mother suffered. 

The hospital was where they met and became good friends. They attended the same classes and schools. Upon graduating early, they embarked on a journey to stardom to build Su Na’s empire. 


Hue Chi, Prince of Aires, had everything anyone could dream of but carried an illness to himself. The woman that haunted him in his sleep, who was she? How was she able to control his emotions, waking him up in the middle of the night, sometimes, in terror, in pain, and sometimes in happiness? The emotions she elicits locked his heart cold, unable to like any other woman, thus distancing himself from others. People are scared to approach him due to the distant and icy auras around him. 

Just as the universe planned it, Yu Sha and Su Na won their bid on a project in Aires, which will require them to live in Aires for at least half a year. As Prince of an entire continent, he felt unsettled of two young female prodigies. Do they come with hidden motives? Not sure if they have anything to do with the secret organization he has been after, he ordered them to fly into Aires for a meet and greet with the investors and other companies involved in the project. 

Unforeseen in his calculation, his eyes drifted towards her anytime she was nearby. He reasoned with himself that he just wanted to make sure of her status and purpose, but somewhere in his heart, he couldn’t gravitate away. The way she talked, her behaviors, her voice, and demeanor elicited the same emotions of the woman that haunted him in his dreams. 

Some may think destiny is cruel and some may think that destiny is kind for playing with people’s heart, as it seemed the world was not small enough to allow them to be lovers, but not wide enough so their path will never cross.

I jumped awake at the sound and said something quickly that I couldn't quite recall, but I think had something to do with fireplaces being dangerous in libraries.  Alexandre laughed quietly.  I felt like I was blushing, but can vampires even blush?  Mental note: ask Alexandre about that later.

"You are truly unusual."  Alexandre said with amusement. "What are you reading?"  He picked up the book from where it had fallen on the floor.

"Ah, it seems you and I have similar tastes."  He complimented me, his eyes gleaming.  Something about the look made my neck hairs stand up.  It was like watching a wolf stalk a rabbit.  I shivered and Alexandre's gaze shifted.

"Are you cold?"  He asked with concern.  "Come, follow me, I bought some new clothes for you, they're waiting in your room.  We can return whatever you don't like."

"Wait-how did you know my size?" I wanted to know and then with rising horror and humiliation I groaned.  The clothes I was currently wearing were not mine, and I was completely clean.  I felt the embarrassment climb as I realized I had been covered in my own blood so that must have taken some quite... intimate... washing.  All of my remaining blood should be in my face at this point, if I was still human that is.  Alexandre gave me the wolf look again and even though I didn't think it was possible, my humiliation doubled.  Could I just dig myself a grave and crawl in now please?

"Calm down.  I have been on this earth for a very long time.  I have seen lots of nudity.  You had blood and dirt all over you and I had to be sure there weren't any other wounds besides the IV.  You needed to be cleaned and your clothing changed.  I preserved your modesty as best as the situation allowed."  I groaned with embarrassment when he reached this part, feeling like my face should be even brighter red if it were capable.  For a brief moment the weird looked returned to Alexandre's eyes and I started to get the feeling he was enjoying taunting me.

"For practical purposes, I burnt your old clothes.  The last thing we need is some cop sniffing around because someone or something finds your old bloodied clothes in the garbage.  I would like to replace your clothing for you as an apology, since I had to destroy them.  Now, if you'll follow me..."  Alexandre continued.  I crossed my arms and put my head down so he could no longer read my expression and followed him back to the-my-room silently.

Alexandre's taste in clothing was just as eclectic as his books.  There was a wide range of clothing, from my own personal everyday style of just jeans and a T-shirt, to a couple of crazily fancy gowns and dresses that I didn't think I'd ever wear, but I was desperate to try on anyway.  I gasped as I read the label on one of the clothing items, and then looked through the rest with panic, realizing almost everything had high-end or designer names.

"I...really can't accept these.  They're far too pricey.  My clothes were just cheapo generic brands, and if you want to replace them that's fine really.  I mean, thank you for everything, but wow...  wow..."  My voice trailed off into a whisper by the end as I pulled a pair of designer shoes from a box.  My mouth fell open and Alexandre looked at me delightedly.

"You can and will accept.  You are my responsibility for the foreseeable future, at least until you adjust to your new life.  I have not had the opportunity to share with or spoil anyone in a very long time, and after what you've just been through, I declare these items a gift.  Non-returnable.  Unless they're the wrong size or not to your style or something of course."  Alexandre stipulated.

"But...the price!..."  I objected.  Alexandre waved a hand.

"Consider it advance pay then.  You will be my companion for an indeterminate period of time.  I am not easy to get along with and I have not had company in many years.  You will grow tired of me quickly I'm sure.  Consider this your incentive to stay.  Something like a bribe."  He laughed.  My mouth fell open to object again but Alexandre interrupted.

"Fine, consider it  my way to assuage my guilt."  He growled abruptly.

"Guilt?"  I asked with confusion.  Alexandre sighed quietly.

"I am waiting for your inevitable anger.  I infected you with a virus that has changed your life and very existence without your permission or knowledge.  You were too far gone to ask.  And one day, you will be angry at me for that, and push me away as you face down the inevitable years of your long life, and I will once again be...alone."  He said sadly.  I had a sneaking suspicion that I was being manipulated, but his words also rang of some truth.

"Listen, my life...wasn't easy... and it was very, VERY boring.  I had no reason to live, but I didn't really want to die either.  Then, before I could figure out what I even wanted to do with my life, some psychopath kidnaps me and murders me.  You saved me, and for the moment at least, I am very grateful."  I told him sincerely.  While speaking a sudden light bulb went off in my head.  That psychopath... the nurse...  Shelving the thought for later I continued in a mumble "Though I have to admit, I still feel like this whole thing isn't real."

"Don't make us go through all that again."  Alexandre's voice had a hint of warning in it.  Adopting one of his gestures, I waved him off.  He looked perturbed, then a flash of amusement stole across his face.

"When you are ready, please meet me downstairs."  Alexandre told me, leaving the room.

"Wait-how will I find you?"  I called after him, concerned.

"Just follow your nose."  He said as he walked away, and surprisingly, I understood every word.



Leaping down the stairs in my new jeans, shirt and sneakers, I followed the trace of Alexandre's scent in the air.  He smelled of old books and flowers.  Not completely an unpleasant smell.  It was really awesome that I could do this, but to be fair, I kind of felt like a dog with my nose in the air.  I ended up back in the library where a stack of books awaited me on the table by the fire.  Alexandre's voice floated down to me from above.

"I've set aside some vampire lore for you.  It will give you a good start."  I picked up the books and looked through the titles.

"Dracula?  Really?"  I asked under my breath with sarcasm.

"Yes, really."  Alexandre said directly behind me.  I jumped and ducked like someone had shot at me, holding up the book in front of me like it would protect me.

"Goddamn, ok, I get the Dracula bit now.  Sheesh."  I stood up and faced him again.

"You have good reflexes, but very poor spatial awareness."  Alexandre observed.

"Yeah, thanks.  The 'How to avoid being attacked by a vampire' classes were all full."  My voice dripped with sarcasm.  "I also missed 'Your life as a vampire 101 and 102'."  Alexandre's expression was a mixture of amusement and irritation.  I flinched, wondering if I had taken it a bit too far.  Alexandre suddenly looked confused, and cupped my face in his hand.

"As long as you obey me and do not go rogue, you will never have a reason to fear me, child."  He said softly.  It still sounded like an ultimatum to me, but the hand was gentle and his eyes warm.  He quickly let go.

"I will just have to adjust to having someone around again.  That and your rather...headstrong...and abrasive personality."  Alexandre told me.

"What you're saying is, I'm a smartass."  I replied.


"Yes."  He agreed simply, turning around.

"I bet you wouldn't say that if I was a guy."  I mumbled.

"I can still hear you, you know."  He said over his shoulder, leaving the library.  I grabbed the books and followed him.

"Are you regretting saving me yet?"  I flung at him.

"Yes."  He replied.

"Ok, I deserved that.  But Dracula?  For real?"  I called from behind him.

A vicious serial killer is on the loose, draining her victims with IV lines slowly to watch them die.
But one of her kills is saved by a vampire.
A vampire who is determined to seek revenge.
Will this turn into a dangerous game of cat and mouse?

Twists and turns, a manhunt (or woman hunt?), romance, police investigations, blood drinking, some mature content, some violence and a crazy amount of fantasy mixed up with some pseudo science.

Please be warned that this novel contains themes of past trauma and abuse as character backgrounds.

2 days later.
"You say you have entered a contract with a newly spawned dungeon and obtained its influence and cooperation. I see… that is unexpected, but fine. Your tributes shaw have to be adjusted and an envoy will be sent to speak personally to the dungeon, but besides that I imagine you already filled it in on our agreement. Besides the normal agreement it will also have to keep itself with a limited amount of monsters and provide samples of its available resources. In case of building a mine 20% shaw be given as tribute and in case of crop expansion the agriculture tax shaw be raised to 25%. Certain services will be available the next time a band comes around next month and an official will be sent with then to bind the contract. We are carrying some books for other dungeon tribes, so ask it if it intends to buy something, we can work on a monthly payment of parcels if it can't pay for the book right now to a certain extent." Explained the caravan leader while looking for a list of available books and resources.
"He asks for a table with the exchange rates for units of minerals and diamonds, if it wouldn't be too inconvenient. " Asked Tsu with a smile while doing her best to be polite as well while in front of the stern woman.
"One moment." Said the tall woman while flipping through many pages and taking three out after some time.
"Thank you." Said the hobgoblin while accepting the lists with exchange tables.
"You're welcome. If it decides to purchase something please go talk to the resource manager like normal, but be sure to return the papers before we depart or a fine will be issued."
"Understood."
"She's turned around, tell me what my diamonds are worth and what I can buy already!" excitedly said Aki, who had been acting like a brat ever since the elves didn't upfront attack.
'Shut up or you will wait for another half an hour!' Mentally said the stressed woman. Dealing with business was never her Forte, and taking care of a brat at the same time was wearing on her.
And so Aki shut the fuck up and waited his now illiterate ass out till the older woman read for him.
Turns out Aki actually had lots of money.
Even if each diamond he had was only worth two or three gold coins, he had tons of it. Turns out having three reinforced skeletons constantly mining for days on end was more than a good idea even if the diamond source started having an actual cost to maintain production in such scale.
After causing the price of diamonds to fall a bit, Aki had around a hundred five gold coins. Yes, one gold can sustain a family of three human peasants for a year. It is also used the same way on the underdark, yes. 
Though they did not pay him fully in gold, but books and materials as well, because the caravan itself couldn't simply give out all the gold it had in the middle of they travel and Aki was going to buy things anyway.
In the end, Aki got some poisons, some meat from monsters hunted on the way, some tools that were actually meant for the goblin tribes to buy and books. There were titles such as:
*Basic/intermediary metallurgy
*A guide to better smithing.
*101 concoctions all alchemists need to know.
*basic/intermediate/advanced magical theory
*The book of affinities ed:644
*How I raised my undead army.
*Summoning and you.
*Official dictionary Ed:102 Volume: from common to old elven.
*Official dictionary Ed:108 Volume: from common to 'Nastur'
The drown didn't actually have the advanced magical theory for sale, Aki bartered for it with a nerd gal that didn't seem to like being there.
It mostly went like this:
"You'd need to have something of equal value at the very least." She said and scoffed.
"What about this, play some dice with me (Tsu) and if I win he gets the book, if you win you get to ask for whatever you want from a dungeon. Anything." Said the woman as an interpret.
"I want to play with a witness to verify if he isn't cheating and if I win I get the dungeon core." Said the serious elf.
"I don't think that's…"

[Contract firmed]

And so they played dice with the witness of the caravan leader and Aki easily won.
Why you ask? He cheated, of course. He may be nuttier than squirrel heaven, but even he wouldn't do himself in such a way.
How you… k, gonna stop that. He used pure mana, something you get after taking all attributes out of the mana around, it is impossible to detect unless you are looking for it with a dragon, whose species are naturally more attuned to the world and can notice something strange, or with an artifact made exactly for that, but would you look at this? There's no such thing in the whole world! I wonder why…
Kidding, it's not plot armor, just plain difficult to know and use pure mana, never mind making something with it.
I mean, who is going to dive to the bottom of the ocean and kill the kraken emperor that ate the natural treasure capable of detecting natural mana, get the one stuck in a crack inside a lava flux of a volcano or steal the orb of the supreme lich?
Not someone unimportant enough to be there, that's for sure.
The best part? The girl didn't read the whole contract.
Having said too much during his guidiness streak after going out with his uncle and eating in the bill of another, the usual narrator has been suspended.
*****

After our main character listened to a Hobgoblin complaining to him about not being let in on what was happening, he rapidly proceeded to read the magic books together with her.
"Such flowery language…" She complained on the first book.
"You get used to it."
"What are…" She cursed on a complex part.
"Arteries and arterioles, blood vessels and their micro version that pass through all the body." He explained.
*****

"Well, that was enlightening on some parts I never found out alone. What about you?" Asked the excited hobgoblin who didn't actually think the book would be that useful after so many years of practice and lack of spending money for herself.
"So so. I can definitely use the magic system, but just this is definitely Inferior to my own version. When you are done absorbing everything we can keep going. It should be plenty more useful and by the end of it maybe I will use this system instead."
*****

"This… is unexpectedly easy when you explain it like that." Said the surprised woman.
"Yeah, the only advantage I got from autism is having to go through how other people think differently since young, so understanding riddles and strange ways of speaking is something I have great practice with." He nonchalantly told her, as if non shaken by the compliment.
"What's autism?"
"A birth defect/sickness that makes you think and use your brain in a practically random way. There's no cure. I still have it even without having a brain simply because I grew up with it and know no other way of naturally thinking and it takes constant effort to do otherwise. If you turn it around, it is exactly what allows me to use primal magic." He told her all in one non-physical breath.
"..." She didn't know what to say. He had a birth defect? Was that why he sounds so crazy and not at the same time?
"Why the pause? This illiterate man can't read for you, and without me you won't understand half what's written, so keep going." He hurried her.
"Uh? Ok."She said, throwing pity away and getting back to magic.
*****

"I don't think we're ready for the last book if this is what the intermediary difficulty is like." Said the woman nursing her migraine with some herbal tea.
"Tsu, I'm going to give you two hours and we're reading that summoning book. Please, this is really important to me." He said with a serious tone.
"That's fine by me, just tell me what it is when you're ready. Anyway I've been meaning to ask, but why do you only refer to me with my surname?" Said his friend.
"Because Gaarni isn't a good enough name for you." He said, immediately answering to that.
"Well, I don't know if I should take that as a compliment or an insult, so let me ask: what do you mean?" Said the confused woman.
"I don't like the ring it has and think you could change your name to something more related to your self." 
"And what do you think would fit me?" She asked with chuckle.
"Berala, Fraszid, Inoa, Grisphen…" He said and kept going for strange names.
"Really? No flower or jewel name?" She said while thinking.
"Well, you don't exactly need me telling you something fake to try and get your ego higher or lie my way into your pants. I did think that Bela would go well with you though." He said with no hint of shame in his voice.
"What do those mean anyway?"
"Berala is a goddess of battle that fought for her family, if I remember correctly, but I don't know if there is a meaning to the other three. Bela means beauty by the way, as in 'she is a beauty'."
"I like the last one. If you dislike my name so much, than use it instead. Not exactly fair to be the only being called by a nickname though." She cutely said.
"Aki is already my pet name, but if you really want you can call me something… Qiuji, it's another simplification that also means autumn." He said after some thought.
"I didn't know that was your pet name or what it ment, but thanks for telling this old… Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!" She tried to say as she suddenly fell on her stomach and said cutely, but a lot of ice suddenly appeared in her back. "What's that for?!" She complained as Aki killed the mood.
"So you stop insulting your image! Even if you are wise, there's no reason to be so conscious of your age, you're no invalid!" He complained, clearly irritated.
"That's not how it works idiot!"
"Of course it is! I'd bet there are others willing to see you as a beauty, isn't it just childish to disconsider yourself? Is it so strange to call a beauty a beauty?"
"Pot, Kettle! Aren't you doing the same thing with your chances to get laid?"
"I don't know, ask the mature and funny woman who I have a crush on! She's so beautiful you will understand the moment you can really see her!
"Aren't you the all knowing kid? Just show it to me then!"
"I might as well! Aren't you the hag who knows nothing? Just sit and enjoy the show then!" He said and the entrance to her home closed with an earthen wall, while 'Bella' herself had a chair grow from the ground below her. "I will use mind magic and we will talk face to face. You agree to not resist?" He explained with a calm voice still containing a hint of agitation.
"Use it already!" Said the agitated woman who had the scars of her heart played with in the wrong way.
He did and she blacked out.

Did Aki think he would be turned into a dungeon in another world just because he caught a shiny stone falling from the pocket of a random stranger? Yes. He could not expect it to actually happen though. 
Well, at least now he didn't have to go through with his appointments with his phono, shrink, and the last year of high-school. 
This world is filled with random things, people, cultures, religions, cuties and more, certainly he will find a way to live a good life.
*****
This Aki here is something society would classify as highly functional sociopath, and he is set for a, relatively,  real and cruel world where his craziness, personality and powers will have strange interactions on some occasions. Is it a bit of a pleasure write? Which novel isn't at this point? Just read, laugh and critique.

[Issei's POV]
"Please go out with me" said Yuma.

I Hyoudou Issei have gotten my first girlfriend, Yuma. I was so happy i bragged about it to my friends Matsuda and Motohama and even told my entire class. SInce this was our first date i stayed awake the entire night planning the perfect date. At the end of the day i brought her to a park people rarely visited though i didn't act like a pervert at all.

Yuma-chan had let go of my hand and stood near the fountain behind her.
"It sure was fun today"
She smiled with fountain behind her and the sun setting creating one of the most beautiful scenes ever. 
"Hey, Ise-Kun."
"What is it Yuma-Chan?" I asked
"There is something I want to do to celebrate our first date. Can you listen to my wish?"
"W-What is the wish you want?"
"Will You Die for me?" She cheerfully said.
"Eh... Sorry but can you repeat that again? I think I misheard.
"Will you die for me?"

Flap

Black Wings sprouted from her back as they began to flap. Black feather fell around me my feet.

"It was fun. The short time I spent with you. It was like playing house with a child."

A spear of light formed and just as she was about to throw it a flash of light engulf the area. I would never forget what i saw next.

We both turned around only to see a blur heading towards Yuma. The blur stopped in front of her and a person was there. A man with blonde hair and green eyes wearing bulky armor, at his waist were four pieces of blue cloth. His arms stretched up holding a weapon concealed by wind as he moved down striking Yuma only for her to barely react and dodge with a shallow gash across her chest,

I knew who the person that saved me was as i had seen him at school before. Yuma created several spears of light luanching them foward at Arthur only for them to dissipate. Before i could yell for him not to kill yuma he had disappeared from his spot and appeared before yuma. He punched her in the stomach sending her flying as she hit some trees. She looked like she got knocked unconscious.

Arthur turned to me and asked " Are you alright ?"

"Y-Yes, But yuma is she..."

[Arthur's POV]

I'm not sure what had happened but it was like something took control of me. I had rushed forward striking my enemy but after that i regained control. The girl had sent several spears of light towards me but i didn't feel fear as if i knew they couldn't harm me. Just before they landed on me they just dissipated. I had leaped forward punching the girlin the stomach knocking her unconscious as she hit some trees.

I turned around and asked issei if he was alright. He responded with a 'Yes' but had also asked if the girl was alright. 

"She is fine, only injured and unconscious. I will take her for in-" I stopped and leap forward towards issei and prevented his death as the spears hit me dissipating again. I looked up and saw a middle aged man surveying the area.

"Tch, so she failed. Can't believe she got defeated and by a human no less. However I'll admit your strong even if i find it hard to believe. You seem to have something protecting you, something that destroys our spears of light. No wonder she lost." He spoke.  

He rushes foward with a sword of light constantly pumping mana into it. I leap forward clashing blades with him. He manages to scratch me a few times however I get to cut his left arm off. He backs and teleports away taking the girl with him.
