2 year later

 "Shhhh Nikki sleeps little princess," I bounce my two-year-old mate on my hip and try to get her to calm down, but she didn't have a nap today and so she's fussy, and I have a meeting in 5 minutes.
"Cool, my tummy hurts," Nikki whines, her tears falling onto my neck.
"Why does your tummy hurt princess?"
"I eat a pear," she tells me

"YOU WHAT?!" I yell,

"Who let you eat a marker?"
She shakes in my arms, scared by my outburst, "Zane." She says, meaning my beta, Zane, who I trusted to watch her while I showered.
Zane. Living Room. NOW!.

I mind-link Zane as I look around in Nikki's pen for the one she ate. Finding a purple one with the tip bit off.
Nikki ate a red pen and now her stomach hurts. What should I do?

"Yes, Alpha Cole?" Zane asks, coming into the living room and knowing by my tone in the mind-link to call me Alpha.

"You let Nikki eat a Pen!?" I scream at him.
"NO! She ate it when I looked away to mind-link Emma," he said to me. Emma is his mate.

"Oh, I'm sorry baby Nikki. And I'm sorry Alpha, I swear it was an accident," Zane says.
"I don't care! My mate's in pain and it's your fault! You were watching her!"
Give her a bottle of ice water and she should be fine.
The pack doctor's mind links me back.
" I'm sorry Alpha!"
"Just get out of my face, you're banned from watching Nikki ever again," I sigh and bounce Nikki in my arms as she whimpers.
Zane sadly walks away.
"Come on princess Nikki, let's get you an ice water bottle." I walk to the kitchen and prepare an ice water bottle for her. After that, I mind Link Trevor and give him Nikki to look after her and get her ready for the annual meeting while I get ready my self.

It only takes an hour for us to reach there. I get out of my car with Nikki in my arms and goes to the Place where the council annual meeting was held every year.

" Alpha Cole? You didn't tell us you had a child, you didn't tell us you even had a mate!" Alpha John exclaims.
"I don't have a child. This is Nikki, she's my mate. That's why I called this meeting," I clarify.
"Your mates a child!" He says," That's wrong! And unnatural! She's a baby!"

"YOU DON'T THINK I KNOW THAT! Most wolfs don't find their mates till they're both adults, but it's not unheard of! I know Nikki just a baby, our relationship is strictly that of a father and daughter. I care for her, but not in a perverted way!"
"Cone," Nikki whines, struggling to get into a sitting position

I sit here on my hip, she rubs her eyes and looks around, "hi! I Wala I two!" She announces, ever the friendly baby.
A few people wave at her and all the Alpha's Luna's coo at her.
"ConeI needs the potty," she says.

" Okay princess, James, take her," I hand her off to Trevor.

" Yes Alpha," he addresses me formally in the company of other Alphas, he takes Nikki into his arms and she giggles happily to him and they walk out together.
"Cole, you have to see the downside to this. You'll have to wait till she's at least 16 the mark her, there's a huge age gap! Not only that she is human too," Alpha Mike said making a disgusting face when he said the word human.

"Human or wolf or another spice it's doesn't matter to me. It doesn't even the age gap between us. SHE IS MY MATE AND I WILL ALWAYS LOVE HER NO MATTER WHAT!! Now that is can we know to discuss the problem for which we are gathered here?

" I ask them getting annoyed with all this. I mind link Trevor and order him to wait for me in a waiting room until the meeting was over. The meeting was just as boring as usual nothing new was there just the same problem of Rogue breaking through the pack's territories and all.

After meeting I take Nikki to a park as I promised to do if she behaves like a good girl. After that we go home, eat our dinner and goes to sleep.

♫Hold up, nobody loves you like I do, slow down, nobody love you like I do♫
A quaint sound rang through the dormitory hall, disappearing into the cubicle she shared with her recently earned nemesis. The music abruptly stopped and a curt hello was quipped before the music continued, taking an almost seductive tone. Her roommate ignored the greeting, got in bed and went to sleep or rather pretended to sleep. The year was turning out to be a nightmare. Nasike sunk into restless sleep after endlessly convincing herself that the school year only had 7 months remaining if the holidays were deducted. 
The sounds of metal hitting metal, keys jingling, and wood and metal falling on and being dragged on the floor woke Nasike up. The peace broken, she incredulously stared at the terrible terrorist ahead of her. 
'What are we, terrible three? Must have skipped a stage or something', Nasike quipped after being woken by the incessant noise. After the spectacle at her home, she decided to cut her losses and speak her mind. In any case, what could be the worst that could happen? Well, except a hurtful response that by now did not hurt as much; especially coming from the person who had antagonized her for no good reason.
'No, just 17 and alive, wake up already unless you want to be a failure', Khalayi responded banging the door and heading out. Her victim had gained some courage; it didn't mean she would let her off if the opportunity arose. She ensured Nasike could not avoid her at any costs. The pranks ceased. It was no fun playing with someone who was guarded against her anyway. 
The morning run rejuvenated her, it was her time to think through and may be, just may be find another gem to play; a dismissive introvert with enough courage to retaliate and enough patience to not snap easily. The breakdown is always epic. She smiled, finishing up her tenth lap with warm ups. Her target rather targets were set once she walked past a wall sheltered by brambles. Oh well, they do not meet her criteria but they would do. She silently walked around the bramble to a more visible part of the wall decorated by a couple on a not so welcoming rendezvous. 
'That is lots of saliva going about. Not good looking, old, 15 year age gap, minor, indecent assault, if already at 2nd base-defilement, irresponsible adult, we are looking at crashed career and minimum 15 years in prison or life if you land in a Catherine Mackinnon adhering judge. We already know your interest mwalimu (teacher)', Khalayi rambled as she casually leaned on the wall crossing her arms over her chest.
'What is in it for you Christy?' she raised her eyebrows curiously at the young girl who had since distanced herself from the teacher.
'Consent or not, the difference is the same, it does not excuse you sir. Christy's barely 16 and we both know that', her voice transitioned from the casual drawl to a hardened inquisitive almost accusatory tone. It could be her hatred for adults who have the advantage of age and experience and the belief that kids should just grow as kids and be clumsy as kids. No matter how informed they were. Or maybe it was the belief that adults ought to apply more sound reason when making decisions that would involve any person below the age of 18.
'You can choose to stay or come with me Christy but I am not letting either of you off. Especially you, Sir', she stated as she strode past the tongue tied duo. After strolling for a while, she turned, smiled and shouted
'Christy, I can't carry the flask of water from the kitchen, my arms are tired. You know my room'. 
She strode away leaving the duo second guessing her intention. Christy snapped out of her shock and begun running after her.

Dull, boring, routine do-gooder. 
'No, am not talking dirty with you now because am in the office and i look innocent and everyone thinks am a good person'
Reincarnated in her doppelganger's 19 year old body, 
'it is about time to be a bad girl, unapologetically evil, basely iniquitous'
She smiled innocently, her eyes holding an evil glint.

The characters might irk you. They have no apologies for who they are...

Just as coach Xu had said, the next day a leader from the Provincial Sport Team spoke to Dai Li and asked if he would like to be a shot put coach for the youth team. Because Li knew it was a good job, he agreed without hesitation. The following day, after Li went through relocation procedures, he reported directly to the Youth Sport Team.
The Provincial Youth Sport Team was regarded as a reserve team for the Provincial Sport Team. Outstanding athletes on the youth team would be sent to the Provincial Sport Team for further cultivation. The athletes ranged anywhere from 16 to 18. People who were younger than 16 belonged to the junior team, while people older than 18 left the youth team. If one didn’t get selected after the age of 18, it indicated that the individual wasn’t capable of being a good athlete. The best job the person could get was killing time on a city sports team.
Due to the age limitation, the youth team had a smaller scale than the Provincial Sport Team. A lot of team members came and left. Every year the sports school and city sports teams would recommend some good performers to the Provincial Youth Team. Those who had potential would be selected to the sports team within months. Others who knew that they wouldn’t have a bright future usually gave up early.
"Agent Chief Coach of the Hanbei Youth Sport Team Shot Put Program." Dai Li read the title of his new position on the relocation document.
"Agent" meant that he was not formally employed, but it would not affect his power. Such a phenomenon was common among these systems, such as an agent mayor, agent director, agent dean, etc. Even though they had the title of "agent," they would be a formal employee sooner or later. Nobody would treat them as actual "agents."
The chief coach of the youth team was named Bin Lu. He was forty-years-old and looked capable. Because there were only a few coaches on the team, Lu was also in charge of the hurdle team.
Once Dai Li came, coach Lu showed Li around the facility so he could get familiar with the new environment and meet his new colleagues. Then they went to the training field used for throwing events. There were four field events: shot put, discus, javelin, and hammer throw. Shot put occupied the least amount of the field.
For the javelin and hammer throw, professional athletes could easily throw over sixty meters. The top world athletes could throw more that seventy meters; for discus, ordinary athletes could do forty to fifty meters. But for shot put, it should be outstanding if one threw over sixteen meters.
...
"We have five members left on the shot put team. Here is the list." Coach Lu handed a piece of paper to Li.
"Only five? How could that be?" Li was confused. Being a shot-putter wasn’t very difficult. The sport didn’t have high requirements. In addition, this was a provincial training team. How was it possible that they only had five members? Even a high school shot put team had more people than this.
Coach Lu smiled embarrassedly. "The Provincial Sport Team selected some high-flyers right before the new year. A new round of athlete selection hasn’t begun yet, so we only have five people left on the team."
"But isn’t this team too small? Only five people? I used to hold a training class for special talent students and even I had eight students." Li’s words conveyed a sense of complaint.
Lu looked indifferent. He explained, "The annual selection means a lot to these teenagers, especially those who have reached the age of eighteen. If they can’t be selected by the Provincial Sport Team, they are still too old to stay on our team any longer. They have no choice but to leave. As for newcomers, who are middle school students, they won’t register until they graduate in July. Due to these reasons, every year from the Spring Festival to June, we have a period of shortage." Coach Lu sighed pitifully. "Moreover, a large number of athletes will give up midway."
"Why?" asked Li.
"For all kinds of reasons. Some give up due to family pressure. Their parents don’t support their aspirations to be athletes, so they are forced to return to school. Some can’t bear the tough training. Some are used to receiving amateur training, so now when they have professional training it is much harder than what they are accustomed to. They can’t stand it, so they quit. Others think that they won’t perform well, and would rather quit early to save time and effort." Lu thought for a second then continued, "And some athletes leave for psychological reasons."
"What kind of psychological factors?" Li was curious.
Lu explained, "People who are selected for our youth team are talented teenagers. They are the top athletes in their counties, and even at the top level of their city sports teams usually. But here on the provincial team, we have so many amazing athletes that these "top athletes" are far from good. Some teenagers who once won championships in city competitions can’t even find a place at the medium level. Due to this huge gap, many good athletes give up."
"Right, being an athlete is not an easy job. I feel lucky to still have five people after hearing your explanation," Li laughed.
"Don’t be too optimistic. The five you have are ordinary students. They don’t have special talent, nor do they work hard. They just kill time. I guess the reason why they haven’t left yet is because they haven’t found anything else to do yet." Lu patted Li’s shoulder and said, "All in all, during this period of time your main task is to adjust yourself to the new environment. Don’t think too much about their performance. In the next half of the year, when we have newcomers, then it will be time to work seriously."
...
"Let’s call roll first!" Li clapped his hands. The five athletes stood in a line.
"Zhanshan Zhao, Lei Qin, Feng Luo, Jiankang Chen, Bin Wang."
The five athletes answered "here" one by one. Li got to know all of them. While while doing roll call, Li also detected them. The results upset Li. Among the five students, Jiankang Chen had the best talent, a Level C, while the others only had a C-. None of their ability points were above 100.
In shot put events, young athletes weigh less, which is a disadvantage. But even so, isn’t the ability too low? Li couldn’t help but shake his head.


How could a poor graduate student without any background or connections become successful? With a coaching system? An upgrade? This is not a computer game, but real life we’re talking about!
 
This will be a fantasy based on reality. Dai Li will fight back against all those who would mock and humiliate him with his astonishing and awe-inspiring training skills. From a nobody he’ll try to become the most illustrious coach in the sports world, so join him in proving to everyone who’s the real master here!

Zhang Zhen gulped as he sat back down in his seat, distressed. He didn't dare look at how frosty old lady Yuhuang's countenance may have become.

At this moment, Zhou Xiaoling smiled. She wasn't smiling at Zhang Zhen, but at Lin Ming. The challenge in this smile was very obvious.

"I was too careless, far too careless, I actually looked down on such a little girl." Zhang Zhen was ashamed. He was originally a very arrogant individual. Losing was one thing, but the one he lost to was not only a year younger than him, but also a woman.

"My fire controlling technique isn't good enough. If we compared martial arts, I might not lose to her." As Zhang Zhen thought back, he created another flimsy excuse in order to save whatever face he had left.

Lin Ming smiled, not bursting his bubble. After all, the reason Zhang Zhen was in such dire straits was because of him. This Thundercrest Sect girl was obviously aiming at him. Without a doubt, she was someone who was at the rank of a direct disciple. Although she was young, in another two to three years, Zhou Xiaoling would most likely become someone who was equal to the Sunfire Princess or the Thunderclap. Zhang Zhen naturally wasn't her match.

Until now, there had been a total of seven matches. Divine Phoenix Island had lost four and won three. Although they were falling a bit behind, Divine Phoenix Island was still one against six. To have this sort of result was already very good. Of the eight sects that had come, the South Horizon Region's Supreme Mystery Temple and Dire Space Sect hadn't taken action. They probably cared about maintaining their friendship because they shared the same region, and didn't try to challenge Divine Phoenix Island. If the South Sea Demon Region was ever restored to the same grandiosity to the degree of Silent Demon Emperor City, then their days wouldn't be much better. For them, it was better to yield to Divine Phoenix Island and accept their bottom line offer.

This time, at the seat of honor, old lady Yuhuang's expression wasn't the least bit relieved or happy. She was well aware that no matter how pleasant or humble she became, it was not possible to offset the greediness of the Five Element Region sects. Those old bags wouldn't ever accept any concessions.

So it was better to just meet them head-on. In the world of martial artists, there was a prevailing rule – if one couldn't convince them, then defeat them. Strength was the best bargaining chip. If Divine Phoenix Island could win a total victory at this comparison of skills, then the other parties would obviously be at a disadvantage at the negotiating table. This invisible momentum was greatly beneficial to any kind of diplomacy.

But as old lady Yuhuang thought of Mu Dingshan and Mu Xiaoqing's strength, she was ultimately a bit doubtful. Mu Dingshan and Mu Xiaoling were strong; they would definitely have a chance of defeating any of the chief disciples from the Five Element Region's sects. But, to have the two of them fight continuous opponents would put an extreme pressure on them, and would be very hard for them to do.

Of the seven great sects from the Five Element Region, the Verdant Wood Sect didn't come to the birthday celebrations because of faults within their younger generation. As for the South Horizon Region's Supreme Mystery Temple and Dire Space Sect, they wouldn't take action against them. Thus, Mu Dingshan and Mu Xiaoqing were two against six!

Besides Mu Dingshan and Mu Xiaoqing, there was also Lin Ming. Yu'er had strongly recommended him based on his strength, so he should be able to show some skills. But, Lin Ming was inevitably too young, and his ability was insufficient for the challenges ahead. He was also a bit young at 16 or 17 years of age. To have him share the burden of Mu Dingshan and Mu Xiaoqing would be very difficult for him.

...

After Zhou Xiaoling left the stage, Zhan Yunjian sighed. These years, the Thundercrest Sect was becoming increasingly fierce. In a few years, even he might not be able to look down on her.

The Verdant Wood Sect had already produced two continual generations of waste. As for the Thunderclap Sect, they produced two top second rank talents in the Thunderclap and Zhou Xiaoling. The balance of the Five Element Region's seven great sects was becoming increasingly  unstable.

As Zhan Yunjian was thinking, he noticed that Divine Phoenix Island's Yan Fuhong was winking at him from afar, indicating for him to make his move.

Zhan Yunjian shook his head, sighing. This Yan Fuhong's jealousy and pride was too heavy on his soul. Such a person would never have great achievements.

As he thought about it, he turned to the junior-apprentice brother near him and said, "Junhui, go and challenge Lin Ming."

"Hehe, you finally want me to make a move?" The youth named Ma Junhui twisted his neck, looking at Lin Ming like a wolf spotting his prey, a rabid excitement dawning in his eyes.

If he managed to injure Lin Ming so that he needed a day to recover in bed, he would be given five medium-grade true essence stones. If he injured Lin Ming so that he needed 20 days, then he would receive 100 medium-grade true essence stones.

If he could damage Lin Ming's meridians and make him need months to recover and delay his cultivation, he would receive 300 medium-grade true essence stones. This amount of true essence stones was equal to the resources he received in an entire year.

As for how to do so in a comparison of skills, Ma Junhui didn't take it too seriously. In a battle between juniors, often one would become too angry and injure the other. If he used his full strength, how could Lin Ming not be injured?

Besides, there was a vast murderous intent that flooded the entire stage. The top characters of both sides were anxious to massacre the other party. As long as he didn't kill anyone, then a bit of blood wasn't anything at all!

"Will that Yan fellow keep his promise?" Ma Junhui asked as he cracked his knuckles.

"He will. He's already given me 50 medium-grade true essence stones as a deposit."

"Hehe, that's good. I just happen to be lacking true essence stones for practice, and now someone's just delivered them to me." Ma Junhui thrillingly said as he licked his lips.

"Don't underestimate him, that boy isn't simple. For him to reach the late Pulse Condensation period at 16 is already very good. Not only that, but Mu Qianyu thinks highly of his strength. I fear his talent is probably on the same level as someone like the Sunfire Princess, if not more so." Zhan Yunjian warned.

"Who cares how good his talent is. How can a late Pulse Condensation boy challenge my half-step Houtian cultivation? This boy has potential, however, he's just too young and naïve." Ma Junhui said as he leapt up. With the assistance of his wind-attribute true essence, he flashed onto the stage.

"Storm Valley's Ma Junhui, 18 years old. I challenge all heroes present!" Ma Junhui said as he cupped his fists across his chest.

"Ma Junhui, he came up so quickly. Before, I thought that it would be someone like Zhou Xiaoling coming on stage, but it seems that the Storm Valley core disciple Ma Junhui wants to challenge someone. I remember he's at the upper middle ranks of the core disciples." The disciples of the Five Element Region's seven great sects had a good understanding of each other. The name Ma Junhui was known by many people.

"Mm. It's mostly been the lower or middle rank core disciples going on stage. Now that Ma Junhui has gone onstage, the level of the matches has increased yet again. It might difficult for us to find an opportunity to display our skills. I wonder who made Ma Junhui so anxious that he jumped up so early to challenge them."

As the disciples of the Five Element Region murmured to themselves, Ma Junhui swept his gaze past the Divine Phoenix Island disciples. He pointed to Lin Ming and said, "You're the one called Lin Ming right? Do you dare to face me?"

"What?" Zhang Zhen was the first to be shocked. This kid was too f*cking shameless, didn't he care about face at all? An 18 year old against a 16 year old, and he actually had the gall to open that big mouth of his?

A two year gap didn't seem like much, but the truth was to those top talented youths, every day was extremely precious.

Two years was enough to accomplish many things. For instance, Mu Qianyu had reached Pulse Condensation at 15, and that was considered a Saint level talent. However, if she was late by two years and reached Pulse Condensation at 17, then she wouldn't be considered much. That was something that any casual student of the Seven Profound Valleys could accomplish. But when Mu Qianyu was 16 years old, she had already stepped into the Houtian realm.

If Lin Ming was given another two years, breaking through to the Houtian realm would be simple; he might even be able to defeat a Xiantian master. That was not a level that someone like Ma Junhui could compare with.

Therefore, in a comparison of skills, it was always between individuals that were similar in age. Even if there was a one year difference, it would usually be the junior challenging the senior. If the tables were reversed, then this despicable action was really looked down on by others.

"Lin Ming, there's no need to go up. This little punk probably wants to harm you." Zhang Zhen could feel a dark intent coming from Ma Junhui.

Old lady Yuhuang was silent. She turned to glance and Mu Qianyu and saw Mu Qianyu returning a little nod of the head to her, also not speaking.

"Since this is a boy that Yu'er thinks so highly of, if he can't even overcome a mere two year gap, he's no better than Xiaoqing or Dingshan. This old woman wants to see just what sort of surprises you have in store for me."

Ma Junhui ignored everyone around him that was glaring at him with disgust. He pointed to Lin Ming as before and shouted, "Boy, do you dare?"

Lin Ming rose up. "I didn't think that my name would actually reach the Five Element Region; it is truly the highest of honors. Since you challenge me, then I naturally must accompany you."

As Lin Ming spoke, he directly walked over to the square, ignoring Zhang Zhen's frantic winking.

"So he's Lin Ming."

"Mm. He also live at Parasol Tree Pavilion. This is my first time seeing him. I heard that he is 16 years old, and that Her Highness Qianyu thinks very highly of him."

"Then we'll see just how strong he is. If he can deal with that Ma Junhui then he has some skill, but it isn't a shame if he loses either."

Lin Ming was only known to a few people from the Five Element Region, but he was already famous throughout the entire Divine Phoenix Island. He was a talent that Mu Qianyu valued, and one that she had personally recruited from the Seven Profound Valleys. As soon as he entered the sect, he was admitted to the Parasol Tree Pavilion. All of this was enough to make him the focus of the disciples from Divine Phoenix Island.

"Hehe, you think I heard your name in the Five Element Regions because of some glorious deed you accomplished? I only heard that you betrayed your sect and whored yourself out to Divine Phoenix Island to become a core disciple. Am I right?"

Ma Junhui sneered, his words extremely poisonous and insidious. He was intentionally trying to provoke Lin Ming, so that it would be a completely justifiable action to wound him to the point that he would need to recuperate in bed.

"Insolence!"

Ma Junhui's voice had just fallen when he heard a voice like a thunderclap explode in his ears. He instantly turned white, forced back several steps.

"Ignorant boy, you dare to spread such preposterous talk!?" Old lady Yuhuang slapped her right hand against her chair, and a terrifying surge of energy flooded out towards Ma Junhui. Ma Junhui only felt his entire body go ice-cold, as if he were a tiny boat about to be overturned in a endlessly churning ocean.

Ma Junhui was terrified. He didn't think that with just a few words, Mu Yuhuang would not care about her status as a Revolving Core master and move against a junior.

But at this moment, a surge of wind rolled forwards, protecting Ma Junhui's body, sweeping away that terrifying tide of energy. A black-clothed old man stood up and said, "High Master Yuhuang, please calm down. Junhui, what sort of utter nonsense are you speaking of! Hurry up and apologize!"

Ma Junhui let out a breath of relief as the dangerous moment passed. This old woman was an utterly crazy old bag. He had just mocked Lin Ming, but hadn't cursed her at all. How many days had Lin Ming been in the sect and how many times had he seen old lady Yuhuang, for her to move against him like this?

The truth was that Ma Junhui was too negligent. When he said that Lin Ming had whored himself out, that was no different than slandering Mu Qianyu's crystal clear reputation. Mu Qianyu was Mu Yuhuang's most beloved disciple; how could she tolerate someone disparaging her?

Lin Ming glanced at Mu Qianyu whose expression wasn't looking too good, and his eyes suddenly fell to sub-zero temperatures. He turned to Ma Junhui, his voice desolate and somber as he said, "You want to intentionally provoke me into a rage so that I'll participate in some little deathmatch with you? Well, then I must congratulate you. You have succeeded."

In the Realm of the Gods, countless legends fought over a mysterious cube. After the battle it disappeared into the void. Lin Ming stumbles upon this mystery object and begins his journey to become a hero of the land.

The morning of the next day took the lead in the finals of the track event and the long-distance event. The men 's 100m final was scheduled for the afternoon.

There are no other dark horses in this competition except Zhang Guan, and there are some old faces in the finals.  At this stage, all the top athletes in the men's 100m event are still on the field, and it is also a contest between the highest level in the country.

Zhang Guan's sudden rise as the dark horse naturally became the focus of everyone's attention. Almost everyone on the scene knew that this young man had a strange speed, but when he started, it was very bad.  Even more, well-informed people have asked for information. Zhang Guan, an athlete discovered by Chen Lao in the national second-level athlete test, only had two months of regular training.

Everyone knows that Zhang Guan is a newcomer to track and field, but no one regards him as a weak man. Zhang Guan won the right to participate in the Olympics yesterday, although the top domestic athletes will play better than the Olympic B standard.

There are too many, but there are too many factors in the field of sports. If no one can reach the Olympic B standard in the next year, the crown will become the only contestant in the 100-meter event of the next Olympics.

The level of domestic sprinting is not high enough to compete for international rankings, so it is undoubtedly the biggest dream of domestic sprinters to participate in the Olympic Games.

On the track, athletes are preparing.  Shen Feng leaned close to Chen Jian and said, "That newcomer Zhang Guan can be fast enough. I think if he can react faster at the start, he will definitely be faster than you."

Chen Jian smiled: "I heard our team's old Yin (Yin Hanzhao) talk about it, and I watched your game yesterday. The kid ran fast enough, and he can definitely surpass me in two years, but now right now there is no chance!"

Chen Jian is currently the first person in the country, and this year is his best year. Running in the training within 10 seconds is commonplace for him, and the results of the regular competition  It's all-around 10.3 seconds.  Based on the current level and state of Chen Jian, his real game results should be between 10.20 seconds and 10.25 seconds. So in the face of Zhang Guan who ran 10.28 seconds in the semifinals, Chen Jian was still confident that he could win. 

And yesterday, Zhang Guan reached the Olympic B standard, which deeply stimulated Chen Jian. Chen Jian 's goal has always been to participate in the Athens Olympics next year, so Chen Jian has been working hard to adjust his status for the past six months.  I was preparing to achieve the Olympic standard achievements, but I didn't expect to be one step ahead of Zhang Guan, so today Chen Jian is holding back and wants to compete with Zhang Guan.

At the same time, Zhang Guan's mind is full of things to complete the task of breaking the national record.

It is now in the finals. If Zhang Guan cannot break the national record, he will not know when he will participate in the official competition next time. For the task of "breaking the national record", Zhang Guan also decided to fight a handful.

"The key is to start, as long as you can start 0.12 seconds faster, you can break the national record." Zhang Guan is now calculating, while constantly reminding himself to concentrate.  

The eight athletes of the finals stepped on the starting blocks with both feet on the starting blocks and were ready to start. The starter also shouted instructions to prepare for the start and raised the starting gun.

"BLAM!" At the same time that the clear sound of the starting gun sounded, the athletes rushed out of the starting line.

Zhang Guan is in a much better state today than he was yesterday. He can feel that his starting reaction time must be within 0.3 seconds, which is considered to be a good starting reaction.

It is a pity that his start is still the slowest. Presumably, other athletes' starting reaction time within 0.15 seconds, Zhang Guan obviously lags far behind, exceeding the 0.1-second gap, even the naked eye can clearly distinguish.

"The starting reaction is faster than yesterday! There is progress than yesterday." Yu Gui from the stands stretched his eyebrows.

Zhang Guan performed poorly in the starting reaction time, which is also expected by everyone. All the athletes and coaches present knew that Zhang Guan 's really terrible thing was his speed.  One person's wonderful performance is a bloody debt that will excite all spectators.

As everyone expected, after Zhang Guan started, a good show of transcendence was staged again. The players who fell behind the last few had no strength to fight back in front of Zhang Guan. The speed of surpassing and being surpassed was not at the same level.  In the past, they could only watch themselves being surpassed by Zhang Guan, but they were helpless.

In front, Chen Jian and Shen Bao are in the leading position. They are almost going hand in hand. It is difficult to tell who is ahead and who is behind at least visually.

However, Chen Jian was already impressed by the brutality at this time.  The violent first 50 meters are world-class. He thinks that in the first half of the 100-meter project, no one will be faster than himself.  According to the previous game experience with Chen Jian, Shen Lu always led in the first half and was only caught up by Chen Jian in the second half.

But this time, Chen Jian's speed in the first half turned out to be comparable to that of indifference.  And this also shows that in the second half, Chen Jian will definitely surpass the indifference

"Well, you Chen Jian, this time has been hiding strength! Waiting for my training to be overweight, or even the second position can not be guaranteed!" Shen Bao thought.  

Halfway through the match, Chen Jian and the indifference had clearly opened the distance, and it was at this time that Zhang Guan had approached the indifference.

"How can I forget that Zhang Guan is a rising star? It seems that the second is already unsustainable." Shen Bao felt a little regret but then found that Zhang Guan had caught up with himself.

"Remember that Zhang Guan didn't catch up with me so fast yesterday, this kid is really one day, and the potential is unlimited! We, a generation, may have to withdraw from this stage slowly." Shen Bao watched Zhang Guan beyond his heart but suddenly  There is inexplicable grief.

Today's Zhang Guan's starting reaction time is 0.1 seconds faster than yesterday. In the 100-meter project, 0.1 seconds is undoubtedly a huge gap, especially the more the second half of the game, the more obvious the manifestation of 0.1 seconds, if  It was during the starting phase that 0.1 seconds was not enough for even the athlete's starting reaction time, but if it was at the finish line, the 0.1-second gap can clearly be seen by the naked eye, even if the distance is different by several positions.

At this moment, it was this 0.1 second time that gave Chen Jian enormous pressure.

Chen Jian had seen Zhang Guan's semi-finals and semi-finals yesterday. He already had a full understanding of Zhang Guan's speed and slow start.

Developed a plan for the final.  In his original plan, Zhang Guan's speed should be approaching himself before the finish line, but this time has reached the finish line, Chen Jian will be more than 0.1 seconds over the line.

It is a pity that the plan cannot keep up with the changes. Zhang Guan started 0.1 seconds faster than yesterday, so he caught up with Chen Jian earlier.

"I'm catching up so quickly! There is a deviation from the plan!" Chen Jian found Zhang Guan vaguely to keep pace with himself, and he was shocked. Looking at the endpoint in front of him, he knew he had to work hard.

Chen Jian is the national champion. He is currently the first person in the country. Although he joined the national team last year, he has swept almost all competitions this year. At the age of 23, he just entered a sprinter  The golden age is now his strongest moment!  Because of this, he didn't want to lose.  This is not only because of that Olympic ticket, but also a war of glory for athletes!

I saw that Chen Jian leaned forward, hoping that his head would cross the line first, but Zhang Guan would make this action earlier than him.

Because Zhang Guan is already leading, he is closer to the finish line.

The referee at the finish line only felt that the figure in front of him flickered and saw that both of them had crossed the finish line.

"Who won?" The people who watched the game on the edge of the field looked towards the scoreboard. They were placed in various positions around the distance, they were far from the end, and they were on the same level as the athletes. The observation was not very accurate.  Moreover, it is more difficult to tell the moving object in which the human eye directly observes a larger error, and it is difficult to judge who is faster.

Only the guidance clenched his fists and said excitedly: "It is Zhang Guan who won!

Yu Gui is on the rostrum, which is exactly parallel to the 100-meter track and is also the best observation position in the audience. Therefore, he can clearly see that Zhang Guan is slightly ahead.

"It's been a long time since I saw such a wonderful game!" Yu Gui looked at the athlete at the end with relief.

Chen Jian has played the level he deserves and is worthy of the current first-person title of 100m in China.

It can be seen that Chen Jian's physical condition is very good, and continued to maintain will definitely create better results.

Zhang Guan, who was even more pleased with the guidance, was even faster than Chen Jian at the age of seventeen. At this moment, the guidance has been able to confirm that Zhang Guan hopes to become a track and field team for the future.

Yu Gui closed his eyes and carefully recalled the situation when he just crossed the line, and then made a judgment: "The two are probably 0.05 seconds apart!

Finally, the electronic scoreboard shows the performance of all athletes.

"Chen Jian ran for 10 seconds 22!" Someone exclaimed immediately.

This is the normal state of Chen Jian, he already ran into the level of 10.20 seconds.  According to the historical process, the second half of 2003 was the time when Chen Jian was the strongest and the best. He will soon create the best personal history of 10.17 seconds at the National Athletics Championships, which is equal to the nation created by Zhou Wei in 1998.  Record, and then until 2010, no domestic players can run within 10.20 seconds.

Almost at the same time, another exclamation sounded: "Look, 10 seconds 16! New national record!

This is not my original work, I just wanted to continue this novel so I’m translating it on my own free time. Please Enjoy
________________________________________________

Athletics, sprints, high jump, a long jump he could do it all, breaking the world records was known as the “Emperor Track and Field”;
In the arena of basketball with his invincible shots
In the football stadium did not lose a game known as “the undefeated king”
On the tennis court, he won four Grand Slam in one year.
On the track created numerous “firsts”
He is the greatest Olympic champion.
He has many world records
He is the ALMIGHTY ATHLETE

Even so, he knew that when his Soul Forging Cultivation increases, he will be able to comprehend more from the insights taught to him by Old Man Garvin.
At that time, entering the Sixth and Seventh Stage won't be far from him anymore, even without the help of Fallen Heaven.
But with Fallen Heaven, this process might be increased in speed by the level and amount of soul essences he devours.
Ultimately, everything still ended up on Fallen Heaven to take care of him. To this, Davis was not at all amused as he wanted to have his own power surpassing that of Fallen Heaven's.
It was the third year from the time he was taken as a 'disciple' by Garvin and Davis was quite proud to say that he was adept at Soul Forging Cultivation.
After all, if he weren't adept, then it would've taken a long time for him to build a foundation in Soul Forging Cultivation for stepping into the latter stages.
In the same unchanged dimly lit room, Garvin sighed to Davis's boasting, "If only I had your potential and a teacher who would impart everything without reserve during my youth, sigh..."
Garvin Woller had realized that Davis being this talented and strong in his age was no accident.
If he were Davis, he imagined that he would break through to the Immortal Stage within a thousand years; minimum.
A state which he wouldn't even have to worry about dying of aging anymore! Or at least, that's what the world knew about the so-called Immortals.
"If only I had your cultivation base right now..." Davis sighed, lying on the bed with one of his hands placed on his chin.
Garvin turned to look at him, "Greedy bastard! Your strength at your age is already envious enough!"
'Clearly, this little bastard doesn't know what asking for an inch, yet taking a yard means!' Garvin thought hatefully as he stared daggers at Davis.
Davis chuckled and realized something, "Oh... Since you have seen the wide part of the world, then how would I compare to those geniuses from the major powers?" 
His eyes flashed.
He was truly interested in knowing where he stood among the younger generation geniuses. Of course, he held no competitive feelings, it was just pure curiosity!
Garvin narrowed his eyes and replied in a solemn tone yet dissatisfied tone, "Any old fart would want you to be their disciple. In terms of Soul Forging Cultivation, you alone can wipe the floor with these so-called geniuses."
Davis half-believing glanced at Garvin's eyes. He couldn't detect any change of expression on his face either.
'His evaluation of me must be appropriate...' Davis thought and was quite satisfied.
Then, he suddenly remembered something, "What about in terms of Body Tempering Cultivation and Essence Gathering Cultivation? How do I compare?"
Garvin lifted up his chin and thought for a moment, he then answered, "Though your Body Tempering Cultivation is on par with most geniuses, your Essence Gathering Cultivation is lagging way behind..."
Davis nodded his head calmly. To this, he wasn't surprised. He was already 15 years old and was nearing 16.
Even though it meant there were sixteen-year-old Body Transformation Stage Cultivators, Davis wasn't fazed at all because he knew that humans were more compatible with Essence Gathering Cultivation.
'But to think there was strong Body Tempering Cultivators at my age... What kind of monsters are they?' Davis thought.
After all, he had experienced a previous life and was quite used to pain, and as a result, could train Body Tempering Cultivation with a forbearing will.
'Do the major powers have a secret method to cultivate the body at such a young age?' Davis developed some kind of strange thoughts in his head.
Meanwhile, Garvin looked at Davis and chuckled as he interpreted Davis's question in a different way, 'This brat is surprisingly competitive and clever, good!'
The more Davis was like this, the more he had his chances of getting his revenge fulfilled!
"You are both a prodigy and a genius!" Garvin smiled, 'No matter what! I must use my remaining life to teach this boy to the fullest of my extent!'
His almost dead eyes were filled with deep emotions!
"What exactly does a prodigy mean?" Davis confusedly asked as he heard a new term.
Garvin furrowed his brows, silently cursing his fate. He never would've thought that one day, he would have to explain so much to a brat who wasn't even his disciple; in a formal sense.
But since he had decided long ago not to hold back anything when teaching him, he spoke, "A prodigy is a person who has achieved great cultivation results despite their young age." 
Old Man Garvin grinned, "For example, you."
"Your age is merely 15, and generally speaking, that is when children your age start cultivating their soul as they completed their breakthrough into the Revolving Core Stage."
"When even they are considered prodigies, much less is needed to be said about you."
"Huh? Then what about geniuses? Aren't they both the same thing then?" Davis confusedly asked.
"No, it's different. A genius is an individual who can jump levels to fight other people of the same cultivation stage, not the same cultivation base."
"Common people like to either designate one as a common cultivator or a genius/prodigy cultivator. They don't know that for us top powerhouses, there's a huge difference between being a prodigy and a genius."
"Almost everyone with ample resources could be a prodigy, but not every prodigy can be a genius. The gap separating a genius and a prodigy is very large."
"Of course, if one could cultivate to the highest stage possible in all three cultivation systems within 1,000 years, then it doesn't matter if that person is a genius or not since that person's potential would be boundless when compared to other geniuses."
"Unfortunately, there are no such great beings in the 52 Territories." Old Man Garvin slowly replied as he revealed a pitiful expression for the state of the geniuses.


Tian Long, an orphan without much of a life in both his thirty year long life and lifespan!
To him, a single opportunity was displayed to transmigrate into another world with his Death Book!
"What's this? Is this the body of a three year old? Davis? Is this my name from now on?"
Finding himself possessing a small child, he becomes inwardly conflicted before he faces the truth and his reality! 
Young Davis finds himself as the legal heir, the Crown Prince of the Loret Empire in the Grand Sea Continent, becoming a powerful cultivator in a short time...
However, is that all?
Follow his journey as Young Davis becomes a full fledged death's advocate while embodying into the Divine Emperor of Death in the world of cultivation!
"Mn? The route to become the Emperor is a given? Nah, I still don't want it..."
"Oh? I'm courting death you say? Unfortunately for you, death is already my woman..."

I opened the box and found swords in it.
"These are royal family swords?"
"Yeah"
"Then why did you bring them here?"
"My father told me to, you are the next heir, so they will be yours"
I have been at my grandparents place many times, of course I have seen swords and many royal family treasures.
Some swords are considered national treasures, there is one sword made with the rarest material, one made with diamond, they are very valuable, they were kept in the safe and have a tight security so...
"Why the hell did he send them here?"
"The palace is undergoing renovation, so we are only keeping these here for sometime"
"That's it?" I was worried for noth---
"But they are now yours" my mother quipped.
"So, what did grandpa say?"
"He was talking about making you public on your 18th birthday"
"I see"
"If you don't want that you can tell us, we will talk with my father"
"Nah, it's okay"
"Was Aunt Lirole there too?"
"No, Lirole didn't come, I will talk to her later"
"Ohby the way,you guys already ate?"
"Yeah we ate on our way back"
"Okay then, I will order something"
"No need for that" my mother stopped me
"Why? Wait, you don't mean you will cook for me, right? You look exhausted, I don't want to trouble you"
"No, we brought some pizza with us."
"Oh, didn't think of that"
They usually don't let me eat junk food but once in a while it's okay and I can't tell them I have been eating too much junk food, it's all Elena's fault. She drags me around from one place to another and makes me eat junk food.
I was eating pizza and...
"Been years since I saw swords" my mother said as she took a sword from the box.
"How about you show Das your sword skills?"
"Sure, Das watch carefully"
"What are you---"
My mother started swinging sword, she is using sword like she has been using them since she was a kid--well I am sure my grandparents taught her,
"I am in mood too" my father said as he took one of the swords from the box.
"Hey dad, what are you doing?"
"Watch me"
My father did the same thing as my mother, how does he know how to use a sword?
"Want to have a duel?" asked my mother
"I was just going to ask you that" said my father
You are kidding, right? These are real swords, if you miss them you will get hurt.
"Hey, stop---"
I couldn't stop them, how could I possibly stop them when they are having so much fun?
It's like they have fought many battles and know exactly what they are doing...ah, my father did say that he and mom have played a VR game together.
"So you have really played a VR game, huh?" my mother stopped fighting when I said that.
"How do you know about that?" she asked
"Dad told me"
"Derek? Why did you tell him?"
"It's okay, we shouldn't hide it from him"
What are they about? I have never seen such a horrified look on my mother's face before.
"Didn't we talk about it already?" my mother yelled.
I haven't seen her yelling either, she does yell at me sometimes but as long as I remember she has never yelled at my father before
"Angela, it's okay, something like that will never happen again"
Something like what? Wait...you don't mean---that can't be true, right?
"Dad could it be that the VR game you played was the ---"
My mother's phone rang, "It's Lirole, wait a minute Das"
"Okay" my mother answered the call.
"Hey Lirole"
I haven't seen my aunt in 3 years.
"Yeah I went to the palace today"
Is she embarrassed to call that place her home?"
"Yeah, why didn't you ---wha...no way, congratulations"
Huh? Congratulations? What happened?
"I see, yeah, okay, yeah, sure, yeah take care"
"What did she say?" my father asked
"Lirole is pregnant"
"I will call Ady later"
Ady is my aunt's husband--wait now it's not the time for that, she is pregnant?
My aunt is 16 years younger than my mom and my mom is currently 50 so my aunt is 34.
It's normal to get pregnant at 34, I have a cousin too, she is 15 years old.
Let me tell you a legend of royal family blood, in the royal family ever since forever every male has got his lover pregnant at the age of 20, same goes for every female, female gets pregnant at age 20 too. No one can avoid that, it's like destiny, even my grandfather got my grandmother pregnant when they were 20 and that's the reason of 16 years age gap between my mother and my aunt.
The same thing happened with my aunt. She got pregnant when she was still in university. My uncle and aunt took a break from university for a year and resumed it the next year. When my aunt gave birth to my cousin, it was kept secret from the world, my uncle and aunt got married at 20 on paper but had their ceremony 10 years later.
It didn't happen with my mom though, my mom is truly awesome, she broke the legend.
"Lier is coming here next week" said my mother.
"I see"
I haven't seen her in a year, I am worried about her, will the legend happen to her too? She is currently 15 so, there are still 5 years left, maybe she already has a boyfriend? No way, right? She is the same as me, she had the same childhood as me, even more cruel than mine.
"What's wrong Das?"
"Nothing, I am going to bed"
I haven't slept yesterday either, I am feeling sleepy.
Das went upstairs to his room meanwhile,
"Angela, you should act calm in front of Das"
"But when I heard about VR game--"
"Something like that won't happen again, it was 30 years ago, the world is changed now"
"I still have nightmares of the time we were trapped in the game"
"But we cleared the game, right? Everyone was safe"
"Many died in the game"
"I know"
"We are not the ones who cleared the game"
"I know"
"We are not the ones who saved the players"
"I know"
"It was 'him'!"
"I know"
"That person cleared the game, that person saved us, saved everyone"
"I know, I know"
"He lost his lover in that game"
"..."
"He lost everything in the game"
"....."
"He was one of the victims but he was treated as the culprit behind that tragedy"
"Angela---"
"And when the misunderstanding was clear, he was found dead months later"
"....."
"Do you really think someone like him can die in a car incident?"
"I--"
"He was killed and I am sure of it"
"Angela, it's okay, he is watching over us, watching over the VR world so, something like that won't happen again"
"Do you really believe that?"
"There is no reason not to believe that"
"I hope it's true"
"Yeah"
Angela walked to the kitchen and took out a beer bottle,
"Angela? What are you doing?"
"I want to drink some beer"
"You can't handle beer well"
"It's okay, I will only drink a small amount"
She gulped down the whole bottle,
"Angela?"
"Hmm?"
"Are you drunk?"
"Derek... you look cute"
"Yeah, you are definitely drunk"
"I am not...drunk"
"You are"
"I am...not"
She took the sword which was lying on the sofa and started swinging it,
"Hey, watch out, you will hurt yourself"
"I will not, I...will protect...you"
"Yeah, you did protected me back then, many times"
She passed out soon after and Derek took her into their room.

Das Ryle, a prodigy. He had a terrible childhood because he was a prodigy.

Ever since then he started hating people, adults and the world, but he was and still is loved by his parents.

Due to certain circumstances he was forced to enroll in high school. He was the same age as other students, but high school was too easy and boring for him.

After being bored when he was about to drop out from school, he was yet again forced to do something. 'I want you to tutor a girl' the teacher said, he reluctantly agreed.

After tutoring that girl for months he fell in love with that girl but there was one problem, that girl was a gamer and had no interest in studying at all. 

Fast forward to months, they started dating. He began to change, he started accepting people, he experienced new emotions. 

Then one day his girlfriend recommended him to play a VR game with her, not wanting to be hated by the girl he loves, he agreed. 

What happens next? Read the novel.

There are few things I want to clear before you start reading, as I described in the synopsis, He hates this world and peoples, but he loves who loves him, he loves them and deeply cares for them.

The MC in this novel is not a typical hero, nor he is an anti-hero. He will do what he thinks is right, he only cares for himself and the people who love him.

Mc is an idiot in the game, he has no experience in the game whatsoever. He is a noob but he will use his intelligence to play the game.(So please don't complain in comments that mc is pathetic or he is an idiot)

The story will take place in both the real world and the game. It's like a slice of life but somewhat different. The story revolves around Mc, his girlfriend and people around them, but everything will be related to the game.

This can be spoiler but I suggest you read this, 

*Now let's talk about this novel, most people like Harem and some don't. You might be thinking that 'What is this idiot author doing by adding Harem in the novel even though MC already has a girlfriend', let me answer that question, I particularly don't like Harem, but it depends on the story plot.

There are certain novels, mangas, anime, which have Harem, but in the end only one girl wins or an open ending, I really hate when that happens, I really hate when any girl/Harem member cries because of that reason, so you don't have to worry about that in this novel because I WILL MAKE SURE THAT YOU CAN ACCEPT HAREM OF THIS NOVEL.(So will the MC and his girlfriend) 

Now let's talk about me, I really like making stories and I always wanted to write one. My writing style maybe bit...well more than a bit rusty because I don't have writing experience but I will make sure that you can enjoy this novel

After taking a 5 minute shower and changing into his normal wear, Cecil hurried towards the dining room.

When he arrived, he found the figure of his father sitting at the head of the table. 

His father had a somewhat large build, with prominent muscles showing despite the fact that his father was wearing somewhat loosely fit clothes. Even while sitting, his father was a full 3 heads taller than him, clearly exceeding 2 meters in height if he was standing. 

This was of course attributed to the fact that he himself had also experienced the grueling training like Cecil did during his childhood. This was also because his father was inherently tall, probably due to genetics. 

While he, Cecil, was of a small stature. As a 13 year old he only had the height of 135 cm, more or less. Clearly, he wouldn't pass the 180 mark by the time he was 21 years old no matter what kind of food or training he did. 

This was due to the fact that his mother was the so-called Loli. 

Even at the age of 40, his mother was still child-like. Whether it'd be from how she looked or how tall she was, she was indeed, child-like, a bonafide Loli.  And that mother of his was sitting beside the largely built man who was his father. 

Also his father was only 42 this year. They literally only had a two year gap in age, but the contrast between the two made them both look like a father and a daughter, instead of husband and wife.

The contrast between the two, if someone from outside the family saw, was totally mind-boggling. It also made one think of how weird his father's taste in girls was. 

Not like he would care, or know, for that matter. He was already used to this scene, that for him, it was all a part of his common sense, that was clearly, not developed in the proper way.

After taking his seat on the other side of his mother, he waited for his other siblings, his grandfather and grandmother, to come join them for lunch.

A few minutes later, an old couple entered the room. Although they were supposed to be old, being more than 70 years old, they came walking in with a strong gait, laughing and teasing each other.

"Haha, old coot, you still can't beat me in a game of chess!"

"Th-that was because I took it easy on you since you're my wife!"

"Says the man who couldn't ever beat his wife ever since they met!"

"Urk…"

It was a fact that his grandmother was a genius at the game. When his grandmother was still in her youth, she was the world champion in chess for 5 consecutive years. 

Only after she grew bored of the game, that she renounced her title, passed it to the winner of the next championship, and declared retirement. She was only 25 at the time of retirement and she was official and unofficially, undefeated at the game. 

So all the talk about letting his wife win was just total and utter bullshit. It was just his grandfather trying to find an excuse to save face.

They entered and sat down on the opposite side of his father, directly in front of Cecil and his mother.

"So, how was your training Cel?"

It was his grandmother who asked, Cel was the puppy name that most of his family called him by.

"It was the usual. Repetitive and exhausting."

"Well, we expect you to be able to inherit the skills by the time you're 16 so– "

"That's just because you both are desperate."

Seeing him complaining, his grandfather was about to lecture him again before being chided by his grandmother.

"The both of you are the ones to blame for putting Cel in such a situation!"

"Grandmother is right, fufufu."

"Ugh…"

"…"

This was the normal happening when Cecil started complaining. Grandfather and father would try to lecture him, only to be chided and criticized by his grandmother and mother. 

He felt happy being defended as it was his form of revenge towards his father and grandfather.

"Well, it's not like I'm not against doing it…"

And with these words, his father and grandfather's expression brighten a bit.

Right then, a young lady around the age of 20, walked into the room. She was tall, had shoulder length wavy black hair. She was wearing glasses and had a very cold expression on her face. 

She resembled Cecil's mother. She was the so-called cold beauty and she also happened to be Cecil's very doting, eldest sister, the first born of the Silvaria family, Fatima Silvaria.

She walked next to Cecil and took her seat beside him.

"Big Sis!"

She smiled warmly, breaking the extremely cold expression on her face and nodded towards Cecil and proceeded to ruffle his hair.

"Hehe, how was your day Sis?"

"Nothing worth mentioning."

"Heeeh, I bet it was much more thrilling than what I have to go through."

"Mhm, work hard Cel."

"Okay!"

Fatima was especially warm towards Cecil. She felt a little bad for pushing all the hardships of training towards her cute and adorable little brother. 

Her expression turned cold again before she greeted her parents and grandparents.

"Grandma, grandpa. Mother... father."

"Huhu, how's my Fatima doing?"

"I'm fine Grandma."

"That's good."

The exchange between the 2 could be seen as cold from an outsider's perspective. But for the family, this was considered a warm greeting from Fatima. 

Normally she wouldn't exchange any form of greeting if someone even tried to talk to her. So for her taking the initiative to greet someone was considered really warm. 

The only exception would be her change towards her little brother Cecil. Unlike how her appearance suggests, she was very protective of her siblings. She cared so much for them that the actual reason for the other siblings' renouncement of their rights was actually, mostly due to her persuasions. 

The only oddball would be Cecil, her youngest brother. She couldn't bear to ruin her little brother's enthusiasm for training, which resulted in the current situation where Cecil was the heir to the family's traditions.

"Is everything good with the company?"

"Yes, father."

"Keep working hard, honey."

"Mhm, okay mama."

"Although, you aren't the heir, do remember to train once in a while. In a healthy body therein lies a healthy mind and soul!"

"Yes, grandfather."
 
Today's Fatima seems to be in a good mood, thought Cecil. He's never seen his eldest sister respond to each of them with a slight smile on her face.

"Did something happen, Big Sis?"

"Not really, it's just nice to smile once in a while. Don't you think so, Cel?"

Fatima right away changed the subject. Cecil thought to himself that it would be better if his sister was smiling much more too, so he didn't disagree to that.

While they were talking 2 more boys, around the age of 16 and 15 respectively, came into the room. Again they were Cecil's siblings.

"Yo!"

"Hello…Mother, father… Granny, grandpa."

The older one was called Matheus and the younger was Luca. Right after the two entered a 6 year old little girl ran in hugging a bunny doll in her arms, followed by another 15 year old boy who looked like an exact copy of Luca. The other 4 of Cecil's siblings finally arrived.

"Mummy!!!~"

"Come here Angelia."

"Hihihi~"

*Yawn*
 The little girl ran towards Mother Cecil and jumped onto her. The boy who was the twin brother of Luca, Gabriel, walked in rather sluggishly after yawning aloud passing by Matheus and Luca and sat down near the end of the table. After which, Matheus and Luca took their seats.

"Sis." "Big sis."

"Mhm."

After greeting Fatima they turned to look at Cecil.

"Sup, Cel!" "Hey"

"Matty, Luc. Gabriel."

"Hm."

Cecil greeted his brothers and only earned a grunt from Gabriel. 

Gabriel was the laziest of the 4 brothers, partly because he had his fantasies as a child ruined by Father and Grandfather Cecil.

"Okay, now since everyone's here, let's eat!"

After Father Cecil declared as such, everyone immediately started getting busy, serving themselves the already prepared food in front of them.

After Cecil finished eating he quickly excused himself, remembering that he had to feed his pet dog, Silver. 

He went to the kitchen retrieving the already prepared, huge slice of beef and a big bowl of dog food and water. He then walked out the backdoor of the mansion and ran towards a somewhat large doghouse.

"Silver! Come and get it!!!"

After which, a 1 meter tall almost 2 meter long white silvery dog, no, it was more like a wolf, came out of  the doghouse and sprinted towards Cecil. 

This silver wolf was none other than Silver. He was originally a wolf pup that Cecil saved during his days of training out in the wilderness with his father. 

After saving the wolf, it became attached to the young Cecil and started following him around throughout his training.

"Rah, rah!"

"Here ya go!"

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

An ear screeching sound rang out through the air.

Covering his ears, Cecil looked around bewilderingly searching for the source of the uncomfortable ringing. 

It sounded like it was coming from the front of the Silvaria mansion. Cecil ran towards the front of his mansion with Silver and looked towards the source of the sound. 

Since the Silvaria estate was on elevated grounds, almost to the point where it was built on a mountainside, he was able to see the modern age city down below, that was partly engulfed in a piercing white light. 

The light itself seemed to be rapidly expanding, trying to engulf the entire area.

"Cecil!!! Silver!!! COME BACK HERE!!!"

He looked back and saw his mother waving frantically to him from the entrance of his mansion. Looking back towards the light, it was rapidly approaching his house. 

He was somewhat stunned, but quickly regained his bearings. He started sprinting back towards his mother alongside Silver.
 
"MOM!!!"

"CEL!!!!"

The white light engulfed both him and Silver. The last thing he saw was his mother and father as well as the rest of his family running towards him, and then everything went white.

It was the year 2023 on Earth, on the afternoon of a normal day, the Earth was suddenly enveloped by an unknown light that mysteriously transferred the human population into another world.

This story begins with a pitiful boy who was reluctantly forced into accepting his family's martial inheritance after his siblings turned it down. Who would have thought that this very inheritance would be extremely useful in the world he would be transported to.

Separated from his family, he was thrown into a forest of an unknown world alongside his friend and pet, Silver. This is the story about the adventures of the boy, Cecil, and his pet wolf, Silver, in the world of Alterna.
