The white flashes coming from the cameras blinded Yan Xiaoran. She was away from the spotlight for three years and didn't have a good life during those years.

She could still remember being surrounded by steel bars, gruesome prisoners, and police officers who had a baton hanging on their belts, who monitored every prisoners' action and be vigilant to any uprising that might happen.

The only light that was focused on her was the light from the lighthouse when she tried to escape and was soon tied up and beaten by the police officers who were on duty. But look at where she was now, not only was she being pictured and filmed in their cameras, everyone's eyes were also focused on her.

The only difference in her situation was in the past, she was wearing the prisoner's uniform but now, she was wrapped in an expensive dress that brought forth her raw beauty.

Before coming here, Yan Xiaoran hesitated a few times before she was convinced by a nagging Stephanie who looked like she was about to bit her head off her.

She was left with the choice of staying at home and ignore Robert Qu's grandson, and be nagged the whole night with a fuming human volcanic named Stephanie.

She didn't really want to attend the party but she had no choice 

In the end, Yan Xiaoran gave in and wore the dress Stephanie prepared for her after a long process of selection. 

The dress she wore was made to fit her body and showed more than Yan Xiaoran thought. 

As she stood on the red carpet, the cameras being held by reporters and journalists didn't finish taking in the image of her beautiful figure. Instead, the cameras who were focused on the other few guests on the red carpet flew to her and flashed even faster!

The fewer guests who were left in the air by these reporters and journalists frowned since they didn't get to finish posing in front of the camera and looked at her way.

They first got angry but upon seeing the reason why there was a commotion, they couldn't help but also be fascinated. 

Yan Xiaoran was wearing a mask blocking her identity from everyone else but that didn't cover up the elegance and graceful temperament she showed as she slowly walked on the red carpet.

Suddenly, a burst of whisperings and sounds of clicking filled the red carpet area.

"Who is she?"

"Did the host of the party invited a popular singer and wanted to hide her identity?"

"Is she a Hollywood actress?"

"Gosh! I need to get this story and post it online!"

"Hmm… Just from her appearance and presence, I could tell that she came from a wealthy family."

"She must be an heiress from a wealthy family!"

The people talked and didn't cover their voices as they continued to guess her identity. They were too excited and curious that they keep on writing in their notepads.

"That dress… Isn't that the latest collection of the renowned designer Stephanie Choo?"

"Stephanie Choo?! I didn't hear she released another collection of her designs!"

"I need to call my Dad and tell him, he needs to buy me that same dress!"


The female guests who were still standing on the red carpet also joined in with the commotion. 

They couldn't believe their eyes that the woman who had just arrived wore the latest collection of Stephanie Choo who was the most sought after designer in the whole world.

Many wealthy heiresses wanted to hire her as their personal fashion designer but she rejected all of them. There was even a rumor she blacklisted a wealthy heiress who angered her to which the fashion world followed after her steps and also blacklisted the spoiled heiress.

As a designer, Stephanie's reputation and fame were all over the world. She first shook the fashion world when she was only 12 years old and became a sensation soon after she made an appearance in Paris fashion week.

Stephanie Choo came from a wealthy family that produced world-class models. 

And as a child who grew up in front of the spotlight and became exposed to the model world, Stephanie's decision to stray away from the modeling world and become a designer was a huge shock!

At first, everyone thought she would flop but with her influence and with the help of her family who accepted her decision, everyone eventually became curious about her and started to follow her.

And the reason she was very popular and sought after wasn't only due to the influence of her family, it was also because of her talent to draw new styles in fashion and put her followers' into consideration. 

With the talent she showed, everyone became a fan of her. The dresses she made was one of the most expensive dresses in the world, however, it didn't matter to her fans as they continued to buy her designed clothes at any amount.

So, when these spoiled wealthy female guests saw Yan Xiaoran wearing Stephanie's latest collection, they gritted their teeth in envy and had the urge to go back home to have their parents buy them the latest collection created by Stephanie Choo.

However, how could they possibly storm out and not attend the Majestic Ball? The female guests threw a few glances admiration toward Yan Xiaoran before they completely entered the threshold of the Majestic Ball venue.

While the people behind the cameras also noticed her outfit that was created by Stephanie Choo and gasped loudly. They immediately added this information to their notepad and thought that she was really someone important!

With everyone's eyes in her, Yan Xiaoran was clueless about how great Stephanie Choo was, and even if she found it out, she would never associate the renowned designer Stephanie Choo from the naughty and shameless Stephanie she knew.

Squaring her shoulders and letting out her breath, Yan Xiaoran gulped down the bile in her throat and continued to walk toward the entrance of the venue where she would be surrounded by the people who might recognize her.

She touched the cold surface of her mask and said, "It's alright. Even if they found out, what is there to be scared of?" She smiled and continued, "I'm a free woman now."

Excerpt:

With his hand around her, he said, "From the moment we met, I became certain of one thing."

She stared at him and tugged the fingers creeping under her skirt, "W-what is it"

"Other than me, there's no man who's allowed to marry you." He smiled devilishly and licked his lips before saying, "And the only girl who's able to marry me is you.

Note: This novel is an ORIGINAL story by me (Poisonlily) and NOT a TRANSLATION!

Honoka had been in her apartment when she had gotten a notification for a link for the draw generator, this was the first time being a part of a group that was gonna be doing a themed cosplay group and not just a "cosplay any character you want".

This draw was to prevent the members of the said group from arguing when it came to who cosplays who, aside from making things interesting.

A draw, huh? I don't have much luck with things like these...

I just hope I get a character that has a outfit that's not that hard to make...

But, Will I have time to make it though?

She started to worry about her schedule getting busy once her editor tells her to start working on the next volume, unfortunately for her, none of the admins of the group chat hasn't announced the date of the group cosplay as of yet. 

Yuuki only had announced that there's gonna be one soon and didn't specify a given date for when they were gonna be doing it.

Should I post about this on my SNS...? 

But then again... I might get kicked off of the group for that...

Honoka hesitant to post about the upcoming event online couldn't do so for the sole reason of her being removed from the group and group chat as it was against the set rules.

Should I draw now...? Or do it later?

I guess I should since Yuuki already posted it...

*tap*

She opened the link to a webpage that has a menu that looks like a gacha menu of a japanese mobile game, this was "pretty cool" she thought as she pressed the "draw" button on the said menu.

In an instant... Her draw result was now decided...

She got a character that's obviously female, that has a spear with blonde hair that's styled into pigtails, blue eyes, wearing armor that makes the said character have the appearance of a knight from the middle ages.

Oh... Looks like I'll have to learn how to make cosplay armor now...

Her excitement disappeared the instant she saw her character assignment. With no knowledge on making armor that's meant for cosplaying, she now had to learn from online tutorials and ask help from the members of the group chat like usual.

I heard that I needed a heat gun for forming the foam into shape but...

How much will one cost...?

Her first search was about the retail price of a heat gun, all of the search results that she got ranged from the cheap to the most expensive, from the not-that-well-known to the famous brands.

Which one should I get...? Maybe I should refer to a tutorial first before I spend money on one of these...

A wise decision-- Her decision to not spend money first and look it up later was wise, she was better of doing this than regretting it later on.

Let's see... EVA Foam... Razor knife, a hot knife... a hot glue gun, some velcro... a heat gun, some nylon straps and bukles... and a marker for marking... a metal ruler and some spray paint... and lastly... a rotary tool?

Woah... That's a lot... This is gonna suck... I can tell already...

This new costume of hers will be costing
her quite a bit of money if she wasn't careful about buying the materials that was needed.

This was prooving to be challenging to her as she started to work on the said costume...

Her hand would often slip when she was handling the rotary tool, resulting in unessesary mistakes...

The mistakes that she had made were also obvious when she started to paint the finished armor pieces.

Her process of crafting this time was a fun and new expierence for her... With every cut she had made on the EVA foam, she slowly finished putting the armor pieces together using some of the velcro and nylon straps that she had ordered online with the hot glue gun before she added to add the details afterwards using a combination of the rotary tool, the hot knife.

This process was the tricky part... One slip and her costume would be ruined and she would have to start over.

This part is making me nervous... The people on the group chat to take it slow but...

She thought, already thinking of the mistakes that she could potencially do in the middle of carving the details onto the said foam armor.

This process could take from three hours to even more depending on how much time she had to work on it.

*Vrrrr*

Still with an ounce of hestation, she turned the rotary tool on after she finished putting marks for the detailing process on the surface of the eva material.

Little by little... The area that the said tool touched would slowly be cut away, like it was a piece of butter.

*riing*

Her smartphone rung after an hour of working on the armor, interupting her.

That could be Shigure... She usually calls me around this time of the month to tell me about the sales results of my light novel.

She turned off the rotary tool before she put it down on the table and picked it up her phone.

"I've got good news and bad news, which one do you wanna hear first?" 

Sure enough, the person on the other end was actually her editor- Shigure.

I really hate it when both news are present... Why is there bad news this time...?

She felt her heart sink as the words "bad news" come from her smartphone's front speaker.

The sound of it always meant that there was something that she had to do in order to continue working for her publisher.

"I'd like to hear the good one first..."

"The sales quota for your latest volume has been reached as usual.

As for the bad news..."

Oh god, here we go... Please don't be a book signing...

Honoka braced herself as Shigure slowly broke the news to her.

"You're gonna be getting a book signing event."

Damn it! Why?!

"Oh... Ok..."

Oh whatever... Atleast my publisher isn't asking me to rush to finish the current story arc...

Giving up on attempting to argue with Shigure, Honoka decided to give in to the sudden news.

She felt rather relieved that the higher ups wasn't asking her to do something hard like rushing the story.

***

A couple of days has now passed, Honoka had also finished most of the detailing on the armor; she had now reached the point where she can almost start applying the paint to it.

With her sales quota reached, she can now move on to planning out the next volume without any worries, her free time to work on the armor had also decreased as she received the OK to proceed with the next volume.

[To be continued...]

A female immortal around the age of 800 decided to join a chat group for cosplayers that had members that are immortals, vampires, hackers, demons, and many more immortal creatures including some fantasy creatures as members.

But the only problem is she has almost no experience in cosplaying and only has a year of experience and writes light novels as a job so she barely has anytime to work on her costumes.

Will had indeed struggled to read Fang Zhao, but he had been able to capture the complexity of his inner turmoil—not entirely, but at least a part of it. That was already a big success. To capture the full extent of Fang Zhao's complexity would require further refinement of his painting skills.
So for Will, the painting was a form of incremental progress, the equivalent of a draft. He hadn't taken it too seriously.
Will had attained his short-term goal of tackling a portrait of Fang Zhao. At least Fang Zhao was within his grasp. He could produce some semblance of a portrait of Fang Zhao. But Curly Hair fell outside his comfort zone.
Others might not be able to detect that complexity. More often than not, Will only sensed that the dog was a bit special, but when he picked up his paintbrush, he realized that he had no idea where to start. The more he pondered the matter, the more confused he got. This was a challenge unlike any other he had faced before. No one had taught him how to handle a problem like this; it was something he had never thought about. After considering the matter some more, he had decided to start with the dog's owner.
And this was an idea that had come from his cousin, a dog owner himself. Will remembered that his cousin had once said that a dog's personality, to some extent, came from its master. That was why Will had painted Fang Zhao. Now it was time to study the dog again. 
Yet he was still clueless as to where to begin.
After another round of brainstorming, Will decided to borrow Curly Hair for a brief time. He might get more insight after a period of close contact with the dog.
But Will knew he wasn't a dog lover. He had never wanted a dog before. He thought they were too much trouble. He had even been bitten by a dog once. He had not harbored any affection for a dog since he'd been a kid. Now that he decided to have a dog, he made a rare call home.
The person who answered was Will's father, Will Sr.
Will's new piece had caught the attention of masters in the art world, and word had traveled to Will Sr. He was quite proud and had just bragged about the news to a few old friends. He was still wearing a broad smile when he got the call from his son.
"What is it? Have you run into a problem?" said Will Sr. in an unusually pleasant tone.
"There is indeed a problem," Will said.
Will Sr. was intrigued. "Tell me."
"I want to have a dog."
Will's comment caught his father completely off guard. Will Sr. nearly dropped the teacup he was holding. Incredulous, he was scared more than surprised. 
"You're going to scoop dog poop with your drawing hand?"
Will kept his cool. "I won't have to clean up myself. I did some research. Now, there are AI robots that can do the job and other related equipment that can ease the owner's burden. I won't have to do stuff like clean up poop myself."
"Don't you remember that you were bitten by a dog?" Will Sr. said.
"I don't have amnesia." Will maintained his composure, speaking as if he were bringing up a mundane matter. "There's no law that says you can't have a dog after you've been bitten by one."
"Tell me the truth. Why exactly do you want to have a dog?" Will Sr. asked.
"For inspiration. I can't draw a dog, so I want to try close contact with one."
"You've been enrolled in the Twelve Tones program for some time now and you can't even draw a dog?" Will Sr. scolded.
Even though he struck a hostile tone, Will Sr. knew his son well. He knew that Will had to have his reasons. Maybe he did genuinely need to borrow a dog to find inspiration and resolve his impasse.
"How long are you going to keep your dog for?" Will Sr. asked.
"I don't know. Probably until I can paint the dog." Will sounded unusually troubled. It felt horrible being stuck. Why would he bother taking care of a dog if he could already draw one? It was too much hassle. But Will wasn't sure when he would be able to produce a painting.
Will Sr. dropped his objections but voiced other concerns. "What kind of dog do you want to have? Don't pick a big dog. When big dogs bite, they kill."
"A small dog."
"That's good." Will Sr. breathed a sigh of relief. "Bring it over some time."
"I haven't gotten the dog yet."
"Who are you borrowing it from?"
"Fang Zhao."
When the latest class of the Twelve Tones program had been announced, Will Sr. had looked into Fang Zhao, who struck him as being exceptionally young. Plus, Fang Zhao and Will were neighbors. Will Sr. had done some research online, and he knew that Fang Zhao had a very expensive dog.
Will Sr. pondered for another few seconds. "I'm going to send over another servant. You also need a nutritionist."
"For the dog?"
"For you!" Will Sr. wanted to hang up on his son.
Will was mentally exhausted from holing up all this time for his Fang Zhao portrait. He struck everyone as being in poor health. He needed someone to look after him, and he needed to rest.
Father and son discussed the matter of the dog some more. Will accepted his father's suggestion to call one of their relatives to ask for advice on having a dog. The relative recommended a popular web channel dedicated to dog rearing. The host broadcast his dog training sessions live and offered tips to novice dog owners.
When Will clicked on the link, the host was disciplining a dog and launching into a spiel at the same time:
"I like smart dogs but not cunning dogs. What's the difference? Smart dogs do what you ask. Cunning dogs ignore your instructions. Smart dogs are of the cuddly and adorable variety, while cunning dogs are little demons."
Will thought about the dog next door. Based on his current understanding, Curly Hair belonged to the cuddly and adorable category.
To prepare for his upcoming dog ownership, Will pulled out a notebook and started taking notes.
[Curly Hair type: cuddly and adorable] 
The host continued in his live webcast: "Most dogs are afraid of heights."
Will jotted a reminder in his notebook not to walk Curly Hair on high ground.
"Dogs like to be fondled, but don't fondle the butt or tail of a dog whose personality you don't know well."
No touching! Definitely not! Will jotted down this point with force. He was still haunted by the memory of being bitten by a dog as a child.
"Dogs like to chew and bite."
Gotta hide all my pens.
And they like to tear stuff?
Gotta hide my most important documents, especially my paintings. As for the rest, so be it.
"There's a saying from the Old Era that dogs can't help eating shit..."
Gotta lock my bathroom door too!
...
While Will was preparing for dog ownership, an online news item sparked heated discussion.
Will's HuangArt professor posted Will's painting on the school's website and made it available for auction.
After the portrait was posted online, it began drawing the attention of fellow artists. The number of bids rose quickly. Within a day, the portrait was going for 30 million dollars.
Paintings that were posted by HuangArt as one of its featured pieces were the works of either masters or very talented students. It was not unheard of for a painting to go for as much as 30 million, but when pieces attracted such bids in the past, it was typically from other artists, collectors, or investors. Other folks wouldn't pay attention, nor would they express interest.
There were two reasons this particular painting was able to draw attention from every continent in a short period: the style was unusual and, more importantly, the subject was Fang Zhao.
"'My Neighbor'? Whose neighbor looks like that? His facial features are leaping from the canvas! It's gonna scare children."
"Hahahaha, who is Will's neighbor? Poor thing being depicted this way."
"According to my auntie who works at HuangArt, Will's neighbor is Fang Zhao."
"That's impossible!"
"According to credible sources, the neighbor is indeed Fang Zhao."
"F*ck! That looks nothing like Fang Zhao!"
"This is worth 30 million? My niece in primary school can paint like that."
"Not to brag, but I could produce 10 paintings like this in a day!"
"Then why don't you paint one?"
"So this is what they call an abstract painting?"
"Isn't Will Sr. a surrealist painter? I remember him saying that he wanted Will to take after him. Even if Will doesn't become a surrealist, he's not an abstract painter. This is a major detour."
"Nowadays, painters just follow the money. What you hate, others like. Surrealism was indeed popular in Will Sr.'s time, but now the elite prefer abstract paintings. That's why Will switched gears. Look, the bids for his portrait broke 30 million in a day. The bids are going to keep going up."
"I don't really get the aesthetic standards of you artists."
"A regular Joe like me can't understand abstract paintings. They're no fun. I prefer surreal paintings. Who was it that painted a portrait of Fang Zhao last time? I thought he did a good job."
"A year-one student at my art academy just drew a sketch of Fang Zhao. [picture]"
"That sketch wouldn't pass muster in our class. It's so superficial and empty. Other than the fact that it looks like Fang Zhao, there's nothing there."
Some of the onlookers were confused. "So... apart from resemblance, what other elements are we looking for?"
"Of course something deeper, something philosophical. There's a reason why Will's painting got so expensive. The more I study it, the more of a heart-thumping, dazzling effect it has."
"I'm bedazzled too. Even a painting like this is worth 30 million? I feel dizzy, my eyes are blurry, and my heart is racing. I want to have a painting auctioned too!"
"Even if it's a decent painting, the pricing is a bit high."
"Hype! It's definitely hype!"
There were the naysayers—and defenders as well.
"That's actually not the case. My uncle put in a bid too. He's not a painter and he doesn't really understand the painting, but he's a businessman. He is quite rosy about the painting's commercial prospects."
"True. The painter is a rising star and the subject is likewise a genius artist. Fang Zhao is a trending topic."
"But the way Will portrays Fang Zhao is really spooky. He looks like an alien."
"Hahahaha, there you go. My question has been answered—the reason why Fang Zhao kicks ass at everything is because he's an alien!"
"Will, does Fang Zhao know you painted him like this?"
"Paging 'Alien' Fang Zhao!"
The focus of the discussion shifted again, this time from the pricing of the painting to Fang Zhao's new nickname. But amid all the playful banter, no one took things seriously. This was simply a form of entertainment.
In addition, the matter died down quickly, replaced by the latest headlines from the entertainment industry and news about new celebrity ventures and projects.
Oblivious of the online chatter, Will pressed the doorbell to Fang Zhao's dorm room after taking dozens of pages of notes on dog rearing.


"Every time background music plays in my head, I feel like there is nothing to be afraid of." —Fang Zhao
Toward the end of the apocalyptic period, Fang Zhao lost his life. However, instead of dying, he found himself 500 years later in the body of a young and aspiring composer who shared the same name. Having received a second chance at life, Fang Zhao sets out to achieve the previous owner's dreams.
Armed with the experience of living through an apocalyptic age and his profession as a composer before that period, Fang Zhao uses his talent, wits, and knowledge to make his mark in the entertainment industry of the future.

The grips and risers of recurve bows usually only had stabilizing and shock reducing effects. It wouldn't deform during the drawing of an arrow. As such, the grip could be made using either wood or metal.
However, what Zhang Che wanted to custom make was an unheard-of super-strong bow. If it was purely made using metallic materials, the grip would need to be alloyed with many rare minerals found in the beast world. The price would become too expensive as a result.
Using wooden materials was different. Although woods that could withstand such heavy forces were rare even in the beast world, their prices wouldn't be too ridiculous.
That thousand-year Everlasting Wood was confirmed as the material for the grips. Next, the selection of the materials for the bows' limbs was a little more troublesome.
This particular store didn't display any exotic beast materials that satisfied Zhang Che's requirements.
Or perhaps, since it was almost impossible for most to be able to use those super-strong bows with thousand-plus kilogram draw weights in this world, the suitable materials were all kept in other display rooms, sold as materials for other uses.
However, the customer was king. Since Zhang Che had the need, the material store very quickly sorted out the high-grade materials that were suitable for crafting into bow limbs that met his required draw strength.
Less than an hour later, Zhang Che saw what he wanted.
The horns of a seven-star silver-quality Arch-Horned Worm! Its elasticity was close to three thousand kilograms. The elasticity of the ribs of a six-star gold-quality exotic beast barely met Zhang Che's own requirements, at around two thousand kilograms.
Speaking of which, there were still some of the Titan Python's rib bones in the Purple Crystal Tortoise's spatial pocket. It was also a top-grade material for crafting into bow limbs.
Regrettably, however, the Titan Python was a six-star dark gold-quality exotic beast. A bow that was made using its ribs for the limbs would be one that neither Zhang Che nor the frisky monkey could draw right now.
Zhang Che could only look forward to the day when his arms could draw ten thousand kilograms. At that time, he could use the Titan Python's rib bones to make a genuine super-strong bow!
A super-strong bow with ten thousand kilograms draw weight; would the arrows it fired break through the sound barrier, going supersonic?
Zhang Che thought it was very possible. When he used the Fallen Star bow in the past, the speed of its arrows were already not far from the speed of sound.
Although it shouldn't be as easy as he imagined to close the gap between "nearing the sound of speed" to actually breaking through it, a super strong bow with ten thousand kilograms draw weight, together with specially made arrows, should be able to accomplish the feat, right?
Thinking of that, his anticipation grew even deeper.
Of course, being able to draw ten thousand kilograms wasn't something he could accomplish in the short term. Gods knew how much more exotic beast meat he had to eat before he could finally do it, unless he was lucky and managed to steal another bunch of things like the Poison Fire Twin-Headed Dragon's eggs to consume...
However, that was entirely up to chance. Most exotic beasts treated their eggs like they were more important than life itself. How could he find them so easily?
Zhang Che shook his head to himself. It was better to focus on making his bows for now. Future matters should be left for next time. When fate called, naturally he'd find what he needed.
Although the three wares were only materials, they cost Zhang Che the huge sum of close to ten million dollars in the end. Naturally his account didn't have that much money. He didn't dare to use the money in Sun Che's account, either. Otherwise, wouldn't others find out he was related to Sun Che once they investigated him?
Fortunately, Zhang Che had loads of beast cards. After learning that he could barter, he directly took out two four-star silver-quality beast cards and exchanged them for the materials he wanted.
---
After purchasing the materials, Zhang Che and Huang Tielan headed to a nearby large company that manufactured weapons. Similarly, he used a four-star silver-quality beast card in exchange for them crafting two recurve bows for him.
As the specifications for the bows Zhang Che wanted were too high, the craftsmen informed him that they needed five days to finish the job.
------
During the next five days, other than accompanying his mother at home, Zhang Che was almost inseparable from Miss Tienan, shopping through all of Bei Du City and buying all sorts of things.
After that experience with buying materials for his bows, Zhang Che purposefully went to look for a beast card store and sold off all the beast cards below gold-quality he had obtained during his latest trip to the beast world. The balance in his account instantly broke through the hundred million dollar milestone. With that, he wouldn't have to worry about money matters for a very long time to come.
Of course, as for those items that he couldn't buy with money, Zhang Che had no need for them for now. When the time came that he needed them, he still had over a ton worth of scarlet meteorite ores, which could be exchanged for over twenty million purple crystal points. That was also an incredibly vast amount of wealth on its own.
During those five days, Zhang Che wasn't idling around at night, either. Huang Juyun gave him an encrypted chip which contained lots of information unavailable to ordinary beastmasters, greatly benefiting him.
In particular, information about the drop rate of beast cards!
Zhang Che realized that his theories from before were true. Once an exotic beast's level and quality reached a certain tier, they were sure to drop a beast card.
There were two thresholds to this. One was a mid-tier gold-quality exotic beast, and the other was a dark gold-quality exotic beast. Exotic beasts that met either of the requirements were sure to drop a beast card.
This made Zhang Che understand why his luck was so good, and he had obtained beast cards from all the powerful exotic beasts he had encountered.
In addition, Zhang Che also obtained systemic information regarding an exotic beast's quality, skills and other relevant information for the first time.
First was innate attributes. Exotic beasts had to be silver-quality at minimum to have an attribute, and gold-quality beasts were sure to have them.
Second was skills. Exotic beasts had to reach at least gold-quality to have a skill, and dark gold-quality beasts were sure to have one. Also, there was a chance for legend-quality beasts to have two skills, while epic-quality beasts had two skills for sure.
Third was a Halo. Exotic beasts had to reach dark gold-quality at minimum to have a Halo, and legend-quality beasts were sure to have a Halo attribute.
Fourth concerned epic-quality exotic beasts, which Zhang Che never had any information on before. There was a chance for epic-quality beasts to have a False Domain.
The range and effects of a False Domain were far superior to a Halo, and unlike Halo effects, which were almost all supportive in nature, False Domains mostly contained super strong effects that were both offensive and defensive in nature.
This immediately reminded Zhang Che of the giant stone man he had encountered. The gravity field from back then affecting him and the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was probably the False Domain of that giant stone man.
Its effects were truly beyond powerful; he had almost failed to escape!
At the same time, Zhang Che also learned a piece of information that was very relevant to him.
That was… under normal circumstances, a low-tier exotic beast could only reach dark gold-quality at the most, while mid-tier exotic beasts could only reach epic-quality at best.
This gave Zhang Che a huge headache. Although many of his subdued beasts and pets could reach a quality tier exceeding epic-quality in the end, they were unable to break free from the constraints of their levels.
With no way to bypass the level restriction, even if he had the rainbow crystal, there was no way he could circumvent this rule. After all, it was a law of the beast world itself.
-I can only hope for my Miss Tienan to become a skilled beast card cultivator soon,- Zhang Che sighed inwardly. -I have to learn more about the spiritual herbs and cultivation ingredients if I want my subdued beasts and pets to grow to the limits of their potential.
-Otherwise, if I happened to chance upon the required ingredients to improve them and yet missed them due to my lack of knowledge, wouldn't that be a huge loss?-
His brain hurt just thinking about it. No matter if it was this life or the last, Zhang Che was no good at studying at all. Asking him to memorize a library's worth of knowledge and pictures, in addition to applying this knowledge for practical use, and from there, analyzing and researching the newly discovered spiritual herbs and ingredients' attributes, was truly an insurmountable task.
Alas, there was no choice. If he didn't want his subdued beasts and pets to be stuck at a bottleneck someday, Zhang Che had to work hard, as if his life depended on it!


The world experienced a cataclysmic change, and countless spatial gateways appeared out of thin air.
Exotic beasts of all shapes and sizes swarmed out of those aforementioned spatial gateways, forcing the humans to face the crucial moment for their survival.
In order to search for a chance at survival, brave warriors from the army and scientific researchers risked their lives and entered the world beyond the spatial gateways. To their surprise, they discovered that there was a chance of obtaining beast cards by killing these exotic beasts in their world.
Those with extraordinary spiritual strength are able to utilize the beast cards, perhaps transforming the cards into the beasts’ combat bodies while they were still alive, or transforming them into weapons or defensive gears, or...
A new occupation came into existence following the changes, known as beastmasters.
A transcender with two souls fused into one found himself in this magnificent new world full of waves, rising step by step as he ascends into the seat of a godly beastmaster.

The Proxi shop was quickly filled with a group of enthusiast and quickly lined up in front of the counter as they inquired about the data map from Bu One.



"What exactly is the da...ta map?"

"Dude, where exactly do you get the pause from."



Everyone laughed at the comedian duo that always fought whenever one of them would say that word.


"Allow me to explain, it's just like a map that can pinpoint your location as long the area is within the data and the size of the data map makes it very convenient to carry around, Oh and I almost forgot, It can also show the locations of monsters and herbs."



The android was very good at getting the crowd all hyped out after downloading dozen of speech into its own database.



"What!? How is that possible?"

"Everything is possible here!"



Bu One added a few more things about the map, saying that one could draw out an unknown area into the map themselves with the flare device that was already in the store since it first opened.


"Not only you can share the data by simply putting your data map beside each other, but we will also pay with gold for your newly discovered area if it's deemed useful."


Bu One pointed at the black circle that was hung on the wooden side of the wall.


"That is an update station, you can simply go there and put 10 silvers to have your map updated with the latest news and location."

"Then does that mean that I will get more gold if I up...load a da...ta of an area filled with treasures?"

"Correct, 100,1000 or 100000 gold won't even be a problem, even uploading trees, herbs and rocks counts, but cannot upload twice."


Bu One made it clear that almost everything could be scanned and uploaded with their data map device for the money.


"What!?"



With everyone venturing within the northern lands for minerals mine and treasure tombs, most of them did not dare to go deeper or alone but now that they had the option to exchange their knowledge for gold while remaining anonymous.



'I can get rich without risking my life!'

'If I upload the map... Then I don't have to worry about being betrayed and go through the trouble to hire a middle-man.'


'I must upload those herbs first!'



Some of the adventurers were afraid to risk their lives unlike most of them who wanted the map for other reasons and in the end, everyone who was in the shop bought a data map before happily leaving through the door.



After a few hours of the initial sale during the morning, Bu One showed Nodus the amount of gold they made during the early morning which was the least busy time of the day.



"It was a huge success as expected."

"It's decent, I will have to expand the shop outside of the city so prepare those drones."



The data map was sold for 1 gold each, and with the constant update that everyone would buy every day for 10 silvers that give even more income, Nodus could finally be at ease for the moment and focus on his own strength since his initial plan was a success.

He could now leave the task to the adventurers or merchants to roam around the entire lands to draw out the map instead of doing it himself and each single data map had a tracking chip in it to help his future plan that is related with the drones.


Before more people would arrive during the late sunrise, Nodus decided to go back home and met Lulu instead who was staring at the new object that was in Bu One's hand as he explained to another batch of customers.



"Lulu."

"Big brother Nodus! I finished the missions and came to find you."



The little girl ran toward Nodus and greeted the two ladies behind him before they left the store.



"Let's go, Sasha."



The big leopard flew out of the ceiling gate and landed beside the car, scaring everybody off the streets as they retreated to the side of the buildings and stalls.



"I wonder if they are awake now and congratulations on the data map big brother, it's such a useful tool to have."

"Mhmm, you have it too on your device."

"I can't wait!"



Lulu leaned against the chair as Nodus drove the car along the streets and was suddenly blocked by a carriage that was pulled by a green tiger.




Lulu felt like she seen this beast somewhere until she pictured the frying pan exploding after the woman cracked open an egg on it.

"Ah!..-Flower?"

Helena noticed her pet sniffing around the low vehicle and saw the emblem on the front of the car.



"That brand...-Teacher?!"

"It's sister Helena!"



Lulu lowered her window and called out her name.



"Little sis Lulu! And teacher!!?"

*Instrum is fat*

After an intense galactic battle, Nodus, the strongest mystic esper found himself in an unfamiliar world filled with many unknown species. 
Thank god there are humans here... candles, stone houses...? Their technology seems to be... nonexistent...but flying on a sword and magical relics is normal? What kind of ancient world is this?

She shuffled her way through the throng of women gathered by the watering wells. Though their buckets were full, they refused to go back into their houses, staying back to catch the latest snippets of gossip. She chose to ignore all she heard, focusing instead on the water she began to draw out. Azaida sighed, the nights had grown warmer as a reminder of the harsh summer that was sure to bring about a severe drought. She wondered how they'd manage this year, aunt Nora would no sooner give herself up to Seth himself than allow her niece to summon water from the sphere's core. The nearest city to Kar-Kuzlam was Der Huon, which lay a good 500 miles east. No one in their right mind would travel that far in hopes of looking for water they may store up to face the impending drought. Maybe if she was gone long enough, her aunt would believe she'd actually made the trip. 
Rising from where she sat crouched checking her bucket, she began to haul her cargo back home. Taking her usual route through the town square, she noticed a crowd of onlookers gathered to witness what seemed like a harmless exchange between a weary traveler and two extremely tall figures garbed in black robes. Azaida cringed inwardly, the Lovak usually stuck to surveillance of the village perimeter; what had roused their interest so much as to follow a traveler into the town square? She craned her neck in futile hopes to catch the conversation, all she heard was the traveler, who seemed unusually calm given his sticky situation. 
'You have every right to check my satchel, sir. I only ask this; if I were a thief, would I dare march into a village in broad daylight and let you do so? Or have you another concern?' He arched an eyebrow.
His defiant attitude shocked her, was he not afraid of what those treacherous creatures could do to him? The robed figures immersed themselves in a discussion of their own, regarding the man with wary eyes. 'Stand sssssssstill' they said in unison, their voices, though they rang out clearly, resembled the hiss of a snake. 
The hair at her nape prickled and grew cold with sweat, a sickening feeling grew in the pit of her stomach. She turned away, making her way home using an alternate route as inconspicuous as possible. She had never witnessed a slaughter, nor was she about to willingly stand by idly while a helpless soul was devoured by those foul beings.

There exists an alternate universe, where evil is rampant and those willing to stand up to their cause are few. The sphere of sand has fallen into the hands of Seth the conquerer, who seeks to rule the realm by laying waste to all those who oppose his rule. Will the darkness he wrought prevail? Or will there finally come a time where one may walk in the light again?
