The chandelier stirring, Rose tiptoes out of her room and under the baby dawn. Its light warm on her eyes, nourishing to her hair, she slides past Akuma (sleeping on the sofa with a blanket hugging him) and Sao (slouched with his eyes closed on one of the chairs). She reaches the bathroom door and opens it, gently lowering the handle to silent the click as she slips inside the space.
Her hand fidgets by the door, feeling her fingers around the switch, turning on the light where a chrome bath with rose gold petalled around the edges in sprinkles. Through them she trails her fingertips forming a meandering river. She follows the river to the tap, which she twists letting down a steaming waterfall. She lifts her feet from the grating drains over the bath and her river into the boiling water, jolting back her leg as she blocks a scream at her mouth. Seating down on the edge, smudging her river into a marsh, she inspects the bottom of her feet, the marks of the drain faint as red diamonds on her golden skin. On her hand her foot feels rougher than it used to, canyons formed from a prairie. She turns on the icy water and waits.
The light feels dark.
Realising she had forgotten she locks the door and leans up against it. She closes her eyes, but the light feels brighter – when she opens them it feels dark again.
Sleep stays in the corner of her eyes. Clamping the bridge of her nose between her fingers, she draws out the sleep. Yellow lumps – they revolt her. She paces to the sink and washes away the sleep.
Dryness irritates her eyes. She rubs them sore, running water over her fingers and rubbing her eyes again. Droplets trickle down the side of her cheeks but her reflection in the mirror harshens her glare. The more it harshens the more the reflections blurs. It smudges and softens until she sees herself once more, except the reflection is of a young girl, eight or nine, looking back, cursing behind its smile. The image blurs again, and when it returns it's her father banging his fists on the mirror with eyebrows like arrows, their poison dripping beside his nose in clear droplets. Rose spectates unresponsive to the mirror's torments. The mirror blurs again and again, revealing a new old face, from her butler and maids to the faces she would see in the village, but with each one their faces become blander, missing specific details, and towards the end, faces appeared with no nose, no mouth, no eyes, until a final face is shown. It's empty: skin grey without any facial features. Assuming it to be mocking her, Rose looks deeper, trying to piece together a face, but dirt begins to fill the mirror, sounds of horse wailing, wood cracking, meat gushing and bones crunching. Rose panics backwards, tripping her knee on the toilet and thumping to the ground. Her vision dances to jazz and the mirror shatters, the figure crawling out as dirt falls from their shoulders. Its limbs wrench: the elbows and flat chest point towards Rose while its knees and face point away; its back begins to crack and it snaps backwards, its empty face locked on Rose. It resets itself, everything facing where it should and the signs of stretching disappearing. Then, after staring for a moment, it takes a step forward. Then, it takes another. Then another. Another. Right foot, left foot. Right foot, left foot. Right. Left. Right. Left. Then it stumbles, gathering itself – Rose left frozen, clinging to the bath – before resuming its walk. 
As it nears Rose backs herself further into the corner between the wall and the bath. The kicking of her legs edges her way further up the wall as it reaches out its hand to Rose's cheek. Jolting her head away, Rose falls into the water, now freezing, throwing her head upwards heaving for breath, eyes shot open, water trickling down her face. Spiralling back, it's gone. The mirror is fixed, and the floor is clean. The water tumbles over the sides of the bath and washes itself down the drain.
Still in her nightgown, Rose crawls out the bath and takes it off, wrapping a blue towel around her and turning off the taps. 
Knock. Knock.
"Are you okay in there?" Sao asks.
"I'm fine," answers Rose. "I'll be out in a minute."
Rose pulls the plug on the bath, picks up her nightgown, bursts open the door and rushes to her room.

Some time in the not-so distant future, humanity achieves the latest step in its evolution: T.E.R.R.A., a man-made world to create a space for business, commerce, art, and culture. Sao, a man with nothing left to see in the real world, spends almost all his days in T.E.R.R.A. where he gets caught up with his fantasy, until reality comes to bring him back.
During his time he meets Hannah, a girl who captures his eye due to the petal birthmark on her neck. She is a native, a child of T.E.R.R.A., but only the humans know the difference. To her, they both live equally. To him, she takes him further from home.
The time comes when her life is in danger, but when her life could lead to a fate far worse than death for Sao, can he separate the fake from the real.

she opened her eyes and woke with a handsome man besides her  and really loved her very much.

am I still dreaming? it seems so real ? 

lewei: " Yan "

he caught her attention and she looked at him.

she was froze. he was really sweet. he was making her heart to beat fast.

lewei: " honey.... please say something. "

she was froze and couldn't say anything.

Yan pov.

lewei: " you want to kiss again? "

huh!!! kiss again?

I don't know what to say when he suddenly pressed his lips into mine . after a while he stopped kissing and he look into my eyes again.

lewei: " Yan.... I want to stay here on the bed with you but I think we need to take a bath and put some clothes..... remember!!! we are naked.

yes I remember that I don't have any clothes and he also.

I wonder why?

oh no... w-wait... I think I know why but I need to confirm this to him.

Yan: " lewei " 

lewei: " yes... my love... what is it!!?.... "

I don't know if I'm going to ask him this. I am really shy

Yan: " did we do something steamy last night?  " 

lewei smirked. I think I'm right.

lewei: " yes " 

I blushed hard.

lewei: " Yan.... remember... we are trying to have a baby....

I really don't have any idea of what is happening right now. I just nodded to him.

lewei: " we are not doing this things for fun but we are doing this because we love each other and we are waiting to have a baby. honey...  I told you to stop playing.

I am not playing I just don't know what is happening. I think I need to act like I am playing to know everything.

Yan: " honey... please bare with me... I just want to play with you. please.... please....

he looked at me and smirked.

lewei: " alright!!! my queen. if that is what you want.

queen??? we are already in 21st century.  anyway I need to look like his wife.

lewei: " honey... we need to get up... you need to eat a nutritious food. I need to take care of you more. "

I'm really surprised how caring this man is. then I saw him got up. he doesn't have any clothes. I immediately put the blanket to cover my face.

lewei: " yan!!! where are you covering your face. "

                      oh no ....

Yan: " huh? ahahahahahah!!!!! I'm just playing.... just ignore me.... take a bath and put your clothes on.... alright!!?

I'm nervous.... I'm not ready to see a naked body.

lewei: " alright!!! " 

I sensed him removing the blanket over him and walked on the floor. I heard the bathroom door closed. I removed the blanket on my face and signed....
 I sat down and looked around.... 
definitely not in my room anymore. 
what happened?
 I really can't understand. I stood up and walked covering myself with a blanket...

 wait....
 there is something familiar here....

I saw the old mirror that I brought that day. what I did is to climb to the top of the table and check every corner of the mirror.

Yan: " maybe this is a secret door or something? " I am poking the mirror but nothing happened. " maybe i need to say a magic word? " 

so I spent my time thinking of magic words that I learned from the movies.

Yan: 

1st attempt: " abra.... cadabrahh!!! "

I am waiting for the mirror to respond but nothing happen maybe the mirror once a magic word from Harry potter.

okay... let me try...

2nd  attempt: " wingardium ... levisa!!! "

still nothing happened... think Yan...

3rd attempt: " aloho mora!!! " 
4th attempt: " expelliarmus!!! "
5th attempt: " flipendo!!! "
6th attempt: " expetro patronum!!! " 

think yu Yan think.... oh yeah!!! 

Yan: " Shaa kaa laa kaa buum buum "

still nothing happens.... hmmm... maybe this wants  some old style like in the snow white movie... okay let me try...

Yan: " mirror... mirror on the wall... who is - " 

???: " what are you doing ? " 

huh!!! I am not yet done but the mirror already spoke to me... so I leaned my head to the mirror to hear more words.

Yan: " hello... hello ... voice testing... mirror... hello Mr. mirror ... please speak to me... I want to go back to where I belong.... " 

then suddenly

???: " Yan ? "

my eyes widened. this mirrors is really responding to me.

yan: " yes... yes .. you are right... I'm Yan... " 

then I heard some words again.

???: " what are you doing in the mirror? " 

what am I doing in the mirror? w-wait!!! it is not the mirror who is speaking...

Yan: " what the hell..." 

I whispered .... then I slowly turned my head on the other side and saw lewei . i smiled with an uneasy feeling. 

[ ***RR***: he was wondering what she was doing here at the top of the table. HAHA!!!  this is really funny .... ] 
[ a/n : oh my god!!! will you please stop popping up... you scared the goat out of me ]
[ ***RR***:  ok ok I'm sorry... im mute!!! ziip!! ]

lewei: " what is wingardium leviosa!!?? " 

oh please... this is embarrassing...

Yan: " ahmmm.... I just learnt it from Harry- " this is really embarrassing.

lewei: " who is Harry? " 

oh no... he is serious...

Yan: " ahmmm... you know.. ahmmm " help me god...

lewei: " oh... Harry... oh okay!!! "  he smiled

Yan : " yesss... Harry.... "

I slightly laughed then I looked at the side... who is he talking about? I only know only one Harry in my life and that is Harry potter. I think he already got it. then I turned around to face him and smiled. then I just noticed something from lewei.

Yan: " why are you dressed like that? " 

then I saw him looked at himself.

lewei: " why? you don't like it ? " 

I slightly laughed...

Yan: " no... no... you have a good taste... are you going to a party? " 

he dressed like from the ancient time. maybe there's a party later.

lewei: " yes but just a small celebrate. " 

oh I see but why is it like this? anyway... I want to take a bath now. I was about to go down when he suddenly reached for my hand. this man is really a gentleman. he is really caring. 

then suddenly, he carried me.

Yan: " hey ... hey ... what are you doing? "  I blushed so hard.

lewei: " please Yan... don't climb at the top of the table. it's dangerous...

I just nodded to him and smiled but I'm trying to hide it... he started walking towards a door which may be the bathroom .... and as he opened it with his hand it was really a bathroom... he put me down...

lewei: " alright!!! take a bath now to refresh yourself... " 

then I saw him get some clothes for me.

Yan: " are we going to a wedding? " 

he gave me a white gown.

lewei: " no... what are you talking about? " 

oh no... he might suspect me.

Yan: " I'm just kidding... I will take a bath now... " I pushed him outside and closed the bathroom door.

---------------------++++------------------

lewei pov.

lewei: " who is Harry? " 

there's no Harry here in the castle. I just acted like I know Harry but truly.... I don't know him .

lewei: " does my wife still love me? she's kind of rejecting me... and she's talking about Harry that taught her some words that I didn't heard before...." 

I feel really jealous right now.

I need to watch her carefully. some guy might snatch her from me. 

-------+-+++++++-----------

the old mirror : do you want to find love? 

it's the story of a girl. pass mistakes took her back. love from the past. will she be able to change her fate which she did. a love , a mistake, an undo and a travel.

I was just waking up and adjusting my eyes to the light of the sun, blinking slowly thinking about why I always wake up this early...ahhhh I took my breath slowly...breathing all the Fresh air I could,as I really needed it.
"Good morning princess " Lina said 
Lina is my personal maid...she is one of the purest people in my life, and I really like her.
Although she is always the one who wakes me up from my dear and lovely sleep...just like now.
" morning Lina"
Lina always open up the curtains to let the sun rays in the room by 5 in the morning....and that  is really way too early but I knew that neither I or her could do anything about it...it is just one of the things that is sticking with me for the rest of my life.
" which scent do you want for your morning bath  princess " lina asked
" white roses and lavender...but don't make it bubbly " 
"okay, should I add some relaxing herbs "
"yeah I guess I really need it for this long day "
"I will prepare it right away "
I sink my head into the comfortable pillow again while lina prepares the bath and I think about the schedule lined up for me today...and I feel the headache coming.
" the bath is ready princess "
"thank you lina "
" what would you like for breakfast today your highness "
" mmmm...I am not craving anything, so I will go with whatever you make.... but do bring me coffe with breakfast "
" yes,your highness"
"you can go now " 
lina left my room and I went into the bathroom to take my bath....I was about to remove my nightgown when the mirror caught my eyes, I looked to the stranger in the mirror, through those eyes which had never seen anything that makes them passionate.
I kept looking for a while not realizing that a tear has already escaped my eyes. It sank to me that with every passing day a part of me dies....the more the days pass the less I recognise myself.
" i guess at some point we will turn to ashes "
I said to the saddened eyes in the mirror

"Do you hate me " I asked her not sure I want to hear the answer she has for me 

"I hate everything and everyone that has anything to do with Rucubia, and you have a lot to do with them" she answered and I couldn't find anything in her eyes that said she is lying.

"But I don't do anything to hurt Rucubia or it's people, because it has nothing to do with my hate, only four people do, from whom two are already dead,but I wouldn't advise you to test my patience, because it's already running out." 

Two seconds more and she would lose control, and I know she know it just as mush as she knows that I know it. so she quickly turned around going back in the hall.
 
But I saw it.....her eyes....her single tear....her pain...and I know it...she is hurting
and then I realized it......Although she is angry, but she is hurting so much more that the pain even covered the anger in her eyes. 

" Why are you hurting so much Acelina...would you ever tell me" I whispered to myself as I stared at her back while she was walking away from me.
_________

she hated him with all her heart while he loved her with his...

Could she ever defeat her demons and let go of the hatred that stoned her heart?!

would she lose herself while seeking her revenge?

Lee Areum POV

Suddenly something caught my eye. I saw a body length mirror beside my bed.


Wow! She is so pretty!


I look at the girl in the mirror. If only I could be that pretty☺. 


I was busy lokking at the girl when I realised... ITS A MIRROR! 


I stumbled down my bed and scurried to the mirror. I waved my hand and the girl also waved her hand!



WHAT??? THIS IS ME???? WHAT THE HELL???😱😱😱😱 Even if I become this pretty, this is still creepy!!!


'My' mouth was wide open and both 'my' hands are on 'my' head.


This is not me😭😭😭


***

After a while, I calmed down.


I bite my nails as I try to figure out what happened to me.


I was just drinking soju, then i sleep, then I woke up, then THIS HAPPEN😫😫😫😫😫. Wait... where is my phone? I could call Bomi Eun Ae and the others!


I searched my phone. I checked under the blanket, under the bed, inside the drawers, etc. But....there is none😭.


What should I do now???


Suddenly somebody knocked the door. The door opened and revealed a woman in maid's clothing.


"I see that you have woken up."


"Y-yes" I said as I forced a smile on my face.


That woman looks quite.....old.....😬. She looks like those typical old, strict, ladies in the movies😂. Well no offense...



"I am Veronica, and I am the head maid."


"Oh! Um.. Nice to meet you!" I said while reaching out my hand to shake her hand.

She looked at my hand and only bowed a little, then she said, "The doctor will arrive shortly, would you please go back to the bed so that the doctor could check on you?" 



"O-oh! Yes, sorry..." I pulled back my hand and went up to the bed.


***

Some time passed and the doctor arrived. He checked my pulse and ask me questions.


"Do you feel nauseous?"


"No" 

Then he wrote something on a piece of paper.

"Do your head hurt?"

"No"

"Is there any part of your body that hurt?"

"No"

"If you feel dizzy or anything please call me. Thank you." the doctor said and went out of the room.



Well....thats fast...



"Looks like that you are done with your check up. Now its time for your bath." She clapped her hands and 3 other maids came rushing into my room. Then Veronica went out.


"Nice to meet you, my Lady. My name is Blair." said the maid with glasses.


"And I am Diana" said the maid beside Blair.


"And lastly I am Jessica." said the maid with freckles.


"We will be helping you take a bath." They say, then bowed.



They look nice, I think we could get along....☺They will be helping me take a bath....Wait... What??? They will 'help' me take a bath??? NO WAY! DON'T THESE PEOPLE KNOW THE WORD PRIVACY????

"I need more references."
Yeah, it seems like my hunch was right.
Immediately backing away from her I look at her with fear and respect.
(T-this is the power of an Illustrator... They will surely get their reference no matter what even if they had to attend school again. No, there is something I forgot that I just remember now.)
There is more than that than being an illustrator!
Looking at it back then she always looks at me every time I went out to go to school.
YES! I remember it now.
(My mom loves girl high school students!)
Don't tell me that...
She just attends here because she misses seeing high school girls!?
This is unbelievable. Truly absurd.
Holding my head from the pain of his unreasonable answer I went straight back to my sit to take some time for me to cool my head off.
*Uwahh...* I should have expected that.
In the end, the break time has done and I forgot to take on my lunch.
Having my mind focus on the lectures while bearing the stress from what my mom had said and complained of my stomach from hunger, the school ended badly.
****************
Leaving the school grounds I quickly go back home.
Usually, I would hang around my friends after I leave school but I was too exhausted from the scenes that happened this day.
"Eh? You're going home?"
"Yeah, sorry, I feel tired that I'm about to fall into my knees if I lose focus."
"I see... Well then take care, okay? If you feel sick tell so that I could tell 'Yagoo' that you will postpone your stream tonight."
"Ah yeah... Please do."
"See you later."
"Yeah..."
I wave my hand as I walk away from my friends.
Their face is foreshadowed for some reason maybe because it's still not their time to show up yet... Well, whatever...
While I walk back to my home I gaze at the sky thinking the things that happened.
It was quite a ruckus but it's also fun.
I slip some small laugh as I think the scenarios.
As I laugh I heard a small angelic giggle from my back.
Oh crap, I forgot!
Quickly looking at my back I saw my mother giggling covering her mouth to hide his laughter.
"Ah! Ka-chan I'm sorry I forgot about you about a moment!"
"Hahaha... No, it's fine. It's my fault anyway that I appeared at your school without telling you."

We both continue our walk on the way home while we continue our talk.
"Since when did you plan all of this, Ka-chan?"
"Let's see, hmm... I think about two months ago."
"Ha!? Why did I not know any of that?"
"Hehehe... Well, it's a surprise so I carefully hide it from you. I'm more surprised that you didn't notice any strange happened inside the house for two months."
"What noticed?"
"Like when the time I try to wear your uniform?"
"Huh? I didn't know any of that."
"Then it's nothing, I take it back."
" Geez! Ka-chan!"
We continued our talk and as always I'm the one who always got teased.
************
Reaching home I immediately went to bath. 
I'm exhausted from the things that happened earlier that my body craves for the hot long bath. 
Nothing is better than relaxing in the bath. 
"Oy Subaru! The dishes!" 
"Ah I forgot sorry but I'll do that later!"
"Seriously... What a kid." Ka-chan decided to wash the dishes with irritation showing in her face as she let me aside from the dishes that I forgot. 
Ka-chan continued; "Just this once, okay?" 
"Okay!" 
Going inside the bath I remove my uniform. 
Bringing my hands to my white skirt to bring it down my yellow panties has been reflected in the mirror without me noticing. 
After putting my skirt in the laundry basket I put hands next onto my sailor uniform. 
I bring my hands up as I drag away my uniform away from my clothes as I put it in the laundry basket. 
I was about to remove my underwear but I notice my reflection from the mirror. 
Subaru decided to look at her body as she forgot her exhaustion for a moment. 
I try to do a little pose and do a little peace sign with a bright smile. [While in yellow underwear.]
*Screech* Sound of door screeching. 
"!? Subaru what are yo doing?" 
Before I could turn my head Ka-chan already saw what I am doing. 
She is already naked as her small body is showing openly at the door. We are only two living in the house so she won't need to mind about it because we are both girls. 
I quickly went away from the mirror and pretend to do nothing related to the mirror. 
"Ha? W-what do you mean, Ka-chan?!"
"Hmm... Nothing. I want to go to the bath now so let me join." 
Ka-chan knew what I am doing but she ignores it and immediately went into the bath before me. 
I quickly remove my underwear and went after her. 
Ka-chan asks me to let her wash my back so I accepted it. 
Looks like I cannot rest here inside the bath because of her but I guess it's fine since she's my mom. 
As Ka-chan wash my back she talks to me out of nowhere. 
"You look cute in your pose earlier, Subaru."
As she said it my face turns into full red in embarrassment. 
Just when I thought she would not tease me. 
"*Geez* Ka-chan!" 
"Hahaha but it's cute though..." 
"Please don't talk about it anymore!" 
"Hahaha yeah yeah." 
Her giggles are sweet to my ears and this is the reason why I forgive her easily. 
Looking at it... In just the a single day I receive these tons of surprises that my heart can't handle. 
What will happen in these following days I wonder? 
Surely this will disaster. 
And so my life with my mom as my classmate starts. 
How could I summarize all of this? Let's see... Ah! I know!
'My mother was a high school dropout, but she needs to finish her diploma so we're in the same class!'

Original Picture w/o edit: https://twitter.com/ui_shig/status/1233673740581359616?s=21

It has been a day since i came back and I have been forced to take bed rest by my parents. I tried convincing them that i was healthy as a horse. What can I say; they were not convinced at all. I woke up early in the morning by the bright sunlight shinning through my window blinds. I walked towards the window and was greeted by a magnificent view of a forest of giant trees everywhere. I am guessing this is the back side of the palace and the one i saw was the outskirt village near the entrance of the castle. I still can't believe that the entire castle is carved out of a giant tree. I tired putting my head out the window to take look at the magnificent tree, its trunks as big as an entire city and taller than the clouds. I still could not see the top of the tree hidden between the clouds, that how big it was.
Knocking of the door brought me out of my reverie. "Your highness; Do you need any assistance" came a maid's voice. I really wanted to take a bath to wash off the sweat so I ordered her to prepare for it. I rushed to the bedside table and wore my veil as I usually did. After all I did promise my mom never to show my face to anyone. 
A hot herbal bath was prepared in no time. The maids prepared an herbal and aromatic rose bath with fresh rose petals floating on top. After readying the towels all of them left the bathroom bowing their head. I stripped out of my slacks and my shirt and stood in front of a long mirror set near the bath. I was indeed a little boy; i had a very small figure for a ten year old though. What surprised me the most was that my face looked seventy percent similar to my actual face. Face too feminine to be male. 
I stepped into the warm bath, the temperature was just right. I felt some of the ingredients in the bath soothing my tired mind. 'Transmigration is extremely tiresome to your soul ah' I thought as I started dozing off in my bath. I woke up in a start when water started filling my lungs and I felt like I was drowning. Struggling, I surface the bath water gasping for breath with my mouth wide open coughing violently. "Ahh,  I almost drowned myself" eyes wide trying to calm my beating heart.
I quickly get out of my bath and get dressed in my black slacks and white shirt kept in the corner. There was also another box with some patterns. "These patterns... I have seen them before" I turned the box side to side trying to remember where I've seen it . It just looked like a normal rubrics cube size with strange patters. "Ah ha got it. This looks similar to my veil box" i exclaim in joy. Opening the box i found a small black mask made of flexible fabric. "Hmm this one looks very different from my veil. Maybe it's a face mask! Let me try it on" deciding i try to wear it on my face. Magically the mask moulds on my face as if sensing my fine contours. I ran and looked at myself in front of the mirror. The black mask had cover my entire face including my eyes; only shape of my straight nose and my plump lips were seen. "Oh my, it feels like a one way mirror. I can see myself but others can't see me. My vision also seems much clearer than the white veil cloth. I love it" I say to my reflection. I weirdly feel like a spy. And it exited me.
"Eru are you in there? Have you finished your bath?" came my mother's voice from outside the door. "Coming" I said as I ran to the bathroom door with my short legs.  
"Oh you decided to wear your new mask; it looks good on you dear" my mom smiled as i opened the door. Pinching my chubby cheeks she said "Your father has prepared a training plan for you to start strengthening your defences. I know that you have forgotten all the training you have had before but you body will retain that memory for you.  All we need to do is to awaken that" she said leading me to my wardrobe. "I have prepared your training gear in here" as she point to a chainmail and a riding suit in my wardrobe. She pushed me lightly towards my bed "As for now, you need to take a lot of rest to boast your strength". I noticed a breakfast table with steaming porridge and some jujubes on my bed. 'Bed and Breakfast. What a life' i grinned. My mother left quickly after urging me to eat. After eating my breakfast I really did fall asleep.  
Another room in the royal palace:
"Your highness according to the ancient scrolls there is a way to retain your highness the prince's memory. The Therilium flower found in the deeper parts of Haebar Mountain has the magical property of being able to bring back even memories of our past life.  I am definite that this could completely cure the prince your highness" said the head healer Gaius in an exited tone towards the royal pair. 
They nodded looking at each other agreeing that this was wise decision. "Head Healer Gaius take some of the kings guards and set out for your journey" he ordered. Gaius bowed and said "it is my honour to serve the royals, your highness" in a joyful tone and rushed to prepare for his journey.
Next day the royal firmly received the unfortunate news that Gaius had sadly passed away in a land slide when searching for the Therilium flower.  The king and the queen ordered all th maids to keep this news a secret from the prince. Such heart breaking news will only break the prince's good mood.
"Gaius the healer shall deserve royal funeral and his remains shall be scattered in the scared river of Nevada. Arrange thousand gold coins to be gifted to the family member of Gaius and a guarantee work in the palace." The king ordered his Royal knight. "This.... Your highness, Gaius only has a grandson who is 13 years old. We cannot let a minor take responsibly of such a big reward without a guardian's assistance" The royal guard hesitantly said to the king.  
The king looked at his wife for assistance. The queen nodded and said "Arrange for Gaius's grandson to be my sons study partner. He shall grow with the prince under our guidance" the queen relayed her wishes to the guard. The knight's guards were overjoyed by the queen's kindness and thanked them repeatedly for their help.

"Is death really the end of my journey. How was I fated to die by this darn Covid19" cried Ambai.

"Death is never the end, its only the beginning" a voice said.

"I'll give you a choice because your soul is special. Stay here as a soul, protecting your family or move on for your next birth. Which option do you choose?" Said the same annoying baby voice.

"Okay I've decided, I'll be choosing both options" Ambai said squinting her eyes.

"Remember you chose this, it's your decision, so take responsibility for it" said the voice as it faded.

And this is how Ambai's life ended and began.

Love Lullabybao

The morning was when Zhou Zhenya's chores began. She would first sweep the floor, then proceed to mop it, after which she would take a bath. 

She would then cook lunch, sufficient for her parents and herself. As she did this same routine morning after morning for a year already, she was already used to it. 

At first, she complained incessantly to her parents about their laziness, thinking that since they didn't do much at home, they were the same at their workplace. 

As her parents were childish, they actually showed off all the work they did, making Zhou Zhenya take back what she said. 

In the Zhou house, just in the bathroom would a mirror be seen. Since Zhou Zhenya didn't feel the urge to go to the bathroom before now, only when she took a bath would she see her transformation.

After Zhou Zhenya finished her chores, she headed to the bathroom to bathe. She opened the door and looked around, not seeing the mirror anywhere. The mirror was on the wall behind the door, so it was no surprise to her that she didn't see it.

Closing the door, she finally saw the sole mirror in the Zhou house. 

"Who?"

Zhou Zhenya didn't recognize the person in the mirror. Of course, she knew that since she was staring at the mirror directly, it should be her, but to Zhou Zhenya, that didn't make sense. 

"What? Who's this? A prank?"

Zhou Zhenya grabbed the mirror carefully, twisting and turning it as she examined it. There were no signs of tampering, everything was the same as before! 

As Zhou Zhenya couldn't comprehend what was happening, she slapped herself in the face, the unknown person in the mirror mimicking her movements. Afterward, a slight red tint appeared on her cheek. 

"Is... is this a dream?"

Thinking of this, she decided to pinch herself in every place possible, as hard as she could. Unfortunately, nothing happened, except for her feeling quite a sting in some places. 

"This... is this me?"

Naturally, Zhou Zhenya knew of her below average appearance because every time she took a bath, this mirror would remind her of it. Now, this mirror was not mocking her in such a way anymore, making Zhou Zhenya feel anxious. 

"What happened?"

.....

The Zhou parents always woke up at 8:00 am before they would go to work at nine. It was their biological alarm clocks that woke them up. If this biological alarm clock didn't work for one of them, the other one would do the honor instead. If both of them didn't wake up, Zhou Zhenya would do it herself.

In any case, they woke up properly this morning. 

"Good morning, honey..."

The father, Zhou Jiahao, greeted his wife with a tone of sleepiness. However, she didn't answer, pretending that she was still sleeping. She rolled over while groaning, making her back face her husband. 

"Uhh..."

Zhou Jiahao was absentmindedly sitting on the bed as he just woke up. His brain wasn't working properly yet, at least, not at its full capacity.

Walking off the bed, Zhou Jiahao made his way to the bathroom, when suddenly an unknown figure emerged from the room. 

"Such a beautiful child!"

Zhou Jiahao was dazed, because even he, as an adult, was charmed by a child! However, it wasn't enough for his junior to stand up. 

"Safe...", he thought. 

Snapping out of his daze, Zhou Jiahao looked at the small girl in confusion. Who was this kid, and how did she get inside?

Just as he was pondering, the child spoke.

"Dad... there's a person in the mirror..."

As Zhou Jiahao heard the mysterious girl, he raised his eyebrow, indicating that he was even more confused than before. The voice sounded a little familiar to him. He responded to the little girl with a puzzled tone.

"Did... did you just call me 'dad'?"

What a joke! I only have one daughter, and she's not even close to your beauty!

Seeing that her father was looking at her skeptically, Zhou Zhenya's theory was confirmed in her mind. This unknown person was indeed actually her!

"Dad, it's me. Your daughter, Zhou Zhenya!"

Hearing this, Zhou Jiahao immediately felt worried. He retreated back to the kitchen which was facing the bathroom. 

"Wh-who are you? How do you know my daughter's name?"

Just as Zhou Zhenya was about to say her identity to her father again, she suddenly stopped suddenly as if something struck her.

That's right... I don't have any way to prove that I'm truly Zhou Zhenya, his daughter...

Realizing this, Zhou Zhenya's worried face disappeared and was replaced with a frown. Her mind was now full of negative thoughts, such as what would happen should her father never find out that she is actually Zhou Zhenya.

She put her hands behind her head and looked down, crouching in the process. In front of a door, there was suddenly a drop of water that fell on the floor.

Zhou Jiahao saw the drop and thought, "You thought you can trick me into pitying you, huh?" 

"Stop crying and tell me who you are!"

With her head looking down, Zhou Zhenya's face was not visible anymore. She forced a response out. 

"Dad, I... I really am Zhenya."

Suddenly, Zhou Jiahao heard his daughter's voice, seemingly coming from the direction that the beautiful girl was in. He ran towards her and pushed her aside. 

"Out of the way!"

You must have hidden her inside the bathroom, huh? 

Zhou Zhenya landed on the floor headfirst. She tried to suppress her cries, but it was too hard now. 

Opening the door, Zhou Jiahao looked around the bathroom, shouting his daughter's name. 

"Little Ya! Zhenya, where are you?"

In the bedroom, Zhou Jiahao's shouting could be heard. The wife of Zhou Jiahao, Zhou Xiang, woke up from her sleep. 

Zhou Xiang stood up with urgency and rushed towards the bathroom.

.....

Meanwhile, in Zhou Lei's bedroom, he could hear all the ruckus going on outside of his room. The system had given him a new quest. 

Quest: Go to the bathroom (time limit: 10 minutes)

Description: You junior is pleading you, damn ignorant fool! Do you want to wet your bed? Do popular guys wet their bed?! I think not!

Reward: 10 upgrade points, 1 lottery ticket

All this time, Zhou Lei had been holding it in. His bladder was probably about to explode as it was filled to the brim.

Now that the system was luring him with more rewards, he felt more tempted to go relieve himself. 

"But they're fighting there!" Zhou Lei retorted. 

"System knows host's deepest desires." 

"That again?!"

After a realization of his irrelevance, Zhou Lei gets a life-changing system that enables him to redeem himself - in the most attention-catching way possible!

"System, I said to upgrade my intelligence."
"Are you sure you want to upgrade: Appearance?"
"I already said no!"
"Upgrade processing..."

Raven smiles, as she combs her Pup's tangled hair. He had fallen into a mud puddle an hour before. When he walked into their hut, dripping wet and with an ashamed look on his face, she had clicked her tongue at him and got to cleaning him.
"You need to be more careful," she had told him as she ran the bath for him. "Or they'll name you Acacius, or Akuma"
He had looked at her with wide eyes. "Nooooo!" he had wailed. Raven had given him a soft smile. Acacius and Akuma were some of the names to name a trouble maker.
"Well, maybe the gods will bless you with a better name if you get in the bath without mama having to chase you around," Raven said, innocently. Her Pup got into the bath instantly.
~~~
By the time her Pup was washed, there was little time until the Naming Ceremony. She had started combing his hair with her comb, and her Pup fidgeted under the strokes.
"Aye, little one." She murmured, holding him still with her knees. "If you shan't sit still, you shan't go to the ceremony"
He looked at her with a pout. "I can't skip the ceremony!" he said. She smiled at him and pulled out one last knot. "Then run, Little One. Your Father and I will see you there" 
He smiled at her and jumped to his feet. He didn't spare a backward glance as he raced through the trees of the forest and towards town.
Raven stood and walked over to her hammock. She had hung her nicest gown across the ropes and now lifted it up. It was a black dress, not too frilly, and had raven feathers on the ends of the armholes and around the neck. Hanging from the sides and back were dozens of thin, silver chains.
She wasn't a fan of dressing up but this was an important day. She pulled off her clothes she was wearing and slid the dress on, careful not to pull the feathers or chains off.
She walked over to the family's only mirror and looked at herself in the mirror. Her black hair and soft features made her beautiful, yet her son had inherited more of his father's looks than hers. She was content that he had her face. Ambrose's features were hard and strong, while hers were gentle and open.
"You look beautiful" a voice calls from the doorway. Raven smiles to herself in the mirror and turns to face Ambrose. "And you look like a handsomely young lad" she winks at him. Ambrose pretends to be offended. "Are you implying...?" he says.
Raven shrugs. "I suppose we'll find out...AFTER Pup's naming ceremony" she says, walking past Ambrose and onto the forest trail that led to the town.

In a world of humans, there is hidden forest through a single doorway. The forest contains hundreds of mythical species and creatures, and it leads to a world of magic. It is a safe place for those whose bodies contain soul magic, which gives them their magic. The forest was a safe place for everyone and everything until the one and only rule was broken; DO NOT LET HUMANS INTO THE FOREST
