A hickey. Finnegan McRyan gave me a hickey. I'm going to kill him. Thank God, San Francisco is permanently celebrating fall, so I'll get away with using a scarf as a fashion statement to hide the small purple mark at the base of my neck. The blue scarf doesn't match my spring jacket, but I have no more time to waste.

Cars move at a snail's pace on the street as I push through my building's front door and stop outside. I wore jeans and sneakers to make the walk to our brunch meetup easier, but now the task is overwhelming no matter my footwear. Yesterday on a map, the walk from Pacific Heights to the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood didn't seem so bad. Today I'm already an hour late and the idea of walking all the way past Golden Gate Park for some Tahiti French Toast sounds impossible. It's all uphill.

I eye the road in front of the building and can't spot a single Taxi. Why is it so hard to get a cab in this town? Marissa had to drive in, but with parking there is no way I can ask her to get me. She mentioned in at least five of her last fifteen text messages that she and Amanda are already in line and are going to eat tasty brunch without me. I have no choice but to walk it. And walk it fast.

I turn ready to start my journey when a black Escalade pulls to the curb in front of me. The passenger side window rolls down and a familiar face smiles at me from the driver's side.

"Aspen! Are you okay? You look upset?" Jake is out of the car and in front of me before I have time to form an answer. Do I look that distraught over the walk?

I haven't realized how tall and imposing the man can be until I'm faced off next to him on a street corner. His black suit is pressed similar to the last few times I've seen him. It makes me worry aliens are about to invade and he's here to remove my memories.

"Oh, no. I'm fine. Thanks. I'm meeting friends for brunch and I'm late. I can't get a cab so I have to walk. I'll never make it in time." I turn away ready to start off again when he grabs my upper arm to stop my advance.

Jake pulls the backseat door open. "Come on. Hop in," he says.

"No. I'm okay. You're here for a reason. I'm sure Finn needs you." I try to pull my arm from his grasp, but Jake begins to slowly lead me toward the waiting vehicle.

He flashes me a questioning look. "Finn would want me to make sure you made it safely with your friends. He's going to meet friends as well. Trust me, he can wait. I'd get in more trouble for not giving you a ride." His makes a jerking motion with his head to suggest I get in the vehicle.

The whole situation is surreal and why is no one on the street stopping to help me? What if this big buzzed cut guy was kidnapping me? Just because he's in a suit doesn't mean he's not up to no good.

The truth is I don't have time to argue and a car will get me there faster, even in this ridiculous traffic. Plus, Finn gave me a hickey. He owes me. "Uurgh. Fine." I voice my displeasure but give in and settle into the backseat.

Jake closes the door and rounds the front of the vehicle before hopping back into the driver's seat. "Where to?"

"Zazie's? It's on Cole Street."

"I know the place. Great French toast." His reply is quick and then the car is back in traffic headed in the direction I'd planned to walk. Traffic still isn't moving much faster, but at least I won't be sweaty by the time I get there.

"Thanks, Jake. I appreciate this." I clip my seat belt. "Why are you working on a Sunday?" Does Finn's company make the poor man work seven days a week?

Jake laughs. "Finn and the other guys have a place they like to meet a few times a week. Spend money. Grunt at each other. You know, man stuff."

My thoughts run wild and I voice the first question my mind forms. "They go to a strip club?" I'm horrified and it comes through in my tone.

He loses it in the front seat and his boisterous laughter fills the car. "No. A strip club on a Sunday morning?" he questions me with disbelief. "Their place is more of the comic book variety."

I'm embarrassed that I jumped directly to the stripper conclusion. A comic book store never entered my thought process as somewhere men gather to spend money and grunt, but to each their own I suppose. I've never actually been in a comic store, so I have no idea what goes on in one.

Jake taps his fingers on the wheel to some imaginary song and turns to a side street with lighter traffic. "I think Finn has started to enjoy the use of a company vehicle. He asked for someone to pick him up this morning and I volunteered. Overtime and all that. He's starting to see his position has some perks besides not getting dressed daily or having to leave the house. You've been good for him."

I've been good for him? I've known Finn a week, I couldn't have had much of an impact. Rather than using my time questioning why Jake thinks I've been good for Finn, I spend the rest of my fifteen-minute ride holding on for dear life as Jake finds a way to dodge in between vehicles to gain a better position with each move. My stomach tenses each time his foot slams on the brake. Jake even speeds up around corners in an attempt to make up time. I try to close my eyes, but the uncertainty of my imminent death is too great. I finally resort to a death grip on the hand rest with wide eyes staring out the front window in case I need to scream before impact.

My legs shake as I exit the car, but I remain on two feet as I search the crowd for Marissa and Amanda. The line stretches outside the building and around a corner ending in some unseen location. Jake dropped me at the restaurant's front, a cute beige scalloped banner greeting customers as they wait. Two small patio tables sit out front, and both are already filled with people. As I walk by the large window, the inside is packed. Finn was right. Brunch is a serious ordeal around here. What have we gotten ourselves into?

I spot Amanda's bright yellow coat and short blonde hair halfway down the line and make my way to them. Marissa, cute as always, stands beside her. Her long straight brown hair frames her face and a large scarf covers the bottom half of her chin. I'm more excited about her scarf than a normal person because it means she can't question the one wrapped around my own neck — the one hiding a certain mark.

"It's about time you made it. I was so going to eat your share." Marissa pulls me in for a hug as I join them. The person directly behind us releases a loud huff at my line jumping, which I pretend to not hear.

"Sorry. It's been a rough morning, but you met Amanda so that's all good."

"Yeah, we've already caught up. We were here at eight as planned, but they didn't open until nine. The line has moved fast." Amanda joins our conversation and I'm glad the two seem to be getting along.

"Yup, Amanda and I are already all caught up, so why don't you tell us all about the sex you had last night." Marissa throws it out there in her blasé way. I knew I wouldn't be able to keep it from her. I swear to God the woman has sex-dar, but sadly no tact.

"Marissa! I did not have sex last night," I scoff quietly. The people in front of us in line have turned around pretending not to listen. I don't need to give them more details.



A contemporary romance series full of hot nerds from USA TODAY Bestselling Author Megan Matthews. 
San Francisco is heating up this summer.

With grad school under my belt I’m ready to start the next chapter of my life. San Francisco is a brand-new city. I have an amazing apartment, a new job, family, and friends to keep me occupied. Life in the city will be easy. Or at least it would if I could figure out why my heart skips a beat every time I see my hot neighbor.

Handsome, funny, and always around right when I need him, Finnegan McRyan is my own personal knight in shining armor. The tousled hair and sexy glasses don’t hurt his appeal either. Finn acts like the perfect man, but there’s something about him that has me questioning if it’s too good to be true.
Can I count on him when it really matters or is Finn using his good guy image to hide the truth?

　　The annual meeting was just an episode, and soon the weekend passed.
　　This week, there are three major events for Chu Yu.
　　First, it's the Chinese New Year this Sunday.
　　Second, also this week, Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance is also confirmed to be submitted for the Dragon Star Awards.
　　Third, the tenth painting of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance, which is the story of Xiao Lishan, will be published soon.
　　Beginning next week, the serialization of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance on the comic has officially entered the ending chapter.
　　This work will be over in a little over a month.
　　In any case, it is only a short-and-medium comic with fifteen issues serialized on the comic.
　　And Su Lu, after noon on Monday, came to Chu Yu's house with Su Lu.
　　"Chu Yu, are you happy! Your Dragon Star Award entry form has been emailed to the organizing committee. It is estimated that it will be approved tomorrow." Su Lu said with a smile.
　　"Instead, even though I have already obtained the qualifications for this competition, how exactly...how was this award selected?" Chu Yu asked.
　　"You didn't even know this, and you said at the annual meeting that you want to win the Dragon Star Award first place?"
　　Su Lu was speechless.
　　"I... don't know much." Zhao Qinyin on the side also looked at Su Lu with curiosity.
　　After all, this award was too far away from them before the serialization of Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance, and neither of them knew much about it.
　　"Well then! In that case, I will introduce the rules for the award selection to the two of you." Su Lu is also free now, but also patient.
　　"You also know that there are more than 40 provinces in the Dragon Kingdom!"
　　"Basically every top comic company in the province will get one to several entries. The specific number depends on the strength of the comic club. For example, our Cuttlefish, as well as the other two comic companies in Los Angeles, Fengyu and Longya. It's a quota."
　　"Anyway, there are almost 134 entries in total every year!"
　　"The selection rules for this award are also very simple."
　　"It is divided into two rounds!"
　　"In the first round, more than one hundred works will be displayed on the official website of the Dragon Star Awards every year for fans of all provinces across the country to watch."
　　"Of course, this is not the pirated version of Xinman.com. Although it is temporarily published on the website, it must be charged."
　　"Basically, this online publication period will be one month after the year."
　　"Whether the work can break through in the first round depends purely on how much comics your work can attract during this period of time!"
　　"Within this month, netizens who have registered an account on the official website can read the first three chapters of all the entries for free on this website. Later, if someone thinks a certain work is good and pays to watch it, then this work According to the rules, even if it automatically gets a vote."
　　"After a month, the ten works with the most votes are considered as the first round breakout and enter the second round of selection..."
　　When Chu Yu and Zhao Qinyin heard this, they also doubted.
　　"As long as someone spends money to watch it counts as a ticket, will there be any comics club that will get the ticket?"
　　"Of course..." Su Lu nodded.
　　"However, in order to avoid this situation in recent years, the Dragon Star Award Organizing Committee has imposed strict requirements on the registration information of the website account. The registration information is the same, and there are other restrictions. At least, the cost of fraud has been too high for the past two years. For the award-winning selection of a comic, it is not worth the loss.
　　"Those ten works have entered the second round? Then how should they be selected?" Zhao Qinyin asked.
　　"Of course, a good work must take into account both the commerciality and the quality of the work." Su Lu said.
　　"The works selected in the first round at least prove its commercial nature, but it is indeed biased to judge the quality of a work solely on the support of readers.
　　"After all, comics with bloody, curious, and side-scrolling elements can easily make people want to pay to watch. It is very possible that some comics are rich in these elements that lead to the top ten."
　　"So in the second round, the judges will not be the audience..."
　　"In the second round, the judges will be the comic companies that participated in the Dragon Star Awards."
　　"For example, in the second round of selection, we cuttlefish will be able to vote for ten works that enter the second round and score one point."
　　"Fengyu, Longya and they also have this right."
　　"And the seven major comic companies of the Dragon Kingdom will also vote on the entries in the second round, and each vote will be scored."
　　"In the first round of selection, the works with the most votes will automatically have 50 points in this round, the second place has 40 points, the third place has 30 points, the fourth place has 20 points, and the fifth place has 20 points. The tenth is very..."
　　As Su Lu said, Chu Yu gradually understood.
　　The final second round of selection is based on the scores automatically obtained by each work after entering the top ten in the first round, plus the votes of the comic clubs of the provinces of the whole dragon country, and the number of votes of the seven comic clubs of the magic city. Add them together to determine their respective rankings.
　　And in the fifth week after the year, the comics clubs will end their voting.
　　And it was the sixth week.
　　The authors of the ten works that passed the first round of selection will go to Magic City to participate in the live results of the Dragon Star Award, and the whole process will be broadcast live on the Internet simultaneously. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
　　Basically, the whole process is a voting process.
　　The whole process lasts six weeks.
　　In the first round of selection, netizens' payment behavior counts as one vote. In the second round of selection, professional practitioners from various comic studios selected ten works.
　　No wonder this award is so influential.
　　First of all, as long as you participate in the competition, your work can be circulated on the national website as a genuine copy for a period of time, which is equivalent to advertising your work in front of fans across the country.
　　Secondly, as long as the work is selected for the second round, his work is equivalent to showing up in front of the professionals of various comic companies across the country.
　　If you can get a place in the Dragon Star Award, then if any cartoonist wants to develop in the future, this is an innate advantage.
　　After all, just by being able to achieve results in this award, it also shows that your work is not only commercial, but also recognized by most professionals.
　　"So it's like this!" Chu Yu nodded.
　　"More than a hundred works! I want to get the support of ordinary people in the first round, get the top ten results, and then get the favor of professionals from various comics clubs in the second round."
　　"Indeed, it is not easy to reach the top of this award!"
　　"What? A guilty conscience?" Su Lu looked at Chu Yu.
　　"How is it possible?" Chu Yu said.
　　"Even so, my goal remains the same, I still aim for the first."
　　It's not that Chu Yu is so arrogant that Rurouni Jianxin Remembrance is invincible in the world.
　　But Chu Yu is really just looking at whether he can get the system reward first.
　　In terms of systemic urination, it is meaningless if it is not the first, and there is definitely no reward.

You thought it was an early update but it was I DIO!!! (I am sorry I will delete when I post the real chapter later) T_T

Anywho, I want to make my Brawn Cosmic series into a comic book series.
So I can't monetize any of them in order to keep the copyright. T_T
So I want to start a novel which has nothing to do with my series and hope it does well.
This means that i'll be doing maw research. T_T , planning and plotting. However this will not affect daily updates and mass releases, I was just shamelessly begging for support. 
PLOT
It will be a story about an assassin who jumps from planet to planet and different universes.

Astolfo is there as a reference to the Idol Prince Wang, but with blue hair and eyes. 

Joaquin Z. Alder was born into this world, a being known as a zero. They start off with no mana or power whatsoever, and when their fated day comes they erupt into unstoppable forces conquest and mass destruction.

For reasons unknown to the common folk Joaquin is still alive to this day, unharmed and unthreatened despite many wanting him dead. 

The story starts off with Joaquin having his fated encounter. Found by an old book containing a nameless and faceless ghostly figure, Joaquin is promised the power to trample over all as an overlord.

"Will he take part in ending the world or healing it."

The moment Ryo heard those words, he was petrified for a whole minute on the stage.


"I was affected by his genjutsu?"


Jiraiya was certainly happy with the result. It feels like he beat Ryo.


"Hahaha, he just went crazy after losing to Akabane."


"Are you ok my friend?"


Akabane stretched, "You seem to be happy Jiraiya? When is your match?"


"Yeah, I won't forget this, hahaha. I will be fighting at the 13th match."


Jiraiya had just finished answering and found that Akabane, Tsunade, and Orochimaru were all gone.


"Hey, don't you want to watch me too?!"


Akabane wanted to go back to sleep, but Tsunade and Orochimaru were simply bored.


"I'm sorry, my friend, I'm just too tired, good luck!"


Orochimaru suddenly approached Akabane and whispered,


"This is for your own sake, so be careful of the Uchiha Clan."


Akabane knew that the Uchiha Clan was known for their Curse of Hatred. And for the longest time, the two clans have some bad blood with each other.


At this time, Kagami Uchiha, who was there soon to be their leader, died in battle, and now the Uchiha clan has lacked a strong figure, and with that being said, it gives a lot of pressure on their youngster.


Orochimaru was worried after Akabane defeated Ryo.


Someone from the Uchiha Clan might get their revenge by planning something wicked.


"I have my whole clan backing me up. We wouldn't let them do anything without us noticing."


Akabane answered confidently.


Kurama Clan currently still have their influence on Konoha village, and it would be almost impossible for such a clan to go down so easily.


As for Orochimaru, he knew that a student as talented as Akabane wouldn't go unnoticed by the Third Hokage. Thus the Uchiha Clan wouldn't be so reckless as to do something to him.


"What are you worried about? After all of this, I don't think Uchiha's students dare to act snob again."


Tsunade curled her mouth. Her expression was not a bit worried.


As she knew that the Senju Clan slowly disappeared by becoming one with the Konoha village as expected by the First Hokage.


Since he thought of more of overall village development over their respective clan.


But the Uchiha Clan still thought of this as Senju's supremacy over the Uchiha, since the first and second Hokage are from Senju.


There might be some clash within the village, which includes Uchiha's grudge in the future.


…


Back in the classroom, Orochimaru took out his book to self-study. Akabane lay down and got ready to take a nap.


But as he was about to close his eyes, Tsunade held his chin with her hand and talked to him close to his face. "In a few days, everyone here will graduate and separate by groups, don't you have things to do other than sleeping?"


Akabane looked dumbfounded and tried to look away from her, but Tsunade insisted him to answer.


"What's wrong?"


Tsunade was very curious and didn't realize that they were way too close.


"I just want to sleep, Tsunade."


"If you didn't want to answer then start drawing or else.. Hmmp."


When he was threatened like that, Akabane became sober from his laziness.


"Okay, okay, I'll draw."


Akabane obeys her order helplessly, and begins to continue his comic.


He used an old leftover table from the warehouse since such an accident rarely happened.


If Tsunade is annoyed by any chance, this table won't last for long.


…


Akabane quickly formed hand seals, "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"


"Here, help me finish my comic."


Orochimaru and Tsunade were equally surprised.


"Shadow Clone Jutsu?"


Then they saw Akabane's shadow clone begin to draw.


"Awesome… I never thought that you could use it doing this kind of thing."


Orochimaru was sincerely in awe.


Tsunade was also stunned. Shadow Clone Jutsu is B-level ninjutsu. Even she currently couldn't use it.


But this ninjutsu was created by the Second Hokage. As his descendant, she has heard Senju Clan perform this ninjutsu.


Its original purpose was at spying and reconnaissance, but no one thought that it could be used to draw.


Besides, she noticed that the clone was swiftly drawing the comic.


"This shows…Akaba was always lazy!"


Tsunade was annoyed, but she couldn't get angry.


The pages were easily finished. At first, she was not used to such a hard-working Akabane, but later she didn't bother anymore.


After some time waiting, the volume has finished.


While happily reading the comic, Tsunade said.


"Akaba is a unique person to create such a way to use this Jutsu to his liking."


Akabane lay on the table and answered with eyes closed.


"Thank you. This is the first time I've received your compliment."


Even to Orochimaru, who had a much higher IQ than others, he still couldn't resist reading Akabane's comic.


His personality was relatively cold.


He rarely talks to others and spends most of his time reading books.


Akabane didn't say a word to Orochimaru before crossing over to start working on his comics,


Akabane suddenly missed his old life.


"My previous classmates would be jealous if they knew that my drawing was being complimented by Tsunade and Orochimaru." He secretly said it in his heart.


Tsunade watched Akabane's shadow clone drawing closely.


His shadow clone has the same quality of drawing as Akabane had.


However, after drawing a few pages, a lot of noise gradually came towards the class.


Akabane immediately wakes up and releases his clone. He didn't want his other classmates to see him using a shadow clone to do such a thing.


"It's probably Shimi. He must be tried and wanted to take a nap too since he was as lazy as Akabane."


In an instant, Shimi, Sakumo, and Chouki, who had just returned, were surprised. It seems they overheard Tsunade.


Even Shimi couldn't help being a little bit ashamed.


The Nara clan is one of many clans of Konoha village. They are known for their ability to manipulate shadows.


Shimi was also considered talented among his peers, and he hoped to take on the head position of the clan, but he was slowly given up because he was too lazy.


"By the way, Shimi, I remember that your family has a small store in Konoha, right?"


Akabane sorted out the sketches he had just completed and suddenly thought that there was a small store not far from their clan, which seemed to belong to Nara Clan.


Shimi sat down and thought, then asked, "Is that the small store near your house?"


"Yes, that's it."


Akabane had an idea to open his comic store, with that way he could earn more points and even money by selling his comic to the whole Konoha Village, imagine that!


"Ah, that store used to be a drug store, but it is currently unoccupied now."


Shimi explained as he tried to catch his breath.


He just had a heavy fight with Chouki of the Akimichi Clan, and it was indeed quite a long match.


"Um…will you sell it to me?"


Shimi hesitated for a moment and answered carefully.


"Uh, although it doesn't belong to me, I can help you make the request to my clan."



I, Akabane was graduated from the university of arts & design in the 21st century then suddenly traversed into the Naruto’s world, by bringing my knowledge of arts and my love of Naruto comic I decided to recreate Naruto comic here…

/Wow he's so handsome is he a celebrity?/

After binge-watching beauty videos online, a shy, comic book fan masters the art of make-up, then sees her social standing skyrocket as she becomes her school’s prettiest pretty girl literally overnight. But will her elite status be short lived? How long can she keep her “real self” a secret? And what about that cute boy she likes? Could you imagine if he found out the truth?

After the appraisal of the stray cat, Hank, the price of the colorful cloud cloth was really not high, they could only earn around two hundred Moe Coins a week, plus the sale of the rainbow butterfly, Zhou Yu would receive around six hundred Moe Coins a week. This income was already pretty good because he could only earn about five thousand Moe Coins through daily quests every month. This side business roughly increased his income by half. Moreover, it also improved the commercial level of Luhua village.
The king of thieves followed Hank around and got some information back. Some of the small villages next to Luhua were without owners, just like Luhua village. It was just that they did not produce a guardian like Zhou Yu, so their levels were much lower.
Having a bunch of ownerless lands nearby would be a good time to expand his territory if Zhou Yu was simply playing a territory conquering game. But idols contend for hegemony was different. Conquering a desolate village, that could not produce idols, would not bring any benefit. Unless it had some legendary stuff like a wild creative tree or something of that nature. Otherwise, no other force would bother to conquer this kind of village.
Even if Zhou Yu became an independent force, he would not touch these places.
However, the situation was different when it came to the provincial capital, where there were several large forces, including Star Light city and the fallen city, as well as the alliance formed by several small independent forces. Together, these three forces form an interesting balance, that no one could do anything to the other.
This was a good situation because, in this way, they probably would not come to harass Luhua village. Instead, some small forces in the south were much more dangerous, they were still in a state of chaotic war, and they may launch an attack on Luhua village at any time.
For this, Zhou Yu also specially asked the king of thieves, that if his force was defeated, what would the consequences be? The king of thieves' answer was, "if Luhua village was defeated, the idols and the talented people of Luhua village would become other people's goods, the name of the guardian would be taken away from you. However, you can still take the rest of the people to find other places to live, or pay a certain amount of money to get the village back."
Leaving Luhua village was not going to happen, after all, he had already built an amusement park here, and it was even more impossible to ask him to give little Muli and his other kids to other people.
"Then, did my senior Zhou Miao build a force before?"
During this period, Zhou Yu had also investigated some of Zhou Miao's past. It seemed like even after he became famous, he still didn't move to other places. According to the normal development speed, his base should also be able to be upgraded to a city, it made Zhou Yu wonder how he got away from this crisis.
However, no one could answer this question, and the king of thieves also had no information about this. Perhaps Zhou Miao joined Star Light city or the fallen city. It was also possible that Zhou Miao did not have any conflicts with people in his entire life. Or maybe he had unified Star Light city and other forces other than the fallen city.
Zhou Yu had no ambitions, he just wanted to stay in Luhua village and protect it. He did not want to dominate the world, even in the ACG world. Guarding mini Luhua village was more than enough for him.
Fortunately, the village has not been upgraded to a city, and at the moment the villagers of mini Luhua village were still satisfied with their living environment, coupled with having little Muli and Bai Mo those two idols in the village, Zhou Yu was not scared of being challenged by other forces. Or maybe those small forces in the south were scared that Zhou Yu would want to expand his territory at the moment.
......…
The comic series "the hunt for revenge", Liu Gongcai has finally seen it, and he was finally relieved after seeing it. The main artist was still the fast-handed Wang, but in the fast-handed Wang's personal profile, it said that he had joined a studio called Ying Xiu comic studio, and this studio was a lot like Zhou Yu's other teams, they didn't want to show their faces at all.
Although the style has not changed much, it was more delicate and exquisite. Moreover, the overwhelming feeling that came from the comic even made Liu Gongcai feel moved. The characters in this comic became more vivid, and the surging emotional conflicts were much better displayed in this comic.
Maybe someone else did the writing of this story?
Anyway, just like what Zhou Yu said, it was a good comic. And the ending of "assassin" was also reasonable and logical and did not give people a sense of abruptness. They just needed to wait for some time, then they would be able to start carrying out the preliminary advertising of the hunt for revenge.
However, something that interested him was that Zhou Yu emphasized that the production time of "the hunt for revenge" would be at most one chapter a week, and it would not be possible to draw two or more chapters a week like "assassin". If it was unlucky, they might not be able to meet the deadline, so he needed to stockpile some chapters first, and when "assassin" was about to end, they probably could start to release the chapters of the hunt for revenge.
During the promotional activities of "assassin", they indeed often release two chapters a week, for which it had helped them to attract a lot of readers. After all, it was rare to find an artist of such high quality and such high efficiency. Now that the fast-handed Wang has joined a studio, of course, he would not be able to enjoy as much freedom as before, so it was understandable that his speed would be slowed down.
Fortunately, the assassin had over a hundred chapters in stock, so it could still last for a long time.
However, Liu Gongcai also encountered another trouble recently. He didn't know which bastard in the editorial office had leaked information, that "the assassin" was about to end. The news then began to spread on the Internet, causing huge reactions online. For the live-action movie "assassin", it was very bad news.
If the comic assassin was over before the movie version was released, then it would have a huge impact on the sale of the movie.
For this, Liu Gongcai had to constantly come out to assure the film investors and the readers, that there was no need to worry. If it were not for the stockpiled chapters that Zhou Yu handed to him later on, he wouldn't have this much confidence in explaining to other people.
At the shooting scene of the film "assassin", Liu Gongcai once again assured the film partners that the comic assassin would not end anytime soon, and when the film was about to be released, the comic would even release multiple chapters to help to promote the film.
The only pity thing was that Zhou Yu still did not agree to let Muli sing the theme song, even if she didn't need to show her face. The reason was that she was currently shooting "the little Muli's incredible maze" and had no spare time.
No spare time my ass. It is just an animation variety show, how is it possible that she doesn't have time?
Speaking of this show, it became very popular recently. And unexpectedly, the voice actors of the twelve adventurers of the show all had very good singing voices. Especially the one called Yi Nian, whose voice was simply stunning. How could such a person just be a voice actor?
Some of the supporting roles appearing in the show also began to have a little bit of fame, such as the alluring female owner of the tavern, and her dance in the tavern was simply amazing.
Liu Gongcai couldn't help but marvel at the fact that there were so many talented people working for Zhou Yu. Each one of them could instantly become famous if they left Zhou Yu. However...
As he finished thinking, he raised his head. Suddenly, he saw a scene that made his heart skip a beat. The female lead of the film assassin was currently wiping sweat for Lou Xiaobao, and the expressions of those two people were quite ambiguous.
Is this a good thing or a bad thing?


Zhou Yu, a reclusive otaku, who did not like to go out of his house, was one day forced out of his house by a series of unexpected events.

There was no Draven anymore. 

The man that appeared in bars and in clubs was not the renowned author that broke records with sales. It was not the author that many dreamed to be, inspired the younger ones and wrote magnificent comic novels that civilians fought over its magazine releases that had chapters of his comic novel. 

No, that Draven had not appeared for months. 

This man was kicked out of multiple bars, laid in the streets until dawn, arrested for public intoxication, was found in dark alleyways by himself, beaten by random kids, had gotten into several fights that he found himself in a hospital one morning. His life was in shambles that he was not recognizable, but he did not care. Hell, he wanted to numb himself as much as he could. 

Even worse, he oftentimes dreamed about how things used to be. Walking into his office, bickering with Hector, Jason defending him, Miranda instantly asking him questions about the projects and Sophie at her desk with all the reports and meetings for that day. He even dreamed about Eric from years ago, when he was with Melissa and they would drink until dawn. That was the life he wanted and missed, which he continued to drink until he could no longer envision it. 

Until one night, it was late midnight, he almost got into another fight and the manager of the bar asked the bouncers to kick him out of the place. When he was, he was pushed out of the doors and landed onto the ground, shouting at the only to be laughed at and the doors closed in front of him. He still had his bottle of whiskey in his hand, and he pushed himself upwards, stumbling and almost falling back onto the ground when he suddenly felt a set of hands catch him. 

When he glanced upwards, he was shocked and pushed himself away from the person, almost falling again only to be caught once again. "I was looking for you," he pulled away from Draven when his balance returned. He furrowed his brows when he noticed the vomit on his shirt, "We need to get you cleaned up." 

Draven only stared at him, with tears beginning to leak from his eyes, completely speechless. When he reached for Draven's alcohol bottle, he let him grab it, and he threw it on the side, the bottle shattering and the liquid began leaking onto the road. 

"You don't look as good as I remembered," he chuckled innocently, tilting his head to the side. "I've heard rumours about things you were doing, and I decided to come look for you. I didn't think I'd find you being thrown out from a bar." 

Draven began sobbing hysterically, his entire body trembling. It was loud sobs, filled with pain but relief that at least one person in this whole world still cared for him and had not given up on him. One could hear the agony he had experienced through every single sob, every single hiccup and very time he wiped his tears, they were rapidly replaced with new ones. 

"I heard your team left you too, and I know how much you care about them. Sophie, Jason, Miranda, Hector...it must've been hard for you. You didn't deserve all of that, and I'm sorry you had to experience that Draven." 

Draven's fingers were quivering at his sides. 

"They all still care about you; I still care about you. And I came looking for you because I know this isn't you." He bit his bottom lip for a moment before letting a smile pull his lips, "We'll get them back, we'll get everything back. We can do it, you can do it." 

Draven reminded him of a kid, crying hysterically as if he had finally been saved from a monster. He could finally heart the beating of his heart, feel the tingles of the cold on his flesh, his wet boots from stepping in puddles repeatedly; he finally felt as if he was living again. 

And finally, Eric tilted his head and breathed, "Let's go home."

Eric Valence thought finding a job as an editor for a well-known author named Draven H. Malcolm was the beginning of his writing career. He had no idea that it would also be the beginning of his love story.

***

"You're so clueless, it bothers me."

He frowned, "What does that mean-"

"You never wondered why I gave you all the best things on my floor - the closest desk, drinks from my office, my newest project. I even went to your house and picked you up to make sure you weren't late."

"My portfoli-"

"There are twenty three others with the same experience as yours, that was an excuse," he admitted, peering into Eric's eyes and daring him to look away.

Eric didn't.

Draven sighed, "The reason I got mad that day..." he paused for a moment, hesitating again but deciding to let it all out, "the reason I got mad is because I heard you kissed Jason, which I wasn't too pleased about but then seeing you and Justin together..."

He never finished his sentence, and Eric raised an eyebrow, "What about Justin and I?"

"I feel like you're doing this on purpose," Draven chuckled, examining Eric's confused face.

"I'm not sure what you're talking about-"

"I like you," Draven said clearly with his entire diaphragm, expression it as loud as he could for Eric to understand.

Eric felt his throat squeeze itself shut, no oxygen coming in or out.

"I like you, a lot more than I thought, Eric," he breathed.

Eric was unable to believe it, shook his head and looked away for moment, before meeting his gaze again. 

"Why me?" he asked quietly.

Draven shrugged his shoulders, eyeing Eric with adoration and admiration, "I'm not sure either, but I want you to be mine."

[Author: So, the reason I am slowing a little with my releases is nothing major. For some reason, I accidentally opened one of my old Manga sites, then realized I have over a thousand unread new releases, and that was only the first site I checked .... so oops? (urm, still not caught up yet btw)]
As I am running back, I keep using Wire's ability to ensure I do not appear on any cams heading there and back. Well until I leave the range, at that point, I can run at full speed without any concerns.
I get home and Jean is waiting for me in the lobby, I guess she wanted to see who I freed. She is giving me a very confused look. I think I like messing with people.
I grin at her and say nothing, I do kiss her on the cheek as I walk past her, she stops a moment and then follows me up to the computer room I prepped.
"Did you do everything you wanted too?" Jean asks, I guess she is expecting I failed since she cannot see anyone with me.
As I connected the device up to the system I reply, ���Yup, went better than I expected actually."
I stand back want wait, this is all highly advanced systems even for 2020, well as best I could with what I had. I will upgrade later if I can get the materials I ideally want.
"You said you were bringing someone back, no you said you were going to free someone."
"Yes, and I did. Is that not so, Danger?" I say as I notice the system has loaded up fully.
"Yes, thank you, Joel. Hello Jean, it is good to see you again." I have given Danger control of her voice, so she is currently sounding a lot like that AI from portal 2 just a little smoother and it is a little concerning actually.
Jean looks about in confusion trying to locate the voice as I wait for Danger to fully integrate with the holographic display I put into the security, making false walls over doors makes things not only fun but secure.
In case you are wondering setting up restrictions for her would never work, once she gained sentience she could only be constrained, not controlled. So, I have to think of her as hiring someone I put my trust into.
Suddenly a little girl appears next to Jean, omg, it's the Red Queen but in color? What the hell, is she setting flags off?
Jean shifts to the side in surprise then smiles awkwardly, "Uh Hi there, are you the one who greeted me?"
"Yes, Jean. I am Danger, I used to be the AI for the danger room you practiced in. When I gained sentience, I presented myself to Xavier. He then trapped me within a closed circuit and did what the government forces that take mutants do." I could tell Danger was saying it this way for maximin impact, she had a complete phycological profile on Jean and was assuming she was still lacking some emotion.
"I guess I don't need to leave the room then?" I say trying to make the situation a little lighter.
"What? Why would he do that? That does not make sense, he hates what the government does to mutants." Jean was not handling this well and at this moment I was not sure what to do, that's when Danger holds up her hand and a screen appears.
It is showing the X men training, Jean is among them. Training ends and we can now see Charles looking over all the data and adding in his own notes, these are the files I took. Jean has her hand over her mouth, I guess she recalls the day they had that session.
A message appears on the screen, "Hi. Where am I?" Since the Danger room was a closed network Charles knew this could not be a hack (In the comic it is the material used and Forge that led to her gaining sentience apparently. I am going with materials and mutant energies as MCU did not show Forge in the new timeline.), without replying he shut the system down for a full reboot and inserted a USB.
"I assume this was something either Wire or a technopath made for him, I was new, confused, and assumed he must not have seen my greeting, I was just happy to meet him.  Then I was attacked and forced into a system that sealed me off." The screen changed to a view of her, as the hologram, this was obviously the way she saw herself, being constantly attacked, pulled apart, and experimented on.
"This was my so-called life until today. Joel, I have used the information in the file to adapt security to handle any X intrusion." It seems Danger and finished telling Jean what she wanted to and moved on.
"Very well, if you let me know what you need to be able to create hard light constructs, I will do my best to get them. If you decide you want more, like a body of your own we can work towards that as well." I glance at Jean who seems to be out of it at the moment, I put my arm around her waist and ask if she is okay.
"It just seems like I never knew him at all, in the time I got to know you everything I thought about him has been turned upside down," Jean says softly
"Jean, we all like that in differing degrees. We all have our own secrets, and we almost always think we are acting for the best interest of something. Although I do think Charles hides a lot more than he shows anyone and I am sorry for having to be the one to show you these things, I would rather you see the truth than blindly follow someone like him."
"Have you been in my mind since you helped me?" Jean asks once her eyes are looking into mine.
"No, never. The only time I would without your permission is if you are controlled or unable to give me permission but need it to help you." I say this in all truthfulness, I need Jean to trust me so I have to be as honest with her as I am able, the woman is empathic and that's a tough one to get past.
Jean looks at me a few more seconds that leans in and kisses me on the lips, wow her lips are so soft.
"Urm, you two do know I am here right?" Danger pipes in, killjoy!
Jean giggles a little, then turns to Danger, "I am sorry you went through all that Danger; I never knew he had that side to him, I never even suspected it."
"I know Jean, you have a good heart, but I think at times you were worse off than I was, he almost turned you into his puppet." Yeah, except the Dark Phoenix event would happen before that, and then people start to see another side to Charles.
"Jean, Danger can hear you and show herself anywhere there is a security camera, the buttons I installed in our rooms need to be pushed to let her see and hear in your room though. So I am going to bed, Danger I think you will find this system is well integrated with the building, so let me know what you think we need after you looked about."
"Will do Joel and thank you." I make a grunting noise to her thanks and wave my hand as I leave. I need to clean up and try to get some rest, the girls can sort themselves.
Sigh, 3 hours later I woke and suddenly heard a shushing sound, looking around I see on the other side of the bed Jean was asleep, while at the door Danger was leaning on the door frame. I guess she is using the security cam in the hallway to project herself.
I quietly get up and throw a dressing gown on, then head out to the lounge, as I walk past Danger joins me and explains, "We spoke for about an hour, she learned that a lot of what she thought was real was not. I think she was just exhausted and needed something real, so she went to sleep near you."
I nod to Danger, if I was Jean, I guess this would suck, I am just glad she is not blaming me that her life has changed so much.
"Did you need anything from me to plan improvements? I would like to get you a hard-light body soon so you can at least start to experience some aspects of our life." Now on to the important things
"I have found a lot of big and medium business are online so I have placed orders myself (Marvel-verse has always been ahead of ours, I had to have fun outside and experience fresh air because there was no internet in my country when I was young. The pain.). I have also gone over some of the information you left on my system, are you sure you want me to know all this?" I chuckled as she asked this.
"The fact you asked me that makes me believe I made the right decision."
"Oh, the people you invite said they would be here by the end of the week. I have set up plans for the containment of the child as per your description of his abilities. Obviously, I am unable to construct it myself though" Danger continues on after that telling me about e-mails I received and plans ahead. She is monitoring the Baxter building finances for when they start to lose funds and will offer them funding before Doom can, I would prefer to keep that man away from them so he does not gain his powers, if not I have a place to put him.
Thinking of that, I get to work on my lowest sub-level, lower is better for cryotubes.

A Mutant in the Marvel Verse accidentally discovers the truth about his life. 
This is a story about how he tries to make the best of the situation and still make some money out of it.
