Lizzie has the feeling of being watched sometimes but in her case the stalker died in her house! The ghost names Oliver taunts her relentlessly and is out for her hand in unholy matrimony! Will she become his boo? Or send him back to the veil?

Ren could feel a spine-tingling sensation as the Goddess of Light glared at him. It has been quite a long time since he felt this sense of danger. The last time he felt this indescribable feeling of dread was back when he fought the ORIGIN. Ren who felt his body shivering in both fear and excitement couldn't help but smile that vicious smile of his. Ren's shadow started to expand as multiple spears came out from it.  
Ren infused his mana into the spears and with his total control made the spears levitate beside him. Ren then quickly pushed the spears forward making them dart towards the Goddess of Light. The speed of the spears were five times faster than the speed of sound.  
The Goddess of Light looked at the incoming spears with disdain, and the moment they were about to hit her, the spears phased through her body. In the eyes of others, the Goddess of Light didn't move as the spears simply went through her body, on the other hand, Ren saw something different. The Goddess of Light moved so fast that she was able to dodge the spears with minimum movement and quickly returned to her original spot. She moved so fast that her dodging looked like she was just standing there.  
Ren couldn't help himself as the smile on his face grew wider. Ren used his mana control to make the spears that went past the Goddess of Light come back, while he charged forward. Ren alongside the floating spears attacked the Goddess of Light. Ren didn't give the Goddess of Light any leeway as he attacked in all directions. Yet the same as before the Goddess of Light evaded each strike with the same minimal movement.  
"Hmph, can't you see that kind of attack won't even hit me?"  
"Is that so?"  
When the Goddess of Light heard Ren's reply, she finally noticed that her cheek had a little cut on it. She was truly surprised to see that she got damaged. Even without dodging, there were only a few types of mortal weapons that could harm her, the only reason she was dodging now was to show Ren the disparity between them. Yet now that she saw that Ren's weapons could actually harm her she felt a little relieved that she was dodging those strikes.  
"Heh, so even deities bleed."
When the Goddess of Light heard what Ren said she grew even more infuriated. As Ren was about to begin his assault again, the Goddess of Light lifted her hands and pointed at mirrors on the walls. A burst of light came flying out of her fingers hitting the nearby mirrors. The light then bounced from mirror to mirror creating a web of light that disintegrated the floating spears.  
It was a good thing that Ren was able to guess beforehand why there were mirrors on the wall, in a room that had nothing but decorations that could show one's reflection. The moment Ren saw that burst of light he quickly summoned numerous shields from his shadow which covered him, and he did the same for Lara and the others who were at the corner of the room.  
The power of that one burst of light almost broke his shields. Just two more strikes like that and Ren's stock of shields would be depleted. So before the Goddess of Light could make her next move, Ren quickly summoned several dozens of weapons which he immediately threw at all the mirrors and decorative pieces in the room.  
"Hmph, so you're not just a brute, you can actually use your head. Still, that won't be enough to defeat me."
After she said those words the Goddess of Light's hands started to blur as several bursts of light came flying towards Ren. Despite the attacks being literally as fast as light, Ren was able to dodge every single beam. As he was about ready to counterattack, Ren suddenly lost his sight. Still, even without his sight, Ren could sense the area around him. As he was confused as to what happened he heard the Goddess of Light's voice.
"Do you understand now, unlike your title Strongest Mortal Soul, the title of Goddess of Light isn't just for show. As a world deity, I have the power of law on my side, as I can control this world's light. For as long as you're a being that exists in this world, I can plunge you into the darkness. This is the end for you, well it's not like I expected you to do any better. Well, even though you're about to die now, you should be proud that you were able to wound me."  
The Goddess of Light then fired multiple bursts of light towards Ren. She was expecting Ren to die with that assault, but to her surprise even without being able to see Ren was able to dodge all the beams of light. The Goddess of Light then continued her assault but Ren was still able to dodge. After a while, the Goddess of Light who was unable to hit Ren returned the light of his eyes.  
That ability of hers that takes one's light uses too much divine power and since it wasn't working the way she wanted it to, she deactivated it.  
Ren who was able to see again smiled. After those exchanges, it would seem that the two were at a stalemate. Ren and the Goddess of Light were having difficulty hitting each other, and it would seem that they were evenly matched to those who were watching. 
Yet the truth was Ren was on the losing side. In that brief exchange between him and the Goddess of Light, Ren could already guess how the battle was going to end. Even with his spiritual energy and his physical body getting stronger every second, Ren knew that with his current abilities the Goddess of Light wasn't someone he could defeat using such half-ass means.
 Ren then looked at Lara and did some cryptic hand signals. When Lara saw Ren's hand signals she nodded her head. Seeing Lara's response Ren looked at the Goddess of Light while gathering all the mana he had. He even used his Spirit Aura to the very limit of what he cand produce.  
"As expected of a deity, you're harder to deal with than I thought. Still, even you would get hurt if you're hit by this." Ren gathered everything he currently had into Snertal.  


The strongest Demon Lord dies and reincarnates as a human. 

Follow his journey as he learns more about the truths of his past. About the secrets within himself that he never knew before.

The first thing Jason and Caroline sensed after they were swallowed by the black smoke, was a painful screech coming from some.

The next thing they felt, was that as if they were being thrown in all kinds of directions, yet they were somehow not hitting anything.

Slowly they regained their vision and their ability to move, and the giant spider legs for some reason let go of them and they just fell on the hallway floor.

Sounds of cracks and pops, the smell of smoke and the feeling of heat surrounded them - the hotel hallway was burning. There were two very conspicuous holes in the floor, and around these two holes were a couple of burning piles of tar-like matter. 

The giant human-formed spider struggled in the burning hallway and tried to back away from where Jason and Caroline were. It appeared to be extremely fearful of the silver and orange flames that were burning all around the hallway and it appeared to be missing a few of its legs.

"Pop!" a piece of the carpet beneath one of the spider's leg burst out burning in silver and orange flame. The spider jumped and tried to move the leg away, yet a large chunk of this leg was already burned by the flame. Some of the human bodies that formed it seemed to be melted off and dropped on the ground, and started burning like drops of tar-like matter around the holes in the floor.

"Carry them away!" Caroline gave Jason a push and knocked him out of his shock and confusion, then pointed at Branston, Brian and Adam: "We must carry them away!"

"Right! Now!" Jason came to himself and rushed to the side of the three unconscious young men with Caroline, and started dragging them away from the fires.

The spider was finally able to back away and into the shadows. But its body was already badly damaged when it did. There were some parts of its body that caught fire, it just shed the burning human body parts like chunks of dead skin, exposing the internals of its body in the process.

And even through the fires and almost a whole hallway away, Jason and Caroline were still able to make out a part of the human-formed spider's "core" : it was a woman, in a golden-colored gown cradled in a fetal position. Unlike all other parts of the limbo, this woman and her gown had color on them and were not grey.

After letting out a loud and threatening screech, the spider disappeared into the shadows at the far end of the hallway.

When Jason and Caroline came to, they found that they were still standing in the hallway, and to their relief the hallway was not on fire at all.

But something definitely was on fire, since they smelled smoke.

"Caroline? Your backpack!"

"And yours!"

Looked like while they were in the limbo, something ignited all the incense in both their backpacks, the insides of their backpack were burned and badly damaged. But luckily, nothing else caught fire.

The folded paper sigils were also burnt down into barely recognizable pieces, and each of their metal mirrors were in incredibly high temperature and Caroline almost got her hand burnt while she was cleaning out her backpack.

Branston, Brian and Adam did not wake up as fast as Jason and Caroline, and they seemed to be very confused when they did.

"Stream's disconnected. What happened? Did we stream at all?" Branston asked Brian and Adam, yet neither was able to give him an answer.

"Hey, Caroline, Jason." Brian ran up to the two who were staring at two bunches of incense in their hands: "Looks like we got confused there for a bit, did we do the stream? Do you guys remember?"

"... No?"  Caroline thought for a minute and decided she wanted to play dumb: "I don't remember much from before. What do you remember?"

"Honestly? Almost nothing." Brian turned back and took a look at Branston who was trying his hardest to adjust his camera and get the stream online, and Adam on the side helping him, while his expression clearly showed that he was trying really hard to remember what happened.

"It's probably for the best." Caroline smiled, "I felt like we went through something terrifying, it's a blessing in disguise if we cannot remember anything."

"Caroline? Look at the smoke." Jason interrupted the brief conversation between Brian and Caroline.

Some of the incense in their backpacks was still burning, and a lot of the smoke that was trapped in there was also released when they tried to get things out. Yet the smoke did not dissipate like normal smoke would, nor did it rise up to the ceiling or out the window. Instead, all of the smoke drifted through the air across the hallway and gathered around a decorative pillar half embedded in the wall at the far end of the hallway.

The smoke from the incense was light, not cough-inducing and even had a calming smell, yet somehow it started to char that piece of the decorative pillar.

Jason and Caroline's eyes met, the same realization just came over them.

"Fuck yeah! I just got it working!" Branston cheered as he finally got his camera to start shooting and his livestream back online, "Woah, the chats we got, it's insane!"

"Let me see. What are they saying? " Brian and Adam hastily took out their phones to check the status of the live stream.

A loud bang startled Branston, Brian and Adam. As they looked over to where the sound came from, they saw Jason and Caroline violently tearing up a decorative pillar in a wall at the end of the hallway.

"Woah woah woah! Guys! We are not supposed to do this!" Brian quickly rushed to Jason and Caroline's side and exclaimed: "You can't cause damage to the hotel! What do you think you're doing?"

"Hey! What are you guys doing there!? What's with the smoke!?" two doors opened and several guests came out of their rooms: "Stop it! We're calling the hotel staff!"

Jason and Caroline did not even slow down, they already broke the surface of the decorative pillar, and they started breaking and pulling out what was inside: dusty fillings, old wooden boards and panels.

"Stop it! Stop it!" a female guest sounded like she was about to cry: "This is a historic hotel! You can't do this!"

"Historic, made sense..." Jason muttered as he reached his hand down to the hole they made and pulled out a piece of wood panel that for some reason seemed corrupted and blackened.

"Stop what you're doing, now!" two security guards from the hotel made it to the scene and tried to drag both Jason and Caroline away, but big and tall as they were, they were pushed to the side.

"Branston! Your camera! Come here!" Caroline yelled at the three young men who just seemed to get every streaming device online, "Turn on your flashlight and take a look down here!"

"There's a body inside!" noticing that Branston was hesitant because of the presence of the bodyguards, Caroline spelled out loudly what she and Jason found.

He left his home, unwillingly, to a realm of cultivation, Xianshu, mythical manuals and Dao. And now he’s here due to a failed attempt at going home, a place bears a lot of resemblance but not the same.

“At least it’s close enough here. I’ll get there on my next jump.” Jianmen Yu said to himself, “But while I’m prepping, let me do my old job here for a bit.”

And there we have it, “Xianshi Inn”, run by a cultivator, who’s not of this world. Don’t mess with it or its employees, the owner will kick your ass, no matter who you are, no matter WHAT you are.

"Really?" Yun Jiuge exclaimed as her eyes lit up. She did not have many pets. Her Pipi Mouse previously was possessed by Cute Little Baby's consciousness, so it did not count.
Beside Mr. and Mrs. Treasure-hunting Scorpion, she was only left with the pink Mother Legendary Venomous Insect given to her by Jun Yichen.
Now that she had the opportunity to hatch the Mother Legendary Venomous Insect, she was certainly willing by all means.
"Of course," Zi Shang replied, feeling somewhat guilty when he saw Yun Jiuge so happy. The method that he taught was slightly savage. He hoped Yun Jiuge would not flip out.
"So, what do we have to do?" Yun Jiuge asked. She could not wait to take out the Mother Legendary Venomous Insect. A gentle light was radiating from inside the pink cocoon in her fair hands.
Zi Shang took the cocoon and under Yun Jiuge's expectant gaze, threw it over to the place with the most intense Fiendish Qi.
The pink cocoon streaked across like a meteor in front of Yun Jiuge and disappeared into the endless darkness. The Walking Corpses and evil spirits swarmed around like sharks sensing blood and overwhelmed the insect in an instant.
"Ahh! What are you doing!" Yun Jiuge screamed and turned around, wanting to rescue the Mother Legendary Venomous Insect.
Zi Shang grabbed Yun Jiuge by the shoulders and said in a composed manner, "Don't be anxious. Your Legendary Venomous Insect which should have hatched long ago was just lazy to come out. If you don't give it a little push, it'll really become a fossil."
"But you don't have to goad it this way! What if something happens?" Yun Jiuge replied.
"If something goes wrong, I'll save it," Zi Shang answered. He would not let anything happen to the Mother Legendary Venomous Insect.
"You'd better keep to your word," Yun Jiuge angrily responded. Her eyes anxiously stared at the center area swarming with Walking Corpses.
The original dark black fog suddenly undulated. A small vortex appeared out of thin air and expanded continuously. The whole space throbbed violently like angry waves in the sea.
The Walking Corpses were swept into the vortex and instantly torn to pieces before turning into black fog.
The place where the cocoon disappeared suddenly spewed out alternating black and white rays that lit up the whole space in an instant.
Next, a black-and-white butterfly flapped its wings and slowly flew up, circling over everyone's heads with a dizzying mist of light.
This butterfly was roughly the size of a palm, and its left side was pure black with a fine decorative design forming a vicious male devil's head. Its right side was pure white, but resembling the face of a kind-looking woman.
Right in the middle was a black colored body. Its head had the face of a delicate, cute girl. It was pouting its lips as if it was angry.
"A Reincarnated Yin-Yang Butterfly?" Zi Shang thought to himself. He raised his eyebrows and transmitted a message to Yun Jiuge saying, "Ahhh, lucky you. After this Legendary Venomous Insect absorbed Cute Little Baby's Demon Qi, it actually evolved into such a rare breed."
"What's so special about this Reincarnated Yin-Yang Butterfly?" Yun Jiuge asked, with her eyes fixated on the black-and-white butterfly.
"As the name implies, a Reincarnated Yin-Yang Butterfly can reverse the Qi of Yin and Yang. It can even create vitality in dead areas. It's a rare treasure. But yours is still quite young, so it can only deal with these Walking Corpses," Zi Shang replied flatly.
A fully evolved Reincarnated Yin-Yang Butterfly could create a small world in itself. It was the best Weapon Spirit to refine a miniature world but was also a favorite treasure of the powerful presence.
Yun Jiuge's eyes lit up and she hurriedly waved to the black-and-white butterfly as she said, "My darling, quickly come to Big Sister."
The black-and-white butterfly shot a glance at Yun Jiuge when it heard her call. It continued to pout and ignore her, still looking angry from being thrown out.
"My darling, don't be angry. Big Sister has candies for you," Yun Jiuge cajoled as she poured out two Cherry Pills onto her hand.
At this, the black-and-white butterfly landed satisfactorily on Yun Jiuge's hand. After it ate the Cherry Pills, it obediently rested on her shoulder. It was easily coaxed after all.
"Darling, you'll be called Feifei from now on!" Yun Jiuge said as she tenderly touched Feifei's little head.
Feifei flapped its black-and-white wings. It was very satisfied with the name.
"Miss Yun, can I ask what breed your butterfly is? Where can I find one?" Leng Hui asked as he looked at Feifei with excitement.
He had just seen with his own eyes how the small butterfly flapped its wings and the Fiendish Qi became a vortex. Those Walking Corpses and evil spirits were trapped inside the vortex and could not come out.
If he could have such a butterfly too, then he would not have to worry about Hui Kingdom being corroded by Fiendish Qi again.
"It's a Legendary Venomous Insect given to me by a friend. It's unlikely that there's another one in the world," Yun Jiuge replied while shaking her head.
Jun Yichen had bred so many Legendary Venomous Insects and only produced Feifei, the Mother Legendary Venomous Insect.
Moreover, during the process of spinning its cocoon, it was corroded by Pipi Mouse's Demon Qi. It was due to this fortuity that it developed into a Reincarnated Yin-Yang Butterfly. It would be difficult to recreate another.
"I see," Leng Hui uttered in extreme disappointment.
He wanted to buy this butterfly from Yun Jiuge. But when he saw how fond Yun Jiuge was of this butterfly, perhaps she would not part with this cherished pet. But he did not want to give up without asking.
Leng Hui was thinking about how to bring up the topic when Leng Bai pulled him over and pointed to the open space that emerged after the Fiendish Qi vanished, saying, "A thoroughfare has appeared."
A black ladder appeared in front of everyone.
"Let's go!" Yun Jiuge said excitedly as she waved.
The female Scorpion and Feifei had both gained benefits. It could be the Treasure-hunting Scorpion's turn in the next floor. She looked forward to this quite a bit!
Zi Shang swept his icy gaze across Leng Hui and his brothers before he took hold of Yun Jiuge's hand to get on the black ladder.
Leng Hui momentarily choked on his saliva. Zi Shang's gaze clearly warned them not to get any ideas.
"Big Brother, things are already good now," Leng Bai commented. He understood his oldest brother's intentions and he also very much wanted to have that amazing butterfly.
But he was well aware that their entire Hui Kingdom was not worth mentioning to these two foreign Cultivators. Angering them would only bring catastrophe.
"Okay," Leng Hui answered as he helplessly suppressed his idea and followed suit in going up the black ladder.
The seventh floor was a Labyrinth of Mirrors. Panels of incomparably smooth crystal mirrors filled up the entire space, as if there were countless figures staring back at them. It made them dizzy.
"How can we pass through this?" Yun Jiuge asked. She looked at the densely packed reflections of herself in the mirrors and felt goose bumps.
"Let me have a look," Zi Shang replied as he looked around to assess the situation.
"The sixth and seventh floors are both Labyrinths. These mirrors are formed by Fantasy Qi, so breaking them won't work. The only way to get through this is to find the right passageway," Leng Hui said.
The Labyrinth of Mirrors might have seemed simple, with the mirrors looking like they could be easily broken. But for it to appear on the sixth floor showed how complex a place it was.
If someone inexperienced were to blast the mirrors to pieces, he would immediately be taken back to the first floor. The Labyrinth would then also start to spread from the first floor. One would be trapped inside forever if one could not find a way out. This was one of the most complex obstacles in the tower.
"I hate walking in a Labyrinth," Yun Jiuge commented. She was most troubled by these paths that looked identical and not knowing whether to turn left or right.
"Take your Panic Grass out," Zi Shang instructed. He had already come up with a way.


She roused from a pool of blood, vowing to exact retribution on those who had harmed her. 
She slapped her despicable father and smacked his wicked concubines 
 She trampled on a two-faced girl who acted innocent but had a malicious heart, and pointed her sword towards the heartless man who was unworthy of her love. 
Countless beasts trembled in front of her cute pet, and her divine artifact intimidated even the Ninth Heaven. 
As soon as her Elixir  Furnace was lit up, the world came to kneel before her. 
Between him and her, it all started with a fair trade. Yet, the handsome demon ended up being obsessed with her. 
“Lay an egg for me, and I’ll promise you a peaceful life in any of the three realms!” He wrapped himself around her eagerly. 
“Leave me alone, and I’ll grant you a long life till eternity!” She pushed him away with a defiant laugh. 
 

As the birds chirped, I slowly opened my eyes. Sitting on my bed, I looked out the window. Another day had just began, and the sunlight came in through the window in a beautiful shade of yellow.

" I can't wait to see who come today!" I said to myself excitedly. I went to the bathroom and take a bath, after changing clothes, I made my way to the kitchen and made myself a slice of bread with some jam. As I ate the bread, I opened an dark oak door carved beautifully to a shape of a hut.

I closed the door behind me and walked into a room full of mirrors, it was, except the mirrors didn't reflect myself, they reflect a family, who just made their way in the house. "It's so beautiful dad!" a little girl who came with the family said in awe. "I know Amber, we'll stay here for one night" a tall man with black hair answer, 'looks like her dad' I thought. The family start unpacking, the girl called Amber ran into a bedroom, which looks exactly like mine. "I want to sleep here!" she said, " Okay then sweety, me and your dad will sleep in the other bedroom" a woman who seems to be her mother answer. Amber pull out a small pink book from her bag, and also took out a pen. She start to wrote on it, "It must be a diary" I said to myself. I examined her, she looks about 10, with a long blonde hair and brown eyes, she's wearing a casual shirt and grey trousers. " You're beautiful" I said, she didn't seems to be bothered. I let out a sigh, 'Of course she can't hear you Zoey' I whispered to myself, annoyed. 

It's been about 4 years since I trapped in this house, I woke up under a huge tree on the hill outside the house, not remembering anything except my name and age, when I got in the house, I found a door which led me into a room full of mirrors, and different people came in everyday, looks like the house is rented, they can't see me nor hear me, but I can see them through every mirror in the house. I've tried to get out from the house but there seems like a barrier outside the house, which push me away everytime I tried to pass it. The only place I can visit outside the house is the huge tree where I first woke up. But little did I know my life will change in a short time. My name is Zoey Miller, I'm 14 years old, and this is my story...

The bonquet hall was one small hall but was decorated extravagantly in all white with white curtains, mirrors and other decorative hangings and it gave out a pure vibe. The dias was low and the entire hall was decorated with tulips, white roses and different kinds of lilies. The entire theme suited perfectly with the dresses of Abhi and Shriya.

The dias had an entrance which is made of beautiful flowers and leaves and the arch looked perfect for photoshoot. 

The entire hall was lit up with different kinds of LED lights and the entire ceiling was decorated with beautiful and bright lights and chandeliers.

 There were two big round tables which can accommodate atleast twelve persons each are present on either side of the   dias.  The tables have scented candles lit on them and gave a warm and a peaceful feeling. 

 Everyone gathered at the hall and was waiting for the people who are getting engaged there to arrive.

Sony wore the sky blue and baby pink sequence netted lehenga and she matched it with simple uncut diamond set and she looked so pure and perfect.

Gouthami wore the yellow and black lengths and she matched it with a pair of heavy golden junkies. She didn't wear any necklace and her hair was braided into a side bun decorated with flowers and she gave out a modern and a confident aura.

Brahmini wore a peach colored long dress and she wore only a pair or pink ear studs on her. Manvi wore the white saree with mirrors and she also had diamond hangings. Her hair was left loose and was put onto her one shoulder. She had her mangalsutr on her neck and it looked perfect and simple on her.

 Pumpkin wore the saffron colored long dress with a gold colored banaras jacket over it and she wore a pair of golden kundan ear studs and the dress matched her tomboy personality.

Pretti wore a mini version of Shriya's dress. A helper helper her dress up. She also wore the same kind of junkies but they are light in weight and she carried it with ease. Her hair was made into beautiful curls and let loose onto her shoulders  and she had a few pins on her hair and she looked super adorable and cute just like a little princess who walked out of the Disney land. 

She stood next to Gouthami and Rahul and fir some they looked like a perfect family. He kissed he cheek and said while pinching her small nose "My devil looks pretty today" and the little girl giggled happily. 

All the men kept their look simple by wearing a plain white shirt and a pair of jeans pants. All of them looked elegant. 

Atlast, under so many happy faces and expectations Shriya and Abhi came to the hall walking hand in hand.

The girls were surprised to see Shriya in that dress. They had no idea about the dress Abhi presented and even Shriya forgot to tell her friends as they were busy with the fair event before. 

Shriya looked at the people and around the hall and her smile stiffened. Though she recovered soon and smiled the smile didn't touch her eyes.

Abhi could sense the change in her and he didn't react to it. They walked towards the dais with bleaming smiles on their faces. 

They reached the dais and stood on it. There was also a purohit present there and the servants arranged two beautiful sankheda cushion stools for them to sit and one for the purohit. 

Shriya and Abhi sat on them and the purohit chanted few mantras and done some pooja. All the members occupied the two big tables which are just opposite to the dais and watched the ceremony. 

Vamshi and few other photographers stated their work by capturing every moment and recording it. 

After twenty minutes the pooja was done and it was almost time for them to exchange the rings. 

They stood up and everyone else also stood up and gathered near the dais. Shriya was happy and she enjoyed the moment. 

But when Abhi took the ring from Kunal's hand, her face. She constantly looked at the entrance expectantly. 

Abhi murmured in her ears in a concerned tone "You are looking at the entrance. Are you expecting someone. love ?".

She looked at him and said while nodding "Well, I am waiting for Naveem bhai. He said he will be here but he is not here yet."

Abhi nodded and looked at his watch. He then looked at the purohit and asked "How much time is there to exchange the rings".

He looked at Abhi with doubt but replied "Two minutes" and the latter nodded and said "Let's wait for them then".

She looked at him and was about to say something when two handsome men walked through the door.

Shriya was utterly happy and at the same time a bit surprised. She looked at her man surprised and then back at the two men and she couldn't believe her win eyes. She ran to them happily. 

Shriya walked upto Naveen who was smiling at her and was also apologizing while holding his ears as if he was about to do sit ups there  and said "Sorry, my flight was delayed".

She just nodded and smiled and Naveen whispered "Now go, or else boss will skin me out alive".

She then looked at the handsome man who was in a white plaid shirt with chinese collar and Khakis who was smiling at her with a beaming smile which made her eyes twinkle hearts. She hugged him and said "Thank you for coming here".

Everyone are shocked and Abhi was utterly shocked and felt speechless. He looked at his woman and the man beside her who was giggling at her like a happy kid.

How does her life change after she met that dream man  of all the girls in the entire country. 

Thought: "What you have left with is more important than what you have lost".

In the time it took Wang Lu to get from the study to the front door, the ringing doorbell had turned from a mild nuisance to a raging headache.
Wang Lu opened the front door and glared at everything in his path, the sun, the grass, the birds flitting through the air, and especially the smiling postman with a package in his hands. It was too early in his opinion to be smiling that much and genuinely.
"The Lu's mansion?" Came the gentle inquiry from the postman who had dimmed the wattage of his smile
"Yes," his voice was hoarse, roughened by lack of sleep and a serious hangover.
"I have a package for you," the postman answered before thrusting a clipboard at him "please sign here"
Wang Lu grabbed the clipboard and sprawled almost illegibly across its surface before passing it back, the postman quickly replaced it with a slim but thick package and a murmured, "have a nice day" before backing out of his driveway.
Wang Lu looked at the package in his hands, but didn't even bother to check the name on it. It looked important and it was obviously something that would require all of his attention, he wasn't ready to give it yet.
Standing in the doorway with the noise of birds in the outer garden filling the air, he scratched his face absently and wondered where his butler and servants was, closely followed by thoughts of coffee.
He closed the door gently, if for no reason than to prevent aggravating the marching band in his head, and stepped back into the house.
Wang Lu turned towards the kitchen and froze when he caught sight of himself in one of the decorative mirrors on the wall.
He looked rough, haggard, and unkempt. His eyes were swollen and red, rimmed with an even bigger band of red and veins lining his pupils. His lips looked just a little blue and thinned, he could see the lines bracketing his face and the scruff that he had left untended for several days that was growing into a red rash of a beard.
His hair was clean but otherwise in disarray but his biggest shock was the look in his eyes, it was too much and too little all at the same time and Wang Lu remembered why he had been avoiding mirrors for a while, call him a coward but he wasn't ready to see what he had finally become....yet. Ever since he came back from meeting Lei Zhao, his life let's say has been a quite a mess.
Arriving in the kitchen he cast a cursory look at the expanse of steel and marble with nothing out of place and finally located the bubbling coffee pot.
It told him his butler and servants was somewhere in the house, maybe too far away to hear the doorbell ring. Two cups of black coffee later he felt more like himself more capable of dealing with the contents of his slim package.
He placed it dead center on the table in front of him, barely an inch from his cup of coffee. He sat down on one of the kitchen stools and exhaled loudly
Wang Lu eyed it again, noting the lack of a return address or the indication of whoever sent the package. He knew the contents were going to be life-changing, he couldn't exactly dismiss the strong sense of foreboding that had gripped him since it landed in his hands but he vaguely wondered if he was interested in having his life changed just yet. He was still reeling from the last time he had his world ripped out from under him.
Wang Lu eyed the package with mounting curiosity and swore, a harsh sound in the serene environment of the kitchen before getting to his feet to dump his cup in the sink before returning to hunch over the package.
He swore again and attacked the packaging. The pictures slid out first, then the letter then a thin stack of papers.
He tore open the letter first, unable to look at the pictures, the last time he had looked at pictures he hadn't quite survived it. Even now he wished he had been given a choice of ignorance, he wished someone had asked his permission before forcing their own twisted truth on him.
The first line snagged his attention... It began innocently enough.
"All these years you have been blinded by your ego. I hope these removes the blind fold from your eyes. And you regret losing the only person who truly ever loved you."
The words hit him with the force of a death knell, he couldn't help the low grunt of anguish, he quickly abandoned the letter in favor of the pictures but they weren't any kinder.
Slowly, the blindfold was removed from his eyes. He couldn't help returning to the letter every time, hoping to find something, anything to make sense of the hell he had put himself through.
Every line, every flat surface, every glossy picture condemned him, told a story in which he was a villain. He felt his heartbreak, felt the tears stream down his face until they eddied in his scruffy beard.  
Around Wang Lu were the pieces of a lie he had believed but he couldn't even claim to be the victim, he couldn't claim to be the one hurt. He had been the blind person, breaking the people he loved, blinding by his hurt pride and a huge ego.
He had destroyed something, something he hadn't deserved in the first place.
For maybe the first time in a long time, he had a purpose, it wasn't pretty, it wasn't good, it didn't suddenly make him the good guy but at least he was no longer the blind fool playing the martyr.
Wang Lu pulled all the pictures and papers together and headed for his study in purposeful motion, he had things to do.  
He dropped everything on the table and reached for the phone. First things first, he needed to truly see people for whom they were, starting the ones closest to him.
The connection clicked and he heard that familiar voice from several miles away, "hello mother"

*Nothing can come between my husband and I,not even death.*


~She was sad, hurt, and depressed. She was a mess, a monster who was slowly fading in her dark, lonely world until he came along. Like a twinkle little star, he brightened her horrid world. He was no one but her happy pill~

(Couple 1)

"Tell me Wifey, has any man ever made you feel the way I do?" Lei Zhao asked.

"Will it hurt if I tell you someone has?" Yan Mei inquired.

A cheeky grin appeared on Lei Zhao's lips.

"It wouldn't because I am sure no one has done it, especially the way you scream with pleasure under me."

--------
Yan Mei, an aloof CEO known as the devil strongly believes love is a scam because she has experienced the joy and sadness of it. Now her heart has turned into a piece of stone encased by steel.

After a chance encounter with a woman in a red suit at a club, he finds himself drawn to her.

(Couple 2)
~She became the monster, parents told their kids to run away from, but she was far from a monster. She was just a lonely girl who wanted a friend who would always be there for her, who would check up on her and ask her how she was~

"This isn't a fairytale or a teen fiction where the bad girl falls for the good boy and tries to change for him, and then they live happily ever after. This is real life, and well, life is fucked up."

Ying Sheng said, and she gulped the beer she was holding, loneliness flickering in her eyes.

"But I-I won't ask you.. to change or want you to change. I just want you to be my bad girl. You --can tie me up in bed- and fu…ck me until I forget my name." Liam stammered as he turned crimson red.

Ying Sheng heaved a sigh, "Cutie, you're supposed to look for a trophy wife who can cook and do chores. Not a monster like me who will destroy your perfect life. Also, we can't be together."

Liam's heart nearly stopped in his chest when he heard her. His shoulders hunched, and he took a deep breath.

'Why?" He queried.

"Because I love someone else."

~At times you have to choose between the one you love and the one who loves you. Ying Sheng learned this in a hard way.~

With everybody focused on the castle once again, Dani ordered the invasion. They jumped the wall one by one. Logan cast an illusion that kept them mostly hidden as they snuck into the courtyard. The team remained low, keeping their formation as before. Closer to the castle, within the courtyard, snowmen patrolled. This was easy for Logan and Leira to handle.

They ducked behind fresh carven fixtures throughout the courtyard. Decorative stone statutes and well-trimmed bushes were merely tools for them to kill the enemy. The pair snuck around laying traps to stun while silently killing the snowmen with fire magic. It was quite frequent that Logan would set a fire trap and allow Leira to kill them with a flame arrow. The two executed the plan flawlessly, leading Dani and Andres to the castle wall.

The wall had a beautiful exterior design that would allow them to climb up to a balcony on the third floor. Andres even cracked a joke that it pays not to be fancy. Logan began climbing up with an illusion to help prevent anything from seeing them. Dani stuck close behind him, Leira struggled her little way in front of Andres who was most suited to carry her in a worst-case scenario.

Once they climbed up, the four had quietly jumped down to a balcony on the third floor. They remained hidden low while Logan sensed inside the castle. Leira peaked over the balcony, gazing upon its beauty. She admired the was the water was frozen from the fountains and the trees. Snowman patrolled through un-ventured areas of the courtyard. She couldn't help wondering what it would be like to ice skate on the large frozen fountains. Andres was smashed into the balcony which brought Leira back into focus.

Andres rose his shield in time as a giant bold pincer stabbed at him. The pincers continued stabbing at Andres prompting Leira to shoot it away. As she stood up turning towards the hairy attacker, Leira's legs began to tremble. Her bow aimed away to the ground while Leira herself was screaming. She squirmed herself into a corner on the balcony in hopes that her escorts would.

Andres was being smashed into the floor while maintaining a firm grip on his shield. The hairy creature stood tall with its spider body pushing forward. instead of a head, it had a human torso with giant eyes around its stomach, chest, and sides. There was no mouth visible. The pincer arms felt like missiles while banging into Andres' shield. It tried to aim for his legs. Andres wasn't a weak player to give the enemy that kind of privilege.

Leira was now crying harder than Mina ever did. Her face was between her legs, kissing her ass goodbye while tears spilled on the floor. Andres yelled for her not to quit. Luckily for him, Leira had no will to make any decision on her own at the moment.

Spring to his feet to dodge a pincer strike, Andres tossed his shield at the creature. It slammed into its eyes. Yet the creature chased Andres quicker. He parried with his sword to slice the left arm. He rolled over to grab his shield. The creature swung at him hard, but Andres tanked the full swing with his shield. After being slammed into a wall, a giant fireball shot the creature off of the balcony. Dani stood in a firm stance firing at multiple while Logan was slicing through the injured ones to kill them. Andres ran over to continue the fight while Leira sat in her corner.

It wasn't long for the three to kill off the creatures. Sure it wasn't tactical. In fact, they were now exposed in the castle. Even so, they were still full of energy and ready to take on another boss.

Logan grabbed up Leira by the hand, pulling on her to follow them. Andres began storming through the halls of the castle, guiding them through the safest routes. Room by room, the four ran launching surprise attacks on their foes. Leira was scared of the creatures. Likewise, she was amazed by the beautiful crystal design of the castle. They looted the rooms afterward and found many points in treasure chests. Further looting allowed the team to find a new bow and axe for Leira. Andres chose to carry the axe on his hip to continue using his 

Dani couldn't help to notice that they weren't getting anywhere running around the castle. Unfortunately, Andres couldn't find any new routes. He was stuck leading the team in circles endlessly. Even Leira knew there was something up.

Dani began recounting their chosen pathways in the castle as Logan looked about the crystalized mirrors on the walls. He observed how each one reflected him. Slowly motioning his hand, Logan realized that one of the mirrors reflected him slightly different.

"What's up Logan?" asked Andres as Logan himself faced the mirror with a slightly different reflection.

"Let's smash it," he said.

In an instant, Dani fired a pure magical bullet that smashed the mirror to dust. The crystallized dust blew around towards the center of the room to form a scythe-wielding warrior made of crystallized glass. Its glass eyes were filled with sorrow. He launched himself at Leira for a kill. Each swing of his scythe sent a gust of ice particles that froze anything it touched. Andres defended Leira, allowing Dani to shoot at the crystal warrior multiple times. Once Logan was close enough, he used his sword to disable the warrior and dodged the warrior's counterstrike. Andres threw his shield at the warrior's head, allowing Logan to pierce his sword into him.

"Scatter," yelled Logan, causing the warrior the shatter into tiny glass pieces.

Leira stood recalling how the warrior was able to freeze things and wondered why would Logan get close to such a warrior. She looked at Logan's face and noticed his smile. It wasn't a smirk of victory. Rather it was a smile of fun that people commonly wore when they were aroused playing sports or a video game.

Dani walked over and smacked Logan on his head. This didn't hide Andres' cheeky smile as he grabbed his shield.

The two boys laughed as Dani tried to pull them together. She looked over at Leira who was pretty lost on the motives at this point.

"They're just having fun," said Dani as she shook her head. "But seriously, we need to take this seriously. So get it together".

"I don't know what you want from us," smirked Andres, "You know we love this".

The agitated Dani pointed out that nothing was behind the smashed mirror and there were likely more mirrors that they must destroy to unlock something. This was quite obvious, causing Logan to mock her. Dani refrained from beating Logan further and insisted that they look for more mirrors to break. This was fine with the boys. Though as they began retracing themselves around the third floor of the castle, Logan couldn't help but notice that one of the giant mirrors in the hallway had a tint of red. They stopped to investigate it. Yet couldn't find any abnormalities.

Thus the four continued smashing the odd mirror in each room and subsequently defeating the scythe-wielding warriors from each mirror. This left them roaming about looking for the next piece to the puzzle. Coming across the giant mirror in the hallway again, the team realized it was no longer tinted, but rather red. 

Dani positioned her team behind a fixture, ready for combat. She shot out a well charged magical bullet that blew up the mirror. Leira felt the shockwave of glass brush through them. Her skin felt as though sandpaper was yanking her hairs off her body. Her heart was about to burst until Andres called "clear".

Dani gasped as she looked towards the shattered mirror. Leira took a peak witnessing a giant hidden room now accessible. Unlike the rest of the third floor, this hidden room was made of a dark stone with bloodstains on the walls. The air from this form blew out a stank that was foreign to Leira but strong enough to make her not want to go in. What's worse, there was a circular platform in the wall with two chained giants next to it. 

"They're dead," said Logan as he sauntered towards the platform. 

Andres looked at the two dead giants realizing that despite being dead, they were still conscious. Unlike Logan who was eager to ride the platform with Dani, Andres approached the two lifeless giants. 

Chains were attached to their spine and joints, bounding them to the wall. "Please help us," begged the giant on the left. A black venom spewed from his mouth. 

"What happened to you guys?" asked Andres, observing the scarless bodies of the giants. 

The giant on the right began shaking as he stretched his arms and said, "We're prisoners of Eisheth Zenunim. She has captured our souls and imprisoned us here in the Tower of Envy". 

The left giant continued, "Please if it's not too much. Release us from the belly of the hungry bride. You must rip her stomach open to free the souls of her many victims". 

"Where can we find her?" asked Andres. 

The right giant answered, "In the far castle with her husband, The King of The Fifth Realm. Free our souls and return to this forest. And we will show our gratitude by granting you our power". 

The giants believed the sincerity in not only Andres' eyes but also in his words as he spoke, "I accept your quest. I will venture to the tombs of Samael himself. Find this wicked witch by the name of Eisheth and drive my blade through her stomach". 

The two giants held their hands out as a way to give thanks for Andres' generosity as he continued, "And when I am done, I will be back to claim my reward and have a good solid quest defeating demons with my two new friends". 

Andres nodded his head at the two giants as he walked onto the platform. Black venom tears rolled the cheeks of the two imprisoned giants as they turned their heads. Everybody stared back at the giants in question of what they were about to do. 

"We're sorry," said the two giants, "You do not have access to use this elevator. We must send you all to the beast for consumption". The platform closed itself off to not allow anybody off.

"Assholes," responded Dani. 

The giants continued, "Only by defeating the demon in the keep to which we send and stealing the jewel from its collar will thou be allowed to travel to all floors". 

Andres gave a smile that cheered the cold hearts of the giants and said, "then so be it". 

Symbols on the walls surrounding the platform glowed. The platform began lowering itself to the dungeon at the bottom of the castle. Logan remained patient with his hands covering his pelvic. He sternly told Andres, "You're full of shit". Dani nodded her head to Logan's truthful words.

Artist: Serah Fletcher aka gr0vey.art on Instagram

A masterpiece. A stunning piece of art. It's an image of an outrageously handsome young man. A fair skin, perfectly smooth and unblemished. His fine gray hair is particularly eye-grabbing due to its peculiarity. Those things paired with his face, endowed with ethereal proportions, he doesn't fall short when compared to a deity's beauty. He sat in silence as he seemed to be immersed in deep thoughts. His figure exudes an aura of a fierce and mighty Emperor who is capable of toppling the world over, except he wasn't sitting on a throne. He's atop an expensive toilet bowl, sleeping.

A sudden urge to take a dump woke him up. The lids of his eyes opened up and revealed its beautiful silver color but slightly bloodshot. His eyelids were also a bit puffy but nonetheless, he's still drop dead gorgeous. He uttered a loud yawn and finally felt awake.

"I'm in the toilet, huh? Well, that's a first. And man, answering the call of nature has never been this easy. haha"

"But seriously though, I'm never drinking again! Ugh! My head hurts. I'm glad I woke up here. If I would have been anywhere else, I would have taken a dump right then and there. I really don't feel like moving. Should I just stay here for the rest of the day? Hmm... Well, too bad I can't let the food delivery guy give me my order directly here in the bathroom, or can I? "

"Argh! Whatever. I'll just hope this headache won't last that long."

"I can't believe some people like to do this often. Is it fun for them to suffer like this? Hangover, right? I think that's what this is called if I remember it right. I thought it wouldn't be that bad but experiencing it firsthand... ugh. I don't wanna talk about it."

He talks by himself, yes. And it isn't just that. Everything he does, he does it by himself. He's got no friends and at all. No family either. He's got no one. With his way of life, the only human interaction he could possibly get is when he has to receive food or other things that he orders online. 

"Hoo! That was a good dump. Man, that was a lot. hahaha"

"Disgusting things aside, If I'm not mistaken, they would release a bunch of chapters today! Crap! I have to move! You can do it, me!"

"AAAAAH!"

His weeb blood boiled and he summoned all of his willpower as he charged out of the bathroom with a loud warcry, forgetting to redo his pants properly. He successfully made it past the bathroom door before finally facing a calamity made out of his carelessness. His pants slid and fell past his knees and there he goes tumbling down. As if not wanting to give up a tough battle, adrenaline kicked in. In the heat of the moment, he just took and threw his pants away. He quickly stood back up again and started running with only his undies on. His destination was supposed to be his computer room but he took a detour and went to his bedroom instead. As soon as he saw his bed, he accelerated and took a long jump, landing face down on a fragrant cushion. 

"Woah! That was intense! I can't believe I made it this far!"

"Hahahaha"

His triumphant laugh lasted for some time before he finally felt tired and stupid for doing for it so long. As a loner, this was his kind of fun.

"Now let me sleep just for five minutes then I'll start grinding on those chapters."

With no one to wake him up, his sleep lasted far longer than what he has promised himself. Five minutes became five hours and finally, he woke up at the sixth hour. His eyes opened and gazed at the familiar ceiling for a while as it reminded him of something.

"It has been 8 months already, huh? But I..." 

"I still can't remember anything."

He quickly discarded those depressing thoughts away. He got out of bed and went on with his daily routine, reading till the sun went down and sleepiness came knocking again.

______________________________________________


Even a person as weird and crazy as him still has his own fair share of problems. For his case, it is rather not a simple matter. He just woke up one day with a note in his hand. "Live", that's what it said. Who wrote the note? He doesn't know. 

Live.. As he started thinking about it...

 "How am I supposed to do that?"

He realized he doesn't know a single thing about life or how he lived his. The sound of his voice even surprised him. He can't remember himself sounding like that. He can't remember anything. Not his even own name. He stared at his hands with lifeless eyes. His hands were trembling as it traveled to touch his face. The thought that he doesn't even know how he looks like was the last straw drawn before his mind totally broke down. Everything about himself feels so unfamiliar. It's like he's living in a stranger's body.  

"Who am I? What's happening? Where am I? Why..." His soft and shaky voice died down as if his brain just stopped working. He laid in his huge bed, lost and confused. His mind grew tired as he was lost in the chaos within him. He passed out and fell into a deep slumber once again.

Deep inside him, in his pulsating soul...

[Data successfully uploaded into brain database.]

[Trigger successfully generated. Phase 2 will initiate when the trigger is activated.]

[Phase 1 complete. Soul Program will now remain on standby.]

Apparently, this soul program is also fond of talking by itself. The host himself is unaware of this mysterious phenomenon.

It took him about 12 hours before finally regaining consciousness. His eyes are now glimmering with a brand new light. A bit of confusion was still apparent on his face but at least he looks more alive now.

"What is this? I feel different again. I feel strangely calm. Wasn't I losing my mind just a while ago?" 

"Well, whatever. I feel a lot better now."

"Live, huh? I guess I'll do just that. I've got no ideas how but I guess I'll start with looking for food. I'm starving."

He is now oozing with positivity and he has no idea where he took it from. Now that his mind has finally started to work like a normal human being, he finally noticed his surroundings.
 
"Porthault Jours de Paris. These sheets are expensive. A huge bed covered with expensive sheets... Whoever owns this house is someone wealthy."

There were no signs of amazement or awe in his voice. He was just stating facts casually. In fact, he was more interested in how he got all these knowledge. He feels like he actually has a deep and broad knowledge about tons of different things in this world. He can't verbally quantify how much he knows. He just has that feeling of being somewhat all-knowing. It's a total mystery. He knows so much about the world but not a single thing about himself. Not wanting to spoil his mood, he just decided to ignore that problem of his. He got out of bed with a steady mindset: 'I'll face what I have to face and ignore what I can ignore.'
  
"So it was floating the whole time. A magnetic floating bed, huh? An overly expensive item. This place got to be the master's bedroom. If this is my house, then I must be filthy rich."

"If so, Where did I get all my wealth from?" He was lost in thought within just a matter of seconds. He immediately decided to throw all those thoughts at the back of his head. 

"I just hope I earned all of this legally." 

"Aside from my bed, I don't have any more pieces of furniture so why did I have to make my room this big? Hmm... Well, I like it so I guess that's that."

"I guess that door is the way out of this room so what is that other door for?"

He walked across the room with his eyes gleaming with a tinge of curiosity.
 
The door slip open automatically when it sensed him approaching.

"Clothes. Clothes everywhere. This is too much. I don't think I can use all of this in my lifetime."

It's a huge dressing room. Even bigger than his bedroom. And just like any other dressing rooms, it's not lacking mirrors. 

"I look good I guess." He stared at his reflection expressionlessly. He hasn't established a sense of human beauty yet so he's not that sure if he's handsome or not. He just felt that his face is easy to look at. Even a bit pleasing.

 After satisfying his new found sense of vanity, he continued browsing the room and stumbled upon a wallet that was placed on a glass pedestal.

"Now this must be either super expensive too or it contains a lot of important things.", he thought as he noticed how it is presented. He took the wallet in his hands to browse its contents. He found a bunch of cards and checks but what took his attention the most was an identification card. One glance and he was relieved that it really is his ID because he saw the image of his face in it. And with that, it was also confirmed that everything here really is his belonging. Most importantly, one of his biggest concerns is about to be answered.

"So... I am... Garen Silvermoon." He doesn't know how to react now that he finally knows what his name is so just shrugged off this awkward feeling and read the rest of the information written in his ID. 

"I was born on the 6th of March year 1997. So how old am I? Unfortunately, I don't know what year it is right now. But just considering how I look, I guess I'm still young. Given that I'm still young, then how did I get this rich? I have a wealthy family and I'm just leeching off them is also a possibility."

"Family, huh? I wonder if I really have one."   

He wasn't particularly saddened by the thought of possibly not having a family. He doesn't know what it feels like to have one so its absence means nothing to him.

*growl*

The sound of his hungry stomach pulled him out of his thoughts.

"I forgot I was originally looking for food. I hope I can find something in the kitchen."

He began his search for the kitchen. Thankfully, he didn't get lost for too long in his huge mansion. His bedroom is located on the second floor and he found the kitchen downstairs. He found 6 dozens of donuts and 3 bottles of 1-liter cola in the fridge. That's all it has in it. He decided not to question himself anymore for whatever he may find in the mansion because there's no point to it. So he just shut up and ate his fill. 

After consuming 2 dozens of donuts and a liter of cola, he decided to continue his house tour. He wants to know what else his mansion has to offer. He spent 2 hours walking around and getting amazed before finally finishing the tour. It took him that long because first of all, the mansion is huge and secondly, he tried out the things he found interesting in each room. He had a great time and as far as his memory goes, this was his first time having fun. He went back to his bedroom with a satisfied and joyful expression.

"This place is bigger than I imagined. Too big for a single man to live in." He sat on his bed as recalled everything he saw during the house tour. He's living in a 3-story mansion plus a needlessly huge basement garage with a swimming pool in it. There he found 5 luxury cars he's not even sure he could drive. Moreover, he has no plans of going out to see the world so he thought that those cars would pile up some dust for now. Just like his bedroom, the rest of the mansion isn't filled with any decorative pieces of furniture too. That fact, paired with the mansion's neat modern theme, he felt satisfied. He thinks that an almost empty room is much more pleasing to the eye. Maybe his past self just like clothes too much that it led to an over the top apparel collection. Aside from that, he has no issues. No, wait. There's actually one. He met nobody during the house tour. If he's living alone the whole time, then who's in charge of maintaining the mansion? There's no way he could do all the chores alone. Is he supposed to call someone over to do it for him? He's aware that such services do exist but he thinks that he's not yet ready for human interaction so just like his other concerns, big or small, he just threw it at the back of his mind. 

Just like that, he started his life alone. He found out that the day when he first woke up was actually his birthday but he didn't think too much of it. He was never bored in his mansion because thankfully, this place has it all. He started playing some MOBA games in his high-spec gaming pc. He also gained interest in music and with the help of the internet, he started learning various musical instruments. Fortunately, his music room has enough pieces of equipment and instruments to form a band or produce music on a professional level so his new found goal of producing his own song can be realized in just a matter of time. He just found music as something so magical. Music made him feel various emotions he never felt before. He shed his first tears because of an emotional song. He didn't know why but it just hit him hard. His love for music deepened day by day as he explored different genres and it kept him company in whatever he does. He also picked up dancing because some songs just make him want to move his body and lose it.

If music is his first love then what comes second is the world of anime. He's so glad that he randomly came across it on the internet. Anime introduced him to various worlds each having its own unique charm. A lot of anime may defy common sense and logic but he didn't care about that. For him, what matters are the emotions it brought through its storytelling. Sooner than he imagined, he became addicted to it. There came the sleepless nights with him just binge watching. Then his anime addiction spread to reading manga and last but absolutely not the least, light novels. Reading a light novel while listening to a certain music that fits is just... Perfection. Now he's just a weeb through and through.
 
His first eight months of living went on peacefully.

Present day

It was already eleven in the morning but he's still asleep. A sound that he doesn't hear much often woke him up though. 

"What's up with the door buzzer? Did I just 'sleep-order' something? I can't remember calling someone over."

He was clearly annoyed because he's used to waking up whenever he pleases. With a sour mood, he forced himself to get out of bed to attend to the guest downstairs.  He simply doesn't want to be rude and keep them waiting for so long. 

Before opening the door, he calmed himself down and readied his well-practiced welcoming face that he prepared for dealing with every delivery person.

"Hello..." His voice slowly died down as he noticed that it's not a delivery guy. In front of him stood a young man, clad in black. 

He barely managed to maintain his welcoming expression as he asked the guest a question.

"How may I help you?"

"It's nice to finally meet you, Sir Garen Silvermoon. You can call me Athos. I'm sorry I'm late."

"Like the moon, I borrow my existence from the light of day yet I'm destined to rule over the night. But unlike the moon, I'm not a slave to my destiny."  - Garen Silvermoon

"Young Sire are you there?" Someone called.

Ziggy cleared his throat and calmed himself up before he answered, "Who is it?"

"Young Master its Ellie" 

When he heard the name, he breathe a sigh of relief. Ziggy went and dragged the chair that he used to block the door and opened it. He saw Ellie standing tall in his normal butler suit.

"Why are you here?"

"He brought me in" A familiar voice resounded from the stairs. It was the voice Ziggy was dreading to hear. It sent some chills into his back and his face went pale. 

"Young Sire are you alright? You seemed to be afraid of something," Sam asked as she halted beside Ellie. Her voice was carrying a hint of concern yet to Ziggy, it sounded like a sarcasm.

"Of course I am!" He retorted loudly, "…I mean I'm alright, and I'm not scared of anything!"

The young sire's inimical response drew a confusion in the two servant's face. What was wrong with the Young Sire? Good thing both of them knew Dr. Miles banished the three in Richmond Ranch, so they rather understand Ziggy's unusual behavior. He must be having a hard time being away from his friends.

"Young sire I'll leave you to rest then" Ellie finally concluded. He bowed and turned his back from Ziggy and charged down the stairs.

"Hey Ellie, wait!" Ziggy called upon him in haste.

"Yes young sire?" 

"Why don't you stay here for the night?" He asked his butler in hopes of having another companion in the house aside from his weird bodyguard. "I mean it's not safe anymore to go home to the villa…"

"…You know it's already dark outside. It's not safe to drive at nighttime" he added to convince him further.

Ellie's head formed lines as he casted him a polite glance. From what he knew, the young sire didn't like servants roaming around his apartment and now he wanted him to stay?

"I would love to youngest sire. Unfortunately, I have to attend few matters in the villa tonight. Do not worry; you are safe here with Sam. You don't have to be afraid of anything," He explained apologetically.

"I said I'm not afraid of anything!" The young sire hollered again in defense. He realized he could not force Ellie to stay so he decided to dismiss him apathetically "Just leave."

As soon as Ellie left, Ziggy retreated to his bedroom and tossed himself in his bed facing down. Suddenly he felt exhausted. He closed his eyes while his face was buried in the soft covers of his bed however before sleepiness consumed him, he saw Samuelle entered his bedroom from the corner of his eye.

Heck! He jumped out of bed immediately. Suddenly he was wide awake again! And shaking in fear too.

"What are you doing?" He asked as he wrapped his arms around his chest.

"I'm checking out if your room is safe" Sam answered impassively as she inspected every corner of his room. She also examined how high the window was from the first floor and whether it was possible for someone to enter through it from the outside.

"I'm already going to sleep" He stated in a way to convey to her that she isn't welcome in his room.

"Then I'll watch you sleep." She retorted in a poker face.

"What?" He aggressively raised his voice to an octave. "You can't stay in my room!"

"I'll stay outside the door then" She concluded.

"No!" Ziggy protested, he was losing his patience and sanity to this girl. "I mean don't stay there, I'm not comfortable of servants being around me"

"You won't notice that I'm here" She assured him.

Unknown to Sam, Ziggy's insides were shaking in fear. He was afraid that once he closed his eyes and fell asleep, she would go wrestling him in his bed. It was shameful to admit, but indeed he was afraid of Samuelle. There's something about this girl that makes his knees tremble, her sexual preference perhaps.

"You are not staying here with me. Not in my room and not outside the door." He commanded as he put up a hard face in front of her. God knows how much effort it took him to put up that façade. "Follow me"

Ziggy flew out of his bedroom and went downstairs to open a guestroom. One door away from her is not safe at all, maybe one floor away will do.

"This is you room, you stay here and don't go upstairs unless it's a life and death situation. Understood?" He stated wearing that hard façade.

Samuelle entered the bedroom and the first thing she saw was the dark brown modern folk bed covered with wood grain coverlet and floppy pillows. It was a small room with all the right essentials for guests in it.

"Remember, you are not allowed upstairs!" Ziggy repeated as he glared at her.

Samuelle almost rolled her eyes at him but she didn't. The Youngest Sire is his master after all, so she must be polite at all cost.

"I understand Young Sire" She responded obediently as she looked back at him. One look and she could tell he was afraid. It made Samuelle curved the corner of her mouth naughtily.

Ziggy was taken aback when he saw her grinned. Her face was like a ragged street cat who found her lousy prey. 

"Young Sire, your hands are trembling. Are you feeling cold?" Samuelle said and slowly pull of the leather jack that was shrouding in her shoulders. She wore a sleeveless shirt under it, so when the jacket fell off, it revealed some of her skin. After then, she started to unbuckle her belt with her hands while fixing her eyes to his as her smile grew devilish.

Ziggy was stunned and unable to recover himself as he stared at his body guard starting to pull off her clothes one by one. It wasn't until when she lifted her shirt showing her seductive navel that he realized she was determined to get naked in front of him.

He instinctively recoiled, flew out the guestroom and mounted to stairs as if a whirl of tornado was following behind him.

He immediately closed and locked his bedroom door. Not satisfied, he dragged one of the metal racks in his room to block the door. His room was filled with the thuds of books and decoratives that fell when he yanked the rack to where it was now. 

His emotions were mixed. And he didn't like the feeling. That woman was playing around him and he hated it!

"Fuck that woman!" He cursed as he kicked a decorative that was rolling in the floor. Turn out the decorative was a hard metal! His toe stung in split seconds.

"AHHHH!" He screamed in pain as he tried to keep steady with just one feet. He limped toward his bed and patted his hurt toe gently.

His anger and annoyance reached the height of his emotions. Out of the blue, tears brimmed from his eyes. The intense negative feelings he had earlier turned into loneliness. He missed Xhemin and Huzey suddenly. All don't work out well in his life when they are not around.

That woman. She was the root of all this mess! If not for her, they would not have made that bet. Then the commotion in the Roaster shouldn't have happened. They shouldn't have been banished from the ranch!

He must find a way to get even with Sammuelle to avenge his friends!
