John saw the world through his office windows, one last time. It was still as dark as to when he started; but at least he had people, who he can call friends, with him.

Zhang Zian decided to continue the pet store until he couldn’t support it anymore. His parents had loved pets very much. If they were looking down from heaven, they would be sad to see the store go.

Although it was a good wish, he knew nothing about running a pet store. There was a first time for everything, though; he believed he would find a way, one step at a time. 

His first goal would be relatively small—to establish a solid footing in the city. 

He had a big breakfast at a street vendor and felt energized. He returned to the store, moved the cages and display cases out, dusted with a broom, soaked the mop in disinfected water, and mopped the floor until it was nice and shiny. He moved the cages and display cases back after the floor had dried.

He also wanted to renovate the store, but he gave up on that thought after realizing the shortage in cash flow.

When he was cleaning the store, some neighbors walked by and expressed their sympathies for his loss. Some neighbors didn’t know him and just looked at the cages and display cases with curiosity.

When the sun started to rise, he finished cleaning. All the dust and odors were completely gone, leaving only the fresh scent from the disinfecting water. It smelled just like before.

His parents had always taught him to keep a clean mind and live a clean life. 

He had gotten all sweaty from cleaning the store. He moved the reclining chair to the door and rested for a few minutes. 

Now that he had decided to take over the pet store, there had to be some paperwork to handle. First, he needed to change the owner’s name from his parents to his name on the business license. He was not familiar with the procedure, so he started researching online using his cell phone.  

"I have to go to the notary’s office. So much work!"

In order to inherit and transfer the pet store to his name, he needed to get an inheritance notarization using his ID card, the deed for the pet store, and his parents’ death certificates.

Zhang Zian always tried to avoid dealing with troublesome matters like that because he hated them. He was not even sure how he made such an irrational decision like inheriting the pet store.

He wanted to have a fresh mind and pull himself together. No matter how sad he was, he should not show his tears to the customers.

He opened the app store in his cell phone and started a search with "pet" as a keyword. He wanted to see if there was an app which would teach people how to run a pet store, although deep in his mind he didn’t think he would be able to find it.

Umm, what was that?

A game with a "limited time download" sign showed up in the search results.

Some apps and software were free for a limited time, but this was the first time he ran into something tagged "limited time download."

"<Pet Hunter>?"

[Game Description]: This is a magical game! You can capture real or virtual pets in this game. You can even capture mythical creatures and turn them into your faithful friends or partners! Download now and run towards the sunset, young man!

Ha!

He laughed. He achieved his goal to freshen up his mood. 

Exaggerating! This was way over the line!

It might be possible to capture virtual pets, but how was it possible to capture a real pet with a cell phone? It even mentioned capturing mythical creatures... Unbelievable!

There was a countdown next to the game, showing that there were only 00 hours, 00 minutes, and 49 seconds left to download.

"Let’s see if this really is a ‘limited time download’!"

He hit the "download" button, and the download shortly reached full speed. 

This game was pretty large. Hopefully it wasn’t a virus!

He hesitated. When he was about to cancel the download, it showed "download completed!" on his cell phone.

Almost at the same time, the downloading page disappeared. The app store went back to the home page automatically. 

He put the keyword "pet" in the search bar again.

"Oh really?! Nothing?!"

The result showed nothing was matching his keyword. 

He didn’t want to give up yet. He added "hunter" after "pet" as keywords, but still nothing came up.

"This game is really a limited time download… What does the developer want?" he murmured to himself, confused.

Developers made games for marketing. The more players there were, the broader the influence. The broader the influence, the more money the game would make. Even free games earned reputation for the developer. Limiting the time to download meant limiting traffic. Who would do something like that? 

A dialogue popped up on his cell phone: Install? 

He chose "Yes."

Installing…

Installation completed. "Confirmed" or "Open"?

He chose "Open."

Initiating game…

The logo of "Pet Hunter" showed up on the screen.

[Game Hint]: This is an augmented reality game. It requires you to turn on your mobile camera and needs your location information. 

[Game Hint]: This is your first time entering the game. Please register an account. 

[Game Hint]: "Register for free" or "Have an account? Log in immediately."

He chose "Register for free."

[Game Hint]: To ensure user uniqueness and login safety, we need to record your fingerprint. Please place your finger in the fingerprint recognition area and record from different angles as per the instructions. 

"Record fingerprints?! What if it’s a scam…" He frowned.

He used the fingerprints on his right hands for online banking. Just in case it was a scam, he used his left hand to record the fingerprints. 

[Game Hint]: Fingerprint recorded successfully. Logging in automatically…  

The background looked like the deep dark night. A shining white light was jumping lightly.

[Navigation Elf]: Hello! Welcome to Pet Hunter’s World. I am your navigation elf.

[Navigation Elf]: I will try my best to assist you throughout the game. I hope that we can experience an extraordinary adventure together. 

The sudden voice caught him off guard. He almost threw away his cell phone. 

[Navigation Elf]: If you encounter any problems during the game, feel free to contact me!

"Ugh, is it the customer service representative? How do I contact her…I don’t see where to input words…" Zhang Zian was speaking to himself, feeling confused. 

[Navigation Elf]: You may speak to me!

"Really?! You can hear me?!" he asked, once again surprised. 

[Navigation Elf]: Yes! I can hear you nice and clear!

"OMG! This is a 24-hour one-on-one customer service representative! No wonder the download was limited…" He shrugged his shoulders and thought, "This game must be high in costs. How come I didn’t see the developer’s name… What is it? Hiding from fame?"

[Navigation Elf]: This is your first login. Before launching the game, would you like to go through the beginner tutorial? Alternatively, you may skip the tutorial and start immediately.

"What’s your recommendation? Is this game difficult?" he asked.

[Navigation Elf]: You are unable to save your state during the game. For a better experience, I recommend you take the beginner tutorial. 

"Okay, whatever you say. Let’s start the beginner tutorial," he said. 

[Navigation Elf]: Beginner tutorial starting, retrieving data…


1. Download a suspicious game
2. Catch a few magical pets as partners
3. Go through interesting daily routines and lead the pet shop to a whole new level

While many players were waiting for the timer to end, in the "Evolutioners" office, staff were extremely busy.
15 more workers had been recruited by Fei Hong in the past month. 5 of them for office work and 10 were for server and game monitoring team.
They were all busy typing and making final arrangements for the launch of the game.
The game monitoring team was given access to the server but they were only allowed to access the game data and minor programs.
They had no access to the core algorithm program.
The main thing they had to do was to answer the question of the player and fix some minor problems faced by them.
There were no bugs in the game as it was optimized by the library and test run by Qing.
Though Qing could monitor and do all this stuff easily, Fu Yan did not want to expose her so he let Fei Hong hired a team for these minor problems.
All the workers in the office were told that they were just a second-team as the main developer team was working from somewhere else.
Fei Hong did not ask questions and did as she was told by Fu Yan.
She knew he had a reason to do so and would tell her later.
Everything was proceeding smoothly and the countdown entered the final hour.
Players were already flocking the website.
The game software was only 1Gb in size and these just some files that were needed to connect to the cloud platform and some minor stuff.
Fu Yan thought about this problem a lot and even used some technologies from the library to make it perfect.
The main thing was to allow users to play not let them see the data and how the game was working.
He knew that many internet companies were staring at this game launch because of the technology promised and if users were allowed to download full game, these companies would crack it eventually no matter how advanced the technology is.
He did not have the power to protect himself and the technologies yet so he would rather play safe.
                                       ...
Tang Qin was also staring at the countdown on the download button.
Finally, the countdown entered the last 10 seconds.
He stared at it and counted.
8
7
6
5
4
3
2
1..
And then he started to spam the download button.
Many would say why he spammed when he could download it eventually, That was because when are hundreds of users trying to download a file, it would eventually lag and he won't be able to download it till an hour later.
But to his surprise, the file started to download immediately and the speed was not slow.
He was not the only one surprised, all the users who tried to download did not face any difficulty.
Everything proceeded as planned.
Some users were doubting the game because the size of the file was only 1Gb and the game promised very high-end graphics.
Tang Qin was also doubting it but he still downloaded it and ran the program.
He got prompt that the program was installed and he could launch it.
He ran the program and a beautiful interface popped up.
He started to enter the details that were asked.
First, he had to enter an account name and his age.
After filling all this he was asked to enter a mobile number for verification.
He verified it and created an account.
After this, the game was launched.
He was taken to a character creation page and he created his character. He was again asked to verify his age.
"What verify my age, what the hell is this. How can I verify my age."
Just when he was thinking this, he was asked whether the game could access his camera.
He allowed it and the camera opened.
A message popped up on the game page.
"To allow the user to experience the best entertainment in-game and provide security for the account, you can use the face lock function for the game. It is used to lock an account to a face and it can be transferred if you want."
Tang was amazed after reading this message.
He looked at the camera for 5 sec as it was asked by the game and a message popped up again.
"Face has been bound to the account. Age confirmed. 18 years old. Thanks for choosing to play our game. For a better experience, we suggest you chose a profession that you like to be in real life. Enjoy."
Fu Yan added this technology at the last day. He saw it when he was browsing books in the library and was being trained by old Shun about how to handle and do different things in the library.
After thinking a bit, Tang chose an alchemist as his profession because he wanted to be a chemist in real life.
After doing all this, the screen changed again and his character was standing in a field.
He controlled his character and moved around. The movements were fluid and the graphics looked real.
It was as if he was watching a real-life recording. He could see the individual leaves of a tree and tiny strands of grass.
The grass swayed with the wind and cloth fluttered naturally.
"Wow, This game is too real."
He ran towards a tree and kicked it. The trunk shook a little and leaves fell.
He tried to climb the tree by moving a little but fell halfway but it showed that his movements were not restricted in-game.
Even the way his character fell, looked natural.
He wondered.
"How much resources and programing was used to make this game real"
"These graphics are top class then my PC should have been boiling right now but even the cooling fan is not running."
He looked at the PC resources being used and it was not even 30%.
So this what you call the best graphics and freedom in-game but why are they giving the best graphics for free. I think I saw something about paid to get good graphics.
A message popped up again on the side of the window.
"For new users, they can enjoy the top-class graphics and all professions for 2 days. After 2 days monthly subscription is needed to play all professions and to enjoy the best graphics. Users can still play normal versions of the game with fewer graphics free of cost."
Tang nodded upon seeing this message and looked at the price for the monthly subscription and to his surprise, it was just $15/month, $75 / 6 month and $130/year.
"I think I can afford this game but it might be high for some people. If you see the graphics and cloud gaming service they provide, it cheap too cheap."
He was streaming the whole session from the start to the end.
The chat was bombarded with comments.
Many who had not downloaded the game, after seeing the stream rushed to download it and play.
The whole gaming community was boiling after the game was released.

"Let's stop this conversation here my boy, I need to sleep and cease this sin," I grin but straighten up, holding my puppy properly as he fell asleep on me. 



"Sure, I'll let you dream about him," he doesn't end with the tease so I hand up on him to be a brat and laugh all by myself.


I have to admit, I don't let my mind free of those types of thoughts when I think about him but I don't care, those are onlyfantasies of a poor lonely girl who doesn't know what it is to be loved and taken 
care of by a man. 



"Let's go sleep Koya," I peck my puppy's head and take him in my arms, to get to the stairs and both reach my bedroom to finally shut our mind off. 


— Next day — 

7 am. 
1

I enter my office after finishing eating the pastry my best friend made for me for this special day, and walk towards my desk facing the windows. Those which give a landscape of Gangnam. 


I let go of my bag and place it down on the flat surface to open it and take my laptop out.


 I know I have a lot of work to do today so there's not a single second that I can waste if I don't want my boss to get mad.



I sit down on my chair and let my leather bag on the ground by my side, to place myself in a comfortable position and switch my device on, in order to get to work, but a red item suddenly catches my attention.



 Something placed right behind my large screen that never Leaves this room. I grab what seems to be a present wrapped with a lot of care. Red and black, exactly what I like. 



I take a closer look at the note given with it and read the words written by someone whose handwriting is more than pretty.


 That looks like my best friend's one to my opinion. 


" Don't take this the wrong way but...your lips drive me crazy 
and I hope you'll wear this like you were used to do it before ♡ Happy birthday ♡" 



'Wear this like I was used to do it before?' I repeated in my mind at the confusion. Who could it be? 



The only person that I know for a long time is Yohan from who You're close. Of course, Jaemin is my best friend and we both know 
each other for years now but he doesn't work here so that can't be coming from him otherwise he would have given me that this 
morning when he came to my house. 



I stop cogitating and just open the knot to finally remove the top of  the box and check what's inside. 



A small leather cushion on which is laid a red lipstick. A Guerlain one, I look at what a card placed underneath says. "A gold and 
diamond-encrusted lipstick." 


My eyes widen at the sentence that I need to read over and over again to believe. 



'How much did this cost if this has those kinds of things on it?' I still cannot realize what I read but take the other note on which I can discern the same handwriting than the one I saw on the kind note. 



" I also left something inside the first drawer of your desk, because one gift isn't enough for you ♡ " 


'Am I playing a game?' I think before peeking into the compartment that was mentioned. 



I get the two other red boxes out of it to close it and put everything  down on the flat surface. 


I don't wait anymore and let myself get 
taken over by my eager and curiosity of knowing what could be into those ones. 



One for chocolates and the other is full of roses. 


I've never been that pampered before.

 Maybe this is a day starting well or just something that presages bad news. 



Someone suddenly startles me by knocking on the door. 


"Come in," I close the boxes and put them aside while the person is entering my office.


 "Good morning Miss Han," she bows to me. "Your superior is asking for you and would like you to go see him with 'the work he talked about yesterday' as said by him." 



"Okay, thank you for the information." 
"At your service Miss Han, have a wonderful day," she bows and leaves nicely.




So I quickly take the sketches on which I worked yesterday and stand up from my chair to go towards the door and open it, in order to walk out and head to your boss's office. 




I find it annoying but every time I know I have to go there, I'm stressed out. Being alone in a room facing the one provoking so many different things to my body with a simple look or word, and who now only treats me like a poor woman lower than him in every way is irritating. 



I knock on his door and enter the room once I hear his voice.

[F*ck me, no wonder this guy is a genius. He couldn't buy a train ticket and so, he wrote his own ticket buying app! So impressive!] 
[I was wondering why this genius rejected CEO Wong's offer. It's because he's starting his own business! Wow, I envy those with a good brain! (cry, smile)]
[I re-posted, I'm convinced.]
[Genius, are you looking for an online girlfriend? My name is Luo Liyin!] 
[Master genius, I'm a grade 7 middle school student. The pretty girl in my class said that she'll go out with me if I get into the Top 10 in the coming exams. If I win the prize, can you teach me mathematics?]
[Editing SCI? Please. Praying to god I get picked! Re-post!]
[I'm a PhD student and I'm impressed… Re-posted!] 
[My thesis isn't in SCI, can I get a discount?]
It was the next day in the afternoon. 
Lu Zhou was eating dinner when he pulled out his phone and checked Weibo. He was shocked. 
Why are there so many re-posts?
However, most of the re-post captions were just people jumping on the bandwagon. 
Lu Zhou was suspicious. When he opened the trending page, he was surprised. 
Number four on trending!
How did it get up there?
Even though a lot of people re-posted, it's still a bit far fetched to be on trend, right?
Lu Zhou opened up the trending page and found out that a marketing account reported his app but not his blog post. 
The earliest new source that reported it was called [New Things On Campus] and that blog was re-posted by a marketing account with millions of followers. Finally, it even caught the attention of [Huaguo Youth Daily] and they re-posted it. 
Although they did not re-post his blog, the name [Campus Train] was still in the report. 
[A first-year undergraduate student from the University of Jin Ling who could not buy a train ticket wrote his own free app for students to use. Look at how impressive this guy is…]
[Remember that undergraduate student that wrote ten SCI theses in a month? This time he is back at it again. (dog)]
These were the types of headlines in the reports. 
After that, a chain reaction happened and it went out of control…
"…"
Lu Zhou saw this situation and was hysterical. 
He did not expect to go on trending twice within two months. 
Lu Zhou used his phone to log into the developer platform and entered his administrator account and password. He looked at the download data. 
What?! The number of registered users reached 150,000!
With the number of user downloads experiencing explosive growth in the Android app store, it had even made its way into the Top Daily Downloads. 
It seemed that his app had been accepted by a lot of college students. 
As for how many users would stay active, it would depend on what happened next. 
At this moment, he received a call from Chen Yushan.
"Lu Zhou Lu Zhou! Did you write that app?" asked the female voice on the other end of the phone. She was so excited that she sounded like she was happier than Lu Zhou. 
Lu Zhou, "Yeah, I wrote it, why?"
"…"
After she received the confirmation, she became silent. 
After a while, she sighed and her voice became heavier as she said, "Nothing. I feel like you're flying so high, I… Don't know what to say."
Lu Zhou was confused, "Flying so high? Not really. It'll still be three years till I graduate."
"You're right," said Chen Yushan. She laughed and changed the topic, "Oh yeah, my cousin came back from Shanghai. My auntie wanted to ask if you still have time to do tutoring next semester?"
"Yeah, of course," said Lu Zhou without any hesitation. 
Upgrading the Alibaba cloud server, upgrading disk space, purchasing network communication traffic bandwidth, designing a beautiful UI interface… Everything required money! 
Right now his app was free. It was hard to tell how much he would have to spend before he could monetize it.
It was not like he could exchange general points for money and so, he had to rely on working for some extra cash. 
A happy voice traveled through the phone, "That's great, Meng Qi said that you are a good mathematics tutor. She would understand the question after one explanation from you."
"It's mainly because she's talented," said Lu Zhou with a smile. 
Chen Yushan, "Oh yeah, also when she enters Grade 11, she'll only have Sundays off. You only have to tutor her one day. Is that fine with you?"
Lu Zhou, "No problem, I'm free regardless."
…
Zhang Zhongjie opened the door and walked into Dean Lu office. He said with a smile, "Dean Lu, you have quite a talent there in your mathematics department."
Dean Lu did not say anything at first. He put his pen down, adjusted his glasses, and sighed before saying, "Say it, what did that Lu Zhou kid go and do now?"
Dean Zhang smiled and said, "Oh, I didn't even tell you. How did you know it was Lu Zhou?"
"He's the only troublemaker of his caliber in the department."
"It seems that you're not happy?" said Dean Zhang as he sat on the sofa. With a smile, he said, "If that's the case, how about you transfer Lu Zhou to my computer science department. I quite like him."
"Oh," said Dean Lu. He leaned against his office chair and stared before saying rudely, "Don't even think about it!"
What a joke.
University of Jin Ling's mathematics department was not strong even though the university was ranked amongst the countries' Top 10 universities. It was not nearly as strong as their physics department. 
They finally had such a genius in their department and Lu Fangping would never let him go. Not even if he had to deceive Lu Zhou!
"Why are you getting so riled up? I'm just kidding. It's up to him if he wants to transfer," said Dean Zhang. He smiled and continued, "Ok, serious talk. Have you seen Weibo recently?"
"Weibo?" asked Dean Lu. He frowned, "What's on Weibo?"
Although Lu Fangping knew about Weibo, he had not downloaded it on his phone. First of all, he was disinterested in the trending female celebrities. Secondly, the text on the phone was too small and thus, it was unsuitable for old people to read. Thirdly, he was busy with his job and side projects. He did not have so much free time to stare at his phone. 
Furthermore, he did not keep up with the trends as much as Dean Zhang who was from the computer science department. 
"The Lu Zhou from your department made an app called Campus Train. A few teachers from our department looked at it and found that it is pretty good. The school is encouraging entrepreneurship, right? I wanted to help him and so, I came over here," said Dean Zhang while smiling. 
Dean Lu heard the good news and smiled as well. He then squinted his eyes as if he remembered something. 
In order to encourage technological innovation at various universities and to promote the spirit of entrepreneurship, the Ministry of Education issued a [University Student Entrepreneurship Plan] which was issued directly to various institutions and education bureaus. 
Dean Lu had heard of this plan. It was mainly for fourth-year undergraduate students that did not plan on getting a master's degree. Simply put, the state would provide financial support (loans) while the school would provide the resources to help students achieve their dreams of entrepreneurship!
Of course, not all projects could apply for this interest-free loan. For example, if one decided to open a bubble tea shop, or to sell clothes on Taobao, or if one simply wanted to use the money to buy stocks, the school definitely would not have approved.
Projects that could apply for this loan must first meet the criteria of not only being a technological innovation but it must also be realistic. For example, it was unrealistic if one wanted to build a rocket and needed to come up with a new type of rocket fuel.
The second criterion was that it must be able to create jobs. 
After all, projects that were hatched by university alumni would be more inclined to hire students from their own university.
The University of Jin Ling wanted to appeal to the government. All of the departments allocated a certain amount of money toward the startups by the students. After all, employment was the top priority. If the school could really incubate a large project, it might even count as a scientific achievement! 
Generally speaking, this policy only applied to fourth-year students. After all, their goal was still to study. They could not delay their academics for entrepreneurship. The school should not convince students to take the wrong path! 
However, these criteria obviously were inapplicable when it came to Lu Zhou. Being able to write mathematical theses at his level meant it would be a piece of cake for him to get his bachelor's degree. Most professors did not look at him as an undergraduate student, at least not a first-year undergraduate. 
But…
However talented this Lu Zhou kid may be, he's still part of our mathematics department. Why is the computer science department here?
Dean Lu knew instantly that this guy came here to undermine him! 
Dean Zhang saw that Dean Lu did not speak. He smiled and used a kind tone as he said, "You shouldn't think that this will affect his studies. It's important to manifest his studies by doing projects. My suggestion will definitely be beneficial to Student Lu. Furthermore, a few teachers in my department did some research and felt that this project is interesting, so…"
"Don't even think about it! I'll go and find our head of department right now!" said Dean Lu. He stood up and smiled as he said, "Don't even try to undermine me! We were just worrying about how to use this money!"
There isn't any place to spend it on!
It was not like mathematics was useless, but what could one create with mathematics?
The few applications that were submitted all pretended like they were making big data statistical analysis software but they were actually about starting online shops! Who would give them money!
Finally, a person like Lu Zhou came along. Dean Lu would never give him up and so, he refused Dean Zhang. 
You are here, again and again. You say you're helping our incubator project, but when the chicken finally laid eggs, your computer science department wants to steal the eggs!
Just because I have thick glasses and run around the office all day while being an honest man doesn't mean that I can't see through your schemes!
How naive!
How simple!
"I'm telling you, Old Lu. This is wrong, right? The project in your mathematics department isn't even related to mathematics but is related to computer science. What will people say about this?" said Dean Zhang as he laughed.
"If I say it's related then it's related. How come data science isn't related to mathematics? I'm approving it!" said Dean Lu as he stared at Dean Zhang. He suddenly realized that he had not even received an application yet, so he continued his momentum and said, "I'll give Lu Zhou a call today and ask for his application. I'll personally give it to the head of the department for him to approve!"
Dean Zhang was anxious, "You can't do this. You should ask the student's opinion! This is for his own good!"
Oh, you're trying to talk logic with me now?
Dean Lu turned his eyes and said swiftly, "Ok, I'll talk to him later. Wait for my response."
"No!" said Dean Zhang as he disagreed. He crossed his legs and said, "You're not honest. I'm sitting right here. Call him now! If not, you're buying me dinner."
Dean Lu called Dean Zhang shameless but the man did not even give him a reaction. Dean Lu knew that he had to solve this today and so, he picked up his phone and called Lu Zhou. 


After suffering from a heat stroke while working under the scorching heat of summer, Lu Zhou, a hardworking but poor university student, somehow becomes the owner of an advanced technological system. With the cheat given by the system, his university life changes overnight. 
  
A Master's degree? Easy. 
  
PhD? Not a problem.   
  
From a nobody, he quickly becomes a huge celebrity in the world of science. With the missions given by the system, he is on his way to winning a Nobel Prize.   

"System, can points be exchanged for money?"
  
"No."
  
"F**k, what use are you then!?"
  
"This system will make you the ultimate scholar, the kind that lords over all of humanity. What use will money be to you?"

(Kyosei's View)

Now that we arrived outside that place, I realized that we are in Yodoyabashi, far from Shinsaibashi where everyone else did. The reason I was so certain is due to the Naniwa Church(1) not too far from here. And  if my assumption is correct, Tekijuku(2) is also going to be on our view.

"How did we end up here without knowing?! I was clearly on Nakazaki chou!" Satsuki grumbled seeing that she was clearly not that near on her former location.

"Tch, they kidnapped us so far that we reached Yodoyabashi without knowing. Those sinister humans," Kaito groaned and firmly clenches his fist.

The streets were still full of damage and random undead are moving around the streets. Its quite a depressing sight and the former glory of the streets of Yodoyabashi is already broken down to pieces.

We continue walking down the streets, killing a few undead in the process. There are scattered broken cars but we have not found any car that is working.

Still, we did not stop, looking for any sign of car. Its not like we wan't to remain walking on the streets with undead all around, its just hard to find a working car.

"These cars are all busted. We might find cars around the subway,"Kaito suggested.

"I think that is a bad idea. If the subway loads and unloads lots of people during the outbreak then it means that the dead are also plentiful around there. We won't last a day there!" Satsuki declined Kaito's idea.

If we go straight towards Tekijuku then we will arrive at Yodoyabashi station, its still the same thing!" Kaito retorted.

"That is why we have to find a car as soon as possible so that we can escape a horde of those infected without much problem!" Satsuki once again shouted.

This time, I was so agitated by their loud voices, I have already killed a dozen undead attracted to their voice and they still continue squabbling.

"Shut up or I will ditch you two to the horde. You two are attracting death itself,"  I said to them and continue moving.

That is the time they shut up and followed suit with me.

Soon, we found a Ford Ranger on the side of the street that crashed into a telephhone pole. The front of the car is not smashed. Its just slightly bent. On the driver seat is a woman who is already an undead, frantically trying to free herself on the airbag and the seat belt trying to restrain her.

"Poor bastard," Kaito said before he pulls out his Glock 19 with a supressor and shoot the struggling undead to the head.

"It would get messy," Satsuki commented.

"At least its not our blood," Kaito answered and open the door of the front seat and pull out the dead body of the woman.

The backseat was full of tools and supplies. There were also two Remington Shotgun and five boxes of shells for the gun. Plenty of food too.

"Dang, were lucky! Food!" Satsuki scanned the food and the good thing it was still consumable and its not yet on its saturated dates.

Kaito also checked its gas.

"Good, its also full tank! We won't be troubled reaching Shinsaibashi with this," Kaito answered.

Before we can settle down, a huge swarm of mosquitoes are buzzing overhead. They are as big as my fist which means they just finished killing a few people. They were followed by a group of undead, clearly feral and hostile. They are running.

"Get in the car! Undead are coming!" Kaito shouted and open fire on the undead. Since the mosquitoes are on the way, they were the first to die by the bullets. 

Satsuki immediately enters the backseat and quickly readies her AR15. I also entered the passenger seat and raise my AR15 to the undead. Now that we are inside, Kaito also enter the ford and start the engine since the car keys are still jammed on the key hole.

Pushing the gas, the tires screech and Kaito quickly controlled the car like a NASCAR driver and changed gears before he backs away from the pole and with a quick break, the undead that rush to the car slam on the back. Kaito steps on the gas again and races straight to the wreckage of the streets. Kaito was focused on the streets. I did not fire against the following undead as the road has plenty of debris. Going out to shoot would be risky.

Kaito was quick and with a quick turn, he drifted to the other side of the street and the screech of the tires was heard. Its quite strong and the smell of rubber lingered on the air.

"Wohoo! Yeah, eat our dust suckers!" Satsuki happily cheered as the car speeds away from the dead. Kaito occasionally drifts towards the corners, which might be for the sake of losing the trail of the dead following us. Its still early and I am guessing its a long way before the we will be able to lose sight of them.


Footnotes:
1. Naniwa Church - Naniwa Church is on a corner in Kitahama (Osaka City), a district where many retro-design structures stand between modern office buildings. The church is a three-story building, featuring gothic steeple windows and yellow/green stained glass windows as well as an elaborately designed tower. Completed in 1930, the church was designed and constructed by Takenaka Corporation under the instruction of William Merrell Vories. Vories came to Japan in 1905 (mid Meiji period) to teach English at the present-day Hachiman Commercial Senior High School, Shiga Prefecture, and engaged in Christian missionary work as well as social education, publication, medical services, school education and other social contributions based on Christianity. (He is also known for spreading the use of Mentholatum widely in Japan and for designing the Shinsaibashi Daimaru building.) The history of Naniwa Church can be traced back to Naniwa Kokai, Japan's first self-sustaining church voluntarily established by 11 believers in 1877. This may be one reason why the chapel interior exudes a friendly atmosphere comfortable for common people. The chapel on the 2nd floor is tinted by bright, gentle colors of light pouring through the stained glass windows, creating an even simpler and more graceful atmosphere than that expressed from the church's exterior.

2.Tekijuku -Tekijuku was a school established consciously in Senba, Osaka, the main trading route between Nagasaki and Edo in 1838 during the Tenpō era of the late Edo period. Its founder was Ogata Kōan, a doctor and scholar of Dutch studies.

Labeled as a delinquent and bad influence, high school student Kyosei Ichinose choose to stay out of the people around him, indulge himself to his headphones, pick fights against other people and stay alone. 

He was later famous for being a dangerous fellow that even his fellow students and his teachers feared him.

One day, everything is normal until the world is now in turmoil after the appearance of a mysterious disease that turns humans into mindless cannibals, infecting humans all around the country in an alarming state.

After receiving a distressed message from his former friend, he reluctantly returned only to find the school overrun by the dead. Armed with his house keys, a revolver and a duffel bag containing a few items to aid the rescue, he returned to the school without knowing why he still need to rescue a former friend.

Bluehole used closed alpha and beta periodswith about 80,000 players to gauge initial reaction to the gameplay and adjust balance prior to a wider release.[13][41] Just prior to the early access phase on Steam, Bluehole opened a few servers and invited some popular live streamers of similar games to try it out as to start gaining interest.[42] Early access for the Windows version launched on March 23, 2017.[43] This period was planned to last approximately six months, originally aiming for a September 2017 release.[43][44] In July 2017, Greene announced that they would need to extend the early access period by a few months, continuing to release updates on a regular basis, with plans to still release by the end of 2017, as committing to this original period "could hinder us from delivering a fully featured game and/or lead to disappointment within the community if the launch deadline is not met".[45] Initially, Bluehole had expected that they would just gain enough players through early access to smooth out the gameplay, and only when the game was completed, they would have started more marketing for the title. The sudden interest in the game from early access exceeded their expectations, and put emphasis on the stability of the game and its underlying networking alongside gameplay improvements.[41] Through August 2017, these updates generally included a major weekly patch alongside major monthly updates that provided key performance improvements.[46][5][19] However, from August onward Bluehole backed off the rate of such patches, as the high frequency has led to some quality control issues, and the developers rather make sure each patch content is well-vetted by the community before providing new updates; this did not change their plans for a 2017 release, where it fully released out of early access on December 20.[47][48]

In part of the game's success in early access, Tencent Games, the largest publisher of video games in China, approached Bluehole that same month with an offer to publish Battlegrounds in China and purchase equity in the company.[49] However, the China Audio-Video and Digital Publishing Association issued a statement in October 2017 that discouraged battle royale-style games, stating that they are too violent and deviate from Chinese values of socialism, deeming it harmful to young consumers.[50][51] The following month however, PUBG had reached a formal agreement with the Chinese government to allow the release of the game in the country, with Tencent as the publishing partner.[52] However, some changes were made to make sure it aligned with socialist values and traditional Chinese morals.[53] In South Korea, the game is marketed and distributed by Kakao Games.[54]

Despite the lack of a Chinese publisher prior to the Tencent deal, players in China had found ways to acquire and play the game through Steam via proxies and other networking tricks.[55] To address it, PUBG Corporation planned to add maximum client ping limits for servers which can reduce the issues with latency problems and prevent some of the cheating that has occurred. This would not prevent cross-region matchmaking but may make it difficult for some players to play outside their region if they have a poor Internet infrastructure.[56] Tencent has also helped by identifying and reporting around 30 software programs to Chinese police that can be used to cheat in Battlegrounds, leading to over a hundred arrests by the beginning of 2018.[57] Separately, this technical issue, in addition to the larger number of Chinese players, has created complaints in the player community. Some Western players fear that many Chinese players are able to cheat in the game by exploiting some of the network latency issues, something that PUBG Corporation continued to address as the game shifted out of early access. However, a small number of players called for server segregation by region, and had used racial insults at Chinese players they encounter in game. Greene was disappointed with this "xenophobic attitude", calling it "disgraceful", and asked the player community to respect the Chinese players more as their numbers were a key part of the game's success.[55]Greene also identified that players can easily get around such region locks using virtual private networks, making this approach ineffective.[58] PUBG Corporation eventually added region-based matchmaking by October 2018, though players still reported issues with connectivity and slow matchmaking.[59]

Xbox One

Greene was part of Microsoft's press conference during E3 2017 to announce that Battlegrounds would be coming to Xbox Oneas a timed console exclusive sometime by the end of 2017, using the Xbox Game Previewearly access approach to test it.[60] [61][62][41]

Initially, Greene said that Microsoft was not directly involved in the porting but only providing assistance to make sure the port is good, and that most of the porting responsibilities are being done by Anticto, a Spanish developer.[30] However, at Gamescomthat year, Bluehole affirmed that Microsoft Studios would be publishing the Xbox One version of the title, helping to make a planned 2017 release for this version.[63] Greene said that Microsoft's support has helped in several ways, not only for the Xbox One version but improving the performance and security of the Windows version. Further, by being part of the group of studios under the Microsoft banner, they have been able to talk and incorporate technology from other developers, such as improved water rendering techniques they obtained from Rare that they had developed for Sea of Thieves.[64] Microsoft considered Battlegrounds to be an important project to demonstrate their company's ability to be more than just a publisher, according to Microsoft's Nico Bihary who lead the project. Bihary said they have given Battlegrounds a "white glove" treatment, and for the Xbox One port have provided services from their advanced technology group and time and support from The Coalition, another of Microsoft Studios' subsidiaries.[65] Kim also stated that the team was interested in cross-platform play between the Windows and console versions, but did not anticipate this as a release feature, as they need to determine how to mitigate the advantage keyboard and mouse-using players would have over those using controllers.[41]

Titled "Game Preview Edition", the early access version for the Xbox One was released on December 12, 2017 in both digital and physical formats.[66][67][68] To promote it, Microsoft performed real-life supply crate drops in Australia in the week prior, with the crates containing Xbox hardware, Battlegrounds merchandise, and other goods, using passcodes published alongside the drop locations on social media.[69] The Xbox version also includes Xbox-specific in-game cosmetic items, some which could be purchased directly rather than through in-game crates.[70] The official release out of the Game Preview program occurred on September 4, 2018.[71][72]
Mobile versions

Following the Chinese publication deal for the Windows version, Tencent Games and PUBG Corporation additionally announced that they were planning on releasing two mobile versions based on the game in the country.[73][74] The first, PUBG: Exhilarating Battlefield, is an abridged version of the original game, and was developed by Lightspeed & Quantum Studio, an internal division of Tencent Games.[75] The second, PUBG: Army Attack, includes more arcade-style elements, including action taking place on warships, and was developed by Tencent's Timi Studio.[76] Both versions are free-to-play, and were released for Android and iOSdevices on February 9, 2018.[77][78] The games had a combined total of 75 million pre-registrations, and ranked first and second on the Chinese iOS download charts at launch.[78] Following a soft launch in Canada, an English version of Exhilarating Battlefieldknown as PUBG Mobile, was released worldwide on March 19, 2018.[79][80][81]

PlayStation 4

With the announcement of the Xbox release, PUBG Corporation stated that there were plans to port to additional platforms, such as the PlayStation 4.[82][83][84] In an interview shortly after Gamescom, Greene said that their deal with Microsoft did not exclude a PlayStation 4 port, but that their focus at the time was only on the Windows and Xbox One version, given the small size of their team.[64][49] When asked about it in January 2018, Kim stated that the team released the game first on the Steam and Xbox Game Preview early access programs as they both easily allowed in-development games to be released and updated over time, which contrasted with Sony's lack of their own early access program, as well as their strict quality control for even completed games.[85] The PlayStation port was officially announced in November, and was released on December 7, 2018. PUBG Corporation studio head Brian Corrigan said that while they had had a small team working on the PlayStation 4 port for some time, it was only until the Xbox One port was mostly completed that they began fully working on the PlayStation port.[86] The PlayStation 4 version of the game includes platform-exclusive customization items, specifically the outfit of Nathan Drake from the Uncharted series, and Ellie's backpack from The Last of Us.[87] A short live-action film to promote the PlayStation 4 release was directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts and starred Jason Mitchell.[88]

They had to perpetually deal with a network of people as they were. They had received many challenges and had transactions with many people, but had never met anyone who sent demands in a foreign language. Even in an email six months ago from the Japanese Nakagawa Technology Group, it was still written in French.
"To the French government, there is a good thing here! When I was diving in the Atlantic was diving by chance..." Sonnenfeldt frowned and read softly.
Since both parties used translated versions, there were a lot of mistakes in the grammar, which made it difficult to read. The good news was that the content was straightforward and understandable.
"After you confirm the authenticity of the voicemail, please take out $500 million. And please use the top 20 languages in the world." When he had finished, he kept pinching his chin.
His first reaction was that the man was completely bullsh*tting and taking his cell phone to record the sound of the submarine when he was diving. Then why didn't he smash it with his fist? If the submarine sound was so easy to obtain, then the world's sonar anti-submarine network would be a joke?
"This must be some boring hacker using bad psychological tactics!" Sonnenfeldt smiled. "Isn't that just want you want? To arouse my curiosity, let me download this attachment, then let your virus play a role?"
As a 17-year-old, he successfully hacked into an online gaming server and changed his equipment to the highest level. At the age of 21, he was hired as a special technician expert for six Internet companies. Of course, he was good! He was outstanding! And he was certainly confident.
So he went to the computer to test the virus. He would download the attachment and see what the other person was trying to do.
More than 20 MB. It would take only a few seconds to download. Sonnenfeldt first cut off the network connection, then used a security tool to carefully examine it.
"Huh... the technique used to hide it is advanced!" He was like a woman seeing a flash of jewelry. The more advanced it was, the more excited he was.
Clicking on the audio file called "123123", Sonnenfeldt squinted his excited little eyes, ready to see what the person was up to.
Anyway, his testing computer would send all the unknown files which were tested to hardware technology to a empty hard disk, and by connecting to the Internet only at the moment the file downloaded, he simply didn't have to worry about any destruction.
Unexpected processor frequency increased. Memory was unaccounted for. Some files were just background noise.
It was difficult to describe the sound of the sound, and through the two stereo speakers, Sonnenfeldt felt as if he was suddenly plunged into the sea, surrounded by an endless ocean.
As time passed, the furrows on his forehead grew tighter. He had never been a submarine soldier. He didn't know if this was a submarine mechanical noise, but his intuition told him that this round was not coordinated buzz that was synthesized in a technical way.
"Hello, is this the secretary's office of the Élysée Palace? I received a copy of the audio file on the presidential official website, and it was found that there was no virus," he said. "The other party claims that this is the sound of our ruby attack submarine, and I'm sending this to you."
Sonnenfeldt didn't dare say that the other person was extorting $500 million. He was afraid of being asked by the higher ups, "Stupid! You do believe this?"
"Okay!" The voice on the phone was as cold as ever!
At the eastern end of the Champs-Élysées, the Élysée Palace was as famous as the White House in the United States, Buckingham Palace in Britain, and the Kremlin in Russia. It was the presidential palace in France and the symbol of the highest power in the country.
After the email arrived, a few of the palace staff heard it and felt that it was worth paying attention to. So, after some communications, the news eventually got transferred to the naval command.
"Ridiculous!" Anniston, who was assigned to the voiceprint, had serious doubts and was angry. A bunch of staff that just sits in an office, and if a guy says there's an Ultraman, do you have to go and verify it?
Absurdly absurd! But Anniston was only able to sit sullenly on the black sound analysis machine and work with the black headphones. What could he do since it was a command from the Élysée Palace?
They tested the sound of the submarine, not just the crew, but with two stereo systems. It was going to be determined in terms of Hertz, band, frequency, and so on.
In the dim and secluded environment, Anniston, with a bitter face, pressed the transmission button.
Buzz, buzz, buzz. The sound of the condenser was heard, and Anniston's cheeks turned pale. Then he looked at the waveband on the detector, Hertz...
"Ah!" His eyes widened bigger than a dog's head, popped out, and almost broke through his titanium glasses.
"This... This is... This is... This..." Anniston was shocked. Stumbling out of the room, he banged open the door of the chief's office.
"Sir, we're done for... "
.........
Half an hour later, at the east end of the Champs-Élysées, the presidential office of the Élysée Palace…
"Mr. President, what do you say we do?" Admiral Bailiffe, the commander of the navy, sat down on the red nan-wood chair, and his white brows were almost forced into a line.
The sound of a nuclear-powered submarine was stolen and was the one stationed at the naval base in Djibouti. The investigators had boarded the plane 10 minutes before to fly there, but he knew that there was probably little possibility of it being their own people. Because, from the sound pattern analysis, this was basically from an external device that had snuck up on the submarine and recorded it.
"Did you find out which country did it?" President Kosaki looked at the information in his hands. Who was trying to extort France?
"Not yet!" The one who spoke was the French Network Information Security Chief Earls. He was sitting on the left side of the president and whispered, "The email was sent by an ordinary Google mailbox registered to a server in Japan. We have invaded the server and stolen his registration information, but didn't get any useful information."
"The United States, Japan, Russia, China, these countries are the most suspect! Our ruby submarines are not the most technologically advanced, but at least they have to be at the same level to get access to them," said Admiral Bailiffe.
"But if you want to get this close and record the sound..."
Here he shook his head. "Even the American Ohio and the Russian North Wind have absolutely no way to do that."
"That's right!" The navy commander Chief Bailiffe suddenly thought of something. "Mr. President, last time when we were in the Gulf of Djibouti, we happened to intercept an unknown submarine, but all the sonar was destroyed by an unknown weapon, and then the torpedo used to block it suddenly exploded. The next day, when the deep-sea robot went down, it didn't find the wreckage of submarine nearby, so I have every reason to believe that this incident is related."
"I'm asking what country it belongs to!" President Kosaki thumped the table, sulking. "It's not clear who the enemy is. What is the point for you say this to me?"
"And you!" President Kosaki said in a different tone. "Did the other person say to reply to the message? I believe you will not let me down!"
"Mr. President, please rest assured!" Information Security Chief Earls gave a slight smile with a confident tone, as if he were solving a primary school math problem. "Our security team is prepared. As long as they send an email, we will definitely find out their real address!"
"That is best. They have such advanced submarine technology, so they would also have the best network technology personnel. All you have to do is to trace their true identity," President Kosaki waved and looked tired. "The secretariat will give you the email content to reply back in a minute. Go!"
Half an hour later, 15th and Andornen Street, French Network Information Security…
In the 10-meter-deep underground PXT mainframe room, Sonnenfeldt, who was the first to find the email, looked like the other 21 members of the team. All of had a face prepared for a war. The email was sent out 10 seconds ago, and what they needed to do now was to take advantage of the technology and break down the barriers and finally get the real address.
"The other person is likely to be the at the top of the network world and will have a super large tandem processor computer that is faster than our computing speed," said the Chief of Information Security, Earls.
"But I only ask you one thing: Do you have the confidence to win this war?!"
"Yes!" No one hesitated.
"Ok, starting from now on, monitor the mailbox all day long. Try to get the real terminal address in one minute!"
..........
Zhongyun City, Bolan Garden, at 7:00 p.m. local time…
Chen Fan, with two large plastic bags full of drinks and snacks, was ready to drive to the dock at the seaside. After such a long time, the other side should have confirmed that his email was true or false. He had to go and see if there were any reply.
As usual, he took the capsule to the stone tower inside the cave. He opened the nuts with force and tossed a handful into his mouth. Chen Fan connected the optic cable and then opened his laptop.
"There it is!" In the PXT mainframe room, Sonnenfeldt suddenly jumped three feet high and dropped a bombshell in the silent machine room.
"GO, GO, GO!" Not knowing who shouted it, and then the whole machine room was filled with typing sounds on keyboards.
The speed of the hands was very outstanding and could have broken the world record.
The backdoor to the Japanese website server had been found by them, and they were constantly monitoring. The only thing to do now was to find the real terminal address of the other party.
"Pa!" After a dazzling array of operations, Sonnenfeldt hit the return key, and a series of ASP source code popped up on the screen, all of which was about the connection information of Chen Fan's mailbox.
"Lock the first springboard IP!" In only seven seconds, Sonnenfeldt reported the IP of the Japanese Google website.
"Ah!" Five seconds later, Sonnenfeldt's eyes popped out, the... the other side did not use the springboard, they were using real I... The I... IP for Internet...
At this point, a member of the team with glasses, shouted, "IP has been identified. The other side is using the maritime satellite network. Right now the North Pacific Communications Satellite is in charge of access."
"F**k you!" Chief Earls smashed the table. Using satellites to surf the Internet, making it difficult to find locations.
Of course, that was just a little difficult!
"Immediately switch our network to a satellite network mode and then use the SPX satellite's Doppler waveband for signal detection."
As time passed, the keyboard tapping sound continued to fill the room. As France's national network information security, they not only had multiple high-speed optical fiber network connection modes, they had 3G wireless network and even national satellite network connection sharing.
Fifty-three seconds later, Sonnenfeldt banged the table and said, "The signal range is locked. The other party's network terminal is 50 nautical miles northwest of the Japanese oil valley, and it is 50 miles ahead of South Korea."
"Concrete coordinates!"
"North latitude 34.49.26, east longitude 129.53.12, signal error not exceeding one nautical mile... "
"Then the other party must be on board!" He took two deep breaths, and this time the President gave him the highest authority to mobilize any needed tools.
"Eames, you immediately inform the defense department that we have locked in the enemy's position, let them calculate the orbit, and find the military reconnaissance satellite that will fly to that area as soon as possible."
Half a minute later, the ministry of defense heard that there was a reconnaissance satellite that was about to arrive in the vicinity of the area after seven minutes and 39 seconds. And one hour and 21 minutes later and eleven hours later, two reconnaissance satellites passed by.
"Let them take digital pictures of them for two miles!" Then he walked up to Sonnenfeldt, stared at the screen, prayed to god, hoping that the other side would not move, so that the satellite would be better able to take pictures.
Maybe God really heard his prayer, and the source of the other party remained fixed and did not move.
After what felt like half a century, the machine room was suddenly filled with a loud bang. "The ministry of defense has transferred photos!"
"Immediately open the pictures with the big central screen!" Earls ran to the huge liquid crystal display wall two meters high on the east side... waiting!


Because of an accident, Chen Fan obtained the power to possess an electric eel!
Of course, being an ambitious guy, Chen Fan just HAD to explore his Electric Eel Avatar thoroughly!
Captains, are the Somali pirates still giving you a headache? Come and hire me online, and I will guarantee that your ship will be even safer than protected by an American aircraft carrier!

Aras Ealdwine opened the windows of his office, begrudgingly welcoming the sunlight that greeted him on the first evening of the year. The promised rain should be falling any time soon, leaving him with no choice but to stand there in front of the windows, cursing the sweltering heat pricking his skin. The heat was too much even for his youthful seventeen-year-old body, but it was more excruciating for his mind which was way past his body's age.

If he weren't the town's mayor of Bast, Aras wouldn't have to care about the rain or the crops. He'd leave the others to worry about those. Instead, he'd be with his pals merrily drinking inside the pub or perhaps already wasted, walking woozily along the alleys. Then he'd go home to an angry wife who would nag him until he fell asleep on the couch. The next day, he'd have to make up to his wife by buying her a gorgeous bouquet of roses. Afterward, he'd take her and their grandchildren—or great-grandchildren perhaps—to the market to purchase anything they wanted. 

That was 'if' he weren't the town's mayor. The fact was, he was, and there probably won't be a day wherein he wasn't. 

Rubbing his sweaty palms together as he rubbed away the daydreams from his thoughts, Aras turned to the wall clock and started counting down the last seconds before seven.

"Five, four, three, two…One." 

The sky darkened, and the rain poured. 

The raindrops hammered the rooftops and trickled on the ground. Soon, the townspeople's cheers and joyful tears filled the air. After one whole year of terrible drought, the rain finally arrived, bringing along a group of heavy clouds to temporarily conceal the sun.

Aras could hear the voice of the pub owner yelling, "Free beer! Free beer!" Aras craved for a mug or two, but it would be troublesome if the military were to catch him, the town's mayor, drinking inside the local pub. The last thing Aras would want was to be humiliated in front of his people again. Everyone in town had now caught up to Aras's age, and he could feel his people's respect for him wavering with each passing year. Who could blame them? 

Aras's gaze shifted to the tallest building in town, towering at the very heart of Bast…the town hall. Aras smirked at himself. Even their stupid town hall had more power than him. Nonetheless, power was not something to gripe about. At least not in Bast, where power was merely an illusion of a dreamy mind.

***
The blaring trumpets and pounding drums warned Aras that the marching band was on its way. The same stupid band that played the same stupid lively song, though Aras was probably the only one who didn't like that tune. All around him people were singing, laughing, and cheering. 

Aras looked down at the baker's family across the street as they burst out of their door, out into the open to soak under the rain. The baker's two boys splashed water against each other, laughing and singing, not bothered by the number of times they slipped and fell flat on the wet cobblestone street. 

Aras's brows furrowed, not quite sure how to express the muddle of emotions evoked by the sight. It was good to know the boys still had the hearts of kids. But it was devastating at the same time, knowing that the boys had been carrying the same hearts inside the same tiny bodies for over a hundred years. 

Then again, why should Aras be bothered? His heart no longer had the capacity to feel bad for others. 

With a sigh, Aras closed the windows and retreated into his favorite mahogany chair. Indeed, the Empire did keep most of its promises, and Aras had tons of reasons to be grateful. However, the Empire was still yet to return to the people of Bast the one thing that Aras yearned for the most…their time.

In a town where the natural flow of time had long been forfeited, Aras knew there was nothing in Bast that could ever pique his interest. He'd seen and heard everything there was to know about Bast and all its people. But as Aras slumped lazily on his mahogany chair the day after the promised rain, two shocking news caught him off-guard.

The first was delivered by his servant, Shellah, who rushed into his office, slamming the door open, panting like she came running from the edge of town. 

"She…" Shellah began with difficulty as she struggled to catch her breath.

 "She? Who?" Aras asked, not particularly interested in whatever story he would be told, but slightly amused at Shellah's actions. Shellah was a rather meek servant and was never the type to pull a show such as this. 

Shellah took in another deep breath, and her exhausted breathing reminded Aras how pitiful she was. Shellah was forced to live with a perpetually pale face, with compressed cheeks and drooping eyes that had trouble seeing due to the bangs that always stuck up on her head. Shellah's thin body also seemed too fragile, it could break anytime. She gets tired easily that a flight of twenty steps might have felt like running for half a mile. Due to these, Shellah appeared to be nearing retirement age though her physical age was supposed to be just thirty-three.

"Who?" Aras asked again when Shellah's breathing had normalized.

"The baker," Shellah said. 

"The baker? Louie?" 

Shellah nodded to Aras's dismay. Indeed, it was going to be one of the same old stories. Aras had known the town's baker and his next-door neighbor, Louie Wellington, for forever, and for Aras, even 'forever' meant a great deal longer than it normally should. He, Louie, and the pub owner Tom Harvey went to school together. Aras was the dreamer, Tom was the crowd pleaser, and Louie was…well, Louie. 

"Oh, good old, Louie."

"His daughter," Shellah hastily added, probably noting the disinterest in Aras's tone. "Julienne."
Aras paused at the mention of the name. Louie Wellington's daughter…the eldest child Julienne. Julienne was one of the few remaining 'maidens' in town. With her silky black tresses, her unblemished fair skin, and her deep blue eyes that never betrayed any signs of weariness, Julienne captivated almost every man in Bast. 

Aras detested Julienne. He did find her alluring, yes; however, she was self-absorbed and manipulative. She took as many men as she wanted at any given time, but when she was done with a man, she was done. She did whatever she pleased, and not even Louie could restrain her.
For the past months, Aras had not seen Julienne to his delight. According to their Apothecary, Julienne caught some strange sickness and needed bed rest. Every time Aras would drop by next door to purchase pastries, he'd inquire about Julienne—purely to start a conversation. Louie would only reply in a dismissive tone, 'Fine.' After a couple of times of getting the same answer, Aras stopped asking about Julienne. Truth be told, he had forgotten about her…until now. 

"Ah…" Aras breathed. "It seems Julienne had passed on, I assume. Must have been a terrible sickness indeed." (Good for her and for me), he added inside his head as he stood. "I might as well pay my respects and—"

"Sir, please listen!" Shellah screamed, loud enough to cause Aras to sink back into his chair. 
Before Aras could retort, Shellah suddenly shouted a word Aras hadn't heard for the past century. A word he last heard on the day time went awry for the people of Bast. 

"Childbirth!" Shellah's eyes grew larger. "She died of childbirth! There's a baby! Julienne conceived a baby!" 

Aras stared at Shellah, dumbfounded. "I—Sorry? Ch—childbirth? Baby? Conceived? We're talking about a living, breathing…human baby?"

Shellah nodded. "The baby was born last night, sir."

"Baby…Born…" Aras mumbled to himself. 

Before Aras could fully process what he just heard, the sounds of heavy footsteps sprinting up the staircase announced the arrival of his secretary Bowdyn Edwards. Bowdyn dashed to Aras's office, forcibly squeezing in his stout physique into the door. 

"I'm sorry, Bowdyn," Aras immediately said before Bowdyn could open his mouth. "If this isn't urgent, could you—"

"P—pu—o—nrr—" Bowdyn breathed, and both Aras and Shellah turned to him with a mixture of curious and annoyed looks.

"I'm sorry?" Aras asked. 

"Pub owner…waf…" 

 "Pub owner? What?" Aras asked

"Th—the…"

"Oh, in the name of Sieffer!" Aras shouted. "Bowdyn, I've already heard one shocking news today, so if you will keep stamme—"

"Dpubownrswafgeyvbith…sir!" 

"What!" Aras slammed his fists on his chair while fighting the urge to punch his secretary.
Bowdyn heaved one last heavy sigh before repeating slowly, "The pub owner's wife gave birth last night…Sir."

Shellah gasped, and Aras's mouth fell open, his fists suddenly relaxing as numbness quickly took over his body.  

"Sir," Bowdyn continued, "the military knows. They're on their way."

In the isolated town of Bast, time had long been broken and no new life could ever be formed. However, after more than a century two babies were born on the day of the promised rain--the rain that only comes once a year.

Rain, one of the two miracle babies, leads a life locked up in an enchanted forest with her foster mother. She and her power to wield time may just be Bast's only key to salvation. But will she be able to fulfill her destined duty once she meets the other miracle baby? 

After more than sixteen years, Blaise, the Prince of the Empire, returns to the town of Bast where he was born. Fate leads him to meet Rain, a girl who shares his birthday, and who is on a mission to free Bast from the Empire. Will Blaise's power of fire be able to guide Rain on her mission, or will he merely burn her dreams and goals to oblivion?

The couple follow after Ken and Ellyn then they notice that the kids are waiting for them. They seat at the same time and as usual Tae assist his wife to take a seat first before him. Then they pray silently since Tae have different beliefs with them, after praying they eat together as if they are parents and kids relationship rather than Uncle/Auntie and Niece/Nephew relationship.
After eating, the kids go back first to the living room and continue doing their homeworks. Meanwhile Tae washing the dishes and Rei just looking to her husband without knowing and realizing that her husband already controlling himself very well from the time his loving stealing a kiss to him until he said it himself.
"Hon, I guess you need to stop looking at me like that or else I will eat you up right here and right then"
"Eh, are you sure? I'm just looking at you, you know"
Tae facing his wife and pointing his partner "then what do I call it, if you just looking at me?"
"What the?" Rei really can see her husband already aroused and seeing his pants like that she suddenly looking around and she heard the voice of kids discussing something or rather Ken teaching Ellyn, so she said it to her aroused husband "later, when both Ken and Ellyn are sleeping"
"Okay, geez, I'm really glad that the rooms in CA Residences and Complex are all soundproof or else they heard our love making from the very first day that we consummate our marriage" Tae said while continue washing the dashes.
"...." Rei got speechless
"Neh Hon?"
"Mmm?"
"Aside from us, who are else that also got married and living here?"
"My fellow colleagues who's already married and then who got married but not a CA Families, then some artists who also married their Manager aside from us"
"Oh, I already know about the artists who married their own Manager but I didn't know about the Business Department"
"Well before I joined the Entertainment Departments, we have restrictions about not interacting with someone from Entertainment Department but I think I'm the only one from Business Department who manage to violate that rules though I inform Mr Hwang when we become officially dating"
"How about that ex-Secretary who tried to hurt you?"
"She's a spy from another company and then she's an official fan of your teams before she become a spy. Well, if I remember correctly her main bias is you and who happened to got a kick from you."
"She's my Fan?"
"Yeah and don't tell me you didn't know any of your fans?"
"I'm aware of my fans, so mostly I didn't recognize her because she might have a plastic surgery"
"Dear, let me remind you don't let any ladies heard about plastic surgery or else they will transformed into another one"
"Okay"
"By the way Dear, if you are aware of your fans then how come you are not aware about me and Mei?"
"Are you an Official Fan?"
"Ha, ha, ha that's right, I and Mei are both unofficial fans of your teams. Geez, to tell you frankly, your Fan Membership is very expensive including your CD's, TIckets and others that involves about your Team, so that's why I just download it."
"Ha, ha, ha, if my wife is not R then for sure she's already got in prison before meeting my wife."
"Silly, I didn't illegally hack your teams details and information because I simply download it from legal software and apps"  
"I see, so my wife is really a law abiding citizen" 
"If I'm not then I already kidnapped you when you come to me"
"Then why you didn't? If you are then I will open my arms widely and eat you up right away"
"....." Rei got speechless again
"Done washing the dishes, let's watch Ken and Ellyn first"
"Okay"
Both of them go to the living room and notice that's the kids are already not there since they left a note from the center table.
[To Auntie Rei and Uncle Tae
I and Ellyn already done working our homeworks. We're now sleepy so we go to our own room first and sleep. Good Night Auntie Rei and Uncle Tae, from Ken]
[Auntie Rei, I almost forgot to tell you this one but no need to drop off and picking up both me and Bro Ken because starting tomorrow Yu will be the one doing it instead of you Auntie Rei, from Ellyn]
"Both Ken and Ellyn are quite responsible at such a young age, Hon"
"Well having both Fathers who's very strict, then it's expected that they are like that"
"Can they manage now to awake on their own?"
Rei remember that she already said that one when she's telling that story to him during lunch time, so she's facing her husband and that she accidentally touch his manhood "I already told you..." she realized that she touch it "geez, you did it on purpose and let's go to our room now"
"He, he, he, he" Tae smiled and got amused by his wife
"Why are you smiling like an idiot Tae?"
"Because My Wife can already sense that her husband needs her and wants to eat her up"
"..." speechless then walks to their room and then wait her husband before closing the door.

"Neh, Hon?" Rei is now seating on the bed while Tae standing beside her.
"Yes, what is it?" looking to her husband who's just standing near her.
Tae didn't answered his wife and just pull his shirt then pants along with his underwear and now his fully naked standing beside his wife who's seating on there bed and still wearing her maternity dress.
Rei already know what to do but she ask her husband while holding is very hard manhood "so, what I'm going to with this Dear?"
"I think you already know what to do Rei and ...." didn't finish because Rei already sucking and kissing it while Tae groan louder and more louder "yeah that's right Hon, go faster and more deeper" then repeated his requests many times and yeah, she's really glad that all rooms are soundproof or else they will be the headlines for at least many years as long as they remembered for having a scandal on her room with M'Dol Woo wihout knowing that are already legally married.
"..." didn't replied to her shameless husband because she got embarassed but she just did what he request to her until she can taste and drinks his cums many times.
"That was so good Hon but for now before eating you up I need to do something first"
"And what is it?"
"Do you know French Kiss?"
"What is that?"
"Are you sure you didn't know about French Kiss?" 'You did it when I'm pretending to be sleeping'
"Don't tell me that kisses have different types?"
"Yes Hon and I think before eating you up I need to tell everything I know and it's my own meaning"
"..." Rei got confuse
"Just listen to me and remember it clearly Hon, so now here are the kisses that I know with my own meaning of it.
1. Forehead Kiss (Tae kiss her forehead) and it's means I care about you.
2. Nose Kiss (kiss her nose) you're cute.
3. Eskimo Kiss (same as nose kiss but the different is Tae pressing the tip of his nose to Rei and then rubbing it) you make me smile.
4. Check Kiss (kissing her cheek) I know you better.
5. Eye Kiss (kissing her eye) I'm close to you.
6. The Peck (pecking her lips) I like you.
7. Neck Kiss (kissing both side of her neck) let's explore this further.
8. Lip Kiss (kissing her lips) you're hot
9. Licking kiss (lick her kiss then explain) if I lick all your body it's means I want you Hon

11. Ear Kiss (kissing both her ears) you turn me on.

20. Hickey Kiss, I think you already know that one Hon and it's means you are mine.
21. And Last French Kiss it means let's take this further and I want to become one with you."
After explaining of the kisses he knows with his own meanings of it, Tae didn't do the last one and just looking at Rei who's already have a hard blush because of his kisses. Yeah, they already did that kisses but the meaning he said just now didn't help her but rather she become more hot and horny towards to her own husband.
"What are you looking at me like that Hon? Are you going to eat me up?"
"Idiot, so now tell me what's French Kiss?"
"Just do what will I do to you" then Tae kiss her then letting his tongue get inside of her and said "open it up Rei and just do what I did". The two are kissing and their tongue touching each other then licking their lips and when they out of breath, Tae said to her "that's a French Kiss Hon or rather a Erotically Deep Kiss"
'I did it awhile ago inside the office' "Uhm, Tae?"
"Yes Hon?"
Rei touching his chest and then down to his manhood while said it seductively "awhile ago, are you pretending to be asleep when I, your wife stealing a kiss from you and then doing that one of what we did awhile ago?"
"...."
"I see"
"You are not mad?"
"Why would I be? At least you pretend to be asleep or else I'm too ashamed to be caught red handed by you"
"..."
Then Rei grasping his manhood and said seductively "are we doing it or not?"
"Of course we're doing it Hon, if you are not pregnant then we already did it for many rounds or rather for the whole night without taking any sleeps or a nap"
"...."
Tae sitting down on the bed beside Rei and said to her "come sit me on and I will enter you gently"
"Pervert" Rei said it but she stand up, pulling her underwear and then sit on his lap while Tae guiding his partner to enter her and now they become one again after one month. The whole room of them are covered by their moans and groans, then they did again and again until they only did it for 5 rounds before cleaning up and sleeping while embracing each other, because Rei is pregnant, Tae just did it for 5 rounds and embrace his wife by her back and then the two are joining to their own slumber state.
