As the Goddess Karma watched as Logan left, she could feel that they were being watched. Once Logan left, Karma called out to the watcher. She knew who it was, so she was unfazed by his behavior.

Karma: "Auren, please don't just watch. You could have introduced yourself at least."

Auren: "It was your realm of expertise. I would have only confused him."

Karma: "You'll never change will you?"

Auren: "Yes. But what did you give him to change that world? Too much power and the world itself will treat him as an enemy and will try to eliminate him."

Karma: "I've already dealt with it. All that's left is up to him. In that world, it's hard to grow and he will be challenged by it as well."

Auren seemed to agree with Karma and left it at that. As he faded away, he gave thought to the young soul that just past through. Even Auren wished the young soul luck on his journey.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Logan felt himself fade from wherever he was, after what seemed like several minutes to him, he was greeted by an transparent screen in-front of him.

Name: ???
Age: [To be determined]
Race: ???
Semblance: ???
Aura: ???
Abilities: Void storage [3cubic meters]
Shop: Armor, Weapons, Ammo, skills/abilities, Powers
Missions: [F(Easy)-A, S, SS, SSS(near impossible)]

Underneath it was a mouse and keyboard, and he had regained his physical body back. Logan was stunned as he saw all this appear before him. It reminded him of all the games his wife used to play, things like Skyrim, Bioshock, Red Dead Redemption, Half-life. He remembered all the times he spent with her as she played, watched the anime she loved, or the manga she read. As he looked at the screen, trying to figure out what he wanted to be, a memory of his wife's favorite story flashed through his mind. The story of the Phoenix. The story of death and rebirth, and that every end has a new beginning. As he went and typed in the race part of the screen, a notification popped up.

[Error. Selected race {Phoenix Faunus} cannot be used as there is no tribe like that.]

Logan was surprised he couldn't use it as a race option. As he thought about it, he realized that the innate abilities of the Phoenix were too powerful, so he tried something else. As he typed in what he thought would work, he was surprised that it did. The screen now looked like this.

Name: Logan Scarlet
Race: Scarlet Hawk Faunus
Age: [To be determined]
Semblance: Phoenix fire {accommodates all that has to do with fire/heat}
[WARNING: This semblance will drain aura fast! Use with caution.]
Aura: ???
Abilities: Void storage [3cubic meters]
Shop: Armor, Weapons, Ammo, skills/abilities, Powers, materials, and items
Missions: [F(Easy)-A, S, SS, SSS(near impossible)]

[Accept?] [YES]  /  [NO]

Logan looked upon what he had typed. He saw that he will be making it hard for himself with it as is, and a feeling he once forgotten started to resurface. The feeling of excitement started rearing it's head. Calming himself, he had to think of when and where he will be after he accepts.

Logan: (to himself) "I have to calm down. If I rush, there's no way to tell where I'll end up. I could end up at some random grim infested forest. I wish I could ask where I would end up"

???: "Answer: you can choose where you will be placed."

A synthetic voice spoke and answered his question. The voice nether sounded like a male or female. It was robotic in nature.

Logan: "Who said that?"

System A.I. : "Answer: I am the system A.I. I answer any basic questions for you until you leave this area. After which, I will give you missions at random with no further contact then that."

Logan: "That so? Then, give me a breakdown of this screen and it's abilities."

A.I. : "At once. The first basic function of this is to help you keep track of your well being. Second, to help you organize and sort your abilities, weapons, armor, ammo, item, and powers. Third, to give you missions to help further your goal."

Logan: "Thank you. Next, I see a shop function. Can I exchange Lien for Shop credit and vice versa?"

A.I. : "Answer: Yes if you wish for it, I can make it so."

Logan: "Please do. Next question. You said that I could set where I wanted to be brought to right?"

A.I. : "Yes, as long as it won't interfere with important events like Summer Rose's death or Penny Polendina's creation. UPDATE: 100 Lien can be exchanged for 1 System Point."

Logan: "That makes sense and damn. It looks like it's going to be hard to receive points. Can I sell things I get and can you explain the shop in detail?"

A.I. : " The answer is yes. The shop has several categories to choose from. Armor: this category is armor from your original world, the RWBY world, and other worlds. The armor from other worlds besides yours and RWBY, will be changed out every year and new stock will appear. The same is said of the Weapons category. Ammo is similar as well. The Skills/Abilities are things like lock-picking, sword based fighting, stealth, and cooking. Powers are powers that come from other worlds like the Sharingan, Devil abilities, and others. Warning, these will drain your aura extremely fast. Materials and Items are simple things that can be found or bought in the world such as steel, wood, clothes, and proper hygiene equipment."

Logan: "Thank you, now my final question is about the missions. What are they?"

A.I. : "The missions are missions. They will help you on your journey and give out awards according to how they were completed and the rank assigned. It is also possible for missions that Hunter's take on to become missions and give out rewards equivalent to its rank.

Logan: "Okay."

Logan mentally sighed at the answer he received. He was expecting more of how they worked more or less. His thoughts then descended onto were will he be once he enters the world. Where will he choose, and why. His thoughts decided on five possibilities.

1) Enter near Tai Yang's house when both Ruby and Yang are young
2) Enter near Blake's home and handle the White Fang early before Adam does
3) Enter near Neo when Roman finds her
4) Enter somewhere in Vale a few years before Ruby's fights Roman
5) Enter and survive until the show's start.

Before Yui said something Aryan crushed the ball and broke it into pieces. Suddenly, the space began to tremble, stars began to lose their radiance, the suns began to dim. The space became dark. Only one thing was shining in that dark place. And that was Aryan himself.
"O' the 8th sage of the universe, your summon has been responded.
Tell us the reason for the summon."
"Mhm…. Tell me how to defeat that CREATURE and bring back everyone to life?"
"The 8th sage of the universe do keep in mind that there is something you can't do, even if you are an entity chosen by the universe."
"Then tell me how to kill myself?" asked Aryan. He was really frustrated by the loss of his parents. And to add up the frustration, the entire galaxy was wiped out, within a few hours.
After Aryan asked the question of how to kill himself he was expecting the seven sage's voice to answer. But an answer never came, instead what came was a laughter.
A laugh loud enough to split the ear into two.
"Muahahaha, muahahaha, muahahahaha, now I understand why you left this with us. Muahahah, muahahah. Even though you were a kid at that time, you were able to foresee this much in the future!! Commendable, commendable. Muahahaha, muahahah."
Hearing his laugh and praises Aryan had a weird look on his face. He was confused about the reason behind that laugh and deep inside he was feeling pride in his ability to foresee the future.
And the interesting thing of all, he hadn't foreseen any future as mentioned by the voice.
"Ahahahaha, ahahaha, ahhh, ahhh," the voice stopped laughing and started to talk again.
"O' the 8th sage, don't be in a hurry to end your life. The hope is still here. And shining as bright as a star."
"Hope?!! What hope?" asked Aryan. Deep in his mind, he had thought of every possible way to save all the lives that were wiped out by the CREATURE, but he couldn't fight a way to do so. And now one of the seven sage was telling him the hope is still there.
"O' the 8th sage you do know what is my attribute right?!"
"No, I don't~~~!!"
"I am the 3rd Sage of the universe. And my attribute is time."
Aryan "…"
"You can understand what I am saying right?!!"
"Ah… You mean going back to the past and prevent it from happening?!"
"Yes, going back to the long past and prevent it from happening."
"I see~~~" before Aryan said something else. A portal appeared behind him and started to drag him inside it.
"Oh fck, shit. Wait, how am I supposed to stop it from happening? The CREATURE is a powerful enemy, even you all were facing problems to deal with him. How am I supposed to…." Before he continued further the portal sucked him inside and sent him to some unknown place.
Eyes closed, status unconscious. Aryan was fast asleep. Enjoying a sweet dream of harem members, when suddenly, a voice echoed in his mind and dragged him out from his sweet dream.
"8th Sage *********, you must remember that your main goal is to get the two keys of your life."
"…."
"If you fail this time, then there is no hope for the future. Do keep in mind, the 2 keys will change the future. And the 2 keys will revive the lost lives."
Aryan's mind was bubbling up with tons of questions. If given a chance he would have written 100 pages of them, but he knew it was a dream, and asking will be the same as asking a dead. So he suppressed his urge to ask and closed his eyes again.
The next time he opened his eyes, he found himself in a blue space, where sage energy was flowing like waves and the element of time energy was present.
"This must be the space-time tunnel for going into the past," muttered Aryan. After traveling for an unknown period of time he reached the other end of the tunnel and got ready to exit that place.
Whoosh!!
Aryan was abruptly thrown out of the tunnel.
Everything was dark around him.
Dark space, Unknown timeline~~~~
Aryan was of the idea that he will start his life again, as a kid, and this time he has to stop the CREATURE at any cost.
Like the previous time this time too, a yin yang portal appeared at a distance. Aryan went near and touched it to try over his life again.
After he left that place, silence prevailed throughout the space.
Not a single life was there.
After an unknown period of time Aryan opened his eyes again. Like the first time when he was a kid, this time too his eyes got dazed by the lights around him.
He closed his eyes abruptly and opened them slowly after some time. Last time he found himself in her mother's lap, sucking milk from her breasts. And this time too he found himself in her mother's lap. <<~~ Is what I wanted to narrate. But this time he found himself in the body of a ten-year-old kid.
He jumped off from his bed and went near the mirror placed at a distance from him. His face was the same as that of Aryan, but hair style and colour was different.
This time his hair was silk white in colour. Aryan touched his hair in a daze and uprooted some of them. He inspected as a closer distance and to his surprise, they were natural white, not any dye or any external colour were used on it.
While he was observing them carefully, tons of memory started emerging in his mind. Aryan couldn't keep up with the flow of memory and screeched out in pain from that.
Hearing his voice someone came running and opened the door of the room. But before he saw who was that person who entered the room Aryan fainted and fell on the ground.
The person who entered the room went near Aryan and carried him to the bed.
"Lil kid, your time is near. Just endure it for tonight. You will be fine for tomorrow." Whispered the person near his ears, and laid him on the bed.
Aryan was still feeling the pain, but more than that he was feeling something else. Not only feeling he was seeing, feeling, and understanding something else.
After processing all the information in his mind, Aryan got the result that he was waiting for. And to his surprise, he was transmigrated to someone else's body.
Sen was the body's owner's name.
Age: 10
Was a prince of a certain world.
Have some siblings.
The day after that day was his awakening ceremony.
Aryan was somewhat dumbfounded and confused by the information he got after processing those memories. And one question was striking him in his head, "Why in the world did the Seven Sages transmigrate me into someone else's body?!"
Till then his eyes were closed, and he was pondering about it. Time passed on and he kept on thinking.
At some point in time the sun came out and the rays fell on him through the windows.
Aryan opened his eyes and looked around again in a daze. For a second he had forgotten that he was in a new world and a new place.
He lazily woke up from his bed and went near the window to pull the curtains on it.
"Ahh…. My body, aching all over" complained Aryan.
As usual, he woke on time, took a shower, got ready for breakfast, and headed down the floor for breakfast.
Till then he was doing everything as usual and till then he hadn't noticed everything around him had the same setting as the Kalinga Place. The same design, same furniture, same dining room, just the colour of the wall was a little different.
When Aryan noticed all this he was dumbfounded again and sat on his same chair as usual. While he was pondering over it someone greeted him good morning and asked him something.
But Aryan completely ignored that person and sat still on his seat.
'Am I really transmigrated to a different world or parallel universe?' Was the question in his mind.
'It is a parallel world'
'It is a parallel world not'
'It is a parallel world'
'It is a parallel world not'
'It is a parallel world'
'It is a parallel world not'
'It is a parallel world'
'It is a parallel world not'
'It's a transmigration'
'It's a transmigration not'
'It's a transmigration'
'It's a transmigration not'
'It's a transmigration'
'It's a transmigration not'
'It's a transmigration'
'It is a parallel world not'
'It is a parallel world'
'It's a transmigration not'
Aryan kept on thinking about such things till a woman came near him and shook his head to bring him back to reality.

Book Name: Project Relife: 2x Isekai System
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Grand Elder pondered for a while before posing out his answer, "Aryan, have you read any history books on the old ways of cultivation."

"What?!!" 

“Ah, how to say…. The answer you gave is invalid in this era. That cultivation system you are talking about is a two-millennium old history. I don't know how you came to know about those, but it's better to erase them from your memory.”
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

This is what Aryan got to hear from his gramps, on his fifth birthday.

Wang Huang, a genius venerable cultivator from the ancient era, died in an unforeseen accident while searching for his path to immortality.

After being stuck in a dark space for an unknown period, he took rebirth as the first son of Aditya and Anisa. Till the age of five, he was fantasizing of becoming an overpowered MC with a harem filled with seductive, voluptuous and alluring ladies.

But little did he know at that time, that the world of cultivation has taken many twists and turns over the past two millennia, and his past knowledge of cultivation is outdated!!!

Even though Aryan past life knowledge became trash in that new era, he didn’t give up on his dream of becoming an overpowered MC and continued his journey.

 But again, little did he know, that the upcoming future events, starting from Cultivation, followed by Cross-dressing, Sci-Fi, Cultivation Technique………

Will keep on crushing him and his world view!!

-A month before the Biggest Gaming Center Event-

"Look at Miss Akko defeating a Magma Dragon, a Legendary Boss! She defeated it alone! It looks like she's also preparing for the new event soon! Right now, she's the strongest player of New Life Online!" Ugh... another TV news about NLO. Why can't we have normal news not related to NLO...

It's been a year since I left the game and it seems the world has gone to a point where they prefer to have a life inside the game than in real life. I guess it's normal now as the real world is as boring as ever. I've been living alone now in a simple house I bought not too far from my old house. Since then, I'm used to being alone but man, it's so boring...

*Message alert tone*

Hmmm? A message from a group I joined on one of the social media sites we have today and it's about the end of the world... dark may it seems but somehow, it kind of makes sense. Or maybe I'm just so bored that I randomly accepted an invite when I read the name of the group, "Rupture".

I checked the message and "Guys, look at this! I'm currently near a restricted area. It used to be a forest but now... but look!" It was a video message recorded by someone covered in a hood and facemask with a voice lowered to the point it's unrecognizable and it shows a place without anything but the ground. From forest to nothing, it's not normal. 

"There's no signs of life at all. Animals, insects, and even the trees, nothing all." I can't tell if what he shows us is real or if it's fake but... this is really disturbing.

"Right now, I'm currently near an abandoned place. It looks like an old building, I might be able to find something important here. People are all fascinated about a game while the earth itself is dying. One day, they'll realize that it's too late..." While he's about to turn off the video, I saw something familiar... wait! Isn't that the place near the Organization's Headquarters?! It's a place where Glace died...

The last time I saw that place, it wasn't like that at all. Why would they create a headquarters near a place like that? This was the first time I got interested... I still remember the place, everything about it. How could I forget...

...

Hours have passed and before I could know it... why on earth am I on my electric bicycle with a backpack enough for days of travel?! Jeez... I've got a little too excited for once... Thankfully, this kind of bikes lasts for weeks.

I guess it's too late to change my mind now or maybe I just found a reason to get out of the house.

The first few hours of my travel were not so good. It's been a year since I last went out... and somehow, it's hotter outside than it used to be. If what happened to the video also happened throughout the whole world, then the world, being hotter, might have caused by that strange phenomenon.

Still... I think it might take days before I could even reach the place. This brings back memories... but it's not the time for me to get emotional. I have one mission here, I have to check the place and the abandoned headquarters. It's still weird to travel and not see anyone or any vehicles around. I'm at the edge of the country so it's pretty normal. 

-Night has come-

It got dark so fast and I'm getting hungry. I have to make a camp and rest for a while. Checking out the place, anywhere is fine considering that this road is empty. So I guess, the side of the road would do.

Wooh... I didn't think that a silly video would let me out of the house... Now I'm sweaty while eating canned food as I've got no time or things to cook better food. I didn't stay long because I have to move soon as I wanted to end this silly idea as soon as possible.

-SOH Headquarters-

*Azzie's POV*

"Ma'am, Mr. Aries is still traveling towards the way to the abandoned Organization's Headquarters. Also, about the trespasser... we failed to catch him. It seems he's not a normal person to escape from the grasp of our elite forces." Problems never end. Still, the person who's sending videos of the place doesn't have any idea that what he saw was connected to the game. He's right about the coming of something big though...

"Don't worry about it. We control the media so whatever he does, it won't spread too far. Not to mention, everyone is really enjoying their time inside the game so a little disturbance won't be enough to divert their attention." I hope that's the case... because we're running out of time.

"On the other hand, the virus won't be able to touch humans for now so Aries will be fine. Let him have his fun. When the time comes, even by force, we'll get him soon." It looks like Mr. Kim's video is starting to get real soon.

"Still, keep an eye on him. We don't want him getting too far." Mr. Kim... why's your son so stubborn...

Before Mr. Kim disappeared, he has left a video telling me something I couldn't comprehend at first. But now, it all started to make sense. Everything that has happened or what will happen soon... I'm scared of it. This responsibility isn't for me but I have no choice but to fulfill Mr. Kim's orders till the end.

-Near Old Organization's Headquarters-

*Aries' POV*

It's been three days and now I'm finally here. But...It's real... There's nothing here but land. What happened here? It's like the wind feels like death...  Maybe it was a bad idea to get here but it's not the reason I came here.

There! It's an abandoned building but the main hideout was in the basement. Let's see if there are more things to find. 

I entered the place and like an abandoned place, it's covered in dust and webs, and nothing else. Thankfully I came prepared and brought a facemask to cover my face or else I'll inhale the dust. Now it'll be hard to find the hidden passage to the...

"Help! Help!" Who's that?! It was a females' voice but it was a little faint so I couldn't really tell where she is! I scanned the area as fast as I could and to my surprise, there's the hidden passage. It could have been found by the one who sent the video.

If someone asks for help, that means danger lies ahead and so, I stopped and looked around but the place was swept clean. Nothing to use as a weapon but I have a knife prepared for self-protection in case I find hostile animals along the road... I rushed downstairs and found... a familiar girl and a giant rat! What the hell is that?!

Aries and his parents got involved in an accident, and he fell into a coma but his parents didn't survive.  After three years, he awoke from it. New Life Online was introduced to him by his friends, almost as if it was calling out to his current situation. A new adventure together with his friends awaits!

NLO has four parts but in this website, I will only post it in a single webnovel.

Here's the link for NLO Wattpad:

I am just a jolly good entertainer,
I can make you a heart,
Or make you a cart,
Using a balloon found near the mart.
I can make you smile all day,
Or make you laugh till we pray.
I am just a jolly good entertainer,
I can sew smiles in a teddy bear,
I can sew hearts inside anywhere.
But I am just a entertainer,
To this world around.
Who will hear people like me,
If we start to mourn.
I am just a jolly good entertainer,
Making everyone feel loved.
I am just a jolly good entertainer,
Who knows nothing about love.
I can make a heart surround,
Make people dance around.
I am a just a great jester,
Will be here even in Easter.
But at the end,
When no one's around.
I remove my clothes,
And the makeup that drape me.
I sit alone,
Near that lake I love,
The only thing that won't forsake me.
And start thinking of,
Love that never will come with me.
But I am just a jolly good entertainer,
And I have to be all around.
But at the end,
I am nowhere to be found.
I know that the world will fall,
If people like us don't keep up the morale.
But at the end,
After the laughter,
And the warmth,
People like us just want to mourn.
I am just a jolly good jester,
And who cares,
If I mourn.
At the end we all are just people,
Ready to die for the life,
Of another world renowned.
The jester I am,
The jester I will be.
Making the whole world laugh,
That's my fantasy.
But till now I had not learned,
Till now I didn't knew.
If I was last,
Nothing will be new.
But I am just a jolly good jester,
Who has nothing but a big due.

CHAPTER EXTRA (RANKING 150 THIS WEEK)
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

As soon as the two masked men were gone, one last shadow appeared at the city gate.

"Is this the person the Queen has been looking for all this time?" The shadow had a sensual, feminine voice.

The shadow faded like a flash of light in the direction Chu Jiayi had taken with his little brother.

Chu Jiayi and Chu Wang were traveling quietly into the Ancestral Forest (1), at this time sunlight permeates between the leaves of the tall trees, but the illumination was very precarious.

The Ancestral Forest is one of the seven forbidden areas of the Shokan Empire, among the forbidden areas are (1): 1. The Acid Lake located near the Dual Polarity Sept; 2. Cemetery of the Dragons that is in a desert region near the border of the empire; 3. Tornados Island which is located on an island in the north of the Serpentine Sea; 4. Ruins of Illusion, which sits on a beach near the Devouring Sea; 5. Ruins of the Celestial Mechanic Sect that is near the Demonic Puppet Sect; 6. Ancient Era Castle that is located near Mountain 1001 Asuras.

The Ancestral Forest is the oldest place among all seven forbidden regions, in fact, it is the oldest place in the world. The Ancestral Forest existed even before humans dominated the martial arts, it can be said that it existed since the Ancient Era when the gods walked on this world.

The Ancestral Forest is home to the various magical beasts, sacred beasts, transcendental beasts and beasts of the Tao. This forest can be divided into several sections: 1. External Section; 2. External Section of the Barrier; 3. Internal Section of Initial Level; 4. Middle-Level Internal Section; 5. Internal Section Upper Level; 6. Internal Section Core Input...

For each Section, there will be different levels of magical beasts and even different types of beasts. Only the External Section is not very dangerous to humans, as there are only a few low- and mid-level magic beasts between level 1 and level 6. Which is equivalent to the level of human cultivation: Qi Cultivator, Foundation Stage, and Auroras Core.

Chu Jiayi wants to enter the Foreign Section of the Barrier, which is where it has powerful magic herbs and also where the portal of an ancient ruin, that only will be discovered 10 years later by the hero of this world.

Nan Kang is not only a very prosperous region but also was the place where the most powerful and ancient sects inhabited, there are at least 10 ruins, which Chu Jiayi divided into three categories: 1. Easy Entry Exploration and No Exit; 2. Easy Entry Exploration and Some Chance to Quit; 3. Entry Difficulty Entry and Impossible Exit.

Chu Jiayi decided to explore the Ruin of the Sect Tao Inverso, which was a sect of the Ancient Era, which the gods built to instruct their disciples before finally breaking a hole in space and time and getting out of this world.

The legends say that the Sect of the Inverse Tao studied how to make the Yin stronger than the Yang so that the body would not harm itself and still had its normal operation, of course, also did research on time and space, which Chu Jiayi also was very interested.

After all, Chu Jiayi still hoped to return to the modern world!

The legends also say that the Sect of the Inverse Tao was taken by a great cleft of space and time, but only the gods and their disciples were taken, to the constructions, barriers, knowledge and precious herbs were still untouched, as if the time element had condensed in that place and prevented time from taking its course.

So how could a place full of treasures be abandoned and not have a transcendental beast watching over the place?

Transcendental Beasts is equivalent to the stage of Divine cultivation and can be divided into two categories: Cultivation of the Ancient Lineage and Cultivation of the Beast's Primordial Technique.

The first is the lineage that a beast carries in its blood, where all the memories are inherited from that lineage, even the specific martial arts technique. The second is a technique created by the Beasts of Tao, which are the beasts that have attained divine wisdom at birth. Clearly the second is superior to the first.

But back to the current story!

Well, many tried to get into this ruin, but in the end, no one had succeeded, whether human, devil or transcendental beast. Worse than that, those who tried to break into the ruins were cursed with the Corrosive Time disease, which would destroy the body and enter the cycle of reincarnation as if it had destroyed the time of that incarnation.

That was enough to drive them all away, including the lower-level magical beasts, after all, no one wants to have their life thrown away just by touching this poison barrier!

So this ruin is classified as Hard to Come and Impossible to Quit, so why was Chu Jiayi risking his life by going there?

There was no risk to Chu Jiayi because his wonderful system had already wandered within the ruins, since the system is something that must exist outside of this world or is of a very modern time, there was no way the time element would prevent Karla-03 from exploiting this place.

In those days when Karla-03 explored this world, Chu Jiayi was in his spirit form, leaving the mark of his soul within the ruins, which would allow him to enter the ruins again in the future.

Of course, this was done unconsciously by Chu Jiayi while he was in his form of spirit since he had no control over his spiritual power and Karla-03 also could not force the host's spirit to restrain his aura as it could hurt him and end up hurting the soul of Chu Jiayi.

Then Chu Jiayi was absolutely sure to get in and out of this ruin, in addition, he could bring his little brother on this tour, because inside the ruins would be very safe.

Then Chu Jiayi and Chu Wang pursued their journey smoothly, only this time on foot, because of the many trees it would be inconvenient to use the sword as transport.

Chu Wang managed to keep pace with Chu Jiayi for at least half the day, but at the end of the day Chu Wang was just a Qi Cultivator, how could he compete with the cultivator physicist in the Auroras Core stage?

Chu Jiayi looks lovingly at his small, weary little brother, giving a resigned sigh and noting that this area of the forest was getting darker, although it is only four o'clock in the afternoon, he decides it would be good to start setting up a safe camp.

Even if there were no magical beasts or bandits nearby, it does not mean that one should be careless, especially in a world where pigs want to eat tigers!

"Let's rest here," said Chu Jiayi, stroking his little brother's brown hair.

"I can still go on!" Chu Wang said with a determined look, even though his feet were already shaking with exhaustion.

"Wang'er, a cultivator not only has to be brave and strong, but he also has to be wise and cautious. If you run out completely when you find danger how will you defend yourself? "Said Chu Jiayi using a serious tone while instructing his little brother.

"But I'm going to delay big brother!" Said Chu Wang with little watery eyes.

Chu Jiayi sighed and cursed internally the fights of the harem, for they turned this beautiful child into a person without confidence and very lacking in affection.

When Chu Jiayi awakened in this world again he was greeted with a typical ancient Chinese family consisting of, Patriarch and Matriarch, Father and Mother, and 3 more concubines, plus three half-brothers, a little sister, and an orphan cousin!

Chu Jiayi's mother is the first wife, unfortunately, she had a very proud person and made the lives of the concubines and their children very difficult!

When Chu Jiayi woke up all his half-brothers or hated him or was afraid of him, even his cousin did not approach Chu Jiayi much in the first few weeks, only his younger sister who was closest to Chu Jiayi.

However, given the memory of his past life, he knew that this little sister would soon forget that her brother was killed and that he was going to enter into the harem of his brother's killer! The worst would be that she would do it voluntarily, so Chu Jiayi felt uncomfortable with this little sister.

How did Chu Jiayi, who came from a loving family and a modern time, live in a family about to collapse from inside?

It was not possible, even if Chu Jiayi planned to find a way back to his world, he still had to at least keep the Chu Family strong, even if it was in honor of the previous Chu Jiayi, who had died prematurely.

So Chu Jiayi had some work to improve the relationship in his current family and yet he still had to work hard enough for all his half-brothers to accept.

"You'll never trouble me, Wang'er," said Chu Jiayi, kneeling to stand at the same height as his little brother, holding his little hands and staring into his sad brown eyes.

"But still the big brother is gone!" Said Chu Wang sniffing a little not to cry.

"We'll all have to leave, Wang'er. But even so Wang'er is very important to me, so I want Wang'er to become stronger and smarter for you to protect our other stubborn brothers, " said Chu Jiayi, placing a soft kiss on the top of Chu Wang's head. 

"I'll grow stronger, big brother!" Chu Wang said with determination, but even so, he was still an eight-year-old, so he could not control his emotions and began to cry.

Chu Jiayi took him by the arm and began to comfort him, caressing his small back and speaking reassuring words, in the end, Chu Wang fell asleep in his arms.

"Host, two dangerous people with bad intentions approaching at high speed! Hazard level 7! The system recommends immediate escape or uses the teleportation talisman! "Karla-003's warning in Chu Jiayi's mind. However, Chu Jiayi's body paralyzed by fright.

Was this the first enemy in Chu Jiayi's world of martial cultivation?

Feng Chan is a powerful, intelligent, and beautiful woman from the 21st century, she lives in a futuristic era as a powerful CEO. She is also known as the ice-hearted woman. 
When in fact Feng Chan is a woman who is quite romantic in her heart, but as she had a position far above the masses, she had to stay serious, strong, and with a distant attitude. 

Anyway, she had a little secret. She loved reading novels with strong female characters and gallant men. Yes, in her heart she wanted to have an epic romantic adventure with some kind of hero. 

Who never dreamed of having a love (regardless of gender) that defied gods and demons?

Strangely, she didn't like stallion novels, but for some shady reason, she was reading the book "Cruel Times." That counts the journey of Tao Kang the hero of this book, who has to face many financial, educational, and death difficulties to get to the top of power. 

Of course, like the whole stallion novel, Tao Kang picked flowers everywhere. Beautiful roses from the sects, beautiful lilies of the palaces, and beautiful wildflowers on their adventures across the Hua Continent. 

What surprised Feng Chan was that the character Tao Kang was not a typical stallion totally straight sexual, but he was BI sexual, he was also attracted to men!

Anyway, after a night of drinking to drown her mages, after all, her cousin was going to marry her ex-fiancé. 

Feng Chan ended up transmigrating into the novel Cruel Times!

Not only that, but she transmigrated to the body of young Chu Jiayi who was Tao Kang's first love interest, who showed that the hero liked men too! 

A pity that for mysterious reasons and unfounded rumors, Chu Jiayi became a small villain who was killed in a very cruel way, moreover, he had his family destroyed and his younger sister joined the hero's harem!

Feng Chan just wanted to vomit blood when she realizes her current situation!

I'm glad Feng Chan came up with her beloved Karla-03 system for this ancient world, otherwise, she wouldn't know what to do. 

Chu Jiayi: Hehehe, now that I have my system and I know about the plot, let's look for a way to have a quiet and peaceful life! 

Of course, Feng Chan, now Chu Jiayi would have to fix the things the original Chu Jiayi had done. 

Then with meticulous work, Chu Jiayi achieved the goodwill of his half-brothers, the absolute obedience of his younger sister, and the confidence of the elders of the powerful Chu Family. 

It was still eight years before the hero of this world appeared in the town of Chu Jiayi, so he felt he had plenty of time to prepare.

Unfortunately, things have changed. 

The hero with memories of past life arrived in the town of Chu Jiayi and discovered the hidden secret of his body!

Terrible! Terrible!

Ehhhh the hero fell in love with me? 

Do the sacred beasts want to serve me?

Are the hero's younger brothers still children?

Is the main FL of the harem an ambitious bitch?

Was the traitor to the Chu family is my most precious younger brother?

Is the main city actually full of prejudice and is long overdue?

Hey, author, the plot is wrong!

Take care of the younger brother with even more love!

Adopt the hero's younger brothers and sisters!

I love animals, let's have all the sacred beasts as pets!

Let's make a revolution in this ancient city! Let's be rich and fair!

Chu Jiayi: I don't like harem men!

Tao Kang: All right I'm no longer a harem man! *Throw away the flowers*

Chu Jiayi: I don't like being sent around!

Tao Kang: All right, so I'll be sent by you!

Chu Jiayi: I'm going to be the husband!

Tao Kang: All right I'm going to be the wife!

Chu Jiayi: So, why am I the one getting this great sword of yours? 

Tao Kang: Do you want me to receive your sword? 

Chu Jiayi: *die of shame* Forget... Let's leave it anyway!

"Finally, You came at last, Antonio," exclaimed Hector as he gazed at Antonio.

As soon as Antonio set his foot inside the city of Altia, he was greeted by a squadron of patrol guards who immediately arrested Antonio and his companions.

"I should have known that you were behind all this. I will kill you with my bare hands. Just unshackle me and see your end." barked Antonio, the anger in his voice was clear.

"Apologies my dear friend, but, this is not possible since you committed a crime," smirked Hector as he looked at Antonio.

"You're evil. I am sure I committed a crime by not killing you until now but, I will happily do it now," exclaimed Antonio.

"Eh, you want to challenge me for a duel?" asked Hector.

"That's what I mean to say, Hector." mocked Antonio.

"You can't even see the reality which stands before you and yet you try to find the lie behind it, aren't you?"

"What do you intend to say?" asked Antonio.

"I am neither your ally nor the foe, yet you see my existence as your foe," replied Hector coldly.

"Hector Reomord, you must leave me or face my wrath," warned Antonio.

"It's a cliffhanger, a dead end. Yours and your friends' story end here."

"Tell me, Hector. Am I that a person to have hatred?"

"Again, I can't get what you are trying to say. Even if I send out you and your friends, but, I don't think you will be able to survive his wrath."

"Just release them and give the ailments needed for them to stay alive and, I will become your slave for eternity." pleaded Antonio.

"Okay, Antonio. I will release them but, I have a condition," said Hector as he gazed into Antonio's eyes.

"What is your condition for releasing them?"

"Just a simple one. I need you to get me an item, one of the seven divine rings of this world," explained Hector.

"What are divine rings?" asked Antonio.

"Let me tell you everything in detail," said Hector in a calm tone.

"Sure, I would love to hear it all. But, first, the guy over there is poisoned by a shadow fiend. Would you care to give him proper medication?" questioned Antonio.

"Why shouldn't I, In fact, the guy would be joining you on your quest to find one of the seven rings," answered Hector as he ordered the squadron of guards to take Luke into the infirmary, and give him proper treatment.

As the guards started to drag Luke towards the infirmary, Leon started to follow them. But, he was immediately put to stop by the guards as Hector ordered Leon to come near him. Gritting his teeth, Leon came near Antonio and stood there gazing at Hector.

"So, As I was telling you, When this world was designed with the help of the technology, and brilliant thinking of several scientists and developers, The designers hid seven rings called the 'Divine Rings of Hell.' This is because, each ring is worn by one of the seven princes of hell namely, Lucifer, Satan, Asmodeus, Mammon, Beelzebub, Belphagor, and Leviathan." explained Hector.

"What! The mythical Demon Lords are designed into this world?" asked a shocked Antonio.

"Indeed there are those demon lord bosses in this world. I have had heard of them. They each have a domain under them. We are currently in the domain of Satan. There are six other domains too. You can also call it six different servers but, they are all connected through portals spread across this world." replied Leon calmly.

"You have a good amount of knowledge about this world. Now, each ring has an affinity for something. Like, Satan's Ring has the affinity towards Annihilation, Asmodeus's Ring has the affinity towards Gravity, Belphagor's Ring has the affinity towards Light, Lucifer's Ring has the affinity towards Dark, Mammon's Ring has the affinity towards Astral Force or Space, Beelzebub's Ring has the affinity towards Time or Chrono Fusion, and Leviathan's Ring has the Affinity towards Summoning." explained Hector.

"Okay, Keep talking. I am listening to everything," told Antonio.

"Now, the most powerful clans of this domain is hunting down the lair of Satan to get their hands on Satan's Ring of Annihilation. These clans include Raven Cleave, Helgan Leaf, and Illuminos. So, I want you to go to the lair of Satan, and trick him into giving you the Ring of Annihilation." said Hector in a commanding tone.

"It's impossible. We cannot track down his lair after looking for half a month. So, I cannot say if we can take up your orders." informed Leon.

"We found the Lair of Satan. It's located in an underground cavern around the outskirts of the Kingdom of Kalvar. Now, I just want your little squad to go there, and bring me the ring of annihilation." ordered Hector.

"If we don't agree to your terms, and didn't accept the quest then, what you can do?" inquired Antonio.

"No chance! You both including your friends have to agree to my terms or, I would kill them. All of your friends are my guests, did you forgot?" mocked Hector.

"You cannot kill them. I am sure of it. You can do whatever you like. We won't do anything you say." argued Antonio.

"Yeah, since, Luke is now treated with his wounds, you cannot do anything to force us into doing your works. And since when, I, the Patriarch of Clan Helgan Leaf is taking orders from a fool like you?" Leon mocked agreeing with Antonio.

"We have one of the ten Dragon Knight under my spell. I can make him kill your friends. If you want proof, I can show you an example."

"Huh, you are bluffing. We both know it." sighed Antonio.

"No, I am not. Let me show you a small example," said Hector as he opened the Menu Panel, and called one of the people in his friend list.

The call was picked up after three rings. The guy on the other side wore a cloak that hid his face, and other body parts leaving his slender hands. Hector looked at the guy on the other side of the call and simply nodded. He then, came near Antonio and Leon to let them clearly see the small virtual screen.

On the other side, A muscular guy who seemed in his twenties held a sword in his hands. He slowly went near the wall where someone was shackled in chains. The guy simply cut through the person shackled in chains. The scene sent chills down the spine of Antonio and Luke. They silently looked in Hector's direction who had a wicked smile around his face.

"We will do it." both Antonio and, Leon said in unison.

"Remember, You must do it before the other clans find you. This means This is a Quest against Time."

The very tops of the Gincaidian, glow immensely bright, as the chilling winds coming from the northern side, blew against the bottom. The light cyan glow, illuminated yet, even brighter, slowly forming a massive powerful aura of energy, that surrounded the entire kingdom of Pladtioa. The ground trembled, drastically, forming small avalanches near the southern portion of the kingdom. Nearest to the vast blue sea.
Damien, Amuz, Naomi, and Jake all tried to keep balance. They all tried not to fall off a cliff. Gripping their hands tightly, as all possible, as the trembles of the Gincaidian, match the power of a 9.0 Earthquake.
They all tried to run away from the cliff, as all possible, yet still keeping the sight of the Gincaidan within their view. Especially for Damien, since he is Fragmented. Dumash's turquoise eyes widened as the energy within the Gincaidian, gradually increased its strength.
"All of our progress, just to be interrupted by an unknown entity."
The Gincaidian slowly steers straight up. Without anyone really knowing what it is targeting. A giant shockwave of pure man energy gets released into the air, as the sound of the Gincaidan grew louder. Duivia and Dumash hastily fled away from the Gincaidan, knowing that it will be their end if it fully activates.
The unknown being who is below, controlling the Gincaidan slightly whispers.
"We're... going to get revenge, on that witch."
He quickly leaned the lever forwards, with a quick pace, and the top of the Gincaidan glowed brighter, and yet even brighter. Filled, devoured, enshrouded with energy left and right. Damien hastily screamed at Amuz, as the aura slowly grows.
"Amuz, are you sure it's a good idea to stand here?! What is even happening?!"
Amuz slightly placed his index finger over his top lip, sneering at the trembling weapon.
"This action definitely doesn't match my estimates. It seems it's pointing, directly... up?"
A giant screech echoed over the tall mountainous terrain of Pladtioa. Destroying bits and pieces of the bottoms of the mountain. The weapon defies gravity, and lifted the surrounding lake of Pladtioa onto the air, followed with a cyan luminance. Dumash yelled as he sprinted to the furthest destination away from the Gincaidan.
"All of that... all of that progress... wasted ON THIS?!"
"Shh, Dumash. Escort the people, to safety!"
A strong shake disturbs the balance of Duivia, and she tripped, along with others, who fell near. Dumash hastily tilted his head to her. He peered his bright turquoise eyes at her long dark hair, and then quickly looked back, and immediately fled away, like if she was some random individual. Duivia screamed as the general sound of the Gincaidan grows louder.
"DUMASH?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
He didn't answer, instead, he kept on sprinting over the bridge, that leads to the exit of the city. Duivia's face fell into pure anger. True fury, over her fierce turquoise eyes.
"I... you know what... Dumash!"
She hastily stood up and sprinted to the Gincaidan whilst screaming at him.
"I'm going to end both of our lives if you don't stop treating me like some pet! Treat me like your Soulmate, your actual wife. If you refuse, I will jump into the abyss, that's below the Gincaidan and shrivel up my body. You will be affected well! We will both die together!"
Dumash hastily tilted his head to her and yelled.
"DON'T YOU DARE DUIVIA! I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING!"
Dumash clenched her fists. What Dumash just said, angered him more than she already was.
"You damn right no that's one massive bluff! You don't know how... much... pain, I have experienced with you. You burned our many children, before they even were birthed, just because you thought it was rotten to even have any child when we are both Kings and Queens. We are Soulmates Dumash, UNDERSTAND!"
Right before Dumash could even reply, Naomi yelled to Damien, Jake, and Amuz.
"There's a dark figure, heading straight towards the weapon!"
Dumash heard the faint screams of Naomi, and both Duivia, and Dumash hastily peered at the giant flying dark purple glowing figure, approaching ever so closer to the city of Pladtioa. It roared extremely loud, adding to the tension of the trembles coming from the Gincaidan. It's large dark shadow covered wings, along with its piercing magenta eyes, gradually increases size, as it approaches the Ginacaidan's powerful aura.
The city of Pladtioa remains a ghost town, as an eerie silence risen over the area. An unnerving silence, as the sound of the dark dragon's distant roars, echoes over the mountains. Dumash raised his voice, as forty Pladtioan guards sprint near him.
"Shoot down that abomination with all the power you have, within every one of you. Don't let it get to the Gincaidan!"
Duivia lightly sneered at Dumash for a moment. But, even with her massive hatred for her Soulmate's actions, the protection of their long-awaited contraption is a lot more important than this. 
Afterward, all the Pladtioan guards released all the power they had onto the dark flying figure, but it seemed none of it, had no effect on it. The large luminescent blue projectiles flew out to the beast, but it immediately gets blocked by the hard surface of the dark dragon. It released its large magenta beam and aimed it straight at the Pladtioan guards. 

The beam penetrated the thick white clouds, and immediately formed a large explosion near Dumash and Duivia.
Damien had brief flashbacks of the dark dragon, appear inside his mind.
The way it destroyed the city of Bibest, with no effort.
The main reason why Damien and Teresa are split apart.
He didn't know what to do, but glare at the giant beast menacingly. He doesn't know how to use Teresa's immense powers, also, one of the main reasons why they're both split apart. As Amuz hastily grabbed his notebook, the sound of the Gincaidan immediately burst and trembled the entire world.
The dark dragon clashed with it, and forcefully steers it, towards the sky.
Just as they know it, a giant cyan beam pierced through the White Haze, diminished the Darkness, and headed to the exact location of where the center of the universe holds within The Intertwined Star. The dark dragon hastily dived through the many tall mountains and created yet even more avalanches, as the Gincaidan dims.
The world is surrounded by the vast sky, filled with bright white stars. But what shone brighter than the rest. As the sight of the long streak of cyan light, fills all of their vision, a massive, utterly giant, drastic, and obscene purple, mixed with red, blue, cyan, yellow, every color, along with a group of stars spread throughout the entire universe, and directly targetted Gincad.
"Amuz?! NAOMI?! Where are you-"
All of their sights were blinded with an immensely bright flash. Dumash and Duivia hid near a cavern embracing for disaster. While the brave souls of Damien, Naomi, Jake, and Amuz greatly gazed at this massive event.
The sky and the ground are filled with small white particles, slowly closing into each other. Red, yellow, green, blue, purple, magenta, violet, cyan, brown, black, white every color of the star clashed into itself, as the dust of The Intertwined Star collapses.
The luminance of the Intertwined Star matched the bright color of turquoise. With a giant white light, shining over the entire universe. Damien was on the ground, peering at the colored filled 'night' sky. The Gincaidan was detached from the ground, floating high above the sky.
The entire world could see its bright turquoise glow, along with the Intertwined Star's luminance. No one, not even the entity has control. As Amuz, slowly gets up, along with Naomi, and Jake, his bright golden eye widened.
"Damien, y-your Soulmark? I-It's glowing!"
He slowly reached over to his right cheek, feeling the softness of Teresa's skin. His palm gets illuminated by a bright cyan glow, exactly matching the Gincaidan's color. Damien yelled so loud, it revealed his true voice. Not the voice of Teresa, but his true voice is revealed, to all of them.
"IT'S POINTING DIRECTLY AT US!"
The other hastily tilted their head to the sky, to see the Gincaidan's tips, glowing so bright, it could blind one's eye. All of the small stars in the atmosphere get absorbed, as the Gincaidan glows brightly.
But just after it released its giant, strong cyan beam, the dark dragon bumped into it and immediately steered it to the center of Gincad. Near the division river between both Cakinest and Zomrack.  Another giant cyan beam pierces through the clouds and painfully impacts the small green area near Zomrack.
A giant sonic boom filled the atmosphere, as the Gincaidan finally loses its power.
Everyone.
Everyone could see the bright blue luminance, glowing near the center of the world. The beam from the Gincaidan was so powerful enough, along with the extra power, to completely shatter The Core of Gincad itself. The planet divides into giant fragments, floating in space itself. 
Gravity still remained, just barely. As Amuz, and Damien gripped over the ledges of the floating cliff. All the snow of Pladtioa fell down to the vast abyss of space. 
A piece of the kingdom of Zomrack, which is filled with grasslands, cliffs, waterfalls, and pearl. It's land swiftly swoops by Damien, as they saw the entire world split into fragments. The ocean itself, floated near the giant bright cyan orb, near the center of the world. Hovering its liquids, with a few mammals managing to swim in it.
"What... even."

"What are my sights beholding? T-That's The Core. That weapon... managed to shatter an entire world. Fascinating."
Another fragment of the world swooped by, a giant floating brown rocky piece of land quickly fell near Damien. It's sharp spike-shaped rocks, floated along with the fragmented land. As he squinted at the giant beholding sight of him, he saw the sight of his jet black jacket, along with a man in it, near the bottom of the floating fragment.
As the core manifests the Intertwined Star's energy, Damien raised his lungs and screamed.
"TERESA!!"
As the two fragments of land nearly collide with one and another, she saw him and yelled with Damien's voice.
"D-Damien?!"
Just as they tried to jump off, another piece of the world swooped between them, and they immediately lost track of their location. Damien hastily tilted his head to Amuz, as his long white hair swayed over the giant nebula.
"Teresa! She's there. Near that, cavern-"
Amuz lightly interrupted Damien.
"Even most of the gods are not powerful enough to reform this world. If this chaos doesn't get settled, the entire world of Gincad along with our presence will vanish into thin air. Naomi and Jake fell through The Core as well. They are both located in a completely different universe at this moment."
As the strands of The Intertwined Star's energy slowly start to grow bigger, because of the consumption of the Core of Gincad, massive tears in time and space form, launching out literal planets through it.
One tear formed near the bottom of the world, it showed a giant pink crystal colored planet, slowly getting consumed by The Core's immense energy. The planet's crust slowly crumbles away, as only one large fragment of the world remained.
Then another giant tear formed near the dimmed Gincaidan, which is near the floating fragment of the large land piece of Pladtioa. The color of a harsh, dark yellow formed near the tear and it immediately propelled a giant wasteland planet, filled with volcanoes, along with raging yellow storms, filling the atmosphere.
A piece of Zomrack collided with the planet and immediately divided the wasteland-like planet into two. With one piece of it, slowly getting consumed by The Core's bright luminance. Damien whispered to himself, as his grey eyes widened.
"W-What the hell? What is happening?"
Damien saw a large dark blue shockwave, along with more portals surrounding the Intertwined Star. Its strands tangle each other. Moving at extremely fast speeds, Damien couldn't even comprehend. More planets get launched to the giant shattered pieces of Gincad and slowly orbit around it.
Red planets, filled with lava. Blue planets filled with ocean habitats, along with a few underwater cities. Grey planets, which were surrounded by large harsh thunderstorms. The oceans of it were wavy and monstrous. With four, no nine hurricanes rotating over its areas. And then another tear, which revealed a purple planet, filled with highly advanced alien technology no one could notice.
All four planets harshly get shattered by an aggressive long blue strand coming from the unstable Intertwined Star, and slowly drifted towards the floating pieces near The Core. Damien whispered to himself, as he holds on tightly against the cliff.
"What are the gods doing? Shouldn't they be saving us now?"
And then, he felt a massive burst of light launched itself from Damien's three white buttons over his dark dress. Three white powerful light strands enclosed themselves over the monstrous green core. Damien's eyes hastily glowed a bright white, as the strands quickly close the gaps of The Core. Amuz yelled.
"Damien?! It appears Teresa's power is working. And now its... merging all the fragments of every world so far, back together-"
A giant explosion swallowed both Damien, Amuz, and all of the orbiting fragments.
...
...
...
Just like that, the world of Gincad got expanded upon thanks to the power of the Gincaidan. 

The world of Gincad will never be the same.

That night, the sky was black. The whole world was shrouded in seemingly endless darkness. The moon and the stars was completely covered by dark stormy clouds. 
As if it was angered by the cruelity of the world, endless waves of lightnings striked down as the rain started to grew heavier and heavier. 
Within the heavy rain, lies a young girl. She was lying weakly on the muddy ground with her long brown hair messily scattered. Her dress was now a mixture of red and brown.
Her chest would move up and down from time to time. However, it gets slower and slower as time passes by. It would take not much time for her heart to finally stop beating. It was evident, her time was near. 
As if the sky was taking a pity of her, it let a strand of light pass the seemingly impregnable cloud and to her dying figure. 
Her eyes were slightly opened. However under the light, it could not hide the brilliance it once have. The lights in her eyes had dimmed down, just like her hope for her life.
A sliver of silver peeked through her head as it basked its last moment in the light. At least, near her end, she was finally able to let herself exposed to the world, her true self. She can finally be free from the chains she was once tied with.
Her eyes slowly closed as her sight turns darker and darker till she can see nothing but black. At the end of her beautiful eyes, a tear had managed to escape as it slip over her pale face.
The rain had been draping her figure in layers of coldness, it was as if it wanted to end her sufferings, just a little bit faster. She was facing the dark sky without any resistance, letting the rain ran through her whole body.
Suddenly, the rain stops. She could still hear the sound of water pitter pattering against the muddy ground. However, the cold feeling of water traveling through her body was gone. 
Just as she was about to gather her whole energy to open her eyes, she could feel drops of warm water falling down to her cheeks. Her sight slowly recovered. 
Above her was an umbrella, big enough to cover half of her figure, and under the umbrella was a familiar face.
She saw as the man wiped the tears endlessly gushing out of his red puffed eyes. It was a futile effort as his tears refused to stop. His red eyes was staring at her with a mixture of guilt and regret.
It had been a long time since he actually dared to stare right at her. In front of her, he had always been a shy boy. Just like how they first met, he had never shared any word with her.
However, just like my that time, she understood him. She smiled at him, assuring him, it's fine. Just like that, her smile slowly turned stiff as her chest stopped moving. 
" So he've finally came, huh."
" Just if I wasn't this greedy."
" Just if I'm willing to let go."
" This family, had never once belonged to me."
She smiled at him, and also to herself. She once had a dream. She wanted to be happy, to be able to face every day with a smile. She once had a wish, to return to where she belonged to.

THE END.

"Is there a place, where i truly belong?"

After suffering a seemingly small incident, she was brought into a new world, somewhere she wasn't even sure if it exist. Since then, her life has been nothing but a cycle of life and death.

Take a walk in a park, pick an apple on her way, take a bite to relieve her thirst. Congratulations! You died!

Meet a handsome guy. Say hi cause she find him irresistable. 'Accidentally' irritate him. Sorry. You died.

Zhou Yu Xi sighed as she powerlessly lied on the muddy ground with a bloody hole on her chest.

No worries, death is nothing. After all, her life is nothing but a game. Died? You can always restart.

But, why is she suddenly possessing a body with such godly stats? And what's with these familiar faces? 

------ 
So basically, this is another reincarnation story where our female lead here strives, of course with 'great hardwork', to escape from her destinied death and achieve her desired ending~ 
And she did it! 
or so she thought...
