I'm back outside my house, I deactivated my suit and went inside and directly went up to my room, I closed the window and the door then I released nanites and made a replicator then i turned on my laptop and upgrade it and now looks more sci fi and more stronger than any computer that currently exists. I started planning which industry my company will start with, and i happen to love games a lot so i'll create the perfect game, i started first creating a personal powerful game engine it took few minutes to finish it and now i have to register my company which is the easiest thing to do, so i left my room and locked the door then i went outside to fill company documents.

The place was near my house so i entered the building and went to the required office and said what i want then they gave me some papers to fill and payment is 23 dollars which is cheap, after filling paper i got my license and went back home and i found my father watching tv so i sat with him and told him about my plans, anyway my company's name is Helix.

After i finished talking with my father i went back to my room and browsered any buildings for sale and i found plenty so i made a choice to purchase a big house near my own, that house will be remodeled to an office.

Tomorrow i'll be meeting with the owner and finish up paperwork, now i started creating the game world which is a planet with two moons, i'll allow players to develop the world like survive and build shelter, towns and cities etc.

The world is called Zeroth but that will not be the game's name, the planet is twice bigger than earth and has wild life similar to earth but with more of myth creatures, the game will give the players freedom of choice, they can create clans and establish a base and can also take over the world is they have the power to.

There are no classes to choose from, players can pick up their style of playing and develop and if they reach level 100 they'll get to publish a class with their style but of course that is optional.

The graphics are very realistic then any game that currently exists, but don't worry the game will be compressed and will accompany an optimization that the game will world in any computer whether low-end or high-end, there is also a store system but it's currently closed, i also built a GM tool easy to use for myself and now i'm creating a website interface now.

It took all night without sleeping and eating now and then since i have a replicator near me, i built a server inside my closet using nanites, and uploaded the website to it including the game.

And it's now online and will carry 1 million players but first I need to start a game testing giveaway for 50,000 people so they can promote the game and at the same time give feedback so i can improve it more.

I released a few smart bots to the game, smart that players will think they're players too but in fact they're npc's. 
The npc's will start same as players with the choice to develop but they don't have access to few players features but also can reproduces like normal humans, and the time of day and night is smaller than the real world, like in the day we have 24 hours but in the game it's 12 hours.

I ordered Sel to create a trailer of the game and produce music fitting to it and then I created a youtube channel, anyway the game's name is Zeroth World.

I published the game's trailer and held a giveaway of the first batch of players that will test the game. Then i turned my computer off and then I slept in.

-Tomorrow at 12:00

I woke up early and now i'm currently outside heading to the house i bought, i entered it has 4 levels and a roof. I released my nanites to do their work. The first floor will be full of computers and desks, then the second floor will host 5 rooms with beds, and the third and fourth floor will be full of servers.

I transferred all the data from my server in my room to the servers in this house I'm in. i'll call it Helix HQ for now. I brought all my stuff to my new room in Helix HQ, and invited my cousin and my few Hisham to join in.

I went to the roof and activated my suit and went to space there i built a strong satellite that will boost my internet and connection to the world and connected it to the servers and went back to the roof and deactivated my suit and went to my office then i looked at youtube video i published about the game.

820,192 views and lots of comments so i went to the website and looked at the forum, there i found a post that has lots of replies.

[Is it another lie or something we can experience?]

"Hello there everyone i know you guys have seen the trailer, it was amazing, there is nothing like it but then again there were lots of game that show up that they're great and give players freedom but at the end they come out pay to win or not getting released at all, but i'll hope it's real anyway. -FluffyMushroom]

-Comments

"I hope so too" - LilLyrose691

"No one has accomplished that kind of realistic graphics and game scale before, so if you ask me if it's real then i'll answer it's simply impossible with today's technology" - LOgicguy

"Do you guys know which company this game belongs to?" - Gentleman666

"To the guy upstairs have you explored the website before coming to the forum or what? You'll find the company's name in the footer, and btw it's name is Helix Company which i have never heard of" - Layla01

"I think it's a new company, anyway i hope i'll get to be among the 50k players to join first" - FurfurCan
___

Huh, then I opened the website's control panel and went to the giveaway second and looked at the entries and it went over 900,000 people so I ordered Sel to choose the great ones that will help promote the game in the future.

After a few minutes the 50,000 players have been chosen and received the game client.

Few days went by the blink of an eyes, my cousin is with me here and our friend both playing the game, we got lots of ideas and feedback and improved the game, then we released it worldwide, the game can accommodate millions of players at once and the language barriers is solved by Sel, she create an AI that will monitor the game world 24/7 and translate what players are saying to other players that don't speak the same language.

My cousin came and asked me to turn him into a vampire and so i did, and our friend decided to stay human, but i injected him with ninates and gave him a virtual assistance similar to Sel but a little bit weaker.

The cure of the coronavirus has been announced a while back by the doctor i handed the formula to, and now the outbreak is no more and people are back to their everyday life free of quarantine.
The game is getting popular but now i'm doing research on what technology i'll release next, and we decided to do mobile phones.
Advanced graphene phones with a custom made system faster than anything ever seen, so i built an underground in the house and set up robots to start producing and about the materials i don't need to purchase them i can release nanites to form robots with human appearance and go mine stuff around the world for me if not there is always another planet somewhere with rich resources.

The first phone is finished and we three each added ideas to it and the system is also ready, we named the system Alpha since it will soon stand above all other systems, and also we gave the phone the same name.

I sent the information to all robots underground to start producing the first batch, and about my universal travel i got an idea of researching a ship that will go with me and also to take people with, and decided this only time i'll dominate the world with technology but next time i'll go to destroying again but not before exploring and collect hehehe.

I got out the building, this time i didn't activate my suit i simply started walking outside to get some air, but then i received some new information and that is a meteor heading for earth, the meteor isn't small nor big, the damage it will do i wipe out two cities but the meteor is a bit abnormal and so i sent some probe to collect data.

if i write a synopsis it will spoil most of everything so if you want to read go ahead. and if you have any ideas comment below.

Early on Monday morning, Molly's car stopped in front of Sophia's house. Molly had to be on the show this afternoon, and she needed to arrive in Plain before two o'clock.
The security of the Green Community was higher than that of the neighborhood Sophia used to live. Although the community was new, the guard could recognize almost all the vehicles in the neighborhood. Seeing that the license plate number of Molly's car was unfamiliar, the guard stopped it.
Only when Sophia called him, he allowed Molly in.
Molly had picked up Kevin and Louie on the way. They got upstairs together to visit Sophia's new house.
Sophia had wanted to invite her friends to dinner at home, but she had been cleaning up for the past two days and had not finished yet.
Shortly after, Melissa arrived with Carol and Mariah. Melissa's driver would drive them to Plain.
The house was full of laughter early in the morning. Kate had known they were coming and prepared breakfast in advance. It was just that there were not enough chairs for so many people.
Melissa took a piece of bread and ate on the couch in the living room. While eating, she commented on the renovation, "The floor is the same as mine. Is it bought abroad?"
Kate knew Melissa was rich. "It was sent by the developer when we bought the apartment," She laughed. "It can't be the same as yours. These floors just look the same. Since it was a giveaway, it can't be good stuff."
"Oh." Melissa looked down carefully at the floor and whispered, "They look the same…"
Time was tight. After a brief breakfast, they got on the bus and set off. The two cars left the community together and drove to Plain.
Sophia hadn't been with Kevin like this for a long time. She used to see him every day at Colin. But when she left Colin, she had fewer opportunities to meet Kevin.
"Sis, I'll go to Glinton," Kevin said. "Then I can be in the same school as you. You study chemistry, I'll also study chemistry."
Sophia smiled, "You can choose whichever subject you like. You don't need to think about me. It's hard to concentrate on studying if you don't like it."
Louie and Molly didn't talk during the trip. One of them had to take the art exam, and the other had to be on the show. Both of them were nervous at the moment. So, they could not chat as easily as Sophia and Kevin.
When they arrived at aunt Mcdowell's house, it was about the same time as the last time. Sophia didn't want to bother her anymore, but Molly had called her and told her about it. When aunt Mcdowell learned about it, she called Sophia and told her to take them to her house.
Sophia tried to say no, but aunt Mcdowell insisted so much that she had to agree.
Aunt Mcdowell had good preparation this time. She had had Mrs. Miller cook enough food. Her house was a duplex building with two floors, so there was a large space. In the dining room, there was a large round table for more than a dozen people, which could seat all these people.
After lunch, Molly had the driver to take Louie and Kevin to Lake University for the art exam. The other people went to Lake TV Station in aunt Mcdowell's and Melissa's car.
Lucas asked for leave to cheer for her sister. In addition to Sophia, five people would cheer for Molly.
Instead, it put a little more stress on Molly. Her face was pale. She sipped her lips. Obviously, she was nervous.
Aunt Mcdowell saw Molly's nervousness and comforted her, "Just try your best, Molly. You don't have to be stressed. Anyway, even if you win today, you'll lose to Sophia. Right?"
Molly had long felt that this was not her aunt.
The car stopped in the parking lot of the TV station. They got out of the car and entered the studio with the tickets they had got in advance.
Molly went into the contestant's dressing room alone, styled by a makeup artist in the program group, and then changed into the sponsored clothes.
Her appearance was one of the best among the Super Quiz female contestants. After the list of contestants was released, Bertha and Aphrodite also competed with her. Later, she heard Sophia signed the contract with Aphrodite, so she chose Aphrodite.
There were Aphrodite's latest clothes in the dressing room. The dresser helped Molly choose a suitable set of clothes for her. Molly was satisfied with the taste of the dresser and had no objection.
***
When they entered, they found their seats according to their ticket number and sat down. Since the tickets of Sophia, aunt Mcdowell, and Lucas were getting from the program group by Molly, so their seats were together. While the three members of the Sister Alliance were far away from them, it was difficult for them to change seats, so they could only stay there.
Super Quiz has been very popular online recently. Also, celebrities were invited to every show. It was difficult to get a ticket. The stadium was always full. By the time Sophia arrived, most seats were occupied. It was an hour before the official recording of the show.
While waiting, Sophia noticed someone she knew.
It was from Nina.
She sat in the front row, not far from Sophia. Sophia didn't notice her until she stood up and spoke loudly to her companion, saying, "Charles."
Charles was not by her side. A girl, probably her classmate, accompanied her. That meant Charles should be backstage, getting ready for the game.
Sophia thought it was a pity. She was supposed to take part in the show. Sharing the stage with Charles, she could abuse him to vent her anger. But since she had changed with Molly, she could only watch as an audience.
She hoped Molly could perform well and beat Charles.
After waiting a while, the show finally began to be recorded.
The lights flashed on the stage. A powerful male voice sounded, "Welcome to Super Quiz. Our host, Clarence, everyone."
Then the lights on the stage concentrated on a gate in the middle, which opened slowly, and a handsome young man walked out. He held the microphone and said with a smile, "Hello, everyone. Welcome to Super Quiz. I am your host, Clarence. Welcome. Thank you."

Special Note: If you are looking for a sweet contemporary-romance genre, this novel doesn't have that kind of plot. Most plots of my novel talk about mystery, suspense, and a slice of life. Often FL starts a slow pace of development, from weak to strong.

Cover Created by: Weilan

"No need to apologize to him."
Lin Wanwan walked over with murderous intent and placed both hands on her hips.
"Don't you feel that you owe me an explanation?"
He had actually hidden this from her for so long.
Yu Yun persuaded, "Don't blame Zhanbei. I got him to hide it from you temporarily. I didn't want Zhengyu to recognize any flaws. Don't be so stubborn."
She actually said she was stubborn…
Lin Wanwan looked at her bitterly. "Are you sure you gave birth to Lin Wanwan?"
Yu Yun smiled while shaking her head. "No, nineteen years ago today, I went out to buy peanut oil. The boss said there was an ongoing promotion. Buy a bottle of peanut oil to get a child for free. You're that child."
Lin Wanwan was speechless. "…"
Lu Zhanbei interrupted appropriately, "I always thought you were a premium. I didn't expect you to be a giveaway."
Lin Wanwan exploded. "Both of you are bullying me!"
The atmosphere was warm and harmonious. The mother-daughter pair went to the kitchen together and cooked up a delicious dinner.
Yu Yun took out the birthday cake she prepared earlier. After singing the birthday song, she got her to make a wish.
Only she herself knew how agitated she felt in her heart. Finally… she could finally celebrate her daughter's birthday.
After the meal, Lin Wanwan lay spinelessly against Yu Yun's shoulder and watched TV with her.
Lu Zhanbei, who was standing in front of the window curtains, suddenly said, "Lin Wanwan, it's snowing."
Lin Wanwan's eyes shone. She put on a scarf and gloves and rushed out.
The snowflakes fluttered and fell. It was as if the entire world was white.
Lin Wanwan handed a branch excitedly to Lu Zhanbei. "Lu Zhanbei, draw something on the snow. Coincidentally, it can be the background picture for my selfie."
"What should I draw?"
"A dog. Draw Tianba!"
"That's too simple. I'm not drawing."
Looking at his face that was deserving of a beating, Lin Wanwan felt angry. "Then, draw me. If it's ugly, don't blame me for being unreasonable." 
Lu Zhanbei squatted down. Accepting his fate, he started to draw seriously.
Not too long later, he had drawn two mini characters.
Although they weren't clear, it was evident from certain characteristics that they were of the two of them. 
They were standing together, and a dog was squatted on their legs. It was obviously Tianba.
"The drawing's alright. It's just missing something," Lin Wanwan commented professionally with both hands wrapped around her arms.
Lu Zhanbei raised his eyebrow. "If you're so capable, go ahead."
Lin Wanwan snorted and used a branch to draw a big heart that circled both of them and the dog.
"It's perfect now."
It was rare for Lu Zhanbei to praise her. "Not bad. That's a good stroke."
Lin Wanwan laughed. "Here, let's take a photo together."
Lu Zhanbei walked over and hugged her waist.
Even after a while, Lin Wanwan didn't make any movement. 
"You're still not taking it?"
"I'll take it after the snow dyes our hair white. That way, we can experience living to old age in conjugal bliss in advance."
Lin Wanwan thought that this was meaningful and that it would make a good memory.
Lu Zhanbei's eyes were as gentle as spring water. However, he snorted and said, "Childish."
"Then go away. I can take a selfie by myself!"
"Seeing that you're so pitiful, I'll accompany you."
Lin Wanwan pouted. She raised her mobile up high and took a photo.
Lu Zhanbei swept his eyes over her smile. The curvature of his lips deepened, and he leaned against her head.
Snap.
The image froze at this moment.
Yu Yun, who was standing at the second floor, witnessed this scene. She smiled in relief.
It was good to be young. Freedom was good.
Lin Wanwan spent this day very happily. It was unforgettable as well. This was the nourishment of kinship and love.
The next day, Lin Wanwan wanted to shop in the city. Coincidentally, Yu Yun wanted to deliver a designer outfit to one of her customers. Thus, the three of them headed out together. 
When Yu Yun delivered the outfit to her customer, Lin Wanwan felt thirsty and excitedly went to buy some drinks.
As she passed by the wishing fountain in the middle of the square, she saw a familiar figure from the corner of her eye. She subconsciously stopped in her tracks.


Lin Wanwan is a pitiful mentally-disabled girl. Not only does she suffer abuse from her stepmother, her stepmother even attempts to use her as a sexual commodity to pleasure others. Eventually, the poor Wanwan dies from an overdose…

Perhaps a god or a devil had witnessed her tragic fate, but Wanwan gets a brand new chance at life—an external soul takes over her body and gains Wanwan's memories.

The resurrected Lin Xiao swears to seek revenge for Wanwan.

Having witnessed Wanwan's death and resurrection process, Tang Chen is intrigued by the changes she undergoes. When he tries to cheat Wanwan to gain possession of her, a knight descends from the sky and saves her. He allows her to seek his help thrice.

Just who is this mysterious knight?

The revived Wanwan demonstrates her astounding talent and intelligence. Not only does she leave her enemies helpless against her, but she also becomes a celebrity who sweeps through the entertainment industry. Who exactly is she?

When Wanwan interacts more with the knight, she realizes that he is actually a devil…

"From this moment forth, every inch of your body is mine. Resistance is futile."

He had descended like Satan, wantonly occupying her body and mind…

It's fine. Even if he's the devil, he would still be trampled beneath her feet.

~ Kansas City ~
In a large two-story apartment Christopher is sitting and staring blankly at the huge flat TV screen which is set on the news channel. 
The carryout boxes, some with leftover food in them are spread over the glass table, and napkins and wrappers from junk food are all over the floor. The smell is a giveaway that Christopher is cooped up in this apartment for some time, without ventilating it or disposing of the trash. The dark stain on a luxurious sofa shows that he does not care about cleaning up. Christopher does not seem to see it or smell it. Well maybe he is, but he is not bothered by it.
Christopher read on the social media two days ago how Samara White praised her cousin, Jeffrey White for stepping in and helping her deal with the family emergency. 
He thought that Samara is doing some stunt to get attention, but the next day he saw on the TV reporters following her when she exited from one restaurant… 
"Miss White, Miss White…", few reporters called breathlessly in unison.
"Can you give us more details on the situation your father is?"
"What about your brother?"
"Can you comment?"
"The rumors are that it's incurable, is it true?"
Samara stopped and turned toward the reporters who halted their steps and looked at her expectantly. Her sad expression made them feel sorry for her but only a little bit. After all, their job is to get the news, not to feel sorry for people.
Samara's eyes moved over the reporters slowly before she spoke with a voice which told everyone that she is deeply troubled: "My father and my brother are in an… unfortunate situation. Their condition is stable at the moment. I am grateful for the medical expertise of Dr. Siltanen and his team and for all the care and dedication they are showing. I am also grateful to my cousin, Jeffrey White, who came and helped out when I didn't know what to do. As for your question if the condition my father and brother found themselves in, is curable or not… I will wait to hear from the medical professionals. No matter how grim the prognosis for a full recovery is, I am hopeful that one day I get my father and my brother back."
Samara turned back to leave and paused at the next question from the reporters:
"Miss White, will you take over running W Publishing now that your father is not… available?"
Samara blinked innocently before answering: "If you did your homework, you know that I am still a student, and not qualified to run a business."
The reporter closest to Samara asked: "Your father and brother lost the right to manage assets, and that makes you the biggest shareholder. What will happen to the company?"
"Are you really going to school now when all the assets from your father are at your disposal?", another one added a question.
"Since I am not qualified, and I don't want to endanger business which provides jobs to hundreds of people and their families, W Publishing will go under the umbrella of White corp. and it will be managed by my cousin and his team of experts. As for other assets, I am just a girl who would probably waste them away due to my ignorance. I decided to put everything under care of my cousin, Jeffrey White who will in turn provide me with his guidance and ensure that I stay on the right track and finish my education."
"You trust Jeffrey White?", one reporter from the side asked.
"We are cousins, and even though we didn't make many public appearances together, Jeff and I were always on good terms. I trust his judgement, and everyone knows that he is a great businessman. The company and all the assets that my father and brother owned will be in good hands."
"Do you plan to take over your business after school?", one reporter from the back asked.
Samara shrugged. "W Publishing belonged to White corp. from the beginning. It's only going back home."
"What are your future plans?"
"Right now, I want to focus on my studies and make the best out of it. I discussed with my cousin several possibilities for after I get my bachelor's degree. They include me continuing my education or joining White corp. and working my way up as I learn about business, or maybe start something on my own… However, that is still two years away and all of the possibilities seem plausible. Now if you will excuse me, I have an appointment I should not be late for…", Samara nodded slightly to the reporters and went toward the cab which waited for her.
No one saw that Samara smiled when the cab started driving down the street. She was confident that Jeff will approve of her performance. Samara might be lazy and greedy, but she knows not to bite the hand which feeds her. She will play a good girl who is concerned about her father and brother, and grateful to her big cousin Jeff, because those are the conditions for her to be financially taken care of. And this situation is better for her because her father was sooooo overbearing and controlling in every way, while Jeff told her that as long as she does not get into trouble, he will stay out of her way. Also, with assets out of her hands, she does not need to deal with her ex-stepmothers who already called asking what their part of Marcus' wealth is.
Back to Christopher's apartment…
News filling most of the business and finance timeslots are about Marcus White ending in a mental institution together with his son (aka Lukas White). 
That morning, news showed Jeffrey White walk into W Publishing with his team. That was Jeff officially making an appearance to welcome W Publishing under White corp. umbrella and to reassure all the employees that the bright days are ahead of them.
The reporters interviewed several employees of W Publishing and they were all ecstatic. Their interviews can be summarized as: "When we heard that CEO White (aka Marcus) is sick, we were all worried what will happen to the company and us. But now that CEO Jeffrey White showed up, we can all be at ease."
Christopher checked online various financial news, and he saw that stocks of White corp. went up (again), and that it's true: Marcus is out of the game while Jeff came out of it like a knight in shining armor.
Online polls show that approval of White corp. is on the rise, and people are confident that White corp. is a great place to work in. Added bonus is that netizens believe how Jeff is working for the benefit of his employees, and he is not stuck on profits only.
To make Jeff's image more dazzling, several other businesses experienced hardships in last few weeks, and most of them ended up 'saved' by the White corp. as well. 
Christopher laughed bitterly while reading those news articles. He knows that those businesses belonged to people who pledged their allegiance to Marcus. This is not Jeff saving them, this is Jeff consuming them because their bosses dared to go against him. 
It is a live performance: big fish eating the little one which dared to come too close. Yet, everyone is seeing this as Jeff coming to save the day. 
At this rate, they might start building shrines to pray that good fortune follows Jeff, their messiah.
Ah, only if he can tell his story and reveal how ruthless Jeff is. But he knows that even if he finds a reporter foolish enough to write the story, no outlet will be successful in publishing it. After all, Jeff is known for suppressing unwanted news.

This is a story of three Hill sisters who are navigating through challenges while they uncover the complicated story behind their maternal side of the family. And their father is not a simple man either.

Sarah is an introvert who does not want to attract attention. Other than mad coding skills, Sarah knows how to throw a punch. She believes that her biggest problem is the existence of a hacker Omega and her world flips when the most popular guy on campus approaches her. What does he want? Why her? (Ah, Sarah, that is only the beginning.) 

JoAnna easily makes friends with her bubbly personality. Some call her a mad scientist, but she prefers ‘Dr. Hill’, because that is what she is. JoAnna is an excellent markswoman who can snipe out any target and she is wondering if her prince charming will ever come.

Sophia is the voice of reason, their pillar of support. She is a confident CEO who knows how to get what she wants. Sophia’s degree in law combined with amazing capabilities to analyze situation and plan ahead make her the perfect strategist (to achieve a goal without ending up in jail). 

Every sister is different, and so are their relationships. 

They all have in common: trust and belief that if they work together, anything is possible.


***SPOILER? - START *** 
Story starts with a focus on the youngest sister (Sarah). 
After about 100 chapters, the oldest sister (Sophia) gets in the romantic spotlight. 
JoAnna finds herself pulled into romance last, at about 200 chapter mark. 
***SPOILER? - END ***



"Do you believe in destiny?", Sarah broke the silence. 
"Destiny?" Aiden didn't expect such a question. 
"Yes. The thing that is meant to happen, and there is nothing you can do to prevent it. And when it does happen, everything feels right." 
"Why would you ask me such a thing?" 
"Until few weeks ago I would say that there is no such thing as destiny. That we are all masters of our lives and that everything depends on our actions, or lack of it. But I can't help but wonder: why did I not push you away? ... Why does it feel like everything will be OK as long as we are together? ... You are a piece of me that I never knew was missing. Is this destiny?" 
"Mmm... if that is destiny, then I approve it.", Aiden lightly kissed Sarah's shoulder and rested his chin on it.

Check out my second novel: 'Accident Prone'

The seven boys working for Leon finished manipulating the 140 votes, disposing of the old ones and discretely placing the new ones into one of their lockers. The pin of the locker was given to Veronica who collected it later. The boys finished sooner than they expected and returned back to their different classes at fourth period late.

Veronica collected the polls in between the fourth and fifth period quickly adding them to the pile of polls in her box. On her way to take the box to her locker she was seen by her Vice President, Tasha. She had long blonde curly hair and an extremely thin long face. She wore bubbly accessories, had a different color on every nail and two stud earrings that she would change their color every other day. Stud earrings were all the school allowed.

"Verrr!" she called joyfully
Veronica smiled innocently as soon as Tasha called her and held tighter onto the box of polls. Tasha walks closer towards Veronica and peaks into the box.
"Oh, you haven't counted them yet? You were so fast last time." said Tasha
"Yeah, something came up at lunch, I didn't have enough time - I would appreciate your help counting them today after school if you're not busy." said Veronica
"Of course! I was starting to feel guilty letting you count all the polls by yourself ever since you insisted on it." she said picking up a poll from the top of the pile "I'm sure after that speech, George is going to be so far ahead - he was so authoritative, and dreamy and-"
"Alright Tasha. Just be there after school in the club room. Okay?" said Veronica

Tasha pouted and nodded at Veronica's stern orders. She then quickly returned to her bubbly self and gave Veronica a smile as she left.
"See you around Verr!" she said 

Veronica lets out a sigh of relief. Then continued towards her locker to place the box of polls.

It was after school - Veronica and Tasha were in the club room counting the polls. Meanwhile a rare meeting between Gideon Faraday and Hilda Cottonwood was occurring in Hilda's home. Gideon was sitting in the same place that Leon sat when he met his grandmother. Gideon had a few paper files. He favored hard copies for sensitive information over digital soft copies for security purposes.

"Your grandson is not doing so well, but your girl Jessica Twint is a close second based on the first polls. But you already know that. More importantly, your grandson has most likely managed to convince Jessica to work with him." said Gideon going through the files
"Yes, she's already made me aware of the situation. My grandson is proving to be more capable than I previously credited him. He manipulated the girl into believing I wanted them to work together." she said holding a drink 
"Not part of the plan?" asked Gideon
"No, it would ideal if they worked together - of course I couldn't impose it on the previous lovers, but I didn't plan that he would exploit her feelings towards him like that." she said
"Regardless, despite them working together they won't be able to beat George as of yet." said Gideon
"Any news on his situation?" she asked
"Elizabeth spoke to George this morning and it seems that our suspicions that the Lance's are royalists were correct. In one way or another they plan to disqualify George." said Gideon
"Let's hope they can do a half decent job, Elizabeth will help facilitate his disqualification. Theodore is still not willing to remove his Minister of Education. If he finds out Thomas is behind his son's removal from the election, he'll do exactly as we ask." said Hilda
"The Prime Minister is extremely loyal to his cabinet." said Gideon
"His cabinet is riddled with royalists, I should've dissolved the monarchy when I was in power." she said taking a sip out of her drink
"Regarding that, here's the latest list." said Gideon as he placed down a paper in front of Hilda. It was a list of potential royalists in the shadow council.

She quickly skimmed through it.
"Thankfully Bethany Garner is not on the list - one less demon we have to worry about." said Hilda as she placed down the paper.

There was a silence in the room for a short while. Hilda looks into her drink, swirling it around.
"We usually don't do this in person. What's different this time." asked Gideon
Hilda looks up at Gideon without moving her head, looking through her lashes. She then smiles gently.
"It's almost on." said Hilda as she snaps her fingers prompting her butler to turn on the TV.
The channel was the National News Agency - NNA. They were doing their usual segment regarding the Unitare High School election after school. 
"Hello, good afternoon, this is the NNA, it's Tuesday April 17th and I'm Jennifer Jordan. The second day of the Unitare High School election saw candidates giving passionate speeches. Our sources tell us there was a heavy focus on policy changes in the school and giving students 'the things they never knew they wanted'. This is apparently the first time the election went in this direction."

"All my daughter told him was: a good politician is like a good salesman, and look what he did. He changed the entire battlefield." said Hilda
"When it comes to your offspring, you're often more critical than praising." said Gideon looking at Hilda from the corner of his eyes.
"You're right, though I quite like the boy." she said

"Unfortunately we do not have the polls for today. However, we have with us today a political analyst and expert who has previously written an article regarding the Unitare High School elections - Karl Umpire." said the news anchor 
"There he is." said Gideon
"Dr. Umpire, why do you think there has been such massive media attention focused on the Unitare elections?"

Karl was a balding man with ruffled hair. His suit barely fit him, and he seemed shabby. He had the eyes of a fox. The type of man who would do anything to have his voice heard, a little crazy but just sane enough to still be reasonable and believable.

"Well the obvious reason, Jennifer, is that there are extremely important kids running in this election and people feed off drama. Some big names like Lapuzi and Tomhawk as well as a royal for the first time. Mix that with the immense media coverage afforded by Thomas Vinzent, who wants the world to watch a royal beat the biggest names in the game to prove that he as well can play politics-"
"But those are just rumors, Thomas himself has never expressed interest in politics explicitly" said Jennifer quickly cutting off Karl.
"You need to learn how to read between the lines, Jennifer. Politics is never straightforward, otherwise I wouldn't be able to make a living out of it. More importantly though, is that the Unitare elections have always been important. It's a little known fact but, five of the seven last Prime Ministers were presidents at Unitare High School." said Karl
"And what do you propose this means?" asked Jennifer.
"I have done extensive research that proves Hilda Cottonwood, who created the school some thirty years ago, intended it to a breeding place that produces the future world leaders in all industries. This and several other evidence proves the existence of the shadow council-"
"Dr. Umpire, please keep your analysis grounded in reality. Powerful figures meeting behind closed doors as part of a secret organization is just conspiracy that you have brought up time and time again - but we won't tolerate it. This is a reputable news channel." said Jennifer assertively.
Karl sighs. He's often used to this kind of battering with just the mention of the words 'shadow council'. 
"Regardless, what's important is if this election is even a fair one." said Karl changing the subject.
"How so?" asked Jennifer
"The Vice Principal, Elizabeth Halwin, has known ties to Hilda Cottonwood and she has been the one to count and announce the election results at Unitare High School." said Karl as the news channel starts putting up a timeline and evidence that shows the deep ties between Elizabeth and Hilda.
"No one else is counting these ballots, mostly because no one cared enough. Elizabeth could simply announce any winner and no one will be the wiser." said Karl
"But what motive does Hilda have to manipulate the results." said Jennifer
Hilda snaps her fingers prompting the butler to turn off the TV.

There was a long silence between Hilda and Gideon.
"Karl hasn't been on TV for years. The reason you're here Gideon, is because this is a public declaration of war. Yet I'm still unsure what Thomas' end game is with this. I don't truly plan to stop him through this childish election, he must know that." said Hilda
"Perhaps it's a distraction. We have a plan in place, Hilda. Don't doubt it, it's what he would want us to do." said Gideon
"I'm worried that my mind is not as it used to be, Gideon. Perhaps Thomas Vinzent timed this perfectly, when I'm old and comfortable, in order to strike." said Hilda placing her drink down.

Gideon looks at Hilda as her eyes become dead and indifferent. He knew that look well. Hilda learned to suppress herself in situations like these lest she commit irreparable damage. But every once in a while, she shows her true colors.

"I thought you wanted dealing with Thomas to be bloodless." said Gideon anticipating Hilda's next order.
She simply looked away detached and cold. She picks up the list of royalist names and hands it to Gideon.
"It's time I remind them, why I'm on top." she said emotionless.
Gideon reluctantly and tensely picks up the file.

Tasha and Veronica were nearly finishing up counting the polls after school. Tasha picks up one of the polling papers and her eyes immediately widen in shock.
"Verr... this doesn't make any sense." she said looking up at Veronica
Tasha holds up the polling paper. Veronica noticed it was one of the new ones that was tampered with by the boys. Although they tried to copy the handwriting, the giveaway was that they looked newer.
"What is it?" asked Veronica unassumingly.
"Why is Layla Lance, George's girlfriend and campaign manager, voting for Leon..."

Despite being the son of two of the most powerful politicians in the country, Leon never cared greatly for politics. Until his father is suddenly arrested midway through his campaign. Leon, acting out with revenge and worry, finds himself in the middle of one of the greatest political rivalries in history.

After defeating the student inside the game Quinn received 25 exp points compared to his regular 50. This was a large surprise to him as Quinn didn't expect a fight in the game to contribute to points in his system but at the same time, this was great news.

Due to the heightened security around the school, it would be harder for him to find opponents and draw out their blood. That and the gauntlets he was using a dead giveaway. Although gauntlets were a rare weapon, there were millions of military personals playing the game. Even if he was to use them, they wouldn't be able to pinpoint it to him.

But now that Quinn was able to level up, it solved his current problem of getting stronger without the need of consuming blood. Although he didn't know why he had only received 25 exp.

If he had to take guess it could have been because he was wasn't fighting these people in real life or the fact that the opponent he went up against was too weak.

Without wasting any more time, Quinn immediately went to search for another game. He set the power level to level one that way he would be matched up against easy opponents.

An opponent was almost found instantly and Quinn got straight to work. Rather than reserving his power like in the last game, Quinn decided this time he would just send out a barrage of Blood swipes at his opponent.

And his plan worked, his first opponent was dealt with so quickly that Quinn didn't even have time to find out what ability he had.

< 25 exp gained >
< 330/400 >

Quinn's next three opponents were dealt with just as easy as the other two. There was an earth elemental user who was too slow to cast his spells. He simply avoided the attacks and then when was in range, would unleash the blood swipes.

The two after that were just as easy as Quinn's previous fights, he would quickly dodge their attacks and when he was close enough to them he would spam his skill. Of course, Quinn knew he wouldn't be able to do this type of thing outside the game. After all the skill had a major setback of reducing his health.

If Quinn was ever in the danger zone and then got attacked, he would be dead in an instant. But he just wanted to level up as soon as possible and after defeating the next three, he did.

< 405/400 exp>

<Congratulations you are now Level 4 >
< Race: Halfling >
< HP 25/25 >
< 5/800 exp>
< Strength 13 (3) >
< Stamina 12 >
< Agility 14 >

For the first time since Quinn had levelled up, he hadn't received a new ability. He somewhat had expected this but at the same time was hoping for something useful. He would just have to keep levelling up and wait for more skills in the future.

Finally though, what Quinn had wanted had arrived. The reason why he wanted to level up so fast was because of the free stat point received after every level up.

< Agility 15 >

He immediately put the point into his agility stat and now he could finally learn the flash step from the tutorial. This time while following the tutorial from the blonde man, Quinn was able to follow him step by step along with the video.

Unlike when learning the Hammer strike, where he had to watch it repeatedly and was unable to do everything.

After several minutes of Quinn practising the flash step he finally had a stroke of success.

"Yes!" Quinn shouted.

However, what Quinn did notice was while he was in the white room on his own, his body would never feel tired. He was able to perform the flash step as many times as he wanted without feeling tired.

This did not apply to when he was in a match though. Using the Blood swipe did take up Quinn's stamina, he felt this affecting him after sending out attack after attack during a match.

It meant the white room acted like some type of training room, where they were unaffected by their physical bodies restraints.

With the flash step learnt, Quinn finally wanted to experience a fight with a tougher opponent. Instead of searching by power level Quinn decided to select, Quick match and would let fate decide the level of his opponent.

In the real world, you wouldn't be able to choose who you went up against so it was important for Quinn to have experience fighting in all sorts of situations. Then a few moments later, a match was found.

This time when Quinn entered the arena floor, he could see his opponent standing opposite him, He was wearing a long red cape and by his side were two daggers.

Quinn also realised they weren't alone either, there was also a person sitting in the stands watching Quinn and his opponent.

"Oh don't worry about him," The caped man said, "He's just my senior, his watching me fight so he can give tips."

Quinn then tried using his inspect skill on his opponent to see what power level or ability they had but there was no luck. The inspect skill didn't seem to work in the game.

But before the match began, Quinn made sure to open up his status screen and decided to leave it open and off to the side. During this match, he wanted to keep a close eye on it.

When both of them were ready the countdown started over their heads
.
"3…2..1...Go!"

As soon as the sound dinged indicating the start of the match. The caped man took out his daggers and swung them out fast. Two wind blades followed, the attack was similar to Quinn's Blood swipe only the distance the attack could be used was far greater and faster.

Quinn then decided to attack with his own Blood swipe, the two lines of power clashed in the middle and cancelled each other out.

"A red colour, what ability is that?"

The caped man was wondering, and at the same time, the caped mans senior was thinking the same thing.

This time Quinn charged forward, his abilities all required him to be used at close range, the caped man seeing this threw more wind strikes out but Quinn just replied back with his own Blood swipes but this time sending out four of them.

When the first two cancelled out the Wind strikes, the next two carried on moving forward.

That's when the caped man, lifted his cape and spun around, the blood strikes smacked into the cape but there was no effect and not even a scratch left on the cape.

"Is that beast armour, and a high level one at that." Quinn thought.

The two of them were now in punching distance of one another, The capped man swung his daggers out fast, Quinn lifted his hands and managed to grab on to the daggers allowing the blade to just come out from his fingertips.

Then suddenly, the aura around the daggers grew and the wind forming around dagger allowed the ends of the blade to grow and act more like a sword, piercing Quinn in both shoulders.

The capped man pulled back and went for another strike.
"I don't know what your ability is but it's over." The capped man said.

But then suddenly, his dagger had hit nothing but empty air and space and no one could be seen. As he turned around a sharp claw penetrated the man's stomach. Then another, attack, after attack at great speed was tearing his stomach apart and to finish him off two more Blood swipes.

< 25 experience gained >
< 30/800 exp>

The man watching in the arena stood up on his feet as he saw his friend lose the match. The two of them so far had been on a winning streak. Taking it in turns facing opponent after opponent, the sudden loss had come as a shock to them.

"That skill at the end, what was that?"

Then just as Quinn was about to log out and go find another match, he heard someone call out to him.

"Wait!" The man in the seats shouted, "Please fight me."

Quinn had no problem with this and accepted but unknown to him the man he was about to face was one of the strongest students from another military school.

The battle with the demon hunters was the first surreal combat experience Hao Ren ever had. The memory was still vivid. For this reason, he recognised this woman—she was the one he had fought that day—the scar was the giveaway. But never had he expected he would come to this place and bump into her—who was now a mobile phone seller!
Vivian remembered the face too as the memory struck her. The ambient temperature dropped as she took a step back. Just when the vampire was about to strike, the female demon hunter waved. "Here... is that okay?"
Hao Ren felt his heart had gotten used to surprises. He quickly calmed himself down and pulled Vivian by her sleeve, telling her to not react hastily. While people around them were sensing the unusual atmosphere, they hadn't any idea about the strange conversation between them. People were just surprised by the sudden cold draft, rubbing their hands and looking at lost. Some were staring at Vivian though. But Vivian was quick in retracting her move. The situation hadn't spiraled into a commotion because everything returned to normal very quickly.
Vivian sensed the demon hunter lass wasn't hostile and hadn't the slightest intention of getting into a fight. She felt a little relieved now though was still on her guard. She asked quietly, "Are you the demon hunter? I remember you were captured by the arcane servant."
"I was released." The demon hunter lass said quietly. It wasn't known what she had done but everyone including her colleagues were looking elsewhere, no one was paying attention to her, Hao Ren and Vivian. Had Vivian not disrupted the strange energy field she had created, she would still be like in a kind of shield of serenity.
Hao Ren's mouth was wide open but he couldn't think of a word to say, he still felt it unreal to meeting his old foe here. "What are you doing here?" He finally found his word.
"Obviously, I'm working here." The demon hunter lass replied calmly. "I've been working here for five years. I was even selling clothes next door not long ago. If not for being captured and held by the blue creature in a strange place, I'd have still been selling clothes here."
"That's not what I mean." said Hao Ren. "As a demon hunter, why are you even here? You should be staying in some underground bunker, appearing in various secret societies beneath the churches, holding the kill orders to go after all the demons around the world, standing on the TV tower watching sunrise, and preserving the peace in the city. That's what I thought."
The demon hunter lass said to Hao Ren with a straight face, "I don't know what you're talking about. But if I were to live like the way you've described without even needing to work, how am I supposed to find the money to live?"
Hao Ren: "....."
Hao Ren was totally speechless. What she said was totally logical. He was dazed for a while. "Wait a second. Do you mean that all other demon hunters are living just like you—work, eat and sleep?"
Now, Vivian couldn't bear to listen anymore. She nudged his arm from behind and said, "Doesn't everyone need to eat?"
The demon hunter lass nodded as she said, "We live among human. I thought you should have known."
In fact, Vivian had told Hao Ren a lot about demon hunters, including of how they infiltrated and lived among human society. Obviously, Hao Ren had mistaken 'live among' as a superficial cover. He had now only learned that these superhumans just live like any human—that was the fault of Holywood; he thought if not fighting with monsters, superheroes should always stand on TV towers and act cool.
While Nangong was a demon hunter, Hao Ren had never treated him as one.
"So it means we need not to fight today, do we?" Hao Ren still suppressed his voice while he spoke even though he knew people weren't looking at them. He stared very cautiously at the scarred lady, was still frightened by the thought of being nailed to a wall by a 500mm crossbow. "I didn't know the psychopath has let you out. I didn't even know where she had held you. Where was it?"
That day, the arcane servant of Raven came to their rescue, and took every demon hunters along with it—dead and alive. Raven 12345 had said she needed to teach them a lesson. But when Hao Ren reported back to the mansion soon after, he didn't see any one of them. The arcane servant had told him vaguely that the captured demon hunters would be held in a special spatial dimension; it wasn't just a jail but an educational facility where Raven 12345 would use her own method to correct these racial extremists. Hao Ren had thought that he probably wasn't going to see the demon hunters again, but seeing the scarred lady was a total surprise, it gave him an opportunity to know what was actually happening to her after the she was captured.
The fact that the scarred lady didn't draw her weapon at once when she saw Vivian just showed how successful Raven 12345's 'correction measures' on them.
The demon hunter lass was in thought. Hao Ren could see the exhaustion and aftershock on her indifferent face as if she had been through hell during her captivity. But when she was about to say something, a middle-aged male voice was calling her out at the shop entrance. "Zhao Xi, could you please come—"
The demon hunter lass stood up when she heard the name 'Zhao Xi'. The male voice was so familiar, thought Hao Ren. As he turned his head, he saw a man, clad in suit, with an ordinary face—if wasn't for the fact that this man was the leader of demon hunters, he was truly as common as other men on the street.
Vivian was nervous again. But obviously the demon hunter leader didn't come for a fight; he was surprised too as he waved to Hao Ren and Vivian, half-smiling and half-crying. " Here we meet again but I'm looking for any trouble today."
He then turned to the demon hunter lass. "Zhao Xi, tuck your gimmick away. Please come with your two friends."
The demon hunter lass nodded with a straight face. As she bent down and reached under the counter and took out a rune card before shoving it in her pocket, the surrounding vibes was obviously changing—those patrons and shopkeepers who inadvertently kept a distance from them were starting to wake up and glance at them curiously. There was even a shopkeeper gave Hao Ren a glance and then asked in hindsight, "Zhao Xi, you know him?"
So it was the magic of rune card that had kept people's attention away.
Hao Ren and Vivian, as well as the demon hunter lass named Zhao Xi cluelessly followed the 'leader' into a quiet corner outside the shop. Then the middle-aged man started to reprimand his subordinate. "Can't you work seriously? You're making my job difficult if you keep using the rune card so that you could sleep on your job or play with your mobile phone the whole time—you're dragging the sales down!"
Zhao Xi looked at her superior straight-faced. "My pay's just a drop in the ocean. Not like what you said."
The middle-aged man frowned. "But still, you shouldn't dawdle your life away."
"Firstly, I've a scar on my face." Zhao Xi pointed at the scar and then her face. "Secondly, my facial nerve was total numbed by the toxic blood of the vampire forty years ago. Tell me, how do I not drag down the sales without having to use rune card magic to draw attention away from me?"
The middle-aged man said, "...probably you're right, but still, you've having an attitude problem at work..."
Listening to such mundane argument between a shopkeeper and her superior bored people to death if not for the fact that the two of them were demon hunters themselves and their conversation had involved a vampire—that was interesting when these the points were considered. Hao Ren gave a cough so that the middle-aged man would turn his attention to them—'old friends' whom the middle-aged man was awkward to face with. The middle-aged man said, half-smiling and half-crying, "I'm sorry. Let me introduce. My name's Liu Sheng—name I've been using for decades. I'm the regional manager of the electronic store and home appliance store here. I'm also a.... senior demon hunter."


As a person who is down-to-earth as well as a good Samaritan, Hao Ren desires to live the rest of his life as a benevolent landlord. Stumbling into a curious yet mysterious lady, he began his journey of “collecting” abnormal and supernatural tenants. 
His life only became more chaotic when he receives a labor contract from “God”. Discover the many races, myths and worlds that lie beyond what humans define as normal! This bizzare fantasy full of fun is sure to bring you on a crazy rollercoaster of emotions!

Pewter City-

"So, what now?" William asked, arriving at Pewter City with no clue but a code name.

(We can either do it the easy way or the hard way.) Gardevoir replied, pointing towards a poster with a picture that has a Chimera, under it was a maze puzzle.

"How about I do it the easy way while you do it the hard way?" William suggested, looking around, seemingly searching for something within the pokemon centre.

(I recommend the easy way really.) Gardevoir shrugged.

"Alright." William just went up and tore down the poster. He then threw it into the litter bin next to the board.

"Now, let's wait for Chimera." He went to a nearby chair and sat there, staring at the board.

After about 10 minutes, a teenager sat next to William.

William didn't really gave any attention except for the fact that he suddenly felt a little cold, until he heard the teenager say something.

"Limbo? That was quite a cheap trick..."

William quickly turned his head over to analyse the teenager. It is impossible to determine her gender by just looking ay her, as somehow, her secondary sex characteristic are either concealed very well or made to misdirect others. Her most iconic things are a large scarf enough to cover her face up to her nose and a beanie that's a bit too high for her head.

(I guess that's what Jason meant about with his tip.) William can't help but think about to himself.

The only possible giveaway is probably her voice, and her quite feminine look.

"Chimera, Its not an average summer gear you're wearing." William referred to her clothings, he then pointed at himself, which was basically a pair of long pants and a t-shirt. "Plus, why do it the hard way when there is an easy way?"

William then stood up, Gardevoir and Chimera following. They walked towards a cafe inside the Pokemon Centre.

After they settled down and each ordered something to drink, William was first to speak.

"So, Chimera, I'm correct to assume we're partners from now on right?" He said as the waiter brought in their drinks.

"Appears so, and my name is Alexandra, but please refer to me as Alex." Alex said with a muffled voice that's nearly impossible to hear.

(Hello, Alex, I'm Gardevoir, who apparently is the team pokemon.) Gardevoir waved towards Alex while William nodded slightly towards the waiter.

"Telepathy? That's a good ability."

After that, the scene went silent and awkward, everyone was drinking their drinks until William finally started a topic.

"Well, since we're going to be close battling partners from now on, I'm afraid we need to know each other throughly."

Alex nodded slightly.

But before William could say anything, Alex's cellphone rung.

As she picked it up, she looked towards William, and after a minute or so, she handed it over to William.

"Hello there Limbo, I'm sure you've already met with Chimera right?" Jason's voice came out as William placed the phone near his ears.

"Yes, what's the problem?"

"Well, the organisation has an operation in the upcoming 5 days, orders were given to your team to join. Perform nicely, it decides my pay, and your amount of freedom in normal time."

William's eyebrow twitched slightly when hearing that.

"Roger." Still, he wouldn't say no to an order.

"Go to Vermillion City, a Team Rocket agent will be awaiting for your arrival, the code is Anne." After Jason gave the message, he disconnected.

William handed Alex's phone back to her.

"I believe we should be on our way then?" William turned his head towards the television in the cafe, which was on weather report channel.

"Shouldn't we fight once to have a better understanding of each other's battle strength?" Alex asked, which gained the response of William instantly turning his head back.

"Oh?" William was shocked by Alex's request, since she was more of a shy and quiet person in his view. He looked into Alex's eye, seeing nothing but confidence.

"If Gardevoir agrees." William threw the ball to Gardevoir, whom just nodded in agreement.

"Then I suppose that solves our issue, let's head towards the training ground." William and Gardevoir got up and started heading outside.

"Um..." Alex looked at the table and muttered, "The bill..."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

On the training grounds-

"So, any rules?" William shouted, since they're about 50-70m apart.

"1 vs 1" Alex shouted, which was the first time William could hear her voice clearly. It was slightly high pitched, a bit on the feminine side.

After that, her shadow suddenly had an irregular movement, and a black shadow darted out onto the field.

(A gengar? She's not a normal one, pay extra caution.) William warned Gardevoir.

Suddenly, Alex took out what seems like a coin and threw it upwards.

William instantly knew what she meant, and waited as the coin fell.

When it finally touched the ground, she shouted, "Gengar! T4!" To which Gengar

Formed a bulb of toxic gas on its hand.

(Contain it!) William instant recognised that Alex was also the same kind of person as he is. He didn't dare to risk testing what kind of toxic cloud it was.

Gardevoir instantly created her iconic cube, which created a dim cage around the entire battle arena.

Before the toxic cloud was sent out, a piece of rock appeared at its location, scaring Gengar a bit. Meanwhile, the Toxic cloud went missing.

Alex raised an eyebrow at this situation, she too had realised the same thing. After looking at the ground for a bit, she smiled brightly despite no one would've noticed it, and suddenly, everything surrounding her new partner seems interesting.

"Gengar! Don't hold back!"

(Gardevoir, let's show them our progress!)

Gengar's whole body suddenly faded a bit, and soon, gas seems to emit out of it, also, it's colour turned slightly darker, its iconic sinister smile grew larger, and eyes glow brightly red.

Gardevoir's eyes started glowing bright blue, two flat rings appeared and surrounded Gardevoir's right arm, on it was all sorts of numbers and constants. Also, under Gardevoir's right eye, streams of numbers started flowing, as if information was being transmitted around.

"This is going to be interesting."

(This is going to be interesting.)

This is a world of pokemon. 
They are everywhere and are waiting for us, these creatures are what makes the world whole, they differ from each other, making up the interesting world we see. 
But there should be some sort of key, a key to link every one and unique existence. 
For us, it’s physics. 
Welcome! To the world that is governed by physics and knowledge!
