A world.
A place.
A fantasy that explains what might actually happen in the future. A war. Deaths. 
One girl.
One man.
An entire mystery.
What happens in the end?

When Gun-Ho entered the office next door, the design workers stood up altogether.
"Hi. I came with President Jeong-Sook Shin here. She will join you starting today."
"Hi. I've heard a lot about you. My name is Min-Sook Oh."
"You look familiar. Have we met before?"
"I've done some contracting work for KimBooks before."
"Oh, I see. That's why you look so familiar. Nice to meet you. I'm Jeong-Sook Shin."
Min-Sook introduced the other two workers to her.
"This lady here worked in the design team with me. And the lady here, she handled administrative work for our previous company."
"Oh, is that right? Have you worked with a publishing application before?"
"No, not yet."
"We will start using a publishing application at work. The daily orders from Kyobo Book Center and Yes24 for example or some other companies will be all handled using the software. We will use the publishing application for our shipping request as well."
 
When Jeong-Sook started talking with her employees about the work at the publishing company, Gun-Ho stood up to leave.
"Alright. I will leave you all here so you could comfortably talk about the work. I have an important meeting I need to attend anyway."
President Shin quickly handed a piece of paper to Gun-Ho.
"What is this?"
"It's a list of the books we will publish."
"Haha. If you are okay with the book selection, then I am okay with it. I totally leave the decision up to you to use your discretion. Manager Kang, why don't you hand over the company bank account and credit card to President Shin?"
"Yes, sir."
Manager Kang handed the new publishing company's bank book and business credit card to Jeong-Sook. Gun-Ho then walked out of the office. They will talk further about the details of the tasks and things of their publishing company.
 
The workers came to the front door of the office to see Gun-Ho leaving.
"Today is the first day of the company. Why don't you celebrate by having lunch in a nice restaurant all together today?"
 
Gun-Ho then headed to Asan City.
Gun-Ho was having a cup of coffee in the morning with several directors and managers when the plant manager brought up the topic about Jae-Sik Moon.
"The security guard who used to work night shift here quit the job. I heard he is someone you know, sir."
"I recently established a publishing company named GH Media. He will be working for that company as a chief editor."
"A chief editor?"
"Yes. He used to work in the publishing field, and his novel has recently been selected for an award. The prize was 50 million won."
"Oh, I see. I didn't know he was a writer. Well, I think I saw him writing something in his security guard office. I guess he was writing a novel."
The people in the office all laughed together.
"That's good for him. He didn't seem to fit in here anyway. He was inept at the work, and I was thinking of letting you know about it. Well, he found a job that fits in with his talent. I am happy for him."
Gun-Ho was picturing Jae-Sik sitting at a desk writing and working with books that he loved. Gun-Ho felt happy for Jae-Sik.
 
After having a morning meeting with managers and directors, Gun-Ho checked his email. There was an email from President Jeong-Sook Shin; it said,
"President Goo, I understand that I don't have to give you a daily report; however, I believe I need to let you know the decision on the books which we will be publishing, and the salaries of the workers. Here is the list of books we plan to publish."
President Shin listed six books. The book list showed mostly the books about self-development that could be easily read by readers, except 'Economy Trend in China for the 21st Century' authored by Professor Jien Wang. Three of them were written by Japanese writers, and two of them were authored by famous Korean columnist.
"The book titles of these books are very provocative."
Gun-Ho then looked at the workers' salaries.
"President Shin 3.5 million won, Chief Editor Jae-Sik Moon 2.5 million won, Min-Sook Oh 2.2 million won, Assistant designer and administrative staff 1.9 million won."
"I told her that I would pay her 5 million won, but she lowered it to 3.5 million won for herself. I guess she was concerned about what other workers would think about her receiving a high salary now when the company even haven't started generating revenue. However, I know she will ask me to raise it once a book starts selling. She seems to be a sensitive person about money."
 
Gun-Ho was reading an economic newspaper when the sales director entered his office.
"Sir, this is the product cost that we will bring to S Group."
"How much is the product cost per unit?"
"It's 4,800 won."
"The labor cost is 860 won, huh?"
"Yes. The labor cost is divided into three different labors: handling the extruding machine and mixing the chemicals, and cutting work, and lastly quality assurance and wrapping."
"Is this based on the next year's projected labor cost?"
"No. We used this year's labor cost. We need to base this year's labor cost for the products that will be manufactured this year."
"The product unit cost seems to be very high. What costs are included?"
"It includes electricity and rent for the factory."
"A rent for the factory?"
"Yes. Even though we own the factory, I included the rental cost. Also, various supplies expenses and depreciation are reflected in the production cost."
"The manufacturing cost per unit itself already exceeds 3,500 won."
"The cost of wrapping and shipping have reflected that cost."
"How much did you list for sales and management?"
"15% of the product cost."
"Do you think the S Group will raise the issue on it?"
"They will try to lower that cost. However, I will convince them to approve our estimated product cost."
"Okay."
"Please sign on the production cost sheet. We will need your signature on it so we can use it outside the company, sir."
Gun-Ho signed on the production cost.
Gun-Ho asked with a smile,
"How much do you think they will ask in their first order?"
"I am not so sure, but I am expecting that they will ask us to produce about 50,000 units."
"50,000… It's 240 million won then."
The sales director was surprised by that, Gun-Ho calculated the revenue without using a calculator.
'He has an excellent number of sense and high capacity for mental computation. Wow. No wonder he succeeded at his young age.'
 
"Have we received enough raw materials from Dyeon America already for those first 50,000 product unit?"
"We received 3 tons of raw materials so far. We are unloading it right now using a forklift truck."
"Are you visiting S Group tomorrow with the production cost document?"
"Yes. I will go with the assistant manager who was in charge of that estimation."
"Sounds good."
"Okay, sir. Please let me know if you need anything."
 
The sales director was walking towards the office door to leave when he turned back and came to Gun-Ho to say,
"Sir, I have something I'd like to ask you."
"What is it?"
"Can we have two workers from the research center assigned to our sales department once the research center is dissolved?"
"I will send you one worker."
"We need two of them, sir. We need at least two more people in order to strengthen our sales capacity."
"Let's talk about it later then."
"Okay, sir. I will leave now."

This is the story of a poor young man whose poverty even shreds apart their family willing to climb his way through society and into the top. A very realistic novel that moves away from fantasy and sci-fi and focuses solely on the issues of society and life.

Jiang Dejun and his wife were urged back due to work. The reason needless to say was due to [Stories About The Ming Dynasty] suddenly emerging into fame.

Discovering the author Bright Moon was supposedly from Shanghai, the excitement and interest of all the publishing houses in Shanghai were naturally aroused.

Currently there were few in the industry who didn't know about the novel!

The hottest topic on the Internet right now was -"Did you read [Stories About The Ming Dynasty] today?"

The new legend of online novels! Today the number of hits on it had exceeded a million!

Just the traffic it brought in alone had almost broken the Tianya Forum servers!

...

As [Stories About The Ming Dynasty] became more and more popular on the Internet and more and more popular in reality, more and more publishers and retailers began to focus on the book. The book in their eyes was the Chinese [Harry Potter], a gold mine! And the author who hadn't appeared yet, Bright Moon was the JK Rowling of China! "

It was a pity that Bright Moon was too inconspicuous. The chapters uploaded online were almost enough to produce a book, but he still hadn't contacted a publisher yet. Unlike JK Rowling who, when she finished writing [Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone] instantly began to search everywhere for publishers, suffering through several twists and turns before she managed to successfully publish her novel.

Bright Moon still remained hiding in the dark, despite them taking the initiative and swarming him with messages and flattery.

This left the major publishing houses anxious and distraught. As the book became more and more popular, piracy had begun to appear but the author still hadn't appeared! Was he insane? This was all potential money!

The local publishers in Shanghai especially were in pain. This was like hearing the God of Wealth was at your doorstep, but you couldn't find your keys to unlock the door. 

Executives began trying to contact Tianya to find a way to contact the author and some even resorted to looking for hackers to track Jiang Cheng's address.

Unfortunately, they underestimated Jiang Cheng. After all, staying in the United States for so many years in his past life and having been in contact with future tech, he had a few tricks up his sleeve to prevent people tracking him down. He created a bunch of fake temporary emails and routed his internet connection through a bunch of VPN's. 

He was unaware but Jiang Cheng's actions killed the arrogance of those domestic hackers who usually held proud gazes, and let them deeply understand their own shortcomings as they ran head first into Microsoft's brand new PPTP VPN network. Running into it now ahead of time before it became mainstream, China's hacking underworld actually gained a boost as they developed ahead of time, indirectly driving the vigorous development of computer technology in China. And a few years later, Jiang Cheng would even profit because of this, though he didn't realize it now. 

Xu Guoqing, Chairman and the main shareholder of Southern Weekly Publishing House, was also amongst those eagerly searching for Bright Moon.

The performance of Southern Weekly had dropped so badly in the past two years that it was in need of revitalizing before it truly fell into deep trouble and it was at this time that [Stories About The Ming Dynasty] had appeared. Xu Guoqing was attracted at first sight by [Stories About The Ming Dynasty] not because he was a fan of the book, but because he saw the vast money making potential of it!

This was the kind of work that could save their publishing house. Xu Guoqing wanted it and Southern Weekly needed it!

Southern Weekly was also the publishing house where Jiang Cheng's father Jiang Dejun worked, 

It was formerly known as Southern Publishing House but Southern Weekly was one of their core magazines, having been extremely popular for some time in the 1990's and due to the brand recognition it provided they had eventually decided to rename the publishing house after it.

However despite it's fancy new name, the performance of Southern Weekly had fallen sharply, exiting it's honeymoon period as it headed for the sunset.

In Jiang Cheng's view, the main reason for the decline in Southern Weekly's performance was that it's thinking was too old. Southern Weekly mainly dealt with documentary reports, tracking current affairs at home and abroad and asking experts and scholars to give reports.
 
This was very popular in the last century, because at that time people had very little access to information, only resorting to newspapers and magazines; But now there were more and more channels of information, which were ultimately faster and cheaper. For paper media to compete would only get harder and more futile.

When people could just search for what they wanted to know without much hustle for free, why would they want to pay for your magazines and newspapers? Which were neither fast or up to date.

Even if they didn't want to go online, they could just watch those news channels. Why go and buy magazines and newspapers?

As a result, mergers were becoming more and more prevalent. There were fewer and fewer small and medium-sized publishing houses, with most either being annexed by the main titans or closing down. Those who didn't want to go bankrupt, switched to do something else. 

Southern Weekly could sustain itself up to now, thanks to the brand loyalty they had accumulated among their middle-aged and elderly customer base in their early years. But while they were fine currently they were running on a timer.

So Xu Guoqing seeing [Stories About The Ming Dynasty] becoming more and more popular became hopeful and anxious. 

But that hope soon transformed to frustration and anger when he realized that his CEO and editor-in-chief, Jiang Dejun at such a critical juncture had taken his wife to Hainan on holiday and was seemingly pulling off a second honeymoon!

"Oh, it wasn't a honeymoon, but a family trip to Hainan. So why is your son still at home?"

"The kid said he didn't want to go, so the two of you went alone. How is that not a honeymoon?"

The most excessive thing was that Jiang Dejun had been gone for almost a month, and he still hadn't come back?

Seeing that they hadn't had much work recently, he actually went and approved himself a month-long vacation. 

"Dammit, hurry and get your ass back here!"

So with that Jiang Cheng's parents reluctantly ended their second honeymoon.

Yeah, it was indeed a second honeymoon.

Though to be fair they didn't initially plan it as such, after all the trip was originally planned for the whole family but Jiang Cheng right at the end refused to go!

And since they had already paid....It would have been a waste to cancel, so they went.  After all they  rarely got so much alone time together.

The two of them enjoyed the gentle sunshine, golden sand and warm waves of Hainan and even went as far as to turn off their phones, only switching them on an hour a day.
 
So when they learned what was going on from an angry Xu Guoqing, they were stunned. 

[Stories About The Ming Dynasty] was tens of chapters deep but Bright Moon still hadn't appeared yet, was he really so generous as to let everyone read his book for free?

Publishers naturally didn't believe so, they thought that Bright Moon was fishing amongst them for the highest bid. So publishers secretly raised the price tag in their hearts, they couldn't wait for the appearance of Bright Moon.

Even Jiang Dejun, upset about his holiday, after reading [Stories About The Ming Dynasty] couldn't help admit that it was a rare book, destined to create waves. 

But then thinking of what he was missing out on, he couldn't help but feel slightly aggrieved. 

Of all the times for this Bright Moon character to appear it just had to be now huh, dammit. 

But what he didn't expect was that when he got home, he would run into the very person he was cursing.

Jiang Cheng a screenwriter is reincarnated to 2001, into the seventeen-year-old body of another Jiang Cheng. 

Clutching onto the dreams of his previous life he attempts to succeed where he previously failed. 

He starts from scratch, as a small-time screenwriter writing television shows and movie scripts. 

Filled with dreams of becoming a generational  entertainment legend and establishing an entertainment empire he takes the road to become the King of Film.

Debbie was in high spirits that day. Scarlet didn't know why her editor was so chirpy but she smiled too.
"Oh! I see that you're finally out of the cast. How does it feel?"
The young writer laughed. "Not much different from when I'm still in a cast... I was told that I'd still need a few weeks to get used to moving around again and about a month before I can try to walk without the splint and crutches. There are physiotherapy classes that I will be attending to help with the recovery process but it feels great not having to bear the itch and not be able to scratch it."
The editor smiled and presented the girl with an envelope.
"This is...?"
Debbie grinned. "Open it."
Scarlet grabbed a letter opener and neatly ripped it open. There was a letter addressed to Scarlet and the girl looked at her teacher.
"This...?!"
Debbie couldn't keep the wide smile away from her face. "I turned it in to a friend who is a literary agent and it was well-received. Your very first writing contract, darling. Congratulations."
Scarlet didn't know how to react and cried. Sixteen is a Gang might not be her first work but in terms of growth, it marked a significant milestone for the girl who had gained not only a precious family but a very close group of friends who didn't shun her. The fact that the publishing agent who accepted the manuscript mentioned how touching the feelings of the main character moved them made Scarlet feel as if it wasn't written in vain.
The young writer had poured her feelings and the trials they'd overcome together into this make-belief world of adventure and evil adults. While the manuscript was unpolished in the eyes of the publishing agent, they were keen to sign her up for publication because of that unique perspective and Scarlet's ability to move people with her story.
"I didn't tell them your age. This meeting might have to wait until you tell the good news to Wilmer and Orita. People normally don't get their writing contracts with their second attempt. You're very talented, Scarlet. I'm hoping to see more of your future works, there's nothing much I can teach you at this moment."
Scarlet hugged Debbie and thanked her from the bottom of her heart. Being offered a writing contract meant a lot for Scarlet. It meant that she was acknowledged and more importantly, this was something she didn't accomplish using the influence of the Wilde Family's name. Could this be the way she could repay Mrs Wilde's kindness of accepting her into their family?
The good news couldn't remain a secret forever. When Alex and Jasper returned home that day, Scarlet told them the good news. One good news multiplied into two and when Mr Wilde returned home, he called for a celebration. It turned out that there was not just one simple piece of good news. They had two unexpected but dearly missed guests joining them for dinner and another two guests whom Scarlet was happy to receive.
"Mother!" the girls screamed with joy as Jenna brought the luggage up. Mrs Wilde bent down to hug her girls with Jasper awkwardly standing by Mr Wilde's side.
"Mrs Wilde," he greeted politely and offered to help Jenna.
Claire bowed with Tina and Sue behind her. The lady butler was impressed by Claire's management of the household. The head maid did a great job despite the lack of manpower. Also, due to the short notice, Jenna was expecting some difficulty in being able to accommodate such a large group. Claire didn't seem to struggle with the new guests. The dining table was quickly modified with the table extended to fit the extra people for dinner. The maids under Claire's care were also quick to whip up extra dishes and make enough food for everyone, not neglecting to add a touch of classiness to them befitting of the Wilde Family's prestige.
Alex announced that she won an art competition that she was secretly participating in and was going to have her work displayed at an exhibit. Mrs Wilde and Jenna revealed that they would be moving over to live in Singapore for a more permanent period of time from now on so that they could spend more time as a family. Jasper's parents would also visit from time to time when Mr and Mrs Wilde had to fly for business trips.
Wilmer was all smiles as well. He had received news from Benjamin earlier that afternoon that the evidence the children collected was enough to permanently ruin Cody and Larissa. The verdict will be out next week. Danny and Elfie were here to deliver news about their findings of Anastasia.
Danny smiled and congratulated the Wilde's. "I have a favour to ask."
Immediately, the joy and laughter melted into silence. The children looked at their teacher oddly. Jasper knew about Danny and Wilmer's special relationship but Scarlet and Alex were slower to catch on. Whatever favour Danny was asking for didn't feel like something a teacher and parent could easily talk about.
"I would be taking a short leave of absence from the school due to personal reasons and in that period of time, I would like to entrust my son, Elfie, in the care of your family."
Wilmer's warm expression grew cold at once. The jokes and laughter erased from his eyes. "It's about that, isn't it?"
Danny nodded. Orita didn't look pleased but her eyes softened when she saw Elfie tense up.
"You're going to be personally acting on it?" the CEO asked and Danny nodded again, not daring to meet his friend's eyes.
Wilmer's lips thinned into a line, his eyes hard. "Orita and I don't mind taking care of Elfie for you. However, I won't accept it if you don't intend to come back for him."
Elfie looked fragile at that moment and it was Alex who held the hacker's hands to comfort him. Scarlet didn't know what was going on either but she gave Elfie a small smile trying to reassure him that everything would be alright. The adults could be relied on and even if things didn't work out, Elfie still had them and a group of very reliable friends.
Danny bit the insides of his cheeks. "I'm not abandoning him, Wilmer. I didn't adopt Elfie with the intention of abandoning him. He is my son."
Orita decided that the tension was scaring the children a little too much and quickly diffused the tension by asking Jenna to bring out the alcohol to the study so the men could talk over it. At the same time, she expertly diverted the subject away from the serious discussion by asking the children how they met Elfie.
Everyone had good news to share and interesting stories to tell about their time spent together at school. When Scarlet told everyone that Debbie sent her manuscript to an agent who found a publishing house interested in contracting her book, Orita squealed like an excited schoolgirl and immediately placed the first order of five copies that she wanted Scarlet to sign.
"You need to start practising your signatures now," Alex joked and Scarlet blushed.
Elfie smiled. "What is the story about?"
The young writer launched into details about the inspiration she took and the hacker had a good laugh over some of the scenes Scarletdescribed. Scarlet's vivid imagination and good sense of humour had successfully woven the personalities of everyone in the E.C. Class into her book.
"I want to read that book, I really do. It sounds very interesting that you managed to capture everyone so accurately!" he praised.
Scarlet squirmed in her chair, embarrassed by the praises.
"That's it!" Alex declared. "I'm going to draw your first book into a comic!"
Jasper raised a brow. "Do you know how to draw digitally? I thought you were still trying to understand how paintbrushes work."
Orita laughed. "Oh, Jasper dear... there's no rush. Alex can slowly pick that up. We can employ some art teacher if she wants to speed up that process. Also, Wilmer might be planning on an internship rotation for the three of you."
That news got their attention and the heiress smiled. "Don't tell Daddy that I said this. However, Wilmer has been working hard to negotiate for the departments that would interest you most to accept you and teach you the trade. Alex will have plenty of opportunity in the future to get acquainted with digital brushes. Scarlet will have a lot of chances to learn different writing styles and the practicality of it. Jasper can discover the secrets to how money flows within an organisation."
All three children had their eyes lit up. Elfie watched them with envy. He didn't know what an internship was but it sounded fun. "Mrs Wilde, can I join them for the internship too if I'm going to be in the care of the Wilde Family for a while. I think my programming skills might come in handy. I'd also love to have a chance to study a network and create a network system set up on a large scale."
Orita looked at Jenna who bowed at the hacker. "We will do our best to make arrangements. I'm sure many of our software developers and engineers would be thrilled to meet the mastermind behind the most recent underground raids in person. We will inform Wilmer about your wishes."
Elfie was flattered. Not many people knew about his official job or talked about it apart from Danny. He knew that Danny and Wilmer were close friends but Wilmer had never once spoken about Elfie's accomplishments before.
"Underground raid?" Alex asked and Orita smiled.
"That's a secret between your daddy, mommy and Danny. Elfie is a very talented programmer and he sometimes helps adults who need his skills which is why he is often not in school. Elfie travels a lot to help others so he hardly has any time to make friends."
Alex put a finger to her lip to indicate that she understood this should not be so easily revealed to others outside of the family. Orita smiled at her daughter's simple-mindedness and gave the other two children a sideways glance. Jasper nodded slightly to indicate that he understood because his eyes were unreadable behind his hair. Scarlet met the heiress' look with her own full of acceptance but also curiosity.
Claire knew that look. There was no mistaking it. Her young mistress would definitely find a chance to catch Elfie and interrogate him for information. Who knows, this might be the content Scarlet needed for her new book.

Anger. Pain. Happiness and sorrow. Lev left them all behind as he faded into the void. What of his victory? Had all his hardships been for naught?

His dreams and enemies slowly slipped from his grasp as he was transmigrated into another body. He wanted to see the world change, but that opportunity was stolen from him — Or was it?

Shackled by slavery and cursed as a social outcast, Lev must claw his way up a new social ladder laden with abuse and destruction.

Max is a spin off story from Apex. Originally, I had the entire book posted here, but after publishing it, I will not be able to have the book available for free any longer. The purchasable version of Max will be edited and altered due to it being a second draft.

I have the first chapter posted for free here, but will include a link to amazon if you wish to purchase it on my blog. Leave a review and tell me what you think!

Max is a young Hunter. He trusts no one, except himself. He loves no one. He does not dare to allow himself to feel safe. Not when his enemies are still out there. Not when he knows that friends and family are illusions one uses to make oneself feel less alone. When he knows that family is so easily broken. 

He doesn't need any of it. Doesn't deserve it......

He was cut free from the binds of slavery in Jones' pack, but now...he has to find a way to survive on his own. Even, if he deserves to die, he'll go down fighting.

"I'd rather be a son-of-a-bitch than a victim, any day." -Max

This is a story about a werewolf named Max. Follow his story as he tries to navigate life through the city, where peril can lurk anywhere for someone without a pack.....
Max isn't the person who others are envious of his life. His life is hard and he loses just as much as he wins. He's strong, stronger than many others, but he's alone. He can't always compete against those that have the upper hand in numbers, unless those numbers are low. 
So, if you're looking for a book that had an over-powered character that is going to rack up the beauties and kick ass and take names, this is probably not the story for you.

I don't usually write novels for people to feel good reading, there is give and take. Happiness is met with lots of trials and lots of sadness and hardship.

Max made his first appearance in Tyler's series. This is a continuation of Max's story, though it's a few years after Tyler's took place. There are some things that are not explained in it, those things will be explained in Tyler's series' next volume.

"J-j-jungkook?" I said while looking at the man infront of me.

"Yes?"

"Are you really, Jeon Jungkook of BTS?" I asked nervously.

"Yes, I'm Jeon Jungkook the golden maknae of BTS. Do I know you?" because of what he said my heart broke into million pieces.

"Ahm..."

"Hey! Faith, let's go the bus may leave!" my bestfriend, Hailey said and then she grab my hand and run.

I did not even answer the question that Jungkook asked but when my bestfriend and I ran he seems to be shocked.

+++++++

I don't know if how I become a fan of BTS, but one thing for sure I'm just an elementary student when I started idolizing them. Oh, before this story start I just wanted you to know who am I.

Hello, my name is Alec Valerie Arceo, Ava for short. I live in the Philippines, while my idols live in South Korea. I'm a fan of BTS or Bangtan Sonyeondan/Behind The Scene/Bulletproof Boy Scout since I was 9 years old. I am the eldest child in my family, that's why sometimes if I want something it took me some time to have it. When I started idolizing some foreign celebrities and groups I started to study harder so that my parents would be amazed and also so that they would support as a fangirl.
Years had past my parents supported me as a fangirl, but because of the life that we had it is hard to reach my dreams, like seeing Bangtan, going to South Korea, and meeting them in person. My parents worked harder so that they could give us great life, and I could not do nothing but to study hard and help them on their light duties. I balanced studying and working, at our school I am an achiever.
Since I am an achiever on our school and many knew me because of my writing and editing skills, many had offer me to became an editor at their publishing corporation but I said "no" because I thought that If I accepted those offers I would not have enought time for myself.
But then one day, on a summer day a my dream publishing incorporation a famous book publishing incorporation contacted me and asked me if I could write stories for them. It took me days tl decide but yeah, as what they expected I said "yes".
Months had pass and I become an unknown successful author, some of my stories even won an awards. I even joined an application, a reading application that is famous all over the world to share my stories for free, because I knew that some of the readers does not have enought money to buy a book. And because some of them can afford to buy my books, the money that they paid to buy my books become my income and I don't that is enought to fulfill my dreams, and also my parents dream so I decide to be a vlogger also.
A vlogger is also being paid if the video that they make is good, and because of my editing skills it helped me also to have an extra income. I did not only made that because of money I also made that because I think it is the easiest way to be notice by my idols.

This WebNovel "A Gatekeeper and the Celestial Sovereign" is nearing the end of its first arc/book. To celebrate it I'm thinking of releasing it as a book (self publishing) on Lulu and Amazon. The book will include all 100 chapters and prologue of the first arc and even illustrations from talented artists that I'll commission to create some cool art for the book. The book will also be fully proofread and edited. 

Pa.treon subscribers (On my Pa.treon Writing Pilgrimage /Alexia J Barrett) P.atreon subscribers who are Awakening or Dao tier will get access to the illustrations early. Dao tier will also get a free copy of the book.

Tokyo, Japan.

            Home for many writers and literature. Aspiring writers go there dreaming of publishing their works in the place known for its blooming culture and love for novels.
I was one of these ambitious writers, I was good, really good. It wasn't until later that I found out, nothing comes for free.

Every fairytale we read says work hard and you will achieve your dream. But we keep forgetting, that in fairytales we know who is evil and who is good but in reality, evil wears masks that are difficult to be uncovered. 

My first book was one of the best sellers in japan, but I was betrayed by my publisher and editor. My book was published under the name of one of Tokyo's top five writers.
it wasn't until later that I found out that most of his novels were stolen and I wasn't the only case.

 I got angry and tried to tell the public about what happened. I was mocked, ridiculed and made into a laughing stock.

But put yourself in their shoe as they say in England, who you will believe a young writer just celebrating that he can legally drink beer or the man that his autograph is considered a national treasure.
The publishing company sued me for falsely accusing them of stealing the book. So I had only one option which is to SHUT UP AND TAKE THEIR MONEY. The following days followed the same routine wake up eat ramen, drink till wasted and sleep hoping not to wake up again.

One night after a heavy round of drinking I went to sleep. Instead of my room I found myself in an unfamiliar place. "This is definitely not my room, and not some place I know either" I thought sarcastically. It was a desert with no city in sight, all I could see were enormous triangular shaped buildings built with large stones in the distance and the sound of fighting and yelling. But no matter where I looked I couldn't find anyone.

"You're finally here" a sweet voice said from behind me "took you long enough".

"What do you mean you're finally here?" I yelled while turning around "and where the hell am I?"

"For now that doesn't matter, but if you really want to know then go search for the book" said a woman of about 20 year. She had long black hair and wore a necklace that looked like a knot in the shape of a man and a pair of rainbow colored wing on her back that gave her an aura that I had never felt before, it made me want to kneel and worship her.

"you have to find the book of Ani and decipher what it says, if you don't …" suddenly the sand erupted and a giant snake rose up, it was so big that it look like it can reach the sky, when he moved the earth start to shake. It kept rising, opening his mouth and showing his large fangs, his long thin tongue playing around so hard that one whip with his tongue can split the earth in two halves, his eyes seemed like a gate of hell that you can't dare look at it.
It kept opening his mouth until it covered the whole sun then in one bite it swallowed it.

Suddenly the world went dark and water gushed out from the earth turning it into a giant sea, "Finally, Ra is gone. And all those annoying pests will be no more "said the snake in a voice so powerful that it felt as if my heart was tearing apart.

I woke up, in cold sweat with my heart beating loudly. "it was only a dream" I thought, my body felt so heavy it was like I was shackled in the bed, it took me a long while till i got up. When I got up to wash my face I noticed a black tattoo on my forearm, it was in the shape of a man-like knot, similar in shape of the necklace of the woman in my dream. "Where did this mark come from?" I shouted. "That dream, it can't be real right?"

In the times where the tides are changing , where the gods are returning and the wars are close.

I , Matsuraki Ken shall prevent the war from starting , i will face the gods and prevent their beginings and endings.

I will find the book and collect the missing pieces and awaken the forgotten magic.
As they say Egypt was the start of civilization ,
it will also be the start of my path.
