Seki oniqyuki is a gardener that strives for perfection when it comes to gardening.

One day he wakes up in a place where he is not familiar with and he has a responsibility to save the 4 realms. Seki having no faith in himself must find some confidence but he's not alone he has 4 lovely woman beside him.

After my tour around the school with Nicole, I then went to the coffee shop near the dormitories. It was exactly 3:40 right now so I'm 10 minutes late for my appointment with Joseph. I went inside the coffee shop and saw him sitting on one of the window side table. I approached him and sat in front of him.
"Sorry I'm late."
"It's quite alright Ocho. Good to know to know that you actually came."
"I still have somewhere to go after this so..."
"Oh goodness, then I'll get straight to the point. You probably know now that joining a club is mandatory for the school. So have you joined one already?"
"No, not yet. I just transferred recently. In fact this is my first day."
"Really? Then marvelous! Would you like to join the Gardening club?"
'Did I just hear that correctly?' I thought to myself before I replied
"I'm sorry. Could you repeat that again?"
"I said, would you like to join the Gardening club?"
'What in the actual fuck?'
I didn't know how to react so I just stayed silent while I wait for Joseph to explain.
"I know it sounds ridiculous, but I want you to hear me out first. The school is based on a meritocratic system, so for a club to be established, it has to be either a club that could enter contests or competitions to bring merits to the school, such as the singers of Vocals club and the fighters of Combat sports clubs. Or it has to be an academic based club. Such as the Science and Chemistry club or the Journalism club."
Joseph paused to drink his coffee. I also called one of the waiters and ordered a frappe.
While he drinks his coffee I asked him
"What's that got to do with me joining the Gardening club?"
"Don't you find it all weird? The fact that the gardening club was approved by the school admins and was established? I mean think about it. Yes, gardening is an academic based club, but it's not part of the academic curriculum of the school. Like how the Chemistry club was easily established because the 1st years have weekly lessons about Chemistry that are taught by the teachers."
"So how did the Gardening club got approved and established?"
"That's the question I wanted to hear from you. Unlike all the other clubs, the Gardening club had a special condition for being approved."
He paused again and drank his coffee, he must be doing this on purpose to tickle my curiosity.
"The condition states that, the Gardening club is to accept a minimum of 5 requests from the other clubs every semester, or the Gardening club will be disbanded. The requests varies differently, it could be a substitution for one of the players of the basketball club, or to coach the Cheer dancers, to even the cruelest ones such as to Fight in the coliseum and represent a combat sports club."
"I get it now. You want me to join because you think that I could handle the requests from the music clubs. Isn't that right?"
"Precisely. Ah, but don't worry, your efforts won't be in vain. Every month the school pays us according to our performance that month. The more requests we completed the higher the salary. Members of the Gardening club would also be able to pass the whole semester, even with a failing grade or an incomplete one, if we are able to complete 20 requests before the semester ends. But be reminded that the difficulty of the requests are also taken in to consideration, so a request made by the Football club to fetch them a water will not be counted."
"I see. I understand now. But why did you choose me?"
"You see Ocho, even with the strict condition of the Gardening club, it's past members were still able to maintain its survival up until today. And the reason for that, is because it was not easy to enter the Gardening club. All members of the club must be at least above average on a certain field to meet the expectations of the request clients. And this year, we currently only have 4 members. But if there's one thing that won't change in the Gardening club members, then that is the fact that our line of work makes us celebrities of the school."
"You still haven't answered my question."
"Ah I'm getting to that. You see, the answer to that is simple. Because you're a genius."
"Why do you say that? And how can you be so certain?"
"Back at the station this morning, I observed each of your actions. And based on what I've seen, I learned that you don't know a damn thing about playing a piano. I'm guessing you know how to play other instruments such as guitar, but not a piano? Am I wrong, Ocho?"
"....No, you completely got it."
"Splendid. Now back on topic, after you memorized all the notes and the basics of playing the piano, you played confidently in front of many people. At first it was very rough, but you improved slowly while playing your own magnificent version of Fur Elise."
"Are you that confident about your observation skills?"
"I'm not confident of it, I trust it. Now tell me I'm right."
"No, you got it all correct again. I have one last question though."
I drank the last of my frappe and put it down before asking Joseph
"Why should I join your club?"
"Hahaha, pardon me I've been running my mouth without consideration of your feelings. Well to answer your question my friend, it's because no one will accept, an unknown transferee who just appeared out of nowhere half-way in the semester, in their club. Each club has it's own strict screenings so good luck finding a club that's as weird as us."
"You make it sound like I don't have a choice." I said and chuckled at him which made Joseph chuckle too. Then I continued
"I've decided then. I'll join the Gardening club. Pleased to make your acquaintance Joseph."
"Likewise. You won't regret this decision. I'll handle your formal procedures as a form of appreciation for you. I'll also introduce the other members of the club to you tomorrow."
"Sure. My name's Amaru Sta. Maria by the way, but you could just call me Ocho."
"And I'm Joseph Gregory Finner. Welcome to the club."
We stood up and shook each others hands. Then the weirdo suddenly hugged me and whimpered
"Ohh thank god! You actually joined! We didn't know what to do with the Instrumental Club's request! Oh thank you, thank you buddy!"
"Sure. But, could you please get off me now? We're starting to attract attention."
I really have to learn how to handle this kinds of people if I don't want to be a fugitive.
-------
After leaving the coffee shop and separating from the weirdo, It was already 5 pm, and I still have an hour before my first shift at the Oasis bar. So I decided to head to Lascar city and have dinner outside first before going to work.
After waiting for a little bit, a bus finally arrived. I boarded it and took a seat in the front, near the driver.
Half way towards Lascar city, all the passengers of the bus hopped off on a station. All except for the man in the very back. Now it's just me, the man in the back, and the driver.
My instincts did not fail me when I felt that something was very wrong. I sensed a very intense killing intent coming from the man in the back. Killing intent, not the typical bloodlust, so for the first time in awhile, I felt an unseen pressure on my shoulders. It was very heavy.
Then I heard the footsteps of the man who suddenly stood up and walked towards me. He then started talking
"You feel it right? Agent VII?"
I was stupefied by what I heard. I immediately went into full alert as I stood up and switched to my fighting stance.
"Who are you two?"
"Well Eduard is my driver and personal assistant, and as for me?....I'm the damn School Director of ICARUS."

The International Center for Artificial Resource Station, but most commonly known as ICARUS. A fully autonomous island nation inhabited by millions of different people from various backgrounds and nationalities. That includes politicians, actors, businessmen, thugs, mercenaries, convicts, students, etc. And this will be the place where our MC will be having his high school debut. Follow him on his mission and daily life at ICARUS and witness how one man can change an entire nation.

Author note: This novel will be based on first person POV from multiple characters. It is also filled to the brim with profanities and sensitive topics such as suicide, drugs, and racism, so if you're not a fan of heavy contents and is sensitive about his/her reading preferences, then I will not recommend my book. This is also my second time writing so I will try my best to live up to my readers expectations.

I do not own the cover photo. I found it on pinterest, so if owner wants me to change it please kindly message me.

"Alright, you can come in now," she announced coming out of the kitchen. She had arranged everything perfectly.  
Like 5 star Michelin chefs, she had arranged everything in small bowls on the kitchen island. But the man did not budge. He continued sitting there like a frozen statue.
Angela furrowed her brows, did he not listen to her. But she spoke loudly enough. She moved further close and then shook his shoulder,  
"Asbeel are you listening," she looked at him with furrowed brows,  
The man finally looked at her with lazy expressions, as if he was already bored with the discussion, which had yet not started.
But still, she asked patiently, "Asbeel why are you not replying." her voice was so soft and caring, for a second Asbeel decided to give up.
"I am listening," he replied shrugging his shoulders and then leaned on the sofa again lazily.
"Huh, then why are you not replying," she asked again, keeping her patience.
"Am I not?" he retorted and she bit her lip. Of course, he was replying but he was not doing what she wanted.
"I mean why are you not coming with me to the kitchen," she asked again, making her voice sweeter, and he wondered how was that even possible.
"Because I don't want to," he replied, trying his best to stay away from the honey trap.
"What, but why?"  she asked squatting in front of him so that she could see into his eyes.
"I am not made to work in the kitchen, little angel, and how could it be related to love?" he asked, amazed.
No matter how much he tried he just could not follow her train of thoughts. From playing games to cooking, he didn't find a single thing related to love and boyfriend, his rides are getting more and more strange day by day.
  He closed his eyes as if trying to understand how her brain worked but he failed. It was as if his brain was throwing out error messages at him when he tried.
"Angela why do we need to cook together to develop love?" he finally asked, since his mind had no valid reason for that.
Angela blinked and then smiled brightly, "because working together developed coordination. And we can also enjoy the process of making something together." she explained patiently as if teaching a child the importance of eating broccoli.
"If it's about making something together, I know another interesting process of making something together, which I would enjoy far much better than this," he suggested with a devilish sexier smirk.
"And what is that?" she asked intrigued, she wanted to know if there was something which Asbeel liked and they could do it together.
If that's the case, she had no problem in changing the task, was it gardening or handicraft. Her mind imagined Asbeel planting trees or doing pottery. Covered with mud and sweat, doing these things and then wiping his forehead with his hands making it dirtier in the process and then her laughing and using her handkerchief to clean his forehead and then giving him a chaste kiss there.
Her face shone brightly as she continued daydreaming with open eyes.
Asbeel looked at her wondering what she was thinking about, which made her smile like a fool.
  "What are you thinking?" he asked curiously.
"Do you by chance want to do gardening instead?"
His brows furrowed. How did they reach the conclusion that he wanted to do gardening? Had he said something like that? He gave a quick over to all the things he said to her, but no he did not find anything that was related to it.
"Why?" he asked her rather than pressuring his brain more. This little angel did not think normally anyway.
"Because you said you have other interesting ideas of creating something, and I can not imagine you doing pottery with this suit you are wearing," she replied laughing again as if there was some internal joke hidden in the whole conversation which she was enjoying secretly.
"You can not imagine me doing pottery, but you can imagine me doing gardening and cooking," he asked, amazed, not in his whole life had he ever flown this stunned before.  
She was like a lost pandora box, everything that came out of her mouth had a strange vibe in it. No matter how much you try, you could not understand her train of thoughts, so better stop trying.
She nodded, "of course you will look very sweet doing gardening with me. So wait here, I will arrange gardening tools now." she replied again smiling enchantingly, her eyes sparkling more than stars.
He rubbed his forehead, as the headache forming there. She would not leave him until he did her bidding, he compared all the pros and cons and held her hand, before she ran out to do preparation for gardening.
He can only do graves, not flower beds. So rather cook something than this. There he could stand silently touching things here and there and let her do the rest of the work.
With that thought, he stopped her. She looked back at him tilting her head and furrowing her brows.
"Is there something I forgot about?" she asked, fluttering her eyes.
He nodded, "you forgot the most essential thing, little angel"  he added and she moved and sat back looking curiously at him. When he did not speak further she asked
"What is that?" her eyes were settled on his face waiting for his reply.
"My acceptance," he added the obvious and the crease on her forehead increased.
"But you accepted when I asked," she added, not ready to back down now.
"Yes, I did." through your hypnotic eyes, he added in his heart.  
"Then"
"But it was for cooking not gardening," he added and she gaped.
"Didn't you deny later, you said you had better things to create than that."
He smirked and shook his head, "no, I said, I know a better process for adults. Though it's result will be too troublesome." He replied with a mischievous chuckle.

Excerpt-
"Abigail"  A gut wrenching cry shook heaven and earth. 
An angel was flying towards heaven.
His blood shot eyes have so much grief that even angel bowed his head. But the creator was standing there unperturbed.
"Why Father, why did you kill Abigail." He asked with so much remorse that blood started seeping out of his eyes. 
"You were a watcher, yet you led astray the whole Grigori of watchers by falling for the daughters of men. "
God asked back, the voice was calm and collected but the swirling storm behind him is a clear indication of his anger towards his own creation.
"But I love her father." He begged, pleaded for the life of his lover whose eyes has turned hollow. Those eyes who had kept him spellbound. More blood fell from his eyes.
"An angel can't love a human, it's forbidden and you know that." His father rebuked. He was annoyed at the folly of his child.
"But we all are your child father, if you want to punish, then punish me. Let her live." If one has to go, then let him be the one. He hugged the soulless body as if he wants to be one with her.
His father smirked, "you, my child, has got the worse retribution for your sin"
He looked at his father, uncertain what other things he had planned.
"She died an easy death, but you, you will live alone an immortal life feeling the pain to be the reason for your beloved dead." The creator explained his innocent child.
"Just because she is a human," he asked the obvious can't believe that God can be so cruel to his own creations.
"Then let him be the angel." He declared.
Growing his nails, he stabbed himself without an ounce of hesitation. His hand encompasses bright light energy and inflict it in his lover's body.
The soulless body took a deep breath and her cheeks turned rosy again, the lifeless eyes fluttered and he smiled. 
He caressed her cheeks and took her fallen strand of hair in his hand, putting it back behind her ears.
He looked at the stunned face of his father and smiled. Just then he fell from heaven, losing all the energy his body had, and died.
  But the good was beyond control. His creation has disgraced his gift. But he can't take the power the fallen angel has gifted to his beloved.
"Throw her back to earth before she wakes up. She would never be accepted as angel here." With that he vanished in the air.
After 100 centuries.

Zhao Yu immediately began imagining how he would use the Invisible Accelerator. He felt that it would either be when he was chasing after criminals or when he was racing cars. He never would have guessed that he would use it on a gardening truck that day!
After the vehicles collided, the gardening truck didn't have much damage, having only received minor scratches. The driver, however, was terrified.
Ever since he started driving a gardening truck, he had never driven over thirty kilometers per hour. But, he felt like he was sitting in a rocket earlier, when he had been hit by the van. At that moment, everything felt surreal.
He quickly got out of the car to check on the van that he had just hit. Unexpectedly, a blue Volkswagen Phaeton flew over and blocked in between the gardening truck and the van. Then, there was a man that got out of his car and went over to the van swiftly.
The driver of the gardening truck thought it was a kind person that was in a hurry to rescue the victim. But, just when he pull out the driver from driver's seat, the driver immediately gave him a tight slap!
The driver of the van was a middle-aged man, who was wearing sunglasses. When the man gave him another slap, the frames flew a dozen meters away. The man that had slapped the driver was naturally Zhao Yu!
"Motherf*cker, how dare you hit me! Hit-and-runner!" Zhao Yu gave the person another two punches, his face becoming distorted from the severe beating.
"Woo… Woo… Don't… Don't hit me anymore!" The van driver was wailing in pain and knelt on the floor to beg for mercy.
"Ah… Mm…"
Just then, another person climbed out from the passenger seat. That person was already bleeding from the car collision. After taking a few steps, he tripped and fell on the ground.
Zhao Yu immediately dragged him up by his collar and pulled the other van driver over. He then stepped on the back of the passenger's head and planted his face on the ground.
"You didn't even look at whose car you hit!" Zhao Yu took out his handcuffs and handcuffed the two guys together.
"You… You…" The gardening truck driver was shocked and began mumbling incoherently. He suddenly saw that Zhao Yu had taken out his handcuffs, so he was confused as to what to do.
"What are you looking at?" Zhao Yu shouted at him, "Call the police!"
"Call the police? But… I was the one that hit them…" the gardening truck driver stuttered, then asked, "Why did you lock them up?"
Knock knock knock…
The driver had just spoken, when they suddenly heard a knocking sound coming from the van. It was obvious that there was someone inside!
Great, there's more of you?!
Zhao Yu had yet to vent all of his anger! He quickly came to the back door of the van and pulled it open. Zhao Yu was prepared to launch an attack, but as he opened the door, he came face-to-face with a naked person, who ran out and quickly!
Zhao Yu was dumbfounded by such a strange sight!
What the heck is going on?
He saw that the person who had staggered out from the van was a naked woman, whose arms and legs were tied up. She also had a rope around her neck!
The woman had bruises all over her, which he assumed were due to the accident. She had long black hair that hung low. Not only did her hair cover her face, but it also covered her chest slightly.
Zhao Yu had yet to respond, when there was another naked man that came out of the vehicle, wriggling like a worm. The man also had his arms and legs tied up and a rope around his neck. He also had tape on his mouth and looked extremely awkward.
Suddenly, looking at this naked person wriggling on the ground, Zhao Yu and the onlookers were all dumbstruck. The onlookers then began to take out their phones and take photos!
Looking at the flickering flashes, the woman was embarrassed. She retreated into the van carriage again. However, the man continued to walk forward. As the woman walked backwards, she was accidentally tripped by the man, causing her to fall on top of him!
Then, the two of them looked even more lawkward. The entire situation was extremely embarrassing!
Looking in disgust at the onlookers with their phones, Zhao Yu really wanted to shout at them.
These people really have no shame!
Then, Zhao Yu took out his phone and immediately opened the video recording function! In order to film everything that was happening clearly, he even turned on its flashlight function…
Finally, the naked man climbed lifted his head, then shouted with sweat and tears streaming down his cheeks, "Woo… Woo…"
Then, the woman, who seemed to somehow have gotten rid of the tape on her mouth, screamed for help, "Help… Help… Help! Someone's trying to kill me!"
Listening to the woman screaming for help, Zhao Yu looked at the two of them. Although the incident seemed fishy and strange, Zhao Yu, who used to be a gangster, could roughly figure out some clues.
He felt that the scene before him shouldn't be strictly considered a kidnapping. It was more like he had caught an act of adultery taking place.
Although the woman looked like she was a mess, her skin was smooth and her body was flushed with heat. This led him to believe that she was most likely a prominent figure's wife or mistress.
It was highly likely that the naked man was having a love affair with his boss' woman and had been found out. Hence, he had been tied up.
Taking the hypothesis further, Zhao Yu felt that the reason why the van was being driven in such a hurry was that the two underlings were rushing to answer to their boss' commands. This meant that their boss was most likely someone very powerful!
However, Zhao Yu wouldn't be bothered with such things at the moment. Instead, he quickly went forward, extending his hand to help the woman stand up. He then said, "Miss, don't be afraid! I'm here to save you! Hurry up! Let me untie you!"
Then, he decided that he didn't care if the woman was willing or not, as he extended both his hands to take advantage of the chance to grope her a bit.
Zhao Yu was such a sly character that, as he moved to grope the woman a bit, he found an excuse, saying, "Who the heck tied this rope? How can it be so tight? I can't untie it! Hold on, let me see if the knot was tied at your chest here…"
"Woo… Woo…" Uttering moans, groans, and whimpers, the man by his feet was definitely in a hurry. Looking at him, Zhao Yu felt that the man wanted Zhao Yu to untie him first.
Then, the gardening truck driver came to join the crowd. He asked Zhao Yu, "Mister, do you need my help?"
"Don't move!" Zhao Yu shouted, "I am a police officer! This man's identity is unknown, so we can't just untie him yet! Please hurry and bring some clothes over!"
After hearing this, the gardening truck driver turned around and left, wondering to himself why it was okay for Zhao Yu to untie the woman, but not the man…
Zhao Yu immediately turned back around to continue "untying" the woman. But, just as he had almost untied the rope completely, he saw that the van driver and his handcuffed passenger had fled!
Who knew that the two would recover so quickly?!
If they were to run away, no one would pay for the damage to Zhao Yu's car. So, Zhao Yu quickly let go of the woman and chased after them.
At that moment, he suddenly saw another white van drive over from the other side of the road. The van stopped before Zhao Yu and the door swung open, revealing six brawny, armed men, who exited the van in a hurry!
The van driver, who had been beaten and his face distorted earlier, saw that his comrades had arrived, so he quickly turned around and pointed at Zhao Yu, shouting, "Quick! This person hit me! Hurry up and take care of him!"


A little ruffian who fought recklessly without any morals and bottomline accidentally time-traveled to parallel space and became a Key Case Investigation Team agent. The huge change in identity had him creating chaos in the police station. However, a strange miracle system helped him repeatedly solve mysterious cases, turning him into an impudent ruffian detective!

"Uhh, Princess Anastasia, what are you doing?" Maid Helena asked in a shy voice.
"What? I'm just going to start gardening."
Anastasia cheerfully answered when she was wearing clothes that were too big for her size, the garden clothes were borrowed from Mr. Smith, odeviel's occupational gardener.
Because the clothes in Anastasia's wardrobe only contain fancy dresses, and are troublesome to use in gardening, and choose to borrow Mr.'s garden clothes. Smith yesterday. Anastasia didn't think about other people's views of the strange clothes she wore for a Royal Princess.
From now on, Anastasia will be making her own garden in the corner of the large garden of the Odeviel Royal Castle.
"Well, uhh, I thought Princess Anastasia was going to do training with Remy to increase magic power, why is Princess Anastasia making a garden?" Helena is worried about what Anastasia is going to do. Anastasia's action this time is beyond the mind of a royal princess, who should be a royal princess is graceful and pay attention to the appearance in front of everyone. Helena made a doubtful face.
"I only plant and care for plants to increase my magic power!" Anastasia clenched her fists with a smile in front of Helena.
"Princess Anastasia, I'm so sorry, I'm afraid I don't understand ..."
For Helena who was already making a doubtful face, after hearing the answer from the cheerful Anastasia, Helena started making a more dubious face.
"Well, uh, that's a person I respect, saying that. He told me that to increase magic power first of all, interacting with the magic core itself is important. So, the source of my magic is probably wind! So, to interact with the wind, I should have planted a garden so I could get closer to the wind! "
Gratefully remembering the teachings of her mother in her previous life, Anastasia decided today to make a garden to better interact with the wind.
Helena, who is worried about Anastasia's actions, goes with Anastasia to the garden in the corner of the large garden of the Odeviel Royal Castle.
Before starting gardening, Anastasia first checked the vacant lot with Mr. Smith to see if that's okay.
"Gee, did you do this Mr. Smith?" The vacant lot that Anastasia saw yesterday was full of weeds and uneven ground conditions, now the soil is flat and clean and a hedge of 1.2 meters or 4 feet has been made.
The vacant lot size is not too big, because Anastasia has just started her plantation, with a vacant lot measuring 5 x 6 meters is big enough for Anastasia's first plantation. Or even the vacant lot is too big for Anastasia who doesn't know how to plant.
Anastasia asked Mr. Smith to make 3 suits of garden clothes the size of her body. Because the clothes Anastasia wore were uncomfortable and made it difficult for her to walk.
Before starting gardening, Anastasia borrowed a small hoe from Mr. Smith. And Mr. Smith also prepared some equipment for Anastasia's gardening needs.
Because the weather is quite hot, Anastasia uses a cloth covering on her head to reduce the sun burning her hair.
Mr. Smith is a middle-aged man who has dedicated his life as an odeviel royal gardener for quite some time. Luckily, Anastasia can be taught by Mr. Smith how to plant.
But because Anastasia planted her own garden without her parents' permission, she asked Mr. Smith not to talk about herself making her own garden in the corner of the royal courtyard to her father and mother.
Anastasia also asked Mr. Smith to let her take care of her own garden. And prevent anyone other than herself from coming to her garden without her permission.
After being taught the stages how to plant, Mr. Smith wrote how to grow plants on paper and gave it to Anastasia. Even though Anastasia didn't ask Mr. Smith, but Anastasia thanks Mr. Smith.
Before leaving, Mr. Smith took a small pouch and gave it to Anastasia, the small pouch containing the rest of the Cecilia plant seeds by Mr. Smith, not too much seed in that small pouch. But according to Mr. Smith, that's enough for Anastasia's vancant lot. So, Anastasia must carefully calculate the distance between the seedlings.
Cecilia plants are widely grown in the courtyard of the royal castle odeviel. Plants with white flowers and 6 petals that grow in warm climates and must be exposed to sunlight, Cecilia plants will bloom about 2 – 3 weeks after planting the seeds.
Anastasia who was ready, and started her first gardening, 'If I'm not mistaken, first I have to calculate the 45 cm distance between each seed and mark it on the ground.' Anastasia read the planting procedure that has been taught by Mr. Smith.
'Next is, loosening the ground?' Even though Anastasia knows the meaning of tilling the land, Anastasia still doesn't know what to do with the soil because she has never done it.
Anastasia stood up and approached Helena who was standing behind Anastasia with grace. Anastasia shows the notes Mr. Smith to Helena. And ask what is meant by loosening the ground.
Helena took the note from Anastasia's hand and reread its contents. "Oh, loosening the ground." Helena made a tone that she knew what it meant to loosen the ground.
Helena returned the note in her hand and gave it back to Anastasia. And Helena walked to the items Mr. Smith for Anastasia.
Helena picked up a small sack labeled 'Fertilizer'. "We need this to loosen the ground, princess."

This is my first book ever written. Apologize for the bad writing. I am slowly editing it but it takes time. Once you get to the next chapter, the quality gets much better.

The two of them chatted about their new plan. Both of them took turns adding new ideas, all in a small bathroom cell. They were both excited about the near future, about stardom! Before long, the first bell rang echoing through the hallways and into the bathroom. At the first strike, Avina lifted her head and gasped. She skidded across the floor and slammed the doors open. Out she came tunneling into the hallways and she ran!
One hand held her phone, the other her bag, and both her feet were flying across the hallway. Placing her phone in her pocket, Avina started to rub both of her eyes fiercely.
Sad Wilona! She was Sad Wilona! Who cried in the bathroom and has red puffy eyes! Think about sad stuff! Like puppies left in boxes! Or cats who don't have 9 lives! Tear ducts start making tears!! Hurry!
At the sight of the classroom door, Avina slid it open slamming the door to the side. Everyone inside turned their heads looking at Wilona. The teacher inside taking attendance looked up startled before anger took over his face.
"Where were you Miss Wilona!" his voice thundered and slapped his book down. Fury ran in his veins and his voice shouted in the classroom. 
"Late! You are late!"
Wilona looked nervous whilst panting. Her eyes were red and her chest heaved with heavy breathes. Her hand rested against the door as the other swayed by her side.
"Sorry," she could only give her apologies in an exhausted voice before heading to her seat.
Each of her steps was slow and heavy and her back hunched over. No one could see her expression, but if it was anything as they saw before, they knew it was full of shame and sadness. Shame for being late and scolded and sadness for who knows what.
The teacher was guilty upon noticing the ragged form, but coughed and chose to ignore it. Waiting till Wilona took her seat, he then restarted attendance. Every name was called out and answered with a clear "Here". Upon reaching Wilona's name, the teacher glanced at Wilona before clearing his voice and saying it. Of course, Wilona answered but there was a hint of tiredness in her voice.
As rumors come and go, new rumors spread of Wilona's next case of blues. From morning till evening, everyone was whispering and laughing hidden by only their hands and the walls. Avina chose to ignore every last one of them, but couldn't against her new friends.
Every hour, a new text would pop up on her phone, and she secretly had 5025 answer back to each of them. It was only at lunch break when Avina could breathe a sigh of relief. Finally, a small break.
Avina enjoyed her meal and finished it with gusto. The comfort of a full belly was relieving in a way. In the end, she patted her bulging tummy with a look of content. As she got up with her plate and a smile, a hand patted her shoulders.
Avina looked up expecting another bully, but it was a teacher. She greeted him, before hearing him say she was expected at the office. Avina was puzzled but quickly headed out.
"Set a monitor at the office. I want to know what's going on," Avina immediately thought it was Adi's funny monkey business. Wilona never got in trouble and neither did Avina; the only choice left was Adi.
A small monitor popped up from her right, and she stared at it as she walked to the office. Walking as slow as she could manage, Avina reached there in 5 minutes. Knocking on the door, she opened it carefully and peered inside.
From the monitors, she already knew it was her homeroom teacher and another teacher. Her homeroom teacher was holding onto papers flipping them and showing them to the other one. Nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary, but Adi was a viper. Sneak attacks were her best attacks. No matter what, she had to be on her guard.
Her head peered in and soon her teacher noticed her. He waved for her to come closer before introducing the teacher next to him.
"This is Mr. Greene," he pointed at the tall man, "He wants to know if you would be interested in the Gardening Club."
Avina looked over at Mr. Greene. He was a tall, lean man who stood with his back straight and hands behind. On his mouth hung a small kind smile and his eyes curved for what seemed to be forever. In conclusion, he was a kind-looking man, but she felt he was a clever fox. A person who hid their motives behind a smile.
Wilona looked puzzled at her teacher. What does this mean? Why was he looking for her to be in his club? She had no experience in gardening!
Of course, her homeroom teacher knew what was going inside her head, but how was he supposed to know the answer. Mr. Greene just popped in his class during break and requested to have Wilona be in his club. Mr. Greene said it was all for the development of Wilona and because of her green thumb, but who would believe that hoax of a lie!
But was there a reason for him to refuse? No. Wilona was one of the students who weren't in a club, and it does wonders for a teacher report to say that you managed to have a student in a club. School interaction, the thing that increases changes of pay raise! So, instead, he left the refusing to Wilona. If she didn't refuse, then gardening it was! If she did, he could only shrug at Mr. Greene. Not my fault your club is a little boring!
For the next 5 minutes, he worked to persuade Wilona for the betterment of her school life (and his, but that's a secret). Club life is great! It's nice to have a hobby! Make new friends! Gardening is very good! Grow your own vegetables!
Mr. Greene was watching with smiling eyes. It was entertaining to see such fun. Upon realizing the teacher was running out of ideas, he placed his own comment.
"And I can help you obtain excused absences for your show."
Avina's face changed at his words before returning to normal. No one noticed her changes, but her mind was racing. She was flustered, but couldn't reveal a thing.
The teacher looked puzzled at Mr. Greene. He did not mention a show or excused absences or whatnot when he asked for Wilona. What was going on here? How did Mr. Greene know about Wilona's show?
Although it wasn't explicitly stated, the school advised students to focus solely on education and to forget activities that may hinder it. That means, if there is an activity hindering a student's growth, the school has some rights to stop said activity. Of course, this has only happened a few times during the school's history because it was impossible for the school to know everything. But showbiz, that was a grey area; Avina didn't know if the school would step in or not.
No one other than Adi and her friends knew, but if word got out, she didn't know what to do! A few steps to stardom would be ruined just like that if the school stepped in!
"But Mr. Greene, I don't know how to garden," Wilona began. Her fingers twisted unsure of what to say. What kind of reason was there to ask her to join? What kind of excuse can she make to not join...
"Then you can learn."
"I can't pay to join," Avina said. Wilona has limited money, a good excuse. Plus, there was no way her pretty hands were touching dirt. Fight a man, sure, but gardening? Avina is not ashamed to say she's got no talent there.
"No need for money," his smiling eyes stared at her anxious ones. "It's okay, just help at the greenhouse."
"I'm a little busy." At this point, Avina was running out of ideas. She didn't want to garden, but at the same time, excused absences were tempting. But Mr. Greene did not seem like the person to help without benefits; Avina didn't know what his plan was. She didn't know what to do.
"Then you can come in your free time," Mr. Greene smiled again. He wasn't backing down either. He came this far; what was the point in backing down now.
Avina stared at Mr. Greene's smiling fox face. She didn't understand why he was so adamant about having Wilona join the Gardening Club. Wilona never had the hobby of gardening nor mentioned it once. Even in her memories, Mr. Greene was not mentioned either.
She looked at Mr. Greene and then at her own teacher. Mr. Greene had a hint of eagerness in his eyes and there was a victorious smile lining his face. He was sure Wilona would join. Her own teacher was puzzled but hardly cared half a thought. In his mind, the paycheck was all that needed his attention. Thinking of all the hassle there would be if word got out, she could only resign in defeat.
It's just gardening. Pretty flowers pretty plants, feed them water and they grow! Can't be that difficult, right? At the very least, she can just not do anything. Mr. Greene said it himself, she can come in her free time. When was this free time? How would he know!

| WPC #153 World of Villains Gold Tier |
How great is it to actually get a system and transmigrate to different worlds? But how unlucky is it to transmigrate only into villainesses...

Avina is a good girl with good grades, good looks, and good friends. Only thing is that she has princess syndrome. And now faced with an unfortunate, unwanted, undesirable death, she has a system and has to transmigrate into different worlds in order to live once more!

Hmph! This Princess is so good looking and beautiful! I have no reason to waste my precious hands to push a peasant!
I am so beautiful and talented, how can I hang on one tree! It’s not him who doesn’t need me, but ME who doesn’t need HIM!

System: Host, shouldn’t you flatter the target and gain good will?
Avina: It is beneath me to flatter a hooligan. Hmph!

[SCHEDULE]: the author dares not to set expectations ;-;, Author Intro./Diary has more info

The school day wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. 9-3 is great and 3-5 is the time was for sports, clubs, and a time where students can get help from their teachers.
I stayed behind to look at the clubs being offered. I came at a great time, it was time to pick clubs and sports. Honey and I split up and agreed to meet up at the school's entrance.
I looked around and saw all types of clubs there was a lot that caught my attention but there was one that really caught my eye. It was a gardening club. The club leader was a guy and I walk over.
I'm surprised a lot of guys think gardening is girly so they don't do it, here this guy is leading a gardening club!
"Hi! This is the Gardening Club sign-up booth. We plan nature-themed events and plant flowers and grow fruits and vegetables for the school. Would you like to join?" He has dark brown-reddish wavy messy hair, chartreuse green eyes with a little mole under his left eye. He wore a white button-up shirt with two buttons undone with a green sweater and black pants. He reminds me of my friend Rosie from elementary school.
"That sounds lovely! I'll join you!" I said taking the pen from him, softly brushing my hand against his.
"Thank you! I can't wait to work with you Asteria... Asteria? Aren't you the girl that told off Dai earlier today?"
"I guess word travels fast around here, but sadly yes."
"Just be careful Dai doesn't like to be disrespected. Last person to disrespect him vanished into thin air. I'm sorry I shouldn't be scaring you, let me properly introduce myself. My name's Rodas Quinn." Sticking his hand out to shake. He even has the same last name as Rosie. Maybe they're related?
"Asteria Iris Graybell pleased to meet you, " taking his hand and shaking it. For a moment I felt a surge of electricity surge through me. It felt weird, but it felt good. I smiled and pulled my hand away waving Rodas goodbye as I looked for another club. I spotted an Occult Club and I head over there.
After speaking with the club leader I reach for the pen when a pale hand also reached for it. It belonged to Powered Doughnut.
Just my damn luck.
"You can go first Powdered Doughnut." Offering him the pen with a sickly sweet smile.
"Nah you grabbed it first. Go ahead Tsubaki." Ignoring the name I quickly signed my name and handed him the pen. I turned around but he stopped me.
"I would never expect to see someone like you joining a club like this one Tsubaki."
"That's because you don't know me and stop calling me Tsubaki. My name is Asteria."
"Whatever Tsubaki. I'll see you later!" Dai called out from the crowd of other high schoolers.
Goddess, he is annoying.
Shaking it off I look around to see if there were other clubs I would join. I found an astronomy club that would go out together during the nighttime and taking pictures or drawing of the stars that appeared in the sky we would be also talking about the myths and truths of each constellation.
I didn't want to get too swamped with clubs and schoolwork so three clubs were enough and I headed to the front of the school where Honey was standing with Ezra.
"Hey, guys!"
"Hey, beautiful!"
"Hey, Asteria! What clubs did you pick if you choose any?"
"Oh, yea I choose three: Gardening, Occult, and Astronomy." I excitedly said.
"Occult? That's an interesting choice beautiful. But who am I to judge?" Ezra stated shrugging.
"Thank you. What did you guys choose?"
"I choose Photography and Astronomy for clubs and I'm joining the soccer team, how about you Ezra?"
"I choose Gardening and Art for clubs and sports I'm stuck between soccer and volleyball," Ezra spoke then turned to me, "You don't like sports or you just don't want to play?"
"Oh no I love sports especially soccer, tennis, and basketball, but I figured I would get used to my schedule and such, so I didnt want to get super swamped with my responsibilities."
"Understandable but the school work is super easy we don't any homework. Everything's done at school. So you have enough time to do things outside of school without getting stressed out."
I shrugged again, "If the girl's soccer team ever needs some extra help or a substitute. I'm down to play for them."
"You're so sweet, beautiful. I can send you the team's schedule when it's posted so you know when and where they'll be if they need you. The only problem is I don't have your number on my phone."
"Oh, yes. I was going to ask you both for your numbers before leaving school today. Here, put yalls numbers in and I'll text you later when I get home." Both guys nodded and took turns putting their numbers in.
"If you don't think it's weird or anything. Would you mind if we walked you home? We could talk on the way there and it would be much safer too. We wouldn't want our new friend to get hurt." Honey said, but his and Ezra's eyes seemed to darken at the words spoken. I ignored it thinking it was the lighting and nodded.
"Sure! I don't mind. The more time we spend together is fine with me. Come on!" I gleefully said after receiving my phone from Honey.
The three of us walked through the doors of the school and we talked. They asked me questions about my first day of school and how I liked it. They also asked some interesting questions like my favorite flower, my favorite smell, and some other interesting questions but I brushed it off as them trying to know me better. It's better than asking me what my favorite color was, or some other basic questions that just leads to an awkward silence.
These guys clearly knew how to keep someone engaged and focused. I was so focused on them when I realized that I passed my house by two houses going on three. "Guys we passed my house. We have to turn back. Sorry I got so caught in talking I hadn't noticed."
"It's fine beautiful. I know it happens to the best of us. Is it this one?"
"Yea. Thank you guys so much. You didn't have to be this nice to me, but you are, so Thank you for making my first day great and walking me home. I'll see you both tomorrow. I'll text you both when I'm done with chores. I promise. Bye!" I yelled as I entered my house watching Ezra and Honey waving as I entered my home.

A story about four guys pinning after a childhood friend that has moved back home to Sunny Hill. Some things change, some things stay the same snd their love for her has only intensified. They’ll do anything for her to make sure that she belongs to them. Even if she doesn’t realize it.

Being unable to sleep properly after the nightmare, Jinjing woke up with a rather sluggish mood.

Unlike any other Sunday, where the Lee family would have their breakfast together, sharing the events for the past week and the agendas of the next one, today Jinjing was the last to have breakfast. Since her parents were aware that she returned late last night, they did not object to it.

After breakfast, Jinjing spent some time in her room tidying up her closet. When she was done she realized her cell phone was dead. She quickly put it to charge. Before the phone could power up, Mama Lee called for her "Jinjing hun come here, I need your help."

Leaving her room immediately, Jinjing head towards the garden from where she could hear her mother call her.

"hun my hands are a complete mess, can please hold the flower pot for me." Obliging, Jinjing put on her gardening gloves and began helping her mother.

Mama Lee loved gardening. Being a famous doctor, her schedule was very hectic. With gardening, she could unwind and relax. Jinjing inherited her love for gardening from her mother. The mother daughter duo spent the next 2 hours planting, talking and beautifying the garden.

Papa Lee who was sitting in the garden sipping tea, felt peaceful looking at the two having a good time.

He proposed making dumplings together.

Even though dumplings are a regular food item, the process of making them is pretty lengthy. From kneading the dough to making different fillings to shaping the dumplings, it was time consuming. But when all the members come together to make the dumplings, it becomes a joyous task.

The two ladies of the house agreed immediately. Cleaning up the mess in the garden and tidying themselves, they headed to the kitchen.

The Lee residence kitchen was filled with loud laughter and bantering. There was flour not only on the work station but also on the floor and some flour could also be found on Jinjing and papa Lee's hair and shoulders.

Another couple of hours went by, laughing, joking, cooking and cleaning. Jinjing suggested "Ma! I will cook the remaining lunch." To this papa and mama Lee left the kitchen.

Since they had a late breakfast, they were not in a hurry to have lunch. By 2 p.m the lunch was ready. Jinjing quickly took a shower and headed back to the dining room. It was Papa Lee's duty to set the table.

Tired with all the activities since morning, Jinjing headed to her room after lunch. Her sight fell on her phone which should have been charged by now. When she pressed to check, she realized that she had forgotten to power on the charger. "arrggghhh!!! Stupid, stupid Jinjing." She berated herself.

Switching the power on, she lied on her bed waiting for the phone to start up. But the lack of sleep the previous night took toll on her and she fell asleep holding her phone in her hand.

She woke up only when it had turned dark outside. She stretched and check the wall clock for time. It was past 6 already. She yawned and stepped in to the bathroom to freshen up. The irregular sleep timings gave her a headache.

Oblivious to her phone she headed to the kitchen to make herself a refreshing cup of coffee.

In short Liang could not reach her the entire day. When she finally tried calling him at around 9 p.m. his phone was switched off.

This story revolves around a polite, kind and loving 18 year old girl named Lee Jinjing and a 20 year old Sheng Liang

Jinjing is born in a fairly rich household to loving parents. An only child, even then she is well raised and disciplined. Puts family first. Good at everything she does. She is a father’s girl.

"It's alright, I've added something to soothe your throat," said one Lu Sheng with a smile.
"This is a once in a lifetime chance! It's not easy to find a weak lesser god that's easy to catch," Lu Sheng's main body said while he shook his head.
"Alright, that's enough. Get ready, everyone."
The Lu Shengs gathered around the giant crane Qianshen. They fixed their eyes on the Sacrifice God Nation above them.
Although the god nation was close to the main plane, it was still located within the void. It was merely connected to a slit in the main plane's dimension.
The gang had been ready for some time. Suddenly, the god nation above them, which resembled a chicken egg, gave a slight shake.
"It's coming!"
The giant crane Qianshen quickly opened its mouth wide while adjusting its own position. It stared at the Sacrifice God Nation that was starting to move.
"Bzzt…"
A faint buzzing sound came from above their heads.
The platinum-colored Sacrifice God Nation turned slowly. Then, like a falling comet, it dropped down slowly.
"Puh!"
With a loud thud, the god nation dropped into the giant crane Qianshen's mouth.
The powerful tugging force and impact force crashed into Qianshen's body.
Qianshen flapped its wings in a frenzy. It put all its strength behind them as it tried to stay afloat. The other Lu Shengs pitched in as well.
Thick arcane art ropes supported Qianshen from all directions. All of the Lu Shengs exerted force at the same time as they pulled the giant crane upward.
"Almost there! It's almost in!" Lu Sheng's main body shouted.
A few Lu Shengs moved in and gave the god nation a kick. They attempted to force it down Qianshen's throat.
After an unknown period of time.
"Gulp!"
With a crisp sound, the god nation was swallowed whole into Qianshen's stomach.
Qianshen burped. The Lu Shengs around it swiftly merged with the main body. Lu Sheng became one again.
"I need time to digest this. I'll need around three days. However, anything that's entered my stomach won't be able to send any waves out," Qianshen explained.
"Alright. Leave the rest to me." Lu Sheng's main body nodded.
***
Sacrifice God Nation.
"Feel that? Feels like something bad has happened." The gloominess on Lu Sheng's face instantly went away. In its place was his initial calmness and a smile.
Within the god nation's temple, the God of Sacrifice stared blankly at his own god nation's core. The glaring white radiance was now covered in a layer of blurred gray.
"You… You!!" His voice was trembling. It was clear that his entire god nation had been pulled into a completely alien dimension by some unknown and terrifying power.
"Alright, since that was successful, this is a goodbye." Lu Sheng smiled and waved at the entrance to the god nation in the Offering Hall. He turned around and left.
On the entrance to the platinum-colored god nation behind him, a thick layer of gray started creeping all over it. The gray matter was the dimensional separator within Qianshen's main body.
Lu Sheng walked out of the hall and instantly melted into a mass of flesh the size of a person's head. It shot up into the dark night sky.
No matter how the God of Sacrifice struggled, it was too late for him to think of escaping now that he was inside Qianshen's stomach. As for the passage to the Star World, since he was inside Qianshen's stomach, there was no need to mention it. It had been directly cut off.
High above in the night skies, Lu Sheng flew to an altitude of 1,000 meters. He could faintly hear the buzzing sounds from the temple below him.
He looked down and saw that the temple was slowly being enveloped in a layer of gray. The outer walls and the roof of the temple started crumbling and falling down.
The building melted into gray liquid and seeped through the ground.
'A part of this temple belonged to the god nation. Is it being digested now?' Lu Sheng guessed in his mind. He picked up his pace to get away from the temple. He passed by mountains, streams, and rivers.
Eventually, he found his main body on a cliff 100 miles away from Dawn City. Then, he nosedived.
With a piercing sound, he plunged into the main body's arm.
Lu Sheng was gazing at Dawn City from the distance. A female assassin in black muslin and black armor followed behind him.
"Charmes, are there any grand movements from the great churches?" Lu Sheng did not even look back as he casually put forth the question. Devouring the God of Sacrifice was only one of the tasks he'd delegated to his clones.
At the same time, he had sent out the Abominations and his clones to three separate locations to take down the weak gods.
The three gods were the God of Sacrifice, the God of Gardening, and the God of Jealousy.
The God of Sacrifice was the most difficult to deal with. This deity had even resorted to anchoring his own god nation onto the bottom of the Star World. Lu Sheng did not know where he learned about the method and technique. When he was ready to end his own life with Lu Sheng, he was completely caught in Lu Sheng's trap.
Otherwise, it might very well have ended the way he intended to—Lu Sheng would die with him.
"There are no movements. However, the Shadow Church has sent out more scouts. Also, the Golden Dragon Tribe and the Black Dragon Tribe are having a minor quarrel again. The golden dragons are secretly liaising with the young lady as they wanted to use her bloodline to activate the royal inheritance," replied the female assassin Charmes softly.
Lu Sheng nodded with satisfaction.
Charmes was the leader of an assassin organization he chanced upon. Her assassination skills were masterful. She was also a peak expert of the legendary rank. As a person who valued talents, Lu Sheng retained her as his chief of information.
Currently, Lu Sheng was liking this arrangement very much.
Lu Sheng paused slightly before asking, "Also, have you found the locations of the other regalia? I want ancient regalia." 
"We've found them. Besides the two most powerful god systems, the ones closest to us are the Ocean Soul Spear and the Sword of Lars," replied Charmes quickly.
"Ocean Soul Spear… the ocean gods, huh… Just as well. We can also take care of the Seven-colored Dragon Tribe as well." Lu Sheng had gotten a rough estimation of the seven-colored dragons' whereabouts during the past few days. Although he did not have a precise location, it was much better than not knowing anything.
"Have Barnes follow Hongye. The rest of you should rest and regroup. Five days from now, we'll depart for the West Sea."
"Understood!" Charmes knelt with one knee on the ground. After accepting the order, she instantly disintegrated into black smoke and vanished.
Lu Sheng took a final glance at Dawn City far away behind him. This was a stronghold of the Cain Kingdom. Currently, it had become his land.
The movements of the churches and any large organizations never escaped his notice.
He leapt into the air and took a step forward. A dimension door appeared before him. Lu Sheng stepped into it calmly.
When he reappeared, he was already standing inside the rock hall opposite the experiment room under the cursed land.
Lu Sheng walked out of the rock hall and opened a rock door to his left. It was the entrance to a narrow and long black tunnel inscribed with protective runes.
Lu Sheng passed through the tunnel, and found a bronze-colored rock door at the end. A monster with countless viper heads and the body of a dog was sprawled before the door.
This monster was completely dark golden in color. There were 101 black vipers sprouting from its neck. When it saw Lu Sheng, the monster got to its feet. When it registered that it was Lu Sheng, it immediately whimpered.
Lu Sheng ignored it. He looked toward the symbol on the bronze rock door. This was a self-looping formation rune lock. At fixed intervals, the lock on the door would switch on its own.
He quickly figured out the combination for today, and drew certain strokes on the door with his finger. In no time, the rock door slowly parted to the sides.
It was a rock hall that was neither big nor small.
Lu Sheng walked quickly into the space. The rock door behind him was sealed shut with a dull thud.
He was indifferent to it. He turned left and quickly entered a secret passage, then quickly went through the secret passage, and emerged in a semicircular cavern at the end of the passage.
A simple pitch-black altar with purple radiance was erected on the floor of the cavern.
Three colorful crystals with spikes hovered above the altar. The three crystals were accompanied by faint songs of hymns with different styles.
"Three Godhoods…" Lu Sheng sighed with relief. He looked at his harvest before himself.
The God of Sacrifice, the God of Gardening, and the God of Jealousy. These were their Godhoods.
Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes and reached out. He held the Gardening Godhood.
'Godhood, a type of hypostasis. It's a position of authority granted by this universe to rule over some of the natural laws. If the universe was akin to a huge kingdom, the Godhoods would be the natural offices granted by the universe. I have not much use for them.'
He did not intend to stay in this universe for long. Hence, the Godhoods would not be of much use to him. After all, these powers and positions would be useless in the other universes.
'However, it should be useful for gaining insight on the workings and rules of the universe.'
He grabbed the Gardening Godhood and slowly closed his eyes. He plunged his spirit into it and gathered insight about the rules related to gardening.
At the same time, within his Heart Image World.
The withered plants of gardens in the town seemed to be revitalized. They became lush again.
Many other plants in the surrounding environments also slowly gained a sense of liveliness.
The Gardening Godhood contained ranking systems of the management of plants. This was the equivalent of an office which oversaw everything related to gardening.
Lu Sheng merely tested his hand in this. He immediately learned unbelievably vast amounts of gardening-related rules and common knowledge from the workings of this world.
The related blank spaces in his Heart Image World were also swiftly filled up. His entire Heart Image World increased in authenticity.
Lu Sheng gathered insight from the Gardening Godhood for four days. However, he had yet to completely absorb the information and knowledge he obtained from the working of the world.
If he wanted to completely digest what he had gained, Lu Sheng felt that he at least needed several years to manage it.
Feeling helpless, he could only hide the three Godhoods within Qianshen's stomach again.
He felt that if he could completely digest the benefits brought about by the three Godhoods, his Heart Image World would certainly improve and rise to a higher rank.
The most fundamental information originating from the working of the world could greatly help in patching up the flaws of Lu Sheng's Heart Image World.
After that, he would only have to absorb a certain amount of reincarnation power to stabilize his Void Underworld tier and move on to the next tier.
After putting the Godhoods away, Lu Sheng went to another corner of the cavern. On a stone table, many bronze tablets were laid out. The bronze tablets were inscribed with the latest information on the seven-colored dragons.
The Light Church and the Shadow Church were warring before this. Under the cover of the chaos, Lu Sheng busied himself with hunting down gods.
It was during this time that he received news about the Seven-colored Dragon Tribe.
"The sacred land of the red dragons, the Scarlet Blood Mountains, had sent out a hunting troop. They are cooperating with the demigod Sardine to hunt down the Seven-colored Dragon Tribe. As of this report, they have already killed two seven-colored dragons."


Demons, devils, ghosts and monsters
Plunge the mortals weak in horrors;
Arms of gods and blades of devils,
Shroud the world in untold evils.

Lu Sheng was an ordinary civil servant in the modern world. After waking from a drunken stupor one day, he found himself trapped in a dangerous world where demons, ghosts and supernatural monsters terrorize the land. 

In this world, ordinary mortals live in dark fear and helplessness, without any means to fight against the supernatural. 

As Lu Sheng struggles desperately for survival, he stumbles upon a game mod he had designed for a mobile phone app in his previous life. It unexpectedly becomes his special ability, which enables him to instantly level up any skill he learns, albeit at a cost.

Thus, Lu Sheng begins his journey, striving for power beyond the reach of a mortal as he treads the way of the Devil…
