The old man was caught up in a conflict he doesn't want to lie but he also wanted to save Lee's face but before he can say anything George pointed the table at the dinning hall and they saw the swipe machine in it, The old man look at Lee and feel pained he didn't want to Lee to get ashamed but he can't do anything he keeps on thing how he could save Lee from shame but can't think of anything but at this moment Lee pulled his ATM and asked the old man to get the downpayment including the full payment, The old man hesitant for a moment but still get Lee's ATM, George and Mayleen ridiculed Lee on there thought and was shown on there face even if they didn't say anything, the old man swipe the atm and was slowly after swiping his ready to say the the swipe machine is damage and would asked them all to leave first, even if he lost a business transaction atleast he save Lee from shame and that would be worth it, but after he swipe the ATM he got shock his eyes got wide and he rub it many times he can't believe what he saw he look at Lee and again he look at the recite he was holding he walked directly at Lee he smile then said, Sir it was nice doing business with you, Janet eyes got wide and could believe what she heard even George grab the recite at the old man and didn't believe what he saw the thought how, all of them are stupefied, they all came back to there senses when Lee spoke, Thank you sir it is my pleasure doing business with you, we will comeback here next week for the turn over, the old man nodded and smile gently, George can't accept his defeat and said wait up were did you get that amount of cash? are you a drug dealer he asked, is out of your business said Lee, George smile and said yes it is out of my business but being a good citizen I don't what this old fellas be implicated with bad transaction, the old man didn't say but his face changed a little, but then Janet proudly speak My husband is a gamer and also a streamer if you still don't believe us you can investigate our back ground she doesn't know were that money really came from but she trusted her husband so much and she had enough with this couple how finds trouble with her husband so didn't hide her anger anymore, is there anything else said Janet, The coupled shake there heads, then we'll take our leave first she said, Janet leave the building followed by Lee who is smiling wide.

When they got out of the building Janet has a lot of thought and question that she wanted to asked Lee but she didn't know were to start Lee could feel it so he grab her left arm and he said lets eat first, Janet just nodded and followed Lee, they enters a restaurant but Janet was still out of her mind not until she realize that she was sitting in a luxurious chair and on her front was a beautiful table then she look out side of the restaurant and she was shock they were at the most luxurious and most expensive restaurant she look at Lee and said you...you... spend so much for the building and now we are here sitting in a most expensive restaurant how..how... much money do you have?, aren't you happy said Lee, Yes I am but how can we afford all of this Janet asked, Lee laugh and said do you remember what I said last time about the helmet? Janet thought for a while and recalled what Lee said then she realize that Lee didn't just say the world change our life it is already a fact, she asked Lee how? then Lee started to explained and told her every story even he show her the streams he made using his phone, Janet keeps on laughing all the time and she thought Game world didn't just change Lee's behaviour it also change there social statues,  What she said earlier on her classmate which was a made up idea was exactly the truth, she said then what I said with my classmate was true she asked, Lee nodded and said I thought you have an idea then he laugh, Janet also laugh while shaking her head.

After there there meal they went to mall and buy some cloths and gift for there children and for there selves, they also take out some foods from a well known fast food chained then they went home, when they arrived home there children was so happy to see that the all have a new dress and they enjoyed eating there meals after meal, Lee accompanied there children and went to there karate class and same as there daily routine Lee work at the groceries and delivers cakes from buyers while Janet started busying herself cooking cakes,. When Lee got nothing to do his views some streams regarding Game World he viewed a video posted by Jaxx about there teaming up with Nameless they gathered so much views which make him happy for them then he view different video some views talks about him, about his identity how he really was some assumed they know him, he doesnt really care about there conjunctions and was about to log out when he saw a video that has a title Top 10 players and top 10 guilds, when he view it he saw his code name as top 1 followed by Jaxx, Orlan, and May the top 5 to 10 came from from aristocrat families, Mafia, Pro players and some business tycoons which is familiar with him then when he look at the top 10 guild he didn't recognized the top 1 not until he saw the guild Leader it was Jaxx and the guilds name was KingMan guild and Kingman guild consist of the pro players and the not so rich players those middle class players, and those solo gamers who idolized him, for them he is the hidden Leader of the guild.

Betrayed by his trusted friend, Lee is so down and feeling so low but that betrayal that crush his whole world becomes his greatest opportunity and it is up to him on how he would seize it.

"Can you let me talk to him today?" Harper asked.

"Why, should I?"

"Please, I need him back. If you let him come back then you could leave here too." Harper pleaded.

"If you could have him back or information on the Mermaid which would you choose?" She turned and smiled at him.

Harper was shocked. Ariel is dead or was she. "Why must I choose?" He finally answered.

"It's amuses me." She laughed. " So which would you choose?"

"If Ariel is alive and we can get her back for Richie then I would choose her. If she is dead and I can only bring pain to him then I want my love back."

"Interesting, you would give up love for another. So sad. I would never do that. I want what I want." Kara said.

"What do you want?" Harper asked.

"You are the first person to ever ask that." She smile at him. "I want to be free. I want my own body and my own life. I don't want to be tied to this cry baby anymore. They always give me the crybabies."

She walked over to the bed and pulled out a flash drive. Get me everything on this drive and I will give you both things. Ariel and the crybaby." She threw the drive over and he caught it. "Can you do it?"

"I'll try. I'll be back tomorrow with the answer." He walked out the door.

How was she getting these drives. No one ever visited. Staff here were strick. 

When he got back to the little apartment he rented he plugged in the drive to his computer.

There were a lot of things on the list and everything was easy to get but a live dead body. Did that mean he needed to find someone who was brain dead. Could they use the body if the family did not want to?

He then call JJ.

"What's up brother?"

"Kara said she would let Mickey go and that she knows were Ariel is."

"What? Ariel's alive?"

"I don't know, she just said she had information." Harper took a deep breath and explained everything that happened today. Then he explained about the list.

"Shit, do you believe her?"

"Yes I do."

"And you would of chosen Ariel if you could only get one."

"Yes"

"Shit man, you are a better friend then me. I am glad she will give us both. I have a body that will work. Sarah committed suicide a few hours ago. We have her on life support but the Doctor says she is brain dead. Do you think you could bring Kara here. I'll get the rest of the stuff for you. Also don't tell Richie or his brother about any of this till we have good news." JJ said.

"Sure, I think it best to call Tubby and Heny to help get Kara there."

"Good idea. See you in a few days then." 

Harper then called to have the guys meet him here as soon as they could get there.

It had been almost two month that Ariel had been on this little island. She was free to walk around and she did, in her free time. Her voice was still gone. She made a call once to Marcus just to hear him say hello. When he hung up her heart hurt even more so she decided not to do that again.

She was given daily shots and injections. When the Doctor said she was fertile he then artificially implanted what he called super sperm in her. She was now pregnant.

As she walked today she watched the boats sail across the waters. She missed everyone and wondered what they were doing. Marcus went crazy the last time he thought she was dead; would he go through the same thing now.

Would it be better if after she was released to stay far away from him or would he want her back knowing she had a child. She touched her belly. 'Little one I don't know what to do?'

"Ariel, Doctor James would like to see you." Paul said.

She shook her head and walked to him. Then she opened her book and wrote...
[Can you do me a favor and find out if my husband is ok. I won't break my promise I just want to know.]

"Yes, I can do that." Paul smiled.

Ariel made her way to the lab and found Doctor James.

"Goods yous here. Ariels I's needs yous to sits so I's can takes yours blood agains." He said.

Ariel sits and holds out her arm. She was getting use it now. She closed her eyes and waited.

"Goods, yous can goes now." He said.

Ariel wrote something then handed him her book.

[Will I ever have my voice again?]

He read it and sighed. "I's am afraid nots. I's not takes yours voice the seas dids."

[You said you did it]

"I's knows. I's nots. I's just tolds you I's did." 

He watched as a tear ran down her cheek. She would never be able to speak again.

She walked out and sat on the dock watching the waves roll in.

Marcus worked late every night. Janet Little stood in his office door.

"Call it a night. Go home and get some sleep." She said.

"I would rather work. Keeps my mind off other things."

"I know you miss her. But she would not want you to be like this. She loved life and she loved you. Come have a drink with me."

"No thanks. I'll head home soon. I promise."

Janet shook her head. "Marcus, please let your friends help you. Talk to them. My brother calls every day asking about you."

"I know they care. I just need sometime and space."

She shook her head as she walked out.

Marcus worked on the project plans for another hour before going home. When his phone went off he looked at it to see it was his brother.

"What wrong?" Marcus asked.

Ariel Thomas is an overworked Orphan who loves to swim.

Harrison McKenna is a single father who has a hard time spending time with his six year old daughter Lily because his business keeps time busy.

Can Ariel open his eyes and bring Lily's wish for her family to be complete come true or will she find a true love in his little brother who always showed her love.


Grayson took a broad stride out of the elevator on the first floor, grinning and showing off his pearly whites. It was a wonderful day - Edward had come to work before his scheduled time to begin, according to Arazia's secretary, Frank had gone off on an inspection, and best of all, Patrick Sherman was dead and gone.

He nearly slid down the banister of the staircase to the lobby, but decided not to frighten any visitors and continued down serenely. 

"Hello, my dears," Grayson cooed, coming around to Janet and Marianne, his favorite zombie employees. "How are you both this fine day?"

"Just perfect, Mr. Lee!" They smiled, stood up straight as a whistle and stared happily into his luscious, green eyes. "How are you?"

"Perfectly perfect!" He grinned with an open mouth, then wrenched open the gate to the back room.

The secretaries’ bright eyes followed their employer. "You sure are happy today, Mr. Lee," Janet called out. "What's the occasion?"

"Oh, nothing." With his back to them, Grayson smirked. "Just picking up my keys."

Janet and Marianne looked at each other in confusion. "What? But you just sent Frank down here to get them, didn't you?"

He ignored them initially, tacking it on to idiocy, and opened the drawer. 

For a moment, Grayson Lee simply stared at the empty drawer of his file cabinet, his mouth agape. It was impossible. It couldn't be. Why, why, why would Frank take his keys? The very idea seemed like a ridiculous joke. Even if his future self had come back to the past to tell him that very thing, he would have merely laughed and kicked himself in the face. It was absolutely impossible.

And yet, his keys were not where they were supposed to be. In addition to that, he already had proof that Frank had not only lied through his teeth to the girls, but had also sneaked into Grayson's private cabinet and taken the keys himself.

The very thought of the scenario excited Grayson beyond belief. He could even feel a long, forgotten emotion brimming within. Patrick Sherman’s obliterated neck resurfaced in his mind. He thought he had seen something out of the corner of his eye that day when he turned around to get back into his car. When he scanned the horizon, there had been nothing, but it had stuck in his memory nonetheless.

This is going to be so much fun.

Grayson sauntered out of the room. "You're right!" he laughed a genuine laugh, although its pitch seemed a little shrill at the end. "How could I have forgotten? Frank must have gotten busy with his work, so he forgot to check back in with me. Sorry to trouble you, ladies. Continue on as usual!" 

The Vice-President moved off in his usual precise fashion, zipping up the stairs and into the elevator at the top.

"Mr. Lee...forgot something?" Marianne asked her co-worker with a dubious eyebrow.

"Maybe we should just forget about it, Marianne." Janet patted her friend on the arm. "It's none of our business, after all."

"Yeah. Yeah, I guess you're right," Marianne said, as she picked up some papers

*************

flew through the air as Frank tore through the files in a violent frenzy. He wasn't even paying attention to them anymore. His body was without direction. He wanted to explode, taking the room - no, the building with it, tearing it all down. It had all been for naught.

The papers were blank.

Not just the top boxes, not just some of the folders, everything. There was not one document containing information of any kind in the entire room. While it was stacked to the brim with containers, there was not one word of information present at all.
 
He collapsed into a heap in the pile of papers he’d created, crumpling them into his fists in defeat. How could I have been so stupid? There’s no way he’d leave his secrets out in the open like this...it was always nothing but a trap.

I have to get out of here. I crossed the line...I ruined my entire career in the pursuit for truth...and I failed miserably, to boot. 

Suddenly, Frank heard his cell phone buzzing in his pocket. He pulled it out, but even before he stared at the name, he already knew who was on the other end.

Frank fled from the room, slamming the door behind him and high-tailing it down the corridor. He didn't even pick up the keys from where he had left them on the disheveled floor. There was no point in locking it - everything was out in the open now.

Frank ran down the passage back to the elevator corridor, entering it seconds before Grayson arrived. Zexaron's Vice-President stepped out of the other elevator calmly, surveying the hallway in front of him. He moved systematically through the halls, looking for any evidence that the floor had received a visitor. This gave Frank enough time to make it from the building to his car. Janet and Marianne shouted to him on his way out, but he paid them no heed. He had lost his innocence; all his ties with the company had been severed in an instant. And most frightening of all, Grayson was coming for him.

Outside, Frank swerved his car around the parking lot with an unintentionally loud screech, then peeled out and skidded in the wrong direction. He smacked the steering wheel in frustration and got back on track.

As his car disappeared down the dirt path away from the Zexaron headquarters, Grayson 

*************

shoved open the building's wide glass doors. 

"You're not getting away, Arazia!" Grayson sang happily, opening the door to one of the company cars and quickly starting the engine. It was a sleek black Benz, his favorite of the rental lot. Backing up with perfection, he shot down the dirt pathway, knocking up a huge cloud of dust in his wake.

Grayson pulled out his cell phone and hit the #6 on his speed dial. "Janet!" he shouted into the phone.

She answered immediately on the other line. "Yes, sir?" 

"There's been a crisis," Grayson said. "Frank and I will both be leaving for a short while. In our absence, I want you to hand over command to our new friend, Mr. Darcouver. Do you understand?"

"Yes, sir!" Janet replied obediently.

Grayson hung up with a sharp click, excited to focus back on his game. "You're a feisty one, Arazia," he murmured with glee. "And you will be taken out in the feistiest of ways." 

Frank sped down the dusty road, flooring the pedal with all his might. His tiny Geo was no match against Grayson's machine, and in a straight race like this, it was only a matter of time before his pursuer caught up.

And so, Frank swerved off the pathway into the oil fields, tires rolling wildly over the dusty plains. The car was jostled down a small hill, where it continued over the barren wasteland ahead of him.

"There's nowhere to run, Arazia!" Grayson called out. "You're my prey now."

"The 9th person to get off.. it is the first time I've heard of this attribute."

"Oh, you probably wouldn't have. This is the first time us Prophets have seen it."

This brat was giving an excuse. I wanted to tease him a bit.

"But it is strange. If you really received the revelation, why aren't you a 'revelator' instead of 'someone who got off'? What is with this name?"

"T-That… the revelation… no, the book of revelation…"

Lee Sungkook stuttered. It was delightful watching him try to avoid Lie Detection. I wondered how honest he could be. Lee Sungkook finally closed his eyes.

"When I read the book of revelation… I stopped!"

"You stopped reading it? Why didn't you read it?"

"The contents of the Book of Revelations are very difficult, vast and profound…"

"Then you were the 9th person to get off?"

"Yes…"

"I don't think that will be of much help to me."

"N-No! I can definitely help you!"

The confused Lee Sungkook continued to speak gibberish while uneasily turning his smartphone off and on.

"Why do you keep touching that smartphone?"

"I-I-I'm sorry. I am a smartphone addict…"

He was trying to get advice from the other ones who got off. But that didn't last long.

"Are you going on the Internet?"

"Y-Yes, that's right. It is the ability of the hermit…"

At Lee Sungkook's words, I looked towards Han Donghoon. The hypnotized boy was busy tearing at his fingernails with empty eyes.

The Hermit King of Shadows who had the powerful information manipulation ability. This boy couldn't be kept under the prophets.

If the Prophets became involved in the story in this way, the original novel was ruined and the plans I set up would be wasted. I had to stop these guys before everything went wrong.

"Do the other prophets also have the attribute of 'getting off'?"

"…Yes."

"How many are there in total?"

"That…" Lee Sungkook hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth. "As far as I know, there are 48 people."

48 people? It was smaller than I thought.

Considering that chapter 1,200 had one hit and chapter 10 had 120 hits, I thought there would be at least 100 people.

Lee Sungkook's words resolved my curiosity.

"I know there were more prophets originally but I expect most of them didn't pass the first scenario."

"They are dead despite knowing the future?"

"That… we have received the revelation but we only recently realized that it was a 'true' revelation."

Now it made a little sense.

Perhaps at the start of the scenario, few readers thought that a novel that started serialization 10 years ago would become a reality. They might not remember it straight away.

I thought it was strange that Lee Sungkook survived. Furthermore, this guy was the ninth person to stop reading so he was literally one of the earliest readers. Then how did he survive?

"I fortunately survived the carriage. If it hadn't been for another prophet nearby, I would've died."

Another prophet in the same place as him?

"That―"

The moment that Lee Sungkook was about to speak, the ground slightly shook. The vibration was transmitted despite Sound Wave Blocking.

Lee Sungkook and I ran out of the tent at the same time.

Kung!

I thought it was a sudden sub scenario but that wasn't it. Two people stood in the centre of the epicenter. The man and woman facing each other. I didn't know the man but the other person was…

"You aren't a supporting role… yet you dare to push me?"

"What are you talking about, you dog-like jerk."

…Not surprisingly, it was Jung Heewon.

"What? Dog…? You bitch!"

The man grabbed a very large ring sword from his back. His overall level seemed in line with Jung Heewon's. But it wasn't enough.

Jung Heewon movements were already above incarnations of the same class. Jung Heewon's blade moved lightly as the man attacked.

[The character 'Jung Heewon' has activated the special option of Mikazuki Munechika, "Death God's Footsteps'…]

"Jung Heewon!"

Jung Heewon stopped his black just before she cut off the man's head. The hairs were rising on the man's neck.

It was a tremendous difference in speed. If I hadn't intervened, the man would be dead.

The startled Lee Sungkook cried out, "Jung Minseob! What are you doing now?"

I realized it when I saw Lee Sungkook's confusion.

[The exclusive skill, Character List is activated.]

Then the expected message popped up.

[The information of this person can't be read in 'Character List.']

[This person isn't registered in 'Character List.']

That's right. He was also a Prophet.

* * *

After a while, another prophet was on his knees in front of me, with Lee Sungkook next to him.

"I'm sorry, my friend didn't know anything… Hey, apologize quickly!"

The man sitting beside him bowed towards me.

"…I'm sorry."

Unlike Lee Sungkook. he was a very prideful person and couldn't completely remove the anger from his face. I looked at Jung Heewon and said,

"Jung Heewon, I told you not to be reckless."

"T-This bastard…!"

"Jung Heewon!"

Jung Heewon made a surprised expression for the first time.

"…I'm sorry, Yoo Jonghyuk-nim."

Jung Heewon bowed and turned to leave, Lee Hyunsung following her with a strange expression. I knew that Jung Heewon wasn't the type to raise a sword to someone for no reason.

However, it was dangerous to move in this current situation.

The other man looked at me and asked, "Are you really Yoo Jonghyuk-nim?"

"Yes, are you also a prophet?"

"…Yes."

There was a complicated expression on his face. He looked between me, Jung Heewon and Lee Hyunsung. Then he glanced at Lee Sungkook and said.

"Excuse me, Yoo Jonghyuk-nim. I'm sorry but I'm afraid I'll have to leave you for a moment. Sungkook, talk with me for a minute."

He left the tent while Lee Sungkook bowed to me.

"I won't wait long."

"Yes!"

It wouldn't be like this if it was the original Yoo Jonghyuk. But I had a reason for allowing them to talk. As soon as Lee Sungkook left the tent, I immediately called to Bihyung.

'Hey Bihyung.'

[What is it? Having fun again…]

'Hearing enhancement, 2,000 coins.'

[······.]

Now Bihyung had adapted. It took less than three seconds before an advertisement went up.

[2,000 coins have been consumed.]

[The exclusive skill 'Hearing Enhancement' has been acquired.]

Bihyung warned.

[Hey, be careful from the fourth scenario onwards. For such a wide-scale scenario, the intermediate dokkaebis have jurisdiction….]

I ignored Bihyung's words.

[The exclusive skill 'Hearing Enhancement Lv. 1' is activated.]

I moved my body outside the tent blocked by Sound Wave Blocking. Then voices started to be heard. They weren't too far from where I was hiding.

"Hey, isn't it slightly strange?"

"What?"

"Do you see that as a handsome face?"

"What are you talking about suddenly…?"

"The author said that Yoo Jonghyuk was handsome."

This bastard? Fortunately, Lee Sungkook dismissed it.

"The author might have different tastes… He is Yoo Jonghyuk for sure. He has the same dirty nature."

"You only got off at the 9th chapter, what do you know…?"

"This…! You don't really remember it since you read it a long time ago!"

"Still, aren't some scenes pretty clear with the 'Memory Benefits? Would you even remember the prologue without this privilege? You might not be alive if it wasn't for me…"

Their voices were coming closer.

"It is weird no matter how I look at it. Setting aside Lee Hyunsung, who is that strange woman? If I remember correctly, there wasn't such a woman in the third regression."

"Then check it. See if he is really Yoo Jonghyuk."

"…But what if he is real?"

"We will go according to plan. If we get Yoo Jonghyuk here, we can deal with those who read until the 50th chapter."

Some really good information was coming in. Despite wanting to hug onto the main character, these guys were unleashing all types of curse words because of their situation. This was why they were humans.

Lee Sungkook and the man was coming closer.

"I apologize for the long wait. Let's go inside."

We went back into the tent.

"Yoo Jonghyuk-nim. I apologize for my previous disrespect. I will greet you again. I am Jung Minseob."

The man smiled and bowed.

Once again, this guy had pretty good items for being beaten by Jung Heewon. In particular, there was the useful Fugitive's Mask which allowed the user to freely change their face and appearance.

I cut to the chase.

"Then where did you get off?"

Jung Minseob glared at Lee Sungkook. He seemed to be saying something with his eyes.

"…The 1,089th person to get off."

1,089. Considering the number of views for chapter 1,200 was 1 and the number of views for chapter 10 was 120, this guy was a person who got off quite late.

Maybe this was the guy who saved Lee Sungkook in the first scenario.

"As a prophet who has read the Book of Revelation, I am glad and honoured to meet Yoo Jonghyuk-nim. However, Yoo Jonghyuk-nim… I'm sorry but can I ask you some questions?"

"Question? What is the question?"

"That, regarding Yoo Jonghyuk…"

"Do you doubt that I'm the real Yoo Jonghyuk?"

"…T-That's not it."

His face was red from my intense gaze.

"Try it."

"Yes?"

"Ask me."

The confused Jung Minseob nodded.

"Um… Then excuse me."

In order to properly trick these guys, I had to keep a few things in mind.

"As far as I know, Yoo Jonghyuk took Delusional Demon Kim Namwoon as a companion in the third regression. Yet you have a strange woman with you instead of Kim Namwoon."

"…"

"I thought she was Lee Jihye but she doesn't seem to be in her teens. I also heard you calling her a different name."

His memory and observation skills were quite good. Like Jung Minseob said, this world had already changed from the third turn that I knew. Now I had to shift this changed world to 'suit my taste' as much as possible.

"If you are asking me why I don't have the Delusional Demon with me, the answer is simple. In this turn, the Delusional Demon doesn't exist."

"…Huh?" D-Doesn't exist? Perhaps… did he die?"

"Yes."

Their faces were filled with confusion for a moment. Jung Minseob asked, "No, how… Who the hell killed Kim Namwoon?"

"The Delusion Demon Kim Namwoon…"

These prophets' mouths were slowly dropping. Now I would drive in the last wedge.

"He died at the hands of a prophet like you."

Only I know the end of this world.

(At the Hokage Offices)

Sitting at his desk was the 3rd Hokage going through the list of the graduation class trying to figure out which sensei would be best 'Hmm these 3 well do well. Might Guy huh sounds good. Now lets see... Rock Lee dosen't show any skills at all in genjutsu or ninjutsu but tiajutsu is amoung the best placing 3rd. Overall his dead last, then there's Neji Hyuga his got rookie of the year so i'll put those two together. Now for the last memeber... Tenten huh. Looks like a great team indeed. I just hope guy dosen't go overborad on there training. No for Raidens team...' After looking through the list and calling there Jounin sensei he gave the list to the rest of the Jounin council, and that's where he is right now.

"Lord Hokage you can't be serious. You can't give her a team!!" a jounin said. Many of them in the room were thinking the samething as everyone saw the team list he just passed out.

"I understand your worries, but as the Hokage I feel this is the right decsion and I'll stand by it." the Hokage said.

(A week later)

Sitting in the classroom after lunch reading a fuinjutsu book was Raiden. Today was the day that they were going to get there sensei, and all day he's been getting a bad feeling about it. Lee was sitting next to him today talking about how he meet some guy wearing gree spandex awhile ago while he was training. Not that Raiden was paying all that much attention to him, as everytime it concers finjutsu it had all or most his attention.

"So he tell me that if I work hard then I'll become a slpendid ninja. He was so cool Raiden!" Lee said telling the story for the 4th time today. Raiden knew Lee was going to be great as his the most hard working person in the class if not the village. Not that Raiden slacks off either. He trains everyday except he takes two day's off to study everything he can in the libary that his family left for him.

"Yes I know Lee. The guy is awsome. Who knows maybe you'll get him as a sensei if you pray really hard about it." Raiden said just to get Lee to be quit. I mean if you hear the story over and over again wouldn't you do almost anything to get out that situation.

"Yes you are right. I'll do that right now." Lee said getting ready to pray, until Raiden reminded him that he was sitting in Oormi set. After Lee got up and went to his seat Yakumo and Oormi came after talking with Tenten about kami knows what. After they sat down Raiden decided to start the conversation. Looking up from his book Raiden asked " So guys who do you think is going to be on a squad. I know it's going to be me and Oormi since im suppose to protect her. At least I hope were on the same team." Oormi looked thoughtful, but it was Yakumo that answerd "Yeah you guy's have been together since she came to the village so it makes since that you two would be put on a team together, but my team I don't know. The only people who scored high were Neiji, You, Tenten, Oormi, Lee, and me. I think everyone else is well you know." At that time Eiji came in and got the attention of the class.

"Alright everyone. It's time for you guys to take the first step." Eiji said. "Alright team 1..." As Eiji started listing off the teams Raiden tuned him out until he heard his friends names "Alright for team 9; Neji Hyuga, Tenten, and Rock Lee, and your sensei is Might Guy." Eiji started to go down the list again, but before he could continue from team 11 a black ball came crashing threw the window exploding in a shower of confetti and colored smoke. When the smoke cleared Raiden now knew why he was getting to bad feeling and as soon as he saw her, and to make it worse or in this case funny as hell. The banner said (The Sexy, Single, and Deadly Sensei of Team 13; Anko Mitarashi)
She had a dango stick in her mouth and a wicked smile on her face. 

"Alright where are my maggots?!" Anko said looking around at the scared gennin. Eiji come up with a tired look on his face.

"I haven't got to your team yet Anko, and did you have to come through the window?" Eiji asked, but Anko wasn't listening to him. 

"Ah shut the hell up. So who's on my team?" Anko asked

"Team 13. Oormi Terumi, Yakumo Kurama, and Raiden Uzumaki." said Eiji reading off the list.

Anko looked at Raiden and had the biggest smile nyone has ever seen. It went beyond what herface muscles should of allowed "Well well well if it isn't Mr. Smooth himself hehehe. It looks like today I get to fianlly taste your blood along with some two fresh ones." Anko said. Making everyone in the room look at the three of them in pitity. Anko threw three kunais at them, but they hit them, instead they hit the desk infront of them.

"So what's with the tag?" Oormi asked with a sweet voice. Almost every guy in the class was giving Raiden hateful looks. The first day at the academy almost every guy tried to get close to her, but she said she had Raiden. That didn't go over well with the male population, but Raiden did get a ok warm-up so he forgave her. 

"That's the training field we'll be meeting at in 20 minutes so don't be late or im goiing to hehehe. On second thought be late." Anko said with a mischievous laugh as she jumped out of the window she came through.  Raiden,Yakumo, and Oormi looked at Eiji who just sighed.

"Alright we might as well go. Who knows what that crazy woman would do to us if were late."Raiden said to his teammates as they left to go meet up with there sensei.

As they made there way to training ground 44 Raiden was thinking what kind of team this would be 'so me I guess im long to short range, Oormi is mid to long range, and Yakumo is pretty much long range, maybe mid range. It's a pretty intresting team you put together old gezzer, and the sensei is... I'll just leave that alone until I get to know her better.' 

As they arrived at the training grounds they could see a deep forest surrounded by a rusted fence with caution signs on them. Walking over to a tree to sit down Raiden out could feel Anko in the tree on the far end of the training round 'she wants to catch us off gaurd. A test I bet.' 

"So she tells us to come here but she's not here heself." Yakumo said looking around.

"Just be patient Yakumo. I think we might be a minute early. I man she seem scary as hell when said she wanted us to be late.." Oormi said while walking over to Raiden. Then she saw two fingers on the ground. Being with him and training togther for so long she knew what that meant. Raiden looked at Oormi and with his eye's looked at the tree Anko was hiding in. Ormi nodded and tried to act like nothing happened but Anko caught the momment between them and smiled 'Damn he knew I was hear. His a pretty good sensory ninja'


Three kunina came coming flying intending to kill all three of them. Raiden backflipped away from the kunina, Oormi jumped away and landing next to Raiden, and Yakumo took out her on kunina and deflected it. Raiden keep his eye's on the tree while talking to Yakumo "Yakumo come over here. Now why dont you come out Anko-sensei." Raiden said still looking at the tree. Anko jumped out landing in front of them while smiling, while having a dango stick in her mouth. "Well I guess you little piss ants have got some skill. So you get an A for that. Red and Blue over here got into good defensive position, but you. Yours was shit."  Anko said pointing at Raiden when she said Red and Oormi when she said Blue, finishing on Yakumo. Each of them were still on the defensive showing some amount of caution. "Don't worry brats. I'm not going to attack you... Well at least for now. So let's this introductions over with."

"What are you talking about?" Yakumo asked

"What are you stupid? Introduce yourselves. You know likes, dislakes, hobbies, dreams for the future shit like that." Anko said 

"How about you go first. To the group your the unknown." Raiden said sitting down with his sword on his lap.

"So true. Name's Anko Mitarashi, interrogator, and assassin. I like snakes, blood, dango, giving out torture, and a little 'fun'. Anko said winggling her eyebrows. "I dislike many things, way too much to say. Hobbies are scaring the hell out of people and pissing them off." She said making the team look at her warily and shock. 'She's crazy. She kinda remind me of my second persona' Yakumo thought

'Who in the hell likes blood?! What type of people does the ninja force have' Oormi thought

'She seems in pain about something. She covers it up pretty well, but it's there. We all have to open up at some point if this team is going to actually be a team.' Raiden thought Observing everything about her. Anko looked at her new team and smriked.

"So what's with those faces? Thiking some bad thoughts about me huh." Everyone but Raiden went rigged. "Well naughty child like you deserve to be punished don't you think? But I'll let that slide... For now." Anko said with amusement. She pointed to Oormi.

"My name is Oormi Terumi. I like Raiden, my mother, chocolates, clothes shopping, getting stronger, and my friends. I dislike rapist, perverted men, the 4th Mizukage, and people who betrays there friends and family trust. My hobbies are hanging out with my friends, spending time with Raiden, taking on my  flowers 'Jasmine of Fire' that Raiden got for me. My dreams for the future is to be as powerful as the first Terumi clan head, who was the powerful as the First Hokage." Oormi said.

"Not a bad dream, but are you willing to share him?" Anko asked remembering Raiden and Kurenai's conversation.

"If you talking about Raiden then yes. We've talked about his dream and I said I would be apart of it." Oormi answerd with a smile. Anko was shocked but didn't show it on the outside 'What kind of dream does Raiden have?' Anko pointed to Yakumo to start.

"My name is Yakumo Kurama. I like my friends, family, genjutsu, and sweets. My dislikes are Kurenia Yuhi, rapist, Neji Hyuga, and people who don't work hard. My hobbies are tea ceremonies, reading, and learning genjutsu. My dream is to control my kekkei genkai  and become the most powerful genjutsu user in the world." she said. Making Anko smrick at her, then she looked at Raiden and found him reading a book with one hand reminding her of a certain masked one eyed ninja. Anko got a tick mark seeing the similarites between the two of them. 

"Ok tomato your next." Anko said with a smrick, thinking that he would get mad like Kushina Uzumaki use to. Raiden clsed the book and looked in Anko eye's; and Raiden started to laugh his ass off.

"HAHAHA oh shit hahahaha. That's funny as hell... " Raiden laughed, and so did Oormi thinking about the other children that called him that growing up and he would do the same thing his dooing know. Laughing his ass off. "If you were trying to get a rise out of him with that name then forget it. He usally laugh at anything that happenes to him, but if something happenes to be he cares about then watch out." Oormi explained. 'Hmm. He seems to always keep a level head. That's good.' Anko thinking looking at Raiden.

"That was a good one. My name is Raiden Uzumaki. My likes are Oormi, the Uzumaki clan, my friends, the old gezzer the 3rd Hokage, learning new jutsu, and fuinjutsu. My dislikes are rapist, arrogant people, people who betray there friends, kids that don't grow up, fan-girls, those that can't but the past in the past, and thoughs that try to hurt the people I consider family. My hobbies are learning new ninjutsu, creating new fuinjutsu, reading outside, and watching my close people be happy. My dream is resurrect the Hidden Eddy Village in the Land of Whirlpools and restore my clan; while becoming it's Uzukage. It well be a safe haven for dying clans everywhere among other things." Raiden said surprising Anko. 'I guess to restore a clan your going to need a few wives, but the good thing is he seems like the type that would love all of them with all his heart; and it dosen't hurt his already so handsome. I can't wait to ee what he'll look like in a few years.' thought Anko licking her lips at the last thought.

"I have to say everyone of you have great dreams, and im happy to have two kunoichis that want to make it big. Now let's get the real deal test." Anko said as the smrik she had on her face that scared all three of them.

Naruto characters are own by Masashi Kishimoto.

I own my OC's. 

There will be Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura bashing. I mean how in the hell did Naruto get to be the strongest with only 3 jutsu , and he keep relying on the foxes power the whole time. Sasuke is cocky little shit and Sakura is one of the most usless kunoichi ever.

Having eaten a decent lunch, although not as great as Sister Tully's cooking, Aser felt confident once more to explore the academy. Looking at the library in the distance, Aser was tempted to see what new information he could get. He also had the Academy Guidelines book that he still needed to go through, so before doing anything else for now, Aser decided to head into the library. 

The library was located across from the cafeteria building. The building was 4 stories tall, with an open door and marble tiling. Walking past the doors while trying not to bump into the people heading out, Aser saw a grand view that flabbergasted him. Bookshelves upon bookshelves full of books. He couldn't see an end to a single aisle from where he was standing. 

While Aser was standing there like a buffoon, behind the desk near the entrance sat a prim young girl with round spectacles. Janet Rose looked curiously at this obviously new student. She had seen almost everyone during her 3 years working as a library aide, and had never seen this boy. So,  with the assumption he was new, Janet walked up to him to help him out. 

With a smile, Janet went ahead and asked the boy, "Hey, can I do anything to help? I'm guessing this is your first time here?"

Turning around to look at the girl talking to him, Aser replied embarrassed, "Umm hello. Yeah, I just got into the school today for boarding. I was just looking at the all the buildings trying to get familiar with everything."

"Oh, let me give you an introduction then. I'm one of the library aides and also a 4th year student, Janet. The library has four floors, but students only have access to the first two floors. The others are reserved for the teachers and guests of the academy. We have 60 aisles, separated into two rows on the first two floors, and each aisle has about a 100 bookshelves. So that's around 6000 bookshelves worth of materials on each floor. We have books about almost anything you can find, Essence, Cultivation, Demonic Beasts, Skills, Professions, Geography, History, Advanced Theories, System Studies, Explorer Records, Maps, whatever you can think of, you're likely to find in the First Son's Library."

"The library is also open 24/7, and there are private reading rooms near the start and end of each aisle. Most of them are usually taken when the school term starts, but you can book them ahead of time with us. Bookings are done by day and a student can book for at most one semester at a time. You can also borrow books from the library, but there is a very strict 3 day return policy on each book as well as fees if there are any damages to them while borrowed. If it's a very important book, like one where the school only has one copy, you can only read them in the library."

Nodding his head while listening to Janet's explanation, Aser suddenly had an idea. Since he was going to be studying most of the time and has no intention right now to socialize, he thought it would be great to have a fixed room for himself to study in the library. 

"Can I book a study room now?"

Hearing the little boys question, Janet thought of teasing him since he looked so adorable, "Oh? Yeah I can help you rent one. The five biggest study rooms haven't been actually booked yet, but they're very expensive. 50 Silver Notes per day. The others are only 5 Silver Notes per day. Which one do you want?"

Finding out there are different types, Aser was confused why the bigger ones were so much more expensive. Asking her that, he found out exactly why. The bigger study room is less of a study room and more of a place to live! It was big enough to accommodate 10 people studying, had a bed and bookshelf to temporarily keep hold of books they took from the library, and even allowed students to use their entree tickets from the cafeteria to order food in. He felt again what was extravagance. Forget the high prices for food in the cafeteria, a library having what is basically hotel rooms is real extravagance.

Thinking practically as well, Aser knew that there were just too many books and he had a mad desire to finish with all of them as soon as he could. Looking at the bookshelves, he also realized that there were a minimum of a 100 books per bookshelf and so a minimum of 60,000 books on just the first floor! Even if he was able to finish 100 books a day without rest or any other activity, it would still take him two years at the minimum to just go through the first floor! 

He knew that he couldn't finish everything with such a low efficiency and made a note to discuss with Ashes on what he could do to increase his efficiency. 

Seeing the black haired boy thinking with such a pensive expression as if he was getting ready for battle, Janet couldn't help but want to reach out squeeze his pale cheeks. Barely being able to hold back, she suddenly heard a question she didn't know how to answer. 

"Sister Janet, can I book one of the bigger study rooms for a month?"

"What?! A month?! I, I.. I don't know if you can afford it. It's 50 Silver Notes a day, so that's 1 Gold Note every two days, which is 15 Gold Notes a month! Are you sure you want to do that?"

Nodding his small head seriously, "Yes, I know it's a shame I only have enough to book for a month right now otherwise I'd book more time. I already calculated it, can you help me make the booking Sister Janet?"

Listening to his serious reply, Janet knew the boy wasn't joking. What a farce! Even the richest profligate sons wouldn't spend so much on a study room! They would book it for a few days before exams at most! "Okay, if that's what you want.", she replied, leading him to the desk near the entrance and asking him the his information. 

Aser scanned the crystal detector with his Identity Crystal and handed the Crystal Card provided by the bank to let her process his booking. Looking over his information, Janet decided to pay extra attention into his name. Being a student herself and only a library aide, she couldn't get private information such as his evaluation results, but she could see his name. "Aser Scholt huh….", she mumbled to herself. The name seemed familiar to her but she couldn't place it at the time. Thinking back on their conversation, she thought that he was a rich second generation and probably the King of all profligate sons in Shelfield Coast City with how he was spending his money. Deciding to keep her distance from him from now on, she finished registering his information and placing the booking. 

"Room 3 of the A Grade Study Rooms. Just go up the stairs to your right and head left. You'll see the room labeled there easily.", she instructed, handing him his Identity Crystal, Crystal Chip as well as a token for the room. 

"No, that's it for now! Thank you Sister Janet!", Aser gave a shy smile while taking the token and heading out of the library. He still wanted to explore the school grounds for today and start studying later tonight so he didn't mind not going to the study room for now. 

Looking at the boy walking out of the library and not even bothering to check the study room, Janet felt even more hesitant to be in contact with such a person who was given everything. Little did she know that the boy was an orphan and had been living in an orphanage for the past 4 years. Deciding to return to her studies, she heard some of the girls walking in while gossiping, "How do you think Aser Scholt looks like? He must be super cool of he could get a Gold Standard Scholarship. I can't believe the school is increasing so many of our benefits because of him!"

Initially not paying attention to their conversation, Janet suddenly widened her eyes in disbelief when she remembered where she heard the little boy's name. Instantly all of her disdain and hesitant washed away like the tide and she decided to pay a lot more attention to the boy whenever he'd come back.

Beasts had unlocked their System during the Ancient Era, and were once the rulers of the world. A catastrophe had caused them all to go into slumber, ushering in the Venture era where humanity started leaving their settlements to explore. As civilization progressed and tensions rose, humanity fought with themselves for the large swathes of territory. Near the end of the Conquer era, the beasts started awakening from their slumber and pushed humanity to the brink of destruction. Through efforts from humanity's top leaders, the system was unlocked for man, and thus began the era of Enlightenment. 

The goal of everyone in this era is to get enlightened, to seek Ascension. Now every child, every family, every influence seek to be an Ascended like the heroes of their world. 

Aser, an Unknown child raised in an orphanage in the Southern Seas. Like others, on his 7th birthday, the system had awakened in his mind, but he realizes he's special. As he explores the mysteries of the System, our protagonist strives to excel, to prove his worth in the world of Gigantis, to find his parents and to figure out the path to Ascension.

Lately, Jie Jie has been coming and going out of YNG's headquarters more frequently. After getting her pass, she could enter and leave without being held back at the gate by the guards. Some of them have even started to remember her and greeted whenever they met. 

"Auditions will start by the beginning of next week. That day you will also meet director Ye Hao and the producers." Min Lee said while they were taking a break at the coffee machine. 

Working on the script has been going smoothly. Min Lee found that collaborating with Jie Jie was an easy task. Unlike many other authors, Jie Jie was considerate and didn't have many unreasonable demands. She was also improving the script with unique ideas and gave reasonable assistance where it was necessary. He was pleasantly surprised at her working attitude as well. Although the person is quite strange sometimes, she never gave him a headache if it was work-related. 

"Do I have to be there for the auditions?" Jie Jie asked. 

Well, sometimes, though, he couldn't tell if she just doesn't care...

In moments like this, a typical author should be much more interested in the casting of the actors for their characters. But Jie Jie had no desire to attend. 

"Yes, of course! Even though you won't officially attend as the author, your opinion remains valuable. As the author, you must have an impression of your characters. It is best if we could find people who will fit the role." 

"Eh..." Jie Jie doesn't sound like she was convinced just yet. "You have all the descriptions of the characters already."

"It's not like we chose based on looks only!" Min Lee defended. This was actually the first time in his life he felt like begging an author to go to auditions. Why can't she care a little bit more? Didn't she call the book her baby or something like that? 

"You don't?" Jie Jie was not convinced. Her belief was that everything screen related was based on looks, and looks only. 

"Looks are important, but we need to find people who look natural in their roles. What's more important is the vibe they give off. That's why not necessarily all actors resemble their role descriptions. And more important is to find actors who have chemistry next to each other. Especially if it comes to notable pairings. Naturally, there will be angered fans when their favourite character looks nothing like the description, but sometimes that can't be helped."

"So, I have to come?" 

"Yes! It's not like you have something else to do, right?" If any other author had said that they couldn't make it or would leave anything to them, Min Lee would probably rejoice. But somehow he felt challenged when Jie Jie doesn't show any interest in the production. The human brain was indeed a strange pit of contradictions and inconsistencies. 

"Ugh..." Jie Jie couldn't admit that she had a side job, could she? 
"I will be there..."

People thought that writing a few lines couldn't take much time, but it does take a lot of time to write if you want to write decently. And Jie Jie would rather die than deliver crap unless she doesn't want to be an author anymore. The more the story progressed, the more she had to consider. 

Writing an online novel was different than writing a book. Since the chapters are released one after another, there's seldom a chance to go back in time. She had to connect all loose ends before publishing. 

Lately, she understood why so many other web novelists used fillers. And why their stories lose focus the more time goes by. 

Jie Jie also stumped on those matters. Regarding essential events, she lacked time to do research or made it foolproof. There were specific time frames and storylines, but during writing, some authors tend to change their mind in the face of development and fan reactions. The pressure was enormous. 

It's not like everything was always in her grip. She was powerless, even as an author. Whatever she imagined in her head, once it's written down, it doesn't make sense or was too far fetched. Sometimes she lacked the strength to improve the situation or the imagination to bend the story to her will. 

Her favourite characters were those that wrote their own stories. As an author, there is no greater joy than to have a character come to life on their own. Writing those characters were the easiest. Sometimes there are even personas that made such a strong impact that they change the whole storyline. When a figure like that came to life, the author becomes the assistant—one who just have to narrate the story. 

Work doesn't become easier, though. Sadly, it was hard to include such an overbearing character into a static story. Losing the reign over your own story, everything would become chaotic. Once an author forgets who the main character is, the whole story would be lost.

That's why some stories never come to an end. That's the worst nightmarish ending for a novel. Not only for the author, who got lost on the way but also for the readers who will never know the end of the tale. Having a bad end was still better than having no end at all. Still, Jie Jie had to discipline herself whenever she tends to stray from the main plot. And she found out that she did it so many times unknowingly, making her deleting stuff and going in circles day after day. 

To tell the truth, she underestimated web novels. As someone who wrote a bestseller, she expected that writing an online novel would be child's play. But she was wrong. 

There were not many thoughts she wasted on it when she was writing for fun. What happens happens. But now that she was commissioned, she found out that apart from a beginning and an end, she had not planned out that much beforehand. There was just a rough outline, but the details were jumbling in her head. Because she had to do daily updates, the mess in her head became bigger and bigger. It was hard not to throw the towel. Until now, she was able to fool her readers because things were still fun and giggles. But it's going nowhere. She felt the pressure accumulating. 

People thought that she only has to write a chapter a day, but the truth was, in her head, half of the book has to be written in advance. If she didn't do so, the story would become incomprehensible and would never connect well the more it advances. 

And if she didn't prepare, it would be even harder to write, because she had no lifeline to hold on. That's like swimming in the ocean and holding on to driftwood. 

"You are so strange." Min Lee said, "Normally authors died to have the right add their opinion on the matter of casting." 

"I have a say in those matters?" This was the first time she had heard of this. She had heard from so many that the author has not much say in those matters. That's why she didn't feel like her physical appearance was of any concern. 

"I thought those castings are just a matter of appearance..." Jie Jie told Min Lee her honest thoughts. 

"What? No! Why would we spend time and money on castings if we have a cast already? Does that make sense?" Min Lee was shocked to hear that Jie Jie had such a bad opinion of their circle. Where did she get those ideas? 

"I think you watch too many dramas?" Min Lee laughed. Where else could she have gotten those prejudices from? 

"We do have our eyes on some actors and actresses, of course. Having someone who is highly in demand helps with sales. But it's not like we always get the ones we want. Sometimes some new actors excel at a certain role, so we don't mind changing perception. That's what casting is for."

"So it's like that." Maybe she was biased thanks to Bai Jingyi and Luo Min Kai, two extremes who changed her outlook on the life of show biz and entertainment. 

"What are you thinking about?" Min Lee saw that Jie Jie suddenly fell into deep thoughts. 

"Min Lee, say, is the audition open to anyone?"

"Not 'anyone', of course. Our time is limited. But we like to keep our options open. Why are you asking?" Min Lee had a bad premonition. 

"Then, could I recommend someone to the audition?" 

Min Lee eyed Jie Jie for sometime before answering vaguely: "Since you're the author, we appreciate your opinion. But there is no guarantee that that person will get a role or have an advantage during the audition. On the contrary, YNG does not approve of using the back door. The person coming in through relations would go through harsher screening than all the others to make it fair. I hope you will not be disappointed if it doesn't work out." 

Usually, Min Lee would never approve of such things. 

There were a lot of authors who thought they could pick whomever they fancied. Or stockholders and investors who thought they could choose any role for their lovers to play out. YNG has never approved of such measures, even at the loss of profit. 

Of course, YNG Entertainment was biased towards their own actors, so if they do production, other actors and actresses will find it hard to set foot into the casting list. But if an individual tried to pick roles, that's a breach of the companies values. Yang Yun hated such things. Not one of his previous lovers had ever gotten a role through his connections. They did get some exposure, though, gaining some fame by standing next to him. That was the only favour he did them. But for most, it was more than enough to step onto the ladder. 

"It doesn't matter. It's a chance. And I think this person will fit the role very well..." 

Of course, Jie Jie had high expectations. She had nothing to lose, but for Jingyi, this could be a chance that won't come twice. If she could abuse her rank as the author to open a door for him, she would not hesitate. Why hadn't she thought of this before? Should she start to be more aware of opportunities from now on? Maybe there was more she could do for Jingyi, now that she was involved in the production. She doesn't approve of the abuse of power, but where there's a will, there's a way. Be willful once! 

She wasn't sure how good Jingyi's acting was, but she knew that he did take acting lessons along with singing and dancing. And if it's him, he had an advantage the others couldn't possibly have. 

Since he didn't even have the permission to do it, he shouldn't agree that easily, but he couldn't deny his personal interest in the person who changed Jie Jie's mind. It was apparent that she became much more engaged once it was fot the benefit of someone else. Who was it? A friend? A lover perhaps? Well, it doesn't matter. A bunch of people still owe Min Lee a favour. It wasn't that hard to add a name on a list. Whether or not they get the role was up to the individuals own vices. 

"What role do you have in mind for that person? I will put them on the list." 

"The role of 'Bai Ling'." Jie Jie said with determination. 

It wouldn't matter much whether or not Jingyi could act when the person he had to portray was himself, wasn't it?

The young and just approved bestseller author and journalist Shin Jie Jie is writing Boys Love stories for fun in her free time and puts them online to share with likeminded fangirls. Because it's not her bread and butter, she takes her sweet and leisure time to upload — much to the despair of her fans. 

Since the propaganda of same-sex relationships is still frowned upon and even prohibited in some areas of life in this country, few authors would dare pursue this genre if they wanted to gain fame or make money. So even if she uses an alias and thus was unknown, her superior style soon stood out and pulled over a steady stream of fans. 

One of those fans is the much-spoiled young miss of YNG Entertainment, Catherine Yang. 
As a vivid fan of Shin Jie Jie's online novel, she is waiting night and day for an update - fruitlessly. 

Flowing into a fit of rage, she attracted the attention of her brother, Michael Yang, who then proceeded to take matters into his own hands. 

If his sister wants to read, of course, the author has to write! How dare you slack off, rotten author! 

When Shin Jie Jie logged in the next day, she couldn't believe her eyes. Her novel was on the front page, number one hit! It's glory putting all the other stories miles behind. 

'Highest Supported Online Novel of all Time'!!!??? 

'Number One Sponsorship'!!!??? 

'The Emperor of Heaven has Blessed You'!!!??? 

WTH??? Who is this Emperor of Heaven? She has never heard of him before?

Shin Jie Jie was slapped left and right by all the zeroes behind that unholy sum of 'Blessing'. This so-called Emperor was just a scoundrel! 

Fans: Mighty author, we await mass releases! A rain of paid chapters! We want the whole book! A spin-off! And a sequel! +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1.....



Author Jie Jie: "Which rotten child stole their rich parent's credit card! Come out! I swear not to spank you! Come here, let me teach you the value of money!" 

Big Brother Yang: "Slaves to money should better shut up and work!" 

Little Sister Yang: "Mighty author, I am your biggest fan! Please marry my brother!" 

Little does our Main Couple know that enemies will always meet on a narrow path. 

------------------

A funny read, a slow romance, a power couple, lot's of sweet moments, pretty much a happy ending. Sprinkled with gayness on top. I wish you a happy time reading! 

For every Spirit Stone, the author will send you a silent blessing ✨

Cover: The girl is drawn by Dadachyo, an amazing artist! Do check out their work and give them lots of love! As to the guy, I have no idea, do enlighten me, so I can give credit!

It was afternoon in Avalon’s downtown. On the busy street, a white stone building took up much of Avalon’s golden mile. The front yard within the black gates was empty. Guarded by two statues of saints at the end of the yard, the front door of the Musician Union was always open. Even in the daytime, the candles were lit, exuding a vague coldness and seriousness. Here, people came and went in silence. In the stern atmosphere, everyone seemed grave and serious.
This was the Musician Union’s branch in Avalon. Across the street was the Westminster Church. Different from the Musician Union’s silence, the church was bustling and full of commotion. There was an endless stream of religious followers coming over in carriages, or merchants going to exchange, or store their money orders or holy emblems.
For hundreds of years, these two landmarks stood beside Avalon’s Royal Avenue. One protected the kingdom from demons. The other maintained the economy and livelihood of Anglo’s people, supporting the kingdom with the Royalty.
But now, a few elites sat impatiently in a fancy carriage before the Musician Union’s door.
"That’s what he said?" Edmund’s eyes were ice cold. His face was still bruised and swollen, and he looked laughable. But the coldness in his eyes sent chills down Bart’s spine.
"That’s right." Bart grit his teeth. "He said he wants you to kneel in apology and forever be the academy’s laughingstock."
"If that’s the case, then we won’t keep them…" Edmund’s eyes became even more poisonous. "Seems like I was too naïve. After all, they’re scum and we shouldn’t expect them to know their place."
"You want to…" Bart’s muscles twitched and he broke off.
"Bart…" Edmund’s swollen eyelids lifted upward slightly. "You know that it’s always possible to make a mistake during a faceoff. The academy always has slots for the wounded or dead…"
Bart remained silent. They were in the carriage, but he seemed to smell the vile scent of the sewer. In the murky waters of the Thames, a white corpse could float into the ocean and disappear forever. What a pity that the girl, so white and delicate, would disappear into the sewer…
"Let them be cocky for a few more days. Life is short, after all." The corners of Edmund’s lips twisted. "Wait for my uncle to come back, and I’ll show them!"
"Are you sure?" Bart asked quietly. "What if your uncle doesn’t care about this?"
"That’s impossible!" He rubbed his throbbing nose. "My uncle loves me the most in the family. He won’t let a redneck mess with me." Edmund’s eyes flashed. "Just wait until I get the Dragon Breath Ring, and that mutt will see what the end of the world is like! Not even the teachers there will be able to save him!"
--
As they waited, the servant at the corner of the street noticed something. He waved his hat in the direction of the carriage. Everyone straightened. "He’s coming!"
Under everyone’s intense gaze, a column of horses galloped out of the crowd.
On the strictly monitored Royal Avenue, the group of men clad in gray cloaks galloped over on their stallions. As if they had rode through wind and dust, there was a layer of frost on everyone’s faces.
Some of the burly men held swords, while others had bows and arrows forbidden to commoners. Some were wounded, blood seeping through their bandages. The most shocking were the heads that hung from their saddles. The faces were hidden behind scraggly hair. Four sharp teeth gleamed from within their wide mouths. Two pointed ears were on each side.
Moon fae. They were the dark family that fell from mankind, a twisted demon tribe created by the Dark Mother. Often disguising themselves as humans, these creatures that hid within society were always on the list of the Musician Union’s wanted list. These seemingly elegant creatures, skilled in archery and swordsmanship, would turn into bloodsucking monsters, unable to control their thirst under the moonlight.
Following the middle-aged man at the head, they stopped before the Musician Union’s entrance. He jumped off his horse and handed his dusty cloak to his servant. Under his cloak, his elite hunting gear did not show any sign of travel or wear. Taking off his bloody gloves, he replaced them with new pure white gloves. Instantly, he transformed from a weary traveler back into an elite.
Seeing him, Edmund’s eyes lit up. "Uncle!"
--
Outside the door, the man conversed happily with his men. When he entered the union, he heard a voice behind him.
"Uncle! Uncle Bradley!"
The man halted. Turning back, his eyes lit up. "Little Edmund? Long time no see." He smiled widely as he walked toward his nephew, pride written all over his face. "I heard that you were accepted by the Royal Academy of Music. I was happy for you when I heard the news. Are you here to welcome me back?" He hugged his nephew. After studying him, his brows furrowed. "What happened to your face?"
"Nothing." Edmund smiled like a little boy. "I heard that you went to take care of the group of moon fae. How was it? I’ve been praying for you to come back quickly."
"A group of pointy ears is nothing to me." Bradley guided him forward. "There was some trouble with finding a guide though. Those scared commoners actually hid when they heard we needed a guide. Such a disgrace to Anglo."
"Those commoners dared to refuse an elite’s recruitment?" Edmund asked in shock.
Bradley huffed coldly. "Her Highness is too soft with those people calling for human rights. Even the peasants and slaves are getting uppity. But don’t worry, I have the intelligence and techniques to teach them. Let’s stop talking about these unimportant matters. The contribution points for this mission are worth my effort." He entered the hall of the union. Studying the list on the pillar, his eyes lit up. "It’s time to reap the rewards after working hard for so long."
There were always three stone tablets in the center of the Musician Union’s hall. They had already been there before the building had been constructed. As the building was built, different equipment and aether worked on the tablets. In the end, a dozen alchemy musicians worked together and carved a music score with a few hundred syllables and finally created the end result.
The three tablets could display something different according to what the musician played. One of them recorded all rewarding missions and the contribution points that could be had after completion. This included attacks on natural catastrophes, capturing of dark musicians, and removing the demons that appeared.
The one in the center displayed the rewards. One could exchange contribution points for alchemy equipment, instruments, and musical scores. This included the handwritten notes of masters and saints, classic scores such as the Goldberg Variations and Missa Solemnis in D, and legendary instruments made by saints. If one had enough points, they could exchange them for practically mythical instruments such as Heaven’s Horn.
The last tablet showed the ranking of musicians worldwide. The Sacred City ranked a musician according to the missions they accomplished, and their actions. The musician could decide whether or not to display it.
Of course, the top of the ranking was always the Three Kings. Following them were Haydn, Chopin, Shikuang, Boya, and other saints. This was why the Musician Union existed. Through everyone’s cooperation and hard work, all resources could be kept in the same place to encourage naturally arrogant musicians to do something real for the world.
This time, Bradley was willing to go out for one month to obtain a rare alchemy item—Double Snake Time Meter.
Of the seven major schools of musicians, the School of Summoning controlled beasts, the School of Choir searched for the meaning of life, the School of Illusions was immersed in the nonexistent, the School of Mind controlled the mind and soul, the School of Revelation thirsted for the future, the School of Abstinence focused on aether. Of these, the most popular school was undeniably the School of Modifications.
The musicians of this school were experts at controlling all living organism’s nature and changes. This included the crazily powerful and dangerous Battle Musicians and the Alchemist Musicians who could create alchemy equipment and instruments with runes and music. In addition to his own power, this type of musician also needed other items.
If he had good equipment, an average third level musician could even break through the Barrier of Knowledge and gain the upper hand over a Resonance Level musician. Alchemy equipment had always been considered rare. They were snatched up as soon as they went on the market. Those that could be on the exchange list were considered the best of best. Some of them could help the musician like the wind, or activate different music scores. Others could boost a musician’s power.
This included the Double Snake Time Meter that Bradley had been pining for recently. The third movement of the Brandenburgische Konzerte was carved onto it. 
One of its features was that the musician’s sense of aether would double within one minute! It was ineffective to musicians above level six, and could only be used once per week, but it was enough to make everyone crazy for it! If someone timed things correctly during a fight, and let his aether sense and control double instantly, even just one minute could turn the fight around completely.
Such treasured equipment obviously had a price. It costed two thousand points, but it was truly underpriced. Most people would never give up something like this, but the seller had been stuck at the Musician Level for too long and had no hope of enlightenment. He decided to go full out, and saved up his points to exchange for material needed for the Resonance Ceremony and break through the Barrier of Knowledge! Otherwise, he would never sell his treasure at the Musician Union.
If other people knew, they would definitely fight Bradley for it. But a week had gone by, and the equipment with serial code ST101 still had not appeared on the exchange list.
--
Thinking of this, Bradley could not help but smile proudly. He had heard of this news from his friend in the Union the day it had been sent over, and spent a lot of money to find a loophole in the selling process.
Usually, an item could be exchanged as soon as it was registered with the Union. But it needed a period of verification and storage before it could officially be on the exchange list. According to previous rules, this process could only be one week long. But after simplification in recent years, these two steps would not even take half a day.
In other words, Bradley had one more week than others to prepare. If he could exchange the item within one week, then no one would even know that this item had existed. No one would know about his secret weapon.
With uncontrollable ecstasy, Bradley strode to the front desk. He showed his identification card and evidence of his mission.
Behind the counter, the worker glanced at the thick book beside him. Silver font swam across the first page, displaying Bradley’s information.
"Congratulations, Mr. Bradley. You now have 2041 contribution points."
Hearing this, Bradley could no longer hide his pride. "I would like to exchange ST101, Double Snake Time Meter. Please hurry. I can’t wait any longer."
"Okay, just a moment." The worker flipped open the book and searched for the records and documents of the union. After a moment, shock appeared across his face.
"My apologies, sir, but the Double Snake Time Meter has already been exchanged."


Music and aether, an omnipresent element, is the source of all power. Musicians used music scores and alchemy to control the aether and defeated the natural catastrophe Leviathan, saving the world. But more catastrophes are awakening…
However, Ye Qingxuan has a different reason to become a musician—he just wants to find his father and know why his family was exiled.

2 weeks before Granny Jacob stuck to Quincy at the store...

"Okay, it's been 3 years and no progress yet," said Alice with a hint of irritation in her voice.
Janet sighed heavily, "One is a computer geek while the other is a science nerd. They both took chemistry yet they're so unreactive. We'll have to be the energy to make this nonspontaneous relationship work!"
Alice let out her laughter, "kettle calling pots black."
Janet laughed awkwardly when she realized her impromptu chemistry motto.
"How are we going to go about it though?"
They both couldn't seem to think about a way. 
"Let's just gather the old gang and butt heads together," Janet suggested.
"I'll get William and Candace to join in also. I know I promised not to force the relationship, but Summer is perfect," Alice mumbled out her last words.
"It's okay. Even strangers would see that they were meant for each other," Janet pacified. 

William Davis, Quincy's father, worked as a manager for a pharmaceutical company. He was transferred to another state to act as the branch manager when Quincy was 7, and shortly after the birth of Seraphina.
Candace Davis, Quincy's mother, was a microbiologist that often gave public lectures and remained in the lab most of the time.

Later that evening...
In attendance: grandparents of Quincy, Seraphina, Flora, and Claudia; parents of Seraphina and Quincy. The parents of the two-third of the 3 amigos were out of town, but they got the gist of it before the plan was executed. 
Quincy's parents joined the "group meeting" over Skype. The grandfathers led the highly secretive meeting.

Grandpa Davis: After thinking about it all day, we need to make them meet somehow.

Everyone present rolled their eyes.

Grandpa Jenkins: Old man, you're stating the obvious.

Grandpa Jacob: Yes. This meeting is to discuss the way to make them meet.

Laura Jacob: It needs to be natural and flawless.

William Davis: Why not just set them up on a blind date and move on?

They all stared at him with looks that screamed "STUPID!"

Candace Davis: If they had agreed, we wouldn't be here right now Mister.

Grandma Jenkins: Those 2 brats kept filling Summer's head with blind date horror stories, 'she said as she chuckled lightly'

Grandpa James: How about hooking them up separately?

Grandma James: Old man, do you need hearing aids now? 

Grandpa James: I didn't mean it that way. Why not have Janet meet up with Quincy?

Grandpa Davis: That makes sense. Quincy has a soft spot for older people. Alice just needs to cough once, and he'll buy a water corporation to moist her throat.

Everyone present laughed. Quincy really was that kind hearted.

Paul Jacob: Mom is the right one to do it. She knows Summer the best, and she'll definitely agree with mom's choice.

Grandma Davis: But he isn't familiar with Janet.

Grandma Jacob: Soon, he will be *smirk*

The meeting went on for another hour, and everyone was left satisfied with the outcome.

To-do list
1. Keep tabs on the subjects.
2. Approach the subjects in a subtle manner.
3. Hold on to one subject and call out the other for a beautiful "disguised" lunch.
4. Get them married.
5. Get beautiful babies.

The gang definitely had their priorities set, but did things work out according to their to-do list? Conspiracy IV...

"Quincy"
"Yes darling"
"I'm not yours yet"
"You were mine the moment I laid eyes on you"
"Quincy"
"Yes darling"
"You're too old"
"I heard older guys are spicier. The spicier, the better. I wouldn't say old, I'd say mature"
"Quincy, go home"
Quincy Davis shamelessly claimed Seraphina Jacob as his. He liked her at first sight, but he fell for her at the first "hello". 

"Sera"
"Yes Quincy?"
"My eyes are up here"
"Oh My. I prefer the two dangling eyes between your thighs. The nose in between is saying hello to me. Hi little Quincy. Let's get to know each other well in the future"
"Sera, eyes up here not down there"
Seraphina Jacob shamelessly claimed Quincy Davis as hers. She liked him at first "naked" sight, but fell for him at the first "kiss".

This is a fluttering story about Quincy and Seraphina, and how their love blossomed in the Summer.

Updates at least 2 chapters a day. Currently updates 5-6 chapters per day.
