Jacob Jake Willy Patty Malcom Janet - Main Characters

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.

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?

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.


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."

~No worries. I was confused for a moment when Janet started asking me about that sunscreen and that was when I remembered that she knows that you are a supernatural. I will have it ready at the door for you and this stuff is waterproof just each time you leave the water be careful and apply more. If you use more than you thought you would then don't worry about it. I have included the supplier's name in the bag so Cedric can order you some more when it is needed.~
Yuki's phone buzzed again. ~I am doing very well today. I am happy to be of some use to you. You are such a sweet girl. I have been looking at hairstyles for you and I might have found the right one to go with that dress!~
Yuki giggles on the bed. While waiting for Cedric to come back.
Cedric writes a note and leaves directions for Claude in case either of them come looking for him and Yuki.
Claude and Sephira,
Thank you for everything that you two did for us. I want you two to take a break. I think that Yuki and I will be okay but if you feel anything from us we are going to be on the houseboat. The houseboat will be on the Pacific ocean. So come and find us there. I will be doing some fishing so if you want to come along just shoot me a text as I will have the tower up.
~Cedric
He pins the note to his door with the location that the boat will be. Then enters the room. "Are you ready to go?"
Yuki hops off the bed and sees the laptop and books in his arms. "Did you grab some vials?" She couldn't see them and was a bit worried that he might have forgotten.
"There are five in my pocket. I am not wanting to take any chances so if you are ready we will take one of the cars." Cedric smiled and started walking to the door.
Yuki was carrying her phone and skipped happily behind him. "I am glad that I get to do this. Will it be safe to swim where we are going? Oh, and we need to stop at Michelle's, she has the sunblock for me."
Cedric smiled, "You will be able to swim just not in the ocean. Sunblock is extremely important. Change your hair and eyes while I pull the car out front, When I am ready I will honk the horn." He bent down and kissed her on the lips.
Yuki kissed him lightly back and changed her hair colour and she focussed on her eyes next. She slowly shifted her eyes until they shone blue. She put on the sunglasses and skipped outside when she heard the horn honk. She climbed into the front seat next to Cedric. "I did not get to see but is the colour okay?" She looks up at him and slides the shades down a little bit so that he could see.
Cedric sees her eyes and licks his lips. "That looks about the same as yesterday. I love how you look no matter what you do or how you look. It all makes me want to devour you." Cedric pulls out of the driveway and drives until they reach Michelle's store. "You can go on in and get what you need and then we will park the car and go to the ocean."
Yuki put her phone down, leaned over and softly kissed his lips. She hopped out of the car and went into the store and spotted Janet. "Janet! I am here for the items!"
Janet turned around and saw Yuki and smiled happily. "You look good in that. I have just the perfect thing for you." Janet turned and grabbed a sun hat the had sunflowers that looked real but were not real. She places the hat on Yuki's head and smiles. "Yup it is perfect. Also, here is a package of elastic bands you might want to tie your hair up." She tossed them in the bag and handed the bag over. "Don't worry I will; charge it to Cedric." She blew Yuki a kiss.
"Thank you, Janet. I will be off now." Yuki waved and skipped back to the car. She opened the back seat and placed the bag down. Then she got into the front of the car.
"Nice hat. It goes well with the outfit and it is a good idea. Janet must have told you to take it. I do not mind as she was right to give it to you." After she was buckled in Cedric took off and drove for a short while until he reached a garage. He pulled the car in and got out. He grabbed Yuki's bag, his work sh*t, and waited.
Yuki got out of the car and closed the door. As soon as she was out she felt Cedric's arm wrap around her waist. "I thought we were going to the ocean?" she asks this a little confused.
"We are but I wanted to get there faster so we will drop off this car and go to a closer location." Cedric ports the two of them in an alley close to the dock and holds her hand. He leads the way and the two blend in with the crowd.
Yuki smiles and sees the ocean in the distance. "Oh, wow, it is so stunning!!!" She takes a breath and the saltwater smell hits her.
Cedric smiles and leads her while carrying everything that they had in the car. "I am glad that you like it so far. I am sure that the real adventure will be when we are on the boat. Do you want to get on the boat first or walk a little bit."
Yuki looks at everything that Cedric is carrying. "We can come back and explore another day. I would rather just spend some quality time on the boat with you. That is if it is okay with you, Cedric?"
"Sweetheart, if that is what your sweet little heart desires that we can do that." Cedric starts to lead the way to the docks. He showed his pass and they allowed him to enter. They passed through a few gates and then they reached the last one.

The world belongs to the humans but what they do not know is that in the dark hours of the night there is a slave market that happens in the woods. No one knows about it except those that are wealthy and pay a fee for the membership. As the slave market moves from town to town, finally they reach its destination where they call up the buyer letting him know that they have arrived with some intriguing goods that he might be interested in. 

The slave that was bought from the Slave Market in the middle of the night was taken to her new home by her first Master. She feels safe with him but doesn’t remember anything from her past and doesn’t know what secrets lurk in her mind. 

The Master that bought a new toy thought since she was what he was looking for. He hoped that she would last longer than the rest but what he didn’t expect was the past to come back to him after a hundred years without it. With his new memories he softens up but only for her as she is now his everything, he will stop at nothing to protect her and help each other remember their past together.

Excerpt

"Just who do you think you are? I will get you thrown out of this area if you continue to loiter around here. I was just having a chat with my soon to be man when you interrupted me." The girl pointed at Yuki blaming her.

"Darling, were you going to pick up someone else when you already have me by your side?" Yuki turned and pressed her body up against his side. She rubbed her chest on his side to show that he was hers.

"You know that I can not replace you, Liliana. I was only telling these ladies that they couldn't have the purse that I specially ordered for you." He moved his hand to her ass and squeezed.

The ladies looked embarrassed for a moment. "No, I will get what I want. I want that man and that purse!" The lady screamed and her face turned beet red.

Yuki turned her head over, "you can not control someone's feelings. You can not compare to me in any way shape or form." Yuki turned her head away shapely.

"Oh is that so. THEN I CHALLENGE YOU TO A BEAUTY CONTEST!! There is a competition for the queen of the beach today and if you win I will leave you alone and bow down to you but if I win I want that purse and your man!"

Whoosh-

The wind blew inside the library.

"… Food?"

The Samchunkyo leader wondered if he heard him wrong.

"Yeah. I'm hungry. I'm sure you make pretty decent food. It's all about quality. It doesn't have to be much. Including this person beside me, make enough food for 2 people."

Min Sung then grabbed another book that was lying on the table.

The Samchunkyo leader blankly stared at Min Sung and then looked at the ground with concern.

Min Sung closed the book again and then walked toward the Samchunkyo leader, who was in nothing but his white panties.

The leader instinctively flinched and trembled.

"Hurry up and make the best thing you can make here," Min Sung said right in front of the Samchunkyo leader's face.

The Samchunkyo leader pointed at the red robe that was folded away.

"Can I please put on my clothes first?"

The Samchunkyo leader looked at him with pleading eyes.

"Ho Sung."

In response, Ho Sung Lee lifted his head in the middle of reading a book.

"Yes, Sir!"

"Keep your eye on him. Check that he's not putting poison into the food."

"Yes, Sir. Is it okay that I go alone?"

Ho Sung Lee asked with an anxious face.

"Yeah. You can beat him."

In response to Min Sung's remark, the Samchunkyo leader opened his eyes wide as if he was hurt.

Ho Sung Lee looked at the Samchunkyo leader in pity.
And when the Samchunkyo leader noticed Ho Sung Lee's glance, he looked even more hurt as he put on his clothes.

***

The Samchunkyo leader walked out of the library with Ho Sung Lee.

He normally would have been able to call someone over, but since he was no longer able to use his Aura, he had to look for the people in person.

In addition, there were also guards standing by, but they had all left.

The only ones remaining were those who got paid.

The Samchunkyo leader smiled bitterly.

It wasn't long ago that he lived a life of luxury like an emperor.

But after he met that Korean hunter, he lost all the authority that he previously had.

'Life is a joke.'

The Samchunkyo leader wanted to die as soon as possible.

Just the thought of the humiliation he endured with his clothes off made him furious inside.

He wanted to vomit blood and die.

When he refused to help him with the books of martial arts, he used an alternative and cruel method.

'Ugh… Damn it.'

He thought he was capable of withstanding most tortures, but this was way too cruel.

When he grabbed him by the throat and unleashed his magic spell, a nightmare ensued.

He experienced pain that he had never felt before.

Rather than doing something that would make him lose consciousness, he made sure he stayed present… And the thought of that gave him chills.

The nightmare planted inside his head caused pain all over his body.

Complete darkness.

The Samchunkyo leader struggled within that darkness.

The devil's laughter didn't stop, and it continued to ring from all directions.

The sound of the devil's laughter dug through his eardrums, and the dirty and sticky hands of the devil touched him all over his body and began to eat him alive.

The most shocking part of all was the fact that he could never wake from it.

It was a darkness that couldn't be compared to physical pain.

This was more than just torture. He was being pushed down into Hell.

When the Samchunkyo leader thought back on those memories, his face grew pale, his eyes darkened, and he felt his skin dry up.

And his memory of standing in just his underwear during his so-called punishment made him feel so humiliated that death would have been better.

But why wasn't he going crazy?

That was the most painful question of all.

The Samchunkyo leader shook those thoughts out of his head.

At that moment.

"Cheer up," Ho Sung Lee said.

Th Samchunkyo leader looked at Ho Sung Lee and sighed deeply.

'I can't believe I'm hearing this from that thing.'

He no longer had the energy to even look angry, as he was now nothing but a tiger without its fangs.

"… What's his favorite food?"

The Samchunkyo leader asked with an exhausted voice.

"You don't have to worry about making it healthy. It just has to taste good."

The Samchunkyo leader thought of all the food he had tried in the past.

But he had always been so obsessed with martial arts that he never had a particular interest in food.

Furthermore, he felt heavy when he ate so much, so he never ate much, and in order to grow his muscles, he mostly ate meat along with nutritional supplements.

For that reason, the Samchunkyo leader had no idea what kind of food was considered delicious or satisfying.

"Oh, you don't' have to worry about the menu. You have me."
 
Ho Sung Lee caught on and got rid of the Samchunkyo leader's worries.

In response, the leader sighed.

"Stop sighing. You might get beat up by my master again."

The Samchunkyo leader was about to sigh once more, but he swallowed it back.


***

They reached the kitchen.

The Sachunkyo leader called upon another person. 

He told him he had to prepare delicious food, and that Ho Sung Lee would watch over the process.

In response, the employee asked for just a moment and returned to the kitchen in order to prepare the materials.

Luckily, the soldiers had all left Samchunkyo, but the cooks, who got paid to work, were still there.

Meanwhile, Ho Sung Lee saw all of the employees dressed in modern clothes and sighed at the Samchunkyo leader.

"Hey, Mister."

In response, the Samchunkyo leader flinched and looked at Ho Sung Lee.

He felt rage within him, but his original vigor had died down due to his recent circumstances.

Since Min Sung Kang prevented him from being able to use his Aura, he was nothing more than just a regular person.

"What are you glaring at? And what's with that outfit?"

Ho Sung Lee scanned the Samchunkyo leader's outfit in pity.

Ho Sung Lee knitted his brows at the bright red and silky robe.

"I mean, everyone else is wearing modern clothes. Why are you dressed like that? So embarrassing."

The Samchunkyo leader stared into space.

When he saw his blank face, Ho Sung Lee coughed thinking he might have crossed the line.

"Well, I respect your taste, but I feel like you're going overboard… Sorry if I offended you."

The Samchunkyo leader plopped down on his knees. He grabbed his head and began screaming.

"Aaaaaaagh!"

Ho Sung Lee flinched in response.

"Huh? What's wrong, Mister? I said I'm sorry! Okay, fine. It looks good on you. You look cool!"

Ho Sung Lee tried to comfort him, but there was no use.

The Samchunlyo leader screamed and rolled around on the ground like a crazy person.

Ho Sung Lee sighed and stared at him with discomfort.

"…"

The sight made him feel bad for him.

***
Ho Sung Lee looked around the kitchen where the food was made in Samchunkyo.

Everyone was busy cooking.

Many people worked in this kitchen, and it was full of cooks who were very talented.

Samchunkyo had so much money that they employed the best chefs.

But it wasn't all about skill.

To Min Sung Kang, it was all about a proper meal more than a meal that was served in a classy manner.

Ho Sung Lee watched over the cooks inside the kitchen.

He instructed them on what to make and how to make it.

Ho Sung Lee made his orders very clear.

And then he watched over them as they prepared it.

He almost looked like he had been working as the head of that kitchen for years, which made everyone feel taken aback.

And as for the Samchunkyo leader, he simply stood near the door covered in dirt as if he was a dirty and abandoned broom.

***

Min Sung read the books and memorized all of the technical skills.

What he read, in the beginning, were just basics that were unnecessary, but these detailed skills were things he could make use of.

He was able to use all sorts of abilities even with the weakest force.

The information he read was impressive.

After much contemplation, he acknowledged that this was compiled through extensive research.

He quickly read through the book and went on to the average as well as the advanced books.

The advanced books focused mostly on revelations.

There was a limit to martial arts.

And the only way to surpass that limit was to approach it with a new mindset and method.

There was one thing in particular that Min Sung realized while reading the books, which was that he had only been focusing on increasing the force of his magic spells.

The reason why he was able to increase the force was because he ate a lot of monsters in the Demonic Realm.

He literally swallowed them whole, allowing him to absorb their magic power as well.

However, the speed of advancement was low when one only focused on the output.

In order to claim new territory and become stronger, he had to do things completely differently.

He needed to change his mindset.

While Min Sung thought about that.

Knock, knock-

He heard someone knock.

"Come in," Min Sung replied.

After living in a desolate land, where there wasn't even a single blade of grass and hunger was an everyday reality, Min Sung finally returns to Earth: his home.

"Am I... back from the dead?"

Having lived off the remains of the monsters he had slain for a century, the food on Earth became a heavenly delicacy to him.

"Do NOT get between me and my meal!"

Judgment awaits those who disrupt the champion's meal.

Now, let the feast of the ultimate reincarnator begin!

When Matt ended reading a book, he could see that almost midnight come. While looking at his phone he murmured "so today is a day of me starting being an unknown hero". When he looked at it one minute only left to it. While he was doing it, he could hear "happy one-year anniversary unknown hero".

While looking out he could see that everyone was on their balcony. "Thanks" he murmured and then he walked back. While he was there, he makes food and while having it he comes back to reading while eating. While he was doing it Andy's voice comes "how are you".

"Nothing changed but I hope nobody will disturb me now," Matt said to him.

"I know but you hear this," Andy asked.

"Yes," Matt said.

"It's around the world they were planning it for over a month that everyone should do this" Andy said.

"And you telling me about this because," Matt asked.

"Oh, just to be you better," he said.

"I know but still it's so fucking annoying," Matt said.

"Wait, I will send you the best views," Andy said and then he started sending him them. While having it Matt said, "I will look about it later now I'm going back reading and then sleep,".

"Ok our hero lets have a party when you did anniversary at school," Andy said. 

"I hope so we will have one" Matt said and then Andy ended connection. When he did this Matt started looking at clips which he received. The first few been only some actors but later he looked closely. While looking at it he could see necked beauties screaming it. While seeing it he fast deleted it and then he murmured "you and your love for boobs" and then he come back to reading books. While he ended it, he could see that almost two has come. While seeing it he prepared uniform for tomorrow and then he goes sleep. 

While he was sleeping for a long time, call him to wake him up. While seeing an unknown number he answered and said "yes".

"Where are you," Janet asked.

"In bed sleeping," Matt said.

"Everything will start in ten minutes and you only one is missing," she said.

"Ok I will there soon," he said while getting up taking a fast shower and walking to school. 

When Janet ended her call, she looked at the teacher and she said: "he overslept".

"Oh it's a new thing," someone said.

"Yes, it's a new one but we should be careful if he does this now what will happen later," the teacher said. While hearing her Janet said, "he is coming I will wait for him outside,".

"Ok," the teacher said. While she walked out, she could see that Matt walk fast to school. While seeing him she comes closer and after fixing his uniform she said: "you know that you shouldn't do this".

"What book takes me too much," he said while looking at her.

"Oh could you borrow it to me," she asked.

"Maybe lets come back inside and then we can talk," he said. While hearing him she nodded, and then they started walking inside. While they come to the classroom teacher said: "why you have your bag with you".

"Oh I have some food for me and while I couldn't hide it I just take it," Matt said. 

"Ok" teacher said and then they walked out. While they come there, everyone looked at the headmaster and then he started speech "welcome everybody on this nice day. While most of you know one year ago war world three started. While we thought it will be the end of our world someone come and then he ended it.".

While listening to him everyone started clapping. While hearing it Matt did the same but from his point of view, it was much different. While he hasn't paid attention to what the headmaster is talking about while most of it been political and brainwashing information's Matt looked at everyone who had been listening to him. While he was doing it Andy said: "everyone will play one more time your action".

While hearing it Matt nodded a little while knowing that Andy is looking at him he comes back to not listening all. 

While Matt been doing it Andy stopped listening to what happened around Matt's place and then he turned to general and he said: "sir nothing new happened all is good".

"Be ready I have felt that something will happen in empire and while don't know what we need to be ready for it?" General Harris said.

"yes, sir," Andy said while going around seeing if something new is happening. 

While he was doing it Ann comes inside and while seeing them she said: "Sir I'm ready to come back".

"You have two weeks leave," the general said.

"But sir I'm ready," Ann said.

"Its order" general said.

"Yes sir," Anna said while saluting.

"So how is your arm," Andy asked.

"Healed," Ann said.

"It's fast," he said.

"Yes that's why I'm telling I'm ready," Ann said.

"You will need to pass again psychological tests," the general said while getting up from his chair and then he said, "I will be in my office tell me when something happened".

"Yes sir," Andy and Ann said at the same time. While they told it they started looking at what is happening. 

In the middle of the Irish Sea.

"Boss we will be there soon," the pilot said.

"Ok be ready soon we will go there and attack we have around fifteen minutes," boss of the red group said.

"Yes, sir," every one from his group said at the same time. While he looked around, he could see that ten helicopters been close each of them was an old empire type but still they use them in some places. While he been doing it he said: "I will tell this one more time to be ready and I hope you remember our target".

"Yes sir," everyone said and then they started being impatient for a mission to start.

 The cover isn't mine

After resting for a whole day and meet the father of Sabrina and David, and eating a lot, Noah decided to go for a walk alone. He wanted to see in which environment he was now. He could not stay in the home of others for a long time, he was already very thankful for their help and for the hostage, but he wanted to search something for himself.
"Sabrina, David I will go for a walk in the city alone. I think I will be the whole day out."
Sabrina replied: "Why alone? We can accompany you and we can show you the city."
Noah smiled warmly and replied:" No thanks, I need to be alone for a time. I was for a long time isolated and I want to see the outside world calmly and without any pression. Maybe next time we can go together and play in the city."
"Humph! Ok, but don't do trouble and keep in your mind that the city of Goldberg is full of arrogant young master and they can mess with anyone without reason."
"Yes, Yes, I keep it in mind."
Then he went to the city center. Because the mansion of the Edelgrade House was outside of the city, because they needed a lot of place to train as knight and inside the city was not possible to have that much place. Whatever after entering the city, he began to walk slowly, and he was looking every detail of the city. He saw Goldberg City in movies and photos, but it was totally different from what he was seeing now.
The mega city with over 30.000.000 people living there and the capital of the Goldenkrone city was 3000 years ago only a small city, which can be called a village 3000 years in the future. The only think he could recognize was the palace in the middle of the city.
The Goldberg palace was known in the future as the old royal palace and the museum of royalty. The tourist from all over the continent went there to see the old palace and they wondered it as one of the best constructed buildings in the history and one of the world wonders.
He also noticed that the people of the city did not looked as good and they looked kind of Malnourished. He never saw nutrition problems in his time, then one thing what they had a lot was food and water. Even if you were not able to work and need help of the empire, then you would get sufficient to eat and live without problems.
It was a social system established by the government of the Neutral City and later it was implemented in the three empires too. At the beginning they thought that they would give money to the poor without becoming something in return, but it was completely the contrary, because the descendants of those poor people could grow without problems of health or education and they could work and pay taxes. Since then every empire took the social system as the core of their economy. Of course, the empires had their ups and downs, but they managed every time to go further.
Right now, they were still very primitive and Neutral City did not exist yet, but in the future will be.
"Wait, if I am not wrong Athrosh will appear soon in the continent and he will change everything for better."
He was excited to know that he is at the same time as Athrosh and maybe he will see him too.
While Noah was fantasizing with Athrosh, the people are looking at Noah strangely. It was strange that Noah did not notice that he is watched by so many people. Some of them were flustering:
"What kind of clothes are he wearing? What are those strange things in his hand?"
"I think he is from anther empire. I heard they has strange clothes too."
"His clothes look so comfortable. I need something similar too."
While the common people were talking about the clothes, a young man with a lot of servants was looking at Noah with greed. His eyes are only looking at the colorful clothes of Noah and he wanted them.
The same young man then approached to Noah with his army of servants and said:
"Hey, from where do you have these clothes? Tell me now, it's an order."
Noah who was still daydreaming woke up and then looked confused at the young man in front of him. The young man was handsome and refined, but his voice was bad to hear.
"Do I know you? And who gave you the right to order others?"
"You don't know the Al Gore house. One of the strongest magician family in the capital. Tell me quickly or I break you bones one by one."
Noah looked around him and he did not understand the situation he was right now. It looked like an unreal situation of a drama his grandma watched.
"I think you need psychological help. I cannot waste my time with you and these clothes are unique in this world. Only I have these clothes."
Psycho… what? What nonsense are you saying?"
"You are too retarded to understand it. Bye."
The young man then shouts angrily:
"I am Josh Al Gore; nobody dares to call me retarded. Now undress those clothes and give them to me and prepare yourself. I will break every bone in your body."
Noah sighed hearing this retarded bastard, he could not hear anymore this little bastard. He never meets with such an arrogant person before, he does not have even common sense.
"What? I should undress myself and let you break my bones?"
"Yes"
Noah is angry now and he wants to beat this bastard to pulp, but he holds himself.

This is the story of a young man, who travels accidentally  3000 years back in the past. Because he is the first man ever to travel in time, God gave him a system to help him become stronger.
Once in the past, our main character will begin his journey in this unknown but known world.
Through his journey he will know a lot of new people and live a lot of adventures.
Was it really an accident or was it destiny to travel back in time? This is the question that will accompany our main character in this journey.

Autor: Hello everyone, I am Neonime_Tam. This is my second novel and I want to share it with you. I hope you can like it and if you want to, then give me a review. Thank you.

I will publish one chapter a day, from Monday to Friday.

The guard in the black suit costume pushed lightly on Lexi's shoulder, enough to push her out from the hospital-like building.
Lexi staggered for a bit before she regained her footing again. With a mad face, she turned her head to the guard. A few moments later she averted her eyes to somewhere else.
She was no longer mad. Instead she was calmer than before.
Lexi looked around her and she realized that she was not in the same place like in the 21st century anymore. Instead she was inside a place with a big building with advanced technologies.
Whether it was on the ground or on the air, much weird and advanced transportation was moving here and there.
Lexi opened her mouth in awe. She never expected that she would transmigrate into a place like this.
After she woke up and the guard brought her to her changing room, Lexi began to think about everything that happened to her.
Lexi believed she was transmigrating into another body with the same name.
The owner of this body is also named as Lexi and she was actually a young girl with 16 years old. In the past, Lexi was almost 27 years old. She should be 27 years old when Luke confessed to her.
Thinking about Luke, it makes Lexi feel a bit guilty.
Anyway, the original Lexi was already dead when she was doing a job: being a Racer and also a Guardian in the Deadly Car Racing.
From the memory of the original body, this century has one extremely famous yet dangerous job called The Deadly Car Racing. It was extremely dangerous and each road was filled with many kinds of dangerous things. Many car racers have died in this job but no one cares about their life as the payment was really worthy.
In this Deadly Car Racing, a team must be established. There is no limited number of members as long as the requirements for a team establishment are followed.
Inside a team, there must be six important positions to be completed; Racer, Guardian, Fighter, Hacker, Paramedic and Mechanic.
The original Lexi died when a large machine hit her and buried her deep into the ground.
"I couldn't believe she would die just like that, just because of the hit...*cough* *cough* that's truly shameful," Lexi snorted while crossing her hands onto her big chest.
The hospital-like building she just stepped out a few moments later is a hospital provided for all the people who wounded or died from the Car Racing. Since the technologies were too advanced in this century, the doctors inside the hospital didn't really feel weird when they saw Lexi wake up from the dead because with the current technologies, they can even revive back the dead.
If they know that the original Lexi is already dead and the current Lexi is occupying this body now, they might be...
Well, Lexi also wants to know what their reaction is as well.
The original Lexi has a younger brother, his age is 10 years old. His name is Oscar Sydney. Besides the blood-relative younger brother, Lexi also has a stepmother; Janet Thomas. Janet wasn't Lexi's real stepmother as she never married to her father but Janet already took care of Lexi and Oscar as her own children since they were little.
Lexi and Oscar lost their family around 9 years ago, where there was a war between the Tanggol Nation and the enemy neighbourhood, the Iron Sun Nation. After two years, the Deadly Car Racing became famous between these two countries.
Tanggol Nation is the current Nation where Lexi was transmigrated into. Tanggol Nation was a big nation which was surrounded by tall and strong walls which were made by the strongest metal in this century. This wall is called the High Sky Wall; the height is taller than the Everest Mountain in the 21st century.
The place outside of the High Sky Wall is where the racing car takes places; the Deadly Racing Territory.
Whilst inside the High Sky Wall, the Tanggol Nation is divided into six cities; City A, City B, City C, City D, City E and City F.
The current city where her family and Lexi lived is inside the City E. Since the previous owner has a little yet happy family, Lexi should cherish them too and help the family to live in a better place.
Even though this wasn't the 21st century and has advanced technologies, it didn't perish the racism between the socials of the people. The people still have the same thinking which is; the poor or weak people live their life like a hell while the wealthy and strong people can do whatever they want. This means that if the people are weak or poor, they could only live in an average state.
Lexi's family hasn't been rich since the beginning and Janet only depends on her payment as a housewife for their food each day. In this century, although you are just an unemployed person, you still paid at least 100 Silver each week.
(Types of money; Gold, Silver and Copper. 1 Gold: 100 Silver. 1 Silver: 100 Copper.)
With the memory of the original owner, Lexi found her way back home. She walked through all the streets and she watched everything at her sight.
The people from this century have so many different shapes and colours from the 21st century. If Lexi never watched the movie of Guardian Galaxy, she would probably faint due to the different colour of the people's skin. These people actually have the same shape and colour from the Guardian Galaxy. Except they had more advanced technologies; *like the movies of Alita; The Battle of Angel* *Coughs*....
'Am I really in the real world... Or did I transmigrate into some kind of books or games? I have read many books about transmigration that transmigrated into books or games. Nah, I don't think so... I didn't have any memory about movies or books or games about places like this. Even the Deadly Car Racing also looks new to me...'
Lexi walked through one of the streets where business is around here full of restaurants. Just when she smells one of the food scents, she feels as if she wants to puke.
That smell is really disgusting...!!
Where is that smell coming from?

Lexi, a multi-talented person died because of an incident when the boat is suddenly being ambushed by rebellion people.

Her soul transmigrate to 5000 years later when all the technology become more advance than the 21st century.

What makes this new life interesting is that there is a deadly and dangerous job called as the Deadly Car Racing in this century. Even though it is dangerous, it pays a life-worth fee.

Lexi become one of the car racer and she was very excited to this new adventure. Because this Deadly Car Racing is 1000x not normal.

By hiding her identity, she become the renown and feared racer.

She is after all the Dark Rosette.
